THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1954 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE The Eagle or the Oyster? © Fritz Henle—Courtesy Cities Service Company Now comes the season of the year when the Red, White and Blue is glorified in oratory throughout the land. Platitudes flow. Washington, Lincoln, Franklin, Patrick Henry, and Jefferson are quoted. For speakers bold enough to break with this tradition, rte suggest the examination of a speech written by Merle Thorpe, editor of SERVICE Magazine, for the July issue. Theme—“The Eagle or the Oyster? n For a people . . . who elect opportunism rather than opportunity, who dream of security rather than success; who believe political charity is a virtue; who mock the frugal and plunder the thrifty; who adopt the rule that if I don’t succeed you are to blame, that what you have is as much mine as yours; who contend that property is a shameful sign of success; who whimper that failure is the nobler cause; well-being is wicked; prudence, out-of-date; sacrifice silly— for such a people a fitting em blem is the Oyster. For a people . . . who faced nature in the raw, with privation the rule and hardihood a virtue; who endured defeat, disease and disaster for a hundred years in order to get a foothold on the Eastern Sea board, the while with one eye on the interior, a no-man’s land, a cockpit for settling international rivalries and private grudges, disputed by wild animals and wilder redmen; who sacrificed thus for a belief in the worth and dignity of the indi vidual; who believed that economic free dom was as important as political freedom; who substituted “In God We Trust,” for the Old World motto “In Government We Trust”; for a nation built by men who dedicated their lives to achieve the realization of these beliefs, I give you, fellow citizens— the Eagle!

Mr. and Mrs. George Elbert Bible Comment: St. Luke Gave Us Priceless Record Of the Gospel S AINT LUKE, author of the Third Gospel, was not one of the Twelve Apostles. But to him we owe a great deal of our knowledge about them. For the history of the early church, we again depend upon St. Luke, whose Bo6k of Acts is a valuable supplement to the Pauline Epistles. Of the Gospel incidents, Luke was not an eyewitness (Luke 1:2), but ia relating what eye witnesses told him Luke brought to his Gospel the same power of narration so vividly displayed in his reports of things of which he was a part. Two parables of Luke’s are notable: the Prodigal son, re corded only by him, and the Lost Sheep. Though Man thinks in terms of numbers—we estimate the se riousness of a calamity by the number of lives lost—Luke, fol lowing the Master, reveals God’s concern for a single soiil in his unforgettable parable of the Lost Sheep. Of Luke, himself, we have but a limited knowledge. Refer ences in Colossians IV indicate he was a Gentile convert. .That he was the companion of Paul in much that he nar rates is implied in passages where “we” appears, and it seems probable that Luke be came a Christian through Paul. What is certain, apart from all conjecture, is the place that Luke occupies in preserving for all time the most complete refc- ord of the Gospel story- He has given the world the life and work of Jesus, and also the vivid story of how Chris tianity spread from Jerusalem tc Antioch and to Europe. ink it YOUR STATE AND MINE T HE Agricultural Department, of the Seaboard the first organization to promote actively the development of peach growing in the sandhill area of South Carolina. A section-wide meeting of -land owners and others was held under the auspices of the Sea board at McBee about 35 years ago. A large crowd was present despite the snow-covered ground. One of the pioneers in the de velopment of the Georgia peach industry attended the meeting and made the principal address. This was the beginning of com mercial peach growing in the Carolina sandhill area. The following year the Sea board promoted and held a similar meeting at Cheraw, which gave the peach industry further impetus. As a result of these meetings a number of laml owners planted peaches. Later, when the peach or chards came into bearing, Sea board agents .assisted growers in forming a marketing organi zation and the employing of a competent marketing agent. preside: CAPITAL UFIi INSURANCE COMPANY “Founded on Faith—Dedicated to Scniee” COLUMBIA, S.

Sports Afield By TED RESTING The barren ground carbou is to a vast part of Canada what the buffalo once was to the United States, and it seems as surely on its way to near-extinction as the buffalo. But unlike the buffalo,, the caribou has no substitute. It is the only large animal capable of surviving in its habitat in great numbers. No domestic animal such as cattle can replace it. If the caribou go, the non-agricultural natives will starve to death or be come a heavier burden on the gov- emmept. A scientific survey indicates the caribou population has dropped 62 per cent in the last 56 years. The herds simply can’t, stand such a drain. Canada’s chief problem in saving the caribou lies in educat ing the inland Eskimos, Indians and northern whites to avoid waste—to live on the interest and let the capital remain. The Indians down in the tree belt could be taught to plant and use vegetables, and to utilize more fish. But this means — changing their entire habits. They always have been hunters and nothing else—except for gathering a few wild crops. And even the thought of trying to convince them they should plant potatoes is afipaling. Last year Bill Wolf traveled through Canada to study the situ ation for Sports Afield magazine. He feels one of the first steps toward conservation of the caribou is to discourage using caribou meat for dog food. Control of wolves as the chief predators is secondary, and a systematic use of poison pellets or cyanide guns would accomplish this. As for sport hunting, it could be come a plague through overuse of the airplane. Right now, it is not a contributing factor to the decline of caribou. Provincial and domin ion experts frown upon sport hunt ing and they'll probably end It. After all, how can you convince whites and natives of the North to conserve caribou if sportsmen fly (continued on page seven) This an' That It’s now official.
