VOLUME U>—NUMBER 2:‘> NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1956 $2.00 PER YEAR By;The Way By Doris A. Sander* ai ciude> the letter 4 wavs Mrs. Sanders print with his OPINIONS nil I I K I have reeeivCMi a a-tter aated Septen.ber 24 in which the writer advises that he •' !: * 1 pasted that yea and anv na inner of any prees shouhi teei the wu> you do about our « ounty Board - ’ (of Zducation). The write!' con tinues with his opinions of me nd of the County Board and eon- ■ y savin p he wonders if will la* {irinted in this paper and that he is sure if he were *'in sympathy with the press, it would be in the next issue. ’ First 1 will tell him or her that when I have something to say about an issue, my name is ai- printed along with what 1 Iw’rite. Had the r‘vnterosted tax payer" been will- ling to sign his lor her name, he [may have been Jassured that hits [letter would have [been printed [word for word. Ilf he or she I would like to see the letter i n name withheld. 1 will be most happy to print the letter but neither the Sunpaper nor any respectable newspaper in this state or anywhere else prints anonymous letteiss I am not ashamed to place my name on articles 1 write. And 1 would also advise the letter writer that whether the letter happened to agree with my views or disagree, it will still not be published ur- 1 less we knew the identity ot the writer. 1 have said on several occa sions, and 1 will repeat: we are always glad to print letters on any subject from any person wh« is willing to sign his name. If this writer were very observant, he would have noticed that before the bond election we printed let ters from readers favoring the bond issue, although we did not ^ee eye to eye with them. The writer wants me to "he fair - ’ and print his letter. Is his criticism of me and The Sun, without establishing his identity, being fair? I would like to add that there is nothing in the let ter to which I object, other than the fact that it w r asn’t signed. I believe that I have a right to my opinion, and I certainly feel that other people have the same right. This would be a sorry world if everyone were in agreement about everything so that they could he led about by the nose like a hunch of cattle. There is no one wTio be lieves more than I do in freedom of belief and expression. 1 w r ould give others the same right, pro- added they are whiling to be recog nized. FOOTBALL AGENDA Last w r eek was a bad one for Newberry teams on the gridiron. The high school suffered defeat at the hands of Union, and while the Indians perked up in the sec ond half against Lenoir-Rhyne to bring the half-time score of 35-6 to 35 to 25, the game wasn’t long enough to get those two extra needed touchdowns' so for the first time this season, the Red skins went down in defeat. The Indians got off to a fast start, making a touchdowm wdthin the first few minutes of the kickoff but then slowed down both offen sively and defensively. I have «een it happen so many times tfdth those Redskins: they invariably play better in the second half than in the first. I realize that Coaches Kirkland and Burnette have the ability to analyze the plays of the opposing teams during the first half, but what I can’t understand is how they can give the team so much information during that 15 minutes as to make them play a completely different game after the brief respite. Well, I have admitted that 1 know little about football and that is still one of the mysteries. But the spectators who paid $10 for a seat in the steel stadium got their money’s worth during the second half, even if the Tribe did -come out on the losing end. Another hard battle is coming -up at Setzler Field Saturday night' -when the Wofford Terriers w r ill be trying to upset Newberry again. The Newberry High Bulldogs will be on the road this week. They will meet the Laurens High school team at Laurens, Friday night at 8:00. Plan to see both games. $5700 FOR STANDS The Shrine Club ticket sale to last week’s football game brought it about $5700 to help pay for the new steel stadium at the col- Jege, according to John Clarkson.

The percentage of garbage cans which met the city ordinance is only 50 per cent. The city has a collection of gar bage in the business section once a day in late afternoon or night. Collections are made in the resi dential section twice a week from 7:30 a. m. until 4 p. m. unless there are heavy rains or storms. In such instances the trucks have to be used for street cleaning, so the public is asked to make the necessary corrections to make Newberry a cleaner and more pleasant city in which to live. The city will not accept cans without lids or cans larger than 30 gallon capacity, because of the difficulty in one man picking up cans full of debris. Hawkins, district chairman, S. C.
