Septen.ber 24 in which the writer
advises that he •' !: * 1

■ y savin p he wonders if

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it will still not be published ur- 1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.

serve
following pastors, who
Lutheran churches in the
Newberry Conference, are this
week serving as missioners in the
Evangelism Mission of the Co
lumbia and Central Area of the
S. C. Lutheran Synod. The Rev. M.
T. Cullum of Pomaria is to serve
Mt. Pleasant Church, Saluda; the
Rev. J. L. Drafts of Pomaria at
Zion, Lexington; the Rev. 0. L.
Richardson of Newberry, Grace,
Gilbert; the Rev. D. M. Shull, Sr.,
of Newberry, St. James, Sumter;
and the Rev. T. H. Weeks of New
berry, Mt. Hermon, West Colum
bia. The mission began with a
briefing session on September 29
and will conclude with the Mis
sion to Pastors on October 5.
The Missioners are to deliver
seven sermons, instruct lay visi-
tors, auxiliary leaders and pre-
pare groups for year-round evan
gelism. A similar Evangelism Mis
sion is scheduled for the
Lutheran Churches of the New
berry Area in late October of
1957. Great results are being rea
lized from the prayers and efforts
of these programs throughout the
United Lutheran Church in Am
erica.
Car Dealers Get
Advance Look At
Dodge, Plymouth
Dodge and Plymouth dealers,
and representatives of the press
from Newberry had an advance
look at the new 1957 Dodges and
Plymouths at a private showing
in Charlotte, N. C. Monday of this
week.
Those attending from Newberry
were J. W. (Bill) Smith and Mrs.
Smith; Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Smith,
B. P. Ringer, C. A. Mills, Jr., J.
O. Wessinger and James Goethe
from Smith Motor Company.
Mr. Smith announced that the
new cars will be on display in
Newberry on October 30. He des
cribed the “Swept-Wing ’57 Dodge
from the wonderful world of Au
todynamics” in this manner: “It
unleashes a hurricane of power;
it tames a tornado of torque; it
breaks through the vibration bar
rier!”
Of the 1957 Plymouth, Mr.
Smith explains that it is so far
advanced that it’s “1^60-new”
with years-ahead features such as
Toision-Aire ride, flight sweep
styling, total contact brakes and a
Fury "301” V-8 engine. Plymouth,
says the dealer, is the only car
that dares to break the time bar
rier. "When you step into .the
new Plymouth,” he stated, “sud
denly, it’s 1960!”

Public Is Asked
Keep City Clean
There has been a survey made
on garbage cans in the business
section of Newberry and the resi
dential section. 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.
