Mrs. Wightman Dies At Batesburg Home Mrs. Annie Hill Wightman, 75, died at her home in Batesburg Monday after several years of de clining health. Mrs. Wightman was born at Carlisle where she lived throughout her girlhood. She was married to George W. Wightman, a brother of the late Frank Wightman of Newberry. Her husband was a member of the state legislature from Lexington County and she was a member of St. John’s Methodist Church.

City Native Dies In Greenville Mrs. Vinnie Mae Wilson Cely, wife of the late Thomas Lake Cely and resident of Greenville for many years, died at the home, 25 Jones Ave., at 9:45 p. m. Fri day.

The article was headed. “Adults, Too Like Variety.” In it Dr. Heisey discusses some occasional depart ures from the Augsburg Uniform Series used in most of the adult classes by the Lutheran Church today. Dr. Heisey said, “An oc casional departure from the Augs burg Uniform Series can stimu late pupil interest and provide an opportunity to deal with other important subjects.” Some of the suggestions offer ed by Dr. Heisey are: Many words which are used by the pastors and teachers such as incarnation, im mortality, agnostic, faith, prayer and revelation could be given special attention on one Sunday. One Sunday could be devoted to the Devotional Books which the Laymen occasionally hear about, but know little about. Some of them are Confessions by August ine; Imitation of Christ by Thom as A. Kempis, and Christian Lib erty by Luther. Modern books which stand out in the field of Christianity are Here I Stand by Bainton, Education for Christian Living by Miller and O Sing unto the Lord. The adult class offers the op portunity to acquaint the pupil with religious leaders both bibli cal as well as otherwise. Examples are, Paul, Augustin^, Luther, Muhlenberg, Schweitzer and Kag- awa. Although the Layman knows something about the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed, he knows little about the Athanasian Creed. World religions will make a very good topic. Many maga zines carry articles about the Non-Christian Religions of the World as Mohammedanism, Bud dhism, Hinduism, and Judaism. The interest of Social Problems should be stressed widely and two pamphlets issued by the Board of Social Religions, The Church Speaks on Labor and A State ment on Human Relations can be considered for this topic. Time for questions and discussions should be allowed at the end of these topics.

C. 24 HOUR SERVICE WHITAKER FUNERAL HOME AMBULANCE PHONE 270 New Indians Be Seen Next Year On Gridiron By JIM ANDERSON (Sports Editor, The Greenville News) Newberry College has received a big boost toward a successful football season next fall with the entrance of three transfer stu dents from Clemson College and one from Marquette. The new arrivals were Horace Turbeville, second string quarter back for the Tigers last year; Earl Catoe, a sophomore guard; and Roland Rosier, a freshman guard who left Clemson last fall. A 195-pound quarterback trans fer from Marquette University, six-foot Joe Coviello of Youngs town, O., was another surprise for the Indians as the second semester opened and spring foot ball practice was underway.. Head Coach Harvey Kirkland expressed delight at having the three former Tigers on his squad. He said he had conferred with Coach Frank Howard at Clemson and there was no rivalry or hard feeling over the change. Kirkland said he had Howard’s approval before the boys were enrolled here. Coviello was a quarterback Kirkland sought two years ago when he graduated from Niles High School at Youngstown. He was' sought by several colleges but chose Marquette. The Ohip back will attend the summer semester, as will Turbe ville, Catoe and Rosier, and if they get 24 hours of credit in the next two semesters they will be eligible to play next fall. “This will be the first time we ever had three big backs in our backfield,” Coach Kirkland said. “We’ll have Coviello weighing 195 at quarterback, Turbeville at over 180 at halfback, and Ray Waters from Westminster weighing over 200 pounds at fullback. Turbeville, who was No. 2 quar terback at Clemson last fall, was placed at halfback in today's workout here. He will be kept there, Kirkland said. Catoe, a 200-pounder from Ker shaw, was a guard candidate at Clemson but he will be switched to tackle with the Indians. Rosier is a 192-pound, 6-0 guard from Barnwell who played in the North- South game at Columbia last fall. Turbeville, who showed promise on the Tiger squad last season, commented that he made the change because he desired to complete >his education and could “do it better at Newberry. You can’t make a living playing foot ball,” were his words. The Camden back said he would major in physical education and hopes to be a coach. While at Clemson, Turbeville gained 129 yards in 32 rushing at tempts as he directed Clemson’s so-called second unit. Of 17 pass attempts, he completed 2. He scored 21 points and converted 2 out of 3 extra points. He also maintained a 33.1 punting aver age. Jasper Chapter The Jasper Chapter, D. A.

Led by the eight national winners of General Motors scholar ships for outstanding 4-H safety activities, the 36th National 4-H Congress has pledged to “Back the Attack on Traffic Accidents.” The national winners and 34 other state winners received all expense trips to the 4-H Congress in Chicago from General Motors, awards donor for the program for the 12th consecutive year. “Traffic accidents take nearly 42,000 lives each year—one every thirteen minutes,” the national winners told newsmen. Young People Most Deeply Affected Young -.people should be the most concerned about cutting this toll because it is our futures that are the most deeply affected.” Increased driver training, more courtesy on the highway and stricter observance of traffic laws were the safety experts’ sug gestions for top weapons in the fight against accidents. Typical of the group was Richard Mitchell of Denver, Colo, who is president of the Colorado Teenage Traffic Safety Association. He has staged a number of Teenage “Road-e-os” to test driving skill.
