Heisey Article
In Publication
The February issue of the Par
ish School Magazine published
under the auspices of the Board
of Parish Education of the Unit
ed Lutheran Church in America
in Uhiladelphia, Pennsylvania,
carried an article by Dr. Paul
Heisey, Professor of -Bible and
Religion in Newberry College. 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.

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.

4-H Vows to Slay Highway Dragon
More than two million 4-H members are waging an all-out attack
on the fire breathing dragon of traffic fatalities which menaces
the safety and happiness of American motorists.
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.
