PAGE TWO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1958 1218 College Street NEWBERRY. S. C. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY O. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937 at the Postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: $2.00 per year in ad vance; six months, $1.25. Open Forum In the Christmas parade Friday. I hereby asked to be excused by the people of the town and also Newberry County for I did not know what I was doing for I had been given some drugs. I have been in Newberry County since 1926 and have lots of good friends. I have always loved chil dren and I appreciated what the law did for me. Yours truly, (S) J. D. Butler 2107 Adelaide St. Dec. 8, 1958 We are living in a world today where the thoughts and ideas of mankind are being met head-on, with new ideas and new concept ions of life. At the turn of the century the world was large and seemly end less; the people in our part of the world knew very little about w’hat went on across the sea, and for the most part they were not con cerned about of other lands; they were dissatisfied with the world in which they lived. But today our world has been made smaller through, telephones, radios, televisions, airplanes, and •our present day means of trans portation to mention only a few; and for these reasons we are con cerned with what goes on across the great divide. We realize as never before that we are our bro thers keeper. The United Stats Government spends millions upon millions of dollars each year sending men and materials around the world to protect the weaker Allied Nations against the powerful enemy, whe ther withirf or without. The things we looked upon yes terday as being impossible are to day possible; they are not only possible, but they have been made a reality. We are now in the midst of The Christmas season, a time when all people should lay aside their nar rowness, selfishness, and ungodli ness and remember the words of the angel who said “Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people.” For the first time as a citizen of Newberry I had the feeling that the Christmas Spirit had found its way into our city at last; and as I watched the Christmas parade march down Main Street with the beautiful floats, automo biles, and the marching bands be decked in their colorful uniforms, the Spirit of Christmas was felt by all who looked on, and when The Gallman High Band began to play, our thoughts ran back to the words of the angel who said “I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” Not just white people, not just yellow people, not just black people, but to all people. k We are living in a Christian world, where we use the same Bible to get OUr guidance and in spiration. We believe in the same God that is high and over all, and each day we live, we are coming closer and closer to the full mean ing of Christ coming on earth. He came that “We might have life, and have it more abundant ly.” Let us march on, Newberry, with the banner of Jesus waving high, saying “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” Yes! let us make room for Christmas in our hearts. We would like to take this time to thank our City Fathers, the members of the parade committee responsible for The parade and others of whom we know not, for making it possible for The Gallman High School and Band to take part in the Christmas parade.
