ROBERT H. HARPER DEBRA S EPTEMBER is usually the month when cyclones wreak destruction of property and causes loss of life. But this year, the dread season of cyclones be gan in July with the advent of Debra on the coast of Texas and far inland. After the raging storm had brought such disaster to Texas, some man in Houston criticized the Weather Bureau for sending out warnings of Debra too late for people to take any possible protective measures. The present writer has no de sire and intention to line up with the Houstonian or the Weather Bureau. But I am calling atten tion to another complaint from certain ladies who object to the use of feminine names to desig nate this'or that storm. It does not seem appropriate to give a name that has been asso ciated with love and kindness to a dread storm that destroys prop erty and kills helpless men, worn en, and children. Let us cease from giving revered names to ravaging tempests. Honey-Pecan Biscuits Here's a breakfast with go-power! Tomato fulce, eggs and bacon, and tempting Honey-Pecan Biscuits. They add up to nutrition guaranteed to keep you going all morning long. You would never think of starting a long auto trip without filling the gas tank. Yet, in effect, that's what many people do, when they set off for work in the morning without eating breakfast. To work all morning long at reasonable efficiency, you need a reserve of energy, energy that comes from eating breakfast. Fruit or juice, cereal, eggs or meat, bread, and beverage prove adequate for most people. Hot bread always makes breakfast more tempting. Here's a recipe for easy-to-mix Honey-Pecan Biscuits. Self-rising flour, with baking powder and salt already included, is a big time-saver in this recipe. Try it once, and you will always use self-rising flour for making those hot breads your family dotes on. Enriched with three B-vitamins and food iron, it also gives a nutrition dividend.

The Rev. Wyatt Garrett of Taylor, former pastor, will bring the message. The Beech Branch Baptist Church could well be called the little church in the wildwood, placed in a beautiful set ting of tall moss covered trees and antique features. An other unique feature is that the large kerosene light fix tures hung from the high ceiling are still being used. Dur ing the Civil War, Sherman’s troopers knocked the door of the church in, and cracked the door. The cracked door is still there. The soldiers also camped at the church on Sher man’s march to the sea. Later the church raised money to send Bibles, Testaments and other materials to the war front. During the Revolutionary War the people carried their guns as well as their Bibles to church, to protect themselves from the Yemassee Indians. On September 12, 1759, 19 persons constituted Coosa- whatchie Baptist Church, led by the Rev. Oliver Hart and the Rev. Frances Pelot. In 1796, James Smart Jr., son of the first pastor of the church, obtained a grant of 71 acres on Beech Branch waters of Coosawhatchie, evidently granting seven acres im mediately to the church and later willing the remainder for the church’s use. In 1802, Savannah Association, later called the Savannah River Association, was formed with some of the churches coming out of the Charleston Association, which were the Coosawhatchie, Black Swamp, Pipe Creek, Bethesda, and Lower Three Runs Baptist Church. The church had been in its present location since 1815. The name of the church was changed from Coosawhatchie Baptist Church to Beech Branch Baptist Church in 1823, at whiich time the church documents were revised. The last recorded conference for colored members was on February 10, 1884, and then in 1890 to 1900 the last colored members were dismissed to join colored churches.” For the sake of keeping the record straight, I remind those gallant figures who gloriate, glorify and magnify Beech Island that this house of worship is not on Beech Island, but on Beech Branch, at least two days distant by horse back. The imperative need ®f our Nation is a man of common- sense, a strong, vigorous personality, a man who can say “NO!”; a man who can resist pressure; a man who is not trying to curry favor or build a Party or develop a follow ing. We must abandon the idea that the Government is the source of all help, the unfailfng and bottomless refuge in all moments of need. As matters stand we are all in strong and persistant com petition to draw on the National Treasury. If we had a man of the stature of George Washington he would be as ready with a veto as President Eisenhower and more ready to avoid special spending. For example, there is surely no immediate urgency for the transcontinen tal highways. The taxes already collectible were entirely adequate—and more than adequate. The additional one cent a gallon is only another bit of oppressive prodigality. But it seems really out of place and time to condemn or disaprage any expenditure while this Nation continues to throw away billions of dollars throughout the world. I deplore the unresisting attitude of the Congress. Not one dollar should be appropriated for these so-called cases of utter futility, but the Congress should require that all un expended balances be held subject to new control by the Congress. How any intelligent man can justify our throwing away money while imposing new taxes and retaining special war- emergency taxes I cannot see. The very first and only obligation of our Congress is to deal fairly and equitably with our own people. The money being doled out or poured out to other countries is money paid by American taxpayers to operate our owm Govern- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1959 Strom September 28. Our Nation’s Capital City Washington, D. C., is truly a unique city. It is the capital city of the world’s most progressive and prosperous country.. Lt is a federal city run by a Board of Commissioners ap pointed by the President to administer the laws for the citjr as passed by the Congress. In past years, the capital citjr * has been peaceful and a wonderful showplace for tourists— its millions of annual foreign and domestic tourists. ‘To The Dogs’ Lately, however—since the District of Columbia has be come the integration “pilot model” for the South to follow— it has been, so to speak, “going to the dogs.” Such crimes a# murder, forcible rape, mayhem, aggravated assault, mug gings, etc. have been increasing so alarmingly that most residents—especially the women—are fearful of walking the streets at night and some streets even during daylight hours. The hoodlums have carried on their attacks not just against ordinary citizens but even against Metropolitan Po lice Force. There has been a 30 per cent increase in asaults on police this year over last year, 26 in July alone. As one woman who had been attacked recently remarked, “The po lice used to travel in twos. I think maybe they should go ia threes or fours now. \ Newsweek magazine says the capital city is beginning to look more and more “like a crime-infested morass in a mias ma of brutality.” In the first six months of the year, the crime rate rocketed 15.3 per cent and juvenile crime, over a 12-month period, had increased by 25 per cent, compared with a national average of 6.5. Now that a Negro congress man, a Congressman’s wife, and the widow of the late De puty Defense Secretary Donald Quarles, have all been threatened or attacked in recent weeks, action is being ta ken to try to cope with the Washington crime wave. The Congress is augmenting the 2500-man police force by 500 men at an additional cost of $2.5 million. Some have proposed the employment of police dogs as are used in neighboring’ Baltimore, and one Congressman has urged the deploy ment of two companies of the U. S. Marines to assist in the cleanup. Reason For The Mess The principal reason cited by Newsweek magazine for the Washington difficulties was the influx of Negroes and the exodus of whites to the suburbs. The magazine pays* Negroes now constitute 54 per cent of the population. Ne gro students comprise approximately 73 per cent of the school population in the District’s “pilot model” system.. A 1957 Congresional investigation of the public school sys tem in Washington revealed that forced integration wae the principal cause of the mamoth problems which have come to light in the school system. One of the many find ings on integration by the investigators said: “The forced integration of the schools in the District d? Columbia greatly accelerated an. exodus of the white resi dents to the suburban areas of Maryland and Virginia. The present exodus seriously threatens to the educational, econ omic, cultural, religious, and social foundation of the Dis trict. If the exodus continues at its present rate, the Dis trict will become a predominantly Negro community in the not too distant future.” Washington is not alone in its integration follies, failures^ and crime consepuences. An even larger mess can be found to the north of the capital city in the New York City melt ing pot. Washington, however, was supposed to be the “pi lot model,” and it has made the case for segregation against forced integration even stronger than our lengthy and well- documented legal arguments. ment. There is no law or just excuse for trying to uplift every other nation. We pay taxes to maintain an efficient Government in this Country and to provide for the common defense. All the childish outpouring should stop at once. Football HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Newberry vs. Laurens—7:45 p.m. Friday NEWBERRY COLLEGE vs. LENOIR RHYNE—Air Time 7:45 p.m. Saturday CLEMSON vs. GA.
