What, schools is no longer feasible and “Teacher Of The Year" Is Mrs. H. B. Wilson Of NHS Mrs. Marion Jones Wilson (Mrs, H. B.) has been selected as Teach er of the Year in Newberry Coun ty. Her name was presented in nomination to the Woman’s Club by several parents of pupils of Mrs. Wilson: Mr. and Mrs. John T. Norris, Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Truett, Mr. and Mi’s. A. G. Mc- Caughrin, Dr. and Mrs. E. M. An derson. In their letter of nomina tion they expressed appreciation of “her kindly understanding of students” and “her sound scholar ship” and “her Christian charac ter and moral leadership.” 1 velve teachers at the High Schocl who have worked with Mrs. Wilson for ten years as stqdents or fellow teachers sent in an en dorsement of the nomination, stating that ‘she has indeed been a living example of what a dedi cated teacher should be.” They particularly commended “her broad knowledge in the many sub jects offered in our curriculum.” Supt. J. V. Kneece, in a letter of recommendation, stressed the fact $2.00 PER YEAR iwanians Are .bratmg Council President Is To Be m dated her ability to give a stu dent a sound intellectual, founda tion, and various club representa tives. Mrs. Wilson is an A.*B. graduate of Converse College, and has re ceived graduate credits from Co lumbia University in New York in French, from the University of Wisconsin in Physics, from the University of South Carolina in Chemistry, and also took a two year secretarial course at New berry College. At present she is receiving private instruction by a native Frenchman in the use of the French language. The name of Mrs. Wilson will be sent to the District Awards Committee of the State Federation of Women’s Clubs, and on to the State Committee if she is winner of the district. A, challenging new citizenship program has been launched in Newberry by the local Kiwanis fub, according to an announce- Jment by T. B. Amis and A. W. Hun ray, co-chairman for the lo ll' dub. Called the “CQ” pro- , .-’em, it is aimed at challenging | the individual citizen to appraise this personal CQ (citizenship quo- tient) and to determine if his ac ceptance of citizenship responai- biHty is in keeping with the prob lem* before him and his commun ity: It is hoped, said the chairman, if a citizen finds himself defi cient, he will set about improving his CQ and thus his community or his nation.. The CQ program was developed originally by Kiwanis Internation al. Tt is currently being undertak en ' throughout the United Stn and Canada under the auspices of Kiwanis Clubs working singly or in concert with other groups and citizens* committees. This program is being introduc ed Newberry in connection with the < 45th anniversary of Kiwanis International, which is celebrating with “Kiwanis Anniversary Week,” emphasizing the theme “Freedom Is Up To You.” Discus-, rp, „ j * ^ .

Then, of course, comes the plug for the Murray-Metcalf bill, which would provide 4.4 billion dollars in the next four years to schools of the United States. I have mentioned often how much a dollar is depreciated when it goes to Washington and comes back in the form of federal aid. The NEA harps on the fact that this bill will strengthen state and local control of education; it doesn’t mention the part the bu reaucrats will play in the scheme. But there is ample proof that the bureaucrats will be there running your school system.

After I realized last week that the governor of South Carolina had mislead the public into think ing he was really advocating a 10% increase for teachers of South Carolina, I was about ready to switch my views and start ad vocating federal aid to education ■ myself. I cannot do that, however, regardless of what I think of the governor and what I will think of our local and state legislators if J they do not do something substan tial for the teachers this year. The governor was including in that 10% increase the normal increase teachers have been provided each year, by virtue of having had an other year of experience in the teaching profession. The real in crease he recommended was only about six percent. Chances are that my husband’s income would be about doubled should the Murray-Metcalf bill be passed; hut I prefer to struggle along on what the state and coun ties stingily dole out rather than to see our country thrown further] on the road to socialism than it ly is.

(Continued on Page 2) to the society of which he ( is a Tgk part. This involves within the home a respect for each mem ber’s place and each member’s personality, whatever his *age or needs or abilities. Only as each person grows in respect for each member of his own family is he being prepared to respect each member of every other family. It is out of this respect for persons as persons that there is developed freedom of opportun ity. But such freedom carries s e 1 f-imposed limitations. The right of each person in a family is conditioned by the rights of all persons in the family as a unit. In a sense, the right of each person ends where the right of another begins. So each per son in a home does not have the right to do as he pleases. He has only the choice of relating himself to others in a working arrangement that preserves the rights of all, or else a choice of abusing his rights and theirs, too. Freedom requires discipline and self-control, and this must be taught and practiced in the homes if ever we are to find it voluntarily practiced outside the homes. v -’ Freedom is always .requiring that individuals, as well as Rev.
