By The Way - By DORIS A. SANDERS TIME IS CLOSE # I’m Act going into a Iftng dis- sertation today on Federal Aid to Education, but I would remind you that this measure has pass ed the Senate and will very short ly come to a vote in the House. If you are as conceriied about this menace as I am, I hope you will wire or write Congressman Bryan Dorn NOW to cdntkiue his fight against passage of this bill. HOW LOWDOWN? How lowdown can a person get ? I thought it was bad enough whe% I heard sometime ago that flowers had been stolen from the planter outside Newberry Federal building.. Now Miss Juanita Hitt tells the thftt beautiful geraniums have been stolen from her fath er’s grave at Rosemont Cemetery. Police have been notified and will be on the lookout, but Miss Juaaita is going one step further and will offer a reward to any one .who can furnish identity as to the person who, would be so .mean as to steal flpwers from a ceme tery. If you have any clues, get Ip touch with the police or with Miss Hitt. OWNERS ON LEASH One of my readers sends me an interesting article from an At lanta newspaper concerning ef forts to control dogs in DeKalb County, Ga. This article will be printed in its. entirety next week and maybe it will give Council some ideas—about putting dog owners, who do not control their dogs—“on a leash.” DORN SPEAKS Congressman Bryan Dorn re cently. made an address at the re dedication of the • Confederate Monument at Prince and Wash ington Streets in Alexandria, Vir- ginia. The entire speech is of in teres^ but space will not allow its and understanding while ^e face publication. The following para graphs,*! feel, are of vital import ance and worthy of your time and Interest; “Just as bn May 24, 1861, our nation today l^pces a great crisis. We are threatened as never be fore iA our history since the time of Valley forge. We are a united people today, but we face a ruth less, determined and united ene my. These enemies like Genghis Xhan of old are sweeping without conscience* out of the Eurasian continent aiming a death bl<*y at our freedoms. This bloody enemy has gained at every turn. By open conquest, by • subversion, find by infiltration hp marches on to vic tory after victory. This eijemy has won at overy Summit- Conference meeting. He enters a conference with a deliberate, calculated inten tion to lie and deceive. This athe ist enemy has made fantastic and •unbelievable gains in Asia, the Middle East, the Near East, Cen tral fyirope, Cuba, and Latin Am erica. The iJnited States is liter ally under the Communist gun to day. Our only foreign poligy hns been the spending of money, ap peasement, compromise, and re treat. We are today in a position where we can retreat no further without surrendering our sover eignty and liquidating the hard- wo% freedoms of our people. We can no longer trust the Amencan dollar • to purchase and preserve our American freedom. We can no longer depend on Summit Confer ences, broken promises, and com promise or principle. We must as a nation now face reality. We should declare a national emer gency, mobilize our total resources, and assume the offensive. The threat of Communist aggression iri* Cuba can no longer be tolerated. This threat must be eliminated 4>y the Armed Forces of the United States if 'necessary. The hour is • late, the situation critical. We. ihust enforce* the Mbnroe Doctrine now or we will lose all of South and Central America: With the loss of South and Central Ameri ca, the Communist Pincer move ment aimed at the heart of the * United States will, be complete.* “Already t) Communist missiles and bombers are poised in Siberia ready to strike over the North Pole.- With our Southern flank ex posed and under Comiymisl domi nation, we could no longer main tain out position as a world pow er. Our government must take the lead in fanning the fires of’pa triotism. We must rekindle the spirit of liberty. The valor and patriotitm displayed by both sides .in the 186d’s are needed in the 1960’s. Our freedom depends on the^inited effort of every Ameri can citizen. It will take courage, self-sacrifice, loyalty, and devo tion to duty. “Around this Monument which stands between the North and the South, we might direct our atten tion to the great domestic prob lems which threaten to divide our nation as we face the common en emy. We caanot defeat Commun ism and totalitariansm by atjopt- ing totalitarianism. In the name of fighting Communism, the Fed eral government is using some of its techniques and some of its ar bitrary, blatant powers. Our na tion today is still a union of states, a union of commuftities, a union of local governments, and a union of individuals—each state and in dividual maintaining independent characteristics while bearing alle giance and loyalty to the whole. If we are to survive as a nation, the Federal Government today must respect individual rights, states’ rights, and long establish ed community customs and tradi tions. “The South today is tolerant. The South of today is making fan tastic progress in the field of equal rights and htiman* under standing. The South is not making any effort to impose its tradi tions and 'customs and local sta tutes on other sections of the Un ited States. The South is sponsor ing no invasion of other areas of our land. The South respects the right of every community to gov ern at the local level. The grand sons and granddaughters of the men who wore tjie blue and grey in the 1860’s are not engaged in agitation and destruction of our Country today. Their love for this nation, its Constitution, our indi vidual privileges, and obligations were cemented in that fiery cru cible a hundred years ago. This is the time for tolerance, unity, love, College Finals Be At Setzler Field REV. DR. WOOD Citizens May Contribute To Peterson Fund the greatest danger in the history of western civilization. Those, who would invade the privacy of our time-honored, sacred institutions and travel many miles to disobey local and state laws are aiding the enemies of our great Country The agitators who * leave their local duties to embark on a program of nationwide unrest and discord are compounding our problems during Jthese critical days. Those who seek to make the United States conform to one pattern of pseu do-liberal facism are paving the way for a dictatorship and totali- tarianfcsm. Our Republic is a young Republic. It is still on trial fjefone the eyes of the A^orld. We must not turn our destiny over to the bigots, agitators, and pressure groups for all Americans—East, South, North, and West—to place the welfa’re of our Country ahead of personal consideration. Now is the time for all organizations, •races,’ and creeds to rededicate themselves first to the preserva tion of otar nation. Individual free dom, ':ree local government, and tb« rights of our states can sur vive in the space age through a rededication of our allegiance to the faith of the founding fathers.” REV. DR.

A hospital bed and ' a wheel chair have been his exist ence since the fall of 1966. There are few in Newberry who do not recognize the name of Steve Pet- ersofi, but for the benefit of per haps a few ■ewcomers, Steve was an outstanding player on the NeWberry College football team— he showed bright premise for the future until that night when, dur ing a’ football game, something went wrong and when the dust had settled, Steve was lying flat on his back, a position he was to be forced to keep for many ‘months. Steve is paralyzed and medical * n Columbia, science knows ■no way to cure him. About the only bright spot in his life is the fact that New- berrians have not forgotten him; in the years that have passed since ,1956, they have remembered him with thoughts and. letters, with special tributes —- but also with monetary contributions to help him and his parents as they strive to make Steve's life more pleasant. • , One year, local citizens opened their hearts and pocketbooks and brought Steve and his family to Newberry for a special “Steve Peterson Day.” Last year, citizens again contributed and their gifts were taken to Steve by Coach Harvey Kirkland, who was at a loss for words to describe Steve’s happiness at being remembered by the community. Coach Kirfland is going to see Steve again soon. He believes that the citizens of Newberry will again let the young man, crippled because he sought to bring pleas ure to football fans, know that he is still remembered. Coach Kirk land emphasizes that the fund is entirely voluntary, and wants do nations only from.<those who wish to give.
