JP 1
Candidate Outlines Platform
Believing that the people of Newberry have a right
to know how I stand on certain issues, I offer for re-
election as your Mayor on the following platform:
7. / favor the City Manager form of government.
Having served for twelve jears under the City Manager
form of government and two years prior to having a City Man
ager, I feel that I am qualified to know and understand what
this form of management has meant to the City of Newberry
and I believe that the best interests of the City of Newberry
can be served with a City Manager.
2. I shall continue to seek new industry for Newberry
During my tenure of office, it has been my pleasure to work
hand in hand with various groups and organizations in the
State, County and City in seeking to obtain the new industry
which we ^o direly need and 1 believe that I am best qualified
to continue in this capacity in attempting to sell our City to
industry.
3. I shall continue to work for expansion and im
provement of our recreation program
It is my belief that we need to continue to expand our grow
ing recreation program so that our City can provide more and
better recreational facilities for all ot its citizens.
4. I favor a planned beautification program for our
City.

to work with a Committee from the Civic League and other
interested organizations to plan a constructive and lasting pro
gram for the beautification of our City.
5. / stand for the preservation of the City's land
marks.
As a native Newberrian, I believe that we should not destroy
our landmarks of historical interest and value and believe that
everything possible should be done to preserve these landmarks.
6. I favor zoning ordinances and a properly planned
City looking to the future.
If re-elected, I will work closely with the newly-appointed
City Planning Commission to see that the future of our City
is planned for and that we have complete and adequate zoning
ordinances at the earliest possible date.
7. / stand for an up-to-date Civil Defense Program
It is my desire to see our City build and develop a civil de
fense Program w'hich is second to none in the State or Country
and one which will meet the needs of our community during
these trying times.
8. I shall continue to see that e^ery citizen gets value
received for every tax dollar expended.
It is my desire to continue to work for the best -.nterests of
all the people in the City of Newberry and to see that their
tax dollar is spent in the wisest manner possible and that they
receive full value for their tax dollar.
9. I stand for fair wages and employment condi
tions for Ci+'j employees.
It is my desire to continue to see that our City employees
have fair working conditions and are paid adequate salaries for
the services which they render to our City.

FROM
OTHER
EDITORS
From the South Pasadena Re
view, South Pasadena, Calif.:
Every time you see a railroad car
transporting automobiles in the
newly developed “piggyback car”
you know that it has taken three
of those mammoth car-transports
off the highways.
It is interesting to note that in
the current Teamsters Magazine
they have an a»-ticle which con
tends that these railway piggy
back cars are taking away their
jobs. Seems unfair that the rail
roads should come up with a
carrier that competes with the
low-tax-paying trucks, from the
truckers point of view.
From the passenger car driver’s
point of view it is a wonderful
thing to get these haulers off the
transcontinental highways. They
are as wide and as long as the
legal limit permits.
Other than being a benefit to
the motoring public it is nice to
see the railroads gaining back
some of their former business.
Remember when ALL cars were
transported via railroad? When
the new cars came to the dealer
all the men in town would go down
to help the garage people unload
so that they could see the new
cars.
Piggyback of semi-truck trailers
is at present about 2 percent of
the total amount of freight hauled.
It is hoped by the motoring nublic
that this percentage grows 25%
or 50% of the total freight hauled.
There is no need for these big
trucks to follow the line of. the
railroad all across the nation
when the cars or semi-trailers
could have gotten there safer,
easier and cheaper with less dan
ger to the motori'ig public and
less wear and tear on the high
ways.
The designer of the piggyback
railroad cars for automobile
should get a vote of thanks, espe
cially from the tax paying public

AMERICANA Places to See
Quincy, Illinois
On the picturesque east bluff overlooking the Mississippi, where
the river swings farthest to the west, stands the city of Quincy, Illinois.
Here iii 1673, Marquette and Joliet, on their trip of exploration,
stopped at the Sac and Fox village, and here traders came from
St. Louis to barter for furs.
In 1821, John Wood, a native of
New York, came to this vicinity
to investigate the claim of a friend
who had been granted a land
bounty in the Military Tract, a
large tract of land in Western
Illinois set aside by act of Con
gress for bounties for soldiers
from the War of 1812. Wood be
came Quincy’s first permanent
white settler and here he met Wil
lard Keyes, a Vermonter. Other
settlers came and the site became
known as Bluffs because of its
location.
Today, Quincy is a city of 41,450
population, the county seat and
largest city in an area of 100 miles
in all directions. It is a center for
many specialized professional
services in the fields of account
ing, architecture, engineering,
law, medicine and surgery.
Agricultural crops produced in
Adams County include corn, soy
beans, oats, wheat, hay, cattle,
hogs, poultry and dairy products.
Quincy’s labor force of 22,500 in
cludes 9,500 in manufacturing and
8,750 in non-manufacturing.
Washington Park in the center
of the downtown business district
dates from the original planning of
the city. On the west side is the
statue of John Wood, first settler
and twelfth governor of Illinois.
On the east side is a plaque com
memorating the sixth of the de
bates between Lincoln and Doug
las, on October 13, 1858.
The Historical Building, once
John Wood’s home, now houses an
interesting collection of articles
and materials pertaining to local
history. The Moorish Villa Kathe
rine, another point of interest, was
built early in the century as the
dream castle of a young engaged
couple, the style commemorating
their romance on the sunny shores
of the Mediterranean. The death
Of the bride-to-be ruined the
dream, and after many vicissi
tudes the Castle, as it is known,
became the property of the Quincy
Park District, now serving the
neighborhood as a community
house.
Rev. Robert H. Harper
THE OLYMPIAD
T HE apostle Paul was one of
the learned men of the an
cient world. He was doubtless a
graduate of the University of
Tarsus, his native city. He had
sat at the feet of Gamaliel, a
famous rabbi of Jerusalem. He
demonstrated on Mars Hill in
Athens that he was familiar with
Greek literature, and in a num
ber of missionary journeys he
traveled widely through the Ro
man Erroire.
JUST A THOUGHT:
There is nothing disgrace
ful about defeat. We can not
always win as we travel the
road of life. Regardless how
proficient we may become in
some sport or some endeavor,
sooner or later we must meet
someone who is just a little bit
better. W T hen we learn to
“lose” as graciously as we
“win,” defeat is not half so
half bitter as it might be.
It is interesting, though ^not
surprising, to learn that he was
familiar with the Olympic games.
We do not know that he ever at
tended the games, but we do
know that he was familiar with
the training of the contestants
and circumstances connected
with the games.
And he drew from things con
nected with the games an illus
tration of the Christian life. Only
he exhorted his readers to run
the race that, war set before to
gain more than a crown of
laurel, then which no greater
prize could be won by a Greek
in the Olympic games. Chris
tians were to run the race set
before them, looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of their
faith. So let us run today, keep
ing our eyes ever upon the Lord.

I F SOME rrr KING isn’t done soon
about canned laughter on these
situation comedy shows it’s going
to drive everyone back to the
quiet westerns and murders! It’s
difficult to see the logic behind
sponsors’ decisions . . . How come
the public is intelligent enough to
enjoy a serious drama but not
intelligent enough to laugh at a
situation unless they are led into
it by what amounts to sounds ef
fects for all intent and purpose?
Everything causes the engineers
to set off the laughter . .’. Father
says, “1 lost my slipper” and the
audience gets hysterical . . . Jun
ior says “Pass me the butter”
and it’s a better comedy line than
anything Bob Hope has to offer
. . . Mother says, “Oh, Johnny,
wait tili your father comes home”
and they’re rolling in the aisles
. . . How ridiculous can they get?
That’s easy; pretty rediculous!
CAPITOL: Capitol, through the
magic baton of Michael Collins,
has brought hack the waltz in all
its glory in an album entitled
“Waltzing Through the Years”
. . . All instrumental, you’ll hear
such dream stuff as “Emperor
Waltz,” “Wonderful One,” “Mer
ry Widow Waltz,” “Skaters’
Waltz,” “Lover,” “Always” and
“Now Is the Hour”. . . Rock 'n
roll will never beat this!
All the warmth and charm of
the Voices of Walter Schumann
are revealed in a beautiful new
album of lyrical music . . .
“Dream,” “I’m Always Chasing
Rainbows,” “Fools Rush In,”
“Summertime,” “Moonglow,”
“April in Paris,” and other great
favorites, tastefully done.

What Do Children Owe To Retired Parents?
VITHAT are the obligations of
W adult children to their re
tired parents?
This question arises out of a
recent Golden Years column
which laid out the obligations of
retired parents to their children.
Readers have suggested that the
problem may have two sides.
Here are the things which
children who have flown from the
nest owe to the mama and papa
bird who pushed them from it.
(1) Men who come up to retire
ment age—and they frequently
transmit their emotions to mother
—nearly always feel unloved and
unwanted. No matter how im
portant they have been on their
jobs they see their influence and
status fading away. And in addi
tion they usually find themselves
heavily burdened • with the idea
now abroad in the land that a
65-year-old man just doesn’t mat
ter anymore.
Children of such a man owe it
to their father and mother to step
in and give what spiritual vita
mins they can. They must under
stand that people by age 65 are
able to shield their emotions, to
smile and joke about their great
freedom that is coming, and to
cover up remarkably well. .Chil
dren should drop over once in a
while and tell mom and pop how
wonderful they are.
(2) Adult children owe their
retirement-age parents the secu
rity of food and shelter and medi
cation for their pains—if they
need it. Argue this as long as you
choose, but children who are
brought to maturity and launched
into a decent life by their mother
and father simply cannot repay
them. No matter what, they can
not repay them.
Food and shelter are fundamen
tal. Freedom from worry over
whether or not you will have them
at 65 is also fundamental. People
at 65 can shield their wants as ef
fectively as they shield their
emotions. Children should pry
enough to make SURF their
parents have their basic needs.
(3) Adult children owe their re
tirement-age parents the right to
be wrong. The freedom of retire
ment, while not always desired,
is sometimes an intoxicant to both
men and their wives. They want
to build a house, or start a busi
ness, or take a boat to Italy. There
is not too much time left for
making mistakes. Forget what it
may cost YOU in the end and let
pop pull a whopper if he wants to.
(4) Adult children are obligated
not to turn their retired pare’ s
into free servants and bab} t-
ters. Retired parents weren l
made for this, and though almost
all of them would welcome a bit
of it, they don’t relish the on and
on and on of it that they get. They
seldom complain and won’t refuse
—aren’t grandma and grandpa
supposed to do these things?
(5) Adult children owe their
retired parents a little time cf
the day. Not five or six hours, not
even every day, but a little from
time to time.
