BULLDOGS vs. UNION Union, S. C. Friday Night INDIANS vs. CATAWBA Saturday Night — 8:00 p.m. Setzler Field VOLUME 25; NUMBER 22. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, SEPT. 21, 1961 — ■-*' ' ' - + $2.00 PER YEAR The Way - By DORIS A. SANDERS KEEPS IT UP Senator Strom Thurmond is keeping up his fight against those in authority who are making ef forts to muzzle federal employees and military officers. He has brought to light cases involving not only military, but also civilian personnel who were told to stop lecturing or writing against com munism. It is outrageous that day need not worry. We will bury ourselves. ON FLYING THE FLAG — An irate citizen, who had just deliv ered students to two schools in our city system, telephoned this morning to report that no flags were flying from the flagpoles. While this may have been sim- day of school—on all days, for that matter—the flag ought to fly and the children ought to take the pledge of allegiance. How else can we hope to devel op patriotism, to instill in the hearts of our children the love of | liberty, to give them a sense of purpose and direction? . . . , , . , , . ply an oversight, it is a serious such things should be happemng mattel . Certainl on the 0 p ening in our government under the sor ry excuse that it might make ne gotiations with the Russians >ard- er. When are those bright boys in Washington going to realize that the only negotiations with Com munists will be on Communists terms ? I have had sent to me an article from a Statesville (N. ( .) news paper. It was published in a col umn called “Down In Iredell” and tells in a few well-chosen words what is happening to this country: Lessons in History—Back in the days of the Roman empire, old Marcas Cato ended every speech on the floor of the senate by pointing to Carthage and saying “Delenda est Cathago.” The modern equivalent of that is, “We will bury you.” Now, Carthage hadn’t done anything to - deserve this daily condemnation from Senator Cato. Its sin was that it was too pros perous, too advanced, too en lightened. In fact, it was these qualities that caused old Cato to return from a mission to the North African state a century and a half before Christ convinc ed that, for the safety of Rome, Carthage had to be destroyed. A decade later the Romans did bury the Carthaginians. Time passed and the Romans themselves became soft and flabby, demanding more and more of the state in terms of bread and circuses, and contributing less and less to the common cause. And up in the basin of the Vis tula, a semi-barbaric Gei manic people were being told by their leaders, that Rome had to go, as it eventually did before the on slaught of tie Goths. Today another Jea^^jr of a» ^ ti er emerging nation, less than half a century/put of ,&erfdotn, is ??y» ing western civilization must go*. And he is being backed in this by a newly re-barbarized nation whose leaders boast that the loss of 20,- 000,000 people would be a bless ing.

Mr. Mullen is a member of the Senior class at Newberry College and a native of Charleston. He will head a dele gation from the college which will act as the host delegation for the conference. Delegates from the lo cal campus are Mr. Mullen, David Laird, Jr., Newberry, Miss Cath erine Sally, Newberry, Miss Mar tha Pannell, Grenville; Miss Don na Puerifoy, Walterboro; and Miss Bonie Bovee, Aiken. This group will meet delegates from over 12 colleges throughout the state and entertain them at a re ception to be held Friday night at the Newberry Country Club. The conference will last 24 A battle of the Indians will be held on Setzler Field at 8:00 p.m. onO Saturday, September 23, as the Fighting Redskins of Newber ry College play host to the Cataw ba College Indians from Salisbury, n. e. The Redskins are fresh from a 123-0 victory over Frederick Col- : lege. However, it was a disap pointing victory, for although the Redskins gained almost at will, ith^y also made many fundamental xnistaices. During the past week j^oacli JHarvey Kirkland and his 4«k. have been working to see that these mistakes are “ironed otft.^ They have also been working to smooth out the rough spots in the backfield. It* is hoped that Jiimpy Lowder, who did not play Iasi week because of a leg injury will be back at his right halfback position, and that Maxie Knowl- ton’s and Bill Herndon’s leg in juries will not keep them from pdaying. If these boys can play, and if T^om Gorman can cannect with ends Freddie Haley and Ed gar Caddell like he did against Frederick, the Catawba Indians will be in for a rough night. Tackles Tommie Witt and Charles Haggard and Center Tra vis Rowell should be right for the Catawba game now thht they have gotten a good taste of battle, and from the looks of things they’ll have some pretty good sized oppo sition to move. Catawba lost to a strong David-/ son team by only six points lastl week, and they are hoping to av-j enge last year’s 46-7 loss to the Redskins. Saturday night’s game is shap ing up to be a real battle of the Indians.

Presentation of the flags was made at the opening of court Monday morning by Rep. Stave C. Griffith, who commended past delegations for providing a beautiful court room, and paid tribate to the patriotic organizations which presented the flag. Judge Julian B. Ness, presiding, commented that Newberry has the most beauti ful room in the circuit, and compares favorably with any he had seen in the state. Rep. Griffith and the Judge both paid tribute to Deputy‘Sheriff J. C. Neel, who had arranged~4o have a prisoner paint the entire court house with no cost to the county except for paint. Judge Ness also paid tribute to a number of outstanding citizens of the county. In the photo are, frem left are R. Aubrey Harley, rep resenting S.A.R.; Miss Hattie Belle Lester, Mrs. Jas. C.

(Sunphoto*) ter the Romans themselves. As individuals, we are demanding more and more of the government and then complaining of high taxes. We are demanding shorter and shorter work weeks and more and more wages and then com plaining of high prices. We are insisting on more and more recrea tion and leisure and then com plaining that nobody wants to work. • And as a government, we have made a summum bonum of more bread and bigger' circuses, and then complaih that the- people i are no longer willing to'sacrifice. We ! have replaced worth with welfar ism and are striving daily to re place individual excellehte with 1 egalitarianism. We have persisted in debunk ing the principles upon which this nation was founded and belittling old-fashioned patriotism and Am ericanism. We prevent our mili tary men from speaking out and while there can still be found an occasional Cato in our senate, the big concern is over how best to keep the American people in the dark. “In the long run,’ said the fam ous Fulbright memorandum which resulted in the muzzling of the military, “it is quite possible that the principal problem of leader ship will be, if it is not laready, to restrain the desire of the peo ple to hit the communists with everything we’ve got, particular ly if there are more Cubas and Laos . . . Fundamentally, it is believed that the American peo ple have little, if any, need to be alerted to the menace of the cold war.” If the principal problem of this government is to restrain the de sire of the people to hit the ene my with all we’ve got, then the issue of the cold war can hardly be in doubt. The danger is that the one-worlders who dominate our government may suceed in their efforts to tranquilize the people. In that case, the Visi goths and the Ostrogoths of to- Mr. and Mrs. John H.

The confer ence will begin and end in wor ship and prayer, and there will be a corporate communion service celebrated by the delegates at 7:30 a. m., Saturday morning at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Out- of-town delegates will be guests of the members of St. Luke’s Church while in Newberry Friday night. After Mr. Mullen has officially opened the meeting, Dr. A.G.D. Wiles, president of Newberry Col lege, will welcome the delegates to the local campus. Mr. Mullen will then introduce the guest speaker for the conference the Rev. Grant Noble. Mr. Notye is presently the Assistant Dean and Chaplain of Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Va. He is widely known for hi£ work among college students, s ‘having served for many years 1 as chaplain of Williams College, Willipraston,' Mass. He will speak on the sub ject “what should we as members of the Episcopal Church be doing while on the campus.” The work of this conference will be summarized into a writ ten resolution to be sent to the bishops of the two Episcopal dio ceses in South Carolina. With the approval of the two bishops, the resolution will then be distributed to all Episcopal college groups throughout the state. “Curriculum of the Program”, “Methods Mr. and Mrs. Olin Davenport have compiled what is perhaps a husband-wife record. Together, they have worked 92 years at the Oakland Plant of the Kendall Company. Mr. Davenport went to Oak land in 1912, when he was 14 years old. He has been supervisor of the weave room since 1927 and his total service amounted to 49 years when he retired last Friday. Mrs*. Davenport began work in 1917, at the age of 16.
