Many Baptists will recognize it as a point of his toric interest because it was the Hills Church which gave Baptists the man who greatly influenced that denomination and was a lead er of state Baptists for 54 years, Dr. Richard Furman.

QUOTES “We have heard that some min isters, speaking of the mount.ng tensions on the international scene, are taking it upon themselves to advocate the cessation of all nuc lear testing, total disarmament and even surrender to Russia should war come. In our opinion, such talk is either muddle-headed think- onnection. Our little Connie and Ruthie, and theid dad-, dy are direct descendants of Dr.| Richard Furman. We thought the girls were old enough to become interested in a portion of their background. I must confess, how ever, they were much more inter ested in that long picnic table laden with the most delicious food I’ve ever seen assembled in one spot. At least that was eno-ugh of an attraction to make them want to go to Homecoming at the Hills next year and pex’haps, in time, photo.) ing or deliberate subversion.

Regardless of tho-se; who have inspired this movement, and regardless of the best inten tions on the part of some who are sharing in this program, it is fit ting in perfectly with Moscow’s prog'ram.” “. . . the poison which para lyzes the will to resist, something the American people have been immune to up to now, is becoming virulent in America, too.

The first decision in the case, handed down by the United States District Court sitting in Green ville, S. C., held the patent valid and awarded Treble damages to Chicopee. This decision was re versed when the Court of Appeals held that the Chicopee patent was clearly invalid and directed dis missal of the suit. By its refusal to review the case the Supreme Court, in its most recent action, permits the decision of the Court of Appeals to stand.

FOR SOMETHING It has been well stated that it isn’t enough to be against some thing; you must be for something. I’m for a return to good old- fashioned patriotism; for less gov ernment and more willingness on the part of individuals to work and sacrifice for freedom; for an awareness of our blessings; for a review of our heritage—that which made America the great country she has been in the past. We indulged in reviewing a little personal heritage this past Sun day, when we went to Homecom ing Services of High Hills Baptist Church in the high hills of Sum ter County.
