Part of every good man’s life is dedi cated to the promotion of the public welfare; the other part is devoted to earning a meager living and get ting a little sleep. VOLUME 25; NUMBER 31. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, By The Way - By DORIS A. SANDERS LETTER FROM COAST The following*letter, mentioned in last week’s column, is from a native of Newberry, who has been living in the West for a number of years. While I do not believe the writer would object to being identified, since specific permission for publication was not given, the name is being withheld. The letter is as follows: Dear Mrs. Sanders: I have intended to write you for some time, but have been so busy writing my Congressmen that I have neglected writ ing to you. After having read Lamar F. Neville’s letter I de cided to write today. I will start out by saying that I have followed your col umn for some time, and you are to be commended for the stand which you have taken concerning the Cuban situation, Capital Punishment, The Walker Case, Federal Aid to Educa tion, Foreign Aid, The Presbyterian Survey, etc. I was very much perturbed at the letter Mr. Neville wrote you and think that he should be informed before he makes such statements. I think that the John Birch Society and many other Anti-Communist Organizations are doing a won derful job at fighting Communism. For Mr. Lamar Neville to make the malicious and false remarks about the Birch So ciety, which he admits he knows nothing about, except hear say, is uncalled for and unbecoming to a man in his Christ ian position. Members of the Birch Society never make state ments that they cannot back up. That would be a good prac tice for Mr. Neville to follow in the future. “Operation Abolition’’ which Mr. Neville objects to, but has not seen, is a wonderful picture which every American should see. Everyone should read J. Edgar Hoover’s “blas ters of Deceit,’’ also “Nine Men Against America’’, “Good Friday 1963’’, etc. We must be informed if we are to win in our fight against Communism. Federal Control and Foreign Aid must be stopped if we are to remain free and continue in our American Way of Life. Keep on informing the people what is happening to our country, for it is later than we think. I am -sure if we all work together and keep on fighting Communism we will win and keep our Freedom which is so dear to all of us. Again, Congratulations for the excellent job you are do ing for our country.’’ Just Can’t Wait! “Doesn’t that look yummy? I don’t believe I can wait ’til Thanksgiving.” So—with the aid of her sister, the little girl talks her Daddy into carving r the big bird so they may have a “little” taste. Those of us at The Sun hope that your Thanks giving will be as bountiful as the one which seems to be in store for these youngsters. At this season, we express our thanks to you for your many kindnesses of the past. (Sun- photos.) THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1961 A PRAYER FOR TODAY O God, the Giver of life and of all that makes life good we lift our hearts to bless Thy name for all that Thou art and for all that Thou hast bestowed upon us. And as we remind ourselves of all Thy goodness and mercy to us, we would not be unmindful of those who are so much less fortunate than ourselves. For those who are behind the iion curtain; for those who live in regions that are beset with strife and conflict; for those who lack the necessities of life; for all Thy needy chil dren we pray Thy blessing and Thy help. In Jesus Name. Amen. + $2.00 PER 'YEAK Open Door Awaits You m :* v I Sgggg Ml Mrs. Bowers Succumbs To Criminal Court Term Opens In Newberry Monday Morning LETTER FROM HOME Not all of the readers of this column are so compliment ary. Ordinarily I do not publish anonymous letters, but since the only object of criticism in this one is the writer of the column, I wouldn’t miss publishing it. After reading it, you may draw your own conclusions as to the author. Comments in parentheses are mine: Mrs. Sanders you say in your column you welcome all letters. (Signed ones, that is.) here is one I would like you to print if you have the guts to do so. (Not only do I have the guts to do so; I have the “guts” to sign what I write for publication.) it is the other side of what the people think of you. first of all you said in your column one or two police officers were unfriendly to you second may I ask who you think you are that every one should bow down to you (I know who I am, and I haven’t asked anyone to bow down to me.) I thought all queens were to be crowned first and I have not heard anything of your being crowned nor Have I saw your crown as of yet. (Keep looking.) was these police officers supposed to run up to you and shake your hand for nothing and that is just what your column is. (No, but it would be more civil if they would speak when spoken to.) of course I guess one can expect anything when ones relatives own the paper and if you are wanting to run the town and all the outside iffairs that are no concern of your whatever. (You’re wrong, my friend, what affects this town, state and nation and its people are my concern.) why don’t you run for mayor of Newberry. (I’ve thought of that too, but I think we have a good mayor and I think I can do more good where I am.) I am sure you would not last long at that as you have in the Sun so why don’t you go home where a mother and wife should be (I will, if you can talk my boss into accepting my resignation) and let the officials run the towm. (They do, but they need a little jacking up sometimes.) thank you. (You’r» welcome.)
