REPUBLICAN CREED
Since W. D. Workman Jr., can
didate for Republican nomination
for U. S. Senate, will be speaking
in Newberry tonight, this seems
an appropriate time to publish
"The Republican Creed.” It is
as follows:
"I do not choose to be a com
mon man. It is my right to be un
common. If I can seek opportun
ity, not security, I want to take the
calculated risk to dream and to
build, to fail and to succeed. I re
fuse to barter incentive for dole.
I prefer the challenge of life to
guaranteed security, the thrill of
fulfillment to the calm state of
utopia. I will not trade freedom
for beneficence, nor my dignity for
a handout. I will never cower be
fore any master, save my God. It
is my heritage to stand erect,
proud and unafraid; to think and
act for myself; enjoy the benefits
of my creations; to face the whole
world boldly and say, ‘I am a
free American’.”
JUST ONE SIDE
Clever newsmen, and clever poli
ticians, are adept at giving just
>one side of a story.
I heard a so-called debate on a
radio program the other night,
between two Republican congress
men, arguing the question, “Is to
day’s Republican Party the same
as it was in Lincoln’s day?”
One of the honorable gentle
men said no, because the Republi
can party hadn’t done enough in
the field of civil rights—that Lin
coln was a “moderate” who believ
ed in equality for all.
Hearing that reminded me of a
seldom-heard statement made by
Lincoln in a debate with Stephen
Douglas in 1858. Bill Workman
included this in hii book, “The
Case for the South”:
“I will say then that I am not
nor ever have been in favor of
bringing about in any way the so
cial and political equality of the
black and white races—that I am
not, nor ever have been, in favor
of making voters or jurors of
Negroes, nor of qualifying them
to hold office, nor to intermarry
with white people; and I will say
in addition to this that there is a
physical difference between the
black and white races which, I be
lieve, will forever forbid the two
races living together on terms of
social and political equality. And
inasmuch as they cannot so live,
while they do remain together
there must be the position of su
perior and inferior, and I as much
as any other man am in favor of
having the superior position as
signed to the white race.”
Wonder why the NAACP and
civil rights champions never use
this statement of President Lin
coln ?
EDUCATION BY TV?
Someone called me the other
day and wanted to know what I
thought of educational TV. I gave
the honest reply that I didn’t
know, since I’d never seen it, had
had no experience with it, and
as a result knew nothing about it.
Since then I’ve tried to find out
a little more and the reports I re
ceive are varied although most of
those to whom I talked saw ETV
as a good thing. Others complain
ed of too-large classes, too little
supervision of students.
ETV is still in its infancy, and
any baby (as well as any adult)
makes mistakes. I am convinced,
however, that ETV should be giv
en a chance. It is not going to re
place the classroom teacher; rath
er it seems to me it will help her
and will cause TV classroom teach
ers to keep “on their toes” in sub
ject matter they teach.
The thing that convinces me that
ETV should be given a chance is
a review of the 1960-61 annual re
port of the State Superintendent
of Education.
In that report is the informa
tion that during the past school
year, 622 teachers taught out of
their subject field-—meaning they
did not have the required courses
in college to teach the subjects
they were teaching. Two years
before, only 309 teachers fell in
this category. Of the 622, 112 who
were not qualified to teach math
were teaching math to our chil
dren; 81 not qualified to teach
science were teaching science. If
ETV is the only way to get quali
fied teachers, then we should have
it.
Among the other interesting
facts revealed in this report, about
the school year 1960-61:
Average salary paid classroom
teachers $3,694 (average 1950-51,
$1941.)
There were 22,346 teachers em
ployed in the public schools.
Ninety-five percent of the teach
ers employed were college grad
uates (1950-51, 65 percent.)
Of the employed teachers, 3,-
572 held a master’s degree.
Approximately, 2,000 new teach
ers are needed each year in the
public schools.
Of the 962 white graduates of
June 1960, 433 taught in South
Carolina schools during the 1960-
61 school year. Of 547 Negro
graduates, 191 taught.
There were six vacancies in
physics and none graduated to
teach.
Less than 50% of students en
tering the 7th grade remain to
graduate from high school.
The highest percentage of
courses failed by college fresh
men were in the fields of mathe
matics and science.
Receipts for public school edu
cation amounted to $140,000,000.
(32.6% local; 60.98% state; 6.-
24% federal; and .17% other.) Of
this amount, 79.08 percent was
spent for instruction.
School property in South Caro
lina is valuated at $389,519,127 as
against 90.7 million in 1950.
School districts owed $40,509,-
328.

Almighty God, Whose loving

Twenty-five members of the
Newberry College Band have been

State Concert Band at Furman
University, February 16 and 17.
Members from the county are
Patsy Frick, Margaret Kelly and
Larry Williams.
The College All-State 'Band will
be made up of band students from
Clemson, Citadel, Converse, Fur

and Wofford. These will start re
hearsal Friday and a concert will
be presented to the public Satur

torium on the Furman campus.
Each represented College band
director will rehearse two num
bers of his own choosing with the
All-State band and conduct these
two selections at the concert.
Prof. Charles Pruitt is director
of the Newberry College band.
City Council had a busy time
Tuesday night with several dele
gations to hear from and a num
ber of other items on its agenda.
An effort to further extend the
city’s limits was brought before
Council in the form of an annexa-
| tion petition, presented by Jim
Miskelly. The area involved is
rom the present limits past Su
burbia, up Highway 76 to Kinard
Street Ext. (Faith Lutheran
Church), following Kinard "”t. to
Scotts Creek back to tk ^ city
limits. Council accepted the peti-
to be turned over to the Audi-
>r for Newberry County for cer
tification of signatures.
A petition opposing the annexa
tion was received as information.
S. C. Floyd and R. E. Summer
Jr. of the Merchant’s Association
told council that the Association
desired to work out a permanent
plan concerning Christmas lights
for the city. They were informed
that the request for additional
funds would be considered when
council prepared its budget fer
next .year.
Also heard from were Charles
H. Davis Jr., director of traffic
engineering of the Traffic and
Planning Associates of Hickory,
N. C., and James N. Sherrill, arch
itect of Hickory.
Mr. Sherill reported that at the
request of council, he had made a
thorough examination of the Op
era House building. His report was
that the building was not sound
and certainly was not suitable for
office and jail building. He said
that in his opinion, the only way
it could be used at all would be
to tear out all the inside and com
pletely re-construct it. He estir
mated the cost of sucn work
would be at least $200,000 and ev
en with this amount, the building j
couldn’t be designed to be used
efficiently.
Council received Mr. Sherilll’s
report 'as information, and dis
cussed having a referendum to let
the taxpayers decide whether to
spend this amount of money for
renovation of the old building.
Mr. Davis submitted a new pro
posal for traffic engineering and
city planning services for Newber-
ry, and explained the zoning and
planning. Following lengthy dis
cussion, council decided to go ahead
with the project. Services to be
rendered by the Planning com
pany include making a base map,
population study, economic study,
land use survey, land use plan and
zoning ordinance.
Council agreed to widen Harde
man street, provided easements
from all property owners were se
cured.
Council also gave the go-ahead
to proceed with the construction
of water and sewer extensions to
the Negro swimming pool and bath
house. P. K. Fuller, recreation di
rector, stated that the pool would
be finished in about three weeks.
Council discussed the parking
meter revenue receipts, which have
decreased 22 1 / £% over the past 10
years. The city manager was told
to have Chief Dowd instruct the
police officers to check parking
meters more often for violations
and also to check parking in “No
Parking” areas.
Mayor Layton appointed Coun
cilman Frank Armfield Jr., chair
man, Council: ion Jimmie Daven
port and E. F. McCutcheon as
members of a committee to screen
and interview applicants for the
position of city manager of New
berry.
Recreation Director gave a de
tailed report of recreation activi
ties during the last quarter. He
stated that he had been contacted
by a delegation requesting a full
time program director for the
Negro recreation program. He pre
sented the name of Rudolph Cald
well for this position at a salary
of $50 a week, under Mr. Fuller’s
supervision. This suggestion was
approved.

Beloved Doctor,
Ernest Moore
Died Friday
Dr. Ernest Harrison Moore, 81,
chief of staff * <4* the Newberry
County Memorial Hospital, died
Friday at the Newberry Hospital.
Dr. Moore had been active in his
practice in Newberry County over
55 years until his recent illness.
He was one of the oldtime family
physicians and rendered his serv
ices throughout Newberry County
and in adjoining counties.
Dr. Me ore, a native of the
Moore section of Spartanburg
County, came to Newberry County
in 1907 after his graduation from
the South Carolina Medical Col
lege, and established his practice
in the Dead Fall community, 10
miles southwest of Newberry. He
had also graduated from Wofford
College.
After his marriage in 1912 to
Miss Novice Brown, he and his
bride lived in the Mount Bethel
community where he established
a practice which eventually ex
tended thruout Newberry County
and into adjacent counties of
Fairfield, Union, Laurens and Sa
luda.
In the early days, Dr. Moore
traveled to his patients’ homes by
horse and buggy or by horseback
or muleback. He had to ford Broad
River and Saluda River or cross
them by boat.
Dr. Moore bought his first auto
mobile, a two cylinder Maxwell,
in 1912 and later ‘graduated” to
the Model T Ford. Since that time
has had worn out many vehicles
traveling the many miles over the
wide area of his practice. There
was not a paved road or street
in the entire county when he be
gan' his medical career.'
Dr. Moore, interviewed several
years ago, could not estimate the
number of bauies be had delivered
but he had ushered three genera
tions into the world. 1 s
In 1918, Dr. Moore worked
night and day in treating hund
reds of influenza patients. “It was
the most tragic epidemic in the
history of medicine,” he recalled.
Through the years he kept
abreast of the newest developments
in his profession. “I have seen
some tragic things in my time,”
he recalled, adding that modern
medicine has eliminated many of
them.
Dr. Moore was z son of the late
L. G .and Mary Ellen Harrison
Moore of Spartanburg County.
He had been chief of staff of
Newberry County Memorial Hos
pital and was an honorary member
and past president of the Newber
ry County Medical Society, past
president of the Newberry Kiwanis
Club and a member of Lebanon
Methodist Church.

About 22,0000 doses were ad
ministered last Thursday, the day

since that time, Dr. Long said.
