Thee and scattered the fruits of
evil among our fellow men. (Lie

MORF: ABOUT ST ROM
There was a note in this i-c Lunn
last week about .-ome of the
charges which have been made as
a result of Strom Thurmond’s in
vestigation into “gagging” of the
military. More information about
the subject has reached my desk,
and a few of the other changes
are listed here:
“Did you know that as a direct
result of the Thurmond investiga
tion the State iJepartment was
forced to initiate a new r system of
censorship of military anti-com
munist speeches which reduces the
mandatory changes to 10 percent
of those formerly censored ?
“Did you know that censorship
of military journals and of mili
tary statements before congress
ional committees is much lighter;
that the House has voted 2/3 re
duction in funds for the censors
in retaliation against their ac
tions; that a new film, “The Com
munist Con Game” is due in 1964
as part of a new 3-year education
program; that another film, Com
munist Target Youth” is now in
use; that six good anti-communi-
ist publications once shelved are
back in use; that material from
The Nation magazine, a book en
titled This Monstrous War, which
was written by a communist now
in Moscow, and a communist pro
paganda film entitled Russia have
been eliminated from troop edu
cation programs; that other mor
ally degrading, salacious and sub
versive literature found readily
available on service newsstands
has largely been removed; that a
new directive entitled “Protection
of Moral Standards’ ’has been is
sued by the Defense Department;
that The Overseas Weekly, has
been forced to make some changes
in its policies and may still be re
moved from The Stars and Stripes
delivery system; that cold war
seminar experts on communism
from the Navy and Army are
again available for seminar ap
pearances?”
Looks as though the Senator
shook up a few people at the Pen
tagon with his investigation.

complaints about property which

e Ifert to remove health hazards,
as well as unsightly vacant lots
and houses, from the city.
Y uncii voted to lower the speed

compare with the State Highway
Department fine, but tagged a
>25.(10 fine on those caught ex
ceeding 50 miles an hour. The I’o-
lice Department was asked to
make a survey of streets and in
tersections which need additional
traffic signs.
Council again discussed the dog
situation, and asked Police Chief
Dowd to see if i. plan could he
worked out with veterinarians
,vhereby a different co.or tag

TO BE CUT
I’m glad City Council finally
made up its mind to take down
those two menacing trees on the
corner of Boundary and Langford
streets. They are a hazard to ev
ery motorist passing that way,
because of the possibility of being
blown over in a rough wind; but
they are especially hazardous to
motorists trying to enter Bound
ary Street from Langford because
one must get out into Boundary be
fore it is possible to see whether
there is any traffic on Boundary.
I hope the cutting-down process
will get underway and completed
before Council changes its mind

New Building
Is Dedicated
By MRS. A. H. COUNTS
Historical Bethlehem Lutheran
Church near Pomaria observed its
annual homecoming Sunday, and
also dedicated a new parish build
ing in a special service during the
afternoon.
Dr. Karl W. Kinard, president
of the South Carolina Lutheran
Synod, delivered the sermon for
the dedication of the new building.
He congratulated the congregation
on the handsome building which,
when completed, was debt free.
“You Hill find that this build
ing will mean much to you as a
congregation,” Dr. Kinard said.
“First you will find that it is a
place where you can express grat
itude to God. Second it is a place
for Christian fellowship and third
it will be a place where both young
and adults will be trained for
Christian leadership.”
Members of the church of the
Golden Age Group were recogniz
ed during the homecoming service
which was conducted by Thomas
Leitzsey.
The church records date back to
1816 when the church was built.
However, according to the annals
of John A. Chapman, Bethlehem
Church was incorporated in 1788.
There is no further record or in
formation to back up the state
