(I. !). Wiles, president of Newberry College, announced a recent gift of $2.0,000 from Holland R. Paysinger, long-time sup porter of Newberry College. With this gift, Mr. Paysinger en dowed two scholarships at the college in honor of his mother and father, Mrs. Lillie Boozer Paysinger and Frederick Lawson Pay singer. The scholarships will be made available to students in the upper classes at the college. In the photo, from left, are Dr. Wiles, Mr. Paysinger, Treasurer B. O. Long, and Dean of Men Philip T. Kelly. (Photo by Nichols). demand equal space in this col umn between now and election time. That request will be grant ed. It will be interesting to know what Rob wull write to defend Bill W orkman’s opponent. I hope it isn’t the time-worn ar gument about seniority. I believe it w T as David Lawrence who men tioned the “importance” of senior ity in the Congress the other day -—and listed all the important committee chairmen. The Senator from S. C. and his committee were not even mentioned. And I w'ould be fearful if he had been listed as chairman of one of the more powerful committees. If such were the case, would he use that senior ity and power to push through the unfair, unwanted, welfare state Medicare plan ? Would he use it to give more power to his friends, the labor union members and their bosses? As it is, will he use his seniority and power to put on a Federal bench Thurgood Mar shall, who has conducted almost every integration case of any im portance in the South for the NAACP? How long has he ever stood and talked on the Senate floor to keep from having legislation, obnoxious and insulting to the South, from being passed? What really, has he done, ex cept cover the state with new post offices during an election year? Don’t be surprised if the word comes between now and November 6 that Newberry is to get a new post office. When the announce ment is made, remember that the local P. 0. has been cramped and crowded Aor years; that efforts have been made time and again to get the post office enlarged, or a new one built. Will Bob Lake defend the Sena tor because of the Donaldson AFB thing? Isn’t is peculiar that it took months and months of study, for the Department of Defense to de termine Donladson wasn’t needed, but only took an hour for Presi dent Kennedy to decide it was? Those who choose to defend the Senior Senator in his position on Medicare realize, I trust, they are putting the burden on their child ren and grandchildren to pay hos pital bills for parents and grand parents. They might also consider this: The Chicago Daily News re cently had something to say about the much-maligned medical pro fession which deserves the wid est possible reading. Here, in part, is its view: “In these times doctors seem constantly to be un der attack as self-centered, venal, old-fashioned in their fear of so- calism of their profession, even callous in their regard for the wel fare of the older portion of the population. “We don’t doubt there are some bad doctors; the AM A is constant ly policing its own vast member- ship, disciplining those who take too easy a view of the profession’s high standards. “But the record of the past couple of decades eloquently re flects the wisdom of entrusting the medical profession with its as signed tasks and the freedom to carry them out in its own way. One by one the great scourges— schools, more emphasis is placed on respect for Flag and ('ountr\ ; the sooner the better. But how do you explain about the Don Curtain and the Berlin wall to youngsters, ages 7 and 9? During their short lives we have tried to teach them love and un selfishness, and they find it diffi cult to understand hate and greed. Perhaps their teachers, trained to understand and get a message across to certain age groups, will be able to do a better job of ex planation than I can.

Workers For Workman Have Meeting Here A group of citizens from various sections of the county, interested in the candidacy of W.

Mr. Williamson gave a report of activities on a county level to date. Walter Regnery, finance | chairman, reported that in about j two weeks time, almost two-thirds of the county’s financial goal had been obtained and that he was con fident the remainder and more would be contributed within the next week or ten days.

License Checks On Wide Scale To Begin Soon Starting immediately an inten sive road check of drivers will be made by State Highway Patrol men throughout the state in an ef fort to remove from the highways those who are operating without driver licenses or with licenses un der suspension, Chief Highway Commissioner Silas N. Pearman has announced. The highway pa trol has conducted such road checks in the past, but the new program will be much more inten sive than any heretofore schedul ed. Mr. Pearman said full public co operation in the license check pro gram was of the utmost import ance. He stressed that the overall objective was to give greater pro tection to law-abiding citizens by removal from the highways of dan gerous and irresponsible drivers who are causing so many accidents, deaths and injuries. He pointed out that the mileage death rate in South Carolina was entirely too high, and that he felt one of the reasons for this was the many un licensed and irresponsible drivers on the highways. Irk connection with checking on unlicensed drivers, patrolmen will also be on a close lookout for drunken drivers, dangerously de fective vehicles, stolen vehicles and other conditions which contribute to lawlessness in the use of the highways of South Carolina. The checks will be held through out the state at various types of locations, on both main and little- used highways, and at unannounc ed times. Special attention will be given to highways leading to road side establishments which serve alcoholic beverages. This will serve to pick up drunken drivers who are such a menace to safety. Mr. Pearman said that it will sometimes appear to law-abiding citizens that they are being need lessly detained while the checks are being made. However, delays will be brief and no one will be kept any longer than absolutely necessary to properly check his driver license and identification. Moreland Dies At Peak Home William D. Moreland, 77, died lale Monday night at his home in Peak after seven months of ill ness.

Dorn Escorts Gen. MacArthur Representative William Jen nings Bryan Dorn joined Speaker McCormack, Vice President John son, Congressman Rivers and oth ers at a luncheon honoring Gen eral Douglas MacArthur in the famous Speaker’s Dining Room in the Nation's Caphol. Representative Dorn was among the Congressmen asked to greet General MacArthur in the Speak er’s office and to escort the Gen eral to the dining room, and la ter to the steps of the House wing of the Capitol where General Mac Arthur officially accepted an en grossed resolution of thanks from Congress. The General very elo quently expressed his gratitude to Congress, the American people, his old soldiers, and “Almightly God.” Previously General MacArthur told Representative Dorn, “I can not tell you how grateful I am for your unfailing support. It is one of the higUights of my service.” Congressman Dorn throughout the years has been a stout defender of General MacArthur and his Far Eastern policy. It will be recalled that Dorn was the last Congress man to confer with MacArthur in Tokyo befot^ his removal as Far Eastern Commander in Chief dur ing the Korean War. This was General Mac Arthur’s first visit to Congress since his famous speech in 1951 when he said, “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” John F. Clarkson, president of the Newberry County Develop ment Board, announced today that the Board has appointed a special committee to work for a new postal facility for the City of Newberry. The Post Office com mittee consists of Steve C. Grif fith, Jr., Chairman, George K. Dominick and Dave L. Hayes. Ex- Officio members of the committee are Senator J. F. Hawkins, Mayor Ernest Layton and John F. Clark son. Harry Moose, Postmaster, and Ben P. Robinson, Executive Director of the Development Board, have been assisting the committee in this work. Steve C. Griffith Jr. reported this week that the committee has been working diligently for two months now and some evidence of progress is beginning to take form. Postal officials in Washington and in the regional office in Atlanta have been contacted and encour agement has been given to the local committee. Mr. Griffith also reports that Senators Olin D. Johnston and Strom Thurmond, along with Congressman Wm. Jen nings Bryan Dorn, have beer working almost daily on this pro ject for Newberry. Mr. Griffith released quotes from letters from some of the va rious officials who are working on this project. Senator Johnston stated in a very recent letter, “I want you to know that I am doing every thing I can to push this project forward. On August 9, I war ad vised by the Acting Regional Di rector of the Department in At lanta that it was his hope that a new facility could be constructed in Newberry within the near fu ture.” Senator Strom Thurmond has also been most interested and the following quotation is taken from a recent letter from him: “I hope the Post Office Department will get moving on this matter, and I stand ready to be of assistance at any time.” Congressman Dorn, who is al ways interested in the progress of Newberry, makes the following statement in a letter recently re- Rev. and Mrs. Bob Long and daugter, Suzi are spending this week in Brevard, N. C. and at other points of interest in the North Carolina mountains. College Gets Ready To Open Plans are progressing for the opening of Newberry College for the 1962-1963 session in Septem ber.

They told me that it is very definitely in the plans of the Post Office Department; in fact, it was in the 1963 Budget which started July 1.” In addition, the official attitude of the Post Office Department has been expressed in a communication received from Frederick C. Belen, Assistant Postmaster General: “The additional space for postal operations which was recently ac quired on a rental basis is a tem- r porary arrangement until such time that suitable quarters can be provided under our Postal Modern ization Program. Consideration is currently being given our facility requirements at Newberry, 'and you may be assured proper quart ers will be provided as soon as budgetary and manpower limita tions permit.” Messrs. Griffith, Dominick and Hayes stated that the committee will continue to function until such time that the need for a pos tal facility in Newberry is realized and no stone will be left unturned until this is accomplished.
