The other day on the 1" arm and Home program, he read a letter from a lady who \va.- trying to locate locusts lor making beer. Jimmy seemed unable to l>elie\e the lady really meant locust. Perhaps he is like some ^ ankee 1 riends I had. They were coming from Washington to Newberry for j a visit and as we rode along 1 re- j marked: “Th ere's some locust— let’s stop and get some.” “Why?” they wanted to know. "To eat, 1 j replied. Well, they were aghast until we finally got the thing straightened out. I was referring to honey lo cust, which grows on trees. The only kind of locust they knew about was the grasshopper type. Perhaps Jimmy was envisioning beer made with grasshoppers, in stead of with honey locust and persimmons. sd, died in Wal lace Thompson Ho.-pita’, I'nion. Saturday, after a long illness.

Bob Long was kind enough to lend me his copy of “A Study of Communism” to read while 1 am home-bound. This book, by J.

It would be nice to see this book, along with Mr. Hoover’s “Masters of Deceit” on the required reading- list for high school and college students. Youth needs to be taught that communism in any form is a reign of terror, not panacea for all ills.

Mr. Summer said the car jumped a 15 inch retaining wall and went yards before striking the tree. The injured man was rushed to a Columbia hospital in critical condition and died there at 2:05 p. m. Investigating the accident were Coroner Summer, the Whitmire Police department and State high way patrolmen W. J. Martin and Bobby Crisley. The Coroner said no inquest was planned.

The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Hart Jordan on Boundary Street was the setting for the Newberry Newcomers Club Christmas Party on Friday night, December 14, from 8:00 until 10:00 p.m. The Jordan home was colorfully decorated for the holiday season.

Wham of Laurens a i will become a Field Representa tive on the staff of the South Carolina Mental Health Associa tion on January 1, 1963. Announcement of Mrs. Wham’s appointment to this added posi tion w y as made by Mrs. Richmond M. Arnold of Greenwood, chair man of SCMHA’s Personnel Com mittee, which was in charge of screening and interviewing the many well-qualified applicants. Mrs. Wham, a Laurens native, (the former Alma Templeton), has been employed for the past fifteen years in the Quality and Produc tion Department of the Watts division of J. P. Stevens r 'o., in Laurens. For a number of years Mrs. Wham has been one of South lil have to take issue with the Greenville News editorial writer •who expresses the opinion that af ter hearing so much Christmas music on the radio “rock n’ roll” will be welcome listening after the holidays are over. NOTHING, in wiy mind, could be worse than so-called music known as rock ’n roll. Besides, I don’t tire of the beautiful Christmas music so long as it is performed the way it is written and not jazzed up or “rocked ’n rolled” as I notice some of it is these days. True, I get a little bored with the “Twelve Days of Christmas” but the beautiful old selections, the carols and those in a more popular vein, such as White Christmas—even if played a month prior to the actual sea son, are a welcome relief from j j9-55_5(j ( an( | served continu- the noise which commonly issues > aI]v as Secretai v for the Lau- from the radio stations these days, j rcns chapter since that time.

C.) ex presses what I was trying to say last week. Entitled “Donaldson Execution Stay Achieved Doubt ful Purpose,” the editorial stated: One does not have to listen closely to hear a ragged but angry chorus of ‘“We told you so!” go ing up across the State of South Carolina. The Republicans and the anti- Johnston Democrats were stunn ed—no, shattered is the better word—when Senator Olin D. John ston turned the political trick of the year and got the President to cancel the impending shut-down of Greenville’s , Donaldson Air Base not long before the Novem ber election. It was a masterful political coup by a canny and powerful man, and more than one South Carolinian who had been leaning toward Bill Workman for the Senate was re minded with great timeliness of the benefits that accrue from sen iority and a long record of party loyalty. But few of Johnston’s enemies believed that the stay of Donald son’s execution was more than a temporary expedient, and said so. They may be proven right, for word comes that Donaldson is once again on or near the chop ping block. Johnston has said that he will continue to fight to keep the base in full operation, but whether he wins or loses, he has won. Thus is the national defense mixed and in termixed in politics, and one can’t admire this condition of things. For while military bases and in stallations have a potent economic effect on communities that are lucky enough to have them nearby the fac that some citizens gain this way economically does not mean that they—or any of us— gain in national safety. The op posite is quite often true. Senators, representatives and icvn recognized by j both the South Carolina Mental; Health Association and the Nat- ' ional Committee against Mental Illness for her work as a Mental Health volunteer. Mrs. Wham is past-president of the Laurens Business and Profes sional Women’s Club, and has par ticipated in fund raising cam paigns for the Laurens County unit of the American Cancer So ciety and for the Laurens Com munity chest. As SCMHA’s second Field Rep resentative, Mrs. Wham will work with the Association’s State Board of Directors and other staff mem bers in providing assistance and guidance to Mental Health chap ters throughout the State, in or ganizing new County Mental Health Associations, and in the over-all program of the South Carolina division of the National Association for Mental Health. Her addition to the State As sociation’s staff was made pos sible by an increase in SCMHA’s operating budget for 1963, ap proved by the Admissions and Budget Committee of Carolinas United and the Community Chests and United Funds of the State. a military point of view than one in Wyetown. Defense Department planners, who can skip the constituents and concentrate on the national def ense, know better. But the defense men cannot forget who holds the purse strings, and if it ever comes down to a choice, a navy base in New Mexico is probably better than no base at all. governers like to see as many military bases and National Guard units set up in their areas as the traffic will bear. Congressmen find it all too easy to rationalize —often wrongly—that a base in Extown is in a better place from Mrs. Lindler Rites Tuesday Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Rister Lindler, 52, wife of George A. Lindler, Rt. 1, Little Mountain near Peak, died Monday morning at her home. Born and reared near Chapin in Lexington County, she was a daughter of the late John David and Mary Alice Wessinger Lind ler.

Call to Praver Turn our eyes, O God to the shining Star of Bethlehem that we may never again lose the way. Tune our ears to the melody of the Judean Hills, that we may ever strive for peace on earth, good will to ward all men. Bend our minds in wonder before the Christ child in the manger, that we may acquire the wisdom of the Magi. Touch our hearts with love that in Jesus’ name we may loving be. Draw us close to Thy vision that we may know our field of service. This we ask in Christ’s name. —Amen.
