When a woman puts on her new seasonal outfit her husband puts on his work-clothes. He has to—to pay for it. Benjamin Franklin preache d thrift and was always over drawn at the bank. Moral: you shouldn't look a philosopher in his bank-book. VOLUME 27; NUMBER 19. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1963 ♦ $2.00 Per Year By The Way - By DORIS A. SANDERS WELL AND HAPPY To the many friends of Dr. and Mrs. R. A. Goodman, who haven't seem them recently, I’d like to re port that they are well and happy. We went up to Statesville last weekend to pick up our visiting daughters and stopped in Trout man for a visit with the Good- mans. We had warned them that we would have breakfast with them, and Mrs. Goodman had pre pared a delicious repast, made eve* more enjoyable by their pleasant company. We have about decided that when and if we ever retire, we’ll fro to Troutman. Seems that every time we see Dr. and Mrs. Good man—which isn’t nearly often enough—they both look younger than they did the time before. Must be something about the air in Iredell county. In their spacious, shady back yard, Dr. Goodman showed us his garden—a garden of beautiful roses. I asked if he didn’t have vegetables. “Oh, yes,” he replied. Pointing across the street to a neighbor’s house, he said “There’s my corn” and next door were to matoes and other vegetables. The neighbors keep him supplied, he said, so it isn’t necessary for him to have a vegetable garden him self. Until recently, Dr. Goodman has been busy most of his retire ment, supplying nearby churches. He hasn’t done as much of this recently because, as he said “I preached them all into getting good pastors and preached myself out of a job.” A visit with the Goodmans is a heart-warming experience — one which we always enjoy. ing Bishop’s moral sanction of the march on Washington for civil rights, they have accepted the Presiding Bishop’s wrongful as sumption of power that is not his. In the doing they have encour aged the Negro to use immoral means in seeking his rights, and have made a mockery of constitu tional government. If a law is right, the Congress must pass it; i f it is wrong, they cannot pass it. Mob pressure cannot enter in to the decision of right and wrong. This decision to support mass demonstrations does an injustice to the Negro and to the Nation. The Vestry of St. Francis’ Epis copal Church in Greenville has voted to take action in protest against this decision and the wrongful assumption of power on the part of the Presiding Bishop. We protest the way in which he got a majority of the House of Bishops to supnort his actions. ROBERT L. OLIVEROS, Rector, St. Francis Episcopal Church. P. 0. Closes For Labor Day Monday, September 2 being a legal holiday, the Post Office will be closed. There will be no rural or city delivery and no window service. Mail will be worked to postoffice boxes and outgoing mail will be dispatched, according to | Postmaster Harry Moo:e. FRESH AIR In the midst of all the gloomy news of the past week, twm items I ran across were like a breath of fresh air. The first was a notice that the Presbyterian Church, US (South), or rather its representatives to the general board of the National Council of Churches (NCC), fin ally decided that the notorious NCC had gone too far. They de clined to follow the NCC’s direc tive to its member churches to join in the August 28 march on Washington, and further advised the NCC to “make it clear in its public statements, it is not speak ing or acting on behalf of all Protestant denominations in con troversial matters unless these have given specific authorization.” The Southern Presbyterians urged the NCC to “re-examine the procedures” followed by its Commission on Religion and Race and “to move to a policy of nego tiations rather than one of public demonstrations.” The agitating NCC, of course, paid no attention and Instead dis tributed “Songs of Freedom” which it suggested could be sung on bus or train trips by those go ing to take part in the Washing ton march. Also speaking out refreshingly during the past week, in a letter to the Greenville News, was Rev. Robert L. Oliveros, Rector of St. Francis Episcopal church, Green ville. Rev. Oliveros, backed up by his congregation, takes the Epis copal church’s Presiding Bishop to task, as follows: Editor The News: The Protestant Episcopal church in the United States of America was as magnificent an organiza tion as the constitutional Republic of these United States of America in its inception. God blessed both because they were morally right. Our forefathers in organizing the American Church following the War of Independence made sure that the Episcopal Church would remain Protestant and rep resentative and that there could not arise such abuses as had arisen formerly in the church of Rome. College Press Box Improved Newberry college’s plans for improvements in the athletics de partment are fast nearing com pletion. These improvements in clude the enlargement of the press box. This particular part of the improvements is a project sponsored by the Chiefs of the Indian club. It includes a 15 foot extension, a three foot increase in width and a top on the second deck of the press box. The second deck will provide space for photographers, field phone men and an enclosed glass front section for Scouts. When completed the first section wdll have two booths for radios, a large area for the press, and a field phone man. Through the help of the city, the drainage problem on Setzler Field has been corrected, the sod on the field is now the best ever. These improvements with Wide- Lite High Output lighting system plus the painting of the cement wall around the field and a con crete fence enclosing the North end of the baseball fields, the ren ovation of the shower roofs in MacLean gymnasium give New- berry college facilities that will compare favorably with others around. Miss Carolyn Sease of Lexington pins a “Safety” button on the coat lapel of Mayor Pro-Tern Frank Armfield Jr., signifying that the City of Newberry will support the child safety campaign sponsored by the Milk Industry Foundation each year. The pur- pose of the program, supported by the dair> industry of th nation, is to make the public saifety conscious, especially during Septem ber as children start back to school. Miss Sease represents Edisto Dairies, which provides educational material for the campaign in this area. (Sunphoto. • Deputies Do Battle To Make Arrests The church government was so devised that we retained the apos tolic authority in the House of Bishops and yet gave true and full representation of the people through the House of Deputies. A position of an administrative head was deemed necessary and so a Presiding Bishop was provided for; but he was to be merely an administrative head having no authority like the Archbishop of the English Church or like the Pope of the Roman Church. The safeguard to prevent any such assumption of power lies in the authority of the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies. But like unto our nation today, our bishops instead of being truly our shepherds have become a house of sheep. In their recent decision in support of the Presid- Mrs. Lominick Rites Tuesday Mrs. Kathryn Bigby Lominick, 49, died Sunday afternoon at the New’berry County Memorial hos pital.

The men were placed under ar rest. Two of the young men start ed for the officers’ car and the third, when told to get in, replied “come and get me.” As Deputy Senn approached the man, he was struck in the face. Deputy Henderson went to his aid and the other two men joined in the scuf fle.

Taken from the store were cartons of cigarettes, cases of beer, men’s underwear, socks, la dies hose, a toaster, an electric fan and an unknown amount of cash. Officers said that the radio had been recovered from the home of Jean Mize, a white woman in Union. The toaster and fan were recovered from a pawn shop. A small amount of cigarettes was found in the possession of a Negro at Cross Keys, who told officers he and his brother were given the cigarettes and several cans of beer by the three men for help ing them fix a tire. The three are in Newberry County jail. James Harris is charged with grand larceny and receiving stolen goods on two other charges. In one case he is charged alone with the theft of a fan; in the second count he and Jean Mize are charged with the theft of a fan and an al arm clock. The clock was recover ed in Union.

Much Interest In Meeting Interest in the Thursday evening meeting at Wightman Methodist church’s educational room, look ing towards permanent plans for the perpetual care for the Pros perity cemetery, is building up each day. Those in charge of this preliminary program have been greatly encouraged by the res ponse from many persons who have loved ones buried there. Phone calls, letters and many per sonal expressions indicate that the need is great for some plan whereby the cemetery property will be kept up in a manner that will be pleasing.

Everyone wishing to ex press their views will have an op portunity to do so. The committ ee makes it known that at this meeting no call will be made for funds or for pledges.
