How’s that for State control? I had realized, but must admit that I had forgotten that the State has the final say so in things of this nature on streets which are a part of the State highway sys tem. This, I would judge, includes most of the streets in town; cer tainly it includes the Nance-Har- rington intersection. City Manager Ken Riebe wasted no time last Thursday in letting me know that a way had been worked out for a traffic control signal at that intersection—but the State says “No, you can’t do it.” Of course the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor and the chief highway commissioner don’t have to find themselves in a traffic jam at that corner several times a day. They don’t know how dangerous it is to come up that Harrington hill and try to turn on Nance St. without signals; they don’t have to try to get out of a parking lot with cars lined up a couple of blocks, so what does it matter to them ? The city manager says, how ever, that the highway department has promised to send their traffic control man to look over the sit uation again and maybe some thing can be done. If nothing else, couldn’t we have a policeman at that intersection during the rush hours ? happens to some of the trees. Of . uch is character former . •‘Unfortunately, there is no shining phrase t<> toss glibly off as to how one goes about enrich ing her life. If I were to think of one word, it would probably be ‘Learning,’ The ability to learn, to broaden one’s mental concepts is directly related to the ability to cope with one’.: environment. It does not matter how many problems we ejiminate. There will always be others. It matters only that there is an inner strength with which to adjust to situations —to change, to build, to fight— depending upon the need. “I mentioned briefly a moment ago the learning process. This, of course, is far greater than the scope of the classroom wihich can not be denied its place, but as one young bride and recent college graduate said mournfully: ‘I feel well qualified to walk into a res taurant in Paris and order dinner, but I have no idea how to cook rice so that the grains will stand apart’. “But she will learn. The ques tion is—will she develop in other ways—will her home show the touch of a woman who creates beauty? Will her children know that she is an unpermissive par ent because she loves them? Will she be stimulating conversation ally because she analyzed an edi- torial, examined a good painting, or passed an hour with a book by a great philosopher?

Hope you’ll be there to join in the Tribal cry and, we hope, the victory dance. FOR WOMEN ONLY A woman testifying in a divorce action said of her husband: “I have felt for a long time that he just considered me ‘a thing 1 .” I expect there are many wives and mothers who, in the midst of taking care of children, washing, ironing, housecleaning, cooking, dishwashing, might at times tend to feel the same way. Dr. Robert Wilson, who spoke last Wednesday at the luncheon meeting of the State Medical Auxiliary’s executive board, had some words of wisdom for just such people. While he was speak ing principally to a group of doc tor’s wives, his words would apply to almost any wife and mother: “I should like to remind each of you that you are more than a wife or a mother, important as these roles are. You are an individual, and unless you believe this, you will find your role as wife and mother less satisfactory and your effectiveness dulled. “This sounds ‘old hat’— young mothers whip from kitchen to car pool, from Girl Scouts to grin-and- bear-it recitals. As your children mature you worry about your son’s sense of values—concentrat ed on Gantt shirts and Gold Cup socks—and your daughter who spends hours ‘teasing’ her hair so that her own father won’t recog nize her. “You keep your husband’s din ner hot—not knowing whether he will be ten minutes late or two hours—and you wonder if he re members that, like his patients, you too have frustrations, you too have thoughts, and you too would like a little more of his attention. This is everyday life for a Doc tor’s wife and it is up to you a- lone to decide whether this is all life offers or whether these are merely some of its facets. “At the time that you do it there is nothing more necessary than teaching your toddler how to turn and crawl down the steps backwards rather than toppling head over heels down the stairs. But vital as such lessons are, they are not your only reason for be ing. The goal, a sense of accom plishment, an awareness of the and along with them matures as an individual. With your hands you touch the future, but you do not live in the future, you live in the present, and because of you your sons and daughters will oe able to cope with the foibles of lesser men.” Seek Industry In Chicago The Newberry County Develop ment Board is sponsoring in co operation with the State Develop ment Board, an industry hunting trip to Chicago during the week of September 29, it is announced by Chairman John F. Clarkson of the Newberry County organiza tion. The group will include Chairman Clarkson, Executive Director Da vid W. Morison, Steve C. Griffith Jr., David T. Sokevitz and Pinck ney N. Abrams, of Newberry; Ro bert C. Lake Jr., Thomas C. Can trell, and William C. Armfield, of Whitmire; David C. Waldrop of Silverstreet; and Chauncey W. Lever, Director of the Community Relations Division of the State Development Board. The State Development Board plane will fly the group from Newberry to Chicago on Sunday. Calls on industrial prospects in Chicago will be made by teams of the Newberry County groups. Newberry College’s Setzler Field will be the scene of a battle be tween two tribes of passing In dians Saturday night when Harvey Kirkland and his charges tangle with the Catawba Indians of Har vey Stratton. This will be the op ening home game of the season for Newberry. Catawba, coming into their first Carolinas Conference game fresh from an 18-14 upset of Da vidson, will be riding high when they hit Newberry Saturday. Al ready rated the favorite for Sat urday’s contest, Catawba will go into this game determined to maintain their conference passing supremacy. Last year, Stratton’s ace quarterback Bill McDevitt led the conference in passing, picking up 1100 yards through the air. Newberry’s Tom Gorman was sec ond to McDevitt with 838 yards in the air, but in a meeting between these two aces, Newberry downed Catawba 27-0. Catawba will be out to avenge this loss to the South Carolina Indians. The man to stop on the Cataw ba team will be end Bucky Pope, a 6-5 hustler from Pennsylvania. Pope, with his size and speed, is a hard man to defend, which is evi denced by the fact that he caught 41 passes for 649 yards last year. Catawba also has the nation’s number one small college punter traveling with them. Ron Crouse led all comers last year to take the punting championship. Crouse averaged right around 45 yards per kick last year, and he is ex pected to continue this year. All in all, Catawba will bring a spectacular and dangerous ball club into Setzler Field Saturday night. But Harvey Kirkland’s Newber ry Indians will be ready. The South Carolina brand Indians will coun ter the mighty passing of Cataw ba with some pretty fair passing of their own. Tom Gorman, sen ior quarterback, can fill the air with passes, and right end Fred Haley, one of the best receivers in this area, can snag these aerials i with ease. But the Indians will not J rely on German’s passing and Ha ley’s receiving to carry them. They I can also move the ball on the ground, which was shown in their 14-0 loss to Appalachian. Half backs Irvin Fordham and Reed Charpia and fullback Bill Ham mond should really come into their own this week, and they will if they can cure the fumbleitis bug. Saturday night’s game at Setz ler Field will be an exciting game to watch. There is sure to be plen ty of passing, hard running, and sure tackling when the battle of the Indians takes place. Scout Drive Is Lagging Hart Jordan, County Chairman for the Boy Scout Finance Drive that is now in progress, reports that only about one-third of the quota of $6,500 has been raised to date. This includes the $1,000 paid by Whitmire at the annual kick off breakfast on September 12. Jordan urges all team captains to complete their contacts no later than Thursday of this week. He would like to have a final report for the District meeting which is scheduled to be held at Central Methodist church on Thursday, September 26. R. R. Bruner, Chairman of the Business Gifts, reports light res ponse on the part of business firms. “We must support our Scouting program. Our youth neeeds the training offered by Scouting. We can help build a strong America by supporting and promoting the Boy Scout program,” The Bell Ringer March to sup port Mental Health in Newberry will be held tonight (Thursday) between the hours of 7:00 and 8:30. This time will be known as the ”90 Minutes of Concern for the Lost Children of Mental Ill ness”. An army of over 100 work ers will aid in Collecting the con tributions in the city of Newberry. While they are collecting tonight a number of local churches will ring their bells to remind citizens of the city that they are asked to give to Mental Health. It has been suggested that each family re member the “Lost Children” with mental illnesses at meal times for the past two weeks. By placing a dime a day on their tables for these two weeks, a family will have a contribution of $1.40 to give; by placing a dime on the table at each meal, a family would contribute $4.20. In the city of Newberry, Mayor Layton made the first contribu tion of this year to the City Chair man, the Rev. Robert E. Long. Mayor Layton said “l his is a cause worthy of the concern of all people of Newberry, and I hope that each family will give generously”. Tuesday night there was a mass meeting of all the workers for tonight’s March. At that time, fi nal plans were made, and work ers’ kits were given out. Captains of Wards and of Teams were an nounced as follows: Ward One Captain, Mrs. Ralph Whitaker as sisted by Team Captains Mrs. L. M. Lipscomb, Mrs. J. R. Williams, and Mrs. Claudia Hinson; Ward Two Captain Fulmer Wells assist ed by Team Captains Mrs. Martyn Cavanaugh, Mrs. V. W. Rinehart and Mrs. Charles Dukes; Ward Three Captains P. K. Harmon as sisted by Team Captains Mrs. P. K. Harmon, Mrs G. P. Lester Jr., and Miss Shirley Aughtry; Ward Four Captain Mrs. R. G. Brown assisted by Team Captains Mrs. T. E.

Hendrix, Mrs. Bob Creekmore, Miss Martha Creekmore; Ward Six Captain, Mrs. Jim Hickson assist ed by Mrs. J. N. Parr, Mrs. O. K. Brown and Mrs. J. C. Eargle. It was announced that these captains and all of their canvass ers would make their contributions before they go out tonight. The families of Newberry are asked to aid the canvassers to night by leaving their porch lights on between the hours of 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. This will help them in moving from place to place in their march. Residents are also asked to give generously to the “Lost Children”. Lutherans Plan New Building Next Sunday will be a big day for members of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer. The pastor, the Rev. Henry A. McCul lough Jr., states that at the close of the morning service, the 1964 budget will be presented for con gregational action, and at seven o’clock in the evening an open meeting will be held on the dis cussion and plans for the new church building, the construction of which is expected to begin by late November. The total amount raised so far for the construction is over $127,- 000. Backfield Coach Horace Turbeville, Head Coach Harvey Kirk land and Line Coach Red Burnette are looking on the bright side— and hoping for the first victory of the season as the Newberry Col lege Indians meet the Indians of Catawba College Saturday night at Setzler Field. Kick-off time is 8 p.m. (Photo by Nichols). COUNTY FAIR WILL BEGIN OCTOBER 7 The young in age and in heart are looking forward to October 7: the date when the gates swing op en for the 1963 Newberry-Saluda County Fair at the American Le gion Fairgrounds in Newberry.

(Sunphoto) SCMA President Urges Women To Be More Active In Politics Dr. Robert Wilson, president of the South Carolina Medical Asso ciation, spoke at the luncheon which concluded the executive board meeting of the Auxiliary to SCMA here last Wednesday, and urged the wives of physicians from throughout the State to help the Association in reaching some of the goals it has set. “One of the most urgent pro grams on which the South Caro lina Medical Association has em barked is that of accident preven tion,” Dr. Wilson said. “This could certainly be most rewarding as well. We have urged legislation prohibiting the sale of non-mag- netic BB pellets, because their re moval from critical areas such as the eye is much more difficult and hazardous procedure than is the case when magnetic metal is in- ) volved. In the ficH of highway ac- I cident prevention, we have endors ed the use of radar as a means of furthering highway safety, we have recommended and urged the more widespread use of s e a t- belts, and we have supported a driver re-examination law. None of these measures has been enact ed into law as yet,” the speaker said, “but we hope for their intro duction in the next session of the Legislature. If you can help us secure the passage of these meas ures, it will be a distinct service to your children, your families, your community and to your selves.” Dr. Wilson urged the Auxiliary members to give active support to the SCALPEL, political organi zation fl(f the SCMA, and to take an active part in the next cam paign when it comes. “There can be no excuse whatever for not supporting our friends and fight ing our enemies, regardless of party,” he said, “and if you have any difficulty at all in deciding which side to support, perhaps your husband might be of some help, but I do think that you could make up your own mind a- bout this.” Dr. Baker reminded the group that while the “liberalists” on the national level are giving their at tention to other matters at the moment, “You may be sure that the medicare proposals have not been forgotten. They will probably be pushed again next year. How ever, there is little that you can do about this except to exert what ever pressure you can on your local representatives in Congress, and all of the cogent arguments Mrs. John Aman Service Today Mrs. Mary Whittington Aman, 63, wife of Dr. John A. Aman, died Tuesday morning at her home on Reid street after a long illness. She was born in Washington, D. C., daughter of the late Elmer M. and Mary Cusic Whittington.
