FOR AHD ABOUT TEENAGERS Sometimes Friends Can Be Too Helpful By C. D. Smith PONT YOU THINK "THEY WOULD make A NICE COUPLE ? THE WEEK’S LETTER: “Last year I was going with a boy I liked very much and he liked me. I really don’t know what hap pened; but I think the kids at school trying so hard to get us to go steady were to blame for messing things up. One of my girlfriends helped so much he would even cross the street to avoid speaking to her. Anyway, ^ “P _ He had two girl-. .much and l know he likes friends since; but didn’t go with | too." either of them very long, I saw him at the fair and hoped he would make the first move. He did. Now my problem is to prevent friends from being too helpful. He is shy and so am I, so things aren’t too easy. Do you think it would be right for us to set down together and find out what went wrong? I like hfm vary OUR REPLY: Sit down and find out what went wrong. You will probably decide that both of you paid too much attention to other people and what they had to say. It happens all the time: friends, sincerely trying to be helpful, do more harm than good. Some peo ple enjoy trying to play the role of “matchmaker.’’ Haven’t you heard them say, “Don’t you think Joe and Jane make such a nice couple?’* They are sincere. They really mean it. The important thing, however, is for Joe to suit Jane and for Jane to suit Joe. Apparently, this is true with you and “him," so you really don’t have a serious problem. Sit down, talk about it, and de cide that you aren’t going to let what others have to say bother either cf you. As we said earlier, the important thing is how you feel about each other. “ problem y«B '••M* •r mu •bBBrTBtUa **•> ynr iBltar «• -*> *«•/ • “.’-f a/ , .r - ' - ..

Club Program On Folk Music The November meeting of the Newberry Music club was held in the home of Mrs. Marvin Rucker with Mrs. Pinckney Abrams, Miss Lorraine Paris and Mr. Darr Wise assi&ing the host and hostess. Mi6s Margaret P^ysinger, pres ident, opened the meeting by wel- comirfg Mrs.- Betty 'Raker Carter upon her return to active member ship in the dub. She then led the group reciting the National Collect. Mrs. Pinckney Abrams, hymn chairman, made some interesting comments about the hymn selected by the National Federation for November—“Now Thank We All Our God”, and led the members in singing it, accompanied by Mr. Wise. Miss Lorraine Paris, program chairman, presented Mrs. Carolyn Savco as program leader for the meeting, with her subject “Music From Folklore.” The current pop ularity of folk music was pointed out by Mrs. Savco as largely due to its appeal to man’s basic Heed to give expressions to his feelings —devotion to home and father- land, rapture in love, sadness at parting, joy in common things, humor, loneliness, comradeship and awe of death. The folk song is a product of the national group from which it springs, is largely anonymous and handed down from one generation to another, often without benefit of written music or words. By way of illustrating folk music Mrs. Savco was ably assist ed by Prof. William Boletta of the Newberry College faculty, Miss Sherry McClosky, a voice major at the college, and Miss Reagin contributed to the program with their guitar accompaniments. With remarkable versatility in languages Prof. Boletta sang numbers in Scotch dialect, Ger man, French, Italian, Norwegian, Russian and English with his own guitar accompaniment. Mrs. Savco joined him in some of these and also sang solo numbers—a song of the Irish Revolution and “The Riddle Song” of American origin. Miss McClosky sang “Green- sleeves” and “Black is the Color of my True Love’s Hair,” both ac companied by Mrs. Savco at the piano. • A typical work song “Little John Henry” was rendered by Miss Reagin with her own guitar ac companiment. She also sang “This Morning, This Evening, so Soon,” and “I wonder as I wan der”, the latter with her own ac companiment on the auto-harp. The entire club joined in singing two songs in German, one in French and finally the well known “He’s git the Whole World in His Hands.” Two of the songs used in the program were developed into symphonic themes by Tchaikovsky in his Fourth Symphony and his Capprocio Italian. Mrs. Savco demonstrated this by playing ex cerpts from recordings of these works. This was a very unique, inform ative program. Mrs. Savco and her assistants were cordially thanked and commended for their diligence in producing it. During the business portion of the meeting two resignations were reluctantly accepted and the cor responding secretary, Mrs. James C. Kihard, read a cordial letter froiji Miss Anne Howe, guest spekkdr at the October meeting. Miss Juanita Hitt gave an inter esting report of the meeting in October of the S. C. Federation’s Board of Directors. She also show ed examples of the work of some of her students in combining art with music. During the social hour delicious refreshments were served by the host and hostess. R8» FORT HOOD, TEX. (AHTNC). —Army Pvt. George R.

Executive Iron Curtain RECENTLY The New York Times quoted an unnamed State Department official as stating that Otto F. Otepka is “out of step with the times. We are not witch hunting any more. We have no security risks and he knows it.” MR. OTEPKA, a career se curity officer and nntil recently chief of tiie evaluation division of the State Department’s se curity office, has been fired. His offense was telling the truth to a U. S. Senate Committee. The truth he told proved that his superiors had not told the truth to the Committee. BY TELLING the truth to a Senate Committee, Mr. Otepka put his honor and loyalty to his country above “institutional loyalty”—that is, loyalty to the State Department. He refused to cover up. STATE DEPARTMENT of ficials treated Mr. Otepka’s sus pected “higher loyalty” with tactics consistent with the “lib erality” for which the Depart ment is so noted. They tapped his telephone, but they denied under oath that they had donfe ao. They bugged his office. They secretly collected the trash from his wastebasket. They put * “tail” on him. It was by these “liberal” and “progressive” methods that they proved the offense for which they fired him —telling the truth to the Senate. MR. OTEPKA admitted that he had told the whole truth to the Senate Committee, and he also admitted he proved that his superiors lied to the Com mittee by producing documents which were put in the Commit tee records. He denied some of the charges against him, but the State Department rejected his denial because his superiors con tradicted him. It mattered not to the State Department that those whose word the Depart ment preferred had lied to the Senate Committee, as is shown by the testimony by the Com mittee. MB. OTEPKA has been treat ed in worse than a shabby man ner. He has been railroaded with methods characteristic of a police state. It is the duty of the Senate and the American people to insure that he is not only reinstated and publicly ex onerated, but commended for his courage in sacrificing his Job to tell the truth. MUCH MORE is at stake in this matter than mere justice for an individual, as important as that is. The issue at the heart of the Otepka case is whether the Congress has the right and power to learn what the Execu tive departments are doing in administering the laws, or whether the Executive Branch can conceal its operations be hind “Executive privilege,” bet ter known as the “Executive Fifth Amendment.” IN 1951, President Truman issued an Executive Order pro hibiting employees of the Exec utive Branch from testifying before Congress with reference to certain matters. This order was nothing more than a claim of Executive privilege. Federal employees are given no choice by this directive — they are ordered not to testify. This Executive Order, however, flouts a law passed in 1948, which provides that “The right of per sons employed in the civil serv ice of the United States ... to furnish information to either House of Congress or to any committee or member thereof, shall not be denied or interfered with.” IT WAS this same claim of Executive privilege which pre vented the Congress from ques tioning the State Department employees who censored speeches by military personnel. It la now being invoked in an attempt to prevent a Senate Committee from finding oat whether the State Department is following the laws passed by Congress to protect the security of the na tion. This constitutes an attempt to withhold from Congress the only valid basis on which Con gress can legislate—the truth. IF THE EXECUTIVE Branch is successful in its plea of Exec utive privilege. Congressional investigations and hearings on the Executive Branch are fin ished. The Executive Branch will have successfully lowered its own iron curtain of secrecy around its conduct, and its Con stitutional bosses, the American People, will be shut out com pletely. This attempt to cover up raises the question “What is the State Department hiding?” and points up the pressing need for a full investigation of the State Department. ONE IRON CURTAIN is too many. Congress must at all costs prevent the Executive from lowering the second “iron curtain.” Sincerely, Chapman Dies At Lowman Home Charlie W. Chapman, 89, died Sunday morning at the Lowman Home in White Rock. Mr. Chap man was born and reared in New berry County and was the son of the late Henry H. and Polly Ann Fulmer Chapman.

Chap man of Chapin; and two grand children. Funeral services were conduct ed Monday afternoon at 4 p. ita. at St. tTohi}!s Lutheran Church by Rev. Donald LoadhoK and Revi J. K. Webb.
