City And County Show Progress During Post Year By MRS. A. H. COUNTS The citizens of the city and county and of the rural, sections are becoming more linked together as the years pass on. It began ov er a year ago when all sections of the county were equipped with fire fighting equipment. A closer togetherness was shown this year during a Civil Defense and Rural Fire Defense program when a large crowd viewed a 65 unit parade through the city com posed of the county’s ten rural fire trucks, together with departments from Newberry, Whitmire and Prosperity. The Civil Defense Day was wit nessed by the governor and other high officials of the state. Lieut. Gov. Robert McNair commended those who volunteered to serve in Civil Defense and fire protection. He termed Newberry as unparalled in South Carolina and the South east and the two as one of the finest Civil Defense and Rural Fire Organizations anywhere. He recognized that Newberry along with York county has served as pioneer in this field. A large portion of the credit for the rural fire engines goes to T. B. “Dad” Amis. A1 Busby, County Agent, states that dry weather combined with somewhat lower prices resulted in less farm income for Newberry County during the year. Continued egg production reached about two million dollars and ranks as No. 1 in the state, he said. The dairy in come amounted to over two million according to Mr. Busby who fur ther states that the sale of poul try, livestock and dairy products now accounts for 80 percent of the county’s farm income. Henry L. Parr’s Jersey Herd at Headspring Farm continued for the second year to produce the highest average production of a herd its size in the United States. Mr. Parr, also during the year disposed of one of his fine bulls which had broken a national rec- cord, for an outstanding price. The three Parr children, Mary, Henry and Calvin, have made outstand ing records with their animals in 4-H Club work at the various fairs in this section. Steve Lovelace, a high school student at Mid-Carolina High School, was a lucky winner with his “Miss Lucky” six year old Guernsey cow. At the Piedmont Interstate Fair in Spartanburg in competition with 4-H and FFA members from ten counties in South and North Carolina Steve won the big Fitting and Show manship Contest thereby winning a thousand dollar scholarship to any college in South Carolina. During his showing at Newberry and the State Fair he won $280 in premiums, a trip to Chicago, 111. In addition to all the prizes “Miss Lucky” produced over 11,- 000 pounds of milk, during the year. During the past years Steve has won over sixty first places. Wayne Satterwhite, another 4-H Club member, won a $500 college scholarship at the state 4-H meet ing at Clemson College, also won Tractor Operator’s Contest and represented the state at the Rural Atlantic Exposition in Richmond, Va. The Greenville Touchdown Club gave a trophy to the Newberry High School Squad for fine sports manship exhibited by the students in a championship game at Easley. Dr. W.

BY EARL WILSON “For my people have commit ted two evils: they have forsak en me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cis terns, that can hold no water.” Jeremiah 2:13. The nation Israel had every op portunity under the sun to be the greatest nation ever to exist. It is true that it was surrounded by many powerful nations, and that fighting became necessary often in order to preserve its own exist ence, but Israel had God on its side. What more could they want? A study of the -Bible leads us to see that even with the blessings which were theirs, they wanted the things of other nations. It is here that our text takes place. The nation Israel did at least two evils. They deserted God. There is no greater sin in all the world. Many times we think our evils will go unnoticed, but they never do. They act as barriers between God and ourselves. The second evil they did was to become contented with the devices created by their own hands. A close look at Israel is like looking into a mirror for our na tion is also deserting God and worshiping a system of govern ment that is man-made. In this past Christmas season, in many of our states, there were no Christmas carols sung; the story of the birth of our Lord was not read; and there was no recogni tion of God’s presence in any fash ion. Like Israel, there was a time when the United States of Ameri ca considered itself a God-fearing nation. Today we have become a nation ashamed to let the world know that we give any thought to God. We have built for ourselves many devices that make our ene mies stand up and take notice, but like the cisterns of Israel, they will not hold water. They will last about as long as a cheap Christ mas toy on Christmas day. The Bible says, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.” Are you listening?
