THURSDAY, FEBUARY 6, 1964 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. SOUTH CAROLINA ARE YOU LISTENING? BY EARL WILSON "Neither do men light a candle and pat it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light sh shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:15-16. It has not been too many years ago that many of our homes did not have the luxury of electric lighting. They were dark and brab and very uncomfortable to live in because it was difficult to move about in them after the sun had gone down. With the coming of electricity into our homes our lives took on new meaning. Our dangers were revealed, our paths were made easy to follow, our hearts were cheered, and our health was refreshed. Jesus knew the value of having light in ones life and he taught us that if we have experienced that light we should allow it to shine through us so that others would gain ‘.ts advantages too. Much that is being done in the name of religion today is not al lowing the light of Christ to shine through. Many organizations claim to be based on God and that Bible, i but they are sworn to secrecy as far as sharing the light they claim to have gained with others. They have failed to hear Jesus say, "Let your light sh shine before men.” There are other groups that claim to have the truth but they limit that trutht to heirown mem bers. The other day I saw a sign that said, "Be a man, Join the Klan,” but I want to go on record here as having said that I believe that they who do so are living con trary to the wish and the will of God. For a man to know the truth and to cover it with a "bushel” or a sheet is sinful i nthe eyes of God. Jesus said that if a man knows the truth he must share it with other men in order that the name of God might be glorified. Praise God we have a Lord of whom we need not be ashamed. Let us covenant together to live so that he will not be ashamed of us. Are you listening? puts PEP where the pounds were ...you bet! Tastes better because it’s FORTIFIED!

NAME ADDRESS CITY PHONE Statewide Mortgage Corp 406 Howard Street Tel. 254-7875 Columbia, S. C. SPECTATOR . . . (Continued from page 2) ‘fat cats’ are paying the bill. That this is an ilusion should be plain. The basic 20 per cent rate ; brings in 87 per cent of the entire revenue from the present income taxx. It has been calculated, in fact, that a flat income tax of 23 1-2 per cent, with present ex- emptinos, would bring in all the revenue now brought in by the whole scale of graduated levies from 20 up to 91 per cent. If there were a flat proportion ate tax, each of us would realize that he, and not ‘the other fellow’ was paying his share of our huge Federal expenditures. Not until enough of us recognize this truth will there be any hope of holding those expenditures within reason able bounds.” An amazing feature of our Am erican policy appears to be to ac cept, acquiesce in and adopt as law any rattle brain idea of a President. I REMEMBER From Emil N. Schmidt, Chicago, Illinois: I remember, during the depression of the "30’s,” even the roomers in lodging houses seldom had occasion to eat pork chops or steaks, so when either cut of meat was served, each man would try to be first to latch onto the big gest slice. Sam, the B & O switchman was known as the fastest man on the draw. He could spear a piece of meat from under another’s food fork before you could wink an eye. He was an artist with the table harpoon. His talent was cultivated through living in rail road boarding houses, where only the fittest would dare reach for anything on the platter when chow time came along. One day Sam was carried away from the table in great pain be cause a new boarder by the name of Louie was just a teensy, weensy bit slower than Sam—and stabbed him in his lunch hook, just below the knuckles. Today, Sam cooks his own - meals at home, eats alone—and likes it. * • • From Dennis Wells, Rouses Point, New York: I am 76 years old and can remember in Vermont we wore high leather boots for winter. I also remember seeing my father run around the house barefooted, and into the snow, to relieve the chilblains which caused itching under the skin. Scratching did no good at all. I know—I had it, too. From E. F. i all, Hampshire, Illinois: I remember the days when the relationship between parents and children was not the same as it is today. Did mother and father under stand us? Of small concern that, did we understand them? That was what counted. If we came home complaining that teacher "didn’t understand us, was picking on us” the reac tion from parents went like this: "Better change your ways. Teacher runs tiie school. If she doesn’t, she’ll get fired.” No pampering child psychologist to read the bumps. Parents were parents, as God intended. Of course, we had our “free from duty” times, often at the week’s end we roamed the woods, carefree, until chore time, enjoy ing the wild fruits we found along the way. As we prepared to leave the house, mother would hand us a cloth sack and say, "Bring home some hickory nuts, walnuts, or butternuts.” These were stored for future enjoyment. During the cold days of winter, whei? we would say, “Mother, I want something to eat,” she would hand us the battered flat iron, a broken-handled hammer and a bowl of nuts. They were good, and satisfying, so much more than the present snack of soft drinks, po tato chips and a murder via T.V. If I may again cite that vener ated but disregarded bulwark of liberty, the Constitution of the United States, why should not the Congress restrict the Presidential prerogative to matters within the area of our national Government and stop this gallivanting practice of evangelizing the world, trans forming our own country into something Washington, Jefferson and Madison would not recognize; and for which Paul Revere would not sound the awakening alarm a- gainst the British. What does the average man in public life mean by improving ad- ucational facilities ? Do we need more teachers? We find some dif ference of opinion about that. Do we mean to try again the old-time method of drill, drill, drill? Life is like that, you know. Men try and fail, then try again. Some times men fall several times. Getting down to hard pan, as we used to say, are we willing to eliminate a lot of embroidery and get down to fundamentals? Are we teaching the eminent practic ality of Arithmetic and English, always remembering the use of words and the spelling thereof. All that means drill, drill, drill. What we need first and foremost is drilling in school work. We are becoming too dandified in educational work; life is real, life is earnest; yea, verily. People can’t even add a few figures; they must be pecked out on a machine. Years ago County Auditors had to prepare the Abstract of Property by sweat: No adding machines then. Go look at that book in the County Auditor’s office: machines now; but back yonder men could add figures. THENMIIII BUILDS MEN! SEE YOUR LOCAL U. S. MARINI RECRUITER BY MARY STONE North dealt.

Tops In Achievement Satterwhite received a spe cial achievement citation from Ford. He was top boy in the state. Living on a dairy farm, Satterwhite has naturally stressed that aspect of . 4-H ac tivity. He won the tractor operator contest at the 1963 State 4-H Club Roundup. At the Little International Show at Clemson College he was named highest individual livestock judge.
