4 m PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 1964 Mrs. Baker Leads U. D. C. Program For the February meeting of Drayton Rutherford chapter, in the home of Mrs, Mike Youmans, illness prevented the attendance of two important officers—Mrs. E. E. Westwood, the President, and Mrs. L. .G. McCullough, the Treasurer. Mrs. R. D. Wright, first Vice- President presided, and Mrs. L. C. Floyd reported for the Treasurer. Mrs. R. B. Baker, the Chaplain, conducted the Ritual and she was also leader for the historical per iod, her subject being ‘‘The Sub marine Hunley of the Confederate NaTy.” As a background she gave much interesting information as to the heroic efforts of the Confed erates to acquire blockade runners, to buy fighting ships from Eng land, such as the “Florida” and “Alabama”, whose exploits are almost unbelievable—Moffat of e former and Semmes of the latter. The South having always been an agricultural section, her equip ment for a war was meager in the extreme—no shipyards, no ar senals, no powder factories — almost nothing except men of in domitable courage and natural ability. Pre-eminent among this class was H. L. Hunley, whose one idea was to invent something with which Northern ships could be destroyed by attacking them from the bottom and blowing them up. As early as 1862 he planned a lit tle craft that would have a crew of three and an armament of gun powder, put out to meet Farragut as he came up the Mississippi, but it and its crew went down. Again in 1863 he designed a torpedo boat but this sank on a trial run, no lives lost. ^Another Hunley was built and brought to Charleston, armed with a copper cylinder filled with gun powder and towed by a 200 foot rope In Charleston was the Honsatanic, a newly launched s’oop-of-war. The plan was to rmash the torpedo into her mag azine. All on the Hunley went down as did some of the crew of the Housatanic. The bodies of Hunley and two of his men are buried in a plot in Charleston and marked “Hunley Circle.” Business was then taken up. The minutes of the January meeting were read and approved. Mrs. Floyd then read the various com munications. among them a letter from Congressman Dorn offering to send interesting historical arti cles to chapter members. He also sent a photo of the recent, com memoration of Gen. Lee’s birth day anniversary in the capitol in Washington. This will go into the chapter scrapbook. Members re ported an enjoyable Lee »>irthday program at the High school and an impressive address by Senator Hawkins. Certificates of Mem bership had been received for Mrs. Jack Jennings and Mrs. C. B. Carlisle. Mrs. Elmer Shealy reported for the C. of C. that Mrs. M. F. Bowler had an interest ing January meeting with her group. The Ridge District meeting on March 17 in Greenwood was dis cussed and definite plans will be made at the next meeting for just as many as possible to attend. At the last meeting, the matter of the Chapter becoming 100 per cent in subscriptions to the UDC Magazine was discussed, to be act ed on in February. The vote was unanimous in favor. After the business the members were invited into the dining room where, from a lovely table, Mrs. Youmans assisted by Mrs. Richard Baker and Mrs. Cannon Blease, the associate hostesses, served ham biscuits, cheese straws, nut- date cookies and fruit punch. The hostesses for March are Mesdames Jenkins, Carlisle and J. M. Pool.

We invite our friends to come to see as there. SUMMER’S DRIVE-IN & SERVICE STATION Tom Summer Owner Rev. ROBERT H. HARPER COLUMBUS DAY T HERE is a story of an English man who took a train for New Orleans from New York. Accus tomed to the short railway jour neys of his “tight little isle,” it was not very long before he asked the conductor how long it would be before they reached New Or leans. Evasively the conductor replied that it would be a long time. JUST A THOUGHT: There is nothing like travel to make one appreciative of the fact that home is a pretty good place after all and, as well, that there is a great, wide world out beyond our own city limits. All day long the train rushed on, across several states each one of which is about the size of England. Then night came on and the train rushed ahead through the darkness. In the early morn ing Mobile was reached, and sev eral hours later, running close to the gulf coast and crossing the deep Rigolets, one of the outlets of Lake Pontchartrain, and New Orleans was sighted. When the grand train rolled into the new Union Station and the English man had taken a taxi for a hotel, the car was held up by a parade. When the visitor inquired about the parade, the driver said it was Columbus Day. “Columbus Day, eh? What did he do?” “Discov ered America? How could ’e have missed it?” May the doubtless exaggerated story remind us that we have a great country indeed reaching from sea to shining sea, and from the Great Lakes on the North to the gulf of Mexico on the South. “Breathes there a man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said, ‘this is my own, my native land’ ?” FOOTBALL A number of years ago, someone wrote in a college magazine in evident paraphrase of a verse of the Psalm of life the following Lives of football men remind us That they write their names in blood And, departing, leave behind them Half their faces in the mud. JUST A THOUGHT: On the field of sports and in the game of life, the best play ers are those who observe the rules of fair play and good, honest competitiosu But it can now be said that our football stars come out of the field of glory with whole faces, thanks to the helmets , they wear and a more open play as compared with the old days. The changes in rules concerning substitutions of players are evi dently designed to give a team with fewer men a better chance with an opponent that can place any of several teams on the field. Short of actual warfare and a situation of life and death it does not seem very sportsmanlike to employ several different teams to win a game against an institution that can put a small number of men in the field. The personal foul stiff draws a stiff penalty and this is as it should be. For a personal foul is an ugly violation of the good sportsmanship which the game should promote rather than de stroy and it makes the flayer against whom the penalty is as sessed a kind of traitor to his bun mates. Thus the display ef ugly temper becomes a costly indul gence. Come on, let us go to the game. State Champs Shoot Here This past week Billy and Laura Pate from Greenville visited the Newberry Gun club and shot skeet. Billy is the State Champion and his wife is ladies state cham pion. On the local scene, Walter Cousins, 45x50 was high with Dr. King on his heels with 44x50. Henry Sowell hit 43x50, Abe Chap man 41x50, Dr. E. J. Dickert 40x 60; Jim Todd, 21x25; T. L. Hicks 34x50; Billy King, a youngster just beginning to shoot, 11x25. Scores of some shooters who were missed last week were Wyman Cook 49x50; Dr. Dickert 42x50; Dr. King 43x50; Arthur Wicker 14x25; Heyward Mills 20x25; Rob ert Hawkins 39x50 and Billy O'Dell 46x50. The past Sunday saw targets as difficult as one could find, with a gusty wind making the birds tricky and unpredictable. The jumping, diving, climbing targets make the game even more fun. ac cording to skeet fans. BY THE WAY . . . (Continued from page 1) black, and support a vast Medicare program on 1-2 of one per cent of $5°00 is to indulge in fancy day- d ;aming. If Medicare passes in its pres ent form, it would not be a year before there would be agitation to lower the age limit to 62, for af ter all, a person may claim social security benefits now at age 62. Makes sense, doesn’t it. Then, when the age is lowered that much some enterprising liberal will sud denly discover that the young married folks of the country aren’t making nearly as much as was originally thought, and surely they need help with their medical bills and those of their children— and we can’t leave out the ones in-between. If I were a gambler, I would bet that if Medicare pass es the Congress this year, it will not be 10 years until the entire population is included in the pro gram. As the age limits go down, the tax is bound to go up. When the government is getting 20 per cent or more of your salary for social security, 20 per cent or more for income tax (don’t let the election year tax cut proposal fool you), and when you consider how much you pay in State and local sales and real estate taxes, plus all hidden taxes, it is easy enough to see that you will have no choice but to depend on federal aid for just about everything you need. When that day comes—and at the present rate it won’t be long, —when your entire lives are con trolled by the long arm of the Federal government, you can re member that you have only your selves to blame because YOU put into office the men who vote for these welfare programs, men like Sen. Olin D. Johnston; you do not write to let your Congressman and Senators know how you feel about legislation. Because of your apathy you can blame your eventual loss of freedom on no one but your self. Medicare has not yet come to a vote in the current session of the Congress. There is still time to write those letters—especially to Senator Johnston. How about do ing it—TODAY!
