JR. 1103 CALDWELL STREET NEWBERRY, S. C. Auxiliary Hears Central Pastor The Auxiliarj to the Newberry County Medical Society met at the home of Mrs. Gurnie Summer on Monday, April 13 with Mrs. E. Gordon Able as hostess. The meeting was called to or der by the president, Mrs. James Underwood and the Auxiliary Pledge repeated by all. Mrs. Elbert Dickert, program chairman, in troduced Rev. and Mrs. T. H. Vick ery. Rev. Vickery is pastor of the Central Methodist Church. He brought an interesting program on Religion and Medicine. Some of the highlights of his talk were, “There is much to be accomplished through doctors and ministers working together. Many people come to doctors who really need a stronger faith to live by. Likewise, many people consult a minister when in need of physical healing. Medicine and the church working together should encour age a dynamic philosophy of health which would enable every citizen to find a way of life based on moral principles and on a sound knowledge of the factors which promote health and well-being.” “There has been a marked blos soming of interest in one another on the part of representatives of medicine and religion. This has been brought about through a growing awareness that the tra ditional areas of concern of minis ters and doctors actually overlap j at a number of significant points. “One of the largest areas of mutual concern between doctors and ministers has been in the field of psychiatry or mental health. Today, many ministers are spending extra years in school in order to be better qualified in the field of psychology and mental health. A minister, so trained and a doctor working together can do much toward treating the physical condition and restoring the men tal health of a patient.” At the conclusion of this very interesting talk, Rev. and Mrs. Vickery were guests of the Aux iliary at a delicious luncheon.

Gardens Now At Peak Of Beauty Charleston’s Famous Gardens are at the height of their beauty and are expected to remain so for at least two weeks. Unless abnormally hot weather sets in, blooms, now in profusion, will remain so, and later varieties will augment the display. The trio of gardens—Magnolia, Middleton Place and Cypress— have offered their finest season in recent years. Thousands of visitors have viewed the remarkable dis play. The influx of tourists, described by innkeepers as gratifying, has assured maximum attendance at the attractions which have drawn them to Charleston. Walking tours, art exhibitions and the opening of unique and historic residences have been the center of attention. As always, however, the gardens are a focal point. Magnolia Gardens offers perhaps the greatest variety of spring flowers in the Carolina Lowcoun- try. The collection of azaleas and camellias there has drawn the at tention of botanists throughout the world. Approximately 10 miles from Charleston, the estate lies off the Scenic Highway that leads to Summerville. A few miles farther along the same route is Middleton Place, acknowledged to be the finest for mal garden in this country. Begun in pre-Revolutionary days, the handsome property is considered by many to be the great show- place of the trio. Cypress Gardens, acquired re cently by the city as a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin R. Kitt- redge Jr., derives its name from the giant moss-laden trees that rise from ebony lakes bordered by an unparalleled collection of aza leas and spring flowers. Cypress lies off Route 52, north of the city. The gardens are open daily from 8:00 a.m. to sundown.

HARPER AWAY PESSIMISM TT IS quite possible that the world is better than the major ity of people believe it is. When it is considered that the wondrous news media of the present bring us daily reports from nearly every quarter of the world and from multiplied millions of peo ple, we did not hear from years ago, the small percentage of wrongdoers among the millions of people over the world may not seem so ominous. JUST A THOUGHT: The eye will sometimes de ceive; particularly if it is turned in the direction of some thing one really doesn’t want to see. Let us also consider the fact that the news media may bring us evidences of goodness to block out the stories of wrong. Think of that coal-mine disaster in which three men were trapped 300 feet under the earth, how it drew many neighbors and friends to labor day and night for the rescue. Aside from spe cial incidents which might be mentioned further, consider the agencies of assistance and heal ing that are employed around the earth, such as the Red Cross and the missionary establishments of the different churches. So let us thank God that the sit uation with ourselves and the world is as well as it is. There is a story of Booker T. Washington to the effect that he was speaking about pessimism one day when one of his hearers took a vague view of pessimism but assured Brother Washington that he wasn’t so sure about as pessimist but in the fall, when the sweet potatoes were in the bin, and the frost was on the fields, he was a POSSUMIST. Let us be Possum- ists all the while. South Dealt. East and West vul nerable.
