C. 29108 THURSDAY, JUNE II, 1964 ♦ $2.00 Per Year By-Th£-Way ♦ ♦ ♦ By DORIS A. SANDERS NEVER TOO LATE Tom Anderson’s “Straig-ht Talk’’ in the May issue of S. C. Farm and Ranch Mag-azine is an address “To the Graduates of 1964.” It may be a little late appearing here, but it is never too late for graduates and for all Americans to read the words of a true American and pa triot—super-patriot, if you please, and in my book, that is a compli ment, and nothing to be ashamed of, as the liberal left-wingers would have the public believe. Mr. Anderson’s address follows: TO THE GRADUATES OF 1964: “Back in Ma»k Twain’s day, the word square was one of the finest words in our language, among the top ten on any lexicographer’s hit parade. You gave a man a square deal if you were honest. And you 1 gave him a square meal when he was hungry. You stood foursquare for the right, as you saw it, and square against everything else. When you got out of debt, you were square with the world. And that was when you could look your fellow man square in the eye. “Then a lot of strange charac ters got hold of this honest, whole some word, bent it all out of shape and gave it back to our children. Convicts gave it the first twist. To them a square was an inmate who would not conform to the con vict code. From the prisons it was flashed across the country on the marijuana circuit of the bopsters and hipsters. “Now everyone knows what a square is. He is the man who nev er learned to get away with it. A Joe who volunteers when he does- | n’t have to. A guy w'ho gets his) kicks from trying to do some thing better than anyone else can. A boob who gets so lost in his work that he has to be reminded to go home. A guy who doesn’t have to stop at a bar on his way home at night because he’s all fired up and full of juice already. A character who doesn’t have to spend his evenings puttering in a basement workshop and his week ends scraping the bottom of a boat because he’s putting all that el bow grease and steam into doing a satisfying job on the job he’s getting paid to do. A fellow who laughs with his belly instead of his upper lip. A slob who still gets all choked up when the band plays “America.” A square, and strict ly from Squaresville. “His tribe isn’t thriving too well in the current climate. He doesn’t fit too neatly into the cur rent group of angle players, cor ner cutters, sharpshooters and goof-offs. He doesn’t believe in opening all the packages before Christinas. He doesn’t want to fly now and pay later. He’s burdened down with old-fashioned ideas of honesty, loyalty, courage and thrift. And he may already be on his way to extinction. “This country was discovered, put together, fought for and saved by squares. It is easy to prove that Nathan Hale, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and almost anyone else you care to include among our national heroes were squares—by simply thinking what they might have said had they not been squares. “Nathan Hale: ‘Me spy on those British! Are you trying to be fun ny with the spies they catch? I’ll give you a newsflash, chum. They hang them.’ “Paul Revere: ‘What do you mean—me ride through every Mid dlesex village and town? And in the middle of the night yet. Why pick on me ? Am I the only man in Boston with a horse?’ “Patrick Henry: ‘Sure, I’m for liberty. First, last and always. But we’ve got to be a little realis tic. We’re a pretty small outfit. If we start pushing the British around someone is going to get hurt.’ “George Washington: ‘Gentle-1 Unofficial Democratic Primary Vote sued since. Nathan Hale said. T regret that I have but one life to give for my country’ in 11 of the old texts and in only one of the , new texts. “Patrick Henry said, ‘Give me ■; i liberty or give rne death’ in 12 out j of 14 earlier texts and in only two i of 45 recent ones. I “But John Paul Jones set the j record. He said, ‘I have not yet begun to fight’ in nine of the old books and in none of the now ones.” u. s. House PRECINCT The above classic is part of a recent speech by Charles H. Brow er, President of one of the world’s leading advertising agencies. And how extremely right he is! Our country today needs nationalism, patriotism, morality, courage, de dication and religion as never be fore. And these eternal verities— these necessities if we are to sur vive as a free people—should be taught from kindergarten through college. You are the best educated gene ration our nation has yet produc ed, say the educators and statis ticians. They don’t say what you ’re educated for. They mean that a higher percentage of students now graduate from high school and college than ever before, which really means very little. One of the first things many graduates should do as soon as possible is to unlearn the untruths they were taught by mistaken educators. Our “progressive educators” have been stressing “life adjustment” instead of the preservation of a free na tion. They have taught security, peace and brotherhood, but left out duty, honor and country. When American U-2 spy Powers faced enemy trial recently, he sav ed his neck by pleading, “I didn’t. know what I was doing and if I ' had known it, I wouldn’t have done it ... I know now that I was risking world peace . . . My su periors were responsible.” Nathan Hale never saw his twenty-second birthday. He could have blamed George Washington and probably have lived to a ripe old age. Probably neither Nathan Hale nor Francis Powers are typ ical. What made their actions so different? The man himself, of course. There have always been heroes and cowards, and there al ways will be. But in addition, Na than Hale had something going for him that Powers did not have. In Hale’s day, it was square not to be patriotic. A staggering number of Ameri can soldiers—more than any other nation ever had—sold out their fellow American soldiers and their country in the Korean War. Not to save their lives, but to get bet ter treatment in prison camps, they licked the boots of their Chinese captors and made tape re cordings praising Communism. And why not? These spineless creatures were taught in school that patriotism is old-hat, that capitalism is wicked, that the wave of the future is a one-world, non-profit, socialist brotherhood. Speaking to young men who have chosen a lifetime of service to country and Constitution, one of history’s greatest generals, Douglas MacArthur, said: “Duty, honor, country: Those three hal lowed words reverently dictate what you want to be, what you Ward 1 —I Ward 2 Ward 3, No. 1 Ward 3, No. 2 Ward 4, No. 1 Ward 4, No. 2 Ward 5 Ward 6 Airport Bush River — C entral Chappells Dominick Fairview Garmany ------- ~i Hartford Helena — !

They are your rallying point to build cou rage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn . . . The unbelievers will say they are but words, but a slo gan, but a flambouyant phrase. Every pedant, every demagogue, every cynic, every hypocrite, every troublemaker, and, I am sorry to say, some others of an entirely different character, will try to downgrade them even to the ex tent of mockery and ridicule.” Youth needs the right kind of heroes.

These will be in addition to the two courses now underway. It is anticipated that another course for nurses aid/hospital or derly will be offered, due to the demand for such training as well as the anticipated demand for trained employees with the coun ty nursing home to be built in the near future. Due to the shortage of skilled bricklayers, it is hoped that enough applicants can be secured to begin a class in bricklaying. The Committee noted that a large amount of brickwork will soon be underway in Newberry, with the building of the nursing home, re- you would try someone else.

Brilliant, dedicated, courageous, patriotic, strong physically, morally and spiritually. Sadly, a man too great to be chosen our President. He has not faded away. He will never fade away, as long as “duty, honor, country” have meaning. God give us another MacArthur. mm On Saturday, June 6, William Elmer Shealy Jr. graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, majoring in Commercial and Graphic Arts.

AT MONTREAT FOR SUMMER Miss Lucy Senn is spending the summer months at her home at Montreat, N. C. STEP Program Said Excellent Glowing reports of the success of the Newberry-Saluda STEP Training Center at Mollohon school were given Monday at a meeting of the two-county STEP Committee. J. M. Marshall, representative of the state Technical Education Center, stated, “if I had no con nection with any of the centers, I would say we (in Newberry) are running head and shoulders above the others. The attitude was very good to begin with; it’s better now.” He urged the public to take a look at the Center and see what is going on. He also praised as “excellent” the three teachers for the two courses now underway, nurses aid-hospital orderly and landscape gardene-. City Manager Ken Riebe and Senator Jesse Frank Hawkins, committee members, reported on a recent visit to the school. Mr. Riebe spoke of the change of atti tude on the part of the students. “At first” he said, “it looked as though they might be interested only in the pay they were getting jfor going to school. The attitude has changed altogether,” he con tinued. “Now their main concern is learning, and it is amazing the amount they have learned in a little over five weeks.” About 60 percent of those at- I tending are receiving an allow ance, which averages about $28 per week. Dave Morison, chairman of the STEP committee, pointed out that Colony Industries, a subsidiary of a local manufacturing company, began with 16 sewing room em ployees, and expects to increase this number by 20. The committee asked that Mr. Marshall obtain permission, if possible, from the state committee to conduct a course in machine sewing. Mr. Morison stated that about $2500 had been spent to renovate the building, including a new roof on most of the building, improve ment of plumbing and cleaning. Permission was asked of the State committee to approve funds for a heating plant and, if possible, an air conditioning system. There are currently 39 students taking part in the STEP training courses. C. Griffith, Jr. and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene C. Griffith, procured the painting of the portrait to give to Mrs. Eugene S. Blease for her home during her lifetime and then to be hung in the Newberry coun ty courthouse. However, Mrs. Blease has expressed a wish that the portrait be hung at the next term of court, which is the first time that Judge Griffith has pre sided here since the death of Judge Blease. Eugene C. Griffith will pre sent the portrait, and Judge Griffith will respond with eulogy. Judge Blease and Judge Griffith practiced law together from 1924 until 1945, when Judge Griffith was elected judge of the Eighth Judicial circuit, except for a per iod when Judge Blease served on the Supreme Court, both as Asso ciate Justice and as Chief Justice. The law firm operated under the name of Blease & Griffith. The firm name was re-established in 1959 upon the admission to the bar of Steve C. Griffith, Jr. In 1962, Eugene C. Griffith, who was named for Judge Blease, joined the firm. The portrait was painted from pictures of Judge Blease and from information furnished the artist as Judge Blease looked when he went upon the Supreme Court and was in the prime of life. The artist was Gerald F. Tem pest, a native of Italy, who studied in Europe and in this country and married a native of North Caro lina. While he and his family con tinue to divide their time between Rome and this country, they are now living at Chapel Hill, N. C.
