KEEP IT OPEN
As will be noted elsewhere on
inis pajte, the National Guards
men will be off to camp at the
bripht and early hour of 5:20 a.m.
Sunday morning. For the past
year or so, the convoy has had a
little trouble getting on the way
because some of those who bring
is
Operating Engineers Union
paid $00 a day to tend a single ;
electric heater. The cheapest la- j
bor during the construction period !
at the fair was $4.50 per hour for ;
unskilled laborers—with time and
a half after 35 hours—in the case j
of electricians, after 25 hours per j
week. Builders of the concessions
sav that tne union labor “dawdled”
the guardsmen out to the armoiy j on {j n order to run into the
and wait until the con\o\ departs j (,yortime pav periods,
block the drive-way, making it al- tginL- thv- gf,
most impossible for the convoy
to get off on time. Guard officials
realize that wives and sweethearts
are, perhaps, reluctant to see their
men leave, but they ask the coop
eration of those who remain at the
armory in seeing that the drive
ways are not blocked. This will be
greatly appreciated by already ha
rassed convoy leaders, who have
trouble enough as it is getting a
bunch of sleepy, reluctant civil
ian-soldiers off on time without
the added task of having to direct
civilian traffic.
FAMILIAR PATTERN
I read that the average age of
the world’s greatest civilizations
has been 200 years. These nations
progressed through this sequence:
From 'Bondage to spiritual faith;
from Spiritual faith to great
courage; from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance; from
abundance to selfishness; from
selfishness to complacency; from
complacency to apathy; from
apathy to dependency; from de
pendency back again to Bondage.
In 16 years the United States
will be 200 years old. Although
the cycle is not inevitable—even
this November COULD begin a re
versal of the trend—unless the
thinking citizens of this country do
somethirig to stop the increasing
concentration of power in Wash
ington, it will take less than the
“average” of 200 years for the
citizens of this nation to be back
to Bondage.
Those folks think they have it
had now, having the union tell
them what they must pay and how I
many they must hire; just wait j
’til Bobby Kennedy gets that Civil
Rights bill in his little fist and j
stai'ts telling them how many of
what race and religion they have to i
hire. Won’t THAT he fun!
THE COURT
The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States goes on its merry w r ay
usurping the power of Congress
to make laws. It apparently has
heard so often that the Black
Monday decision of 1954 is “the
law of the land” that it takes upon
itself the prerogative of “passing
laws” by its peculiar way of in
terpreting the Constitution of the
United States. Surely the drafters
of the Constitution must not be
only turning in their graves, but
groaning ceaselessly at the man
ner in which the rights of the tre
mendous majority are being com
pletely denied because of the whin-
ings of v hat is often a criminal,
treasonous minority.
Congressman Bryan Dorn is jus
tifiably irked at the latest caper
of the Court in its ruling that
bodies of state legislatures must
be based on population. Says Mr.
Dorn: “This decision is a long step
toward not only Federal dictator
ship and concentration of power
in Washington . . . but it is a
long step toward Federal dicta
torship by the Supreme Court in
Washington—a dictatorship by un
elected Federal officials, appointed
for life . . . The power of the
Congress has been usurped by the
Supreme Court . . . Individual
liberty is being usurped and de
stroyed by the Supreme Court. The
Supreme Court is leading the way
to total concentration of power in
Washington, conformity and col
lectivization of American society.
“This Congress must act before
it is too late to preserve the Con
stitution of the United States, and
safeguard the rights of the States,
our local governments, and the
liberties of our people.”
A REMINDER
No doubt the President will have
his Civil Rights bill signed into
law in time for all the Fourth of
July oratory and perhaps soon af
ter that we will be spared, for a
while, of all the political hogwash
which has accompanied the debate.
I am sick to the point of nausea
hearing the left wing politicians
invoking the name of Abraham
Lincoln in all of this mess and I
wish someone would remind the
Hubert Humphreys and the Ken
neth Keatings of just what Abra
ham Lincoln did say, and of what
90% cf the politicians of today
would say if they had the intest
inal fortitude to do so.
I borrow this quotation from
Workman’s book, “The Case for
the South.” In 1858, in a debate
with Stephen Douglas, Lincoln
said:
“I will say then that I am not
nor ever have been in favor of
bringing about in any way the
social and political equality of the
white and black races—that I am
not, nor ever have l>een, in favor
of making voters or jurors of Ne
groes, nor of qualifying them to
hold office, nor to intermarry with
white people; and I will say in
addition to this that there is a
physical difference between the
white and black races, which, I
believe,, will forever forbid the
two races living together on terms
of social and political equality.
And inasmuch as they cannot so
live, while they do remain together
there must be the position of sup
erior and inferior, and I as much
as any other man am in favor of
having the superior position as
signed to the white race.”
That, Mr. Humphrey, is what
President Lincoln thought about
the situation.

THE FAIR
I haven’t been to the World’s
Fair and don’t intend to go, but
from all I can read about it, if you
plan to go, and plan to see any
thing and eat anything while you
are there, you’d better be sure
your pocketbook is bulging with
something other than credit cards.
Stories I have read of the prices
charged to see some of the ex
hibits and to eat at various res
taurants seemed outrageous. A
friend brought an article by which
seems to answer the question as to
why prices should be skyhigh at
the Fair. Seems that many or
most of the Fair’s concessionaires
are having to pay workers $500,
$600 or more a week. You guessed
it—it's all union labor. A union
stage hand, for instance, gets $5.30
per hour plus time and a half for
all over 35 hours per week, plus
double time for Sundays and holi-
days, and one such employee draws
$680 per week. A member of the
The Rev. Samuel Marvin At
kinson assumed his duties as min
ister of Central Methodist Church
on Wednesday, June 24. He re
placed the Rev. Thurman H. Vick
ery who went to the Myrtle Beach
Methodist Church also on June 24.
Mr. Atkinson was born in Mar
ion County and educated in the
public schools of Mullins. He grad
uated from Wofford College in
1929 and received his Bachelor of
Divinity degree from Duke Uni
versity in 1932.
Appointments in the South
Carolina Methodist Conference he
has served include Waccamaw Cir
cuit, Beaufort, Providence, Bam
berg, Abbeville, Kingstree, and
Bennettsville. During the past six
years he has served as District
Superintendent of the Lake City
District. He moves to Newberry
from Lake City. He has been very
active in the South Carolina Meth
odist Conference; he has served on
the following boards of the confer
ence: Education, Ministerial Train
ing and qualifications, Missions,
Conference Missionary Secretary,
and at present he is a member of
the Board of Trustees of Wofford
College.
Mr. Atkinson is married to the
former Miss Annie Laurie Bell of
Wampee, S. C. They have two
children: Samuel Marvin, Jr. who
is a resident doctor at Duke Hos
pital, and a daughter, Mrs. Charles
Mays III, who lives in Germany
with her family.

The Red Cross Bloodmobile
will be at Mayer Memorial Lu
theran church on Drayton St.
on Wednesday, July 1, between
the hours of 2 and 7 P. M. The
quota for the visit is 100 pints.
Prospective donors are advised
that hot weather should be no
deterrent, since the church is
air conditioned.
The possibility of losing the
blood bank has arisen again,
since the county was 300 pints
short of its quota during the
year which just ended. More
than half of the blood used in
this county last year had to be
obtained from other sources.
L. A. Richardson, chairman of
the Newberry County Red Cross
Chapter, stated today that it is
imperative that the Bloodmobile
meet its current quota and he
urges donations which will help
make up last year's deficiL

Whitmire Hosiery
Announces Plan
For Profit Sharing
A profit sharing retirement plan
for hourly wage employees of C.
W. Anderson Hosiery Company,
Dapper Hosiery Mills, and Whit
mire Hosiery Mills was announced
today by the companies’ President,
C. W. Anderson.
The new program will provide
retirement benefits for non-salar-
ied employees who are eligible un
der the terms of the plan. The
entire cost of the plan will be paid
by the companies.
“The purpose of the profit shar
ing retirement program is to pro
vide additional security for our
employees and their families and
to create greater awareness of the
importance of profits and of our
employees’ contribution to profit
able operations,” Anderson said.
Details of the plan developed for
the mills by Charles F. Waldron,
Trust Officer of M. S. Bailey &
Son, Bankers, were not disclosed,
pending full explanation to em
ployees ai the three locations.
However, it u understood the plan
is effective June 30, and that each
year, subject to profits exceed
ing a minimum level, a percentage
of the net profits will be contribut
ed by the Companies to a fund
held in trust and invested by the
Trust Department of the local
bank for benefit of the participat
ing employees.

Names of all cash contributors,

pressed appreciation to the follow
ing merchants who donated sup
plies for the turkey supper: Col
onial stores, A and P Supermarket,
Layton Bros grocery, Newberry
Coca-Cola Bottling Company and
the Newberry Sun.
In making the final report, Mrs
Sanders said: “The project is cer
tainly an outstanding example of
community cooperation. It would
not have been accomplished in so
short a period without the volun
tary help of many individuals and
voluntary contributions o: inter
ested citizens. A special word of
thanks is due the Newberry City
Council for allowing city employ
ees to work on the project with
out charge. This saved the com
mittee several hundred dollars.
“The Boundary Bell Memorial
is a tribute to all teachers,” she
said. “It is the hope of the com
mittee that it will be regarded by
teachers, past, present and future,
as concrete evidence that their
work with the youth of our city
is appreciated.”
