C. 29108 THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1964 $2.00 Per Year By-The-'Wciy .. . b y doris a. sanders To Georgia wmmmm A NEW LOOK The State of the Union todry gives one little to be hopeful foi, as far as the future of this once great nation is concerned. et, piecing together an item of news here and there tends to give a little hope that perhaps, at last, the people are arousing them selves enough to know that if they don’t take action, and soon, the time will be too late. Despite the vote-grabbing, mo ney-grabbing antics of Senator Clin Johnston and Governor Don ald Russell (he., Greenville being declared a poverty area), indica tions are that South Carolinians are more self sufficient than some politicians want to admit, and some newspapers. Since the Anderson Independent has a very small coverage in this area, you perhaps are not aware of its unbelievable bias in present ing the news or the atrocious man ner in which it ridicules a person or thing with which it doesn’t agree. Shining examples of this may be seen any election time, but especially when Strom r hurmond or Bryan Dorn happen to be run ning. In the past election, when it bothered to mention that Bryan Dorn was in the congressional race, it depicted him as a callous individual who was a cross be tween the boogeyman and the de vil. Day after day unjust and un warranted and plain out-and-out misleading, deliberately misleading attacks were made against Bryan Dorn. For years we have referred to Anderson’s “Paper Curtain” for the poor Anderson folks didn’t have a chance to hear but one side of the news. But this year, the people of An derson made it their business to hear the other side; and they had the good sense to pay no heed to the slanderous attacks made by the Anderson Independent against Dorn. Dorn carried Anderson County. The Anderson Independ ent did go so far as to inform its readers that Dorn won the Con gressional race, but it did rot pub lish the vote by precinct, nor did it even tell its readers that Dorn carried Anderson County. And up in North Carolina we have another case of voters refus ing to listen to the leftwing press. Practically every newspaper of any size in the State w r as hot be hind Judge Preyer who led in the first primary for the Democratic nomination for governor. Judge Preyer led because he polled al most 100 percent of the Negro bloc vote. But he did not receive a majority of votes and in the sec ond primary, the peorde spoke their view of this man who was the sweetheart of the LBJ-iype Demo crats. By an overwhelming vote, they nominated Judge Dao Moore, spelling defeat for the liberal newspapers which had sought in every unfair way to prejudice the voters against Moore. Few people can more adequately sum up a situation in a few neat words than Jesse Helm, vice-presi dent of WRAL-TV in Raleigh. In an editorial of the air on June 23, prior to the second primary. Mr. Helms said: “The newspapers of North Caro lina will not quickly regain the respect of the public in the after- math of this campaign. Repeatedly they have exposed their prejudices, and their favoritism has slopped over like a tidal wave from the editorial pages into the news col umns. The dignity of a free press has been pummelled into a mean ingless pulp in a self-mutilating display of bias and distortion.” What has happened in Ander sen, and in North Carolina, is now happening throughout the coun try, in a desperate effort by the liberals and their controlled press to defeat Barry Goldwater. I don’t know how they will stop it, but I have yet to believe that they will allow Goldwater to re ceive the nomination. Yet the fact is that not only in the west and the South, but throughout the na tion, the grassroots voters—Re publicans, at least, and I would gunes many Democrats as well— are speaking out for Goldwater. A - presidential candidate just does- n’tvpicb up 710 delegates in the ^ South—they come from Illinois, from Indiana, from many points north of the Mason-Dixon line and •past, as well as west, of the Miss issippi. And he doesn’t pick them up merely by his stand on civil rights; he picks them up because he believes that it is time to re turn to a philosophy of less cen tral government, more states’ rights. So, there are encouraging signs. l If, by a miracle, they do let Gold- water have the nomination which ; he has fairly won, and if the peo ple of this country have the good sense to know that if the federal monster is not stopped this year, it will never be stopped, there is still a faint glimmer of hope. NO PICTURES I thought of taking my camera with me on the trip to Fort Stew art last weekend, but 1 remember ed the last time I took one of the trips—to Fort Gordon, there were so many photographers around you had to watch yourself to keep from bumping into cameras. I as sumed the same would be true at Fort Stewart—but I was sadly mistaken. The only time I saw a camera who when someone was making a picture of the Governor —so I did not get any pictures of our Guardsmen at work. In an article elsewhere in this issue, I have mentioned a number of the guardsmen I saw while there—there were many more, but space and a poor memory makes it impossible to name them all. Next time I’ll know—and I’ll have my camera ready!

THIS WEEK’S PRAYER Gracious Father, forgive us for the sin of discouragement. We confess that we have look ed too often at our failures and not enough on your victorious Cross; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. An announcement Tuesday from Fort Stewart, Ga. verified rumors among the National Guardsmen in summer traning there that some Newberry National Guard units would be asked to participate with the Regular Army in fall maneuv ers this year. The two units, 1st and 2nd Bat talions, components of the 163rd Artillery Group (Air Defense), are slated to train with the 11th Air Assault Division and the 82nd Airborne in Carolina Maneuvers in either September or October. The final decision has not been made whether or not to commit the Guardsmen to an other two week period of ac tive duty, but early indica tions reveal enthusiasm a- mong the troops. Plans at present call for the mission to be performed by one composite battalion of volunteers from each of the two units. The Guardsmen will participate in the fall maneuvers in lieu of next year’s summer training at Fort Stewart. Commenting on the invitation, Col. Lew R. Hoyt, commander of the 163rd Group, said “From a training point of view, this is the most beneficial thing that could happen to the units short of com plete mobilization for combat.” The units will train with full combat equipment for two weeks and will be maneuver ing for the entire period. Lt. Col. James W. Henderson, commanding officer of the 1st Battalion, said nearly 85 per cent of his unit has expressed a desire to join the “regulars” for another two weeks this year. “I’ve even had some of the re maining 15 per cent approach me to ask if I would intercede in their behalf to persuade their em ployers to let them go. Employ ment appears to be the major problem at the present time. Many of the men cannot afford another absence from their jobs this year,” Henderson said. The second Battalion has head quarters in Anderson and is com posed of a number of units in the upper part of the state. The 1st Battalion has its head quarters in Newberry, and has three units which would be af fected: Headquarters Battery, commanded by Capt. Wm. H. Leaphart; Battery A, commanded by Capt. Bobby Underwood; and Battery C. commanded by Capt. Emerson Jones. Although the announcement was not specific, it is assumed that Headquarters and Headquarters Battery of the 163rd Group would also be involved in the maneuvers, inasmuch as this is the superior and coordinating headquarters ov er the two Battalions. With head quarters in Newberry commanded by Col. Hoyt, Headquarters Bat tery is also located here and is commanded by Capt. Dick Vaugh an. It is unknown whether the fifth Newberry Guard unit, the 246th Army Band under the command of Chief Warrant Officer Charles Pruitt, would take part in the maneuvers. The combat readiness of the National Guard troops was consid ered a major factor in the deci sion by the regular army to ex tend the invitation. Major General Frank D. Pinck ney, the adjutant general, was “impressed and amazed” after visiting every headquarters of the Palmetto Guard in garrison at Fort Stewart Tuesday. The Adjutant General said that he saw a vast improvement in readiness of the units as reflected in the Army evaluation reports over the previous years. General Pinckney attributed the upswing to two factors: first, the weekend training assemblies which replaced evening drills had caus ed the men to go to camp better prepared. The drills had predicted success for the program based on the readiness of the Air Guard, which always has drilled ip this way. The second factor was the re cent reorganization of the Guard in which he was able to get for the state many units which were more appealing and carried better enlisted rank possibilities. “The men are happily satisfied,” Pinckney said. “I was determined when we went into these last re organization conferences that we would get rid of some of our low rank labor type units and come out with a more modern fighting force.” Lutheran Men To Meet Here The Lutheran Church Men of the Lutheran Church in America, South Carolina unit, wall hold their 8th annual retreat on July 10-11 at Newberry College. The theme as announced by Phillip T. Kelly, Jr., president is “Ministry of The Laity.” The program will begin on July 10 with registration at 6 P.M. This will be followed by a banquet with the Rev. Harry Weber, Newberry College, as guest speaker. Following the ban quet will be a fellowship hour and period of personal meditation. The program Saturday will in clude devotions by the Rev. Henry A. Brandt, Superintendent of the Franke Home, Charleston. Dis cussion will be held on programs, projects, finances, contributor plan, mission gift fund, mission churches in S. C. and a panel on problems in L. C. M. in S. C. The retreat will close with an execu tive committee meeting. Victim Chapin House Blaze Fourteen-yea'-old Mary Stock- man of Chapin was found dead in the smoking ruins of her parents home Wednesday morning at 10:23 a.m. Her body was recovered by the Newberry and Prosperity Rescue Squads. The Little Mountain Rural Fire Department answered a call to the fire at 8:20 Wednesday morn ing. The two story residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. (Dick) Stockman, located about two miles from the Newberry County line and about 100 yards behind Chapin school, was discov ered on fire by neighbors who called the department. After ar riving at the scene, the Little Mountain Department requested assistance from the Prosperity and Pomaria Departments. It was later determined that Mary was in the house at the time of the fire, and the two rescue squads were called in. The young girl’s father, who is a teacher, was at work in Colum bia at the time of the fire. Her mother had gone to the Post Of fice and Mary was alone in the house at the time the fire occur red.

Mrs. John Mayer Rites Saturday Mrs. Maggie Roberts Mayer, 80, died late Frio y afternoon at Newberry Com Memorial Hos pital after a long illness. She had been in declining health for the past 10 years, but was seriously ill for the past several months. Mrs. Mayer was born and rear- 1 ed in Fairfield County, and was the daughter of the late Ephrim and Mary Berley Roberts. Early in life she united with Little River Baptist Church but for the past 60 years she was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church near Po maria. Mrs. Mayer is survived by her husband, John A. Mayer, Pomaria; one son, Malcolm O. Mayer, Po maria; two brothers, Harry E. Ro berts, Newberry and E. E. Rob erts, Pomaria; one sister, Mrs. W. D. Haiton, Pomaria; two great grandchildren, Dennis Keith and Stan Adam Mayer, Pomaria; and a number of nieces and nephews, j Funeral services were held Sat urday at 4:30 p.m. from St. John’s Lutheran Church with Rev. Donald Loadholt conducting the service. Burial was in the church ceme tery. Active pallbearers were E. R. Fellers, W. D. Hatton, Albert Mayer, Oneal Caughman, Herman Mayer, John E. Bayer and Ray Wicker. Many friends of Mrs. W. W. Hornsby Sr. stopped by to ex tend their congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of her 82nd birth anniversary on July 5th. They were greeted with warmth and affection which Mrs. Hornsby has display ed to her friends during her long lifetime. Born July 5, 1872 in Newber ry County, daughter of Thomas D. and Emma Paysinger Buz- hardt, Mrs. Hornsby was mar ried on November 4, 1896 to the late W. W. Hornsby. For many years after the death of her hus band, she remained in her home, spending much time with her flowers which she loves so much. Three years ago, when her health failed, she moved to the home of her only son and has since been a welcome addition to the family of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Hornsby and her only- grandchild, Nancy Hornsby. Mrs. Hornsby taught Sunday School at Central Methodist Church for sixty years, and even though she is not able to attend services of hex church now, she maintains an active interest in the church and all of its activi ties. Her faithful companion is her Bible which she holds in the pic ture above, and * hich she spends many hours reading. Although she is not bedrid den, Mrs. Hornsby’s physical condition does not allow her to get out, and in addition to find ing comfort in her Bible, she passes the hours listening to the radio and is happiest when in conversation with her friends. The long years she has lived have not impaired her mental capacity. She is alert and inter ested in all matters of local and national concern. Mrs. Hornsby regretted hav ing to give up her home but, when someone sympathized with her for having to live with a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hornsby was quick to let them know .hat no daughter could ever be kb der or more considerate than her daughter-in-law, Cora. “I love my family and I know they love me,” Mrs. H- nsby said. “What more could one ask?” And her family agrees: hav ing “Mother Hornsby” is no^ a duty, but a pleasure and, like her many friends, they are hop ing that she will live to cele brate many more birthdays.

Pinckney, the Adju tant General of South Carolina, some 50 civic and industrial lead ers from throughout South Caro lina traveled to Fort Stewart, Ga. last weekend to get a first-hand view of the South Carolina Nat ional Guard during summer field training. Of some 12 of 15 persons in vited from Newberry, only two made the long hot trip, but those from other areas agreed the trip was well worthwhile. Most of the visitors went by pri vate automobile, but this reporter along with visitors from Spartan burg, Rock Hill, Cheraw, Orange burg and Fairfax, decided to re lax and leave the driving to an expert at the wheel of the Nat ional Guard Bus, Chief Warrant Officer Rast from the Adjutant General’s Headquarters. Our e s- cort officer was Captain Lowman, now of Lexington, formerly of the Dutch Fork section, who said his old family homesite is now under the waters of Lake Murray. Fort Stewart is better known to the Guardsmen as “Swamp Stew art” and with good reason. The tremendous base—I am told that in one direction it is 70 miles from one end to the other—abounds in swamps, mosquitoes, pine trees and a very high humidity, altho I was told that the past week was one of the most pleasant ever ex perienced at Stewart. There are 6400 S. C. Guardsmen training at Stewart during this summer encampment and an item of economic interest is the payroll they will carry home, amounting to $1,200,000. Over 300 of the men are from the five Guard units in Newberry. Half of the troops were “in the field”—more properly designated as “in the swamps”—during the past week, where they fired the big guns and trained under sim ulated conditions. The remainder, including all Newberry Guards men, have their experience in the field this week. After a weekend of liberty, during which most of them made the 400-mile round trip to spend their off-time at home, the men left their camp area early Monday morning to set up their pup tents in the swamps prepara tory to waging all-out war against the aggressor. They were to return to camp today (Thursday). Fri day will be pay day for all the troops, and from then on, activi ties will be fairly light until the convoy gets ready to leave at the break of dawn Sunday morning. Everyone with whom I talked, from General Pinckney on down, feels this has been one of the best encampments at Fort Stewart yet. When visitors arrived at the base, they were met by someone from their home town unit, and assigned an “escort officer” to show them around and make their visit as pleasant as possible. After receiving a warm welcome from Col. Lew Hoyt, commander, Lt. Col. Jerry O’Quinn, executive officer and other personnel of the 163rd Artillery Group, my escort was assigned—M-Sgt. R. Frasier Sanders, Sergeant Major of the 163rd. Since the big guns had ceased firing before my arrival, the ma jor activity around the Newberry units was making plans for going to the field Monday morning, so we went on a tour of the base. Among the places visited was the Non-commissioned Officers Club where, on Wednesday night of last week, the officers and en listed men of Headquarters and Headquarters -Battery, 163rd Group, enjoyed a steak supper. The occasion was climaxed with a surprise birthday cake for Col. Hoyt. Some of the men discovered that their commanding officer was celebrating his birthday on Wed nesday, and Sgt. Monroe Worts and others in the 163rd mess unit baked a cake for the Colonel. We had a look at the Post Ex- (Continued on Page 4)
