But to get back to the eoupb- 1 i mentioned. I had a letter Wednesday morn- j ing from Mrs Bessie Richardson, who lives on Route 3, Prosperity. Mrs. Richardson has been blind for a number of years, but she doesn’t sit around feeling sorry for her self. Even in blindness, she began writing rhymes to pass away her' time, and she wrote the letter which is quoted below. “In Appreciation “We are two aged ones, read ers of The Newberry Sun, who ap preciate Doris Sanders for the good work she is doing, for her expressions of faith in two most brave men who are Barry Gold- water and Strom Thurmond. “They who dare do so are risk ing loss to themselves, hoping to keep for America our Constitu tional laws. “If freedom-loving people will speed up some we’ll elect Gold- water and keep Strom Thurmond.” Mrs Bessie Richardson Rt. 3, Prosperity, S.

Know your Teachers ANONYMOUS Several persons were temporar ily fooled last week by an anony mous letter which they received concerning Barry Goldwater. I would like to make it known that REPUBLICANS do not send an onymous letters, and I hope and trust that no one supporting Barry Goldwater would resort to such low tactics. I don’t know who sent the letter and I think it is unfor tunate that the Democratic leaders in the county—with whom I do not agree on politics but know well enough to know they would not send out anonymous literature, are getting the blame. Incidentally, I did not receive a copy of this letter. Guess whoever sent it has the good sense to know that I would not be swayed by an onymous literature. They are in sulting the intelligence of those to whom they did send the letters, be cause the reaction of all who men tioned it to me was “Anything I received that is not signed goes into the wastebasket.” In order that Xewberrian,, especially newcomers to the city, may become better acquainted with the men and women 'who are charged with the responsibility of educating the youth of New berry, The Sun is beginning this week a “Know Your Teachers” series. The Sun expresses appreciation to the county school direct or, school administrators and teachers for their help in compiling information which will appear each week for the next several months. REPRINTING Luke Aull, in The Ridge Citi zen a couple of weeks ago, had the following in his editorial col umn: “We have had so many calls for extra copies of the issue of week before last to get the following article that we are reprinting it again this week. We don’t know who got the information together originally, but nothing we have printed in recent years has achiev ed such popularity. Therefore, we are reprinting it this week so that all those who didn’t get enough copies before will be able to re plenish their supply this week.” One of Mrs. Ruth G.

Already charter members of the association in Newberry are The Literary Study Clhb, the Fine Arts Club, Town and Country Garden Club, Green Thumb aGrden Club, American Association of University Women and Floral Garden Club. The historical drama has been adopted as a project of tbe South Carolina Federation of Women’s Clubs and was endorsed by tbe Garden Club of South Carolina at its state convention last April. Dave Morison, executive director of the Newberry County Develop ment Board, was eager to point out the impact of such a drama, not only to South Carolina, but to Newberry County as well. Many thousands of dollars leave South Carolina annually, he pointed out, as people of this state travel to adjacent states and around the world to see tourist attractions. “Why not bring some of this money into South Carolina,” he asked, “through such an historical drama, along with our many other points of interest. Newberry County will feel the impact of these tourist dollars as patrons travel to the drama site in Lex ington County.” Miss Margaret Paysinger, chair man of the drive in Newberry, has announced that the following are assisting in obtaining mem berships and contributions: Mrs. Richard L. Baker, Mrs. Melvin At- taway, Mrs. V. W. Rinehart, Mrs. Jack Jenkins, Mrs. F. Scott El liott, Mrs. Emmett Nichols, Mrs. Warren Cousins, Mrs. Bloomer Hawkins and Mrs. Robert Wes- singer. Anyone who is not contact ed about contributing to this worthy project may give his or her donation or membership dues to Miss Paysinger or to any of the helpers listed. All contributions to the Palmetto Outdoor Historical Drama Asso ciation and all types of member ships are tax deductible. Kinds of memberships are: Individual or club, $10; Patron, $100; Senior Patron, $250; Sustaining, $500; Associate, $1,000; Junior Founder, $2,500; Founder, $5,000.

Charter memberships will be held open un til November 1, 1964 and the names of all charter members will be included in all future listings. Charter members will receive one ticket to the drama performance when 4t opens in June 1965. Newberrians will be interested to know that the programs for the drama performance will promote historical points of interest throughout the state and will urge tourists to see all of South Caro lina. Each county will be asked to develop its own tourist attractions and historical sites to be featured in this program. Wherever poss ible, citizens of the state will be employed for all salaried jobs.
