it is not half as important to burn the midnight oil as it is to be awake in the daytime.—L. W/. Elmore VOLUME 28—NUMBER 25. By'The-Way ... By doris a. sanders A GENU S “A g'eniu.' is a .-tail apart. A superman, set supersmart and far ahead of th.- vulgar mob] that he can’t hold down a regular job." For some reason, this little : rhyme, which 1 iir.-t saw some dd- odd years ago, came to nund to day, along with the thought that the genius should now be happy because, even with no job, he has no worries in the Utopia promis ed by Lyndon Baines Johnson. After all, the- President has said so. He said he’s going to take all the money from the ‘‘haves” and give it to the “have nots.” Now if your income is less than $3000 a year, lucky you! You're a “have-not” and the President is going to take care of you. It would follow then, that if your in come is more than $3000 a year, you belong to the “have” category, and aren’t YOl lucky! \ ou’ve worked hard and made a little more than $3000, so you can share it with some drunken bum who does nothing but live on the pub lic dole. And you don't even have to bother with this little transac tion yourself—the Great White Father LBJ of the Great Society is going to do it for you. He said so himself. There’s a word that describes this sort of business—SOCIAL ISM—but we mustn’t dare call it that. Might not please the ADA. All of their aims are socialistic, of course, but NEVER let them be tagged as Socialists! That’s a dirty word. But then YOU don't mind about the President taking your money and giving it to a worthless, no good na ra.-ite. After aii. you w ALWAYS voted Democratic and grandpappy would turn in his grave if you voted Republican. Know what 1 trunk? If all the Southern grandpapph-s could know you air* voting Democratic Party F.Mkl, the grave-turning would cause an earthquake the like of which has never been seen, and what they would sav if they could speak, would not be printable in a family newspaper. PUZZLING As of this writing, I haven’t yet been to the Fair, but I am told that what is supposed to be a labor union booth out there is in reality an LBJ booth. It does not follow that all labor union members are supporting Johnson for President. 1 know better than that. Put the fact is inescapable that at least some of our textile worker union-members are sup porting this man, and that is puzzling. It is well known, of course, that the hierachy of unionism is solid ly behind Johnson and that is un derstandable. After all, Barry Goldwater has tried to rid the laboring man of these radical na tional leaders who prey on the lo cal union member and live high on the hog from the dues paid by these people from their hard-earn ed salary. What is puzzling is that these people—and I am re ferring to some textile workers in Newberry — are supporting the (Ctontinued on page 5) Know your Teachers “I went back to college after 19 years because I had always want ed to teach,” says Mrs. Eugene H. Mathis, Jr., better known to her many friends as “Marty.” This in itself is enough to convince one that here is a sincere, dedicated teacher, but that’s only a part of the story. At the time she re entered college, she was not only a devoted wife, but the mother of four young children. “When we moved to Newberry,” Mrs. Mathis continued, “the w r ay became easy because of the near ness of the college. This is one reason teaching is such a thrill for me. It took so terribly long for me to reach my goal and re ceive my degree. When I started to Newberry in September of ’59, the twins (the youngest) were starting to kindergarten. I went to school while they were in •’i school. The next year when . ey went to first grade, I could stay at the college one hour long er each day. I consider my degree a real blessing. It’s a privilege to serve young people.” Mrs. Mathis teaches English at Newberry High to 9th and 12th graders, but she isn’t through with the learning process just be cause she has her degree. The past summer she attended a Li brary Science workshop at Col umbia college, and hopes to get enough hours through these work shops and the University of North Carolina for a degree in Library Science. She had received a busi ness diploma from Mars Hill col lege in 1945. Now living at Country Club Acres in Newberry, she is mar ried to Eugene H. Mathis who is poultry specialist for Spartan Grain and Mill company. Their children are Rickey 13, a student at Junior High; Skipper 11, Blair and Julia Catherine, 10, students at Boundary.
