PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1964 Know your Teachers Those short and long straight lines, up and down curves and cnriicues look like so much Greek to the beginning shorthand student, but after a few lessons vrith Miss Ila Mae Suber, short hand ^students at Newberry High school learn that all of those little symbols have meaning and that if they work hard enough at it, they’ll soon learn to take dicta tion by using these marks which now look so peculiar. , Miss Suber is commercial teach er at Newberry High, and pat iently carries the students through the first weeks of laborious^ typ ing (when it seems as though they will NEVER master that keyboard) to the time when they not only master it, but get a good typing speed as well.

Her background for this teach ing was obtained at Newberry college, from which she received an A.B. degree and a Commercial Certificate. Like most other teachers, her education did not end there. She has done 21 hours of graduate work at the Univers ity of South Carolina and Clemson University. Last year she attend ed a Shorthand workshop at East Carolina College in Greenville, N. C.

She is certified to teach Latin, and Eglish, but Latin occupies her full - time classroom duty at Newberry high. Mrs. Hinson is the daughter of Mrs. C. C.

Letter to editor Editor, The Sun: I have never written a letter to the editor before; therefore I was apprehensive to do so now. But after reading Mr. Dewey Kinard’s “An Appeal to Reason” in a re cent issue of a local newspaper, I have no other recourse. As a recent graduate of U.S.C. and a history major, I was ap palled to read this letter from such a quasi-historian as Mr. Ki nard. Since I hope to be a bona fide member of the historical pro fession before too many years have passed, I would ue derelict in my duty if I did not state both sides of his case. Mr. Kinard has failed to do this. He presents only one side in his attempt to glorify one party and malign the other. No party is perfect because all contain human elements and this alone allows a wide margin of er ror. I do not claim to know every thing about history and have lots more to learn (but it appears that Mr. Kinard suffers from what Al exander Pope cautioned against when he wrote that “a little learn ing is a dangerous thing . . .”) In the interest of justice, I shall act as counsel for the de fense. Mr. Kinard, as plaintiff, charges: (1) That the Democratic Party has not allowed the spread of Communism. I need only to re mind him that since the Com munist Revolution in 1917, the Republicans have been in power only from 1920-32 and 1952-60. Since the greatest gains have oc curred since 1929 this leaves only eight years for the Republicans. How does Mr. Kinard explain away the massive Communist gains since 1960 as Cuba, Laos, North Viet Nam, pro Com munist Indonesia and the emerg ing African states, etc.? (2) He lambasts Abraham Lin coln, picturing him as a fiend who called for volunteers to “whip” the Southern states and force them back into the Union.” Mr. Kinard just isn’t facing facts. Since he pretends to be such a scholar of history, he should be well aware of the fact that Lincoln ranks as our greatest President. He was attempting to save us from our selves and, although somewhat ironic, he was the South’s best friend. The Southern leaders—the ’’ultras” and “fire-eaters” such as R. B. Rhett, W. L. Yancey, and others—had appealed to our emo tional passions and led us down a blind alley with no exit. Mr. Kin ard is similarly guilty of appeal ing to emotions in his letter; not to reason, as he claims. He does this by noting the burn ing of Columbia. Columbia was burned (some 84 blocks). But in 1860 Columbia had a population of only 6,000; however, when I read his account, I thought the Vandals had sacked Rome again, what he* fails to add is that Nathan B. | Forrest, a Southern geneial re fused to quarter surrendering Ne gro troops at Fort Pillow and in stead massacred hundreds of them. (See James G. Randall, The Civil War and Reconstruction, p. 394). Cities can be replaced, but what about lives? (3) He cringes at Harding, a Republican, having a concubine in the White House and the Tea pot Dome scandal which rocked his administration. This is true. But what he failed to mention was that Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, fathered f.n illegitimate child, and neglected such Demo cratic scandals as th? Peggy Eat on Affair and Bobby Baker. (4) He recalls the Crash of 1929 and its subsequent horrors. To read his discourse, one is led to believe that this is the only de- presssion we’ve ever had and th* Republicans are the blame for it. I must remind him of those of 1819, 1837, 1857, and 1893 — all under Democratic administrations with the latter more severe than that of 1929. The point is that these depressions more or less reflected regular fluctuations of the business cycle and were large ly unavoidable. Mr. Kinard also fail to point out that in the 1930 elections, the Democrats gained control of Con gress and failed to support Presi dent Hoover when he sought to institute reform programs so that they could discredit him. The re sult was prolonged depression. Who gets the blame? While Mr. Kinard may have had admirable intentions, he presents a very weak, one-sided case. He suffers from the malady of ulta- subjectivism. I contend that both parties have erred and will con tinue to do so. The issue in this election year is not political par ties. We must vote for the man. As counsel for the defense, I have attempted to present the facts on both sides as fairly as possible. I rest my case. The read er must now sit in judgment as the jury and decide the verdict. I caution them not to be blinded by emotions. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask but one favor: Have an awareness of all facts, but above all—Think!

Indians clawed by C-N Eagles The Carson-Newman Eagle s came down from the Tennessee mountains Saturday night to claw Newberry college 21-12 in a non- conference bout. Newberry was the first to tally in the opening quarter when Arlo Hill recovered a Carson-Newman fumble on their 44-yard line. Joe Wren climaxed the 44-yard touchdown effort re ceiving a 21-yard pass from QB, Benji Kirkland. The extra point talley failed as Chip Shealy’s kick went wide, leaving the score 6-0. The Eagles moved ahead later in the game when Halfback Allen Stair drove 14 yards to pay dirt, making the score 14-6 after Bob •Buckner kicked for the bonus point. Carson-Newman’s final 7 points in the game came when End Sam Cox received a 30-yard pass in the end zone from Quar terback Jim Reeves. Bob Buckner added the extra point with ano ther booming kick to climax the 63-yard drive. The Indians chalked up their final tally when Summerville's Halfback Reed Charpia broke loose for a 94-yard kick-off re turn. The conversion attempt, a pass, failed making the final score 21-12.

The emphasis on fire safety be gan the week before when each pupil from grades four, five and six submitted essays on the sub ject “Why Practice Fire Safety.” The winning essay from each class: was sent to Newberry County Di rector of Schools, Ralph Watkins, to be judged with others in the county on the same grade leveL Winning essays from Pomaria were Carroll Koon, Frank Kiker and Cheryl Harris, grades 4,5 and 6 respectively. On Monday, every student was given a questionnaire on fire safe ty and a telephone sticker on which to record the telephone num ber of his fire department, his nearest policeman, and his doc tor. The questionnaires were dis cussed in each classroom by teach ers and students. On Tuesday, the local fire de partment visited the school, took part in a fire drill and gave a demonstration on fighting fires be fore the entire student body. Summing up the activities of the week, the Rev. J. Harry Crout, pastor of St.Paul’s Lutheran church, Pomaria, conducted devo tions during assembly on Friday morning and talked to the stud ents about fire safety. For his scripture lesson, Pas tor Crout read from Psalm 24:1. He explained that fire is a gift from God and is helpful to man in many ways, but when used in a careless manner, it can become very destructive through the loss of lives, property and natural re sources* He said that “it is the Christian duty of every individual to take care of everything in the world as well as himself.” He emphasized that fire prevention is everyone’s responsibility, and that the best way to fight a fire is to prevent it. Pastor Crout gave a list of “dont’s” that everyone might prac tice in order to prevent fires, and a list of “Do’s” that should be remembered in case of a fire. The Newberry Fire Departments were boosted by Pastor Crout as being the very best and most ade quate that money can buy. School officials said “We should join Pastor Crout in praise of our fire-fighting equipment and show our appreciation for the volunteer firemen who are doing such an excellent job.”
