THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1964 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE Are You Listening? By EARL WILSON In this day of instant coffee, instant tea, and instant din ners, it seems that everyone is trying to develop an ipstant faith and relationship with Christ. The Bible teaches us that there is no such thing as instant maturity in Christ, but that ones spiritual life is a thing that must be cultured. It is not something that just happens, but rather is some thing that grows with practice, exercise, and constant use. There are very few adults today who would get down into the floor to play with the toys of the child, but there are literally hundreds of adults that are trying to live mature physical lives while they are quite immature spiritually. The faith of a child is not sufficient in the life of an adult be cause the child’s faith is not capable of meeting the trials of every-day adult living. A child is expected to be self-cen tered and wanting all of the attention for himself, but for an adult to act in this fashion is ridiculous. The adult who would try to wear the clothing of his children would be con sidered mentally immature. Likewise, the adult who is trying to survive in an adult world with immature faith is in for a severe struggle. The adult who would be of service to his Lord must quit praying “Now I lay me down to sleep,” and begin praying, “Lord, help me to live from day to day, that even when I kneel to pray, my prayer will be for others.” The Bible says, “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you.” Are you listening?

KEEP US IN MIND - WE'RE EASY TO FINDS "YOUR PRIVATE BANKERS' 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 SILVERSTEET SCHOOL NEWS By HARRIET BURGESS We have missed our beloved 2nd grade teacher, Miss Sarah Folk, who underwent surgery at the Newberry County Memorial hos pital on Monday morning, Janu ary 4. She is presently residing with Mrs. Mattie Lou Blackmon on Wheeler street during her per iod of convalescing. From all ac counts she is progressing nicely. We wish for her a successful and speedy recovery which will en able her to be back with us very soon. Miss Ruth E. Martin, a Silverstreet retired teacher, is substituting for Miss Folk. I am sure she is doing a splendid job of which she is most capable. After the holidays everyone was busy preparing for examinations. The teachers were reviewing with .he students important materials covered during the first semester. The students also were making a desperate effort to learn what they hadn’t learned in one semes ter (all in a few days). They are over now, and everyone’s glad. While the teachers are still pre paring grades for report sheets and permanent records the stu dents have resolved to do better work the second semester. The Silverstreet 4-H clubs met on Wednesday, January 6. For the girls the president, Linda Boozer, called the meeting to or der. Cynthia Brannon was in charge of the devotional period. The secretary, Vickie Senn, read the minutes of the last meeting and they were approved as read. The roll call followed. Mrs. Bus sey, Agent in charge, judged the Christmas decorations that the girls brought. Everyone got a blue ribbon. Mrs. Bussey then presented a program on room cleanliness. We have to clean our rooms for a week before the next meeting. A talent show was dis cussed by both 4-H groups. There will be try-outs next month. For the boys, the president Mark Bishop, called the meeting to or der. Earl Longshore was in charge of the devotional time. Mark Gillotte, the secretary, read the minutes of the previous meeting and called the roll. The minutes were approved as read. Mr. Bry son, Assistant County Agent, talked on dog care (and dogs, in general). Exhibits were shown on soil (with and without grass). Pictures on land uses were dis played, also. The next meeting will be on Wednesday morning, February 3. The television set was moved to the cafeteria on Wednesday morning to enable the entire fac ulty and student body to witness the inauguration of our next President, Lyndon B. Johnson and vice-president Hubert H. Hum phrey. The inaugural day festivi ties were enjoyed by all, especially the higher grades. Six of the 4-H boys from the 7th and 8th grades remained af ter school on Wednehday after noon to assist Mr. Bryson, and Dr. P. H. Senn set out about 50 pine seedlings around the Silver- street Ginnery, a beautification project which is sponsored by the Silverstreet Ruritan club. Mr. Long attended two meetings with Mr. Watkins and other prin cipals within the county. In ad dition, he attended a meeting of the local Advisory Board. Two members, J. H. Bowers Jr. and J. H. B.ishop were present. Because of a slight indisposition Mr. Long was absent from school on Jan uary 21. Mrs. Sarah B. Lake sub- stituted* for him. I have been advised by Mr. Long that one faculty meeting (princi pal) was held during the early part of January. Many matters were discussed, however, public relations (radio programs) and Title III were the main topics of enlightenment. The following miscellaneous happenings transpired during the interim of time between my last report in December. Marie Pitts, a fourth grade stu dent, moved and is now attending Bush River elementary school. A fire drill was staged in Jan uary. The buildings were vacated in a little over one minute. All of our supplies (office and janitorial) for the second semes ter, with few exceptions, have been received. The caterers purchased some needed equipment and supplies for the kitchen. A large number of boys of the community are using the gym constantly in preparation for sev eral basketball games. A pick-up truck has been se cured by Mr. Long from the sur plus warehouse in Columbia to be used by the school and himself in the performance of his mul tiple duties. We are still participating in the lunch room meals 100 per cent. Mrs M.cCullough and Mrs. Smith have visited us several times. Our enrollment now is 148. The average attendance for the third six weeks was down to 137, due to illness of various kinds. We appreciate the most beauti ful weather of the past few days after several days of chilling ice, snow, and cold temperatures. Jane Crosson of the 6th grade In College Who’s Who NEWBERRY HIGH SCHOOL At Senior Day ceremonies at Columbia College on January 13, Miss Barbara Allen Buddin, of Newberry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin A.

Pear- man has announced. In the current four-year license period South Carolina has licensed about 1,200,000 drivers. All lic enses expire June 30 of this year. Both paper and metal licenses will again be available, the De partment announced. Fees will be 50c for paper and $1 for metal. Licenses can be renewed “over- the-counter” at offices through out the state by presenting a cur rent license and a completed ap plication form. Forms for renew ing licenses will be available at all offices, or upon written re quest from the Department’s Col umbia headquarters. Department officials pointed out that persons desiring paper licenses may obtain them at once by applying direct at driver lic ense offices.

Those applying for metal licenses will be issued temporary drivers permits, good for 30 days, to use until their metal licenses are delivered. State law requires that the metal licen ses bear a facsimile of the dri vers signature, thus necessitating a person appearance of the appli cant for this porpose. Most Department license offi ces will be open daily Monday through Friday, although offices in less populous counties will maintain their current three-day- per-week schedule. All mail or ders for renewals must be sent to the Columbia office, since field offices are not permitted to fill mail orders. net; and Barry Shealy, bassoon.

Students Like Friendly College, More than half of the freshmeil! at Newberry college this year came because the campus has a reputation for being friendly, a special survey of the freshmen class has revealed. While 59 per cent of students questioned selected Newberry col lege for its friendliness, 52 per cent said they favored Newberry because it is a small college. The small college appeal ranked high est in similar surveys made over the past five years to determine why students choose Newberry college. Friendliness has been pear the top since 1958 ,but this is only the second time that it hps been listed as the number one attraction to freshmen. The fact that Newberry college is a Christian college and the selection of courses available ranked third as reasons why stu dents chose Newberry. Each of these was marked by 45 per cent of those questioned. Mr. and Mrs. John V.
