LEGAL NOTICE
April 12, 1965
The Newberry County Board of
Education hereby publishes its
policy which removes race as a
factor in pupil assignment in the
public schools of the district for
the school year 1965-66. This pol
icy was adopted July 28, 1964 and
revised March 1, 1965.
Criteria for the Newberry Coun
ty School plan is similar to that
of desegregation plans approved
by U. S. District Judge J. Robert
Martin in suits against schools in
Greenville, with the exception of
item No. 6 pertaining to school
bus transportation.
Applications will be considered
“ . . . without regard to race, color
or creed.” Applications are avail
able for parents of any child in
school to request transfer to ano
ther school. Transfer forms are
available at the Area Superinten
dent’s or Principal’s office where
the child resides.. Completed ap-
lications will be acted upon with
in 30 days of their receipt by the
County Board of Education.
Applications after May 1, 1965
(and April 1 on succeeding years)
will be limited to pupils establish
ing residence in the dictrict, or
moving from one area of the dis
trict to another.
The full statement of policy
follows:
“The following policies and pro
cedures with respect to assignment
and transfer of pupils in this dis
trict are hereby adopted.
A. The assignment of pupils
seeking enrollment in the system
in an elementary school for' the
first time or in a junior or senior
high school for the first time shall
be made upon conditions of the
following criteria and without re
gard to race, color or creed:
1. The preference indicated by
the pupils application.
2. Whether the educational
program of the pupil can be
met by the school to which
assignment is sought. In
the determination of the
suitability of the program
in the school to which trans
fer is sought, consideration
of the following factors will
be made.
a. The curricular offerings
in the school to which as
signment is sought and in
the previous school attended,
if applicable.
b. The grade level attained
in previous school attended,
if applicable.
c. The chronological age
of the student.
d. Results of standardized
tests.
e. Professional consultation
and/or exchange of infor
mation between the princi
pal of the school to which
assignment is sought.
f. Personal interview with
pupil and parents by an
official designated by school
board.
3. The capacity of the school
to which assignment is
sought.
4. The availability of space in
schools other than the
school for which entry is
sought.
5. The distance the pupil lives
from such school.
6. The availability of public
school bus transportation.
B. Pupils shall be assigned to
the schools which they attended
the preceding year except those
eligible for promotion to a differ
ent school, or those transferred
because of overcrowded conditions.
Notwithstanding, however, and as
a matter of absolute right, appli
cation may be made by the parent
or legal guardian of such pupils
for placement in another school
specified in the application there
for, in which case the reason for
the requested transfer must be sta
ted. Such application shall be con
sidered under the direction of the
Superintendent and acted upon in
the light of the criteria set forth
as items 1 £, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in par
agraph A herein above without re
gard to race, color, or creed, with
in 60 days from its receipt.
C. For pupils who are enrolled in
Newberry county schools prior to
April 1, the deadline for applica
tion for transfers which are to
become effective in August or
September (i. e. the beginning of
the school term) will be April 1 of
the year in which the transfer is
to become effective. Application
forms for transfer, as well as ini
tial enrollment, are presently av
ailable in the office of the princi
pal of each high school in the
District; said forms will be de
livered only to pupils, parents,
legal guardians or persons in loco
parentis of applicants. All appli
cations must be made on official
forms.
D. Transfer application forms to
be used on behalf of pupils estab
lishing residence in Newberry
County Schools after April 1 of
each year will be available at the
office of the Superintendent and
should be filed with the Superin
tendent on behalf of such pupils as
soon as practicable. All appli
cations shall be considered under
the direction of the Superinten
dent and acted upon within 60
days.

THE
MANION
FORUM
In our thinking about the Com
munist menace to this country, we
should try to create a proper
balance in respect to the Left
Wing movement. The overwhelm
ing emphasis towards the Left
Wing has ben the concentrate on
the Communist menace as such.
Actually, the Left Wing movement
is made up of various forces, just
like the criminal underworld is
made up of various elements. The
Socialist aspect of the Left Wing
political underworld has been
largely overlooked or depreciated.
Socialist have crept into our
society, almost by default without
proper investigation, and without
any publicity of a public nature
having been turned in their di
rection. This danger, carried on
smoothly under respectable auspi
ces through our academic institu
tions and various governmental
bodies, as well as the information
media h,as been ignored by most
of us.
The over-emphasis on Commun
ism as the only menace to our
country has created an imbalance
which allowed the Socialists to
enter into various phases of our
public life. Since the Socialists
specialize in appearing in the
most respectable garb, generally
well-educated, their Socialism is
largely invisible.
In England, many years ago, a
group of people with socialistic
ideas, formed a group which they
call the “Fabians,” named for a
Roman General whose particular
tactics in fighting Hannibal was
to retreat, to evade, and not come
into direct contact with the enemy
but to weaken the enemy by sub
terfuge. In our own country, we
have the same type of approach
and tactics being used by the so-
called Liberals, to obtain the same
results sought by the British Fab
ians. In both cases, the immediate
objective is to put Socialism in
control of our country as well as
England and the world.
The only difference between
Socialism and Communism is in
the manner of obtaining the result.
The difference is much the same
as the difference between a pick
pocket and a highway robber; the
one tries to steal your money
without your knowing it, and the
other puts a gun in your ribs and
you know what he is doing. In
either case, you lose your money.

When I was stationed at Giev-
res, the largest supply depot of
the AEF, France, First World
War, I was within easy riding
distance of Romarantin. There
stands the imposing palace of the
French queen who strangled or
beheaded many men. That impos
ing palace is probably a museum
now, as are so many old palaces
of long ago glamorous royalty.
No queen, though with marble
steps and many richly artistic pal
atial embellishments had many
of the every day equipments of
the average American home. For
example, none of these:
“No queen in the past ever had
such a wonderful servant as your
Indy has in the electricity she
uses in her home every day. Im
agine the look on the face of
Queen Elizabeth the First or
Queen Marie Antoinette should
she walk into a modern kitchen!
Electric coffee perculator, electric
steam iron, electric dish washer,
range, refrigerator—-either of
these ladies would probably have
given a good hunk of her king
dom for just one of these electric
servants.”
“How big a value is your elec
tric service today? Here are some
facts: Your electric clock runs for
a penny a week. Your morning
coffee perks away just one cent’s
worth. And Dad’s razor can run
over 24 hours—time for a whole
year’s worth of shaves—for just
one cent. Of course, when you add
in your vacuum cleaner, refriger
ator, range, toaster, air condition
er, dishwasher, dryer, iron and all
of your new conveniences — it
would be amazing if your electric
bill didn’t get bigger. You are
using more. But behind that bill,
here’s the real story: while the
price of almost everything else
has been going up, the price you
pay for electricity per kilowatt
hour, has actually been coming
down. Today the average residen
tial customer pays just 2.05c—
that’s 11 per cent less than paid
by the national average.”
“From the receipted bill for el
ectrical service back in 1907 comes
this bit of information. The bill
was for a month’s service. Only
14 kilowatt-hours of electricity
had been used and the bill was
for $7.00! The bill was made out
on a postal card bearing a one
cent stamp that paid for its de
livery.
In the 58 years since 1907, the
postage rate has risen to four
cents a card—400 per cent of
what it was then; whereas, the
price for electricity has steadily
declined—from 50c per kilowatt
hour—to a little more than 2 cents
per kilowatt hour, or, for the av
erage residential customer, about
4 per cent of what it was then.
The figures prove it.”
Just think of a vast palace,
with perhaps a hundred rooms,
corridors etc. and using wax can
dles. How blessed are we!
the reducing platform old Calvin
attached all belts and rollers, but
he planned on using only one at
a time. He was going to have her
shimmied by the shimmy belt,
then constricted by the constrict
ing belt, afterwards punched and
rolled for a while; but the rivet
fell out of the master control lever
and everything got active! Old
Calvin began running around try
ing to recapture brake rods and
controls which had fallen in the
water. The subject was a mass of
motion; transfixed, shook, twist
ed, squeezed, punched and rolled,
simultaneously. All she could do
was quiver and yell, ‘No, Cal! No,
No! Oh, Cal!’
Bottleneck says his ancestor
finally got the machinery under
control. After a long time and
much conversation he got others
to try it and it really took off
poundage. He says his ancestor
called the apparatus a hydro-de-
preciator but others in the settle
ment—people who had burst upon
the scene in response to the first
subject’s cries, and then stood
and watched in awe and admira
tion—well, Bottleneck says these
people always called Calvin’s ma
chine the No-Cal Reducer.”
“Usually community symphon
ies contain a nucleus of profession
al musicians who are paid pre
vailing wage scales for musicians,
and there is often a paid, full
time conductor. But the bulk of
the members of community or
chestras are doctors, lawyers,
Salesmen ,school teachers, house
wives and other local residents
who play strictly for pleasure.
Community symphonies often
stimulate remarkable local enthu
siasm and pride.
Community symphonies music
often requires a discerning aud
ience. Some orchestras play com
positions by such contemporary
composers as Norman Dello Joio,
Richard Yardumain, Wm. Schu-
man and Samuel Baroer.”

I come back to this now and
then: Why have we thousands of
men in Vietnam ? Why are we
there at all? What do we gain
by the shedding of young blood
there? What do we gain from the
hundreds of millions of dollars
thrown all over the world?
Since only the Congress may de
clare war what constitutional
authority is there for this foolish
swashbuckling of ours in Asia?
Why does not Congress re-as-
sert its authority and stop all
this killing of young men and
utterly wasting of hundreds of
millions of dollars?
In addition to a large army we
maintain an enormous fleet of war
vessels and airplanes. Why?
I am quoting part of a letter to
the Editor of the News & Courier
of Charleston. I do not say that
I fully endorse the letter or that
I disapprove of it: I give it as a
well reasoned expression from a
respectable citizen and in this
country we need, at all times, free |
expression of opinion.
I am bound to admit that I am •
sometimes wrong; and sometimes
you may be in error. The truth is
that we may often learn some
thing from those who differ with
us:
“I am not an integrationist nor
am I a segregationist as these
terms are bandied about these
days, but I am a believer in jus
tice to all. Does the term justice
mean equality? By no means. Jus
tice means the right of each in
dividual to seek and deserve equal
ity. No law does or can make all
men or all races equal.
What is equality? In society, in
daily associations in the business
world, in the field of labor, are
all persons equal? Foolish you if
your answer is yes. Equality re
sults from the proper use of tal
ents bestowed at birth by God and
not by an edict of any earthly
court, or presidential decree.
For about 40 of my 85-plus
years I have been a member of
the Catholic church, before then
of the Baptist, and all of these
years I have been and still am a
believer in the admonition of
Jesus Christ as recorded in Saint
Matthew, XXII, 21. Abhorent in
deed to me are reports of clergy
men abandoning pulpits to march
with violators of civil law. Church
and State should remain separate
so far as the government of na
tions is concerned.
I know Negroes, male and fe
male whose hand I am pleased to
grasp in friendship. I know whites
with whom I do not care to as
sociate. Must I be denied a choice
of friendship or companionship by
Presidential decree? God forbid.
I detest the KuKlux Klan but I
fear the day is rapidly approach
ing when restoring sanity in Am
erica will depend much on this or
a similar organization. Again I
say, God forbid.”
M. Clayton Orvin. ”
“Bottleneck Gibbs says his 17th
century ancestor, old Calvin Gibbs
built the first Hydro-Eccentric
Reducing Machine and in assemb
ling its component parts and prin
ciples laid the ground plan for
many things thought to be en
tirely modern. He says as the
early settlers spread out west
ward from the high-living of
coastal Virginia, out into the Land
of Swift Rivers, his ancestors de
signed so many water-powered ap
pliances that housewives got away
from heavy work and began to
put on weight.
Bottleneck says some of the
men got right sensitive about
this; said some settlers got highly
perturbed if a neighbor said T
just saw your fat wife waddlin’
down ye street’.
He says so many of ’em get
sensitive about this sort of thing
they asked old Calvin to stop de
signing labor saving equipment
and invent something to bring
back the muscle. He says muscu
lar wives were in higher demand
than fat ones in the old days.
Well, old Calvin designed some
very complex machinery and put
it in the Dan River where the
water was very swift. Bottle
neck described it in detail, but we
can only rough it out briefly here.
One part of it was a paddlewheel
with a belt around knobs on its
axle that gave a rapid back-and-
forth shaking motion. Another
part was a turbine with a belt to
go around the reduction subject
(fat lady.) Other hydro-agitated
equipment prodded the subject
with sandbags—and still other
equipment rolled her from all
sides with rolling pins.
When the first subject lay on
I find that there is a growing
desire for music throughout our
nation. Communities are organiz
ing orchestras and music clubs
and all these militate strongly for
good feeling and heighten cultural
accomplishment.
ONE OF THE most essential
ingredients of military prepar
edness is experienced profes
sional military personneL There
is no lack of tiiis resource la oar
defense establishment, bat the
availability of seasoned, qualified
professional officers, alone, does
not automatically insure that
this vital asset is being properly
utilized.
BY LAW, the chief military
advisors to the President and
the Congress are the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. Each member is ap
pointed to the position by the
President and confirmed by the
Senate.
IMMEDIATELY ebore the
Joint Chiefs of Staff ie the or
ganisation of the Office of the
Secretary of Defense, essentially
a civilian agency. Between 1961
and 1964, this office grew in
numbers of personnel from less
than 3,000 to 34,000. This bu
reaucracy provides increasing
competition for the role of “ad
visors” on military matters.
THE DEGREE to which the
available resource of profes
sional military advice is used, is
demonstrated by the decisions
made on 5 vital issues of mili
tary preparedness which faced
our policymakers this year. In
these crucial areas, unanimous
recommendations of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff were overruled
by the Secretary of Defense.
These unanimous recommenda
tions did not represent a paro
chial interest of a particular
military service, but the com
bined judgment of the top men
picked by the President from
each service.
FIRST, the Joint Chiefs unan
imously recommended that a
force level of 1,200 MINUTE-
MAN ICBMs to be deployed by
1969 be carried out as originally
planned. The Secretary of De
fense decided to abandon the
original plan and reduce the
force level by 200. The MIN-
UTEMAN ICBM is the principal
weapon in our strategic forces.
SECOND, the Joint Chiefs
unanimously recommended that
funds be provided in fiscal year
1966 to undertake the “project
definition pnase” of research and
development on an advanced
manned strategic aircraft To
carry out this recommendation
would require $121 million. The
Secretary of Defense reduced
the request fay $83 million. The
Senate authorized the entire
amxnnrt- of $1291. erfHjon, hut
there is Httfar probability that
the Secretary of Defens. will
permit it to be used. Last year
the Congress voted $52 million
for this purpose, but - the Secro
tary. of Defense would permit
only $24 million to he spent.
THIRD, the Joint Chiefs
be provided to accomplish
production engineering o*. tho
YF-11 interceptor aircraft. In
order to make it possible to pro
duce this much needed inter
ceptor. The Secretary of Defense
decided that this activity coo Ml
wait another year, and denied
the request.
FOURTH, the Joint Chiefs
unanimously recommended that
an additional $200 million be
allocated to pre-production engi
neering for the NIKE-X system
in order to reduce the period of
years before we can deploy any
defense of our cities and weap
ons against an enemy’s ballistic
missiles. We now have no de
fense against ballistic missiles.
The decision to produce such n
defense system, already devel
oped and tested, has been re
peatedly postponed. The Secre
tary ,ef Defense refused the $200
million, and again postponed the
decision.
THE JOINT CHIEFS unani
mously recommended that the
rate of construction qf nuclear
attack submarines be carried cut
at the level of 5 per year in
1966 as originally planned. The
Secretary reduced the rate of
construction to 4, a 1/3 cut. The
Senate authorized the funds for
all 6, but again, there is no con
fidence that the Secretary will
permit the funds to be spent.
IN 5 OF the most critical de
cision areas, where experienced
professional military judgments
are most essentia), the Secretary
of Defense acted counter to the
unanimous recommendations of
the Joint Chiefs. These ,five
issues were the top issue- open
for decision this year. They in
volve (1) the size of our retelia-
tory force of ICBMs. <2) when
and if we have an effective new
bomber to replace the aging
B-52, (3) when and if we can
have an effective interceptor
aircraft, (4) when and if we can
have a defense against ballistic
missiles, and (6) the adequacy
of our defense against the grow-*
ing threat of enemy ballistic
missile submarines.
THE UNITED STATES has
the resource of professional mil.
itary competence available, but
it is of littls value to our mili
tary preparedness whei it is
fgmmsd and remains unused.
