Finishing class hears Dr. Hewitt “‘How Big Is Your God?’ is the most important question in your life,” Dr. A. Kenneth Hewitt, pastor of Reformation Lutheran Church in Columbia, told members of the graduating class at New berry College Sunday morning. “The success of your life is de pendent upon your answer,” he said. “Your life, your motivation for living, your explanation of life and your whole character are de pendent upon your honest answer. Upon your answer hangs the dif ference between death and eternal life.” An overflow crowd attended the Newberry College baccalaureate service at Mayer Memorial Luth eran Church. The Rev. Harry We ber, college chaplain, was the li- turgist. Special music was provid ed by the Newberry College Sine- ers, directed by Dr. Milton W. Moore, and Prof. Darr Wise, or ganist. “No one can ever rise above his concept of God,” Doctor Hewitt declared. “God is the author of all knowledge and wisdom and all of man’s learning is simply discover ing what God has known from e- teraity. “Man makes a fool of himself when he, in his own conceit, de nies that there is a God. He can not comprehend and contain the infinite God in his finite mind. “A God that is great in wisdom and power would be a God to fear if we did not know of His great ness in love and grace which is manifested in His son, Jesus Christ,” the speaker said. “With the knowledge of a benevolent God who was willing to give His life for your welfare, you can face life with courage and the as surance of victory.” Looking A. head \ ...by Dr. Storg# S.

RECEIVED DEGREE IN ART AT COKER Miss Margaret Kinard McCarrel of Newberry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur H. McCarrell, Clark son Avenue, received a degree in Art at the graduating exercises at Coker College, Hartsville, on Sunday, May 30 If it had not been so comic- opera miserable, it might have been funny. There is the fan cy Rayburn building commit- tec room was Rep. Adam Powell, Harlem’s political prince and profligate sheer of fed eral pork, making ringing phrases of his accusations that the poverty program was being sabotaged by local politi cians. Before the poverty battle was hardly joined, the chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee charged, it was turned into “giant fiesta* of political pat ronage.*’ The poor, his ub-committee hearings found, were getting the worst of it. Getting the most of it was an army of job givers and seekers, who were absorbing most of the high cost of over head in the form of salaries. Of a $67,000 grant to Mon mouth, N. J., for example, $52,000 was earmarked for salar ies. In the big cities, witnesses said, the program was creat ing “fantastic power struggles,’* with the poor getting little help. Community Action programs in the big cities, spending nearly half the poverty war budget for local plans, came un der heavy Congressional fire. Theso glad-bag possibilities were said to be making old-time political bosses “goggle- eyed.” Answers and Charges Sargent Shriver, chief of the Economic Opportunity Office, defended his agency as best he could, admitting that it wan ted good people with ability and they had to be paid accord ingly. Only 71 of 510 agency jobs rate more than $15,000 per year, he said. Nobody in Washington, he added, is smart enough to sit down and figure out how to defeat poverty in every community in America. He is perhaps right. But he did not admit that shoveling federal cash out around the country is no solution. Senator Scott of Pennsylvania has called attention to the high overhead, with the top 45 employees in Washington be ing paid nearly a million dollars in salaries. Hie Costs Are High M || g Apparently these tremendous overhead costs are what make the unit cost of Job Corps training so high. While the trainees are paid slightly more than an Army private, the total yearly cost of putting a boy through a Job Corps training is said to come to $6,200, or more than twice what it takes to send a student to Harvard. Mr. Shriver disputes this, but if a student cannot go to Harvard on $516.00.. per month, he could certainly pay his way in many institutions that I know about and live quite royally on the balance. I Up at Willow Run, Mich., on the poverty front, a govern ment study costing $188,000 recommends not a job-producing program but a “cultural center** and ..federally ..sponsored town meetings for local self-expression on social, political and economic affairs. A federally subsizided newspaper (sup ervised party by labor officials) was recommended, so as to keep the public properly informed. These ideas seem to lean toward replacing enterprise with federal government action and control, with eventual social ization. How this would eliminate pockets of poverty is not disclosed, but it would certainly put aside tax-paying private enterprise. Temporary Means Always . r,. .• •« • - ? "S'V ► ^ v ''V •‘i*'. •* ■■ r'... t • -S ' And so it goes with other federal programs related to improving the economy. The Area Redevelopment Adminis tration, which has committed so many unhappy blunders in the nam* of, ^distressed** areas, is due to expire June 30. Like other bureaus that fail to die, it wants a new lease on life £s the “Economic Development Administration” under the Commerce department. It spent some $435,000,000 in four years and supervised twice that amount of public works spending. Now it wants to start off with $400 million a year and use more than half a billion annually afterwards, not counting the cost of the public works. Continuing the 50-50 program with the states is not sug gested for the future. The federal government proposes to put up 60 per cent, but in depressed (another word will have to be fopnd)- areas it will throw in as much as 80 per cent of the cost of projects. Like other temporary agencies that still thrive, ARA wants to blend into the Washington bu reau cray with broadened functions and bigger appropria tions. Those who favor big spending will see that ARA ach ieves its metamorphosis. Unless the people speak up, and clearly, we hall have poverty spending from here on out, with lush jobs for the organizers and limited help for the poor., lit "Mi T! mm lit' ■.j,* Wreck reports must be filed Drivers of motor vehicles in volved in accidents resulting in the death or injury of any per- S6n, or of property damage to an apparent extent of $35 or more, are required by State law to file written reports of such accidents to the State Hilghway Deparement within five days, the Highway Department explains. Such reports must be filed even though investigating officers and other drivers involved have sub mitted reports. In cases where death or injuries result from accidents, the drivers involved must immediately notify local police departments if the accidents occur in municipalities, or the county sheriff or Highway Patrol if accidents occur in rural areas. Written reports of such accidents are required of drivers even when reports are made by law enforcement officers. ' When ever the driver of a ve hicle involved in an accident is incapable of fifing a written re port, eny Mother person who might have been an occupant of the ve hicle at the time of the accident must submit the report to the Highway Department. If the driver is not capable of making the report and he is not the owner of the vehicle, the vehicle owner must report the accident within 5 days after learning of the oc currence. Reports of accidents filed with the Highway department are used to spot areas in which ac cidents are frequent, to tabulate traffic accident, injury and death statistics, and to enable the De partment to determine whether or not drivers have complied with provisions of South Carolina’s safety responsibility law.
