One regrets to leave such a
show, and particularly so on the
morniny after the official arrival
of summer. But on thr way to the
office an old friend is siyhted. He
wa" yuiiiiny a flower mower a-

work.” he said with that infect
sous snnle of hi- "i feel like I'm
close to (lod and that mayne Tm
htdiiiny pretty up His world.”

street. His shirt was a great blot I ness and gentility. Somehow, he re
of perspiration, his shoulders just
slightly stooped; the brim of Iris
ancient straw hat seemed to re
cite the ups and downs of his life.
This was not the kind of friend
to he passed lightly by. It would
be difficult to count the years
that have passed since first we
became attentive to this man’s
unshakable faith and his funda
mental wisdom. It is incredible to
know so much about a man, and
yet so little. We know where he
lives, but not where he came from.
His homespun philosophy is a
subject about which we have of
ten contemplated writing a book.
But his age? Or his background ?
We have never thought to ask.
It has seemed sufficient that he
is a kind and gentle man, and
that he could not possibly he
younger than 75.
And so, on that second day of
summer, we passed briefly. He
stood at the side of the car, and
gave his knee a swat with his
battered hat. And he smiled. He
always smiles.
This man’s friendship, we recall
thinking afterward, was another
blessing to be counted on a sum
mer morning. Few other friend-
shins have been so meaningful. He
possesses a nobility which all man
kind would do well to try to emu
late. He has made his life count
for something—not, perhaps, in
ways that many men consider im
portant. But he has taken limited
opportunity and mixed it with
* is a man who embodies all three
' of the important virtues of faith
and hone and charity. He has nev
er relied upon a welfare office; he
has had faith in himself. ‘‘J don’t
want the government looking af
ter me,” he said. “I might get
used to it.” As for hope, there is
the memory of sitting by his bed
many years ago when he lay crit
ically ill in a hospital ward. “I'm
not going to die,” h<' said then.
“The Lord ain’t through with me
yet.” And charity, One needs only
to recall the instances when he
shared with the unfortunates am
ong his own neighbors in time of
travail.
And how were things going for
him this summer morning? Well,
he said, “Pretty good, I reckon. 1
finally got my wife home from
the hospital. She’s had a hard
time of it this year.” Five trips
to the hospital since January. “Fm
right far in debt, but I’ll come out
of it somehow. I always have.”
Later in the day, when the story
was related down town, somebody
suggested that this man be given
some assistance—not out of char
ity so much as in the spirit of
admiring friendship. The amount
raised won’t erase the debt. But
it will communicate a kind of
fellowship that counts for much
among men at a time when mis
understanding is running rampant.
And that, too, is a blessing surely
to be counted.

Director says
thugs may be
pressing luck
By J. EDGAR HOOVER
Young thugs and teenage crim
inals may be pressing their luck
by increasing violent escapades
while blaming society for their
faults.
It appears that the public is
beginning to gag on the steady
sociolo rical diet of excusing
the conduct of teenage hoodlums
because “society has failed
them.” Resort communities
racked by senseless riots and
citizens who cannot venture
from their homes without being
assaulted and beaten are get
ting fed up with pampered and
insolent youth gangs.
Some courts in the troubled
areas are taking a more realistic
approach in handling those in
volved in these outbreaks. New
laws providing stiffer penalties
are being enacted in a few places.
We can only hope that authorities
everywhere will follow' this trend.
Certainly, the mere desire of
young miscreants to have a
“blast” or to “let off steam” is
no excuse to ravage a community
and to maim and terrorize its
residents.
That holiday riots and similar
antics by carousing youths have
evoked widespread concern is not
surprising. It is surprising, how
ever, that strong public reaction
did not come sooner. For several
years, the increasing volume of
criminal acts by young people—
spurred on by the lenient treat
ment received—has presented a
clear barometric reading of what
-we are now witnessing. For in
stance, from 1960 through 1964,
the percentage of young age-group
arrests for homicide, forcible rape,
aggravated assault, robbery, burg
lary, larceny, and auto theft more
than doubled the population in
crease percentage of the same
group. Arrests of persons under
18 for simple assault rose 79 per
cent, drunkenness and related vio
lations 52 per cent, disorderly con
duct 18 per cent, and concealed
weapons 17 percent during the
same five years. In the light of
this shameful picture, w r e cannot
say that we were not forewarned.
The immediaete objective. of
course, is to put a stop to these
rumbles and mass vandalism.
Meanwhile, the question puzzling
j most people is what caused the
! principles and morals of some of
j our youth to degenerate to near
animal level. Recognizing the
problem comes much easier than
its solution. However, of all the
factors involved, I am convinced
one of the mesf damaging is the
false teaching which tends to
blame society for all the frustra
tions, woes, and inconveniences,
real or imaginary, visited upon
our young people. Teenagers, and
their parents, have been subject
ed to a foolhardy theory which
condones rebellious conduct ag
ainst authority, law and order, or
any regulatory measures which
restrict their whims, wishes, de
sires, and activities. This aston
ishing belief has spread into the
streets of our Nation in the form
of w'ild, drunken brawls.
No doubt, society has failed our
youth, but not in the way many
seem to think. Rather, the dere
liction has been in the failure to
teach them the meaning of discip
line, restraint, self respect, and
respect for law and order and the
lights of others. Consequently,
the lesson now is both painful and
costly.

Officials warn
drivers observe
safety rules
Schools are again in session
throughout South Carolina, and
thousands of children are walking
to and from classes or riding the
bright yellow school buses, the
State Highway Department re
minded motorists today.
Department officials said school
zones and crossing areas which
have been acant all summer are
now filled with children, requir
ing strict obedience of speed lim
its and special driving caution
when passing through these areas.
Drivers were urged by the De
partment to cooperate with school
crossing guards, and to always
be alert for children walking or
playing near streets or highways.
All drivers were also reminded
that it is unlawful to pass a stop
ped school bus from either direc
tion while the bus is loading or
unloading passengers. This law
applies in all cases except where
opposite directions of traffic on
highways are physically separated
by wide medians where children
can find refuge while crossing.
In such cases, it is not necessary
to stop for buses on the opposite
side of the divided highway.
State laws proide severe penal
ties for passing stopped school
buses and for failure to observe
speed limits in school zones.
Witnesses plan
3-day conference
The local congregation of Je
hovah’s Witnesses began laying
plans to attend a three-day as
sembly in Abbeville, it was recent
ly announced. The meeting will
be held in the school auditorium
on Chestnut street, September
17 through 19.
Mr. Brooks, presiding minister
of the group, said that the theme
of the gathering will be “Increas
ing Our Praise to Jehovah” and
he mentioned that upward of 700
ministers and their families will
be in attendance.
According to Mr. Brooks, Je
hovah’s Witnesses take very ser
iously the Bible command to meet
together regularly. This they do
by holding five congregational
meetings each week at the local
Kingdom Hall. “The Abbeville
gathering is an extension of our
regular meetings on an enlarged
basis,” Mr. Brooks said.

Pedestrian Safety Award Received
VA to help with
FHA loans
The Veterans Administration
will cooperate with veterans want
ing to obtain an insured loan from
the Federal Housing Administra
tion under the newly signed Hous
ing and Urban Development Act
by isusing them a certificate of
veteran status.
Veterans may obtain this cer
tificate VA Form 26-8261, by
writing the Columbia VA Region
al Office or by having the mort
gage banker who will handle the
home loan contact the Veterans
Administration, Robert L. Ed
wards, Acting Loan Guaranty
Officer, announced today.
To insure proper certification
by the VA, the veteran should sub
mit with his request all discharge
or separation papers from all
periods of active service. If these
papers have been lost or destroyed
the VA can assist the veteran in
obtaining certified copies, Ed
wards said.
If the veteran has ever filed a
benefit claim of any kind with
the VA, he should supply his
claim number C-number) to the
VA.
Under the new housing Act,
veterans who were unable to take
advantage of the GI home loan
guaranty benefit before their eli
gibility ran out may now obtain
through the FHA a low down-
payment and low interest home
loan comparable to those guaran
teed by the VA for World War II
and Korean Conflict veterans.
Under the VA home loan pro
gram, World War II veterans had
until 10 years after date of dis
charge plus one year for each
three months’ active service
duty service between September
16, 1940, and July 26, 1947, to
take advantage of the VA guaran
teed loan benefit .Only very few
of these veterans are still eligi
ble and none will be eligible after
July 25, 1967.
The eligibility period for Kor
ean veterans is determinel by the
same formula as the World War
II group, but using the active duty
service period from June 27, 1950.
to February 1, 1955. None will be
eligible after January 21, 1975.

P. N. Abrams is
drive chairman
U. S. District Judge Robert W.
Hemphill has appointed P. N.
Abrams of Newberry chairman of
the Newberry County phase of
the Olin D. Johnston Memorial
Fund.
The nationwide movement in
support of the fund will establish
memorials to the late senator at
the University of South Carolina
where he earned two degrees. A-
mong the memorials will be an
Olin D. Johnston professorship in
political science, and scholarships
for South Carolinians who other
wise would be unable to continue
their education.
Gifts to the fund are tax de
ductible and may be made through
participating offices and organ
izations, or directly to the Olin D.
Johnston Memorial Fund, Uni
versity of South Carolina Educa
tional Foundation, Columbia, S. C.
The City of Newberry, compet
ing with more than 1,500 cities in
the United States, has been given
special recognition by the Carolina
Motor Club and the American
Automobile Association for its
outstanding efforts to prevent
pedestrian traffic accidents.
A special plaque has been re
ceived by Police Chief Colie Dowd
as a tribute to Newberry and its
citizens for not having a pedes-
train fatality for the past seven
years. The last pedestrain death
was on October 21, 1957.
“Motorists and pedestrians of
Newberry deseiwe the highest
commendation for this superior
record,” wrote T. E. Pickard, Jr.,
Executive Vice President of the
Club. “Comparatively few cities in
the United States can boast even
one year without a pedestrian
traffic fatality.
“Since the national pedestrian
safety program was started by
AAA in 1937, pedestrian fatali
ties have dropped from 15,500 to
8,900 last year, a reduction of
nearly 46 percent—even though
the population increased 50 per
cent and motor vehicle travel
jumped almost 200 per cent-
“However, there is no room for
complacency, because the down
ward trend of pedestrian deaths,
evident since the beginning of the
AAA program, reersed itself in
1962 and is still on the increase.
“Even so, we are not pessimistic
about the increase in pedestrian
deaths, deplorable though it may
be, because the 8,900 total of last
year presents a startling contrast
to Hie 15,500 of 28 years ago.”
College sees top
enrollment for
coming semester
Newberry College will begin the
1965-66 term with the largest en
rollment in its 109 year history.
At least 800 students are expected
to register; previous top enroll

10 in MacLean Gymnasium. Class
es will begin on regular schedule
at 8 a.m. on this date.
Freshmen are to arrive on the
campus September 6, and partici
pate in an orientation period thru
Thursday of that week. Upper
classmen will register September
8 and 9.
Faculty members will attend an
informal party at the home of
Dr. A. G. D. Wiles and Mrs.
Wiles on the night of September
3. The first faculty meeting of the
fall term is planned at 9 a.m. on

sion, department meetings will
be held.

Pause to Pray
“O most loving Lord, give me a
childlike love of Thee, which may
cast out all fear.
Grant that I may show forth
Thy love to even the least of these
my brethren. May I not be so
much interested in my rights as
I am in my brother’s good.
May Thy love be my inspiration
and guide. In Christ’s name, I
pray.” Amen.
