URBAN RENEWAL
City Manage) Kt j n Riebe U'lls
me that I just don’t understand
fully the story of urban renew
al. I’ll ayree with him: I don’t.
It’s impos.-ible to keep up with
the many p.ive-away prop-rams
the government devises to
spend your tax money. Anyway,
I promised to read through the
vast amount of literature he
has between now and the time
the populace will vote whether
to give the city council addi
tional authority to condemn.
I say additional authority be
cause Manager Riebe gives me
to understand that Council al
ready has condemnation pow-
ers. There is one hitch: if Coun
cil condemns property, it must
be in order to put that property
to municipal use. The city could
condemn, I am told, property
on which to place a municipal
building, or a public housing
project to be run by the city,
etc. What the new proposal
would do would be to allow
Council to condemn property
which could then be turned ov
er to private investors for
housing projects, etc. (I say
turned over; I assume it would
be sold to the private inves
tor).
As I told the city manager, I
am no longer so concerned a-
bout the federal aid portion.
The government is going to
tell you how to do business,
federal aid or no federal aid—
and this will continue until the
people of this country finally
wake up to what is happening.
That probably won’t be for a
few years yet, but one of these
days the time will come. In
the meantime, I cannot see—as
I told Mr. Riebe and Mayor
Layton, giving any more con
demnation power to any city
council, much less the one now
sitting, heavens forbid!
What is even more disturbing,
the way the city manager reads
this urban renewal business,
city council would have auth
ority to condemn property
outside the city limits. I won
der how this strikes the prop
erty owners in outlying areas—
say for a three mile radius of
the city limits? I wonder if
those “outsiders” are going to
be given a chance to vote on
whether they want to allow
the Newberry city council to
condemn their property?
* Of course there is no way
that this small voice in the
wilderness can stop the legis
lature from passing the bill in
troduced by Rep. Folk, which
would allow a vote on the issue.

HEADLINE
“Church Council Urges Seat
in C. X. for Red Chim-e.'’
First paragraph:
‘‘The National Council of
Churclies’ General Board urgvd
Tuesday that Red China be
admitted to the United Nations
and that the United States
study diplomatic recognition
for the Communist country.”
A reader out in Tulsa, Okla
homa, was kind enough to send
me the editorial reaction of die
Tulsa Daily World to this lat
est announcement. It follows:
Church Aid—For Whom?
We can hardly be surprised
that the General Board of the
National Council of Churches
has called on the U. S. Gov
ernment to help seat Commun
ist China as a member of the
United Nations.
Certainly this follows the line
of the religious busybodies who
have committed the Council to
a never-ending list of social,
economic and political stands
that range far afield from the
primary purpose of churches.
A spokesman for the Council,
for example, gave what amoun
ted to an endorsement of the
repeal of Section 14(B) of the
Taft-Hartley Act before the
House Subcommittee when that
issue was before Congress last
year.
Later the Council condemned
the war in Viet Nam, called
for an end o fbombing of North
Viet Nam for a cease-fire—
without any word as to the need
for some kind of response from
the Communist side.
Such gratutitious advice for
solving all kinds of problems
is now more or less expected
from the .Council—no matter
how much some of its members
may disagree with the philos
ophy of moving into every con
troversial arena.
But what really disturbs us
is the constant implication that
the national organization speaks
for some 30 denominations and
40 million individual church
members.
Does this do any harm? Well,
it sickens a lot of those individ
ual members who abhor the
Council’s pronouncements and
by no means want it to speak
for them. They are here in Tul
sa as well as in congregations
throughout the nation.
That is bad enough, but there
is more. The constant interven
tion by the Council into non
religious matters is a source of

live outside the city might'
not even be able to vote on it,
could make your voice heard.
And in the event the bill does
become law, I still promise to
read the information about ur
ban renewal and report what
the city manager believes are
the “good things” about urban
renewal.
NOT AGAIN
A reader wants to know when
I’m going to start writing ag
ain about the benefits and pay
raises the legislature is voting
itself this year. I don’t expect
to—I’m too disgusted. My feel
ings were pretty well summed
up by an item in the “Ashley
Cooper” column, “Doing the
Charleston,” in a recent issue
of the News & Courier. Lord
Ashley says thus:
“I wonder if the South Caro
lina Legislature realizes how
its image has suffered this
year.
“First came the naked self
ishness and sickening filibus
ters of the special session, dom
inated by the relatively few
lawmakers who really ought to
be put out to pasture, anyway,
“Then came the greedy (on
the part of some) grab for re
tirement and pay raises for the
legislators themselves.
“Along with this came the
wrangling and lobbying over
insurance and small loans.
“And finally the daily, week
ly, monthly deadlock in the
purely political manipulations
to elect, of all things, a justice
of the State Supreme Court.!
“Many counties, including
Charleston, have excellent leg
islative delegations. But the
overall picture, gentlemen, is
depressing indeed.”
How do we know? Let’s look
at the Dec. 7, 1965, issue of the
“Worker,” Communist news
paper published in New York
City. The big headline: Church
Council Demands U. S. End
Escalation.” And the story:
“The National Council of
Churches, representing Pro
testant and Eastern Orthodox
churches of 30 denominations
with a membership of 40 mil
lion condemned the escalation of
the war in Viet Nam over the
weekend ...”
Further in the story: The
Council, in effect, placed loy
alty to God and peace before
loyalty to the White House and
war.”
Isn’t that a. clear implication
that anyone who agrees with
the Administration’s policy is
disloyal to God and peace?
Then there is the editorial:
“A Heartening Plea,” which
says in part: “The significance
of the policy statement by the
Council on the Viet Nam war
lies in the fact that it summons
its clergy and lay leaders to
involve themselves in the work
of enrolling their 40 million
members in activity in behalf
of bringing an end to U. S. ag
gression in Viet Nam.” (Italics
ours.)
Is that aid and comfort to
the enemy ? It isn’t anything
else. We think it’s about time
the member churches call for
some kind of ceasefire to stop
the National Council of Church
es from bombing the United
States.

If you catch your favorite
supermarket manager boning up
on how to talk to a teen via a
“Hipster’s Dictionary”, don’t be
too surprised. He’s preparing
for National Youthpower Week
March 27-April 2.
And the point he, and the en
tire food industry, will be at
tempting to reveal is that ap
proximately 40 to 60 percent
of the youngsters in the teenage
group eat inadequate meals.
In a recent survey at Newber
ry High school by Pat Shealy,
38 Home Economic students
were surveyed. Of the 38, only
11 indicated they ate a good
breakfast. The other 27 indi
cated they did eat breakfast,
though inadequate, a portion of
the 27 indicated their break
fast consisted of pepsi-cola and
toast. These facts become al
arming when made public be
cause of the health hazard im
posed upon our youth as a re
sult of a poor diet.
Other surveys among teen
agers have shown that:
Three out of ten girls and
two ou tof ten boys skimped on
breakfast.
Forty percent of the boys and
30 percent of the girls had a
breakfast that might be term-

studied the egg and dairy in
dustry in the county and has
learned that Newberry County
is producing an abundance of
two goods, milk and eggs, that
are essential to every teenager
and diet, and urges them to eat
plenty of both.
The National meeting brings
together nearly 200 top teens
from over 20 states. For four
days the youngsters will meet
with leading educators, nutri
tionists, economists, and food
industry executives studying all
of the many facets of the total
food picture. Special emphasis
is given to nutrition, career op
portunities in food and econom

for a two year period.
Scurry is completing his 10th

the history of his native county.
He is a member of the Agri

servings from the four basic
groups.
The poorest fed member of
the family is the teenage girl.
The reason lies in the fact that
the female needs about one-
third less calories than the
male. Consequently, her diet
must contain all of the import

enough minerals, vitamins and
proteins.
