THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1966 PAGE FOUR Graduates are challenged by D. B. Brittain “Add to education smart work, understanding and com municating with people, and the guidance of good goals,” Newberry College graduates were told at summer com mencement exercises Friday. "And you’re well on your way in an exciting world of expan sive opportunities and rich rewards.” The speaker was Deward B. Brittain, general manager of the Owens-Illinois plant here. Elaborating on the three rules for enhancing the grad uates’ economic well-being and for guiding their challenges in business, Brittain said that we must shake hands with the realities of our time. ‘‘The most successful and the happiest people I know are the busiest—not only in their jobs but in their avocations,” he said. “Success is germinat ed in good training and is nur- who choose not to work. He noted that there is plen ty in this country for those who choose to work, but there are too many who feel there should also be plenty for those who choose nt to work. “My second contributor to success Is double-barrelled: you must be able to communi cate with people and you must be able to get along with peo ple,” Brittain said. “In the modern, complex business com munity no man can be an is land and succeed. He must rec ognize and admit his interde pendence on people both with in and without his own organ ization.” The speaker cautioned the graduates not to wear their pride and feelings on their sleeves. “Sensitive and bruised egos do nothing but breed discomfort and misunderstand ing,” he said. Referring to his final sug gestion that one must have goals, Brittain said that this applies to all of life, but its application is positive ' and measurable in business. “Goals consciously and sub End of Summer Clearance Sale at T.

They know that prices will never be better at their Chevrolet dealer’s than they are in August. They know their present cars will never be worth more in trade than they are right now. And they know a good value when they see one, like a Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe—the most popular model of America’s most popular mid-size car. It comes with thick foam-cushioned seats, deep-twist carpeting, vinyl up one door and down the other, padded instrument panel and sun visors for added safety. And. all those Body by Fisher niceties sit solidly over some of the surest handling features a car can have: Ball-Race steering. Full Coil suspension. Wide-stance wheel design for steady cornering.

A young man or woman without meaningful and attainable goals most likely is going to find life a thoroughly buffet ing experience. ” Brittain emphasized that op portunity is plentiful in this age. The classified ads fof every newspaper beg for ac countants, teachers, engineers, salesmen, secretaries, nurses, everything; placement bureaus of colleges are as well booked as a Broadway hit show, he said. ; “It has always been good to be young, to thirst after khow- ledge, to stretch for achieve ment,’’ he said. “But yours is the best time of all. Here you stand in the foremost files of time restless and affluent— and mindful, I trust, of at least some of the opportunities that lie around you like autumn leaves.” Irby N.

Pearman reminded motor ists today. Crossing areas and school zones which have been vacant all summer will now be filled with children during early morning and afternoon hours, and some children will be rid ing bicycles along roads and ' streets. Drivers should there fore be especially careful to ob serve speed limits and remain alert for children when they drive in the vicinity of schools, Mr. Pearman said. The official urged all drivers to cooperate with school crossing guards, and to yield the right-of-way to children crossing streets and highways. Drivers were reminded that it is unlawful to pass a stop ped school bus engaged in load ing and unloading passengers. This law applies in all cases except where opposite direct ions of traffic on highways are physically seperated by wide medians where children can find refuge while crossing. In such cases, it is not necessary to stop for buses on the op posite side of divided highways. It is necessary, however, to stop for loading or unloading buses traveling in the same direction you are going. South Carolina laws provide severe penalties for passing stopped school buses and for failure to observe the reduced speed limits posted in school zones.

Wiles speaks to meeting of Lutherans In these critical times, Christian men must know and understand the problems of. their times and make known those problems, their ramifi cations, and solutions, Dr. A. G. D. Wiles, president of New berry college, said Friday night. . Speaking at the banquet of the 10th annual Retreat of Lutheran Men of South Caro lina held at Newberry College, Dr. Wiles referred to these crit ical times “of war, the threat of nuclear - war, godlessness, materialism, monstrous national debt, high divorce rate, flag rant sexual relations, increase in crime, and the assertion of society’s rather than the in dividual’s responsibility for crime.” “Christian men—and institu tions—may no longer -hold their peace in the threat of nuclear war, which will incinerate or otherwise destroy most of the people on earth,” the Newber ry president said. He elaborated on other threats: “paralyzing godless ness, which now dominates half the world, leaving the soul and mind of man lost and barren, without meaning and identity; the monstrous, ever-growing national debt, which someone must pay; the high divorce rate and widespread premar- tial sexual relations, both of which actually lower the dig nity of man and his aspiring to godlikeness; the increase in crime, which threatens the dignity and orderliness and the safety of society; permissive, though well-meant, attitudes and actions toward crime and .the criminal, that often tend to encourage crime and miscon duct, especially among he young.” Noting that one of the most serious problems facing the nation today is that of unduly explaining away crime and wrong-doing, Dr. Wiles said that this idea has been carried to the extreme. “It has almost denied any individual respon sibility and thrown this country into a kind of moral chaos the ends of which have not yet been reached,” he said.
