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.

to buy their new Chevrolet?
To save money and, quite often, lots of it.
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.
So you see, "Chevrolet in August"
makes a lot of sense. Fine cars.
Exceptionally good buys and all those
beautiful driving days left. Real
Malibu weather. Act, my friend.

consciously influence our lives
almost hourly, or they should”
he said. “I challenge you young
graduates now to determine
your goals and to set a time
schedule for their fulfillment.
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.”

Caution urged
in driving
near schools
Schools are beginning to op
en thruout the state, and many
thousands of children will be
walking to and from classes or
f riding school buses, Chief
Highway Commissioner Silas
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.
