It seems appro priate at this time. ECCLESIASTICAL MOTIVATION word which Motivation is a has come into the language re cently and it explains why many preachers have forsaken the sinning sheep of their own flocks and joined Martin L. King and his smelly crowd of beatniks in demonstrations ^ across the land. As a result of 1 civic- motivation the preachers get ! well ants in their pants and just have to get out in the streets and “overcome” something or other. And how do they get moti vated? They get that way from listening to the spoutings of bums who worship at the shrine of Martin L. King et al. For an instance, here is a report of a recent meeting of the Montreat (Presbyterian) Christian Action Conference as reported in the Presbyterian Journal: “Yes, I went to the Social Action Conference. But lack ing the evidence of my own ears and eyes, Fd never have believed what I saw and heard. “Top billing went to a Har vard (and Harlem) lawyer who addressed us three times. If it is true that the route to Washington is to go to Harvard and turn left ,he may turn up HIGH in gov ernment circles some day. “Such a kind of sorrowful young man—the weight of the whole world on his 'boul ders and a pall of gloom ar ound him like a shroud. “He spoke to 'iz wearing madras shorts, no coat or necktie, and a wilted dress (not sport) shirt with the shirt tails hanging out. He was trying to “say” some thing but I rather felt his garb expressed a certain contempt for his audience. “Anyhow, the last laugh came later: because of his attire he veas refused admitt ance to the dining room at the Inn at lunch time.” The Presbyterian brethren probably got enough motiva tion for this character to last a lifetime, but as a little icing on the cake they also heard from some of the loud-mouths from the National Council of Churches—the outfit to which Aveleigh Presbyterian, Luther an Redeemer, Central Method ist and perhaps other New berry churches contribute a slice of their Sunday gleanings. So much for the Presbyter ian men of the cloth. Are there others? Oh, yes, there are others—plenty of them. Of which more anon. Diverting a bit, here in an instance of ecclesiastical pomp and Circumstance to say noth ing of a super-hearted ego, culled from a letter to the mag azine quoted above from one George A. Miller of Miami, Florida: “At a dioceason (Episcopal) convention where I was a delegate the bishop at the I tended from people who were not. They became citizens thru difficult processes of immigra tion and naturalization, except for some who became citizens of the United States by es tablishing the United States by means of a war. For those people, citizenship was not a “so-what” proposi tion. It was one of the most important things in their “ Citizenship means membership in a country,” World Book Encyclopedia, country and its citizens not really separate. “ Citizenship involves and political rights, is civic and political ties. Bills of rights in the lives, full says “A are both as du ll. S. Constitution and the state con stitutions guarantee civic- rights to all Americans. A child possesses civic rights, such as the right to worship as he pleases, from the mom ent he is born. “In turn, each citizen owes allegiance to his country. It is his civic duty to support his government, obey its laws, and defend his country. “Democratic gover n m e n t fails unless citizens show the same eagerness to serve their country that they expect the country to show in serving them,” World Book adds. Citizenship Day—first pro claimed by President Truman in 1952—falls on a Saturday this year ... a day for golf, for football, for closing the summer cottage, for raking up the first leaves of fall. But it might be well to stop a moment and think of the people who won for you your citizenship in this “nation of immigrants” — whether they won it with musket and bayo net nearly 200 years ago, or by crossing the Atlantic in a reeking steerage in the 1840’s, or by riding- on a DC-6 in 1948. And think, too, of the peo ple who will raise their right hands this Citizenship Day and take the oath of allegiance to the United States—the final step in becoming a naturalized citizen—the oath that begins: “I hereby declare, on oath, that 1 absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all alle giance and fidelity to any for eign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all ene mies ,foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance ...” In fact, you might even mur mur that oath to yourself this Citizenship Day. IN HOSPITAL G. L. (Dee) Summer, who was a patient in the Newberry County Memorial hospital for a week with pneumonia and was transferred to a hospital in Charleston last week, is re ported to be doing nicely and plans to return to his home on Harper street this weekend.

Native of Newberry, daugh ter of the late William H. and Mary Peoples Carwile, she was the oldest member of Aveleigh Presbyterian Church. Funeral services were con ducted Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. at her church by Dr. Neil E. Truesdell. Burial was in Rose- mont Cemetery. A c t i v e pallbearers were Claude Monroe, Carter Abrams, C. D.

The community was shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic deaths Sunday of a na tive Newberrian and his son in the crash of a light airplane five miles from the city on the Newberry-Whit mi re highway. Dr. Roy Leicester Cochcroft and his 14-year-old son, Steph en Alan, were apparently killed instantly w-hen the plane crash ed about 5:30 p.m. They were en route to their home in Bess emer City, N. C. after visiting Dr. Cochcroft’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cochcroft on Fail- Street. Olin Shealy at Newber ry Municipal Airport stated that Dr. Cochcroft left the run way at 5:15 p.m. He said the doctor had told him that he had gotten the plane, a Piper Tri- Pacer, about two weeks prev iously and had taken the radio out. Dr. Cochcroft had been flying for several years, it was reported. Coroner George R. Summer, who investigated the crash, said the single-engine craft ex ploded into flames when it hit the ground a few feet off S. C. Highw-ay 121. The threat of a serious woods fire was halted by Newberry firemen and mem bers of the Newberry County Rescue Squad. Both victims were burned, the Coroner reported. He said the plane knocked off the tops of two large pine trees and burst into flames. A witness to the crash stated that he saw the plane as it was lined up an down the high- wHy for a landing. Apparently at the last moment, the pilot observed a car occupied by two men, two women and a baby, and sw r erved to avoid hitting the car. Coroner Summer stated that an autopsy was held on the body of Dr. Cochcroft at the request of Federal Aeronautics officials and that no indication of physical disability was found to have existed prior to the crash. The federal agency was in Newberry Tuesday to begin an investigation as to the cause of the crash. Coroner Summer stated that no inquest will be held. (Obituaries elsewhere in this issue.)
