Summer Jr., RHT7 Campaign Chairman. All division chairmen a n d captains are requested to be r> ’-esent promptly at 4:00 p.m. Reports to date indicate that *45 percent of the goal of $4d,- 030 has been raised. This is the third campaign for Newberry County’s United Fund organization which was formed in 1964 for the purpose of assuring all qualified char ities sufficient funds for their operations and of reducing the high costs of many indi vidual drives. All organized charities have been regularly invited to par ticipate in the combined ef fort. The participating organ izations have received all of their budgeted figures, some thing which they had not been able to do prior to the United Fund. $2.() j Per Year ■■it knowing ng about. wcr»‘ ph“- thc act of turning of marching' chi!- could not control Tht- voi\ idea, tho Chicago nit youngster^ a menact till' USe of Now. in jungle, we youngsters editorialized. -houlti in- considered I u > tifv sufficient t< tear gas'* our own have seen of 9. in. 11 asphalt N egn o advanee children to a segregated school ? on polici with drawn pun s or broken bottles screaming Kill URBAN RENEW AL W hi toy!

M AKING UP Not only are some white folks above the Mason-Dixon line waking up to what is going on, even some Negro leaders real ize that the extremists of that race are creating irreparable damage. Gloster B. Current, a national official of the NAACP in an address at Florence Sat urday night to the state NAA CP convention, had this to say: “The foundations of the civil rights movement are being de stroyed by rioters, loud-mouths, instant civil rights leaders, black power advocates and black nationalists, who are just plain fools.” fiogive u-, what else could we j do! Can you, Georgia, forgive us too ? We tried the patience We had preached. Honest, we did. We tried .'t; desperately that seven policemen were shot the other night, two of them through the back. So, in the end, we resort ed to methods more brutal than yours. But, don’t you see, we had to. Dear Dixie, perhaps we have not yet learned fully to appre ciate what you have been try ing to do to effect evolution without revolution — but for whatever belated comfort it may be, from our glass house we will not he throwing any more stones at you . . . for a while! —Chicago Tribune Postmaster Harry Moose, left, is shown with Robert Odell who has retired from the postal service after almost 40 years with the local post office.

Hovt BodK ''• r ms le lulled AND OTHERS There have been many inter esting stories and columns in the newspapers in recent days, especially following the victory of Lester Maddox in Georgia over Arnell. Perhaps some quotes from these next week. About the best item I’ve seen recently, however, comes from the Chicago Tribune. It fol lows: Chicago, 111. Dear Dixie: Can you possibly find it in your heart to accept our sin cere apology? When there was race rioting in Little Rock, Ark., we were convinced that the cause was callousness. Our public officials and our press in Chicago insis ted that the only reasons for Negro restiveness were your segregated schools and your stubborn governor. We in Chi cago with integrated schools and a very liberal governor are now wiithing with agony of race rioting. And as we seek to set our house in order, we hope your headlines will be kinder to us than ours were to you. And when a Mississippi Ne gro boy was found drowned, we in Chicago called this the in evitable result of a white su premacy tradition. Now a Ne gro girl, 14, and pregnant, has nay. ur. Columbia will be president.
