NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6,
Fund campaign
coming to end
The final United h und re
port meeting is scheduled for
Thursday, October C> in New
berry City Council Chambers,
it was announced today by
Robert E. 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.

write something about urban re

in the November General Elec
tion. I had written about the
subject before and stated an
intention of doing so again be
fore the election. I have on
hand a thick folder of informa
tion furnished by the City
Manager which I have not yet
had time to wade through. I
doubt that it will change my
mind hut I promised to write
something of what were sup
posed to be the “good” points

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!

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.
The annual meeting is being
held in conjunction with the
state-wide F'all Show at the
Lancaster Community Center,
co-sponsored by the Society
and the Lancaster Recreation
Department of Leroy Springs
and Company.
Citizens at

city were present for the open
forum meeting called by City
Council to discuss the long-

the city. In addition, all mem

heads were present.
Boy Scouts served jas ushers
and the Pledge of Allegiance

Rev. Hoyt Graham gave the
invocation.
Mayor Ernest Layton ex
plained the purpose of the meet
ing was to inform the people
about the development pro
gram, the pay raise for city em
ployees and the need for in
crease in revenues to accom
plish these aims. He introduc
