But this DID happen in Newberry —ia.-t week. The music teacher was con ducting her class and as was custom, began with the Nation al Anthem. The children had been trained to rise promptly when they heard the first notes of the Stae Spangled Banner. As the Anthem began, all quickly stood, except one little child, who remained seated while the others sang. At the conclusion the teacher asked the child if she were sick. The reply was no. When isked why she didn't stand when the National Anthem was n teachers would qualify for the poverty program. I have heard it said by legislators that the teachers would fare better it the SCEA kept its lobbyists out of the General Assembly. 1 am anxious to see the fig ures on membership in the SCEA this year. It the past, I would judge that it has been roughly 90 to 95 percent. SCEA officials might begin to recog nize the teachers of South Caro lina are NOT interested in fan cy buildings; they are NOT interested in liberal propagan- ' ? . 1V< da emanating at the NEA; they are NOT interested with the Palmetto Association. .Money talks—and it appears that is just what it is doing ON BEHALF OF THE NEWBERRY COUNTY Municipal Association, Clarence A.

As I said, we hear of it hap pening other places but we just don’t expect it in the schools w’hich our children attend, or in the city in which we live. I know nothing of this so- called religious sect, but it is difficult to see on what basis it objects to respect for one’s country. IT’S HURTING It’s been a long time since I’ve had anything to say about the National Education Associa tion or its affiliate, the South Carolina Education Association. The NEA, of course, has long ago adopted a very “liberal” attitude. For the most part, the State Association stuck to its guns and remained representa tive of the teachers of South Carolina. For the past year or tw T o, the SCEA has gradually adopted the liberal line of the NEA, ev en to the point of sending out all sorts of NEA propaganda. During the past year, the SCEA has done a few things which aroused the ire of many teachers. For one thing, they have been, more or less secret ly, engaged in discussions with the Palmetto Education Asso ciation (the Negro teachers or ganization) on plans for a merger. The SCEA executive council decided recently, by the way, to let the members hear a report about the discussions. ELECTION DAY Election Day isn’t far off and this one will be a “lulu” in this state. For the first time there will be a number of Re publicans running for state wide, district and local offices. In addition there are a number of constitutional amendments on which the voters are asked to give an opinion. Among the amendments in Fresh from a 33-0 victory over Frederick of Virginia on Saturday, the Newberry Col lege Redskins are looking for ward to a few Wofford scalps Saturday night at Setzler field. “Wofford has a good team” Coach Harvey Kirkland, but so do we.

The leading rushers for Newberry were George Taylor, 89 yards in 20 carries, and Neal Dufford, 84 yards in 20 carries. Dufford is currently ranked 24th in the nation in individual rushing among small colleges. The Newberry defense, which held Frederick to a minus 22 yards rushing, is ranked 30th in the nation for rush defense among small col leges.

The one w’hich is causing more concern than any other is the one known as “urban re newal”, or the one which would give the municipalities the pow er of eminent domain—con demnation of private property for OTHER than public use. The city currently has this pow er of condemnation if it wishes property for public use—roads, playgrounds, public buildings, etc. I have had many calls about this urban renewal proposal and I promised to write some | of the pros and cons. When you start into a subject like that, however, it takes many words to explain, and what with all the interruptions of the past week, I just haven’t had time to get it all down in black and white.

By a 5-1 vote, City Council Tuesday night rezoned the tri angular area on College a%d Fair Streets, known as the Nosegay Garden Club Park, from a residential to a business lot. The recommendation for re zoning was sent by the Plan ning Commission to the council last month, but when consider able opposition developed from delegations present at the meet ing, council sent the recommen dation back to the planning commission for reconsideration. Thomas H. Pope appeared be fore council Tuesday as a mem ber of the Planning Commission and also as a member of the Rosemont Cemetery Associa tion, which owns the property in question. Louis C. Floyd, secretary of the Rosemont As sociation, was also present. Mr. Pope reported that the Planning Commission has re considered the recommendation and stuck by its first decision, that the property should be re zoned. He pointed out that the triangular area was bordered on two sides by service stations, grocery stores and a laundro mat and in front by the Rose mont Cemetery. “No person in his right mind would buy that property to build a residence, 5 ’ he said. Mr. Pope told council that Rosemont Cemetery Association had purchased property from the Smith estate in order to provide burial lots for a num ber of years to come. “The only way we can meet payments on this property,” he said, “is to sell this area.” He said that the Planning Commission would like to see the city purchase the property and to continue its use as a park or a playground for small children. The Rosemont Ceme- will be at the November meet ing of council. City Manager Ken Riebe re ported that he had heard from only one of the CATV compan ies interested in locating in Newberry in answer to a ques tionnaire he had sent and was awaiting replies from the oth ers before reporting to coun cil.
