SUMMING CP
THE SECOND SESSION of
the Eighty-Ninth Congress is
fast drawing to a close. The
year’s accomplishments have
been many, but the errors, frus
trations, and omissions have
also been numerous. Evalua
tions of this year’s Congression
al session will come from all
quarters, and the mark given
will, as always, depend on the
particular evaluator’s point of
view.
THERE IS an unfortunate
tendency on the part of many
to grade a session of Congress
on the quantity rather than the
quality of legislation enacted.
The scorecard all too often
used is the total number of
Presidential proposals adopted
as compared with the number
requested. On this scorecard,
the congressional session of
1966 does not rate as high as
did the sessions of either of
the two immediately preceding
years.
THE FACT THAT this Is an
election year in which there is
no Presidential election Is part
ly responsible for the more In
dependent attitude displayed by
Congress. When there Is no
Presidential election, the mem
bers of the House of Represen
tatives seeking re-election and
the members of the Senate run
ning for re-election—approxi
mately one-third of the mem
bership-know that they will
have to ran on their own rec
ord. There will be no Presi
dential coattails to be spread
around. In addition, the wide
spread popular disaffection for
the President’s programs was
clearly evident among mem
bers of Congress this year. All
in all there seemed to be a
more acute awareness that
members of Congress are elect
ed to represent their constitu
ents, rather than the White
House.
AS IS FREQUENTLY the
case, the Congress of 1966 dis
tinguished itself in the items it
failed to adopt as much, if not
more than in the items it adopt
ed. Once again this year Con
gress was asked to repeal Sec
tion 14-b of the Taft-Hartley
Act. The collective judgment of
the Senate not to do so stands
as a hallmark of concern for
the rights and responsibilities
of the states and for the liberty
of thp working man of the
United Stai
the Senate re-
ipeded into pass-
most oppressive
tyrannical so
ils'* proposals It
J asked to consid
er. This aet$fcn ms a signal
victor* for frbperty owners
lout the nation, since the
bill contained the inequitous
forced housing provision among
its other unconstitutional and
unwise provisions.
THE CONGRESS REFUSED
to emasculate the school lunch
and school milk programs: a
proven program which has bene-
fitted so many of our school
children. Instead, the Congress
expanded and modernized the
existing programs to better
meet the nutritional needs of
school children. Also in the area
of education, Congress success
fully resisted attempts by the
Administration to phase-out the
impacted areas program, by
which the Federal government
assists local school districts in
the additional financial burden
they must bear to educate chil
dren located in the school dis
trict because of some Federal
activity. The attempts to de
crease or repeal these programs
are examples of false economy
recommended to the Congress
which were seen for what they
actually were, and therefore re
jected.
MANY GOOD and long over
due proposals were finally
adopted by the Congress in
1966. Among them were includ
ed legislation to preserve cer
tain of our streams and rivers
in their natural state for future
generations, the Veterans Read
justment Assistance Act to as
sist in educating ex-servicemen,
legislation to promote cotton
and provide funds for needed
research to increase its uses,
and legislation dealing with the
interstate aspects of highway
and auto safety. The interstate
highway program, which has
meant so much to our economy
already, was continued on an
even advanced, level, while
spending for foreign aid contin
ued to be reduced. Also con
tinued and expanded were pro
grams to combat air and water
pollution, and to promote soil
and water conservation efforts.
UNFORTUNATELY, several
worthy and needed proposals
were not adopted, such as the
constitutional amendment to al
low a State to apportion one
House of Its legislature on a
basis other than population If
It so desires, and the amend
ment to return voluntary pray
ers to our public schools.
WHILE CONGRESS did bet
ter in exercising its own inde
pendent judgment this year
than It has in recent years,
there is still much left to be de
sired. Only when its independ
ence is an every year affair will
Congress rate an “A" on living
up to its constitutional respon
sibilities.

Pope to head
historical body
At the annual meeting of the
Newberry County Historical
Society held in the Community
Hall last Monday evening,
Thomas H. f^pc was unani
mously elected president. Serv
ing with him will be: Owen
Holmes, vice president; Miss
Margaret Paysinger, recording
secretary; Miss Josephine Shan
non, corresponding secretary;
and Preston McAlhany, treas
urer. Otis C. Duncan oi Whit
mire was elected to the Board
of Directors. Dr. James C. Kin-
ard, who has served as presi
dent since the founding of the
Society two years ago, predict
ed a bright future for the or
ganization under the new lead
ership.
Dr. Rosalyn Summer Sease
was the featured speaker. Shh
presented an interesting picture
of the church which is said to
be the oldest in Newberry Coun
ty, St. John's Lutheran Church
near Pomaria. Mrs. Sease is a
direct descendant of the first
settler in what is now Newber
ry County, John Adam Summer.
The ancestral home still stands
and she is there when she
comes to her native state for a
visit.
Mrs. Sease is widely known
throughout the United Lutheran
Church in America as an auth
or of many church publications,
a speaker at various convoca
tions throughout the church in
the United States and Canada,
and a talented organizer of
many different types of church
groups. She has been particul
arly interested in the work of
i the young people in the church.
In recognition of her excep
tionally outstanding ability as a
leader in the church Newberry
College several years ago con
ferred upon her the honorary
degree of Doctor of Literature.
In her appearance before the
Society Dr. Sease gave a gra
phically interesting picture of
the history of St. John’s Luth
eran Church, near Pomaria, said
to be the oldest church in New
berry County. She described the
happy relationship which exist
ed between the citizens and
their Negro slaves of many
years ago. She pointed out that
the slaves were accepted as re
spectable citizens in the com
munity and as honored members
of the families which they
served. Mrs. Sease’s audience
was struck with her description
of how 1 the servants were en
couraged to attend church serv
ices in St. John’s.
LUXURY LOOK FROM SHEETS—New fashion-printed
cotton percale sheets are too pretty to hide under a
blanket. Use them for canopies, dust ruffles, draperies—•
even wall panels. How-to-do tips for all of these proj
ects are in Lady Pepperell’s new booklet, “The Design
ing Couple’s How-To Handbook.”
IT’S DONE WITH SHEETS — This room once had a
problem: small space and slanting ceiling. As a solution.
Interior Designer Marvin Culbreth, A.I.D., turned to
cotton percale sheets. Ceiling, walls, and beds are cov
ered in Lady Pepperell’s “White Hose” pattern for a
unified decor.
Bread ’n Butter Gifts
You’ll be the dinner guest most in demand if you show up
with goodies like these for your hostess. They’re literally bread
and butter gifts: individual loaves baked in tiny pans, and
flavored butters to go with them. Best of all, convenient hot
roll mix speeds baking — one package makes eight Little Loaves.
To leave time free for pre-party primping, bake ahead and freeze
loaves. Just remove baked breads from pans, cool completely,
wrap immediately in heavy-duty aluminum foil and freeze
up to 2% - 3 months.
Little Loaves
Prepare 1 package hot roll mix following Easy Directions
on package.
Knead on lightly floured surface 5 to 7 minutes until smooth
and satiny. Place in greased bowl; cover.
Let rise in warm place (85° to 90° F.) until light and doubled
in size, 30 to 60 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 portions. Shape each portion into a
small loaf and place in well-greased individual loaf pan or
doll baking pan (about 1 cup capacity). Let rise in warm
place until dough is rounded above top of pan, 30 to 60
minutes.
Bake at 375° for 15 to 20 minutes, until deep golden brown.
Turn out of pan immediately.
Honey-Orange Whip: Cream % cup butter until light and fluffy.
Add 2 teaspoons grated orange rind. Gradually add % cup
honey, beating until well blended.
Festive Olive Spread: Beat Vi cup soft butter and 2 tablespoons
milk or cream until light and fluffy. Stir in 2 tablespoons thinly
sliced stuffed green olives.
Whipped Herb Butter:. Combine Vfc cup soft butter, 2 tablespoons
milk or cream, 1 teaspoon parsley flakes. Vs teaspoon oregano,
and V6 teaspoon garlic salt. Beat until light and fluffy.
She showed many relics of
the church in all of its many
years of history. She carried
her audience back through
more than one hundred years
of reverent remembrance of a
heroic people who always put
God first in their lives.

such an extremely well-quali
fied and dynamic Senator as
Strom Thurmond. After analyz
ing his voting record we find
that Senator Thurmond during
the 12 years that he has repre^
sented the State has consist
ently voted for sound money, lo
cal self-government and indi
vidual freedom. Senator Thur
mond has continually opposed
inflationary measures now felt
so noticeably; appeasement of
the Communists and a social
ized economy; and a mush
rooming bureaucratic Federal
Government.
“He has courageously demon
strated his concern and respon
sibility for his constituents by
truly representing their best
interests at all times.”
Now serving his second term
in the Congress of the United
States, Senator Thurmond is a
member of the all-important

help Sen. Strcm Thurmond in Washington carry on the
fight against big government and socialist programs.
