TU ICewlerry Sun, Newberry, S. C., January 5, 1967—PAGE FIVE • BY THE WAY (CndiMMi tnm Pace 1) erasb, the many deaths from automobile accident*. Another prediction: these auto deaths will not cease unto stringent Ikensing laws are put into ef fect and more important, until the courts clamp down on drun ken and speeding drivers. And there was hopeful news, reflected in the votes east in the November General Elec tion. For the first time in the memory of anyone now living the county elected two Repub licans to represent them in the state senate; one Republican to represent them in Washing ton and, if voters of Newberry County had their way, the sec ond senator in Washington would also he a Republican. The label, “Republican", is perhaps a misnomer. The vot ers had become tired of the liberalism of the Democrat par ty and cast their votes for con servatives running under the Republican label. A truly con servative Democrat who could denounce the national admini stration would have fared as well. The hope lies in the fact that people are finally begin ning to wake up, to take an interest in what is happening to their country; they are be ginning to find that their hard- earned money which Uncle Sam takes for taxes is being wasted on foolish programs at home and overseas; they are learning that the present Su preme Court is making pets of criminals and communists; and they are beginning to rebel at the destruction of their coun try. Even on the local scene, the populace rebelled against more government control. By over whelming majoMtv +he voters defeated the so-called urban renewal amendment which would have allowed city coun cil, or body appointed by coun cil, to take private property for resale to private interests. For a while at least they have re served the right to sell or not sell their property, as they see fit. Prediction: if city govern ment remains as it is present ly constituted, look for an in. creasing amount of propagan da about the need for “urban renewal" and the rosy pictures which will be presented.

Knowing that measures such as the “urban renewal" busi ness could be introduced and put to the people for vote without the prior approval of city council, I would urge that during 1967, you pay particular attention not only to actions of council, but to actions of your legislative delegation. Keep in touch with what they’re doing —then perhaps undesirable leg islation can be nipped in the bud. It will be my purpose, as far as possible, to fight the things which I believe to be undesirable but I remind you again, I cannot do it alone. Again 1 would urge you to write to your Senators, your Congressman, your state rep resentatives, your city council. Let them KNOW what you are thinking—they aren't mind readers. As long as you are si lent, they assume you approve their actions.
