Page 8—The Newberry Sun, Newh'ewberry, S. C., Thursday, Feb. 15, 1967 The newest beautification projproject undertaken by the City and the Civic League is at the corner of the parking lot lot at Johnstone and Caldwell streets. An area has been concreted around the maple tree tree shown at left, and a “bench wall” constructed. The area will be planted with grass ass and flowers. (Sunphoto) BY THE WAY fContinued from pag* 1) will be of much help. Xo one i* going to throw papers or Ver cans out of an automobile with a police car snooping a- long behind—and if the police car car isn’t there, how are the “crii “criminals" to be caught? I I believe, as the City Man- ageiager said, that the important thinj thing is for parents to set a gone good example and teach their chik children not to throw litter on the streets. This would help some—perhaps in time ALL of our citizens would become beauty-conscious. PROPAGANDA If you take a daily newspa per, I’m sure you noticed that the Presbyterians are at it again—publishing pro-commu nist propaganda and In, of all things, a magazine used by children 9 to 12 years of age. Supposedly written by a 12- year old child the published poem, “Afterthoughts on Na palm Drop on Jungle Villages near Haiphong.’ 1 * describes an imals and children being burn ed to death. Strangely, the poem doesn’t mention the atro cities committed by the Viet- cong in South Vietnam. The alleged writer of the poem is described as a “straight A student” who is interested in world affairs. Well, we have around our house a 12-year- old straight A student who is interested in world affairs. We know that at that age, a child’s thoughts are molded by the adults with whom she has contact—parents, teachers, ministers. It’s a pretty sure sure thing if the child who sup posedly wrote that poem was the author, she had been thor oughly brainwashed—possibly by one of our “modern" young Presbyterian social action preachers.
