PAGE 4—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday. Sept 14, 1967 Jasper Chapter hears talk by Dr. J. C. Kinard The Jasper Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution observed Constitu tion Day September 8 in the Community Hall. The guest speaker was President James C. Kinard of The Newberry Academy. He was introduced by Miss Sudie Dennis, who spoke of him as “one of our own.” He used as his subject, “The Human Side of The Constitution.” He described the personal qualities of some of the leaders in the Philadelphia Convention which prepared the Constitution for ratification by the states. He discussed the document in its relationship to the individual citizens in every state. This was accomplished through the election of mem bers to the House of Represen tatives on the basis of popula tion and of two senators from each state, regardless of its size. He stressed the fact that the men in the convention look ed at the whole problem from the human viewpoint. They were not concerned merely with setting up a system of laws, and they guarded care fully against building the framework of an autocratic government that would ignore the voice of the people. He declared that they thought they were insuring this by the ex press provisions that the intent of the Constitution could not he changed arbitrarily either by the executive or judicial branches of government but only by legislative bodies as directed by the express choice of the citizens themselves. The Academy President quot ed Woodrow Wilson as saying in his “History of the Ameri can people” of the convention: "They had taken measures not to please but to save the coun try. The Constitution which they proposed showed by its very simplicity and directness the statesmanlike vigor, defi niteness and consistency of purpose with which it had been conceived and drafted.” The speaker commented that a new democracy was rising in Am erica and that it was neither Democrat nor Republican; that it should not be concerned with differences in religion or of racial origin. He said ours must be a democracy of public opinion bound 'together by the ties of good will.” He concluded with the ob servation that our freedom was not peacefully won, that it was the result of struggle for more than 700 years from the Norman Conquest to the surrender at Yorktown; that our fathers had paid a bitter price for their gift to us. He said, “It is our solemn respon sibility to protect and preserve the Constitution.” Mrs. F. Scott Elliott, Sr., the new regent, thanked Dr. Kinard for his inspiring and timely address. Miss Hattie Belle Lester, the chaplain, led in the opening ritual with Mrs. M. F. Bowler, Americanism chairman, leading in the Pledge to the United States Flag and the salute to theflag of South Carolina. Miss Rose Hamm led the group in singing the National Anthem. Miss Grace Summer read the President General’s mess age and Mrs. Meredith Har mon gave the report on Nat ional Defense. Mrs. P. K. Harmon, vice re gent, reported on the Fall State meeting which she and Mis. Elliott attended in Col umbia on September 6. Mrs. M. P. Bowler, second vice regent, gave out the at tractive year books and ex plained how the qualifications were met. Mrs. W. R. Reid, magazine chairman, urged members to subscribe during September so that the October iss" 0 would reach them on time. When the members arrived, the hostesses, Mrs. P. K. Har mon, Mrs. Kemper Lake, Mrs. Meredith Harmon, Mrs. Lucy McKeown and Mrs. Maude Ross served sandwiches, ham biscuit, tarts and punch to the 26 mem bers present.

USS TRIPOLI — Seaman Apprentice George W. Laird, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Laird of 21 JO Osborne Avenue participated in the amphibious operation “Belt Drive” along theeo'ast of South Vietnam aboard the amphibious assault ship Tripoli. The assault was the prelude to a Marine search ami destroy mission, and his ship landed Marines, cargo, weapons and ammunition on beaches about 20 miles north of Hue, Vietnam. Almost all sporting dogs now providing enjoyment on the American hunting scene have their origins in European coun tries. Notable exceptions are the Chesapeake Bay retriever and the American water spaniel Various strains and families of foxhounds and coonhounds also are “native.” The Afgan hound and the Saluki come from other parts. It now appears that within a decade or so, we may have two new additions to the American hunting-dog kennel — though they are not new breeds in the fullest sense of the word, for they have been well established in their own native countries and have proved their worth.' These are the Basenji, the hunting hound of Africa, and the Akita, imported many years ago from China to Japan and now very popular in the latter country. The Basenji has been ir the United States for some year^, nnH tbn"" 1 ’ ■■ - ‘ used extensively here as a sport ing dog, those sportmen who have tried to utilize his talents in the field have found the breed quite versatile. Some individuals have been known to point game birds; most have proved to be good trail hounds. The Basenji is unique among dogs in that, although no mute, he has no “bark.” In its place he has an appealing “yodel,” which he uses to express both pleasure & disapproval by a change in tone. The Akita, though also prick- eared and curl-tailed, is a dog of different nature and capabili ties. In Japan he was originally bred for hunting black bears and has also been used there for hunting boars and deer. A Californian who has tried many experiments with Akitas con firms that although they are very versatile, their most natu ral traits and instincts appear to be in the big-game-hunting field. In addition to a great facility for pointing or flushing deer, they have a strong dislike for bears and mountain lions and will attack them on sight It is suggested that Akitas trained in pairs could be used to best advantage in fighting these dtingenous species when the game is brought to bay; in this way they would save many val uable tracking hounds from be ing mangled and killed. To many sportsmen, a prick- eared, curl-tailed dog may some how just not seem “right” as a hunting dog, observes Henry P. Davis, Sporting Dogs Editor of Sports Afield Magazine. But these breeds have already prov ed their value afield in their native countries, and as Ameri can sportsmen become more familiar with them, this pre judice may be overcome. The United States has no monopoly on good sporting breeds, and we could stand a few more “inva sions” of this kind. Open a savings account* of $50 or more, and take your choice of 3 gifts FREE!
