PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Nov. 16, 1967 NEWBERRY FEDERAL (Continu'd from page 1) a passageway to the south of the directors room leading into a community room which is also available from the rear vesti bule for after office hour use. A partial basement running the length of the building on the north side will contain a future electronic data process ing area and storage. This area has been designed as a fallout shelter if such should ever be needed. There is a drive up window and a night depository will be available at the drive up win dow. The building is completely air conditioned, and the overall fee ling of both the interior and the exterior is contemporary design. The furniture is also contempo rary to match the decor of the entire first floor banking area. In commenting on the need for a new and larger home office building, Mr. John F. Clarkson, President, stated that Newberry Federal which was organized in 1935 has grown to Twenty-Eight Mill ion Dollars in size, having 11, 000 saving accounts and 4,500 home loans. Newberry Federeal has the distinction of being the largest federal savings and loan assoc iation in South Carolina in proportion to the population of the city or county in which it operates. Newberry Federal in the past ten years has grown from Nine Million Dollars to Twenty-Eight Million Dollars, or tripled in size, and its pres ent growth is at the rate of Two Million Dollars per year. Mr. Clarkson states that the most gratifying part is that the growth of its reserves has kept pace with the total growth in resources. Ten years ago the reserves of Newberry Federal were Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars and they row total Two Million, Two Hundred Fifly Thousand Dollars, or tripled in size during the past ten years.

Clover Leaf FRIDAY & SATURDAY Divorce American Style Dick Van Dyke, Debbie Rey nolds, Jason Robards SUNDAY Hurry Sundown Michael Caine, Jane Fonda, John Phillip Always a Color Cartoon the past 35 years, states that Newberry Federal has kept pice with economic growth in Newberry over the past few years. He commented that the three industrial plants in New berry, together with the con tinued growth of Newberry College, have created a large demand for new homes in New berry and Newberry County. Mr. Willingham pointed out that even though some areas in South Carolina suffered from the effects of the tight money situation, Newberry Federal’s growth in savings has been suf ficient to allow the association to provide for the new homes needed by the people of New berry County. BY THE WAY population growth by almost 7 to 1. We are told that revised and improved reporting methods by law enforcement agencies result in more violations being report ed. This contention carries no weight. Hundreds of depart ments which have had approved uniform crime reporting sys tems for years continue to have increase in all catergories year after year with no change what soever in their reporting meth ods. These increases are attrib utable to only one thing—a rise in the volume of crime. Further, agencies which do update their reporting systems are not in cluded in the national trend totals until they have establis hed two comparable records under their revised setup. This is done to avoid any marked in crease or decrease which may result from a change in report ing procedures. And we are told that much of the rise in crime is caused by the extensive population growth of the crime-prone young age group. The young-age-group population, 10 to 17 years, rose 19 per cent during the 7-year period of 1960 through 1966. Arrests of persons in this group for serious crimes increased 54 percent during the same time. No right-thinkin£ person could oppose long ige pro grams to alleviate ana eradicate conditions which breed crime. But the man, woman, and child on the street today are more concerned with immediate saf ety. And rightly so, since the risk of their becoming victims of serious crime has risen 48 per cent since 1960. The young child who is criminally assaulted, the corner grocer who is repeatedly robb ed, the elderly lady at the bus stop is mugged and brutally beaten, and the thousands of others who are victimized each day by vicious thugs want in stant as fell as permanent re lief. They, too, have rights. But their cries for help are fre quently drowned out by the clamor for mercy and leniency for guilty lawbreakers who sco ff at law and order and the rights of society. Justice must extend beyond the courtroom back to the site where the victim’s rights are violated. When the individual is no longer reasonably secure in his home and on the streets of community, then justice is not served. Rather, the criminal is being favored at the expense of the law-abiding citizen. Crime can no longer be shr ouded by appeasement and rat ionalization. Its magnitude is flightening. Crime must be re duced by eliminating the huge profits and the soft justice which attracts criminal-minded individuals. Avalanches of crime and terrorism cannot be tolerated in a society of free men. Either we win the war ag ainst crime or the priceless her itage which we cherish wdll be destroyed. Full justice is needed—stern justice. We need justice which keeps the balance true and aff ords the law-abiding public an even break. We need justice which deals swiftly and surely with the criminal, convincing justice which means a quick Sister dies in N. Carolina Mrs. Mable Albrecht Clup, 65, of Gastonia, N.

Miller, Mrs. P. D. Johnson Sr., Mrs. L. G. Eskridge, Mrs. Geneva Bickerstaff and Mrs. R. E. Leavell. Upon arrival, a brief social period, during which the hos tesses served delicious refresh ments, was enjoyed by those present. Three visitors, Mrs. Raffield, Mrs. Duffie, and Mrs. Jordan, were welcomed by the group. The president, Mrs. C. S. Owens, opened the meeting with prayer and Miss Dorothy Buzhardt, chaplain, led the opening ritual. Miss Juanita Hitt, Historian, introduced the program, a con tinuation of “The Parade Of Heroes,” by reading the “Creed of a South Carolinian” taken from “Tall Pines” by Col. John May. Mrs. W. H. Tedford told about the lift of John Hunt Morgan, a native of Alabama, and Captain of a volunteer unit of Kentucky Calvary. He was described as a yellow jacket among Blue Coats. He led a series of raids to destroy rail road trains, military supplies, and bridges, but never allowed pillaging. He was a gallant gentleman and a gallant knight. Mrs. Tedford also told of the fearless deeds of Edward Kirby Smith of St. Augustine, Fla., a graduate of West Point. He served in the Mexican war and later resigned his commission in the United States army when Florida seceded. He was made Lt. Col., Brig. Gen., and Maj. Gen. during His years of service, and was given com mand of the Confederate forces west of the Mississippi. His forces were last to surrender at the close of the war. Another hero referred to was Richard “Dick” Taylor of Louisiana, son of Zachary Tay lor. He was a state senator, then Colonel of the 9th Louis iana Infantry, later becoming Major Gen. and Lt. Gen. After the war he wrote a book on “Construction and Reconstruc tion.” He also worked vigorous ly for the release of the Con federate prisoners. Mrs. Ray Nobles presented an interesting story about the ivy which is growing at Beau voir, the Mississippi estate be queathed to Jefferson Davis by Mrs. Dorsey in 1879, and where the last ten years of his life were spent. President and Mrs. Davis were guests at Windsor Castle in England where Mrs. Davis admired the ivy grow ing there. The gardener offered her some cuttings, which she carefully carried around with her for the remainder of the trip and, finally planted at home. Some of the ivy was later given to a neighbor, who gave some to a daughter. A number of people now have plants which can be traced to Beauvoqir. One Mississippi lady makes wreaths of it each year and takes one to the Davis home and one to the Jefferson Davis Monument in honor of President Davis’ birthday. Mrs. Nobles also presented a summary of the life and deeds of Gen. Albert Pike of Arkansas, a gentleman and a scholar of distinction, who made friends with the Indians, and was appointed by Presid ent Davis as Commissioner to the Indians. He was able to keep the border quiet and en listed the help of the Indians, especially at Pea Ridge. He had helped the Indians get money from the government for their lands. He had many legal successes after the war. He was a Master Mason and Fath er of Scottish Rites. Mrs. A. C. Garlington, told about two of Newberry’s own heroes, Maj. James Fitz James Caldwell and Dr. Spencer Glas gow Welch. Major Caldwell was cited for bravery during the war. After volunteering, he served in Virginia. After the war, he practiced law and was attorney for the old National Band, and for the Richmond & Danville railroad. He was also the author of a “History of McGowan’s Brigade.” Dr. Spencer G. Welch, father of Mrs. Eloise Welch Wright, served with distinction as a member of Co. D, 13th Regi ment of McGowan’s Brigade. He attended medical college and was married to Miss Cornelia Strother. A collection of his letters to his wife were pub lished under the title, “A Con federate Veteran’s Letters To His Wife.” The program closed with the reading by Mrs. J. F. Haw kins of “Ashes of Glory.” Mrs. A. T. Neely made a report on the State Convention. The Calvin Crozier Chapter won the award for the best report of Historical Programs during the year.
