PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, May 9, 1968 SURVEY SHOWS (Continued from pake 1) Regional influences which affect the potential of the city business market includes the loss of customers to the cul tural and entertainment cen ters and to the down town area and shopping centers of Col umbia and Greenwood, the re port said. Also contributing to the mi gration of potential customers in the development of surround ing retail centers, a sharp de cline in service trades in the downtown area, and a propos ed major regional shopping center at the intersection of 1-26 and 1-20 southeast of Newberry, according to the report. Terry Love, an architect with the planning firm, pre sented the results of the sur vey, and said that the report represents the foundation for the preparation of a practical and comprehensive plan for reviving the downtown business area. Gerald Paysinger, president of the Association, said the executive committee voted af ter hearing the report to rec ommend to the board of dir ectors that the Association proceed with the program. He said the actual cost would de pend on the final report out lining renovation and new construction acceptable to the Association. TO REPRESENT LAW CLASS W.

The First Amendment to the Constitution, behind which the rioters hide, should be brought back into perspective, he said. He was referring to the pro vision in the Amendment, “or the right of the people peace ably to assemble, and to peti tion the Government for a re dress of grievances,” and he pointed out that the word, “peaceably” seems to have been forgotten. He characterized the “Poor People’s March” as the worst thing that could happen in this country because it can only bring about more trouble. He blamed the politicians for creating an atmosphere for the Negro uprisings, by promising pie-in-the-sky and not deliver ing. Too much has been said about “rights”, he• said, and too little has been said about “responsibility.” Dr. Truesdell scorned the idea that everyone should be guaranteed a minimum wage, whether he wants to work or not, noting that too many per sons today will not or cannot work on a sustained basis be cause they are too accustomed to living on government hand outs. The most important portion of Dr. Truesdell’s sermon, as far as I was concerned, was that he took a stand against the action of officials of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. (Southern ^ . He displayed, and denounced, a letter sent out by the Moderator of the General Assembly, giving the caravan routes for the “Poor People’s March” with a suggestion that the local churches might in some way help these “poor peo ple” in their efforts. He also read portions of a letter sent out by the Executive Secretary of Women’s Work In The Church, urging the local women to help with the march. He questioned the wisdom and the legality of the church officials in sending $500 to Martin Lu ther King’s group and $7000 to the “starving” garbage worker strikers in Memphis. At long last I have a little hope. The reaction of the mem bers of the congregation with whom I talked was the same as mine—and if they will give their pastor support and see that these views get to the higher councils of the church there may still be hope that the church will not be com pletely destroyed. Another interesting indica tion of awakening of the lay men in the church was a state ment I heard the other day by a member of a Lutheran church —“We looked at the material sent us for use by the young people in the Sunday School.” she said, “and promptly boxed it up and sent it back to the publishing house.” It has taken a long, long time and I have not written much on the subject recently because I thought it was a lost cause. Now there may be reason to hope—and if the peo ple can “clean up” their churches, their denominations, perhaps then they will clean up their church colleges and seminaries and we could hope for some return to sanity in this country.
