Fire dept, activity Fires to be reported: 8-14-68, 12:15 p.m. House fire, owner, Will Byrd; occupant, Wilbur Stevens; house located about 3/4 mile above Billy Shep pard’s store off of Highway 34. Alarms answered by Silver- street and Chappells fire de partment. Damage: total loss. 8-16-68, 6:00 p.m. Grass fire on 1-26 near Highway 49 inter change. Alarm answered by Po- maria Fire department. Four ways to reduce fire haz ards: 1. Be sure that you know the location of the nearest fire a- larm box - and how to turn in an alarm - also, how to send in an alarm by telephone. 2. DON’T smoke in bed - or when lying down - or even when you are likely to fall asleep in a chair. Infractions of this rule leads to the loss of many liv«i millions of dollars’ worth of property. 3. DON’T permit accumulations of old papers or other trash in any closet, on basement stairs, in the attic, basement, garage or on the porch - any place where, if a fire started, it could spread and destroy property. 4. DON’T put hot ashes in wood or paper containers - nor dump them near buildings or fences. TB filmstrip is available The Tuberculosis and Health Association of Area Six has acquired a new filmstrip, “Air Pollution and You.” The film strip contains 46 frames in co lor, and comes with a discussion guide. Officials of the association believe this filmstrip will make a fine opener for meetings, lec tures, or discussions on the cit izen’s part in air pollution con trol. It is also appropriate for use with high school and college groups. This filmstrip and the new film an emphysema, “The Bat tle to Breathe.” are available without charge to any group in Abbeville, Edgefield, Green wood, Laurens, McCormick, Newberry, and Saluda counties. These films and others on health may be obtained through the Greenwood School District or the Tuberculosis and Health Association, 201 West Main St., Room 204, Laurens, S. C.

BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) “. . . the audience sang, ‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name’ while pictures of blood and gore flashed in rapid sequence on the screen. “There was a reading of Scripture passages associated with the Lord’s Supper, follow ed by a sermon by Dr. John F. Anderson, Jr. . . . With all other participants he wore informal attire. They had on sport or athletic shirts, slacks, occasion ally sneakers. . .While the congregation was singing ‘We Shall Over come’, the theme song of the ‘freedom’ movement, the offer ing was received. . .a procession of banners took place and cel ebrant came in from the side doors bearing loaves of French bread and tin pitchers of grape juice. “. . . Huge banners came down the aisles, circled the aud itorium, then were placed on the stage.” (Among the mess ages “Sock It To Me, Jesus”, “Wise Up, O Men of God”, “How Sweet it Is”. At the last moment the conference leaders decided to eliminate the banner w'hich proclaimed, “The Ter rific Trio—Father, Son & H. Ghost, Inc.”) “Celebrants of the Lords Supper marched in. . . the jazz band struck up a stirring ver sion of ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic’. Out of their places the congregation filed foward to the tables, singing, swaying and clapping in dance rhythm. “It took almost a full hour to get everyone who wanted to participate past the tables, to be handed a piece of bread and to have raised to his lips the common glass of juice. Mean while the music and the clap ping grew louder and louder as excitement mounted. At the end the leader called for ‘sac ramental applause’ and the raf ters rang with the screaming. At this point the excitement was so volatile that simeone remarked that if the leader had intoned, ‘Now go burn down Montreat’ it would prob ably have been done.” Another writer in the Journal tells something of the activi ties of the conference preceding the “Sunday Spectacular”. This writer reports, “A side show at this circus performed periodically through the week: Five young Negro men from Houston, Texas, Co mmunity Action Team (CAT) were informally billed as the Black Cats. Sponsored by the Brazos Presbytery, they had a presbytery staff member in tow. They wore fancy shirts, san dals, ornamental medallions on chains and you couldn’t miss seeing them at least one of them anywhere you turned. “Neither could you miss hearing them. What a bunch of big-mouths! Rising to speak ex tempore in the dining room or classroom or playing jazz introductions to what were sup posed to be serious programs, they stayed in evidence. “One morning they staged a ‘spontaneous rebellion’ on the steps of the auditorium during the coffee break. Haranguing the delighted white crowd with taunts of, ‘Hey, you niggers- how you like to be called nig gers? Any Uncle Toms out there ? Any handkerchief heads? Come on up close and maybe you can even smell like niggers. . . ’ They went on to scold the group for going to classes instead of doing some thing. “. . . we had a modern dance seen in silhouette on the big screen. Except for that per formance, I could have confi dently said I have never seen a burlesque show. The ‘Cats’ provided the music on flute, bass and bongo drums. . . ” Perhaps I had better remind you again that this was an of ficial conference sponsored by official agencies of the South ern Presbyterian Church, paid for by the money you Pres byterians contribute to your denomination. Isn’t it disgusting? Hugh Marrett service today Hugh Benson Marrett, 56, of Rt. 4, Newberry, died Tues day afternoon in a Columbia veterans hospital. He was a native of Anderson, son of the late C.
