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?
