Always A Color Cartoon BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) of the funeral for the same reason. This Wallace sentiment isn't confined to the so-called “work ing class” or union members. Among others who have told me recently that they will vote for Wallace are an eminent college professor and his wife; the wife of a successful auto mobile dealer; a school teacher; the holder of a high office in the county; a highly regarded local businessman. The News is not only antag onizing the blue-collar worker with its repeated attacks on George Wallace; there are many “white collar” folks who are getting a little hot under those collars about it too. The News had a little prob lem in handling the choice of Curtis LeMay to be Wallace’s running mate. They couldn’t find anything but good about this outstanding general who played a vital part in the win ning of World War II, so it solved its dilemma by charac terizing General LeMay as “an angry, screaming eagle ready, willing and able to pounce up on the enemy and utterly des troy him.” Has it not occurred to the News that this is what the people want, to see the enemy utterly destroyed? Americans are getting sick and tired of this political war. They are tired of seeing thous ands of innocent American boys killed and maimed for life be cause of the dilly-dallying of politicians. They want an end to this mess and after all these years it seems the only end is to be the utter destruction of the enemy. General LeMay is a fine addition to the Independent ticket and there is no doubt whatsoever that he will bring many additional votes to this ever-growing third party. His view of nuclear weapons is a sound one—it’s just another weapon in the storehouse for use when needed. He says that Americans have an “unreason able fear” of nuclear weapons. This is thanks to brainwashing by left-wing news media. I can see no difference in killing 10,000 people in ten air raids with conventional bombs and killing the same number in one raid with one bomb. No one wants to see innocent civilians killed; but what of the inno cent American servicemen who are daily sacrificing their lives in a war they are not allowed to win? It is hard to picture the outcome but one thing is sure: of the six men who are run ning on the three tickers, Gen eral LeMay is by far the most qualified to end this mess in Vietnam. Holmes directs orchid show at State Fair Radiant beauty and color will become a part of the South Carolina State Fair with the staging of an accredited orchid show featuring blooms from throughout the Southeast. A section of the exhibit area of the October 21-26 State Fair will be transformed into a fairyland of color and beauty by the thousands of blooms and plants from as far away as California. Members of the South Caro lina Orchid Society are going all out to make their first show at the State Fair an event to be remembered. “It should be a real asset to the Fair,” said Society Presid ent Herman A. Neal of Col umbia. “Many hours of hard work are being put into the show by our members scatter ed over South Carolina.” Some 35 exhibits are expect ed from commercial and ama teur orchid growers. The orchid show will run from October 23 at 1 p.m. thru October 26 at 4 p.m. There will be exhibits along with arrangements, bridal bou quets and corsages. Special dis plays will be set up by the North Carolina Orchid Society and the Atlanta, Ga. Orchid Society.

Clean-Up week report given Bill O’Dell, chairman of the County Beautification Pro gram’s Clean-Up Week has issued the following report of activities: During the week of Septem ber 15-21 we began our cam paign by showing a film en titled Lassie’s Litter Bit which was shown to approximately 3,100 students in most of the elementary schools of Newber ry county. The film was warm ly received and we feel this has certainly helped towards keeping our county clean. On Monday, Sept. 16 with the cooperation of Champion Paper Co. (Martyn Cavanaugh, Manager of Newberry District) and Mr. Gill, there was a road (in upper Newberry county) where garbage had been dump ed for a number of years and this garbage was stretched over about 2 miles Of the road. With equipment of Champion Paper Co., this was bulldozed into a gully and both sides of this road were left clean and attractive. Roads have been made in different locations so that additional garbage may be dumped into the gully and as this gully fills it will be covered over through coopera tion of Newberry county. On Saturday, Sept 21 with the cooperation of the Newber ry City Fire Dept., the City of Newberry and the Rural Fire Departments we collected any litter-garbage from 8:00 a.m. to 12 noon. At each of the rural fire stations there were two trucks available for pickup of litter and garbage and all sta tions responded to many calls. In the city of Newberry we had several trucks (of the city) standing by and they also re ceived many calls for pick-up of litter. All trucks of Rural and City Fire Depts. were dis patched through cooperation of Newberry City Fire Dept. In addition to trucks we were fortunate to have the Sparky Fire Prevention mem bers who went up and down most streets of the city and picked up all paper, bottles, cans and any other debris.
