A MOTHER
I know of nothing more fit
ting to fill this column this
week than the remarks made
at College May Day last Sun
day by Miss Verna Kohn.
this year's May Day was
dedicated to the mothers of the
students, and Miss Kohn paid
the tribute to motherhood.
With Mother's Day coming
up Sunday, this is a good op
portunity to dedicate a column
to my mother and add that she
is all the things Verna des
cribes but that doesn't nearly
cover it all because there are
some things that words just do
not adequately describe.
following are Miss Kohn's
remarks
What Is A Mother?
A mother is that warm and
fragrant lorm that cradles you.
You feel her and smell her and
hear her. and m your baby
reasoning you know that all of
those things mean love and
eomiort A mother !.-• a pair
of hands that gently change,
and ehange. and ehange dia
pers. She's a hand to steady
\ou as you totter or to pick
vou up when you fall down on
your first attempts at naviga
tion A mother is lips teaching
you sounds later to become
words, then sentenees She's
the patient answer to all your
why's" that begin your world
of insatiable curiosity A moth
er is the "no-no's" that begin
early in life, teaching you in
trinsic values which stand you
throughout your life.
A mother is the quiet pray
ers at bedtime. She's summer
picnics and toll camping Wms
end good winter fruit cake
smell and spring strolls after
refreshing rams, ever teaching
\ou things never to be learned
: n books. She's the "brush-
your teeth and eat your spin
ach" She's your Easter bunny,
your tooth fairy, and your
Santa all rolled into one She's
the hand that holds yours dur-
ng a frightful blunder storm;
and the hand that dries your
tears after a hurtful fall; and

A mother is lots of homework
answers. She's your best lunch
packer, and she's that surprise
note in the bottom of your
lunch box that reads: "Let's go
to the movies this afternoon,
just the two of us". And you
can hardly wait for the clos

Guard alert is
just practice:
no emergency
Some 300 National Guards
men were stationed at various
public buildings, industries and
utilities in the county on an an
nual routine alert at 6 p.m.
Tuesday.
Only the date came as a sur
prise. because the Guardsmen
were informed some time ago
that an alert would be staged
before the end of May. Offi
cials emphasized that this was
a practice alert of the kind
carried out every year.
< ol. ,J. W. Henderson, form
er commander of the Second
Brigade 30th Mechanized Divi-
ion here, and now commander
ot the Emergency Operating
i headquarters m Columbia, said
tlie alert is ' a routine thing,
done all over the state and na
tion each year
He said iki emergency twist
ed m the county and the alert
was called only to test the mo
bilization plan of the guard unit
as has been done m past years.
Local Guard officers and
Army Advisors were reported
to be pleased \wtfi the manner
m which Guardsmen responded
to the alert The date had been
kept a set ret and no one at the
local armory knew the alert
v\as to he called until 4 3u on

Newberry Bills
get approval
in Senate
Three local bills affecting the
county won final legislative ap
proval of the Senate Tuesday.
One measure revamps the
Newberrv Countv Water Auth-
School plan for
next year said
not acceptable
Word has been received from
the Department of Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare that the
Newberry County School dese
gregation Plan for 1969-70 has
not been apprvoed byt hee R-
not been approved by the Re
gional Office in Atlanta, Ga.
This announcement was made
by Ralph E. Watkins, director
of Newberry County Schools.
Mr. Watkins said that steps
are being taken by the Region
al Office to refer the district's
file to the Washington office for
the initiation of administrative
enforcement proceedings pur
suant to Section 602 of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964. If enforce
ment proceedings are initiated
and if an order for termina
tion of the district's Federal
financial assistance is subse
quently issued, the order could
take effect at any time follow
ing the close of the 1968-69
school year Mr. Watkins said.
Small group is
on hand for
Choice meeting
Only about 100 persons turn
ed out for a meeting of the
Citizens for Freedom of Choice
Tuesday night.
The smallness of the group
came as a surprise, since pre
sent plans call for the total,
forced integration of students
and faculty in the first through
fifth grades of the school sys
tem for the 1969-70 session.
Eugene C. Griffith, chairman
)f the group until succeeded
Tuesday night by J. P. Hawk-
ms. had issued an appeal that
interested citizens attend the
meeting so that plans could be
made well in advance of school
opening.
Chairman tiawkins and co-
Chairman Rev. Thomas Damn
expressed disappointment at the
apathy of the public. "Educa
tion has gotten in a bad way
and one of the reasons is that
people don't want to have to
bother with it". Hawkins said.
Rev. Damn told the group,
"We've sat back and done no
thing and left our fighting for
others to do. . .we've got to
get our congressmen out of the
ivory palace and back to the
people. Ninety percent of the
congressmen have their child
ren in private schools but they
tell a different story in Con
gress. They are hypocrites, all
of them.”
The group elected seven per
sons to represent the seven
school ureas in the county to
serve on the executive commit
tee.
"The most we can hope for
is to be an advisory group,”
Hawkins said, "respected by
those who make the 1 decisions
A quiet firm stand is sorely
needed by the independent
thinking citizens to win back
our freedoms."
In addition to naming Haw
kins and Daurn. the group sel
ected James N. Harr to serve
as secretary.
