Cheryl Reeves, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Reeves. Sir Christopher Wren, the builder of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, was a famous architect of the 17th and 18th centuries. Once he was building a church edifice in London when he was severely critized by a group of jealous architects. He was told that his type of architecture would not support the massive roof he was putting on the building. After much debate and Sir Christopher’s insistence that his archi tecture would easy support the roof, the officials ordered Sir Christopher to put in additional supporting pillars. Sir Christopher, reluctantly and in sisting that they were not needed, did as he was ordered. Here was the story of a genius in his field who was forced to go against his own conclusions because ot the envy of his competitors. Jealousy Enters Funny, sometimes, the way jeal ousy gets into our system. Someone can do something just a little better than we can, someone gets recognized as being a little more capable than we are, someone rises above us and we seek to pull them down. It seems that if Sir Christopher found a new way to support a roof that his competitors would rejoice with him and learn from him. But such wasn’t the case. They turned against him, scorned and laughed and ridiculed him, and sold the public a bill of goods that his way just wouldn’t work. There are many cases like that in history. Someone comes along with something new, different, better, and we unloose our jealousy on him. We are so self-centered that we will not allow ourselves to recognize greatness when it comes. Rather than paying tribute to greatness, we attempt, and often succeed, in pulling the other per son down. Galileo knew something about this. Another Treated That Way They treated the Fisher of Men that way, you know. He came with a new way, a more excellent method, a clear er revelation of what the Creator was like, and His fellow counterparts sought a way to destroy Him. He won the hearts of a few men but men in His profession turned against Him. He was doing something new, some thing that He knew would work. He had full confidence in Himself and His work, but jealousy burned in the hearts of the recognized religious leaders. They sought to destroy Him. Rather than listen to what this Man had to say and see if it were true or not, they closed their ears and would not hear His message and, prompted by jealousy and selfishness, set about to get rid of Him. He was a threat to their position! Let someone get in front of us and rather than joining them, we try to pull them down. But life never lets anyone climb higher by pulling an other down. Fifty years after Sir Christopher had finished the church building, some painters were doing some repair work on the church. It was then dis covered that the additional pillars that Sir Christopher placed in the building missed the roof by two feet! Greatness cannot be destroyed by jealousy. Greatness is at least two feet taller! —Five Star Features Liberty Tree cast is busy Moving into its second month of production the Liberty Tree will begin a series of special nights honoring counties across the state. The first of these will be Colleton County night on July 21st followed by Newberry County on the 22nd. Lexington County on the 24th. Sumter on the 26th and Saluda on the 29th. In August there will be Camden- Kershaw night on the 6th and Calhoun County night on the 7th In addition to the nights al ready scheduled other countie, and civic groups have been con tracted to arrange "nights". This county night program has been very popular in the past as it gave individuals in a coun ty the chance to see the play on their night at a discount. Civic and special interest groups are also taking advan tage of the program by having special nights, too.

Winthrop girls win prize with ‘smoking rats’ Three Winthrop College psy chology majors, intrigued with the possible effect of tobacco smoking on learning, parleyed this curiosity, an ability to read French and a helpful chemistry department into an award-win ning paper in psychology. The students, Ann Dunn of Columbia, Tena Jones of Lake City, and Peggy 0‘Neill who is from Charleston, won first prize in the student competition spon sored by the South Carolina Psy chology Association. The paper was titled, "The Effects of Tobacco Smoke on the Acquisition and Retention of an Avoidance Response in Male Albino Rats’’—or, to the layman, does smoking affect learning? Their award-winning research returned the Association’s plaq ue to Winthrop for the second year, bringing Winthrop’s wins to six of the past 10 competi tions in psychology. "There had been so much on tobacco smoke in the newspap ers that we were curious about its effect on learning,’’ the girls explained. "Then we found an article, written in French, on this type of research. So we submitted the project to our advisor and he approved.’’ That’s when the girls ran into their first problems—how t o "smoke" the rats and what to use. What to use was easy—pipe tobacco because cigarettes NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT 1 will make a final settlement of the estate of Estelle S. Har mon in the Probate Court for Newberry County. S.

The girls reported fail ures at first. "We couldn t get the smoke into the Skinner box. Finally, some of the chemistry professors helped us with a burn er and hose that worked.” The findings? The girls were quick to point out that their research "Doesn’t apply to humans—only to rats”, but even on that basis one of the two smokers in the research team quit smoking after the ex periment. "It really didn’t have any thing to do with the findings,” she said. "It was just that the burner got so black and nasty looking that I decided to give up smoking.” They did find that small doses of smoke caused an increased activity level, and that mas sive (for a rat) doses had a detrimental or adverse effect.
