PAGE 4 — The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C„ Thursday, July 31, 1969 Folk musical be presented Sunday night Young people of 17 Newberry churches will join next Sunday evening, August 3, in a perform ance of the new folk musical about God, “Tell It Like It is.” The performance, beginning at 8 p.m. in Wiles Chapel on the Newberry College campus, is open to the public without ad mission charge. An offering will be received. Babes in arms are discouraged from attending. Rehearsals for the contemp orary musical expression of the Christian faith have been in progress since June, with more than 80 young people participat ing. Musical director is the Rev. J. Anderson Bass, Jr., the pastor of the First Baptist Church. The musical, written by Ralph Carmichael and Kurt Kaiser, is a folk musical about God, who He is, how He reveals Himself, what He is like, and some of the problems with which indi viduals are confronted when they believe in Him. The com posers call it “a folk musical with the new sound. . .the old message. . in today’s words. . . today’s spirit. . .the gospel tc the ‘now’ generation . .that God lives. . .and loves.” In Newberry, Mr. Bass said the young people “are finding 'Tell It Like It Is' a breath of fresh air amidst the traditions of the church. 'Tell It Like It Is' packs a real spiritual wal lop that encourages a deep spir itual commitment to Jesus Christ. We hope to share this spiritual message with many people.” The chorus will be accompan ied by piano, guitars, drums, bells and other instruments.

Open Forum The Bi-Lo Super Market Inc. is planning on building a dis count food store on 76 By-Pass in Newberry County. We feel that a store of that kind along with others, that will put up a shopping center, should add to the economical well-being of Our Fair City. We do not, however, want Bi- Lo nor any other store of that nature to come to Newberry and furnish employment for White people only. The Bi-Lo store located on Highway 221 going toward Ches- nee, S. C., just outside the city limits of Spartanburg, does not have the first black man in that store as an employee. We feel that in this age of inte gration and outer space that we should take under consideration the economical upgrading of all citizens regardless to race, col or or creed. We as citizens must quit talk ing about right and start doing right. I would like to give warning to all the merchants, along with the banks in Newberry, that you would do well to open up your nearts and hire some Black people. It is not fair for our people to go to the banks and stores, and see no one of color working at any job other than that of a floor sweeper or messenger. We want our city to be a fit place for all citizens to live in, but unless this unfair employ ment practice is stopped, I am afraid that we are in for some trouble. We hear and read about race riots, looting, killing and fires in other cities. We don’t want anything of that nature to hap pen here. We must be mindful, however of the conditions that give rise to looting, fires and killing. They come from unem ployment, hunger, poverty and discontent. A man that is un employed, poor and hungry is dangerous. I understand quite well that you can’t give employment to everyone, but you can show good faith by hiring a few. “A Hint To The Wise Is Suf ficient”. (Rev.) E. E.
