COMMENT
on
Men & Things
By J. K. BREED IN
The death of Sen. Dirkson
takes from our public life an
outstanding citizen; he was a
Republican who earned the res
pect of the Democrats.
The President will miss the
counsel of Mr. Dirkson; and so
will our Nation miss a Senator
who had a national vision.
We need not wait for a trag
edy to inspire us to express ap
preciation of some men in pub
lic life I find much in the career
of Sen. Strom Thurmond to ad
mire; he, too. has a grasp that
is National in scope.
The probable seating of Judge
Haynsworth brings to the front
a man who has had a long car
eer on the appellate court and
is a man who interprets and ap
plies the law according to the
"time honored” attitude of the
great Court.
I take the liberty to suggest
that the President recommend
a law by Congress defining the
scope of the Supreme Court de
cisions. as provided in the Con
stitution of the United States.
Our friends who are not law
yers may not know that the
Constitution m indicating cer
tain exclusive prerogatives of
the Supreme Court, also indicate
clearly that the Congress may
indicate the scope of the Su
preme Court other than that en
joyed by the court.
I think the attitude of the
President in restricting public
expenditures is very wholesome
and deserving of National com
mendation. Our national budget
is in the billions of dollars and
rests heavily on the taxpayers
and almost saps the ambition of
many men to engage in useful
operations. This great Nation
rests on the labor, capital, am
bition, and intelligence of men
who sacrificed to do something
constructive, to utilize and dev
elop great opportunities which
the average man overlooks;
such men deserve the reward
which springs from their ef
forts.
Unfortunately the National and
the State view is political and
inclined to be hostile to great
constructive efforts.
Not only in our Congress is
the view political but very strong
in our State legislature.
It is unfortunate that lawyers
preponderate in Congress and in
the State Legislature. I am not
out of sympathy with the law
yers but lawyers are seldom in
the forefront of great enter
prises, being rather, quiet fig
ures as counsel of the men who
have planned and sacrificed
and brought things to pass.

I shall introduce myself and
family. Otis and Carolyn Scales,
and three children Kelly, Gary,
and Kathy. Mrs. Bud Gaffney,
my sister, resides in Whitmire.
I live in North Biloxi, an area
in which Camille struck. There
was five feet of water a mile
from where my house is located.
Two miles away houses were
knocked off of their foundations,
or completely gone, not a trace
of lumber or bricks to show
where the houses once stood.
Trees were up-rooted by thou
sands. Three million dollars has
been spent to clear the debris
away.
The stretch along the beach
(Highway 90), from Biloxi into
Louisiana has been practically
destroyed. It is very depressing
to ride down the beach with all
that is left is rubble left from
the aftermath of the storm. The
highway along the beach was
beautiful. Hotels, motels, night
clubs. restaurants, and many
beautiful homes that were full
of history and antiques.
1 have never seen people so
close as they were after the
storm. Everyone was trying to
help each other. I was working
seven days a week in the hos
pital at the base, but I helped
the people as much as 1 could
I want to thank all the people
of Newberry and Whitmire for
their generous help. I have dis
tributed the clothes and turned
over the checks to the Biloxi
Relief Fund. The people are
grateful for everything that was
sent

Letter to Editor
Dear Mrs. Sanders:
As just one citizen of the city
of Newberry. I wish to express
to you my appreciation lor your
editorial on Sept. 18, concern
ing the Newberry City Council
and the re-evaluation matter.
In my mind you did not express
any ideas, opinions or any flight
of fancy, you simply gave the
FACTS as they were. I believe
them just as you gave them
and 1 am wondering just how
many citizens of Newberry are
disturbed over these conditions.
As you very well know people
today seem to be indifferent or
simply don't care what happens.
Perhaps they are so disgusted
that they have given up. The old
saying. "Far Off Cows Have
Long Horns' seems to be the
main idea today. If it happens
in Washington, they become up
set and get angry, but if it
happens under our nose, why
pay no attention to it. To me
personally that matter w a s
something of importance and
shows many things up close to
the front.
You recall some several
months back you also wrote an
article or editorial on secret
meetings. That seems to be a
quiet issue today. I do not know
if they still have these secret
meetings or not. I want to thank
you als" for that article. I feel
that these things can be of great
help in informing the people,
but I wonder if the people care
what happens.
I hope you will continue to
give the people the facts and
keep them informed. Would yoi
mind suggesting to the counci
that they have some public for
ums and on very important is
sues, have a referendum.
Yours truly,
DEWEY KLNARD

For the past several years
the Newberry County United
Musical duo
to perform
The Lucktenberg Duo will be
highlighted in the first Newber
ry College Artists and Lectures
Series concert of the season at
8 p.m. October 2 in Wiles Chap
el on the campus.
Jerrie Lucktenberg, violinist,
and George Lucktenberg, pian
ist-harpsichordist have receiv
ed widespread acclaim not only
for their artistry but for their
diversified programming.
Critics have stated of the
husband-wife team that “their
task is discovering both old and
new works for violin and key
board. especially harpsichord,
and giving them meaningful per
formances, things which they
cany out very well indeed.”
Of particular interest to con
cert goers are the two instru
ments which they use in their
performance: a Stradivarius dat
ing back to 1718 and a modern
nine-foot concert harpsichord,
built to Dr. Lucktenberg’s spec
ifications.
Their varied program ranges
from selections for the violin
and harpsichord by 18th century
composers William Babell, Jean-
Marie Leclair, Pierre Gavinies,
and Giuseppe Tartini to the 20th
century Samuel Adler and John
Boda.
The Lucktenbergs are on the
faculty of the School of Music
at Converse College, Spartan
burg, during the academic year
and of the National Music Camp
Interlochen, Mich, during the
summer months.
Other Artists and Lecture Ser
ies programs scheduled for the
1969-70 season are Romanian
pianist, Valentin Gheorghiu on
November 4; the Berkshire
Chamber Players, Feb. 10, 1970
and the Men of Song, March 12.
All programs in the Newberry
College Series are free of charge
and scheduled for 8 p.m. in
Wiles Chapel.
Fund has made money avail
able to the County Hospital to
purchase much-needed equip
ment. Already in use at the
hospital are a portable x-ray
machine and a combination car
diac monitor defibulator and
pacemaker which were bought
with United Fund donations.
"This equipment is available
to patients at no charge,” Hos
pital Administrator Lawrence A.
Richardson said this week. "Pat
ients might be billed for pro
fessional services in connection
with the use of the equipment
but no charge is made for the
units themselves.”
Commenting further Mr. Rich
ardson said. "The hospital is
most grateful for these addi
tions to our equipment. They
enable us to provide more com
prehensive care for our pat
ients.”
In the United Pound's cam
paign this fall is included an
amount of $3,000 to provide mat
erials for an intensive care unit.
