PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, January 22,1970 By The Way... (Continued from Page 1) in New York recently, Ben Hol man, a Negro who heads the city’s Community Relations Ser vice, called for a halt to such forced integration on the ground that it is “unrealistic and un wise. I think,” said Mr. Hol man, “that what the goal should be in this country is not some sort of vague, illusory melting pot in which we’re all mixed like salt and pepper, but a multi-racial society in which we have black neighborhoods and black communities, as well as white ones, and still live as one nation.” Oddly enough, the new South ern regional director of the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare, speaking in At lanta a week or so ago, held precisely the same view. The HEW official rejected the idea of bussing students across a city or a county. He expressed serious personal doubts “that in order for a black child to get a quality education, you must have a child with white skin sitting next to him.” Yet, HEW, from its ivory towers in Washington, and the Supreme RITZ THEATRE THURSDAY FRIDAY and Saturday 101 Dalmations Adult 75c All Children 50c (G) MONDAY TUESDAY Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed Pete Cushing (M) WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY MONDAY TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY REIVERS Steve McQueen Sharon Farrell (M) CLOVER LEAF DRIVE-IN FRIDAY SATURDAY OBLONG BOX Vincent Price Christopher Lee SUNDAY First Run CHASTITY Cher Bono Stephen Whittaker Always A Color Cartoon The Drive-In Will Be Hosed On Monday, Tuesday, Wed nesday And Thursday For The Winter Months. To perform in Washington Eleanor Burnette, Judy Farb, Shelby Fulmer, Ada Irons, Re becca Kirkland, Jane King, Ro bert Lominack, Timothy Park- man and Brantlee Price are nine of the members of the 60- voice Newberry College Sing ers who will participate in a mid-winter tour of the Middle- Atlantic states the first week in February. The Choir under the direct ion of Dr. Milton Moore will present nine concerts in Luth eran churches in Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. A tenth church concert is scheduled for the National Cathedral in Washing ton, D. C. A series of high school con certs along the tour route is also being planned by the dir ector. The College’s Stage Band, directed by Charles Pruitt, will also participate in the high school concerts. Miss Burnette is the daugh- Court, and lower federal judges all are commanding school dis tricts to throw away logic and embark upon experiments in mass confusion, hostility and bitterness. This is harmful, most of all, to black children who have been used as pawns by political man ipulators and federal adminis trators. They are becoming in creasingly resentful as a re sult of having been falsely told, over and over again, that soc iety is “against” them. Violence is growing steadily in schools all over the country—a mani festation of disappointment and hostility. In one week’s time recently, a student at an inte grated school in Brandywine, Maryland, cut the throat of his principal; a 12-year-old Negro boy stabbed his teacher in Washington, D.C. Also in Wash ington, an elderly teacher was beaten almost to death by a student. And teachers in New York City threatened to go out on strike unless they were giv en constant police protection. This attitude, this violent state of mind, among Negro students didn’t just happen. Neither did the rash of racial incidents which are reported daily throughout the country. It is the product of federal force, the result of depriving citizens of their right to choose. It is an insanity that grows worse by the day. Almost everybody can see the problem except the dic tatorial federal government that is causing it—a government that refuses to understand that a citizen’s freedom to choose is one of his most precious pos sessions. *NCOME TAX RETURNS State and Federal J. ed.

Baptists make statement on integration Noting that this year’s dese gregation of the public school system will doubtless create tensions in some areas, the Christian Life and Public Af fairs Committee of the South Carolina Baptist Convention has called on Baptists and all citi zens to “express Christian at titudes in personal relation ships and to show responsible citizenship in the support of those seeking to strengthen pub lic education”. A major point of Baptists’ re cent hemispherical evangelistic crusade was for the “establish ing of true moral and spiritual basis for the betterment of man kind’s economic, social and phy sical welfare”. “Certainly our support of pub lic education and our accept ance of every individual as a person to be treated with dig nity are crucial steps toward that objective of world evan gelism,” the Committee said. In a statement adopted at its quarterly meeting here this week, the ten-member commit tee noted that through the years Baptists have received much from the education of their youth in the public schools and that there had been strong sup port for a public school system to provide education for all youth. “We urge, therefore, that all Baptists be aware of these trad itions and of our responsibili ties for the future of the public schools in our state,” the statement said. It called on de nominational leadership and programs to assist in every pos sible way. The statement has commend ation for administrators, teach ers and students who are striv ing diligently to create whole some conditions of personal re lationships in the public schools. The Rev. James M. Pitts, as sistant chaplain at Furman Un iversity is chairman of Baptist Christian Life Committee.
