By The Way... (Continued from Pago 1) cal of the type of partisan poli tics which destroys confidence in our form of government and inspires contempt for the men who constitute the government. “In the intensity and context of his remarks castigating the President of the United States, the Indiana lawmaker rendered a disservice to this nation. He made the President appear to be a truly villainous character and he certainly defiled the position of United States sena tor by his conduct in mak ing such vicious charges and inferences about the nation’s leader. ‘He accused Mr. Nixon of a ‘calculated’ effort to divide the American people by malicious ly playing on their frustrations, prejudices and fears. He de clared that the President’s pol icies are intended to pit one race against another, one econ omic class against another, one age group against another and even one region of the country against another region. “These charges might well be directed against America’s most dangerous enemy. And even then many Americans would laugh at them and call them ridiculous. , “To accuse the President in a public address, of such trait orous acts is insane. It is shock ing enough to hear the wildest, most anarchistic revolutionaries utter such charges. But for a United States senator to do so! “In clawing at and attempt ing to shred the cloak of res pectability worn by the presi dent of this great nation, the senator leaves himself standing naked, stripped of any garment of respectability a man in of fice should be entitled to.” SINGERS SET SCHOOL CONCERTS Six high school concerts have been added to the tour sche dule of the Newberry College Singers, according to Dr. Mil- ton W.

Indian cagers nip Terriers The Newberry Indians were behind by 50-44 against the Wofford Terriers Monday night midway in the final period, but a surge of baskets and free throws in the final minutes gave Newberry its second victory of the season over Wofford by a 65-59 margin. The Indians now sport a 14-4 season record, a 7-1 NAIA Dis trict 6 record and a 4-2 Caro- linas Conference mark. Once again it was the char ity tosses that gave the In dians the winning margin: Charles Gilroy, who is sporting a 78.9 percent record on his free throws added another 15 out of 19 attempts—free tosses to the scorebooks. Tqammates threw in another 12 buckets to give the Indians 37, to 11 for the Wofford squad. But the Ter riers outscored the Indians in the number of field goals, 24- 19. In the overall scoring Gilroy led both teams with 27 points with Buddy Moore contributing 14 points, Steve Hollingsworth 12, Kevin Howard, 9 and Tom my Miller 3. Zeke Bateman led the Terrier scoring with 19 points. The loss dropped Wof ford 6-11 for the season. Monday’s game was played in Spartanburg; the two meet again February 18 in MacLean Gymnasium. The Indians next appearance is a return match with Erskine Flying Fleet Saturday in Mac- Lean Gymnasium. In early De cember, the Indians downed the Fleet 54-50 in the South Cany- lina Tip-Off Tournament, then Erskine gave the Newberrians their first defeat of the season, a 69-67 loss in a game at Due West. • County Council on Aging meeting set A steering committee of in terested Newberrians has sche duled a public meeting at Speers St. Elementary School Cafetorium Thursday, Feb. 5, for the purpose of organizing a Newberry County Council on Aging. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. and all citizens of the county are invited. A constitution and by-laws will be adopted and a report will be given by the nominat ing committee, after which a board of directors and officers will be elected. The need for such an organi zation has been pointed out by the S. C. Interagency Council on Aging. A steering committee of Newberrians has worked with A. J. Epps of Columbia, a field representative of the S. C. In teragency Council on Aging, in an effort to organize a local council. The S. C. Interagency Coun- < cil on Aging which was created by a 1966 Act, is charged to “deal with present and future needs of the elderly with res pect to employment, retire ment, income maintenance, housing and living arrange- ments, health, medical care, re habilitation, recreation, educa tion, personal adjustment, and such other matters as in its judgment are pertinent to the subject.” In particular, regarding the need for a Newberry County Council, the S.C.I.C.A. reports that “Newberry County has the highest percentage of its total population 65 and over. Its pop ulation is made up of 9.9 per cent, or 2,923 persons, over age 65.” The Newberry County Coun cil on Aging will be an organ ization with the purpose of as sisting older citizens in meeting the challenge of the later years. To date, eleven Councils, in cluding Anderson, Charleston, Florence, Greenville, Richland- Lexington, Spartanburg, Sum ter, York, Aiken, Greenwood, and Laurens have been organ ized and are functioning. It is hoped that a number of Newberry County citizens will attend the organizational meeting and become charter members of the Newberry Coun ty Council on Aging.
