MISCELLANEOUS
Have you noticed that our
City police officers are wear
ing a small United States Flag
patch on the sleeve of their
uniforms^ Whoever thought of
this idea deserves a word of
thanks. It is time for more of
us to openly show our love of
country. . .
And speaking of that, I not
ice that the theme for the con
vention of the South Carolina
Education Association, (com
monly known as state teachers
meeting) this weekend is also a
patriotic one; and that the key
note speaker is Dr. Kenneth
McFarland, an excellent speak
er and one of the outstanding
proponents of the free enter
prise system in this country.
This is a little surprising in
view of the fact that the SCEA
has for some years now hewed
to the line set down by the
National Education Association
which apparently feels that the
answer to all problems is Gov
ernment Aid (and resultant
government control i
Perhaps the State Associat
ion is trying to overcome the
bitter taste left with many when
the National Association came
out opposing the nomination of
Judge Hay ns worth to the U S
Supreme Court. 1 believe also
that the NEA did the same
with respect to Judge Carswell.
This arbitrary action on the
part of the NEA displeased the
majority of members of the
SCEA, and it is to SCEA’s cred
it that at least it openly repud
iated the NEA on its statement
of opposition to the nomina
tion
It is a delightful surprise to
see the many beautiful trees
and shrubs now coming into full
bloorn in our city. A surprise,
because I thought certainly the
miserably cold weather we had
during the winter had killed all
of the buds, if not the plants
themselves. I’m glad I was mis
taken
Leaving our beautiful city and
going to another part of the
state, it was hard to realize
we were even in the same coun
try as we rode up to Chester
field last Saturday. The trip
was unexpected. My husband
has been transferred to a Nat
ional Guard unit in that town,
and early Saturday morning we
had notice that an "alert” had
been called, and that he was
to report to the Chesterfield ar
mory without delay
Most of the trip is via 1 2h,
120 and the old U S Highway
Number 1. as far as McBee
There one turns off and goes
through 20 miles of the most
desolate looking country 1 have
seen m South Carolina About
10 miles of thus road goes
through a National Wildlife Ue
fuge. but it is hard to under
stand where animaK would lind
a refuge, because the 'woods
consist mostly of dead p i n e
stumps and a few live scrub
pines We couldn t decide whe
ther the trees had been rav
aged by fire or not but it was
Frasier's obsen ation that con
sidering the soil, they probably
starved to death
We found to our surprise that
Chesterfield has a nice, modern
armory, only three or four years
old and a group of very friendly
officers and enlisted men By
time of our arrival, most of the
troops had been dispatched to
Lancaster to "guard' vital
points from "attack Each year

The Sen ite might have acted
out of s\ mpathetic consideration
for Newberrv Countv as one
of the so-called 12 lost coun

Roth Long and Lake made
that point as they sought first
to get $500,000 for Prober Island
park, then compromised to take
$250,000. They said $2 million
was really needed
"We need something m the
Midlands,” Lake said. "We've
got a few fish ponds around
but we need a state park.
"We didn't participate in the
tricentennial spoils and it's just
fair that we have a state park.
It would be a terrific tourist
attraction for the midlands.”
Long pointed out that his New-
berry-Laurens-Union senatorial
district is "unique”.
"No other district in South
Carolina is not in a federal
program,” Long said "We’re
in a poverty area but we are
not in a poverty program."
