BY THE WAY By DORIS A. SANDERS TO THEIR CREDIT It is to the credit of the teachers of South Carolina that they would not allow them selves to be railroaded into ap proving a sanction' proposed by some leaders of the South Carolina Education Association at its convention last weekend. Seems to me that some peo ple in SCEA are talking out of two sides of their mouth at once One side is saying, "ap prove this sanction that will prevent hiring of teachers from outside the state"; the other side is saying, "teachers are so poorly paid in South Carolina that they are going to other states to seek employment ' If the latter is correct, the im position of a sanction would be rather silly, wouldn't it 0 If, as the SCEA says, teachers from this state are going elsewhere for more money, there is little likelihood that teachers from outside the state would be com ing to South Carolina to look for jobs. Carlos C.ibbons, executive se cretary of the SCEA, who has already made himself most un popular in the halls of the Cen- eral Assembly, seems to finally be getting the playback from the teachers themselves that the majority do not approve of his tactics and his veiled threats of teacher strikes and "sanct ions'' THERE ARE OTHERS All Americans are concerned about the plight of the Astro nauts, and wish for them a safe return to earth and to their families. But all with whom I have talked feel that there should be equal concern about the hundreds of thousands of our GIs in Vietnam. The astro nauts are where they are by choice; most of the GIs over in Vietnam had no choice. Per haps if the same amount of at tention were paid to their pos sibility of surviving, someone would do something about get ting that war over It is just as important to the families of those soldiers that they re turn safely, as it is to the fam ilies of the astronauts that their men return home. Man has proved that he can go to the moon. Why don't we just let it go at that, and con centrate on proving he can win a battle in the rice paddies'' PAST HISTORY The nomination <»t Judge Carswell to the Supreme Court is now past history with it> de teat m the Senate last week, but 1 think you will enjo\ read mg the observations of Jesse Heims, WRAP TV on the nomi nation This Viewpoint was tele cast a week of >o bid ore the Senate voted on the nomma tion By JESSE HELMS It we ma\ return for one fur ther glance at the battle raging over President .’Nixon's select ion of Judge G Harrold Cars well to fill a Supreme Court vacancy a specific look should be taken at who is saving and doing what Perhaps the height of absurd ity occurred a week ago when, on the Senate floor.

(Sunphoto by Steve Armfield) Vol. 33—No. 52 Nance Street is topic again at council meeting A large group of citizens was on hand at council chambers Tuesday night to again protest the proposed widening of Nance Street by the State Highway Department Among those voicing opposi tion to the City entering into a contract with the Highway De partment was attorney Thomas 11 Pope, who represents some of the Nance Street property owners objecting to the widen mg project Mr Pope said that if council signs the agreement with the highway department, it would require that the city pay one- fourth of all cost in acquiring property for the right-of-way. Council has been asked to schedule a referendum to allow voters to decide on the proposed project, bin no action has been taken. The discussion of the agree ment was a first reading, and no action was taken by council. In other action, council held a lengthy discussion concerning a sewer system for Gtenn Street Baptist Church. City Manager Kenneth Riebe said that the church building is over the city’s right-of-way and that the main sewer line is located under the church. He said there was a possibility the church could be damaged if trouble should develop in the line. Mayor Clarence A. Shealy Jr. recommended that church offi cials consider an agreement with the city to release the city from any damage responsibi lity to the building if the faci lity is connected to the main sewer line. Council approved the sand blasting of the Margaret Hunter and McSwain Street swimming pools at a cost of $1,657 A discussion was held con eerning the employment of a forest consultant to make sug gestions and recommendations concerning tree-trimming with in the Cit\ City Manager Riebe suggested engaging John BillmgMey a qualified consult ant. on a part time basis.
