(Continued from Page 1) tor Kennedy also reflected upon Judge Carswell’s ‘tempera ment”—basing his comments on the fact that some civil rights attorneys were dissatisfied be cause Carswell had ruled against their motions on several occasions. This is the same Teddy Ken nedy whose own scholarship is at question. After all, Mr. Ken nedy—while a student at Har vard—was kicked out of college because he hired another stu dent to take an examination for him. As for “temperament’, Mr. Kennedy is perhaps the last public figure entitled to talk about someone else. His con duct on the night last summer that his young woman compan ion was drowned would seem to disqualify Mr. Kennedy as a judge of anybody else’s tem perament. The whole ‘liberal” campaign to discredit Judge Carswell has been built upon one contrivance after another. Several Senators who have gone on record as favoring confirmation of Cars well, have received a flood of phony mail demanding that they change their position, and threatening political retaliation if they don’t. This mail was mass produced in California by a pressure group signing obviously facti tious names and pretending to be residents of, for example, North Carolina.

State flower is poisonous Did you know that our State Flower, yellow jessamine, is poisonous? Dr. Hilla Sheriff, as sistant state health officer, said today that many of our native plants which are beginning to bloom can cause serious illness and even death. “A child playing out in the fresh spring air might decide to chew on a flower or plant or taste the seeds and that act ion could produce trouble,” she said. “People should learn to iden tify the poisonous plants in in their neighborhoods. If they suspect that a child has eaten a poisonous plant or flower, con tact a doctor or hospital im mediately. Try to tell the doc tor what the child ate, if you know. And if you’re not sure what the plant or flower is, take along a sample to the doc tor so he can identify it and start the proper antidote treat ments immediately.” Other common poisonous plants, besides jessamine, in clude narcissus, iris, oleander, elephant ear, rhododen dron, milk weed, mountain laur el, jimson weed, Jerusalem cherry and mock orange. Carolina. Friedman failed to show up for the package and, since no return address was shown on the package, postal officials opened it up to see if there might be, inside, some indication of the sender. They found only the stamped letters, all addressed to Senators Er vin and Jordan, with a mimeo graphed instruction sheet for ‘Bob Friedman’ telling him to drop the letters in the mail in various cities and towns of this state. The Senators were supposed to assume that the letters came from bona fide constituents. Similar packages were dis covered by postal officials in other states, including the State of Washington. No doubt many bundles of phony letters did in deed find their way to the in tended conspirators in still oth er states, who followed instruct ions and mailed them on to Washington. Thus it is under standable that some Senators reported a “flood” of mail op posing the Carswell nomina tion. Senator Howard Baker of Ten nessee, who received scores of such letters, took a batch of them to the Senate floor where he opened them in the presence of his fellow Senators. As he did, he commented as follows: “All of these letters I have just opened—they were not op ened by my staff—are in the same size envelopes. They are all, with one exception, address ed in longhand; they are all in the same color ink with one or two exceptions; and most of them are on the same type of paper.’ Senator Baker suggested that all of this may be tantamount to using the mails to defraud— a calculated plot to distort the legislative process, all because of an obsession on the part of “liberals” that the U. S. Su preme Court must continue to be composed entirely of mem bers with one-track minds. There has been no evidence, as yet, demonstrating that Judge Carswell should not be approv ed by the Senate as a member of the Supreme Court. In fact, the best evidence that he should be confirmed is to be found in the kind of adversaries who are opposing him, and the tactics they have been willing to use. Youth Corps has been expanded The Newberry-Saluda Neigh borhood Youth Corps has been expanded to include Greenwood County, according to informa tion received from the district office of the Bureau of Work Training Programs, U. S. De partment of Labor. The area dffice, headed by W. H. Holl, Jr., Area Supervisor, Columbia has enlarged the project area formerly serving Newberry and Saluda counties. The project office is located in Newberry and is headed by Donald F. Jensen, Director. At present all staff members re side in Newberry and Saluda counties. “New additional staff members will probably be sel ected from Greenwood county as time goes on,” Jensen said. The summer project will have a record high of 300 summer enrollees, plus the regular 39 out-of-school enrollees. “We are hopeful that the Labor Depart ment will allocate additional job slots for the out-of-school program. We are anxious to place enrollees in the Green wood County area,’ Jensen said. Enrollment in the Greenwood County schools will begin with in a few days and will be hand led in cooperation with the Greenwood-McCormick-Abbevili Community Action Agency. Wil liam A. Pruitt is executive dir ector of the tri-county anti-pov erty organization. Applicants in all high schools in Newberry, Saluda and Green wood County schools are urged to contact a school counselor or N.Y.C. representative or write to Neighborhood Youth Corps P. O.

Academy plans be discussed The Board of Directors of the Newberry Academy are asking the parents to meet with them in the school auditorium next Monday evening, April 20 at 7:30. They plan to discuss the building plans now begun on the first unit to be completed by the opening of the new ses sion in September. They will also present some plans for the coming year. At recent chapel exercises, devotions were conducted by the Rev. Ralph E. Rhyne, past or of West End Baptist Church. He based his remarks to the young people on the custom of Jesus to attend church services regularly. He stressed the im portance of good habits as con trasted with evil ones, show ing by illustrations how habits are developed by daily prac tice. He mentioned habits like attending Church and Sunday School, daily prayer and Bible reading, and doing good to oth ers. President James C. Kinard states that applications now are coming in very rapidly. Already it looks as if in some of the grades there will be a waiting list. He expressed the decision of the directors to accommo date as many applicants as possible within the resources available. Permits Robert Jackson, Jr., Route 3, Prosperity, four room dwelling, $7,000.

Biir* ■ to talk here Bill Workman, Jr., editor of the Columbia State will open the Newberry College Tricen tennial Lecture series at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 23 in the Wiles Chapel. Workman will give a slide- lecture which will depict the settling of South Carolina as developed through research con ducted three centuries after the fact. He will incorporate the actual events of the 17th cen tury with an appraisal of the individuals involved in the en terprise, while simultaneously discussing the records, maps, place names, traditions of the early settlements which still live in the 20th century. The material for Workman’s lecture was gathered during many months of research which took him on a virtual retracing of the route taken by early set tlers. Cancer Crusade be April 24 The 1970 Cancer Crusade will be conducted on Friday, April 24 from 6 to 9 p.m. All resi dents are requested to turn on porch lights during this time to help volunteer workers. “You are reminded to read the material on cancer which your volunteer worker will give you, said Hamilton Folk, chair man of the 1970 Cancer Crusade. “It may save your life, or the life of a loved one.” Mr. Folk urged that- New- berrians give generously to the Crusade. Funds raised in the drive will go to support the threefold program of the Can cer Society—research, earlier treatment education and service to cancer patients. Mrs. H. A. Kemper president of the local Cancer Society, an nounced that the Civuiettes and the Key Club, service clubs at Newberry High School, have both chosen the 1970 Cancer Education-Funds Crusade as one of their projects. Because of a conflict in acti vities, these young Cancer vol unteers will call on certain sec tions of the county on Thursday April 23. “When these volunteers call at your home,” Mrs. Kemper said, ‘ Please read the life-sav ing material which they will give you, and please give gen erously to support the threefold program of the Cancer Society. Give, that more might live.” C. B. Corley dies in Raleigh Charles B. Corley, 82, of Clin ton, died Friday in Raleigh, N. C.
