Academy chapel exercises last
Friday morning. The students

James C. Kinard, who is chair
man of the county Tricentennial

line for the plans in progress

8th.
Last week the students con

LEGION AUXILIARY
BACKS PRESIDENT
Mrs. S. F. Sherard, Jr., De
partment president of the Amer

es that the 7000 plus members
in South Carolina have gone on
record as backing President
Nixon and his Asian Policy.
Telegrams have been sent to
Senators Thurmond and Holl-
ings and all six Congressmen
urging their support of the Pres
ident and the troops in Viet
nam and to vote down any at
tempts to impede the President
in his actions.
“In such critical times,” the
Auxiliary said, “our Nation’s
President must have a free hand
in actions as Commander-in-
Chief to take steps to protect
our troops.” Both National or
ganizations, the American Leg
ion and the Auxiliary, are solid
ly behind this giant effort to
back the President and they
urge that all citizens wire or
write their Senators and Con
gressmen.

week of evangelistic services.
These services were held April

ton as guest preacher.
On Sunday evening there were
150 persons present in the sanc
tuary, and a total of over 500
persons were counted for the six
services. You helped us in this
and we want to thank you for
your services.
I hasten to add tiiat the fig
ures given above are a minor
evaluation of the worth of these
services. The real results will
be showing up for some time
to come.
