These, with six received by letter, be came the original members of Queens Chapel, an outpost of Aveleigh Presbyterian Church. Mr. D. P. Queen was greatly rewarded to see the Chapel or ganized in his community and bearing his name. Only a month later he became ill and died. The funeral service was con ducted by Rev.

BREF.DIN Ham and gravy along with hominy make a breakfast that carries me back to the dim antiquity when the average man could afford to have a nice large piece of ham at break fast. Yea, verily, that was in the long ago! Today t w o groups of people can enjoy a delicious piece of ham: they are millionaires and the big crowd that have gov ernment food stamps. I heard some one say that she had to buy with a careful regard for money; but while she is so care ful because of the high cost of everything in comes someone with government food stamps and buys with the reckless a- bandon of the old time drunk on payday; whereas the rest of us have to practice strict econ omy. remembering that a dol lar is a dollar and even a dollar is not what it used to be. If you try to pick up some casual help you may be amazed to find that there is no casual help available because what used to be casual help now is living and eating with govern ment stamps and welfare checks. We no longer live by the sweat of the brow; we pinch along as best we can with our little mon ey though we observe the easy indulgence of people living on the money of the government while we who work and sweat to put up the money which ou’ government can throw around. Now wouldn't that jar you"? It need not jar you because it goes on all the time. I want to call your attention to this: frequent ly people go to the store with the food stamps riding in nice cars. ! Does anyone ever investigate tins 7 This is one of the scan dals that astonish the average citizen who works steadily to buy food for his family. Jack Queener, right, assumed duties Monday of this week as Assistant County Agent in Newberry. With him is assistant agent J. O. Donkle. Mr. Queener is a native of Oak Ridge, Tenn. He was graduated from Tennessee Tech, a division of the Uni versity of Tennessee in 1967. He and his wife, Carol have one son, Stanley, age 4. (Sunphoto) I have always prided myself on my understanding of the English language but when I read the dispatches from Wash ington I do not know what, how or why. If my friend Sen. Thur mond, understands what is what I regret to say that I am still in the dark. From one source you read what seems to say that police and detectives will roam about, and the next min ute I read that all that is an error and that no one will come unless we ask for them. If that is the correct understanding it proves that I don’t understand English and had better brush up on my Spanish and return to Peru. I repeat what I have often said, that I hold the President in profound respect but I do not understand clearly where he stands in the matter of schools. It is an old practice and doctrine that the Federal Government does not partici pate in any way with the pub lic schools except in such schools as may be conducted by the Federal Government or under its authority. The present confusion seems to throw the constitution out of doors. VIETNAM — Marine Private First Class John K.
