Calcote began a series of evan
gelistic sermons in the new
chapel which continued daily
through September 10th, con
cluding with an impressive ser
vice during which thirty-four
professed faith in Christ. 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. Calcote in the
new chapel. Rev. Calcote con
tinued to preach each Sunday
in the Chapel until he resigned
the pastorate of Aveleigh in
1947. Later in that year, Rev.
Neil E. Truesdell became past
or of Aveleigh and accepted
leadership of the Queens Chap
el also.
Finally the Queens member
ship felt strong enough to be
come established as a self-sup
porting Presbyterian church.
Application was made to South
Carolina Presbytery at its meet
ing on September 28, 1954. The
request was granted and a com
mission appointed to organize
as a church on October 10, 1954
with Rev. Neil E. Truesdell as
pastor of the new church which
was named Queens Memorial
Presbyterian Church.
Today Dr. Truesdell continues
to serve as minister and there
are sixty members. Elders are
Messrs. Sam Berry, Fred Har
mon and T. O. Bundrick. Dea
cons are J. B. Brock and J. W.
Waites.
COMMENT

Men & Things
By J. K. 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.
