Senior Citizens
tour mountains
Senior Citizens of the Oakland
Retirees Club toured the North
and South Carolina Mountains,
last Thursday, with Ed McKin
ney and Ralph Ringer of the
Newberry Recreation Depart
ment.
The group left Newberry
Thursday morning and made
their first stop at the New Duk(
Power Plant at Lake Keowee
Toxaway.
The group enjoyed a film on
the historic State of South Car
olina and then toured the exhi
bits at the Duke Power Plant
Also of interest was the tremen
dous size of the buildings that
were being built. With the build
ing of the dam the Senior Citi
zens saw roads and land that
would be covered with water,
and would afford the people with
electricity and many recrea
tional areas.
The final leg of the power
plant tour ended at the power
companies picnic area where
everyone enjoyed food “Fit For
A King”.
With everyone on the bus the
group headed for White Water
Falls. It is one of the highest
waterfalls in Eastern America,
located in the highlands of the
Cashiers area, of North Caro
lina.
After viewing the gigantic size
of the 800 foot waterfall the
touring route took the Senior
Citizens miles across the
mountains on a true mountain
road. Many of the citizens cal
led the road a one-way road be
cause it was so narrow. Many
of the beautiful mountain sights
that are hidden from most of
the highways unfolded on this
mountain road.
There were several rest stops
made along the way, but one
of the best stops was made in
Sapphire, North Carolina where
the group bought post cards and
souvenirs.
Another stop found the Seniors
at Toxaway Falls in Western
North Carolina, where again
they could view the awsome
beauty of the cascading water
over the huge rocks.
From Brevard, North Caro
lina the tour started South
down the winding mountains
and back toward Newberry.
Greenville was the final stop
of the trip as everyone broke
out the pies, cakes, chicken, and
salads for supper.
A trip to Charleston and the
Islands is being planned for late
September. All interested Se
nior Citizens may call 276—4856
for further information.

Shull speaker
for Mt. Olivet
homecoming
The annual Homecoming of
Mount Olivet Lutheran Church,
Prosperity, will be held at the
church on September 6, at 11:00
a. m. The congregation extends
a hearty welcome to all friends
and former members of the
church to come worship with
them. The homecoming speak
er will be the Rev. Daniel M.
Shull.
After the service, there will
be a fellowship picnic on the
grounds of the church, supplied
from well filled baskets of the
congregation. There will be op
portunity for friends to visit
with one another and with Dr.
and Mrs. Shull.
The Rev. Daniel M. Shull, D.
D. was educated in the Lexing
ton public schools, Newberry
College, and the Southern Lu
theran Theological Seminary.
He has since attended a number
of schools, seminars, and re
fresher institutes conducted for
pastors. In 1959 Newberry Col
lege conferred upon him the
honorary degree of Doctor of
Divinity.
His entire 40 years in the pa
rish ministry has been with
churches of the South Carolina
Lutheran Synod. He has served
two parishes within the New
berry District for a total of 17
years. Counting his four years
as a student at Newberry Col
lege and the forty plus meetings
of the Newberry College Board
that he attended, Newberry
County may well be called his
second home coun*v.
From 1937-1942, Pastor Shull
served the Mt. Olivet, Mt. Pil
grim, and Mt. Tabor Churches,
all of the Little Mountain—Pros
perity area. From 1949—1960,
he pastored Mayer Memorial
Congregation. During these
years adjoining land was pur
chased, the present church ed
ifice erected and dedicated and
some church auxiliaries orga
nized and others reinforced. Dr.
Shull still maintains a keen in
terest and a warm love for all
his former congregations and
their people.
Pastor Shull was also active
in the church work at large and
held offices and membership on
boards and committees. He serv
ed six years on the Synodical
Executive Board; 20 years on
the Newberry College Board of
trustees; he was synodical de
legate to four Lutheran Church
in America (ULCA) Conven
tions; he also served as Dis
trict president. He served as
Synodical Convention Chaplain,
and as speaker for Synodwide
Stewardship Rallies.
On January 1, 1969, he retir
ed from full time parish work
and moved back to the com
munity of his birth, near Lex
ington. He reunited with St. Da
vid’s Lutheran Church, West
Columbia, where he was bap
tized and confirmed. After a few
months there, he was engaged
as an emeritus pastoral assis
tant. Here among his kindred
and acquaintances he is called
upon to assist the pastor in se
veral capacities and to take o-
ver in event of emergency and
the pastor’s absence or disabi
lity.
He and Mrs. Shull look for
ward to again, worshipping
with Mt. Olivet congregation
and to renewing acquaintances
and fellowship in this area.
