BY THE WAY
By DORIS A. SANDERS
DR. KINARD
Dr. James C. Kinard was a
man about whom so many
things could be said that it is
difficult to try to summarize
his life and achievements in a
few words.
He wa^ active in many, many
civic and charitable causes, al
ways ready to help in the bet
terment of his community and
to aid his fellowman.
To thousands he will be re
membered as a brilliant and
witty speaker and he was al
ways in demand in this capa
city. He was not a minister of
the Gospel, but he could deliver
as effective a sermon as any
minister I have heard and he
frequently filled pulpits of
churches in Newberry and else
where.
To most of us. however, he
will be remembered as an ed
ucator; and he will be remem
bered by students, whether col
lege or elementary level, as a
sympathetic and understanding
administrator
When Dr Kmanl became
President of Newberry Acade
my, he was determined that it
would succeed: and through his
efforts, the Academy has grown
to the extent that before his
death, construction had begun
on a building to house the clas
ses, and enrollment had in
creased four-fold at the school
since its beginning.
He was not inexperienced in
managing a struggling school
because during the depression
01 the thirties, as President of
Newberry College, he managed
to keep the doors of the college
open, and the standards ot ed
ucation high.
Dr. Kinard was a person for
whom we had the greatest ad
miration and respect, and his
sudden illness and death came
as a shock to all We extend to
Mrs. Kinard, Jim ond Frank,
our sympathy
JAMES BROWN
The county lost another of its
well-known citizens on August
20th. when James D Brown
died in Columbia.
James, a life long educate’
knew, and was known by prac
tically everyone m Newberry
County and to my knowledge
he had no enemies He never
allowed himself to become pu
blicly frustrated even with the
trying times he went through
during his last few \ears as
County Superintendent of Fdu
cation
1 can recall a uumbe! of
years back. 1 was taking issue
with the County Board of Fdu
cation on some pohcv u had
adopted. When 1 went to the
next Board meeting 1 got the
“'cold shoulder" treatment from
everyone in the room with the
exception of James and the late
Mr. Joe Keitt These two felt
I had the right to express an
opinion even though it was con
trary to the thinking of the
Board
James was considerate, and
faithful to show that considera
tion, to those in need of atten
tion or sympathy. During my
frequent stays in the hospital,
I always looked forward to his
dropping by to say hello at night
and I know hundreds of others
did, also
We join with many others in
expressing our sadness and
sympathy to Mrs. Brown.
