sure the deterrent strength of
the Air Force in the years a-
head.”
He said many colleges were
seeking ROTC units and the Air
Force had been impressed with
the sound programs at New
berry, the quality of the admi
nistration and faculty, and most
of all, the character of the
student body. He had special
praise for Dr. Wiles whose lead
ership he said ‘had insured the
growth of a strong Christian-
oriented institution which of
fered its students the best in
a liberal arts education.”
Senator Thurmond said the
Air Force ROTC program would
develop those selected in the
areas of “leadership, discipline,
personal habits and in service
to mankind.” He stated that
seldom had he an opportunity
to work on a project that was
more gratifying and one in
which he felt the result would
be more beneficial to the com
munity, state and nation.
Senator Thurmond said that
a wide range of benefits would
accrue to those students parti
cipating in the program. He
mentioned such items as a $50
monthly nontaxable subsistence
allowance, graduate school de
ferments, free flight training,
free travel on military air
craft on a space available ba
sis, one six-week field training
period such as that received by
Air Force Academy Cadets and
free uniforms and textbooks for
ROTC training. The Senator al
so mentioned the college’s eli
gibility for an Arnold Air So
ciety Squadron, an honorary
organization of Air Force Ca
dets, named in honor of the late
General H. H. (Hap) Arnold,
who commanded the Army air
forces in World War II and was
later Chief of Staff of the Air
Force.
Senator Thurmond added
there would be an opportunity
for highly select coeds to par
ticipate in an Angel Flight unit
which was an auxiliary organi
zation to the Arnold Air So
ciety.

honors “Real
Daughters”
The Real Daughters of Cal
vin Crozier Chapter UDC, were
special guests of the chapter
at their annual Christmas din
ner party, Tuesday evening
Dec. 8, in the Faculty Room
of Kaufmann Hall, Newberry
College.
Other guests attending were,
Mrs. Sarah D. Wallace and
Mrs. Mary Baker Summer.
Mrs. Summer represented the
Drayton Rutherford Chapter.
Two out of town members were
also present, they were; Mrs.
Grady Donaldson of Columbia
and Mrs. Lucille G. Hume of
Neptune Beach, Florida.
Mrs. F. Scott Elliott read a
letter from the South Carolina
Division stating that the chapter
was to receive a silver bowl
instead of a certificate for the
best chapter report. This report
was sent in by Mrs. A. T. Neely,
retiring president of the chap
ter. This excellent report was
awarded first place out of 84
chapter entries.
At the conclusion of the din
ner, the following tribute was
paid the Real Daughters by the
historian, Miss Juanita Hitt:
In honoring you, precious
daughters of Confederate Ve
terans, I would like to begin
my little speech with these age
old story telling words—“Once
Upon a Time”.. Yes, once upon
a time your fathers and our
Confederate ancestors lived in
the brightest era that ever flou
rished in all the tide of time.
Our beautiful Southland was a
paradise of cotton and sugar
cane. These cotton fields were
alive with happy Negroes, who
sang as they toiled. The chi
valry and beauty of a lordly
race walked along the shaded
paths of fragrant magnolias. I
doubt if the world will ever see
another civilization as brilliant
as that which perished with the
Confederacy. Talk not to me
of the New South. There is no
New South. Whoever heard of
a New North or a New West?
We are not ashamed of the Old
South. We are not ashamed of
the grandest race of men and
women who ever lived on the
earth and who were the heart
and soul of the place we love
and call Dixie’s Land. We are
not ashamed of Shiloh, Missio
nary Ridge, Gettysburg and At
lanta. We are not ashamed of
the history of the Old South—
there is no New South—It is
the Old South resurrected from
the dead with the prints of the
nails and the scars of the spear
still in the flesh.
You are the living daughters
of men who fought, bled and
died for the cause they believed
was right. Their memories are
made holier and sweeter with
each passing year, and, al
though their lips are hushed and
their hearts are now dust, when
we stand among their tomb
stones and monuments we must
respect and honor their depart
ed glory.
I do believe that God has
made his beautiful rainbow rest
with one end on Dixie and the
other end on some other par
cel of American soil. And, I
do pray that every patriotic
American citizen will love and
honor every inch of soil that
lies between the two ends of
that rainbow. God Bless you.”
Calvin Crozier Chapter claims
eight Real Daughters. The three
unable to be present were: Miss
Mazie Dominick, Mrs. Mary
Buford Cromer and Mrs. Mil
dred Renwick Martin.
