BY THE WAY (Continued from Page 1) “Intellectuals lambaste the police because they weren’t ‘sensitive’ enough to act the role of Scattergood Baines in neighborhood controversies. Al though usually equipped neither by training nor temperament to assuage social ills, they are asked to do just that. “And for what? Not for the money certainly. Just for the privilege of risking his life in any of countless sudden situa tions the policeman is cal'ed upon to deal with. And there is always the knowledge that no one is forgotten faster than a dead cop. “The courts traditionally have dealt harshly with those who murder policemen. There has been a general recognition that the policeman is simply so ciety’s surrogate in protecting the persons and property of in nocent citizens. Therefore it used to be automatically ac- cepted that the peace officer deserved and indeed required popular support. In recent years, policemen have had cause to wonder if that sup port existed. “The police strike in New York City was intolerable, and Police Commissioner Patrick V. Murphy was correct in his tough reactions. But the strike is also understandable when the burden of the modern police man is considered. “Liberals may continue to de ride the phrase ‘law and order and make of it what they will. But until the nation decides its peace officers cannot be ex pected to serve as scapegoats for social problems, the dan ger of rebellion in the ranks remains. Active police dissent throughout America is a real possibility, and if it ever breaks out, there won’t be any cops around to see to our safety or to shoulder our guilt.” Letter to Editor Mrs. Doris A. Sanders The Sun Newberry, S.C. Dear Mrs. Sanders: It is with reluctance that I enter the controversy between the athletic department and the academic department of New berry High School. I have two reasons for ex pressing my opinion about this subject: first, I read the vi cious, irresponsible, and insult ing letter printed in the January twenty-first edition of The Sun; second I am. a tax-paying ci tizen interested in Newberry High School. Furthermore, after having taught in Newberry High School for more than twenty years, I feel qualified to express my opinion about conditions exist ing there. Newberry High School is an educational institution and not an athletic club. It is financed largely by the state which re quires four years of English, two years of mathematics, two years of science, and two years of social science. No funds are YE-OW/ Fast Settlement! “YOUR PRIVATE BANKERS” 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 earmarked for extracurricu lar activities. Academic require ments are necessary for en trance into any post-high school institution, collegiate or voca tional. Over emphasis on ex tra-curricular activities is an example of failure to put “first things first” or a case of the “tail wagging the dog.” I feel that we can depend on our boards of education, both advisory and county, to see the situation in the proper perspective and to spend the school funds in the manner in which the most students of Newberry County will be bene fited. I am convinced that the sen timents expressed here will meet the approval of the vast majority of the intelligent, tax- paying citizens of Newberry County. I am not anti-athletic; I am interested in athletics and en joy seeing interscholastic and intercollegiate sports. In fact, I have been a member of the Walter Johnson Club at Pres byterian College for many years. It appears that the coa ches at Newberry High School are doing a good job, but so are the teachers of the aca demic department. Sincerely, George P. Boozer CHURCH LEAGUE RESULTS GIVEN Tuesday, January 19: The Roadrunners of Redeemer were the victors at Newberry College over Central White, 25 to 18.
