There are ungovernable displays of psychological resentment among both black students and white. Discipline is a thing of the past. Cooperation of parents simply does not exist. Even the most ambitious of children— those who truly desire to get an education—find themselves frustrated by events and cir cumstances beyond their con trol and not of their making. This is the tragic product of what amounts to a federal takeover of the schools. The fe deral government—judges, poli ticians and bureaucrats—creat ed this disaster. Now they should be commanded to step in and help pick up the pieces. But, no. They sit back in their towers of specious politi cal theory and boast of what they have “achieved.” They imply—but they only imply— that they plan now to move to the rest of the country with such destructive meddling. The South suspects that nothing of the sort will ever really hap pen; it would be dangerous politics for the federal medd lers to try to do the rest of rTtz THEATRE THURSDAY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT Barbara Streisand George Segal (R) MONDAY AND TUESDAY CROMWELL Richard Harris Alec Guiness (G) WEDN ESI)A Y THU RSDAY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY THERE’S A GIRL IN MY SOUP Peter Sellers Goldie Hawn (R) CLOVER LEAF DRIVE-IN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY I WALK THE LINE Gregory Peck Tuesday Weld (GP) SUNDAY THE COMIC Dick Van Dyke Michele Lee (M) Always A Color Cartoon The Drive-In Will Be Closed On Monday Tuesday Wed nesday Thursday For The Winter Months.

The lo cation was about one-half mile on the Whitmire side of what is known as “Snook Bootic” Curve. The Newberry and Whitmire Rescue Squads were called to assist with the accident victims. The tractor-trailer was load ed, the driver was not injured but some damage was done to the front of the tractor. The 1967 Buick was a total loss. the country what has already been done to the South. When the politicians from other parts Of the country de nied freedom of choice to the people of the South, and when the federal judges outlawed the people’s right to choose, they slammed the door on any hope of maintaining order in the schools, let alone achieving any real quality in education. The people are never likely to cool their resentment to being de prived of one of their most basic rights. And when children are forced, against their will, into unnatural ■ environments and conditions, they are likely to continue to explode into hos tile, undisciplined resentments. The men who created this mess—the federal judges, poli ticians and bureaucrats—have the duty to step forward now and straighten it out, if they can. If they are interested in the future of the country, they will be willing to try. Otherwise they stand indicted on charges of hit and run..
