Senior Class Trip Included
Many Points of Interest
By Joe Sears
The Senior Class trip began in
a rather unusual way this year.
A classmate, Wanda Purcell, had
the group for breakfast. Then
we boarded a Greyhound bus for
the beginning of our trip to New
York City, which took eleven
days.
Os the 48 members of the class,
30 went on the trip, making the
total 32 with our chaperones,
Mrs. Dewitt Moody and Mr. W.
C. Long.
Our first stop was Savannah,
where our driver for the trip,
Mr. Willis, joined us.
The first night was spent in
Rocky Mount, North Carolina, at
the Ricks Hotel. The next morn
ing we left Rocky Mount enroute
to Baltimore, Maryland. Several
stops were made at the interest
ing places along the way. A fer
ry crossing was made at the
James River. Our first real sight
seeing stop was Jamestown, Va.,
the first permanent English set
tlement in America. Yorktown
and Williamsburg were also visit
ed.
On reaching Baltimore we
checked in at the Lord Baltimore
Hotel for an overnight stay.
From Baltimore we traveled the
New Jersey Turnpike to New
York City.
We reached our hotel, The
President, in the late afternoon
of our third day. The hotel was
only a block off Broadway. After
getting settled in our rooms we
went to the Empire State Build
ing, there going to the top, which
is 102 stories high and looked out
over tne city of New York. That
night the group rode a subway
to Yankee Stadium for a game
between New York and Balti
more.
Friday morning we were pick
ed up by a bus at the hotel and
began an all-day tour of the
city. This tour included upper
-er.. 1 iovxr New Ycik, Hariein,
Chinatown, The Bowery, a boat
ride to Liberty Island and a climb
up the Statue of Liberty. After
returning to the city a guided
tour of the NBC Studios was
made. The tour ended with a
stop at the United Nations build
ing.
Before returning to the hotel
we went to Radio City Music
Hall. There were several acts,
the Orchestra played and then
a movie was shown.
The fifth day of our trip be
gan a three hour cruise around
Manhattan Island. All of the
points of interest were pointed
out to us by a guide. This tour
lasted until noon so that after-
noon we went back to the United
Nations building for a guided
tour through it. Some of the
class went to Coney Island and
others went to Greenwich Vil
lage for supper and to look at
the many paintings which are
displayed on Washington Square.
We went to Church Sunday
morning at the Marble Collegiate
Church, the oldest Protestant
church in America. There we
heard Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
speak. Sunday afternoon we went
to the Haden Planetarium, which
had a working model of the solar
system. We also went to the A
merican Museum of Natural His
tory. Part of the group went to
Copacabana for dinner Sunday
night.
Monday morning we left New
York on our way to Washington.
We stopped in Philadelphia and
saw the Liberty Bell and the
building where the Declaration
of Independence was signed. On
reaching Washington, D. C., we
checked in at the Manger Anna
polis Hotel.
The eighth and ninth' days
were spent seeing Washington
and the surrounding country. W T e
saw Mount Vernon, Washington's
home, the Capitol, White House,
Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials,
the Washington Monument, which
we climbed, the National Ar
chives, where all of the old docu
ments are k^pt, the Smithsonian
Institute, Bureau of Printing and
Engraving, where our paper
money is printed, the Pan Ameri
can Building and Glen Echo
Park.
We left Washington Thursday
morning and got to Luray, Va.,
by noon. There we went through
the Luray Caverns. After leav
ing there we were on the Sky
line Drive for about 35 miles.
We went through “Monticello”,
the home of Thomas Jefferson.
Then we checked into the Albe
marle Hotel in Charlottesville,
Va.
Friday morning, June 5, we
started on the last leg of our
trip and everyone seemed glad
that we would soon be home. At
four that afternoon we reached
Columbia, S. C-, and had lunch
Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People.
We left there about five and
reached Nahunta at ten-thirty.

Article 111 of the Constitution to
freeze the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court on constitutional
questions and thus make of that
tribunal an absolute dictator of
what could and could cot be done
under the Constitution's terms.
THIS IS NOT a case of power
which has been abused because
Congress has exercised its author
ity under the Constitution to limit
the appellate jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court only once in his
tory The only argument which
those who would emasculate this
constitutional safeguard can offer
in favor of their proposal is that
it might sometime in the indefinite
future be abused
The purpose of Paragraph 2,
Section 2 Article 111 of the Con

the fulfillment of its appointed
constitutional role but rather it is
to protect the constitution 1

I Eight Sen-
I ators. led by
| Senator Jacob
Javits of New
York have in
troduced a con
: sti t u ti o n a I
। amendment to
| rob the people
I ot that voice
• • •
(noi preparea or printed al government exper.ee)
the "supreme taw of the land' as
provided in the Constitution. It
is one of the constitutional checks
and balances which were designed
by our founding fathers to keep
ou. national government respon
sible and responsive to the will of
the people.
• • •
CANDOR COMPELS the ob
servation that the sponsors of
this proposed amendment ar< far
less interested in the integrity
of the Supreme Court than they
are in perpetuating that Court’s
.ecent unc nstitutional edicts
which have encroached upor the
rights of the states and their cit
izens to manage their own affairs,
thwarted the full enforcement of
the laws ’i" the Executive Branch
and soagln to nullify the constitu
tional poweri and prerogatives of
Congress
Recognizing that there is a
growing groundswell of sentiment
throughout the nation which in
the not too distant future is going
to result in Congress putting the
Supreme Court back to ruling on
what the law is rather than what
a majority of its members wants
it tc be they are endeavoring,
through their proposed amend
ment to thwart the working of
the oeople’s will by stripping
Congress of the power to work it.
in thus seeking to advance their
own political ends, they would
force the American people to re
gard she Supreme Court as Job
did Jehovah when he cried:
“Though He slay me, yet will 1
trust Him.”

County Crops
Damaged by
Heavy Rains
Excessive rainfall for the past
three weeks has caused wide
spread damage to tobacco and
corn crops in the county.
Up until last week-end the only
area of the county that had suf
fered any appreciable damage was
an area of the county west of
Hickox, Kaney bay and the Knee
knocker, and East of Big Creek,
including all of the Hoboken area.
A survey made on May 28
shewed damage in that area to
be approximately 50%.
Not only has the damage in
that area been increased by heavy
rains the past week, but? the Na
hunta, Raybon and Hortense ar
eas have been hard hit, and dam
age now is practically county
wide.
The extent of damage to tobac
co, will depend to a large extent
on weather conditions for the
next few days, and a few cloudy
cool days could help the situa
tion some, where several days of
hot sunshine, would virtually
render many fields worthless.
Not only has tobacco suffered,
but corn on low areas has gone
down also.
County Agent George A. Loyd
says that where corn hasn’t yet
bunched for tassel and where
only a few of the bottom leaves
are fired, that a liberal applica
tion of a quick acting Nitrate
fertilizer, such as Nitrate of So
da, will do wonders toward
bringing it out, and producing a
fair yield of corn.
