Pasre Four THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday. October 18, 1851 COMMENT ON MEN AND THINGS By The Spectator its departments, the Federal Su preme Court not less than the others. Governor Byrnes will oppose the re-nomination of Mr. Truman. Mr. Byrnes is a capable fighter and is highly esteemed by many of the leaders of the Party. Just what the Governor will do if Mr. Truman receives the nomination isn’t clear. Many of us are opposed to Mr. Tru man now and we shall continue to oppose Mr. Truman even if he should be nominated again. The ac tion of the Party in its National Convention will not bind us to Mr Truman or to anyone else of his squandering habits. In fairness to Mr. Truman he is not the only one at fault about our trend toward Socialism; the Con gress of the Nation has quibbled a bit now and then but it has provided the money for all the fool ishness which rests so heavily on the country. The full responsibility of the congress should be recognized and the Congressmen who vote the money should be repudiated as certainly as Mr. Truman. Our nation has been lax in all I am glad we have a man like Tom Linder of Georgia; he is a fighter and surely we need a few men who will not bow the knee _ _ to Baal, but who will put on the] United States to finance his elec- whole armor and go forth like the tion, and when he has a Senate and beyond belief.

One-half of 48,000,000 is Presidential election about 48.000.- 24,000,000 and there are 24,000,000 No wonder Truman is sassy when he has all the taxpayers in the knightly warriors of the brave days of chivalry. I sat in a conference once, in At lanta, with six or eight men, among them the late Eugene Talmadge. I had heard so much about Governor Eugene Talmadge that I expected a man of swashbuckler type, strut- Congress that doesn’t hesitate to take the money aw’ay from the tax payers and give it to Truman.

This is enough taxes in six years to have provided a home for every five people in the United States— black, white, yellow and red, rich and poor, costing $8,668. In 1945, this would have provided a nice home. It would have provided a good farm. It would have set up a good small business or small fac tory.

So, we may ask as the Great Apostle asked, and we might use the words of the jailer to Paul: “Whal must I do to be saved?” Too many of us are mildinly mak ing the best of a bad condition, forgetmg (hat we are not building a better Nation for those who must fallow us.

Great God, our King.” Let your mind play on this: “The Commerce department took a look at the US foreign aid program, and reported that since the end of World War II this country has help ed other nations to the tune of $32.- 70 million (32 billion 700 million) When capital investments of $3.- 400 million in the World Bank and the International Monetary und are included, the U. R Government s Mr. and Mrs Herbert C. Todd join their daughter, Clara Mae, in stating that Scalfs Indian River Medicine has proved such a bless ing that they would not do without it in their home. They state in ef fect: “Clara Mae seemed to feel weak, tired, nervous and rundown be cause she had no appetite. She did not feel like going to school. After the first bottle of Scalfs Indian River Medicine, Clara Mae could eat better, sleep better and seemed to feel beter and now she feels like playing and going to school. We are very happy because we tried Scalfs Indian River Medicine for our child and gladly recommend it to others." If your child seems tired, listless and weak because of poor appetite and faulty digestion, maybe Scalfs Indian River Medicine is the an swer to your problem. Try it and see for yourself.
