It often stops people from taking foolish chances. Fear moves people to act in their own defense when attacked. And the reac- tion to fear often has resulted in amazing accomplishments for the good of all man kind. The polk) vaccine was largely the result of public reaction to intelligent fears. Fright ened by the terrible epidemics which spread across the nation each summer, millions of people from all walks of life joined forces through the March of Dimes to support the work of an organization dedicated to an all- out fight-to-the finish with polio. Within 20 years that organization made possible the development of a safe and effective preven tive against paralytic polio—the Salk vac cine. Millions of Americans, protected by three inoculations of Salk vaccine, have reasonably lost their fear of polio. But almost, as many millions, still unprotected by Salk shots, have ; forgotten their own reasonable fears. This is both unwise and dangerous. These people, through apathy, indifference or sheer iner tia. are still taking foolish chances. They are jeopardizing their own health futures and the welfare of their own families. The epidemicJn Detroit this year shocked a lot of people into awareness that vaccine must lx* given to children, their parents and older sisters and brothers too, before it can yield its wonderful health-protecting bene fits. It is tragic that, short of such stark and terrible reminders as an epidemic, people can so rapidly forget their own reasonable fears. Let’s jog their memories. Let’s finish the business with polio by getting everyone vac cinated. Then let's move ahead with the Na tional Foundation preparing now to launch its broader health programs against arth ritis and birth defects while it continues e>- sentia! aid to polio victims of the past. If the Salk vaccine is fully used, there need U* no polio victims of the future. I>o starved apple, pear and other orchards on thousands of acres have withered.

The commercial idea of work and property in the guise of confiscatory taxation and federal assumption of local and individ ual responsibility will destroy incentive and with it'the dynamic character of this coun try.

Nov. 27—While I was on the ocean returning from Africa, an important Congres sional election took place. In looking over the news paper headings I find they range from “A blow to Eisenhower” to “The GOP is dead.” Of course, the election is a great disappointment to Mr. Eisenhower; but my statistics show that the GOP got 44 per cent of the national vote This is not too bad. WHEN TOE DEMOCRTIC PARTY WAS “DEAD-" Let me answer the second comment with a personal story. When I was Assistant Secretary of Labor dur ing World War I, I became well ac quainted with Cordell Hull, who la ter became Secretary of State Aft er the death of President Wilsori. fol | lowed by the Republican landslide. Mr. Hull had no official position. Jbut was chairman of the defunct Democratic committee. Before leav on ; small grains m the amount of 439 88 and these loans were repaul in the early part of 1938. Payments to six producers for shorn wool, anu unshorn lambs in the amount ot $176.14 were made Production Adjustment Activities show that cotton acreages were measured for 1958 farms and that in 1958 out ol 17.800.5 acre allotment ’ for Laurens County only 6.587.8 acre.' of cotton was actually planted. Per formance reported visited 1.358 wheat farms for the purpose of measuring wheat acreage. The coun ty wheat allotment for 1958 was 7.- 047.5 acres. The measured acreage of planted wheat in the county was 4,321.8 acres. Mr Ropp stated that the reason the cotton and wheat acreage allotments were not plant ed in 1958 was due largely to the rental agreements under the Soil Bank programs For 1959 Laurens County received a wheat allotment of 7,114.7 acres on 1,187 farms. The Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP) afforded Laurens County farmers the opportunity of earning $119,216.00 of which amount $110,718 00 was earned and paid to farmers of the county. Mr. Ropp summerized the pay ments as follows: six producers earned $176.14 on wool payments. 580 farmers earned $110,718.00 un der the 1957 ACP; 1,218 farmers earned $707,327.19 under the 1958 Cotton Acreage Reserve; 295 farm ers earned $82,164.69 under the 1958 Wheat Acreage Reserve, and 128 fapmers earned a total of $95,483.00 under the 1956-57 and 1958 Conser vation Reserve program, making a total of $995 969.02 paid to Laurens To Manage Store Edward Perry, Jr., is the man ager of the new Community Cash v uprr Market to open here next Wednesday. iK-e. 3.

Mr. Hull must get out. In regard for Mr Hull 1 took $50 from my pocket and gave it to him for the rent I thought no more about this until I received an in vitation to a dinner for the purpose of reviving the Democratic Party. Even then I thought nothing about it until Mr. Hull called me to the platform and in troduced me to the audience as “Roger W Babson. who saved the Democratic Party" He then told the above story This was only a few years before the Program and $210,937.00 for the 1959 Conservation Reserve Program of the Soil Bank, according to Mr Ropp’s statement in the meeting.

It seems as if the independent American voters are getting tired physically mentally, and even spirit ually. This group (about 10 per cent of the voters) consists of intelligent independent citizens with Re publican leanings to the right. They visualize a top for profits, with the cost-of-living, taxes, and compe- tion constantly climbing. They are not voting against anyone or for anyone; but are voting for a change Having been on my African trip for the past two months. I ask each reader of this column to answer for himself “what it all means’’ and not depend upon my conclusion. Let me repeat, however, that the Re publican Party is not dead and will come back with a landslide after this 10 per cent become again dis illusioned. Yes, they will find that the promised “cure” will be worse than the “disease.” 1 CLLNTON, S.
