A Reasonable Fear
Reasonable fear can be a very good thing.
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 Douk-
hobors have burned their former jam fac
tory and even mhny of their own homes. John
.1. Verigirt, grandson of Peter the Lordly
Verigin, who led the Doukhobors'to British
Columbia declares: “The community theory
of taking out according to the family’s needs ioan Values
and putting in according to ability did not I In 1957 10 luans * or<> madt
work. Some put\ in more than others. This
bred individualism.”
The robbing Peter to pay Paul theory of
economics which is advocated by big govern
ment "planners” should be scorned by every
American. 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.

Babson Discusses
Politics
Babson Park, Mass.. 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

Mr. Hull had no official position.
Jbut was chairman of the defunct
Democratic committee. Before leav

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

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

They recognize that President Eisenhower is a good
man with high ideals and that he is trying hard to do
right, but feel that he is not “practical.” Of course,
this is weak reasoning.
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

for himself “what it all means’’ and not depend upon
my conclusion. Let me repeat, however, that the Re

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.”
