Foster, more familiar to the residents of the Fayetteville area as a disc Jockey and sportscaster over the local radio station, WFNC, retired from active Air Force service March 31 after 20 years in uni form. He was honored in a retire ment ceremony at Pope AFB with Brig. Gen. Clyde'Box, 464th Troop Carrier Wing commander, officially thanking the sergeant for his service to the nation and presenting a retirement certifi, cate. Sergeant Foster enlisted in the U. S. Army February 9, 1941, at Camp Stewart, Ga., and was transferred to the U. S. Air Corps in 1945. His service included two overseas tours—in the Southwest Pacific during World War II and in Guam after the war. The sergeant was assigned to Pope twice during his military service—the first time for a few months in 1949, and from 1956 to 1961. During his asignments here, he assumed various administra tive duties to include wing ser geant major and wing material administrative supervisor, the Job he held at retirement. It was during his first assign ment to Pope that the sergeant started to work for the radio sta tion in his off-duty time, and when he returned to Pope later he went to work for them once again. His radio audience falls into two major groups—lovers of fine music and sports fans. His major music program is called “The Lloyd Foster Show,” and is on the air for six and one- half hours every weekday. In ad dition he does various Sunday programs and fills in for absent members of the radio staff. He is also sports director of WFNC, and is familiar to the local sports fans for his play-by-play of many local sporting events, including coverage of the Fayetteville High School Bulldogs football team.

IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS SENSING THE NEWS By Thurman Sensing Executive Vtce-Presideat Soothers States Industrial CeuacB NO REWARDS FOR FRIENDS - One of the darkest moments In contemporary American history came in mid-March when Adlai Stevenson, American delegate to the United Nations, cast a U. S. vote with the communist block in support of a probe into the inter nal affairs of Portugal, a friendly Western nation. Indeed the whole tqpor of U. S. policy in the UN, as laid down by the State Department and with respect to Africa, is such as to alarm and distress all good citi zens. It Is now abundantly clear that the Kennedy Administration has decided to violate long-estab lished friendships with Western nations in order to trmfc» cheap appeals to soc-alled “emerging” African nations which often are pro-communist or which are pet ty dictatorships. The recent African safari by G. Mennen “Soapy” Williams, Mich igan’s former red ink governor, who now is assistant Secretary of State for African affairs, was a sorry spectacle deeply troubling to Americans mindful of the best interests and the dignity of their country. Arriving in Kenya, “Soapy" Williams snubbed Eu ropeans and spoke of British rule as a tyranny. In the Congo, his contribution to American diplom acy consisted of singing with a band of school children. In the main his trip served to alienate pro-Western, pro-American people of European ancestry. Reading “Soapy” Williams’ comments, one gathers that he spread the definite impression that all whites should get out of Africa. Mr. Williams shows there by that he is as ignorant of American history and politics as he is of the economics of state government. An American journalist, who recently returned from Africa, pointed out to me the shameful neglect of the Union of South Africa by the U. S. State Depart ment. That land, which he said is under constant attack by the “lib eral” press, is America’s best friend on the African continent. It is Africa’s only industrial coun try, having a steel producUon al most as large as Italy. It is un swervingly anti-communist, capi talist in its economic system, and economically self-reliant. South Africa today has one of the high est standards of living in the world, for white and black people alike, and it has attained this WITHOUT A CENT of foreign aid from the United States. Almost alone among the nations of the world, South Africa is not seeking a handout from Uncle Sam. Instead it is willing to spend increasingly large sums of its own money to provide for the common Western defense of sea WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES FOR EXPERIENCED PLUMBING AND HEATING CALL BENJAMIN PHONE DIAL $33-6661 or $33-1744 routes around Africa. In the mili tary and scientific fields, It is cooperating qrith the United States by tracking down U. S. missiles. While it does this and many other things important to American security,' it is rewarded by abuse form the State Depart ment “liberals” and by negative votes in the UN. What a strange way this is for the United States to reward a friend that asks nothing but non interference in its domestic af fairs, and that willingly does ev erything possible to check com munist aggression at the vital strategic southern tip of Africa! Instead of showing warm cordial ity for South Africa, the State De partment is lavish in friendliness toward Dictator 1 Nkrumah of backward Ghana, a nation that maintains warm relations with communist countries. Sometimes, Americans must ask themsleves: “Whose side is the State Department on? Why does Adlai Stevenson belabor South Africa and play footsie with Ghana? Or why is there State De partment disapproval of Portu gal, which allows the U. S. to operate planes from iU territo ries, while the Department drags its feet on action against Red Cuba?” Ordinary patriotic Americans find the situation hard to understand. It is a disgrace. If we continue to insult our friends and appease our enemies, what fuuret do we have? EVERYDAY COUNSELOR "But for the grace of God.” These thought - provoking words I’ve seen many times displayed in the meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. It expresses a simple confession of faith of that organi zation, that it is through the grace of God they have achieved sobriety and by which they main tain it. I’ve often been struck by the striking results this organization achieves through this simple con fession of faith, along with their famous Twelve Steps (a copy of these may be had by writing the Everyday Counselor in care of this newspaper, enclosing a self- addressed, stamped envelope. Members of Alcoholics Anony mous win members to their or ganization through their famous Twelve Steps, particularly the twelfth which calls for them to share their experience of victory over alcohol with other alcohol ics. One of the most remarkable and marvelous results of their work is to see them take a man or woman out of the clutches of alcoholism, sometimes at least figuraUvely in the gutter, fill him with such faith and enthusiasm that within 30 or 60 days they have him on his feet conducting a meeting and making a speech about his own personal experi ence. Then I can’t help but make comparisons about how long it takes a man or woman in a church to get on his feet and tes tify to the saving power of Jesus. This seems to be one of the pow erful results of acknowlidging the grace of God. Perhaps we church members do not know how to seek and use the grace of God. Is it because we church members haven’t learned how to seek and use the grace of God? Bishop Kenneth Pfohl told me that when he was a young pastor his mother was in his congrega tion. She became critically ID. He went in and commenced to pray for her recovery. She stop ped him, saying. “Kenneth, pray for grace to meet this crisis—the grace of God.” He said he stop ped and ended his prayer with these words, “Dear Lord, give my mother grace. Amen.” She recov ered and lived many years after this. Bishop Pfohl then told me how this experience brought him to a new realization of the Christian's basic need for the grace of God. He said, “All of us live surround ed by the love of God, but we need grace to realize this and appro priate it." St. Paul was right when he gave us the familiar words of the benediction, “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.” Practically all of his epistles end either with this bene diction or a shorter form, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.” The New Testament is full of references to the grace of God. Get your concordance and look them up. In the fourth chapter of Hebrews we are told how to seek and receive grace, “Let us there fore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mer cy, and find grace to help in time' of need.” SUBSCRIBE to THE CHRONICLE | DIAL 833-6541 FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 4th day of May, 1961, I will render a final account of my acts and doings as Administrator of the estate of Walter L.
