THE CLINTON CHRONICLE

Read Romans 1:1-16
On the human level he was born of David’s stock, but on
the level of the spirit—he was declared Son of God by a mighty
act in that he rose from the dead. (Romans 1:3-4. Neb.)
In the Highlands of Scotland there nestles a little cottage.
Far above it runs a high tension wire carrying electrical power
from a northern lake to cities in the south. But in the little
cottage the folk still use coal oil. There is no transformer to
take that high voltage overhead and bring it down to the
voltage that could be used in the cottage.
In the high and holy Ood and in fallen and sinful man we
see divine power in contrast with human weakness. The gospel
proclaims that there is a transformer for bringing the power
of God into the lives of men. Christ is the transformer.
The cross of Christ is, as it were, the shaft let down from
heaven to bring the power of God to man’s level. That cross
is grounded in the earth where man lives. Christ’s power to
save is as potent today as in the days of Paul.
PRATER: We thank Thee, O God, for the grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ Let the power of that love flow Into our beings
Gils day that life for us may be transformed by the friendship
of Jesus. In His name we ask. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAT
All who truly encounter the redeeming love of Christ will
be transformed.

A GAMBLE WITH
AMERICA’S FUTURE
Incredible, cynical, and illus
ory. These are the only suitable
words to describe the Kennedy
administration’s proposed 686.8
billion budget. This proposal con
stitutes the biggest financial out
lay in the country’s history,
either in peace or warfare. And
Mr. Kennedy has the audacity to
tell Congress: 'T have felt obliged
to limit severely my 1964 expen
diture proposals.”
The proposed budget Is so ir
rational in character that it is
for the Rural Electrification Ad
ministration program, projects
that had their origin a genera
tion ago in New Deal '' times,
would be established. Space
spending would repen an as
tronomical $6.1 billion.
The suspicion is growing In
the country that a crtical look
needs to be taken at space spend
ing. Landing on the moon—an
administration goal — may sat
isfy more of a publicity man’t
purposes than a scientific need.
In addition, space spending is
rapidly getting to be part of the
annual pork barrel. Various
areas of the country are compet
ing for space facilities the way
they have sought river and har
bor improvements in the put.
This budget is so fantastic that
it appears to have been written
by a team of young New Frontier
braintrusters who were told to
put down anything they could
think of. Yet the budget has to
be taken seriously because there
are liberals 4n Congress who will
vote anything the White House
wants, who will seek to pass such
legislation with no thought but
the next election.
Yet American people haven’t
lost their common sense. Surely
they must recognize that the
President is playing with figures
—colossal figures. The average
man who struggles to make a
living and stay out of debt must
see the terrible peril in a budget
based on illusions of new reve
nues, on deficits that mean
crushing debt for the people of
this country. For the President
to use the word ’’frugality” in
connection with his financial pro
gram is an insult to the intelli
gence of the American people and
those who represent them - in
Congress. What he proposes
could wreck the nation.
Rush G. Wilson
Greneville—Rush Gary Wilson,
84, of 643 East Paris Road Ex
tension, died Wednesday, Febru
ary 13, at 6:15 p. m. at his home
following six weeks of declining
health and a sudden attack.
Born in Laurens County, he
was a son of the late William Wil
son and Payne Wallace Wilson.

difficult to make a straight
forward criticism of it. This bud
get is a spend and elect budget,
is a spend and elect budget, a
budget that is an exercise in poli
tics not fiscal planning.
If Mr. Kennedy’s proposed tax
cuts were accepted by Congress,
the country would have—as Sen.
Harry F. Byrd pointed out Janu
ary 17th—“the greatest peace
time deficit in history.” Thus the
$98.8 billion budget is a prescrip
tion for national bankruptcy.
To begin with, it is being wide
ly and accurately described as a
“gambler’s budget” or a “Las
Vegas” budget. Mr. Kennedy has
made the guess that with tax
cuts the “growth rate” of the
United States will soar and reve
nues will increase. But this is an
assumption, not a prudent cal
culation. Such an assumption
cannot be made. Time and
again, changes in the economy
produce dips that cannot be ac
counted for in advance.
For Mr. Kennedy to base his
budget on great expectations of
economic growth makes no more
sense than for the average citi
zen to #uy a $6,660 automobile in
the belief that a maiden aunt
may die and leave him the
money. An individual’s family
economy cannot be based on
guesswork. Most certainly, a na
tion’s finances cannot be develop
ed on the basis, of a gamble.
This aspect of the budget aside,
there is still the matter of appal
ling waste and spendthrift plan
ning. Mr. Kennedy says he is
attempting to hold the line. But
the proposal reads otherwise. The
President wants the federal gov
ernment to get into the field of
commuter transportation for big
cities—to the tune of $500 million.
He proposes that the nation build
a high-voltage power line from
the Pacific Northwest to South
ern California for $35 million
more than a private group is
ready and willing to spend to
construct such a facility. He asks
that the Alliance for .Progress
receive a quick shot in the arm
of $200 million. Overall spending
on Latin giveaways would
amount to $1 billion. The foreign
aid total he suggests is $3.75 bil
lion.
Increased spending can be
noted all aljng the line. Funds
