i TOE CLINTON CHRONICLE Clinton, S. C, Tharaday, PocnMber 24, 1964 —— ■■ — — during the laat IS years. These are amazing ac complishments in vie# of the rnthleesness of the welfare statists in the United States and the pres sures for liberal conformity and censorship. Perhaps the most telling accomplishment of 1964 was the domination of the national Republi can Party by real conservatives who rejected ‘‘me tooism” for the GOP. And one can be sure that one of the major political objectives of the next four years, on the part of many people will be to maintain and expand the real conservative strength within the Republican Party, keeping out those forces that want to deny Americans a real choice at the polls. At the same time conservative Southern Dem ocrats on the local level, who did not support the . national ticket, undoubtedly will be under heavy Brded Street Methodist Church pressure, if not actually the subject of purge Mrs. David S.

PenfleM The Birth of Jesus And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Au gustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cy- renius was governor of Syria). And all went to be taxed, every one into hia own city. And Joseph also went up from Gali lee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David); to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife being great with child. And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brouffht forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, they fell down, and worshipped him; and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. The Flight Into Egy0t And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joeeph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: For Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet. Out of Egypt have I called my son. Sdtooper A great deal of interest centered on the ship that Capt Andrew Robinson built at Gloucester, Mass. He had masted and rigged the sailing vessel in a manner different from any other. A sizable crowd was on hand for the launching in 1713. The blocks were knocked aside and the ship slip ped down the ways and slid smoothly into the water. ‘Oh, how she scoots!” exclaimed an excited specta tor. “Scooo,” meaning to skim, was derived from the Scottish word “scon”—to skim stones across water. Mix.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for be hold, I bring you good tidings of Great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in Hie city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord, and this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Beth lehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in manger. And when they had seen it, Toward Realignment Item* of Interest From...

And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shep herds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart The Visit of The Wise Men Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the King, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Whre is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east and are come to wor ship him. When Herod the king heard these things he was troubled and all Je rusalem with him. And when he had gath ered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, in Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet. And thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Judea, are not the least among the princes of Judea; for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Isreal. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent t^em to Beth lehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they' departed and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. And when they were come into the It will take some time for the election returns to be fully analysed and for the complete mean ing of the Goldwater-Johnson contest to be under stood. But even before the voters had handed in their verdict, it was clear that the campaign had produced great changes in the nation. One of the ironies of the election campaign— from the standpoint of conservatives—was that the incumbent administration was forced to use conservative appeals in certain areas of political controversy. For example, Mr. Johnson repeat edly declared that hie aims insofar as fical policy is concerned are in the direction of prudent man agement. This in itself, even if not carried out, represented a victory for the conservative move ment in America, which over a long period of years has hammered away at conservatism in public financing. Another great change reflected in the cam paign has to do with the Southern states. Not in a century has the South been the object of such strenuous political attention. Heretofore, South erners have been regarded as captive voters of one party. But the two-party system blossomed as never before in scores of Southern communi ties during an exciting campaign. Whatever the outcome on a state-by-state basis, it is clear from the campaign activity within each state that the South is no longer a monolith. It contains both liberals and conservatives, and conservaties have no reason to regret the splits that showed up in the election. One of the reasons conservatism has lagged as a national force in the United States is that conservatives in the South were cut off and iso lated from conservatives elsewhere in the nation. This time Southern conservatives had a big voice in the national campaign waged by the Republi can Party. And Southern conservative spokes men such as Senator Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) were ns welcome before California audiences as they were in Dixie. There’s no question but that Southern poli tics underwent a massive shaking up as a result of the campaign. They were forced to choose sides as never before, and this applied as much to business interests as to individuals. But, after all, this is precisely what conaervatives have been seeking for years. They have been calling for a realignment of parties in the United States, with conservatives on one side and liberals on the other. They have no reason to complain when this happens in an election. If it means a temporary setback at some points, than R must he under stood that the word temporary is the key to un derstanding. The South, as Is the case with other sections of the country, cannot afford to speak with a confuted, muffled voice. People knust decide to support one pubUc philosophy or another. In the long run, this is the way to better government in the United States. Of course, s real realignment takes time, election doesn’t change everything. Th of the conservative movement in America ex tends back many years. One am trace It to the opposition to the Rooeevdt New Deal. Or one can show conservatism’s rebirth in the eariy cold war years of the late 1940's. Gradually, year by year, conaervatives gainsd understanding of their mission. They began to build contacts, many of which were not cemented until the election just ended.
