Heads Columbia Mayor Lester Bates told Clinton Kiwanians last week, “Help to make your city the kind of place you can be sold on one hundred per cent, so that you, in turn, can sell its advantages to others.” He said, “At this critical period in the history of our cities, we need the hearts, heads and hands of people like you. . .Every free man, in his work and in his fam ily life, in his public behavior and in the secret places of his heart, should see himself as a builder and maintainer of the ideals of his society. “If you believe in your country, be worthy of her. You don’t need to quit your job and enroll as a missionary to prove your de dication and belief in her ideals. Stay where you are and do a bet ter job, be a better citizen, live a better life. Every good man strengthens society.” Mr. Bates, speaking at the re gular meeting of the Klwanis Club at the Mary Musgrove Ho tel Thursday night, cited the breakdown in law and order as “the greatest threat to our coun try today.” He said, “This is a national problem because criminals re cognize no boundaries for their crimes: unprecedented crime, violence and blatant disrespect for established law gnaws at the structure of every city, town, and hamlet in our great country.” He added, “For too many of our citizens, freedom has come to mean freedom from un pleasantness, freedom from work, freedom from discipline, freedom from sacrifice, freedom from duty, freedom from respon sibility--when the citizen is no longer concerned for the welfare of his neighbor, anarchy sets in and no one is free. “License to satisfy selfish desires in the name of freedom will destroy our clvillutloa.” Mayor Bates, who is consid ered a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for governor of South Carolina, said, "We must stop coddling criminals and mak ing up excuses for law breakers. . .we must take the handcuffs off our policemen and put them on the criminals. No man is above the law; and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man’s permission when we re quire him to obey it. Cancer The disease of cancer, said the first edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica 200 years ago, is thought to be named after the “crab fish” because “where it has once got, it is scarce pos sible to drive it away.” Consult John L.
