THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. IN WASHINGTON ER SHEAO. Wk,U Cotrf-spordent Veto Is Not Leirfil ■WHERE IS A tremendous hue and • cry to congress and from other sources based on a fallacious prem ise that our nation, through our delegation to the United Nations, should veto seating of the delega tion from Communist China in the security council or even in the general assembly of that body. ! There is little doubt but that if this were possible that is just what the United States would do. But as a matter of fact, under the rules of the United Nations, the veto of a delegation from a nation already a member of the United Nations is not permissible. We can use our veto against them, and will, no doubt do so. But the seating of a .delegation from a nation already a member is merely a procedural process and not vetoable under U.N. rules. For instance, in the case of Spain, or any other nation, not yet a member of the UN, this country, or any other country could use the veto to prevent membership. But 'China is not only ? member of the U,N. t but also is a member of the security council, hence under U.N. rules the seating of the delegation representing China is a matter of votes for and against. So no matter how we detest Communist China or any other Communist nation, al though we refuse to recognize the government of Communist China, we have only one vote, and not a veto to the matter of seating the Chinese delegation. This rule of pro cedure was set up in the UN in 1946, the member nations recog nizing the fact that if the veto ap plied to delegations of nations which already were members, any change of administration, for in stance to this country, could bring about an ouster of the American delegation, or any other delegation; or following the rule to absurdity, a delegate from any nation by use of the veto could keep himself pen petually in office. • • • Secretary of State Dean Acheson explained this rule of the UN to a ressional committee recently, but still it did not stop the charge against him of softness toward Communists by some who insist on making Acheson a whipping boy. And further, his explanations got le publicity so that the people this country could understand situation. Food and Drug Laws The Cooperative League is con ducting a very worthwhile cam paign to amend the food and drug laws to require the labeling of chemical and other contents in food, insecticides and fertilizer. It is making its campaign mainly on bread and fertilizer, which coopera tives produce and label. But under present law the triple 'ich white bread manufactured by coops may be banned because it contains more food value than required by the food and drug act. For instance, this coop bread contains, and is so labeled, 2 per cent wheat garm, 8 per cent milk solids and 6 per cent high-protein soy flour. The bureau of agricultural research reports that the average white bread on the market contains only per cent milk solids, whereas the National Research Council urges at least 6 per cent and the coop bread contains 8 per cent. The league wants all bread labeled as to its contents. But projected standards go into effect the triple rich bread is too good te be sold in interstate commerce when the food and drug administra tion says the top limit is 3 per cent Moy and 1% per cent wheat germ, • » « Washington Silhouettes I Washington ■Silhouettes — The T Vhite House looks barren and de serted . . . windows boarded up , . scaffolds and wo-kmen’s . shanties adjacent . . . trees pro tected by barricades ... it is to process of a $5,000,000 modemiza- \tion program.

MIRROR ^ ^ ^ Injustice Causes Of Your Much Dishonesty MIND By Lawrence Gould Does poor pay make men dishonest? Answer: Usually not unless they feel that it is unfair. A worker who feels that his employer is tak ing advantage of him will at least be tempted to try to get even by whatever means he can, and may spread the feeling over life in gen- eraL But few people can be con sciously dishonest until they have found a way to justify it in their own minds, howeVer irrationally. The crook tells himself that every body else is “out to cheat him,” and even the young delinquent usually feels unjustly treated, especially by his parents. Is the brain the source of maladjustment? Answer: No, writes N. H. Pronko in the Journal of Psychology. The trend nowadays is to see mental ill ness, not primarily as the result of disorders of the brain, or even the individual mind, but as the reaction of the person as a whole to domes tic, economic, social, sexual and M ANY OF US THINK that the organisms or germs that cause diseases in the body are in the air and we breathe them into our bodies. This is true, but what we forget is that some of these germs are already in our bodies, doing little or no harm because our fight ing forces (our resistance) is strong enough to prevent them getting a hold in our bodies. However, when you are tired, or the weather is damp, hot or cold, then these organisms already in the body begin to give trouble, particu larly if a lot of these organisms are about in the outdoor air also. Generally speaking, you may have a good body and you or your fore fathers have had a number of com mon diseases that built them, and then you, a good resistance to the organisms of disease. However, whether your resistance is strong enough to fight off the disease or give it such a good fight that you recover depends upon your heart. If your heart has enough reserfe power, you successfully fight off the disease and recover. If your heart reserve has been lowered by Removal of the adenoid clears the opening of the eustachian tube. • • • One third of patients who visit doctors’ offices have no physical causes for their symptoms. other life problems. A patient whose intelligence is severely im paired may show less brain damage than one with much milder symp toms. Even in brain injury, how the person reacts to the fact of being hurt is more important than how much damage was done. Does psychoanalysis promise a “fifth freedom?” Answer: Yes, says Dr. Lawrence S. Kubie, professor of psychiatry at Yale University Medical School in his new book: “The Practical and Theoretical Aspects of Psy choanalysis.” Through this treat ment, many people have won “the Fifth Freedom which is the most important freedom of all— free dom from the tyranny of the un conscious.

During the flu epidemic of 1918- 1919, the papers stated that this ailment attacked the strong and vigorous in a more deadly manner than it did those who were of poor physique. Why did the strong individuals die? It was because they were strong and did not keel over or go immediately to bed when first at tacked, and kept on their feet for two, three or more days before they finally went, or were put, to bed. This was the reason so many of them died. They used up much of their heart reserve at a time when the heart was already fighting a hard battle and needed to build up reserve power, instead of spending or using it. Remember, the heart does from three to five times as much work when you are walking about as it does when you are lying quietly to bed. If slender, try to acquire calm ness of spirit. If heavily built, try to avoid overweight. • • • Extra beats of the heart are harmless. Firearms Still Needed On Most 0. S. Farms Rifle Is Still Effective Way to Control Varmints Even though marauding Indians and bad men have disappeared, farmers and ranchers still need their guns almost as much as ever. Where the rifle was once needed to preserve life, the rifle and shotgun today help preserve the livelihood of those who live on the land. To many, firearms are still necessary agricultural or ranching “tools”. For pest and varmint control, firearms are often far more effec tive than traps and less dangerous than poison, and in many cases are To many, firearms are still necessary agricultural or ranch ing tools. They are effective in the extermination of posts and varmints. the only means to destroy certain birds and animals that damage crops, stored grains and produce and kill poultry.

Increased Dairy Product Prices Forecast for '51 Milk and dairy products prices in 1951 will be moderately higher than to 1950, most dairy experts believe. A stronger demand will more than offset the effects of large carry-to stocks and probably smaller exports. Farm production of milk to 1951 is likely to be little different from the 120.5 to 121 billion pounds in pros pect for this year. Dominent factor in the 1951 out look is the prospective sharp in crease in demand, stemming from larger defense outlays. Both employ ment and wages are rising. Disposa ble incomes will reach a new high next year. Many dairymen expect total cash receipts from marketings of all prod ucts in 1951 to increase more than expenditures, thereby giving a net increase in farm income. The in creased income will probably ex ceed increases in expenditures.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Isaiah 42: 1-8. T HERE is no room to this one thin column for a commentary on the whole Sunday school lesson each week. If the reader is interest ed, as it is hoped he will be, he will first study the Bible pas sages themselves, with whatever aids his own denomina tion furnishes him. The Sunday school teacher or Bible stu dent who wishes to do really thorough work will need a Bible Dictionary and at least a one- volume commentary on the entire Bible. (Dummelow’s [Macmillan Co.] and the Abingdon Commentary [Abingdon Press] are among the best of these.) As a background for the studies of the next three months, the student should read one or more good “Lives” of Christ. Write to your own church bookstore for suggestions. • • • When Is New Year’s Day? E VERY day is a New Year’s Day for somebody. The legal holiday that goes by that name seldom comes at a real turning-point to any one’s life. The real occasion Is when some momentons change oc curs, so that after that day life never flows in its old channels. In this sense, a very Important New Year’s Day for Jesus was the day when he was baptized in the Jordan river. 1 Before that day he lived as a carpenter in one village: after that day, as a public man, indeed THE public Man of all times. The pat tern of his life completely changed • • • Decisions N EW YEAR’S is a good time to review three things: your de cisions, your life’s work, and youi friendships. Have yon pat off m decision for a long time? Now is the time to face it. Have yon been mak ing “unfortunate” decisions, choices you regret? Now is a good time to look into these and see why yon have been taking the wrong road too often. Have yon any bed-rock principle on which yon base all your deci- sionsT — Jesus’ New Year was marked by certain decisions made once and for aU. To begin with, there was his bap tism. One thing it surely meant: Jesus that day decided deliberately to be counted among those who need repentance rather than among those who think they r don’t. Not everybody came down to the Jor dan to be baptized. Some came only to criticize. Jesus sided with the sinners, not the critics. It was a life-long decision. He became known as the “Friend of sinners.” There were also the further de cisions to the wild country where he went through his temptations. Each temptation faced Jesus with a choice; each time his choice was on God’s side. • • • Life’s Work T HERE is a great thrill to retting out on the work one is going to do for the rest of one’s natural life. Out of the harbor traffic on to the open sea! Jesus now becomes a preacher, and this was his work for the rest of his life. His carpentry has long since mouldered to dust; his preaching and teaching are im mortal But suppose Jesus had been a slipshod, inefficient, careless carpenter? Would he have ever become a great teacher and preacherT It is quite take, the prodneta of his shop have van ished, bat there was something taking shape in that shop which did not vanish: his character. Your choice about your future and final life’s work may still be in the future; your best work may not yet have been begun. But the way you do what you have to do, today, will help set the pattern for every choice and every work to your life. • • • Friendships N EXT after Jesus’ life-work came his choice of friends. No doubt he had known Simon and the others t>efore, and Mark simply records to his abrupt way the climax of a long story, to telling how Jesus “called” them. We cannot imagine Jesus with out his disciples. It is not exag geration to say that even the Son of God would have been a failure, as a man, had he won no friends. There would have been no Christian religion if Jesus had had no friends. Around New Year’s time it is well to ask oneself the question: Am I as careful in selecting my friends as Jesus was to selecting his?
