We are often told that another war is unthinkable. We know that more than 340 Americans have been killed and approximately 1,500 more have been wounded in an “unthinkable” war in South Vietnam. The failure to win over the Communists in that country is attributed to the unstable poli tical situation there. Since Pres ident Diem’s assassination in November, 1963, there have been six violent changes of govern ment in Vietnam. Diem’s death was reportedly due to the religious persecutions there, which he allegedly approv ed. We accepted that- version of the assassination in spite of a report of our own Ambassador, Frederick G. Nolting, who said: “After two and a half years, I have never seen any evidence of religious persecution.” Diem was known to be anti-Communist. There has been strong evidence that our own State Department gave at least encouragement and help to the Vietnamese who were determined to overthrow the Diem government, which certainly fitted exactly the plan of the Communists in that area. How long will it take the Am erican people to verify and meas ure the alleged interference of International Communist policy with our frustrating war in Viet nam ? Exactly why were officials of our State Department determined to do away with the duly-elected anti-Communist government of Vietnam, which was winning the war against the Reds? It took us 15 years to find out what happened to our war against Communism in China. American foreign policy was largely respon sible for the victory of Commun ism and the defeat of our ally Chiang Kai-shek on the Chinese mainland. In 1949, in a statement contained in a recent book, “How the Far East Was Lost,” Con gressman John F .Kennedy said: “This is the tragic story of China whose freedom we once fought to preserve. What our young men had saved, our diplomats and our President have frittered away.” Is our present State department re-running the same old Chinese moving picture now in Southeast Asia? In the Congo? in Panama, Cuba and elsewhere in the world where we still refuse officially to recognize or face up to Interna tional Communist policy? Nothing on earth is interfering with the peaceful adjustment of our foreign relations except Com munism, Communists and the persisting and always violently anti-American international Com munist policy. We do not now propose and— with the single exception of Gua temala—we have never seriously tried to help any captive Com munist nation to free itself. We have no observable plan to prevent our own ultimate slide into Com munist slavery, and we will not have one until we come to grips with our futile, fatal, foreign policy. United Fund meeting set The annual meeting of the Un ited Fund of Newberry County will be held Wednesday morning, February 10 at 10 a.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall, according to John F. Clarkson, president. The purpose of the meeting will be to elect a Board of Directors to serve for the ensuing year.

They had been chosen as members of the 1965 All-State band. They rehearsed with the other members of the band all weekend and then presented a concert on Sunday at Furman University. as the copies arrive, the members of the Senior Players will begin rehearsal. On Friday of last week, Janu ary 29, the Exchange Club pre sented the Freedom Shrine to the student body of Newberry High. The Freedom Shrine is a perma nent exhibit of 28 authentic re productions of historically famous documents ranging from Jeffer son’s “rough draft” of the Decla ration of Independence to the of ficial U. S. copy of the United Nations charter. The Shrine will be housed in the Newberry High school cafeteria. By EARL In my opinion the one most needed characteristic among Christians today is that of ex pectation.” Too often we resem ble the man who prayed for a mountain to be moved but when he arose the next morning and saw the mountain still there, he said, “I knew it wouldn’t hap pen.” If Christians believe in prayer, then they must pray with determination, always expecting the Lord to hear them and ans wer their prayer. Ours is a nation of much growth and this is basically true because of the amount of effort and mon ey put forth by our industries for the purpose of research. I cannot imagine the American Telephone and Telegraph Company building “Telstar” with a transmitter but with no receiver. No, they had the faith in their research to know that not only would they be able to talk to their spacecraft, but that it would also talk back to them. Should we as Christians have any less faith in our Lord than industry has in its projects? By{ WILSON no means. Since we have become a nation of Univac and punched IBM cards we seem to feel that God must answer our prayers in split seconds, but the one needful lesson for us to learn is this: God answers prayer as He sees best, and not as we desire it. The Bible says, “If my people, which are called in my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their lands.” Christians are to be hum ble, to pray, and to seek the face of the Lord, and then will their prayer be answered. Marriages... Archie Fallow and Patsy Laz- zelle of Newberry, were married on January 22nd at Newberry by Rev. Clarence K. Derrick.

Miss Dawkins dies at hospital Miss Juanita Juliette Dawkins, 69, died early Friday morning at the Newberry County Memorial hospital after several months of serious illness.

Funds received by the 10th of the month earn from the 1st of the month. * Where you Save Does make a difference. 5AFVTTY •F VOVA SAVINGS INSURED . /j# * A BRANCH OFFICE—BATESBURG, S. C.
