Well, this month I’m going to be against both political parties. (But not equally.) It sure gets ‘tiresmne: not having anyone to vote for. This is a crucial period for Americans. In a few days we’ll haveto make a very important de cision. Trouble is, we haven’t got a fair choice. Which Twin Has the Phony? Judging by the platforms of the two parties there are few real issues. It’s mainly a question of who can do the same things bet ter. Neither party thinks enough of States’ Rights to put it in its platform. One important platform differ ence: The Democrats are commit ted to repeal the Taft-Hartley Act If successful, we’d face the great est era of labor racketeering, small-business failures and infla tion in many years. Democrats would also 'try to pass a federal law making state-right-to-work laws unconstitutional. That would be a devastating blow to the growth of industry, particularly Southern industry. That would kick the door open to a Labor-So cialist Party. Both parties, according to the platforms, are for Socialism with moderation. Question: Can the present Democrat leadership be moderate ? A Democrat party own ed by the radicals can’t really move in any direction except left. Like that baseball scout’s report on the rookie shortstop said: “He has trouble going to his right.” Both parties have moved as close to the middle of the road as they dare—to pick up the in dependent vote. The Republicans, who want to move to the right, have moved to the left. The Demo crats, who want to move to the left (How far, America, O how far ?) have moved to the right during the campaign. There’s no doubt that the Re publicans would kinda’ like to move towards States’ Rights, bal anced budget, reduced debt and taxes—if they could do it and get re-elected. “Happy Pills” Won’t Cure Ills One of the best things about Mr. Eisenhower is Mr. Benson. 1 think Mr. Benson is one of the finest Americans of our genera tion. The President deserves great credit for not succumbing to the relentless pressure to fire Benson. Trouble is, most of his other cabinet members don’t measure up to Benson, a true friend of the farmer, who is look ing -out for the nation FIRST. We need MORE Secretaries who put the interest of all the people ahead of the particular group they represent. The Democrats “happy pill” cure of the farm problem—high, rigid, and all-inclusive price sup ports (or some sort of Brannan Plan—would doubtless entirely wreck what’s left of a free mar ket in agriculture. And it would also wreck what’s left of farm ers’ individual freedom and would result in even greater unmarket able surpluses and foreign give aways. A vote for Kefauver-Stevenson will be a vote for AFL-CIO, ADA Negroes and other racial groups, NAACP, Farmers Union, foreign- born, and the Socialists . .every minority which thinks of itself first, America second. The South is in poor company. Another prominent supporter of the Stev- enson-Kefauver ticket is Elvis Presley, whom somebody aptly described as Frank Clement set to music. The two parties—if it can still be said that we have two parties —follow the same collectivist pat tern. Both are committed to world boon-doggling (current for eign give-away figure $5 billion of your tax money every year.) Both packed the Supreme Court with unqualified politicians ded- icated to left wing “social gains.” Both are guilty of uncontrolled spending and devouring taxation; both favoring increased Federal Aid to schools and public hous ing. Both claim credit for invent ing the New Deal. Both are for increased Social Security, old age benefits, minimum wage, United Nations, Soil Bank, (the argu ment is over whose idea it was and who could run it better) and civil rights,” including forced integration. Both like Earl War ren. Both oppose radically reduc ing or killing the federal income tax. Both oppose Senator McCar thy—and Khrushchev and Bul ganin. Both blocked the Bricker Amendment and the natural gas bill. Both are against work.Nixon came out the other day in favor o fa four-day week, competing against Walter Ruther’s 30-hour week idea. Both candidates say, ! believe it or not, that Commuiv — ’ PAGE FIVE ists in government is not an is sue. Snakes Alive! Once upon a time a man climb ed into bed and found two snakes there: A dynamically conserva tive baby python and a liberal, for-the-small-man rattler. So he kicked the rattler out and went to bed with the python. Better be squeezed to death later than to die a violent, immediate poison death. And then there was Little Red Riding Hood. She was a smart one! She wouldn't get in bed with anybody she didn’t trust —and she knew that the “grand mother” giving her the old come- on was really a WOLF. So she left her grandmother’s house. Lots of us have also left the house of our grandmother—and we, too, are in the woods. But I think the election of Kefauver- Stevenson would be a near cal amity for America. I don’t see how any real Democrat—anybody who believes in history, honesty, the multiplication table and Thos. Jefferson—could be for Kefauver- Stevenson and the dangerous el ements they represent. Our voting franchise has been short-circuited . by callous politi cians whose doctrine is 1‘they have nowhere else to go.” A lot of conservatives won’t go to the polls saying “Why should we vote for something we don’t believe in?” I can’t answer that. But if they can’t conscientiously vote Repub lican, they should go to the polls and write-in a protest vote FOR Senator Byrd, Senator Knowland, T. Coleman Andrews or someone they do believe in. Whatever our party, whatever our principles, let’s vote: For, against, write-in, or protest. Not to vote is to de fault—default freedom, citizen ship and duty. ; m COUNCIL MEMBERS URGED TO VOTE All members of the County Council of Farm Women are urg ed to make plans now to exer cise their privilege and duty to vote in *the election on November 6th, according to Mrs. B. V. Chapman, legislative chairman of the Council. Mrs. Chapman re minds the Council members that ifr is necessary to take their reg istration certificates to the polls in order to vote. “The privilege of a secret bal lot is ours,” said Mrs. Chapman, TALENT SHOW WINNERS aLthe County Farm Bureau meeting Saturday were, center.

Since that time the Indians have bounced back to per fectly balance ‘ the ledger with a 2-2-2 record for the season. Vic torious in their last two battles, the Redskins have displayed amazing talent for moving the ball well against all sorts of de fenses, in defeating Furman 13-7, in a close one, and then Guilford by a 28-6 score.

The public is cordially invited. teams ever this year. They have been knocking off the North State Conference teams, one by one, with only a big loss to East ern Carolina early in the season. One of their most astonishing vic tories was a 14-13 single point margin over Catawba—a team which Newberry tied 7-<7. The Christians of Elon have a strong running attack led by half backs Kerry Richards and Joe DelGais. Their fine quarterback, Richard Bradham, is a cagey sig nal caller and a good passer, al- thought he shares the passing honors with back Richards. Play ing fullback for the Christians is big 200 pound Bpb Stauffenberg. This big fullback is a hard block er and a sure tackier. Elon has a heavy, hard charg ing line which averages 195 pounds, the lightest man being center Wayne Martin, who weighs only 175 pounds. King-pins in the line are guards Glen Varney and Chuck Maynard, and tackles Pat Cafasso and J. B. Vaughn. Other starting linemen for Elon will be ends Eddie Bridges and Tony Car- caterra. Featured in Newberry’s well balanced attack will be quarter back Steve Peterson, a passing^ ace from Florida, halfbacks Tyler Dufford and Paul Davis, and Coach Kirkland’s newly discovered talent at fullback, Ray Waters. Davis has regained his running strength of the ’55 season as the slender halfback gained as much yardage against Guilford as he had for the first part of the sea son. Injuries have handicapped Davis, but now it looks as if he might come up to his standing in the State last year. The Indians are aware of the fact that they do not have an easy team for the Homecoming contest. Elon has a 19-6 score to even with the Redskins, and they are expected to try every trick in the book to avenge that score of last year. Coach Kirkland is therefore working hard to have his team in top condition for the game. Six seniors will take bows in the Homecoming contest. They are Paul Davis, Tyler Dufford, Olin McCurry, Ralph Voyles, Steve Robertson, and James P. Phillips. J SB WOOD HjjYOtiR LIFE With hunters, the game is the thing. • And there is game — when forests are protected from fire and timber is harvested wisely. Tree farming — the growing of continuing crops of wood provides more food and shelter for wildlife. That means good hunting. Whether you go gunning for birds or "pack in" for big game, be a safe sportsman — be careful with fire. Timber and wildlife are twin crops. h' - •••> y m OF AMERICA % r / / The Champion Paper & Fibre Company ■i ■ \ m >k-S* C v 'f' Wm
