PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1967 STRAIGHT TALK , , . (Continued from page 3) tary should be forced to stop spending money like it was going out of style. Most bureaucrats are “empire builders”—the bigger their budget and the more people they hayo working for them, the more im portant they are- Bureaus spread like cancer, but they never die. They just change their names. The Wages of Peace In 1954, when the Korean War was on, Selective Service employed 7,010 people, spent $27,- 657,190 and drafted 360,000 men. Ne*t yeax#. Selective. Service wants 7,3o6 employees, wants $30,400,000 , but plans to draft only 175,000. To wage peace, the cost per draftee is twice as high. Why? Maybe your congressman can tell you. Defense can’t be cut? The Hoov er Commission says we can save at least $600 million a year by creating a civilian-managed Sup ply and Services Administration in the Defense Department. Dup lication, jealousies and poor man agement have thrown billions doWn rat-holes in the holy name of defense. In the greatest “prosperity” in the history of the world, from 1953 through 1957, we spent $13, 200,000,000 for Labor and Wel- are programs! 17.5 million Am ericans get 14 billion dollars of assorted “ welfare,” and year by year Social Security is being broadened to make this total ever bigger. „ $71.8 billion! If you had started at Christ’s birth spending $100,- 000 a day, you’d still have over $6 billion left. This is the largest peacetime budget in the history of the world—1,000 percent more than it was in 1937. It’ll cost the average American family $1,400 If you’re making $10,000 and have a wife and two children you pay 20 cents out of every dollar for federal, state and local taxes. Eighty-five percent of the tax load is carried by the man who makes $6,000 a year or less. Our federal debt, $274 billion, is larger than that of all the na tions of the world put together. Senator Byrd says the govern ment is also committed to $260 billion more in various borrowing programs which it stands behind. Share and Share Alike Your family’s share of the pres ent $274 billion federal debt is $7,000. It was $1,100 in 1937. Who’s gonna pay it? You? Your children? Their children? Let’s all do our patriotic duty and our duty to our children by writing our con^ gressmen. The price of our dollar is going down, down, down, and our gov ernment will, too, unless the peo ple rebel and throw the Spenders out. Trying to get your arms around today’s federal bureau cracy is like trying to hug a cloud. One Small Voice Spending is out of hand, beyond the willingness or the ability of the President and the Congress to control it. It’s up to you. What can one small voice do?

For your con gratulations, your kind words and deeds, your good wishes, your thoughtfulness and many other beautiful floral tributes, I am deeply grateful. I cannot permit this milestone in my life to pass without express ing to you that it is and was my pleasure and privilege to be a member of this fine community. While it is true when I first came here fifty years ago, it appeared to me that I could hardly afford to cast my life’s lot in Newberry, but the longer I stayed, the num erous friends I made, the more I learned of the people over the years, I found Newberry the ideal place for me. And now after these many, many years I am most thankful for the hand that guided me and bid me to stay here, for the longer I remained the better I liked it and Newberry became an inspiration and home to me. And today, being convinced as never before that I selected wise ly and well, I feel very humble and. unworthy of your tribute. I want to express to one and all my most sincere and heartfelt thanks Mrs. Coke Curry of Chester and Mrs. James Cecil Scott of Green wood; two sons, George L. Counts of Miami and William L. Counts of Clinton; two sisters, Mrs. Jack Elmore of Pageland and Mrs. Boyce Hawkins of Prosper ity; one brother, Arthur Merch ant of Columbia and six grand children.

Formerly, G. A.’s from all churches in the association have been brought together in a ban quet for mothers and daughters. The Bush River G.

The theme was centered around the star ideals of the organization and the program topic was “Star light.” The Fellowship Hall of the church was decorated for the occasion with spring flowers and gold candles in star holders. The G. A. emblem furnished the mo tif and the G. A. colors of green, gold and white were predominant in the decorations. Miss Claire Smith, president of the Intermediate G. A.’s of Bush River Chtirch, served as toast- mistress; Patsy Ruth Senn gave a toast to the mothers and dads and Mrs. Wade Smith responded with a toast to the girls. G. A.

Sincerely and gratefully yours, Dr. E. H. Moore. May 20, 1957. Last week I told you of those pineapple ices at our country drug store in the Stone Hills the Dutch Fork on Saturda afternoons. That ice came up from Columbia on the train. The great block was in a large sack with sawdust all a- round it. Another delightful concoction they made there was a vanilla milk ice. A glass was filled with hand-shaved ice, homemade vanilla syrup added, and about two spoonsful of condensed milk added and stirred good. From childhood those things have stood out as tops in re freshment in a hot afternoon. And I often wondered if it was just an illusion of childhood. To find out, last summer I got a canvas bag and wooden manL With that I crushed some ice cubes into a veritable .snow. I put the vanilla flavored syrup I had made in, and stirred in the condensed milk. Then I reared back on the front porch and ate that slowly. It tasted about as good as ever. And soon the sweat stopped too, it was so cooling. The rest of the family joined me with it. And soon we were making the syrup by the quart. After working in the yard awhile, we all get large glasses of the “milk ice” of old and have an old-time set-to there on the porch. diction by- the Reverend J. R. Me— Kittrick.. Mrs. C. T.
