COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR National Bible Week comes every year. “The Bible,” is “The Book.” It is found everywhere, even if not always read, but dusted off just for the visit of theminister. Whether it be the Bible of our Catholic brethren or the Saint James ver sion—the same revelations of God is found in all its simpli city and appeaL We associate The Bible with our mothers, those saintly characters who must nearly approach the Master in every day life. During several centuries The Bible has been found in most homes, a constant source of inspiration, telling of our God, a very present help in time of trouble. One may study The Bible in critical fashion; or he may wish to be informed; but the fervent believer reads it to bring himself into close communion with the Most High. “Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all genera tions. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from ever lasting to everlasting, thou art God.” We hear that frequently at funerals, but the message is to us, not to the departed. What ineffable joy and comfort and sustaining grace flow from that Psalm, usually attribut ed to Moses. And then the sweet words of David: “-The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want . . . Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me . . .” If we turn to Job, in all his affliction we read: “The Lord Gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” Those sturdy figures were men of faith; they had not seen God, though Moses was with Him in the cloud on Sinai. We have words of Jesus, the Son of God, the second per son in the Trinity, words spoken to men while He was living and going about on the earth: “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. In my Father’s house are many mansions; ... I go to prepare a place for you, . . . that where I am there you may be also.” I am the way, the truth and the life.” “He that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” If we tried to formulate a prayer, two prayers from the old Testament seem to embrace everything, for God is not moved by long-winded exhortations and vain repetitions. This, my favorite, from Nehemiah: Prosper, I pray thee, thy servant, this day.” And another—“Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, 0 Lord, my strength andi my Redeemer.” “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” ^ ~ * I trust I do not weary you by my frequent references to Socialism, but this great Nation was developed by individ- ^als, not by Government bureaucrats, whether sometimes capable or often rather unpractical men chasing unsound theories. ' 1 J? T V The tendency to look to Washington, or to go to Washing ton, or to appeal to Washington has so enfeebled us that TVe become supine while waiting for the Government to do something for us. As I cited last week, the Socialist Party in 1923 had a program for taking over of our mines, rail roads and power utilities. Along came Mr. Roosevelt with great enthusiasm and like the people spoken of in the Bible, looking for some thing new, and he was persuaded to swallow hook, line and sinker many of the schemes of the Socialists, especially the plan to control electric power as the surest way to con trol all industry. Do you recall the song of Moses and the children of Is rael following the deliverance from the Egyptians? “The Lord is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation: He is my God, and I will prepare Him an habita tion; my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.” What treasury of faith we find in The Book. The mutual promise is set forth in one of the sweetest hymns I know, both music and words: “0 Jesus, thou hast promised To All who follow thee, That where thou are in glory There shall thy servant be; And Jesus, I have promised To serve thee to the end; 0 give me grace to follow, My master and my friend.” “1937—The Socialist Dream Begins To Take Concrete Form.

Our Dreams Come True Our Plan for a Public Superpower System for the United States Outlined and Published in 1923 Slowly but Surely Being Realized Pioneers of Public Power ‘Step by step this plan which the Public Ownership League presented and published fifteen years ago is being surely and steadily realized.’ ‘The Tennesssee Valley has become an outstanding reality and its achievements steadily mounting. Boulder Dam has been finished . . . The Bonneville power system on the lower Columbia River - is nearing completion . . . Grand Coulee is under construction and well on the way. Exactly the goal which the League set up fifteen years ago ... ‘Pursuant to this plan . . .they propose to divide the nation into seven districts as indicated by the map: (1) the Tennessee Valley in the Southeast; (2) the Atlantic Sea board to the East; (3) The Great Lakes and Ohio Valley in the Central North; (4) the Arkansas Valley in the Cen tral South; (5) The Missouri Valley in the Middle West and North; (6) The Columbia River Valley in the Northwest; and (7) The Colorado Valley with Boulder Dam in the Southwest.’ ‘Members of the Public Ownership League and its friends throughout the country may justly take courage and inspir ation from the progress SO FAR made.’ The efforts, to seize control of the nation’s electrical industry is no longer masked with the pretense of providing ‘cheap power’ through hydro-electric development. The final step in turning the Socialist dream into reality is that of in terconnecting federally-owned generating stations into a nationwide politically-controlled transmission network that will extend the sphere of subsidized government completion into every area of the nation. There are existing and proposed government-financed transmission lines. They are built mainly by super-coop eratives and financed by funds authorized by Congress for local REA Cooperatives. Using tax money to attack free en terprise, they duplicate existing transmission lines of the business-managed power companies. The Secretary of the Interior—Oscar Chapman—boldly declared that the government ‘is moving ahead at a record rate in setting up facilities for the trunk line transmission of power from plants now operating and under construction.’ The questions squarely before the American people are: Do they realize how fast they are being led into socialism of their basic industry? Do they endorse these efforts to create a federal power bureaucracy whose objective would be to duplicate and compete with the second largest taxpay ing industry of the Nation? Already more than one-third of the nation has been plac ed under federal power administrators who have practically arbitrary powers over the marketing of politically-generated power in great regions of the country. Two of these regional oower dictatorships, SWPA and SEP A, (responsible neither’ to state nor local governing bodies) were created by order of the Department of the Interior when Congress refused to endorse more Power Authorities such as TV A and Bonne ville . . Is this disregard of the will of the representatives of the people in accordance with American tradition? The attack against free enterprise in the power business is not based on the shortcomings or failure of business-man- iged companies to provide the public with adequate service at fair rates. It is deeply rooted in the philosophy of those who seek a nationalized, politically-controlled monopoly of .he country’s economy in place of the free choice, competi- ive system that has made America great. The electric power industry, although first on the list to be nationalized, has more than made its contribution to the public interest and the common welfare of the nation.” Do you want the Socialists in Washington to boss every thing?

We’ £ WHITAKER FUNERAL HOMh THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1967 FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Ciemson Extension Information Fpoolslist COLLETON PLANTING PINES County Agent Alford of Colle ton tells me farmers in that coun ty have ordered enough pine seed lings to set 4,578 acres this winter. That's 4 percent of the open crop land in the county, and as many pines as they have set out in the past 5 years, he tells me. Interest in trees is sure grow ing. And rightly so. For these are tree lands. They were in trees be fore we came here and cut ’em down. Now we are putting ’em back to their original use. Once trees were worth little. But now they represent growing values that rival average incomes from crops. And about all you have to do to get that is keep fire out of 'en^ and cut ’em sen sibly. Rogers of Allendale tells me of similar heavy bcokings of trees by farmers there. And the same holds in many others too. WATER! I spent some time with a lead ing irrigation engineer out West. He told me, “Water’s the darndest thing.” And he then told me of tho endless problems with it. It has its own laws of behavior. We study them, work with it, and try to make it serve its many life-giv ing purposes. Water is at home only in the sea. And it’s always trying to get back there. You dam it up for fu ture use when intermittent rains bring it to the land. If it can find a way out, it will. Just let it find the tiniest soft spot and it will work on it constantly. Soon there will be a trickle through. It gets bigger. And soon the dam is. un dermined and washes away, letting the impounded waters race back to the sea. Once this strong-minded stuff we call water didn’t bother us much. Enough of it soaked in our vast wooded areas to keep streams aflow and satisfy our needs for underground water. But with the cutting of the forests* drainage, and clearing of the swamps, it has been hurrying back to the sea, un impeded. So in our time we have lived to see water, good fresh and usable water, become growingly scarce. And now we are making our first moves to conserve it and get it back into the ground. Reforestation, sodding, contour farming, ponds and reservoirs and the like are all a part of this.-Once farm ponds were scarce. Now you see ’em at every turn. In fact, >n many communities the majority of farms have them. They are for va ried purposes of recreation (swim ming and fishing), stock-water, and irrigation. But the latter are the main two. COB PIPES I had wondered where the corn cob pipes came from. On a trip last summer I found out, Wash ington, Missouri. Several large factories there make ’em, as they have for many years. Folks must still use a lot of ’em, for they were still turning ’em out, A HOLIDAY TRIP- WILD GEESE I can think of no more interest ing trip at this- season, or for Thanksgiving or Christmas, than to the Gaddy farm at Ansonville, N. C. For there you will see" one of the strangest sights in the world. Wild gees?. Not by the tens nor hundreds, but by the thous ands! Yes, and about as tame as barnyard geese too. You throw corn to them and they cover acres out there from you. And some of ’em will even come and eat com out o£ you hands! They come on full moon in Octof her and leave when it is full m March. The government used to help feed them. But that Was cut off some years, ago. So now she has to charge a small admission to help buy the 30 to 40 bushels of com they have to be fed each day to keep that many in one area. They feed out from there, for geese have to have green feed too. With the com she feeds, some fifteen thousand find a pleasant winter there as Mrs. Gaddy’s guests. Ansonville is just above Wades- boro. And Wadesboro is just across the line from out Lancaster and Chesterfield.
