Many changes have been made for the convenience of customers, according to Mrs. E. A. Carpenter. Straight Talk (By TOM ANDERSON in Farm and Ranch Magazine) Russia may beat us to the moon with a Sputnik, but I bet we’ll get there first with Foreign Aid. When I wrote that how could I know that just a little more ihan a year later we w’ould find Lunik ticking around not the moon but the sun? In line with our editorial policy, here’s the latest informa tion on the sun. It belongs to the U.N. of the earth and nine other planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Russia’s Lun ik. The moon is the only satellite which revolves around the earth. Just imagine the sun as a fish bowl. You could put 1,300,000 earths inside it. Yet millions of suns are larger and brighter than our sun. The sun is a very hot ball of gas which supplies more heat than light. Like Senator Humph rey. Scientists think that hydrogen is transformed into helium in the sun's interior, releasing atomic energy in the process. The sun is in the Milky Way milkshed. This is a co-op contain ing our universe and is just one of limitless millions of so-called gal axies which continue forever. Like Mrs. Roosevelt. The sun’s light crosses the 93,- 000,000 miles to the earth in 8 1-3 minutes. In other words, if the sun’s light could be switched off, after 8 1-3 minutes we’d be in darkness (like the Russian peo ple). The twinkle twinkle from the nearest star takes four years to get to us. Many primitive peoples have regarded the sun as a god. How appropriate that the godless Russians have now paid homage to deity. Stay Strong, Stay Solvent, Stay Free Surely if we can learn to think in terms of this kind of arithme tic we’ll realize that our $80 bil lion budget is really nothing. Lit tle things like bankruptcy and dic tatorship are insignificant in the cosmic scheme, according to some of our outstanding eggheads. The orderly system of the uni- verse, from the smallest particles of matter to the largest star sys tems, is composed of the same ba sic elements and governed by the same laws. The Supreme Being like the Supreme Court, has made the laws to which the atoms conform, with all deliberate speed. An atom, however, never has to ask, “what’s the law today?” It has been suggested that the moon now be invited to join the U.N. If it does, reckon we could move the U. N. headquarters there? Isn’t that silly? Nobody except Americans would house, promote, pay for, and obey a god less debating socjety working to destroy the way of life of the host nation. In this battle to win the minds of outer-spacemen America will need some*choice plums with which to bolster their willingness to re ceive our aid. As a token of our friendship for the moonmen, couldn’t we give ’em Puerto Rico? Truman, Marshall, Acheson. Walter Lippman, Drew Pearson, Adlai Stevenson, Rockefeller, Reu- ther, Mrs. Roosevelt, Sens. Hum phrey, Morse, Kefauver, Syming ton, Kennedy, Lehmen and our other great one-worlders, Social ists, and do-gooders are now fran tically trying to awaken the peo ple to the communist menace. What is more natural than that they should lead us back from the precipice—they led us to it. They and their kind deliberately got us into the wrong war at the wrong time with the wrong enemy. The Russian monster is their franken- stein. Their answer as always is unlimited spending—prosperity at any price. And now that they’ve discovered Communism is the ene my, the war slogan of many “lib erals,” has strangely become peace at any price. Times change. Prin ciples don’t. Almost 200 years ago, when our nation was being taxed and persecuted beyond endurance and some other faint-hearted Am ericans were crying peace at any price, a Virginia patriot named Patrick Henry arose and said: “They tell us, Sir, that we are weak—unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are to tally disarmed (bankrupt from trying to buy friends), and when a British guard (communist agent) shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irre solution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual re sistance by lying sup'nely on our backs and hugging the elusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. “Three (175) millions of peo ple, armed in the holy cause of lib erty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, Sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who shall raise up friends (not bought, fairweather friends) to fight our battles for us. The battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, Sir, we have not election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!. Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston (Berlin, Iraq, Quemoy). The war is inevitable; and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let it come! “It is in vain, Sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace!—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps frohi the North (Alaska) will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle ? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Al mighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Freedom: Worth Having? Worth Fighting For Pres. Theodore Roosevelt said, “The things that will destroy Am erica are prosperity-at-any-price; Safety-first instead of duty-first; the love of soft living and the get- rich-quick theory of life.” The principles so brilliantly stated by Patrick Henry and Ted- We ’re J\eady JVow Painting and remodeling is finished on the second floor — new clothes arriving daily — so those of you that wish to choose yours early, we say Come in Soon. Carpenters Newberry, S. C. THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1959 Easter Seal Funds Provide Treatment, Care Help Children Agents Urge Parents To South Carolinians, through Eas ter Seal contributions, made pos sible care and treatment for al most. 11,000 crippled children and adults during 1958. A new record total of 10,929 persons, including 10,056 children and 873 adults, were served in pro grams and facilities operated by Easter Seal Societies state-wide or in co-sponsored projects, accord ing to a year-end report just is sued to A. L. M. Wiggins, Harts- ville, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Jeff B. Bates, State President, by Mrs. T. Jackson Lowe, Executive Director. Mrs. Emmett Nichols serves as chair man of the Newberry County Chapter. The broad scope of services pro vided by County Chapters and State Headquarters includes care and treatment for those with orth opedic disorders, cerebral palsy, arthritis, polio, muscular dystro phy and multiple sclerosis. In co-sponsored projects, an im pressive share of the case load was in preventive programs sudh as speech and hearing testing, group therapy and parent educa tion. These are programs mainly for large groups within a given community and were administered under a coordinated plan for locat ing and preventing handicapping conditions. Three of the National Easter Seal Research grants have been made to the Medical College of South Carolina totalling $22,739 for a study which is being carried on by Isabel Lockard, Ph.D., prin cipal investigator. Citing the Easter Seal Family Camp held for the first time in South Carolina last summer, Mrs. Lowe said that severely crippled boys and girls experienced for the first time the joy of “going to camp” while parents learned ways of helping their teen-agers build physical health, develop independ ence from the family unit and ex perience meeting and knowing oth er boys and girls on an equal basis. Easter Seal Funds provided special training to 247 teachers, therapists, nurses, and other pro fessional persons through semi nars, workshops, scholarships and fellowships. Dangerous shortages of trained workers in the rehabilitation field continue to be the single greatest obstacle to the further progress and expansion of Easter Seal serv ices. According to a financial state ment compiled by A. C. Clarkson Company, Certified Public Ac countants, Easter Seal Funds have gone a long way to useful ness in South Carolina during the past year. Care and treatment services have totalled $129,059 or 67.4 per cent; program services nationwide, $15,675 or 8.3 per cent. Services to County Chapters, including organization and reor ganization, $11,660 or 5.9 per cent. Research $3,866 or 2 per cent. Ad ministration costs, bookkeeping and financial management, $19,- 258 or 9.8 per cent, with actual campaign costs $13,042 or 6.6 per cent. Because of this voluntary join ing of hands with neighbors in a common purpose, the Easter Seal Society in South Carolina has ex panded every year in the scope of its usefulness to all the handicap ped. Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Mills have moved to 2314 Rosalyn Drive in the house they recently bought from the Bill Merritts. Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Fesperman have moved to 1232 McMorris St. in an apartment in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Paul H. Heisey. (By COUNTY AGENTS) Parents Responsibilities Who is responsible for the atti tudes or feelings your child has about school, about organizations within and without school, about life and religion ? This is orte responsibility that begins and remain at home. You, the parents, are responsible for the growth and development of your children. Growth and development includes physical as well as mental development. The first experiences a child goes through are at the home. Basic ideas, attitudes, outlook on life, and habits begin at the home. We cannot depend on the School, Church, or other organizations to do the entire job for us. We are challenging you parents to know what your children are doing with their leisure time. Stop guessing that they are getting along all right. Stop fooling your selves that they can take care of themselves without your help. Parents job is to guide and help their children aim for goals in life that will be a benefit to all, instead of costing the public for their mistakes in Juvenile Courts and detention wards. We, from the County Extension Office, would challenge you par ents with boys and girls enrolled in 4-H Club work in Newberry County, to know more about the 4-H Club program. We have some boys and girls, each year, who do not sucessfully complete a project they undertook in 4-H work. Each member must complete, successful ly, at least one project each year to remain enrolled in 4-H Club Work. It is poor principle for boys and girls to form, that of under taking a task and not completing the task. We feel the task under taken should be completed, regard less of how hard or easy it may be. Other organizations and schools are finding this same lack of responsibility by some young boys and girls.

We will be happy. to visit any one interested in 4-H Club work to explain the program to you and your children. W r e will also explain to you parents the part you may play as local leaders in 4-H Club work. The 4-H Club program offers many different type projects for boys and girls, whether they live on a farm or in the city. Contact us today for details. Community Development Community Development Pro gram is a program through which people of a community may work together to accomplish the desires and goals of the people of that community. When people form an organiza tion and meet together to get something done, it is a known fact that much more is accom plished together than when an in dividual works alone. The Community Development Program is not new. It has been successful in other states as well as South Carolina. We feel there are communities here in Newber ry County that could benefit from such an organization. The Extension Service is ready to help you in getting the organi zation started in your community. This organization is not handled by the Extension Service, but by the people of the community. We are willing to advise and assist in organizing and when called upon. The program has accomplished much in other communities throughout the State. Such things as improved roads, more tele phones, recreational equipment for children of the community, im proved home and church grounds, and getting to know your neighbor are just a few of the things ac complished. The organizations usually hold a monthly meeting designed to be of interest to all ages. If you are interested and feel such an organization could help your community, let us know and we will assist you with details of how to get your community or ganization going.
