PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1959 Spending Consequences Fiscal problems are plaguing <mr governments in this country all levels—federal, * state, and local. Government spending at all three levels, especially on the part of the federal government, has aaored to astronomical heights. Taxes are already unbearable to many, and they tend to stifle pri vate initiative. We are plunging further and further into debt. At the same time, the evil of infla tion, which is no respecter of pock- ctbooks, is robbing our purchas ing power day by day. The root of these fiscal problems stems di rectly from the popular political gimmick of trying to “give che people something for nothing.” What too many have not realized folly in the past is that the gov ernment—whether it be federal, state, or local—can give nothing but that which it first takes from the people. Thank goodness, how ever, the vast majority of the peo ple are no longer being deluded by this political trick, which many prefer to call “liberalism” but in actuality is no less than social- jsm. I have prepared the follow ing figures which tell a very shocking story which should be of concern to every American. Spending Increase By Billions 1938 1958 % Inc. Totals _ $16.4 $131.0 699 Tax Take in Billions 1938 1958 Inc. Federal _$ 5.9 $ 76.8 1202 State _ 3.8 16.4 332 Local _ 4.5 15.0 240 Totals _ $14.2 $108.8 666 Deficits in Billions 1938 1958 % Inc. Federal _$37.2 $276.3 643 State 3.3 14.7 345 Local - - 16.1 41.5 157 Totals $56.6 $332.5 488 Matter of Patriotism Sensible government spending may be considered old fashioned by some, just as it now appears that patriotism is about to be thrown by the wayside. We spent two days in the Senate last week debating a proposal which did not even merit consideration by the Senate. Under the National De fense Education Act passed last year, persons who accept grants or loans under the program must first execute an oath of allegiance to the United States and swear that they do not belong to a com munist organization. The Senate Labor Committee reported to the Senate floor a bill to repeal the allegiance and affidavit require ments. Federal $ 7.2 $ 84.0 1066 State 3.9 22.0 464 Local 5.3 25.0 372 I can see no reason why anyone should object to pledging his loy alty to his country if he wishes to share in special benefits offered by the government or to serve in a position of trust or responsibili ty in the government. In fact, every person employed by the government must now execute a similar oath of office. Every member of my office staff has done so. I am glad to report that the Senate, after several close votes, finally voted 49-42 to re commit the bill to the Labor Com mittee for—I hope—posterity. Soviets Applaud Strauss Defeat A news dispatch from Moscow last week quoted Soviet Deputy Premier Mikoyan as being very joyful over the Senate’s recent re jection of Commerce Secretary Lewis Strauss. He said the Secre tary had prevented 12,000 tons of steel pipe from being exported to Russia, adding: “Pm not usually in agreement with the (U. S.) Se nate, but we were pleased when the Senate disapproved his nomi nation.” Mr. Mikoyan’s comments confirm my opinion that the Sen ate did a great injustice to a com petent and loyal American. Fairview Has Homecoming The Eighth Annual Homecoming Day celebration of the founding of Fairview Center will be held Sunday, August 2nd at the Cen ter, Ridgeway. Since the opening of the center August 1, 1951 more than 2,000 resident white male patients have been treated and more than 1,000 additional alcoholics have receiv ed counselling from the staff at Fairview.

ELEAZER As a kid I took an excursion to Charleston to see the ocean. I left Columbia Saturday night late and got back about mid night Sunday for $1.50, including the ferry and trolly ride to Isle of Palms. That was a pretty big expendi ture then. But my folks let me go when I was about 12. I was sorry all of the travel was at night, be cause I couldn’t see anything much along the way. I wanted to be hanging out of the window, watching those drivers roll, and waving at the folks we passed. Having nothing to do, I fell a- sleep. I awoke as we were rumb ling over some crossings, as we were entering Charleston. I start ed eating the breakfast I had tak en and finished on the ferry after a hack ride through town. Most of their married life has been spent in Newberry. They have nine children. They are Mrs. Mattie B. Dorsett, Ma con, Georgia; Mrs. Hilliard J. Mitchell, Joanna; Mrs. Katherine J.

Lathan return ed to her home on Main St. last week after several weeks visit with her daughter, Mrs. T. L. Bridges in Rock Hill. She was re cuperating from an eye operation she underwent in Charlotte, N. C. on June 19. She is reported to be getting along nicely. RITZ Theatre THURSDAY Rock Hudson, Jean Simmons, Dorothy McGuire This Earth Is Mine FRIDAY & SATURDAY DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAM Zsa Zsa Gabor, Eric Fleming, Lisa Davis The ferry ride was a thrill, as I was that something" like 10 milk | trolly car ride to the Island. When we got there, and walked through the old pavilion, I first beheld the ocean! That was the most overpowering thing I’ve ever seen. The ocean! The first wonder of the world! I was scared a bit at first and wouldn’t go very near that rest less thing. But, seeing others lunge right in, I ventured up closer and let the breakers smoothe out there on the sand and run over my feet. It. felt good and soon I felt at ease. Then I got a bathing suit and joined the others. What a day I had! Although my complex ion is dark and I don’t sunburn easily, I did burn a bit on the shoulders and they felt strangely hot on the way back that night. We stayed until the last car and ferry left to catch our train. It was full moon and the sun set be hind some low clouds in the west. The moon came up, laying its glittering road of fire across the sea. That was the mosti, beautiful sight I had ever seen. And I re member sitting on that side of the street car, as we were leaving that enchanted spot, so I could get one final longing, look at that spectacle of a clear full moon coming up out of the sea. And to this day, I don’t know of a scene on earth to beat that. Observe 50th Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Coyd Hilliard Jackson of Newberry celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday, July 4.
