SUBSCRIPTION RATES: $2.00 per year in ad vance; six months, $1.25. Straight Talk (By Tom Anderson) Someone has said that free dom is like a handful of sand. The second you relax any of your fingers, it starts slipping away from you. We’ve relaxed our grip on freedom for a hand out—for “security.” The only peo ple who have security are the in mates of institutions: three hots a day and a place to flop. The government can’t give you se curity without making you an inmate. And if you are an inmate of the Welfare State you still haven’t really got security be cause the state itself will surely decay and be destroyed. They always have. Our misnamed “li beral leaders” have carried out virtually every point in Norman Thomas’ Socialist platform and stolen his party. As Norman Thomas has said, “The U. S. is making greater strides toward Socialism under Eisenhower than even under Roosevelt, particularly in the field of federal spending and welfare legislation. Political Robin Hoods The Welfare State is a politi cal organization which confis cates private property from the productive to give to the unpro ductive. It’s a system wherein an army of political and bureau cratic Robin Hoods are at liberty to pursue their happiness by stealing from rich and poor to redistribute, after taking care of themselves, according to the pre valent political formula: Give a little something to everybody and get everybody’s vote; from each according to his ability to pay, to each according to the need for him at the ballot box. One of the nation’s leading wel- farers is Earl Warren, socialistic potentate of the Supreme Court, who gets $16,000 yearly pension from the state of California and $33,500 for his lawmaking activi ties on the Supreme Court. This $49,500 lifetime pension is paid by taxpayers, as Westbrook Peg- ler poignantly points out, while a work-worn pauper drawing an old age pension in the Social Secur ity system forfeits his pittance if he earns mpi'e than $100 a month. To “maintain the dignity of man” millions of welfare dollars, are paid to anyone who holds his tin cup out, including the syste matic shiploads of Puerto Ricans pouring into the land-of-cpportun- ity-and-free-handouts. This womb-to-tomb welfare fur nishes drug's and doctors from de livery to death, from incubator to undertaker. One chronically gold- bricking unemployed hypochon driac is reported to have demanded this inscription for his tombstone “See? I told you I was sick!” In socialistic Soapy Williams’s Michigan, welfare spending has zoomed to a cost of $61 per year for every man, woman and child in the state. Formerly rich, broke Michigan is now a “depressed area.” Formerly rich, philanthro- pist-with-other - people’s - money Williams is still rich, but depress ed. The “three million unemployed” figure is misleading. There are only about one million families in which nobody has a job. And many of them could get work if they didn’t prefer welfare to a job where the work or the pay is “beneath” them. Welfare is no longer a stigma but a “right”. Strikers, retired well-to-do, and deadbeats in Cadillacs are getting public assistance, formerly called relief. No more “pauper’s oaths” are required to get public assistance. Surveys show that most old cou ples on relief rolls own real es tate. Budgets set up for public re lief families often include allow ance for entertainment, church, and insurance. That is the new “American way of life.” Why not put a mortgage on the property of all welfare recipients for the amount of assistance re- people? ceived ? Why should the govern ment pay for the upkeep of needy parents whose adult children shirk their responsibilities and then in herit their parents’ property? Why not make it mandantory that the amount of all government checks paid to anybody for any reason be a matter of public record? General Eisenhower, our presi dent, has strongly opposed each state handling its own welfare. He says that if California, for in stance, offers more welfare “we would have migrations in this country with dislocation^ in our industry . . . merely because in one state people would say we can get better help when misfor tune, old age, or something of the kind strikes . . .” After the equal- ization-of-the-states policy has de stroyed all competition between states, perhaps we can have a “metro plan” for states, wiping out state lines and uniting all states into a glorious all-powerful non-competitive central state, like our ally, Russia. The ‘President is wrong. It is not up to government—and least of all the Federal Government. It’s up to the people to take care of their own, on the local level and according to their own free will. The answer to the welfare prob lem is the same as the answer to the farm problem: Get the Feder al Government out. Return to the states, local governments, and to individuals their rights and re sponsibilities to take care of their own. Charity, formerly a virtue, is now virtually a government mon opoly. Public assistance, formerly known as charity, is now the big gest non-defense expenditure of government. Public charity cost the taxpayer $4.3 billion last year to “help” nearly 7 million people. Seven million, aged, disabled, un employed, union members on strike, widows, illegitimates, alco holics, prostitutes, concubines, gamblers, bums, and beatniks. They Milk Us for Millions This doesn’t include the count less other welfare subsidies which milk us for millions: Veterans benefits, low-rent housing, urban renewals, aid to depressed areas, social security, unemployment in surance, federal pensions, etc. The beaver’s teeth grow through out his life. He must keep gnaw ing or his teeth will get so long they will hold his mouth open and he can’t eat! (That, I guess, ex plains the term, “Eager Beaver!”) Nature, has thus decreed that each animal work or starve. May be that’s the reason beavers are able to follow successfully a sort of communal life in which every animal works industriously and every animal shares alike in the food which is stored. Beavers don’t have to work to support their lazy brothers. Why should Strom DEED TRANSFERS Let’s Show Khruschev The forthcoming visit to this country of Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev and the return visit to Russia by President Eisenhow er could have profound and salu* tary effect on world peace and the cold war if our government makes the most of our opportuni ties which these visits afford. I make this statement as one who has time and again warned against the danger of the Com munist Goal—that of communiz- ing and enslaving all the people of the world under the rule of the Kremlin leaders. Recently, I urg ed that the President proceed cautiously in giving consideration to a summit meeting with Khrus chev. I did so because of this country’s and the free world’s sad experiences as a result of many of the World War II and postwar conferences, such as Hiose held at Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam. In the past 25 years, the United States has had 3,400 meetings with the Communists. The nego tiators at these conferences spoke 106 million words and executed 52 major agreements. Of these 52 agreements, the Communists have broken 50 of them. These agree ments have been broken in accord ance with Lenin’s teaching that “promises are like pie-crusts— made to be broken.” In having Khruschev visit our country, however, our leaders are not called upon to engage in a summit meeting or to make any agreements. What they can and should do is to educate the Master of the Kremlin as to our unity, our strength, and our steadfast deter mination to peacefully pursue our own way of life in America with out outside interference or dicta torship from anyone or any for eign power. I am glad that De fense Secretary McElroy has of fered to conduct the Premier on a tour of defense installations. We should not reveal any secrets to him, but we can demonstrate to him our strong defensive and de terrent capabilities. In sitting as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I am becom- ing more convinced every day that the gravest danger we face from the Soviets, so far as armed at tack is concerned, is a miscalcu lation by the cocky Communist leaders who boast of superior rockets and missiles. If he were sufficiently acquainted with our love of freedom, our unity, our de termination, and our huge arsenal of mixed deterrent weapons, I feel that the Premier might return to Moscow a wiser and more cautious man, without any agreements to break. A Job To Do President Eisenhower will have an opportunity to clarify our po sition with the Russian people by countering the Kremlin propagan da that our people are warmong ers. Vice President Nixon did a good job of enlightening the Rus sian people through the facilities and opportunities made available to him on his recent visit to Rus sia. I have little fear that the So viet Premier will be able to make any headway in changing the thinking of the American people on his United States tour. Our people like the American way of life. They have tasted of socialism and regimentation, and are begin ning to show their rejection of any system which restricts or compro mises freedom. Our foreign relations experts must do their utmost to convince the peoples of the captive nations that our sole purpose of having Khruschev as our guest is toedu- cate him and not to deal with him at the expense of anyone. To some the exchange of visits may seem to be a calculated risk. The visits probably are a calculat ed risk, but we must never at tempt to hide our heads in the sand like an ostrich when we have a job to do. Our job today is to win the peace, and to‘accomplish this essential end we must con vince the Kremlin leadership and the unconvinced Russian people that it is not in their best interest to continue pursuing their Com munist goal of world communiza tion and domination. Sincerely, Strom Thurmond. .yOOCiSoOiS-- ■V) • JU. / 4* \ [ Q : J:zr ; PROSPERITY NEWS The Azalea Garden Club met Wednesday evening, August 5th with Mrs. Robert Bowers.

One of the 7 big bests Chevrolet gives you over any other car in Its field Anyone who’s ever taken a Chevy over a choppy country road can tell you how lightly Chevrolet’s Full Coil suspension handles rough going — and coil springs never squeak, never need grease! Try this velvet way of going for your self. Once you do, you’ll find your own way of saying what MOTOR TREND magazine puts this way: “. . . the smoothest, most quiet, softest riding car in its price class.” But the happiest part of it all is that this Full Coil ride is just one of seven big bests—all documented by published opinions of experts and on-the-record facts and figures. BEST ROOM—Official dimen sions reported to A.M.A.* show that Chevrolet sedans offer more front seat head room than all but one of the high-priced cars—more front seat hip room (by up to 5.9 inches) than the “other two” of the leading low-priced three. BEST ENGINE—Chevrolet en gines have long won expert praise from virtual y every automobile magazine, and, just recently, Chev rolet received the NASCARt Out standing Achievement award for “the creation and continuing de velopment of America’s most effi cient V-type engines.” BEST ECONOMY-A pair of Chevrolet sixes with Powerglide won their class in this year’s Mobil- gas Economy Run, topping every other full-sized car. And the win ning mileage was a whopping 22.38 m.p.g. BEST BRAKES—Chevy’s bonded- lining brakes are the biggest in their field, built for up to 66% longer life. In a direct competition conducted by NASCAR, Chevy out- stopped both of the other leading low-priced cars in a test of re peated stops from highway speeds. BEST STYLE—It’s the only car of the leading low-priced 3 that’s unmistakably modern in every line. “In its price class,” says POPU LAR SCIENCE magazine, “a new high in daring styling.” BEST TRADE-IN — Any N.A.D.A.f Guide Book can give you the figures on Chevy's extra value. You’ll find that Chevrolet used car prices last year averaged up to $128 higher than comparable models of the “other two.” Your Chevrolet dealer will be happy to tell you about a whole host of other advantages besides these seven.
