THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE FIVE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1959 Look in? j/x head n '. * <5 ' ^ .. by Dr. George S. Benson PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas A COMMUNIST SPACE MYSTERY The top news magazine in Am erica—U. S. News and World Re port—has apparently accepted as authentic the widely heralded So viet photograph of the Moon’s fcacksifie which the Reds claim was made by “Lunik III" and trans mitted to Russia by a strange and wonderful astral communication -device. President Eisenhower has congratulated Khruschev for the reported hitting of the Moon with the earlier “Lunik II”. Scientists in England and America have is sued statements accepting the So viet’s three “Lunik” reports with out question and giving the im pression that they have proof of these reported Communist achieve ments in space. Yet, in spite of all this, a few competent journalists in America believe the world may have been hoaxed by the Russian claims. M. Stanton Evans, writing in Natfbnal Review, relates how his investigation into the “Lunik” re ports turned up conflicting infor mation and highly questionable conclusions within the two major .sources in England and America which “confirmed” the “Lunik” Achievements. And, the interna tionally-known and highly respect ed science journalist, Iloyd Malian, after an extensive reporting tour through Soviet Russia, has writ ten a book which rejects as false much of the claimed Soviet supre macy in scientific achievement, in cluding the much heralded “Lu niks.” The title of Mr. Malian’s book: “Russia and the Big Red Lie.” The Question Is Important The question of whether the So viets have actually accomplished the orbiting of the Sun, the hit ting of the Moon, or the photo graphing of the Moon’s backside is an important one for the United States. The true facts of the ex tent of their scientific achieve ments in all fields are important. Their posture as a towering, migh ty military power—which has been built up by reports of great scien tific achievements—has enabled Khruschev to frighten nations in to appeasement and concessions. It could possibly bring about a fa tal weakening of the forces ar rayed against world communism. Just plain American citizens, un skilled and unequipped, in the science of space, have only one re course in seeking an answer to the question—now that it has been raised by competent observers. They can ask for the proof. That’s what journalists Stanton Evans and Lloyd Malian did. What they got in the way of “proof” didn’t satisfy them; therefore, they dis count the Soviet claims of three amazingly successful Moon shots. “Proof” Is Questionable Three tracking stations” in the free world have supplied the information which brought about widespread acceptance of the So viet ‘Lunik” announcements and claims. The most important of these is the great radio telescope at Jodrell Bank near Manchester, England. The other two are Am erica’s Fort Monmouth - tracking station in New Jersey and the Space Technological Laboratory at Los Angeles. Because he knew that Soviet leaders have histori cally used “The Big Lie” when ever it could aid their cause, Stan ton Evans went directly to these three tracking stations in search of reasonable proof to confirm the “Lunik”achievements. FARM NOTES Thanksgiving Day Opens Hunting Season Another hunting season is rap idly approaching. It brings with it the possibility of fatal and near fatal accidents because of bad gun-handling techniques. Firearms are deadly weapons, wildlife specialist list several ba sic rules hunters should follow for their own, and others’ safety. Treat every gun, even though unloaded ,as if it were a primed stick of dynamite—remember, it is so often the “unloaded” gun which kills. Never bring a loaded gun into an automobile, camp, or house. Make sure the action is open on every gun not loaded. Before load ing, check to be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions. A rag, a blob of grease, a dirt dauber’s nest or mud may cause a barrel to burst from extreme pressure. Carry your gun in such a man ner that you can control the di rection of the muzzle if you should stumble. A hunter must learn to control himself as well as the gun. Be sure of your target before you pull thethe trigger. Shooting at a movement in the brush without knowing what is there has led too many premature funerals. Never point a gun at another person— horseplay with firearms is abso lutely forbidden. Also, Jo not point a gun at animals you do not intend to shoot. Unload all un attended guns. Do not lean guns against trees, a fence, wall, or automobile. Don’t climb trees or cross fences with loaded guns. Never mix alcohol and gunpowder —no one should drink alcoholic The information he got from Jodrell Banks boils down to this: No tracking station in the free world made any contact whatever with “Lunik I” which the Soviets claimed to have launched last January. Immediately after “Lu nik II” was announced in Moscow as on its way to the Moon, the Communists telegraphed Jodrell Bank in England instructing- its staff exactly how to point its an tenna to pick up signals. Follow ing instructions, Jodrell Bank got signals but there is considerable evidence suggesting that these could have come from land-based radio beams projected from in side Russia. The same routine was followed and results obtained when the Soviets announced “Lu nik HI.” “Lunicks” Challenged The information picked up while following Soviet instruc tions together, with additional Russian information on the path of the “Luniks” w-as forwarded by Jodrell Bank to America’s space lab at Los Angeles. After process ing the data the lab was able to say only that if the Jodrell Bank information was correct and that sent from Russia was correct, then the “Luniks” did everything the Communists said they did. Fort Monmouth’s tracking station tend ed to confirm the Jodrell Bank re ports—signals were received un der conditions which led to the “assumption” that they were from the “Lunik.” However, no one at Monmouth was certain; and some were skeptical. NcFwhere, in Stan ton Evans’ opinion, was satisfac tory proof available that the So viets were telling the truth about their “Luniks.” It is a fascinating and import ant mystery. Gur government should clear it up for the Ameri can people. 'That's what! call Fast Delivery!

AMERICANA Cltie* to Soe Newark, New Jersey Newark, largest city in New Jersey (1957 population estimated 465,000), was founded in May, 1666, by 63 settlers. Originally called Pesqyak Towne, later New Milford and finally Newark, by the early part of the eighteenth century the population had risen to 500 and England’s Queen Anne granted a charter of incorporation. beverages while hunting. Check the background well be fore you fire. Never shoot at wat er or other flat surfaces. Be sure there are no persons, houses, or livestock in your field of fire. Don’t mix cartridges. Remem ber a 20 gauge shell will slip into a 12 gauge gun and a 12 gauge shell can be loaded behind it. The same can happen with a 28 gauge shell in a 20 gauge gun. Do not use a gun that is not safe. Many old guns have “loose” actions. They should be repaired by a gunsmith or hung on a.wall for decoration. Older shotguns with Damascus, laminated, or twist-steel barrels still in use are powder shells. They were made for the old black powder. Be wary of firearms brought from foreign countries after the last war. Many have paper-thin barrels that will not take modern ammunitions. Al ways store ammunition and guns so that children and other inex perienced persons may not get to them. Farmers Tax Guide The time is just about here when we will be working on our 1959 income tax return. If you have not kept a farm account record book now is the time to find those old calendar pages, envelopes or bits of paper where you set down the expenses you had for producing those crops, livestock, and poul try sold. Whether you figure your own income tax or have someone to do it for you there is available to you at no cost at the County Agent’s Office a copy of the “Farmers Tax Guide.” By studying this Guide, along with the examples given your job of filling out your income tax forms may be easier. Turkey Federation Meeting The South Carolina Turkey Fed eration will meet at noon Wednes day, December 16, at the Presby terian Recreation Hall in Clover. Alex Gordeuk, manager of the Poultry Feeds Department of Hales & Hunter Co., Chicago, will be the main speaker. Mr.. Gordeuk is the nationally known former editor of Turkey World magazine and former sales manager for Nicholas Turkey Breeding Farms, Sonoma, California. The election of officers for 1960 will also be held. This is a most important meeting, and you should certainly make every effort to be present. The day is past when a man can isolate himself and make no effort to learn more and to work with others in the industry. It is hoped that all of our turkey growers will plan to be there. Britt Service In Tarboro James Elliott Britt, 50, former manager of Newberry Mills, Inc., was found dead Wednesday after noon in his automobile in Lexing ton County. He had been in ill health, and had been missing from his home since the day before. He was born in Norfolk, Va., the son of the late James Elliott and Frank Worsley Britt. He was a member of the Episcopal Church and was a World War II veteran. Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Sara Tyler Britt; two sons, Dr. James Eliott Britt, Jr., of Louisville, Ky., and Frank C. Britt of Fountainbleu, France; Early leading citizens included Robert Treat who purchased the land from the Indians and Aaron Burr who became reverend of the Old First Church in 1737 and who was instrumental in locating in Newark the College of New Jer sey which eventually moved to Princeton to become Princeton College. Seth Boy den in 1819 pro duced the first patent leather in the United States; successfully manufactured malleable iron in 1836 and in the 1830’s built loco motives and steam machinery. Industrially, Newark today is known for diversification. It is often said that a person could live, work and play relying solely upon the products manufactured within the city and immediate environs.

Burial was in Greenwood Cemetery in Tarboro. nancial institutions are sixty-nine per cent of those of the entire state. Port facilities flank a 35- foot channel used by 776 ships representing 85 lines in 1956, with recent pier construction enabling direct transfer of cargo from ship to train. Five railroads make pos sible easy rail travel from New ark to any point in the nation. Ten minutes from the city’s center, adjacent to Port Newark, is a 2,200 acre tract housing New ark Airport, 11th ranking airfield in the nation in number of take offs and landings. The Garden State Parkway, the N. J. Turnpike, U.S. Route #1, the Pulaski Skyway and a net work of state and federal high ways make Newark a focal point of highway transportation for the east coast. 26. A fine running attack led by Halfback Bobby Pate who has ac cumulated some 630 yards rush ing, a brilliant aerial artist in quarterback Bob Waters who has completed 40 of 75 aerials for 620 yards, and a fine defensive unit are among the major factors that have added to the success of Coach Frank Jones’ Little Three Champ ions. The history making Hosemen will challenge Middle Tennessee State on New Year’s Day in their first bowl bid. Although one South Carolina team has put a run in the Hose at tack, they need only to pass New berry in order to retain possession of the Bronze Derby, the Little Three Championship, and the state’s best won-loss record.

Builder John Palmer Tari- nelli, who is doing just that in Monroe, Conn., near Bridgeport, says there are two ways: 1. Be a philanthropist and lose money on every house, or, 2. Build well-erigineered homes with quality materials that require a minimum of labor to install, then settle for a rea sonable profit per house. Tarinelli, a young dynamo who works side by side with his construction crews, Is typi cal of conscientious builders throughout the country who’ve learned that a luxury house doesn’t have to have a luxury price tag. His houses, New England’s first all-electric development, sell at $16,800 for 7-room split- level models and $14,900 for 6- room ranch styles. All have three bedrooms, built-in oven, 200 ampere service entrance, and roof of asphalt shingles in a color of the buyer's choice. Tarinelli believes color on the roof is- important because it helps give each house more of an individual appearance. The asphalt shingles also help him offer a better house for less money, since this roofing ma terial can be applied quickly and surely by a qualified roofer, saving time on the job. The most outstanding feature of the development is electric heating. This is made possible even in New England’s long, cold winters by thick mineral wool— j inches thick in the ceiling, 4 oches thick in walls and 2 'hes thick in floors—plus a All electric split-level home, top, in Monroe, Conn, development sells for $16,800.

An All-Senior forward wall will start for Newberry headed by pre season All-State Choice, Conley Jumper (190) of Swansea; Ends Jimmie Graham (205) of Johnston, and John Hudgens (215) of Lynch burg; Tackles Gene Hendrix (195) of Lexington, and John Temples (200) of Batesburg; Guards Ro land Rosier (185) of Barnwell and Stanley Ross (195) of' Blackville. Kirkland’s double wing-T backfield is composed of fullback Richard Seastrunk (170) of Suummerville; Halfbacks Jimmy Lowder (160) of Sumter, and Carl Harris (165) of Florence, and the 138 pounder who was selected “Player of the Week,” Wyman Taylor of Sumter. Newberry’s entire starting unit hails from the Palmetto State. Of Presbyterian starters seven are from Georgia, two from South Carolina, and two from Pennsyl vania. Both teams have unusual high scoring offensive units. Despite one shutout each, Newberry has scored 243 points averaging 27 points per game while the P. C. units are averaging 24. Newberry has the longest winning streak in the state winning consecutively from Carson-Newman (29-0), Troy (33-6), East Carolina (34- 7), Guilford (28-8), Elon 56-21), and Wofford (35-0). The series record which began in 1913 stands Presbyterian 27 wins, Newberry 14, with three ties. The worst trouncing came in 1929 when Presbyterian rolled over the Tribe 54-0. However, Newberry’s first official football team of 1913 whipped them twice by identical scores of 51-0.

The pay-off of education comes with the ability of parents to help maintain it at a level beneficial to the child. Failures in basic learning are not so much the responsibility of the schools as they are of the par ents to recognize the causes for such failures soon enough. Free schooling in a free nation does not mean that gaining of knowledge is a take it or leave it proposition. Thfc true standard of education is in the learning of one fundamental rule of free dom. President Eisenhower re cently spoke of self-discipline as the prime ingredient in the exer cise of freedom and liberty. This lesson of self-discipline is basic in learning the value of law and government. We may teach our children the mechanics of reading, math and science, but the lessons are not learned if the responsibility which goes with learning is not made clear. Knowledge of government and the functioning of law are taught. but the responsibility attached to use of the right to vote and to observance of codes of right con duct must go deeper than thru school training alone. Children copy adult behavior, and we must be careful of the examples we set for them to copy. ' Appreciation of education can well start with some well-applied discipline by parents themselves. Interest in pupil problems which can be met through better par ent-teacher relationship is one readily available means. Closely fbllowed acquaintance ship with curriculum standards can help point to weaknesses which may lead to failures in adjustment by the child. There can be no greater tragedy to some future life than the failure to have learned some funda mental lesson at the right.time. Let us not contribute to this future tragedy through some adult failure at self-discipline in supplying needed guidance now. The pay-off of education for the future generation depends in large part upon our present co operation with those authorized by us to teach our children. 6UHSS Who HfeotE TO ME TODAY?
