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.

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.

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.

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.

New Luxury Houses Can Be Built
Without Luxury Price Tags
How do you build a develop
ment of split-level and ranch-
style homes on wooded one-acre
sites, cram them with luxuries
suqh as electric heating, and sell
them for under $17,000?
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—

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.

From the Desert Journal,
Joshua Tree, California: Educa
tion is not alone what schools
and their staff of teachers are
able to supply. 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.
