Benson PRESIDENT-NATIONAL 'i EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkamat COURAGEOUS PUBLIC SERVANT Congressman Walter H. Judd, of Minnesota, is giving our nation the kind of leadership service that any nation must have to progress .and remain free. He doesn’t think first about being popular with the electorate back home. His cour age and his integrity demand that his words and his actions in Con gress and as a citizen be based on sound principles, no matter what the results may be political ly. His 18 years in Congress are proof enough that a majority of the American people, when given a clear choice, respect and affirm sound basic principles. In an addres? dedicating the Citizenship Training Center at Oklahoma Christian College, Dr. JTadd spoke out with typical frank ness about the American system and government’s function in _ a free society. He recalled that President Woodrow Wilson once said, “The history of man’s strug gle for liberty is the history of his struggle to hold down the powers of government.” Congress man Judd said: “We must have government, but we must hold it down to the minimum. And now those who call themselves Wilson’s ideological followers take every problem to Washington. And this worries me more than some of our external dangers. Big Government Reactionaries “Some advocate returning to the system our forefathers came here to get away from, and they call that progress! Really it’s re action—it’s going backwards, not forward. It always looks good at first to follow such a course. You can pass out something as long as it has been provided by a pre ceding and more provident gene ration. But what happens when you run out of the fat? “You know, I could work the arithmetic problems for my two daughters better than they could work them for themselves. I was tempted to do it at times too, be cause it was easier. They would have liked to have me do it, but I didn’t. I helped them, encouraged, nudged, corrected, advised, pray ed, but I didn’t work the problems for them. A parent who does for a child what the child has the ca pacity to do for himself destroys both the capacity and incentive of the child to do for himself. And when government does for the citizen that which the citizen should do for himself, the citizen yidll be damaged in the process dn the same way. Learning About Wealth “Some years ago,” continued Congressman Judd, “I read of a Hutch student in a theological seminary who got a job filling in as a summer preacher in a church in Iowa while the regular preach er was gone. In his first sermon the young man got up and said that America tnust share her wealth with the world. The deac ons decided that he had better ;find out how the wealth was pro duced. “So they let him tassel corn for the rest of the summer instead of preach. He found out about wealth. It’s no use getting mad at fellows like that. This one saw the gap between the way we’re living and the way so many peo ple are living, and his first reac tion was that we should ‘share our wealth.’ If that would solve the problem we’d need to do it, bat it wouldn’t solve the problem. The wealth would soon be gone. The other peoples would be no bet ter off and we’d be worse off. Who would that help? Fundamental Principles “Wealth is a result of some thing. What these people need is not wealth but the secret of wealth. And what’s the secret of the wealth ? It’s an economic sys tem that gives opportunity and in centive for people to get ahead in accordance with their own mer it, or their imagination, or effort. Where did that come from ? It came from a political philosophy that recognized the rights of the ' individual as a child of God.

It is for mankind, the mind of man, the soul of man, the whole of man. Never did Am ericans face such a fundamental challenge to our ultimate values. Never did we have to think no deeply and work so hard as we’re going to have to do, if we’re to live in dignity or even live at all. Our generation is not going to be able to escape the call to great dedication and heroic effort if we are to secure the blessings of lib erty for ourselves and our poster ity.” THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, I960 AMERICANA Wheeling, West Virginia Cities To See Wheeling, W. Va., was founded in 1769 by Colonel Ebenezer Zane and his two brothers, who came from South Branch Valley 100 years after the first white man set foot on what is now West Virginia soil. The town grew up about Fort Henry which was built by Captain Crawford and a company of men from Fort Dunmore, Virginia in 1774. The last battle of the Revolutionary War was fought at Wheel ing between 42 inhabitants who were within Fort Henry and a detach ment of British soldiers and about 250 Indians. The city had its first impetus because it was located near the head of navigation on the Ohio River, and was for a long time the western terminal of the Na tional Road, which was finished in Wheeling in 1919, Cumber land, Maryland, being the eastern end. The National Road was the most important avenue of com merce over the mountains prior to the railroads and after its ex tension to Columbus, Indianapo lis, and St. Louis, a constant stream of commerce flowed over the highway. Wheeling was the first point reached by railroad on the Ohio River and was for some years the western terminal of the Baltimore and Ohio, the first road to cross th-* Allegheny Mourn a ins. Wheeling was established as a town in 1795 and in'" '. rated in 1836. A Charter ■ rted in 1836 by the Virginia Assembly Wheeling was loyal to the Fed eral Government during the Civil War, and the State of West Virginia was born here. The capi- tol of the new state was located here from 1863 to 1870, when it was mbved to Charleston. In 1875, the seat of government was brought back to Wheeling and remained until 1885, when it was again transferred to Charleston. Wheeling has an estimated population of 65,000, but in reali ty is a community of many times that population, stretching north, south, east and west over the Ohio River to a radius of 30 miles. The population of the Wheeling Metropolitan Area ap proximates 354,000. Located on the Ohio River, Wheeling is 59 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. LATEST NEWS . . .

Smith UTi GO steady THIS WEEK’S LETTER: “I have a problem which I can’t solve. I met this boy the first day of school. He’s been constantly tag ging along wherever I go. A few days ago he came up to me and asked me to go steady. I have never planned on going steady until I was at least in my senior a m high school. I don't be- ’ . .. in . ing steady. Do you think I thing 0 I ha tl "m sort of bashful to boys and saying ! things like that. I get speechless. He’s a nice boy and is very friend ly, but I just don’t care for him. How would you go about telling him that, when you are as bashful as I am? /n this situation, as in everything else—‘‘honesty is the best policy.” The only thing to do is tell the boy the truth—just as stated in the let ter. To begin, a girl who does not uant to go steady needs to give.no other reason than to state the jaet that she is not interested in going steady. Actually, she is bting un fair, both to herself and to the boy concerned, when she does not make this clear. The sooner the “decks are cleared,” the better for all con cerned. Being bashful about some thing and putting it off just makes the situation grow worse—and eventually more embarrassing. Sooner or later, a “showdown” must come. The sooner the better. I believe that I would handle the situation by telling him the truth, just as it is stated in the letter— that he is a nice boy, friendly, but “going steady” is out of the ques tion. It is essential that he be told, or he will continue to believe that silence means consent and agree ment to the plea of “going steady.” Sometimes we can hurt our selves by being bashful o being too-much concerned tha" 1 . we might hurt someone else’s feelings. But we must be honest—with our selves and with others. The sim plest way is to say, “John, ycu are a nice boy. I feel compli mented that you ask me but I have to say ‘no.’ 1 don’t want to go steady.” If you have a teenage problem . j want to diseuss, or an observation make, address your letter to ’’-'OH AND ABOUT TEENAGERS. NAT X- AL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER SERV ICE, FRANKFORT, KY. Rev. Robert H. Harper Squirrel Watching In my back yard Is an immense oak that I referred to as a live- oak. Then a man who knew better called it a gray oak. The linger ing doubt in my mind was dis pelled when winter came. Then, though the trunk is huge, the branches large and spreading, and the leaves resemble those of a live-oak. the leaves fell off and the limbs were left gaunt and bare. A live-oak is always green. There is a squirrel that appears in the thick foliage of a pecan tree nearby when the nuts are ripe. The other day, when it was cold and the wind was blowing hard, a squirrel was cavorting among the branches of the oak. Another cherished bit of knowl edge was dispelled. I once thought, creeping through the woods in quest of small game, that squirrels do not venture out on cold, windy days. Now I know better. And from a squirrel cavorting in a tree has come the realization that there are many things I did not know and that more can be learned with a watchful eye and the effort to observe things as they really are. Then with con fidence we can discard our pre conceived and unverified notions of some things. FOR BeTTSR health FARM NOTES liulurs , > ><<>11111111111111,(1,1 WATER SAFETY During this season, water safe ty is of great importance. We have thousands of ponds and many bathing places. Some are not supervised at all. So every swimmer needs to have some safe ty rules in mind. The Red Cross is very active in this field. They suggest that an inflated innertube with about a 40 foot piece of rope attached to it be kept at every swimming place for emergencies. Also a. long fishing pole that you might reach one with who is in distress. Other suggestions are: If you can’t swim, don’t drift into deep water on a tube. Tt might be come deflated. Learn to swim a little and then better. Never swim alone. Swim only in safe places, clearly marked. Don’t swim under a diving board, and look before you dive. Never dive into unknown water, you might hit a rock or stump ,or the water might not be deep enough. Don’t swim right after eating, when overheated, or very tired. Stay out of water dur ing storms. Try to keep calm if you get in trouble in the water, and float with face up, with hands and feet under water gently mov ing them to propel you to safety. This is a brief summary of wa ter safety rules carried in the National Grange Monthly. And I might add, never go in a boat without a life preserver. Many of our farm pends were not built for swimming. So they carry unusual hazards, like steep banks. A ladder inserted there and weighted to the bottom is a good safety precaution. IMPROVING BEEF CATTLE * ■*••• ’ -vsT/'* f -i County Agent Outz figures Laurens County has more regist ered beef cattle than any other county in the state. And they are doing something very definite about improving them. Their per formance testing program is un derway with over a thousand- cows. This was made possible by the Exchange Club and local farm ers buying the necessary portable scales. These are in charge of As sistant County Agent H. L. Eason, who supervises the weighing an#, record keeping. The poorer ani* mals were weeded out. A cow must- • raise a good calf fast to stay in. the herds. Thus the “loafers" and low producers are being eliminat ed. A* WEEVIL FIGHT The boll weevil fight is getting tight. We are nearing the end of it. Our Max Sparks urges all who have made a good fight so far to watch their cotton and continue poisoning a little longer where needed. Making cotton now is mainly a battle with this bug. And he has shown time and again that he can take the crop unless we are vigilant. it* COMING SOON August 16-18 inclusive is Faim and Home Wee.!*, at Clemson. This- event grows by the year. For in stance, McKenzie tells me it looks, like they will have to extend the tent another 100 feet, to 500, to- accomodate the exhibits needing" shelter.

Dean, M.D. MEDITORIAL: Most people are familiar with the problem of “stomach” (peptic) ulcers. I have written many times on this sub ject but one aspect that I’ve neglected to mention is that pep tic ulcers can occur in children. In fact, it is believed by most experts that this condition is far more common than-generally be lieved. Peptic ulcers have been found within 10 months of birth. Careful examination reveals a frequent incidence of emotional distur bances. The children are nervous, irritable and tend to cry . great deal. Both the mother of the affected child and her mother tend to exhibit similar emotional problems. Whether the child inherits this emo tional tendency or acquires it by association is difficult to ascertain, but it played a known role in the formation of ulcers. The symptoms of peptic ulcers in children are similar to those of adults. The most common is pain in the “stomach.” Children do not have night pain as a rule. 0 0 0 (Q) “My 80-year-old mother has been troubled with muens in her throat for several years. It makes her congh at night and she feels as if she is strangling. Do you have any suggestions?” Mrs. C. N. (A) Her condition might be stemming from a chronic sinus infection with a post-nasal drip. Sinus drainage bothers people more when they lie down to sleep. I suggest that her sinuses be examined by your doctor or an ear, nose and throat specialist. There may be some medicine that c <n help “dry” up this mucus. STAR RING WITH HER GUEST STARS FERNANDOIAMAS JOEY BISHO DICK POPE.THE AQUAMAIDS.THE! AQUAMANIACS, CYPRESS GARDENS SKI i BALLET.
