t HOW CAN THE FAMILY BUDGET be balanced if the wife is a spendthrift and the husband a nitwit, or vice versa? ONE TEST OF A YOUNG MAN is ths impression he makes on strangers; if good, he is on his way to success. VOLUME 24; NUMBER 31. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA,fTHURSDAY, NOV. 24, 1960 $2.00 PER YEAR '■M By The Way By Doris A- * * ndors YOU’RE BETTER OFF In the event you read an adver tisement of the S. C. Electric & Gas Co. in the Sunday issue of The State newspaper, you might have wished for a minute you could be there to take advantage of those LOW electric rates. The ad claims “Electric Heating Rate Reduced! Lowest in entire Southeast.” The “lowest” was qualified thusly: “The new elec tric heating rate of IHc per kilo watt hour is the lowest rate offer ed to residential customers by any investor-owned electric company in the Southeastern United States.” This new low rate, says SC Elec tric & Gas, will be available to residential customers who use electricity as the sole source of space heating in their homes and to ail electric use in excess of 500 kilowatt hours from November through April. Take heart, Newberrians! This rate may seem low but it isn’t as low as you pay. The rate in New r - berry for residential electric cus tomers is exactly the same—l^ic per kilowatt hour—but that is year round, and regardless of the number of kilowatt hours you use. Nice to know that our electric rates are lower than the “lowest in the entire Southeast.” My thanks to Mr. Clarence Wal-1 lace for calling this to my atten-! fcion.

V •' .. / TOO HAPPY The average person, I fear, is too happy and content these days to take a glance into the future. Tomorrow — Thanksgiving Day 1960—if he thinks about it, he will give thanks for the turkey dinner and his good seat at the football game. He may even give thanks—if he thinks about it—that he can buy a turkey and that he is free to go to a foot ball game. The thought never oc curs to him that it could be other wise. The idea of ever being en slaved is too fantastic for him to consider. * There are people who are not “average.” They have seen the Communist monster first hand. They know what it can do, and will do, if Americans don’t wake up. One of these persons is Con gressman Walter Judd of Minne sota. He lived in communist-con trolled countries, and so appre hensive was he that he returned to the United States and tried to warn the people what could hap pen. Few have listened. J. Edgar Hoover, highly res pected director of the F.B.L, has tried repeatedly to warn Ameri cans of the communist danger. Few have listened. Fred C. Koch, a businessman of Texas, has become so disturbed about the communist menace that he has published a little booklet, “A Business Man Looks at Com munism.” Mr. Koch is president of the Rock Island Oil and Refining Co., Inc., chairman of the board of the Koch Engineering Co., Inc.; di rector of First National Bank, and director of The Coleman Co., all of Wichita, Kansas. In addition he is a director of Great Northern Oil Co. and Minnesota Pipe Line Co., both of St.' Paul, Minn., md of South Saskatchewan Pipe Line Co. and Great Northern Oil Pur chasing Co., both of Regina, Can ada. He has visited the Soviet Union during 1930, while his com pany was building 15 oil cracking plants there. He returned there for a visit in 1956. I give all this background so you will understand that the man is responsible, not a “crackpot” and that he knows what he is talking about. Some excerpts from the booklet follow: • “I went to the U.S.S.R. in 1930, and found it all and of hunger, misery, and terror. The govern ment detailed a little man by the name of Jerome Livshitz to go around to our various installations with me ... He was a hard-core Communist, one of the old Bol sheviks, and had tremendous power as everyone feared him wherever we w^ent. “In the months I traveled with him he gave me a liberal educa tion in Communist techniques and methods. He told me how the Communists were going to infil trate the U.S.A. in the schools, universities, churches,. labor un ions, government, armed forces, and to use his - rds, ‘Make you rotten to the core. I believe that due to hig American experience he was one of the original architects of the Communist plan of subver sion of the U.S.A. . . . He told me if his own mother stood in the ONE TURKEY WON’T get his head chopped off Thanksgiving Day, and that is the one made by sec ond grade students of Mrs. Frank Mills at Boundary Street School. The children each drew, colored and cut out the “feathers” then pasted them on a white paper to make the turkey. With their teacher in this picture are, from left front row, Mike Graham, Dial Long, Owen Hewitt, Howard Kirkegard, Harry Cromer and Garry Boozer.

Criminal Court Convenes On Monday With 48 Cases Pending Straight Talk. way of the revolution he would strangle her with his bare hands. “There w r ill never be peace in the world as long as Commui ism exists. We are in a v'ar to the death, and not of our choosing. Unhappily, few people are aware of this fact. “Socialism is the precursor of Communism. Democracy cannot exist if the government owns all property. A Communist take over in a Socialist country would be no trick at all. “It is obvious that we are in great danger when a few unscrup ulous labor leaders can compel a worker to join a union, contribute money to the union, and obey the will of these leaders. When the tremendous sums so realized can be used for political purpose to elect puppets of these leaders to political offices about which the worker has nothing to say, dicta torship is just around the corner. In addition to the threat of having his head bashed in for failure to comply, the worker is bribed by higher and higher wages. The end result of this game will be slavery for him, although few seem to realize it. “Labor unions have long been a communist goal. How far they have been penetrated by Commun ists I have no idea, but it must be very far indeed judging by the hatred and venom poured out in some labor papers. Some labor leaders do all they can to prevent a friendly feeling from developing between labor and management— in fact, encourage a feeling of hatred of management by the workers. The effort is frequently made to have the worker do as little as possible for the money he receives. This practice alone can destroy our country. “. . . if many of the opinions of the Warren Supreme Court had been written in tjie Kremlin they could not have served the Com munists better. Its unbelievable pro-communist decisions have completely wrecked the internal security of our country. This is set out admirably in the report of the American Bar Association. The Supreme Court has repeatedly thwarted the will of Congress as regards Communism. ‘fThe greatest problem facing the American people is internal subversion. Was the subject men tioned in the platform of either political party as Los Angeles or Chicago? No. Why? Since Mc Carthy was crucified no public fig ure has had the courage to wade into this controversial field. This! obviously has been a tremendous | victory for Communism—in fact, | it may have settled the fate of our country.” (More next week.) (Several months ago, a read er wrote to Tom Anderson, edi tor of Farm and Ranch maga zine, criticising the fact that he was “against” so many things and asking if he is “for” any thing. The only thing Tom An derson is against is the throw ing away of freedom for a wel fare-state socialistic govern ment. In the November issue of his magazine, he began telling his readers what he is ‘for’. He continues in the December “Straight Talk,” published be low.—Ed.) Satchel Paige, baseball’s ageless colored pitcher, said, “Don’t never look back—somethin’ might be gainin’ on you.” I’m for looking back, only to find out how much it’s gaining, how it got there and how to gain on it. I’m for realiz ing that “those who ignore his tory are condemned to repeat it.” For remembering that a govern ment big enough to give us every thing we w'ant is big enough to take everything we’ve got. I’m for “gains”—not Kennedy’s gov ernment gains, but individual gains. The more the government gains, the more the people lose. I’m for “New Frontiers” for America based on individual and corporate achievement, not “gains” made by a federal colossus blotting out our freedoms in order to “beat Russia”. Why “win” at the expense of freedom? For not swapping the Russian spy Abel for U-2 spy Powers. If we insist on getting Powers back let’s swap Cyrus Eaton for him. For giving Adlai the Appeaser a job in the new administration: “Feeder of the Crocodiles” in the Washington zoo. Adlai needs to learn what eventually happens when you co-exist with crocodiles, feeding your friends to them so they’ll eat you last. For declaring the mass slaughter of Africans, Cubans, Russians, Hungarians, Chinese, Catholics and Protestants an equal crime with the mass mur der of Jews. For a Congressional investigation of our State Depart ment to uncover those dedicated careerists who’ve never made a mistake in our favor. We did not get where we are by accident. They “planned it that way.” Pm for adopting as our “Na tional Question” Patrick Henry’s immortal challenge: “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?” No longer is the excuse valid: “I can’t engage open ly in politics because of my busi ness.” The politics we are engaged in today is for survival—not just survival of a business or profes sion, but survival as a free people under God.

(By Ozzie Herlong) Both Newberry and Presbyter ian were getting in tune this past weekend for the Turkey Day Classic to be played Thursday, November 24 in Bailey Stadium at Clinton. Newberry is fresh from a 27-0 trouncing over Carson-Newman. jLAcJded incentive for a victory X- -^TWftie^ffWn ^etbral'factors hover ing in the Indian camp: (1) the Indians need this game to have their ninth consecutive winning season as their present record is 5-5. (2) the Indians want to re gain possession of the Bronze Derby, and (3) the Indians want I’evenge from last season’s 20-6 loss. The Tribe will be a threat in the air and on the ground. Fresh man quarterback Tom Gorman of South Plainfield, N. J. has been a passing sensation for the last few 'games. Already he has completed 39 passes, including six touch down passes, for 585 yards. Per centage-wise he has completed .51. Senior fullback Richard Sea- strunk of Summerville has boosted his four-year career total to 1719 yards. He has amassed 638 yards this season and averages 4.3 yds. per carry. Two of the South’s fin est backs, Jimmy Lowder of Sum ter and Carl Harris of Florence, flank Seastrunk. Lowde$ is a sophomore at the Lutheran insti tution where thus far this season he has totaled 598 yards rushing with a 6.7 yard per carry average. Harris, a junior, has 441 yards with a 6.1 yard per carry aver age. Harris leads the team in scoring with 64 points, and Low der is second with 48. On offense, Presbyterian, fresh from a 32-6 victory over Elon, will mix the effective passing of quarterback Bobby Joiner with the rushing onslaught of fullback Bill Hill and halfbacks Jimmy May Ronnie Hampton and Billy Ben ton in an effort to keep the points clicking on the scoring register. Defensively, the jolts will be on the left side of the line at the guard and tackle slots where Gor don Darby and Tommie Witt will swap leather with Presbyterian’s Billy Ogden and Sonny Dubose. State Chorus Members Have Been Chosen The South Carolina All-State Chorus Audition Committee has released the names of the students who were selected as members of the 1960-61 Chorus, according, to Miss Juanita Hitt, president of the Choral Division of the South Carolina Music Educators Asso ciation. v * Three audition centers were set up in the southern, central and northern sections of the state, and more than 300 students were aud- / itioned.

About 150 persons attended the first of a series of coffees spon sored by the Industrial Develop ment committee of the Newberry County Development Board Tues day raorning at the Community Hall. The “Know Your Commun ity” presentation was by Dr. A. G. D. Wiles, president of New berry College. • v ’ . . • ' • Dr. Wiles, whose subject was “What. Does Newberry College Mean to the Community?” pre faced his remarks by telling what the community means to the col lege. “The beauty of the City is a tremendous asset to the college” he said. “The friendliness and the gentleness of its citizens is an advantage to the college; the quietness and peacefulness mean much to the college. All of these things,” ne continued, “are need ed for meditation and the develop ment of the mind.” He then told of the financial advantage of the college to the community. Among the items he mentioned were plant investment, over one and one-half million dol lars; salaries for administrative staff and faculty, $270,000; wages for dining hall and campus main tenance staff, $53,000; college ex penditures to merchants and oth-. ers for goods and services in the county, $125,000; estimated stu dent expenditures a year, $175- 000. He said there was no way , to estimate expenditures of visitors to the college on various occas ions. With a payroll of 115 peo ple, he said the college ranks 5th among top employers in the coun ty. Th^ cultural advantage of the college was stressed next by Dr. Wiles. “It could be that some of the magnificence of the city re sults from the cultural influence of the college for over a century,” he said. “Members of our faculty, by their very professions, are cul- tural N The college brings in lec turers. We have a fine library and an intelligent group of young people.” He said that some of the culture emanating from the college was being absorbed by young people of the community “despite shoot- em-ups on the television and rock and roll on the radio.” He stated that Newberry citi zens are almost assured a college education for their children, be cause many who could not afford to send their children off to col lege could afford to send them as day students. The third advantage of the col lege pointed out by Dr. Wiles was the attraction to business and in dustry. He said that business exe cutives, on the whole, were well educated, cultured men and wanted to locate in a cultural community. He then told the groqp of some of the needs of the college. “The $270,000 paid the faculty is about $100,000 too low,” he said. “There is much we can do. The campus needs improvements. We need new buildings to replace Carnegie Hall and to get rid of the left-over war buildings. We need a new music building—the ceiling fell in on the r ,' KV organ the other day. Frankly, the faculty needs improvement. They are overburdened. We need more I teachers with doctoral degrees.” Hs told his listeners about th« “Wofford Story,” of the tremen dous support of alumni of Wof ford College. “This story is beiiiff published in education journals all around the country,” he said. “Will you help us write the New berry College Story? It needs to be written.” , Benjamin.. Robinson, executive director of the Newberry County Development Board, introduced John F. Clarkson and Mayor Ern est Layton, co-chairmen of the Industrial Developlment commit- tee. Mr. Clarkson introduced Dr. Wiles. Coffee and doughnuts were en joyed by those attending the meet ing. m Mrs. J. E.
