COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
Thanksgiving—1960—is now one
'with Ninevah and Tyre—lost in
the mist of history.
I speak of the day of thanks,
as prescribed formally. Real
thanksgiving wells up in our
hearts every day.
As a mere ceremony Thanks
giving is impressive, but not very
affective. As a Nation we have
wmr reasons for grateful remem
brance of what we inherited from
those who built this vast area in
to a great nation. As individuals
We need no formality, rather a
daily walk with the Giver of all
things.
There is occasion to be thankful
■for what we have and what we
have not.
In our later years we often are
convinced that some disappoint
ments, even some hard knocks,
developed into benefits.
The best prayer must be to
ask guidance, since we cannot see
far ahead. And then we often do
not know our real capability.
As Tennyson says, we are us
ually “Infants, crying in the night;
Infants crying for the light; and
•with no language but a cry.”
> Even so; the cry to Jehovah
always receives attention, whether
Ijy granting us what we seek, or
by denying our importunities,
sometimes childish.
. “When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word
What a glory He sheds on
our way;
« While we do His good will, He
abides with us still
And with all who will trust
and obey.”
Walking with the Lord may not
make us millionaires, but where
ape the millionaires of just a few
ago—the Rockefellers, J.
Pierpont Morgan, and thousands
of others.
They deft all their millions here;
they didn’t take a dollar with
them.
So a bargain is offered to every
body: whether to plan all for
now or for the millions of years
called eternity.
I do not disparage the great
achievements of today; the Great
Jehovah endowed every man with
capability for something; and
whether great or small He wants
us to show forth his praise not
only with our lips but in our lives.
The true son goes forth in the
strength of the Lord, using all
fruitfully.
When this comes to you I’ll be
in Mexico, on the way to Mexico
City, having renewed my appre
ciation of Atlanta, New Orleans,
Houston, San Antonio and Laredo.
Tonight I expect to sleep in the
City of Monterey, that name mean
ing Mountain of the King. I do
not know which king or what
king, unless one of the Kings of
Spain of Gong ago. Mexico today,
as you know, is a republic, a fed
eration of States, and is known
as Los Estados Unidos de Meji-
co—the United States of Mexico.
I’m practicing my Spanish, as
you understand because I’m try
ing to outshine Editor Tom War
ing of the Charleston News and
Courier. Tom made a quick trip
to Mexico some years ago and
upon his return to Charleston so
impressed the owners of The News
and Courier with his fluent com
mand of diplomatic Spanish that
they elected him Editor forth
with.
My genial friend, Don Euri
pides Sanders, of The South Car
olina Electric and Gas Co. mar
vels at my account of ordering a
meal in Spanish. It won’t be the
most elegant Spanish, what is
known as Castillana, but dt will
be better than my first efforts
in Peru.
Several of us would go togeth
er to a restaurant and if anyone
gave an intelligible ordjer the
others would look wise and say
“Para mi lo mismo”—for me the
same.
Our Mexican neighbors have a
groat hero of world reknown—
Simon Bolivar. He was the George
Washington of all Latin Ameri
ca. Though a native of Venezuela
he became president of Peru and
other South American countries.
In passing I’m reminded, of
course of the Alamo in San An
tonio, and the illustrious dead
who fought for us.
If you travel over our nation
you will find Spanish names a-
bounding. San Antonio means St.
Antony, said to have been the pat
ron saint of the young ladies
seeking husbands. At least that’s
what they told me in the Peruvian
Andes.
I was in New Orleans, which
was named for the city of Or-
lean, France, where Joan of Arc
stayed for a while in a convent.
I spent a day there years ago.
Houston was named for the
great character Sam Houston.
Houston is a wonderfpl city be
cause it has wonderful leaders.
The men of that city dug a can
al sixty miles long and connected
with deep water, making Hous
ton the second port in the United
States.
Someone told me that Houston
has more millionaires than any
other city except New York. I
shall be careful how I repeat
that if I go to Dallas.
Houston is a city just like
Greenville and Spartanburg, Flo
rence and Sumter, Laurens, Clin
ton and Newberry.
I didn’t see any millions float
ing around, but if my old friend
Holden Davis had been with me T
might have established fiscal con
tact.
Laredo, Texas, is in a corner
and just across from Nuevo Lar
edo, Mexico, El Rio Grande se
parating them. As you know, El
Rio Grande is the Great River.
Laredo, Texas has sk> many
permanent and temporary Mexi
cans that the clerks speak Eng
lish and Spanish. 'Nuevo Laredo
is in Mexico and means New Lar
edo.
As you may know, the Mexican
of the street will regard me as a
“gringo.” Americans' are offended
by that t*nt it really means a
fair skin. I’ve' heard a descrip-

tion of a very fair lady as "muy
gringa”, very fair.
The Spaniard, or Latin, or, let
us say, Mexican, is polite and
very gracious in speech. Els fare
well frequently is “Adios,” which
really means commending you te
God. And “Que le vaya con Dios”
is that you may go with God.
All my official communications
in Peru were signed “Dios gustda
a ud”—God guide or guard ypu/?
A flippant Americiin once said
that meant “God help you” and
that people having business there
were i i special need - of divine
help.
It will not surprise me if I am
called “a yankee.” I’m accust
omed to that and there is a rea
son. A citizen of Mexico, Canada,
Peru or any other nation on this
side of the world is as much Am-'
erican as we are. That.we assume
the designation American seems
a bit presumptuous to a Mexi
can. Nor can we monopolize the
designation “The United States”
for Mexico and Brazil are “The
United States” also. So when
they say “Yankee” they really
mean what you and I call an A-
merican.
“Would you be happier if you
were smarter? Psychologists, so
ciologists, and research scient
ists in leading universities have
been exploring 1 happiness from
various angles, and they’ve come
up with:
Would You Be Happier If You
Didn’t Have To Wprk So Hard?
Chances are you wouldn’t.
Studies show people tend to be
happiest when* they are busiest,
and that people who look forward
to the time when they can retire
or ‘take things easier’ are likely
to be disappointed when they achr
ieve their goal; and that with,
most people leisure is more like
ly to produce boredom and dis
satisfaction than happiness.
What Class of People Are the
Happiest?
To find out the answer to this
question, University of Rochest
er investigators made a study pf
hundreds of men and women from
all walks of Hfe. Each subject
kept a daily record of his feel
ings and moods on special charts.
When the ’survey was completed,
it was found that men and wo
men in business averaged the
highest happiness score and ex
perienced the. fewest ‘low’ per
iods. Next happiest were teach-
1 era. Clerical workers ranked
third.
Which Sex is Happier?
Studies conducted by psychia
trist David H. Fink show that wo
men have the greater capacity
for both happiness and unhappi
ness. His researches show that
when a woman gets a reasonable
‘break’ in life (a home, children,
and a good husband), she is far
happier than a man is. But when
circumstances are adverse, she
tends to experience greater un
happiness and deeper depression
than does the male. f . \
Is It True That People of Above
Average Intelligence Are the
No. Investigations have shown
the reverse to be true. In stud
ies conducted at Ohio Wesleyan
«University, students who. made
higher than average I. Q. scores
rated themselves appreciably less
happy than did their colleagues
who were less well endowed in
tellectually. Findings of the in
vestigators suggested that more
intelligent persons may tend to
be aware of more things to be
discontented about. Studjes at the
University of California Medical
School show that pqople who ire
brainier than average tend to ad
just less readHy to disappoint
ments, frustrations, and the var
ious pressures and stresses of
everyday life.
Is It True That Good-Looking
People Tend To Be The Happiest?
Yes. Indiana Universitytsinves-
tigators studied a representative
cross section of men and- women
and found that those who were
rated as good-looking or attract
ive tended to be the happiest and
best adjusted emotionally. This
was found to be particularly true
in the case of women.
How Are You Most Likely To
Find Happiness ?
Not by searching for it, but by
letting it catch up with you. Be
keeping busy doing your job well
and living as good a life as you
can. By being grateful for what
you have, instead of regretful for
what you do not have. By realiz
ing. that you cannot bring happi
ness to others without having
that happiness rub off on your
self.

' Searcy, Arkansas
Beware. of > Kissing Reds
A few weeks ago a new novel
was called to our attention, en
titled “When The Kissing Had
To Stop.” It isn’t a novel about
kissing, but it is a novel about
seduction, the seduction of the
British political leaders and the
British people by Communist a-
gents. The novel was written by
Constantine Fitzgibbon, an Am
erican educated in Europe who
fought with first the British
Army and then the U. S. Army
in World War II. It is an impor
tant fiction story, as you shall
see.
Fitzgibbon’s story takes place
in' England during the present
and the next few years, and a-
gainst a background of rising
anti-Americanism, pacifism, and
moral breakdown. In the story the
English people are caught up in
an upheaval that begins as a
naive pacifist movement by gen
tle people but develops into a de
mand for the ouster of Ameri
can bases in the British Isles,
unilateral disarmament; and
moves finally toward disaster for
England.
Skillful Maneuver
In the story, the Soviets, tak
ing advantage of the fear created
by their agents in England, get
their people into strategic po*i-
'tions. An Englishman destined
to become Prime Minister plays
along with the Communists, but
he is loyal to England all the
time, expecting to use the Com-
mUnists’ political skill to ach
ieve the Primemimstership and
then turn dtf'lJiem when his po
wer over England'* became absor
lute.
As he travels toward this
strength of the hidden Commun
ist apparatus within England, he
and other political leaders bow to
the demands of the Labor-Social
ists, maneuvered by the Redr, for
a disarmament- deal with Russia.
Russia announces that she is dis
mantling her missile bases in Po
land and England matches this
by ordering American bases dis
mantled, American forces evac
uated, and the missile bases des
troyed. Russia sends in an “in
spection team.” It is a military
force in disguise. With the aid of
its hidden agents it swings the
governmental power to its dupe,
the Englishman. Then it takes
control of the nation and liquid
ates the Prime Minister — an
nouncing his suicide.
Fiction and Fact
Is it just a fiction story? Or is
it a book of prophetic signifi
cance ? A few days, afbr
read it, % U. S. News and W<*kl
Report, 6ur nation’s most reli
able news weekly* carried this
report: “The 'ban the bomb’ idea
is becoming a major political
force in Britain. For a long while
only pacifists and Communists
urged it. Now Britain’s AFL-CIO,
the Trades Union Congress, is on
the verge of adopting the idea of
ficially under the label, 'Unila
teral nuclear disarmament.’ Bri
tain’s big labor party is heading
in exactly the same direction,
(proposing) abolition of U. S.
bomber bases in Britain armed
with nuclear weapons.” This dis
patch was dated Aug. 16. &
* On October 24, the same news
magazine published the sequel:
“A year of maneuver by the
Communists has now saddled
Britain’s opposition Labor Party
with a policy that could wreck
Europe’s defenses and drive Am
erican military forces back to the
United States. . .By throwing
their weight and organizational
talents into an essentially emo
tional ‘ban the bomb’ movement,
the Communists played a key
part in committing the Labor Par
ty to a neutralist line.
A Major Victory
“The Communists ' have al
ready achieved a major victory
(in England),” said the news
magazine. “Two of their main
objectives—withdrawal of Amer
ican forces from Europe and li
quidation of NATO—have been
incorporated into the official
program of a responsible, non-
Communist party that only 10
years ago governed Britain and
last year polled more than 12
million votes.”
Then another significant news
item came to our attention, an
interview in the Tolronto Daily
Star with Dr. Donald Soper f past
