General Benedict Arnold
General Delivery
Great Beyond
Dear General:
How’s everything down there ?
I’ve been thinking about you quite
a bit lately. You got a bum rap,
General, based on today’s stand
ards. Generals today get busted for
teaching Americanism.
General, you were ahead of your
time. Today you would be a jun
ior league traitor. You merely
tried to sell this country out to our
friends and kinfolks, to our mother
country, which merely wanted to
keep on mothering us. Your suc
cessors are selling us out to Moth
er Russia, and they’ve not even
our own folks.
The other night, General, I was
in a debate on TV with, among
others, the head of one of our larg
est theological seminaries. You
may not have been able to get this
TV program down there, because
it wasn’t on Network. I under
stand you do have Network TV
and are forced to look at it con
tinuously, even at Ed Sullivan. Af
ter hearing this preacher-teacher
advocate a non-prpfit, One-World
brotherhood, I asked him how he
differed from a Socialist. I stated
that Socialism was Communism
without the firing squad—the half
way house to Communism. This
man who is “educating” thousands
of Protestant ministers argued
that Communism is the halfway
house to Socialism; that we should
disarm completely; that surrender
is preferable to war; that the Com
munists have a lot to commend
them; that they are progressing
nicely; that we should meet them
halfway in an international Social
ist Brotherhood. He said he was in
Russia seven years ago and noted
great improvements. I was in Rus
sia two years ago and noted the
inscription I wsnt for my tomb
stone: “I’d rather be here than in
Russia.” If I owned Russia and
Hell, I’d rent out Russia and live
in Hell. Please express my apolo
gies for borrowing that thought to
General Sherman when you see
him.
There are not many Communists
in America. We may not have any
more than they had in Cuba, Lat
via, Hungary, Poland, and other
countries when they were enslav
ed. What we really need to do is
to trade some of our government
• church and business leaders who
• follow the -Communist line for
some real Communists. Known
Communists are nothing like as
dangerous as are non-Communist
dupes in influential places. Of
course, what counts is not how
many Communists there are in
government, but where they are.
Our aim is to pacify the world.
The Russian aim is to own it. We
will either wake up soon or we will
die in our sleep. We could be van
quished by nuclear bombs. But
we’re more apt to be taken over by
telephone. The troops who take us
over won’t even be in uniform at
first—unless they’re United Na
tions troops.
Some Americans think that if
we help Russia and all other back
ward nations lift themselves up to
our level, she’ll abandon her 40-
year effort to destroy us. Others
whom I could name except for lack
of time and money to fight a law
suit, would sell bombs to Khrush
chev and Mao if they could make
a profit on them. The “empty bel
lies cause Communism” theme is
a fraud. As Robert Welch says,
“There are more Communists with
Harvard accents than there are in
overalls.”
“It is impossible to know 7 the
truth and not be held responsible.”
Yet Adlai Stevenson, according to
newspaper reports, recently said
that raising the standard of back
ward countvies by sending them
American dollars is more import
ant to the U. S. than even our own
defense.
The enemy is waging w 7 ar upon
us. Unless we plan surrender, we
are at war. Unless we plan treas
on, we plan victory. The Commun
ist policy has never changed since
1917: To bring about through any
means possible the universal Revo
lution to establish the universal
State. Many non-Communist Am
ericans are promoting the same.
“Containment” faile, as it was
bound to. Coexistence will fail also,
because it is an immoral, impos
sible, gutless fraud. As Russian
General Zhukov said, coexistence
is as senseless as fried snowballls.
Yet we’ve been served fried snow
balls daily by our leaders for 20
years.
Possibly for the remarkable in
sight and foresight which made
him proclaim in a 1950 speech that
the Chinese Revolution was “not
Russian in esence” and “did not
aim at dictatorship,” Dean Rusk
was rewarded with the job of Sec
retary of State. Rusk declared
that Mao Tse Tung was China’s
George Washington. He compared
favorably the Chinese Revolution
with the American revolt against
the British.
High-placed officials in our
State Department, and Foreign
Service bureaucrats, have defeated
our friends like the great Yugo
slav Mikhai ovitch and brought
enemies like Tito in to murder
him; helped destroy Batista, one
of our few Carribean friends, so
that longtime Communist Fidel
Castro could establish a New Com
munist Frontier 90 miles off mir
shores. Robert Welch and other
patriots warned that Castro had
been ’a Communist all his adult

Mother Church
Has Annual Meet
Greater spiritual alertness is
needed to meet the unprecedented
challenges and opportunities pre
sented by the tremendous upheav
al in the world today. The Christ
ian Science Board of Directors
said.
In a special message to the An
nual Meeting of The Mother
Church, The First Church of
Christ, Scientist, held in Boston,
Mass., on June 5, the Directors
called for renewed vigilance on
the part of all who cherish free
dom, brotherhood, and truth.
“Among the stirring headlines
of our day,” they said, “there is
no more vital news than Christ
ianity which our Master taught
and practiced. In an age of politi
cal tyranny and ecclesiastical des
potism, of turbulence, unrest, and
hatred, Christ Jesus came preach-
ches of The Mother Church were
established during the year. New
Christian Science college organi
zations in South Africa and South
America were also reported.
Carter Graduates
From Med College
Word has been received that
Sydney E. Carter was awarded the
degree of doctor of medicine on
June 1, 1961, at the Medical Col
lege of South Carolina, Charles
ton. While a student at the Medi
cal College, Dr. Carter served as
vice-president of his freshman
and sophomore classes. He is a
member of Alpha Kappa Kappa
Medical Fraternity. During his
senior year, he was employed by
Baker Memorial Hospital where
he served as an extern. Beginning
July 1, 1961 Dr. Carter will start
his rotating internship on the
medical service at the Medical Col
lege teaching hospitals, Charles-
ing that the kingdom of'God is at i ton *
hand. He wielded a power which
the might of materialism could
neither parallel nor resiot.”
In our own age, material limi
tations are yielding to the free
dom-giving power of God, infin
ite Spirit, the Directors maintain
ed.
“Humanity is crying out,” they
said, “for freedom. People are cla
moring for liberty; nations are be
ing born; the barriers of time and
space are crumbling ... In the
fields of religion, government,
education, discovery, invention, in
dustry,. and medicine, matter is
slowly yielding to Spirit.”
Named President of The Moth
er Church was Mrs. Mary Lee
Gough Nay, a Christian Science
teacher and practitioner of Boston,
Mass. She suceeds Arthur W. Eck-
man, General Counsel of The Mo
ther Church.
A native of Texas, Mrs. Nay re
ceived her education at Ward Sem
inary, Nashville, Tennessee, the
University of Texas, and the Uni
versity of Chicago. She withdrew
from a musical career in 1918 to
devote her entire time to the prac
tice of Christian Science healing
in Chicago. She became an auth
orized teacher of Christian Science
in 1946. She will serve as President
for one year.
In her keynote address, Mrs.
Nay said that release from the
frustrations and inequalities of
materiality can come to all through
spiritual awakening.
“‘Basically, mankind needs
awakening from the nightmare of
belief in living . + ter and intel
ligent evil, from its confidence that
matter can give satisfaction, that,
it holds the solution for all the di
seases, iniquities, and inequalities
of the human family,” she declar
ed.
Emphasizing that there is an
answer to hatred, disease, poverty,
and disaster, Mr. Eckman, the re
tiring President, said, “it is God’s
law of love, which must be invoked
ii: humility and with abiding faith
and clear understanding.”
Healings through prayer of al
coholism, arthritis, poor eyesight,
goiter, cancer, and other serious
conditions were reported during
the year by those who became int
erested in Christian Science
through radio and television pro
grams in the series “How Christ
ian Science Heals,” Will B. Davis,
Manager of Committees on Publi
cation, told the large gathering.
The new delivery system estab
lished by the printing of The
Christian Science Monitor in Lon
don and Los Angeles, as well as in
Boston, has been very well receiv
ed, John H. Hoagland, Manager of
The Christian Science Publishing
Society, said. He reported that
circulation has increased by some
75,000 families since the Monitor
has been made available in Great
Britain and in many parts of the
United States on approximately
the date of publication.
New translations of some of the
writings of Mary Baker Eddy,
Discoverer and Founder of Christ
ian Science, into several languages
were announced.
In Ghana, West Africa, Uru
guay, and many other areas out
side the United States, new bran-
life and was taking orders from
the Kremlin but left wing press,
radio and TV commentators called
Castro the “George Washington of
Cuba.”
< The list of “accidents” is long.
Those accidents were planned that
way, General. Many of our leaders
who planned it that way are still
in office. As you well know. Gen
eral, men, not conditions, deter
mine our fate. Stupidity is not con
sistent. Accident® are nou treason
and treason is not an accident.
The dictionary defines treason
as “adhering to the eneiqy, giving
aid and comfort to the enemy.”
But we are revolutionizing our dic
tionary, Bible, Constitution, mor
als, schools, and meaning of treas
on. Soon traitor may mean “one
who criticises a government offi
cial who gives aid and comfort to
the enemy.” Treason is a horrid
word, like spit. And Castro spite
on us because of treason within
our own ranks. If freedom dies
“stateside”, it dies worldwide,
probably for centuries. I’d rather
be hung for a traitor opposing ty
ranny than be the hero of a dicta
torship. That being the case, I may
see you soon.
Mrs. Carter is the former Eliza
beth Biease Baker, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. Baker of
Newberry. They have two sons,
Sydney E. Carter Jr. and Richard
Baker Carter.
Mr. and Mrs. Baker attended the
graduation exercises.
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Sanders of
Sumter spent a short while Sun
day with Mrs. Frasier Sanders
and daughters, Connie and Ruthie.
Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Carter and
sons, Syd and Richard, will arrive
in Newberry Friday for a visit
with Mrs. Carter’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Richard L. Baker.

IDEAS
FROM
OTHER
EDITORS
From the Cedar Springs Clip
per, Cedar Springs, Michigan:
The Russian leaders boast end
lessly of their nation’s 'material
progress—and of their plans to
overtake and pass the United
States. But this progress, if it ex
ists, certainly isn’t filtering down
to the Russian masses.
The National Industrial Confer
ence^ Board has issued a survey
showing the worktime the typical
worker must put in to buy bon-
sumer items in New York and
Moscow. Example: In Moscow
it takes an boor and 4 minutes to
buy a pound of sugar—in New
York three minutes. In Moscow it editorially why so many gradua
takes 15 hours to buy a man’s cot
ton ahirt^-in New York 56 minutes.
In Moscow it takes 275 hottrs to
buy a man’s wool suit—in New
York 23 hours.
So it goes, aR the way down
the list of staple food, clothing
and other.necessary items. The
figures are based on average earn
ings in manufacturing industry,
and the Moscow prices are based
on information appearing in die
Soviet press.
This casts an interesting light
on Russian methods of production
and distribution—as well as the
philosophy back of the Russian
economic system. Production is
not based on consumer wants and
demands—it is based on what the
dictator’s decide. Distribution, al
most an of which is through state-
owned stores, is non-competitive,
and the prices along with quantity
and quality are established by fiat
The consumer, aside from the
small elite group, gets the short
end of the stick.
From the Cataklfl Moon tain
Star, Ssagerties, N. Y>: The edi
tor at a southern newspaper had
definite proof of the power of the
press early this summer when he
attempted to tell a group of teen
agers what to do on graduation
night It started when he asked
tfcm classes insisted on perpetuat
ing their memory by smearing wa
ter towers, walls, bridges and
other structures with paint to
*T»onor” the “Class of 00.’’ As an
alternative the journalist proposed
trees as a living memo-
He enraptured a stately ave
nue of beautiful shade trees lead
ing up to the alma mater, length
ening each year as succeeding
senior classes added to the pro
cession.
Well, the senior class got the
point alright They went out grad
uation night following the com
mencement exercises and planted
themselves a tree . . . right in the
editor’s front yard.
THE
VacuiA
BY THOMAS COLUNS
SEEKING A NEW, LOOK FOR RETIREMENT AT 65
» “
npHE newly appointed personnel
director of a prosperous com
pany has come seeking advice on
a “new approach’’ to the retire
ment of his company’s employees.
“I feel,’’ he says, “that the time
is about here for business firms to
start thinking freshly. Arbitrary
retirement at 85, the gold watch,
the pension, a booklet on Social
Security and a story in the com
pany magazine — these have
served the company and the em
ployees well for some time now.
But I question whether they will
be adequate much longer.”
Like this executive, many tune-
makers of business are reaching
out for new concepts of retire
ment So are labor unions. So are
people in political life. And so,
incidentally, are the people being
retired.
For aR of them, I pass along
the thoughts that come to me
from the people who read my
column:
1. Some of the pension plans
now in effect in business firms
are not designed just to give the
employee a pension at age 65. In
stead, they are designed to give
the company a management tool
to retain or control valuable em
ployees during the employee’s
most useful years. Pension plans
that *giw the employee a uniform
increase in his pension every year
to age 65, and that allows the em
ployee to retire voluntarily prior
to 65 without penalty, would seem
to be cm the rise. They may cost
the company more in premiums.
But in the end they may be an
economy because the company
can then be able to allow tired
promotion exercises Friday
morning. Twenty-one class mem
bers received certificates of pro
motion to the 9th"grade at New
berry High School next year.
Those taking part on the pro
gram are shown above. Seated,

and misfit employees to retire
from age 50 on.
2. The normal business firm
goes contrary xo its common
sense, as a rule, when it tells an
employee he must retire at 65 and
then leaves him in his job after
age 64. If the company told the
fellow who was supplying the coal
for its furnace that it wouldn’t
need his coal after next year—and
forever after wouldn’t need his
coal—that fellow just might give
the company during the next year
a few rocks he had dyed black.
(Now I don’t want Indignant let
ters from coal companies on this.
I am just trying to. make a human-
nature point. And it’s a pertinent
one.) If the company has a policy
of retiring people at 65, it should
consider transfering at least some
of its key people to other work
along about age 64.
3. Protection against catastro
phic medical bills is a rapidly
growing concern of retirement
age people. An executive seeking
a “new approach” to retirement
might investigate the possibilities
of extending to retired employees
enough of the group health in
surance to insure them ^gainst
“disaster” illnesses that will wipe
out savings and wreck even a
$500-a-month pension. People now
going into retirement are gravely
concerned about these disaster
illnesses . . . which is why there
is so much support for political
programs on socialized or Social
Security medicine.
