COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR When great Statesmen of the Kennedy type advise us to maintain order, keep the peace and smile joyfully at the Freedom Riders what do they mean? The so-called Freedom Riders are men and women who set out deliberately to violate the laws of Southern States. And they purpose to violate sacred traditions which are the basis of the laws. The so-called Freedom Riders are conspirators, being in deliberate conspiracy to violate our laws. And, according to the Kennedy tribe and the champions of their regime the resentful Southerners are violators of law and the conspiring invaders deserve protection. That is in keeping with the gen eral intelligence (or stupidity) of some moon-gazing people who have no business of their own and want to attend to the business of others. All this twaddle about racial discrimination in the South, where, but for the trouble-makers peace and tranquility reign, while in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chi cago and Detroit there is flagrant rowdyism and frequent crimes against men and women. Now and then I turn to Sam Weimer for inspiration. My friend Weimer is like an embattled gladiator of old, ready to throw his lance at the enemies of our Economic order. And he not only repells the enemy but rides out on his war horse to meet him. I’ve borrowed this from Mr. Weimer because it is refresh ing to find something cheap, even cheaper than years ago. I feel as exuberant as I did recently when a mechanic-friend of mine, after looking over my car said that he could not re turn it to its pristine condition (like a Rolls Royce) and that I did not owe him anything!! Friend, this is a day of mir acles still. But hear now what friend Weimer says for our gladsome benefit: "We Ve known it for a long time—that South Carolina is a grand place to live! And now we have some figures that prove we live better ELECTRICALLY than does Mr. and Mrs. Average America! According to the 1960 Annual Re port of the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company—resi dential customers of SCE&G used an average of 5,284 kilo- watt hours of electricity during 1960, for which they paid an average of 2.16 cents per kilowatt hour. Compared with the national average, SCE&G customers paid 13 percent LESS for electricity—while using 39 percent more service! Yes, the living is easy in the Palmetto State—and ELECT RICITY helps make it so!” A savings institution out West publishes tracts and book lets of happy vein and here is something of the latest inspir ation. "SOMETHING OLD—Wedding day adages and charms. If a bride carries one of her bridegroom’s love letters in a pocket during the marriage ceremony, she will have his en tire love during life.” "A betrothed couple must not sit with a newly married pair or they will all be unlucky.” "If a girl carries a piece of a bride’s cake in her pocket un til the honeymoon is over, she will be married before the dress is worn out.” "If a marriage ceremony is witnessed by the family cat, it will bring good luck.” "If the officiating clergyman makes a mistake, someone present is opposed to the match.” "Early prosperity is promised if oats are thrown on the bridal party.” "But lifelong prosperity and financial security are assured when newlyweds start out with a savings account, and keep It fetowing through regular additions.” "As a guardian of savings, our association is proud of its participation in countless weddings in this community. We elfcfehd our very best wishes to the new ‘Mr. and Mrs.’ sav ers who will be joining us this nuptial season.” AS you see, this concern tips its hand at the last: it is out for business. As you have noted the Savings brother chirps: But life- lohg prosperity and financial security are assured when new lyweds start out with a savings account and keep it growing. now: let’s tell that brother something of the sober troth. After that honeymoon the couple will face such a debt that it will look like President Kennedy’s dreams; and poor old Dad is as flat as a pancake and hbw lohg it will be before he can throw off enough wtftiing debts to see daylight. A very sober thinker contributes an excellent study for our ttieditation. Some years ago, possibly fifteen, I met Roger Peace in his office in Greenville and asked if he had thought about the threatened menace of Communism. Mf. Peace, as you may know, is not only a former United States Senator, but owns and manages two great daily pa pers and several radio stations. In the course of our conver sation Mr. Peace told me that our friend, James F. Byrnes, had told him in great detail the manipulations of the Russian I IT 1 Communists, as Mr. Byrnes had seen those perils at close ' MltlllcS OOnOlcQ range. What amazes me most about intelligent Americans is that they can’t recognize Socialism or Coipmunism when it is ih vogue here at home. Just so long as it is not called Socialism or Communism our people seem ready to be beguiled, bam boozled, befuddled, mislead, and enthusiastic at the same time—a little like being happy in jail because allowed to eat with the jailor. “Liberty is something that is never won for keeps. The Mr. and Mrs. Frank K. Jones were honored June 18 when their children entertained at a recep-, tion in the educational building of O’Neal Street Methodist Churchy in recognition of their golden wed-' ding anniversary. Over 400 guests called between $:30 and 5:30. nature of the threat to free, institutions ygries; but it is an , Th e couple was married in 1911 unusual and happy age that does not face any kind of threat. in the church psrsona * e - Mra - ‘There was a time when the principal enemies of liberty were empires, entrenched in tradition and ruling with the aid of big armies and police forces, and upstart military dic tators, of whom Napoleon was the greatest and most spec tacular. Today this picture has considerably changed. World War I ended three empires and that had long loomed large in the power politics of Europe—the Russian, the German, the Austrian. The aftermath of World War II was the rapid liquidation of the overseas empires that had been maintain^ ed by countries democratically governed at home—the Brit ish, the French, the Dutch, the Belgian. The old-fashioned figure of the ‘man on horse-back,’ who seizes power mainly for the sake of power, has also become pretty obsolete. Yet freedom, in the United States and in countries with similar self-governing methods of administration, is now un der seige from twin threats. Communist attack from with out and softening up and deterioration from within. The first of these threats is pretty obvious to anyone who does not suffer from acute astigmatism of the left eye in politics. The second is subtler, harder to spot, but perhaps no less dangerous. The spectacular rise of Communism in the Twentieth Cen tury suggest a parallel with the emergence of Islam in the Seventh. Only 50 years ago Communism was thought of as a dreamy ideal, o£ impractical idealists who started experi*/ ments in cbmmtLnal living that almost invariably broke up in quarrels and, disillusionment. Today Communism—in practice to be sure, is in control of the whole vast Eurasian land mass, from the Baltic to the Pacific. This is the area which the British geo-political thinker, Halford Mackinder, regarded as the ‘heartland’ of the ‘world island.’ Power is somewhat uneasily shared by two centers, Moscow and Peiping. The Soviet Union has at tached to itself a string of satellite states, thereby pushing its political and military frontier deep into the historic con fines of Europe. It is only lack of power and opportunity that has so far restricted Red China to the domination of such dependencies as Tibet and North Korea; a cycle of Chin ese imperialist expansion is far from unlikely.” “The United States is still reasonably free from the threat of direct invasion; it would be a little fantastic to imagine Russian speaking commisars giving orders in Washington and New York. Nor is a nuclear holocaust probable, provided the United States keeps its guard up, offensively and defen sively, and assuming that the Soviet rulers retain their san ity. But, unless Communists cease to think and behave like” Communists, we must face the prospect of an indefinitely long period of needling, harassment, thrusts at weak spots in the defensive cordon around the Communist empires.” “What the Soviet rulers, acting in more or less close co operation with their Chinese colleages, seem to have in mind is not a direct storm of what they would call the fort ress of capitalism, in North America and Western Europe. It is rather a series of sapping operations, conducted in econ omically retarded parts of the world,—a Laos nibbled off here, a Cuba brought within the Soviet orbit there, a series of operations designed to withdraw more and more territory from the political and economic influence of the West. “At the same time the free society in America and other Western countries is being subjected to an internal erosion that might be taking place even if Communism had never conquered Russia and China. By far the finest asset and sur est guaranty of the free society is the independent, self- reliant citizen who asks from the government nothing ex cept that it c off his back and give him a reasonable chance to earn a living for himself and his family and provide for his years of retirement. “This independent citizen is the forgotten man of America today. Unless the trend toward having the Federal govern ment take over one function after another is not halted only but sharply reversed, this independent citizen will become extinct and an alarming similarity will develop between the American society and the Communist. In both, the indivi dual will be more and more helpless to look out for himself, more and more dependent on the state, a cog in a huge im personal machine. “It has been said that all we leam from history is that men never learn from history. Otherwise there would be more alarm and more demand for practical action as two symp toms of the decline of great human societies in the past, pro liferation of bureaucratic agencies and extremely high levels of taxation, have appeared in America. . . ” Exceeds Quota A final tally of contributions to the Cancer Crusade in Newberry County reveals that Newberrians have again given generously to this cause, exceeding the 15 cents per capita asked by the National Cancer Society. A complete report of the local crusade was issued this week by Mrs. Myra Addy, Crusade treas urer. She reported that $4,983.32 was collected in Newberry County, and expressed the Cancer Society^ appreciation to all citizens who gave so generously of their time and money for the cause. Mrs. Iris Rodelsperger, health and safety chairman for the New berry Business and professional Women’s Club, and Mrs. Satira Lake, president of the Newberry County Home Demonstration Council, city land county crusade chairmen, respectively ,also wish ed to fexpi&s their appreciation to all who Worked so hhrd knd dili gently and contributed to the cru- sade. “We are sure the drive has been successful in a monetary manner, and we trust our educational pro gram has enlightened many to the danger signals of cancer,” stated the chairmen. Thanks were expressed by the County Unit of the Cancer Society to the 3&PW Club, Home Demon stration Clubs, Mrs. Gloria Scott and Mrs. Lillie Pratt, co-chairmen of the colored division; newspap ers and radio station and others who cooperated to make the drive a success.

In most in stances the coiffse of action is clear. However, in just as many it is not A letter from Mrs. L. G. B. typifies this. She states, ‘Th a recent check up I was found to have gallstones. I have never had a gall bladder attack but my physician advises surgery. I bad always thought that it was possible to diaeolve them. Is this true? Does diet have any bearing on gallstones?” fronted with this problem; gall stones are present in a large per- ef people ever M. In Mrs. L. G. B. the jocWssi la hard health and mental eatleok. The case for removing atones rests on the fact that they can cause complete blockage of bile flow, which then accumulates in the liver, producing damage. Once tiie liver is so injured it is difficult to achieve complete healing. The case against removing stones depends on the degree of risk inherent in the operation. For example, the question off toler ance to anesthesia, stress of op eration end possible postoperative complications moat be considered. £a&h case most be evaluated with these In mind. No answer to cover all situations can be given. Thus far it is not possible to dissolve stones. The question of diet is very important in gall stones since high fat and fried meals tend to aggravate. In pa tients with stones, even without symptoms, it is wise to follow a diet low in fats and fried stuffs. irlfti DO IT YOURSELF! DISILLUSIONMENT with the 11; e n d toward. centralisation of power ip Washington la wide spread. People are increaafngly alarmed at the control and regu lation by the Nitional Govern ment of more aiid more bapdeta of their everyday lives and activ ities. Probably the most often- asked question in my mail is: “What can I, as an indivdual, do to stop the growth of power in Washington and the growing in roads on my freedom?” THERE ARE ALMOST 180 million people in the United States, and when considered from the standpoint of the hwpnrt could have on >. national policy, a lone pen on, or ovpn n small Jrrotip, ap- fens: netstone of onr Republic i « local ““ go * or n- in*nt; but how .Aar' - XA. to preserve it against the awesome power al ready amassed in the nation's capital?

IpMU- ically delegated powers in the Constitution.' LONG AGO, in a day of a much wiser and more judicial Su preme Court, a decision, Wickard v. Filburn (1942), included this practical observation: “It is hard ly a lack of due process for gov ernment to xesrulal subsidizes.” The moral is &ui$ you get money from Washington, you get control along with it. THE POWER concentrated in the National Government didn’t just happen. It piled up there as a result of > the money poured out on demand of many, many people, who found Si an soalur way tham solving tbfirhwa preblUms.
