WORLD OUTDOORS
Candidate Outlines Platform
Believing that the people of Newberry have a right
to know how I stand on certain issues, I offer for re-
election as your Mayor on the following platform:
7. / favor the City Manager form of government
Having served for twelve years under the City Maivager
form of government and two years prior to having a City Man
ager, I feel that I am qualified to know' and understand what
this form of management has meant to the City of Newberry
and I believe that the best interests of the City of Newberry
can be served with a City Manager.
2. I shall continue to seek new industry for Newberry
During my tenure of office, it has been my pleasure to work
hand in hand with various groups and organizations in the
State, County and City in seeking to obtain the new industry
which we so direly need and I believe that I am best qualified
to continue in this capacity in attempting to sell our Citj to
industry.
3. I shall continue to work for expansion and im
provement of our recreation program
It is my belief that we need to continue to expand our grow
ing recreation program so that our City can provide more and
better recreational facilities for all of its citizens.
4. I favor a planned beautification program for our
City
I believe that a Committee of Council should be appointed
to work with a Committee from the Civic League and other
interested organizations to plan a constructive and lasting pro
gram for the beautification of our City.
5. / stand for the preservation of the City's land
marks
As a native Newberrian, I believe that we should not destroy
our landmarks of historical interest and value and believe that
everything possible should be done to preserve these landmarks.
6. I favor zoning ordinances and a properly planned
City looking to the future
If re-elected, I will work closely with the newly-appointed
City Planning Commission to see that the future of our City
is planned for and that we have complete and adequate zoning
ordinances at the earliest possible date.
7. / stand for an up-to-date Civil Defense Program
It is my desire to see our City build and develop a civil de
fense Program which is second to none in the State or Country
and one which will meet the needs of our community during
these trying times.
fi. / shall continue to see that every citizen gets value
received for every tax dollar expended
It is my desire to continue to work for the best interests of
all the people in the City of Newberry and to see that their
tax dollar is spent in the wisest manner possible and that they
receive full value for their tax dollar.
9. / stand for fair wages and employment condi
tions for City employees.
It is my desire to continue to see that our City employees
have fair working conditions and are paid adequate salaries for
the services which they render to our City.

■■■ boating enthusiasts don’t have
to be told that recreational boating
had some growing pains in 1960.
It was obvious to anyone who
spent any time at all on a stream,
lake or ocean.
Just how big boating has be
come is evidenced in a year-end
report on the boating industry
issued by the Outboard Boating
Club of America and the National
Association of Engine and Boat
Manufacturers. These folks, who
should know, report that Ameri
cans spent $2,525,000,000 at retail
for new and used boats, motors,
accessories and safety equipment,
fuel, boat shelters, docking and
maintenance. Purchases of
new outboard boats, motors and
boat trailers alone amounted to
$442,000,000.
The number of people using the
waterways more than twice for
pleasure boating jumped 1,125,000
over 1959, the report shows. Total
number of boats used for recrea
tion rose to 8,025,000, of which
4,982,000 are motorboats.
The nation’s recreational fleet
consumed 547,000,000 gallons of
gasoline and 25,200,000 gallons of
lubricating oil
In the U.S. today, there are
more than 1,150 yacht clubs and
boat clubs with waterfront sta
tions, and approximately 4,000
marinas and boat yards. Recrea
tional boating enthusiasts formed
a major market for producers of
sheet plywood, fiberglass and
aluminum.

PRESIDENT—NATIONAL
EDUCATION PROGRAM
Searcy, Arkansas
A NEW FOREIGN POLICY
When President Kennedy ad-
i dressed the nation’s newspaper ed
itors on April 20, he sounded cer
tain clear, true notes which, if he
would continue to develop the
harmony, might result in a posi
tive and strengthened approach to
foreign affairs. In fact, his speech
to the editors showed a more pos
itive approach to achieving nat
ional security than did the report
of his Vienna visit. It is certain
to be hoped that influences from
the left, including apologists for
Castro, have made no headway in
their attempts to weaken the po
sition Mr. Kennedy showed on
April 20.
Our restraint, the President
said, was not inexhaustible. We
would meet ou; “primary obliga T
tions which arc to the security of
our Nation,” even if other coun
tries of this hemisphere should
fail to keep out Communist pene
tration. The Cuban base for a pro
gram of subversion to the South
of us was recognized as a threat
to free nations in this hemisphere.
This was only a few days after
the unhappy attempt at invasion,
and the president was saying that
we would not be “lectured in ‘in-
Instead of showing cowardice,
we must face up to the challenge,
as the President so firmly indicat-
! ed, and “intensify our efforts for
• a struggle in so many ways more
difficult than war.” Given this
kind of leadership and a self-dis
ciplined, enlightened citizenship
following it, America should be
able to lead the world away from
what the President called the
“iron discipline of the mailed
fist.!’
New Responsibilities
Not only should we encourage
the return to Cuba to its people,
we must insist upon observance of
the Monroe Doctrine, or even the
newer version, the “Kennedy Doc
trine.” These strenghtened polic
ies can preserve Latin and South
America from Communist imper
ialism. We cannot permit the Reds
to maintain Cuba as a base of
continual operations for encroach
ments to the South of us. A full
scale program must be launched
to help return Cuba to the side of
freedom. We must move soon in an
intelligent and decisive way, not
for war but for peace and liberty.
And also, throughout the world
for the Communists are vulner

whole peoples. They cannot be j
completely secure in their depre-1

countries against their will in vir- ■
tual captivity. But we cannot al-!

acions in their evil ways, nor to
kill off those who love freedom
in country after country. We must
make their control over subjugat
ed nations as insecure as we can,
for we can no longer afford to

He went on to insist that the
West must now fully recognize
“the insidious nature of the new
and deeper struggle” Eind enlarge
in it on a scale that promises suc
cess. “The complacent, the self-
indulgent, the soft societies are
about to be swept away with the
debris of history. Only the strong,
only the industrious, only the de-
termined, only the courageous who has had monia
only the visionary who determine 4 - ;

Cities to See
Meridian, Mississippi
Meridian, Mississippi, with an estimated population of some
50,000, is the Magnolia State’s second city and the seat of many
important industries. General William Tecumseh Sherman would
be surprised, were he alive today. In an official message to the
Federal War Department during the Civil War he once said.
“Meridian no longer exists.”
Hie sailing has. not always been
smooth for this city that rose
from the ashes of destruction to
became a thriving metropolis. In
past years, railway payrolls
loomed large in the economic
picture of Meridian. Dieseliza-
tion of locomotives and the dis
mantling of shop facilities caused
railways to now supply only a
small percentage of the total pay
roll. This has created a complete
change in the economic picture.
The pattern of the labor face
followed closely the progress of
the city, the farmer giving way
to the railroad mechanic and
finally the farm boy and girl
emerging predominately as in
dustrial workers. Meridian work
ers make sewer clay tile pipe,
bathrobes, hosiery, shirts, wall-
board and wire bound boxes.
They manufacture, treat anc ship
wood products, as well as work
in a large distribution facility,
mixed feed plant, meat packing
hpuses and bakeries. Three new
industries manufacture water
heaters, molded plastics and mal
leable iron castings.
Located almost in the geo
graphical center of the mid-
South, Meridian is the home of
McCain Field, a Naval Auxil
iary Air Station, where cadets
will receive primary training in
flying jet aircraft. The $60,000,000
installation will be commissioned
in 1961, will have 2,500 military
and civilian personnel, with an
estimated annual payroll of
$10,000,000.
Meridian is home of the na
tionally-known “Calf Scramble,”
sponsored by the Chamber of
"Commerce. The spectacular
event attracts many thousands of
visitors in April of each year. It
climaxed by a contest in which
qualified FFA and 4-H boys
“scramble” in an arena for reg
istered calves. This program, in
augurated in 1947, contributes
greatly to the upgrading of beef
cattle in the area. Cattle has be
come one of the principal sources
of farm incopae.
