COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS Richland county voted for Nixon —it was warmly sympathetic to Eisenhower, so why does it seern so strange that there should be a candidate for State office on the Republican ticket? By the way, many counties of South Carolina voted Republican in recent years, but the old-line Democrats still control the party machinery.. If we consider the popular vote in many of our counties we might conclude that in those counties the Democratic party is composed principally of office holders and others of political ambition. Why? The Republican party was once the refuge of the colored population and that was the line of demarkation. Since Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and J i m Farley established a new dynasty the Democratic party has been the colored citizen’s party. And, today, under Mr. Kennedy and his Brother—the two Irish brothers from Boston—the Democratic par ty is more than ever the refuge of the colored citizen. What is a Democrat? If any man can accurately define either a Democrat or a Republican he will do something like splitting the atom. We have Harry Byrd and Harry Goldwater—Byrd a Democrat and Goldwater a Republican. But they are brothers under the skin. And then Strom Thurmond comes in as an Independent. Studying the Political operation, the give-away began gloriously under Mr. Roosevelt and then was enthusiastically continued by Mr. Truman and then was heavily en dorsed by Mr. Eisenhower and now is-magnified by Mr. Kennedy. As I see it, a program that is worthy of study may be presented simply and briefly as follows, namely, to wit: 1. Put all property on the tax books. Cut off all preferences,, ex emptions and hand-outs. Eliminate all government op erations in business and call on the citizens to invest and build ! with private capital. Put all cit izens and groups of citizens under the same legal principles. Stop immediately all the for eign aid foolishness, along with other hand-outs. Take from the neck of business the strangling grip of the Nation al Bureaucracy. Reduce the Income tax on busi ness and individuals and do that sharply. I do not agree fully with those who oppose income taxes on prin ciple. As I see it, the most equit able tax is a part of-earnings, but be reasonable; don't try ‘ to ham string operations confiscatorially. I prefer a moderate income tax to all the myriad franchise exact ions w'hich bear unfairly when earnings are small An income tax, ^properly inifcms- ed, would support-the government from Prosperity, instead of’levies on small earnings or deficits. But bereasonable: a 52 per cent on Business incomes is- more then half the earnings;^ and the Indi vidual income tax, rising to 97 per cent is indefensilSIy” ridiculous as well as crushing. , Let Mr. Kennedy ,roek in^his chair and think earnestly 6u the foundations of a prosperous na tion: he can’t build prosperity on reckless spending and discrimina tions. What makes a nation great? an opulent, benevolent Santa? No! A nation is only the -5 aggre gate of all its citizens and is built on individual energy, thrift, faith and dedication. We can’t hope to achieve real prosperity and strength from a citizenship on tiie dole. • -v >* + -a. In the hectic scare or emergency; of the moment the call for billions of dollars of additional spending should be met by postponing, or abandoning every new project and every expansion not immediately related to National defense. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, one of our battle heroes, now in business, spoke to the point in a recent address in New York. Hear him: We began to lose this war when we gave to an assortment of in ter - ational associations the con trol of our foreign policy. Look at Cuba. The enemy landed there, made it an armed camp, and bra zenly declared a fight to the death against us. And what do we do? Nothing. We renounced the Monroe Doctrine, we take our cue from neutral international agen cies, and refuse to fight back. On the eve on the Castro revo lution we were ready to send helicopters to protect our citizens in Cuba. But someone discovered that our commitment to the U.N. prevented our protecting Ameri can lives and property in foreign lands so we called off our hel-i copters. No, the world will not respect our rights until we show the world that we shall defend them.” Castro did not create this situa tion. It began 28 years ago when we recognized a handful of band its as the lawful government of Russia. The ‘flaming liberals' had just come to power in this country and they knew they could not consolidate their power if the Communist revolution in Russia collapsed. From the day we recog nized the Communist regime, the liberals have controlled our for eign policy for the purpose of es tablishing liberalism as the dom inant theme of the Federal gov ernment. The liberals were not stopped, because conservatism was in full retreat in 1933. And for the next 20 years conservatism did not mount an effective opposition. It merely met the liberals half-way. It was the trend of the times, we were told. Stick to the middle of the road. Republicans have to be as liberal as Democrats. Conserv atism is dead. Driven before the wind of rhetocis we drifted—and drifted—always a little more to the left.” And then he takes another look at the trend. Mark you: Captain Rickenbacker speaks as one who risked his life for his country and he speaks as a veteran whose pat riotism is not sullied, one who loves his native land. ‘‘The idea of limiting the power of government found its way into the constitution of every state and into the Federal Constitution itself. And we know how well it worked. For a century and a half, under this limited government, where individual citizens have been able to assert their rights in courts of law, the people have been free. And now, by some queer twist of language, the modern liberals are those who ceaselessly strive to pile up the power of govern ment in Washington. Bureaucrats from Washington swoop like vul- Dr. Burr Is Promoted Dr. William W. Burr, Jr., has been promoted to the position of Chief of the Medical Branch of the U. S. Atomic Energy Comm ission’s Division of Biology and Medicine. Dr. Burr received his Ph.D de gree in biochemistry from the Un iversity of Illinois (1951) and his M.D. from the University of Tex as Southwestern Medical School in 1960. Prior to joining the staff of the j division in January 1961, he was engaged in teaching and research es in the area of protein and liquid biochemistry at Southwes tern Medical school. Dr.Burr is a mem ber of the American Society of Biological Chemists and the Am erican Institute of Nutrition. Dr. Burr, his wife and their four children are living at 1211 Gladstone Drive, Rockville, Md. Mrs. Burr is the former Cornelia Clary, daughter of Mrs. Mamie L. Clary of Newberry. Mrs. Dennis, 79, Died Friday Mrs. Thompsie Bedenbaugh Den nis, 79, died Friday afternoon at Newberry County Hospital. She had been in declining health for a number of years. Mrs. Dennis was born and rear ed in the St. Luke’s section of Newberry County and w r as the daughter of the late Hawkins and Malissa Kelly Dennis. She had made her home in Newberry for a number of years but was a mem ber of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church near Prosperity. Mrs. Dennis is survived by her husband, J. Carl Dennis of New berry, three sons, Francis A. Den nis, James H. Dennis, both of Newberry, and Robert Z. Dennis of West rColumbia; one daughter, Mrs. Mary D. Boozer of West Co lumbia; three sisters, Mrs. A. K. Epting of Greenwood, Mrs. Bennie Epting, Mrs. Tiller Connelly, both of Prosperity; 11 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at 3 p.m. Sunday from St. Luke’s Lutheran Church with Dr. Thomas F. Suber and Rev.‘H. A. McCul lough conducting the service. In terment was in the church ceme tery. Arrangements Are Made For School Pupils Ed Beck, Superintendent of the City Elementary schools, has made the following announcement to all parents: On September the 5th, all stu dents in the Newberry Eiemen- tary schools will report to their respective schools as follows: 1. All students who formerly attended the Oakland school will report to Speers Street school. 2. All students who formerly attended the Mollohon school will report to Boundary Street school. 3. All students who formerly attended the West End school will report back to West End school in grades 1, 2 and 3. Special ed ucation students will also report to West End. 4. All students from the West End school who will be in the fifth grade will report to Bound ary street school. 5. All sixth grade students in Lie city will report to the Mollo hon school. This will be in effect until the new- buildings at Bound ary and Speers Street have been completed. These students will have the same program at Mollo hon as was set up for them in the new schools, so it will only be a matter of changing buildings. 6.All students in the 7th and 8th grades will report to Junior High school. Parents are asked to please not request a transfer from one school to another, as some of the classes will be overcrowded. “After much thought and planning, we feel that this is the best solution,” he said, “and we are asking for your full cooperation in this change-over period.” THE COMING CITY ELECTION! A certain group in the City of Newberry, it seems, is trying to make this election one be tween Labor Unions and the citizens of Newberry. This same group is also seeking to in ject the City Manager Form of Government in the election with the same issue. They are say ing that Unions are against this form of government. So that the issues might be cleared up as far a^ Organized Labor is concerned, we are plac ing this ad in the paper. ’’ i ! * We are members of Organized Labor and we know' that it has helped us as workers. We are as proud to be members of Organized Labor as those who belong to the Chamber of Commerce are proud to be members of their organization, or as members of any other organi zation. It seems that there are some people in Newberry that are constantly belittling and fight ing Labor Unions when if they stop to think, practically everything is organized and most all of them are seeking the same benefits for their members as Labor L : nions seek for theirs, such as better working conditions, fair wages, and better every-day conditions, etc. As members of Organized Labor w r e are first Americans and citizens of Newberry and are proud of both. We know that Organized Labor has helped us in our every-day life, and we feel sure that the City of Newberry has benefitted because we are organized. One of the earty goals of Organized Labor in America, was to give the right to all citizens to VOTE in an election, and elect people to represent them in Local, State, and Federal Govern ments. ■' ’ Since this right was won by Organized Labor, should VOTE. we are still of the opinion that all citizens Therefore, we are urging all of the citizens of Newberry to go to the polls on election day and VOTE, for the candidate of their choice. JUST BE SURE AND VOTE. As the members of Organized Labor we believe that the citizens also have a right to vote on how they will be governed. That is all that is involved in the City Manager Form of Govern ment. If the citizens of Newberry think that this is the best form of government they can vote for it. If they think that it is not the best form of government they can vote against it. But we believe that they have a right to vote on this matter. It seems as if this small group was trying to deprive the citizens of their right to VOTE. Police Arrests Made In July Arrests by the city police de partment for July were as follows —intoxication 20; improper license plates, petit larceny, running stop sign, public nuisance, resisting ar rest, no license plate, failing to yield right of way, Sec. 10-52, driving too fast for conditions, as sault and battery, breaking glass in street, reckless driving and de fective brakes, one each; running red light, driving intoxicated, dis turbing the peace and possession of illegal liquor, two each. PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Huffman and Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Hawkins and children, Bob and Bruce, re turned to their home in Newberry last Sunday after two weeks va cation at Myrtle Beach. The Huff man’s were joined there during the weekends by their other son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Hooper and children, Cheryl and Sara, of Charleston. Mrs. Arnold Butler and daugh ter, Ada Beth, spent last Thurs day night with Mrs. Butler’s bro ther and sister-in-law, Mr and Mrs. Sheeley Setzler and daughter Gayle, on DeLoach avenue.

Federal regulations, decrees, re ports, and questionnaires find their way into every business of fice, every home, every school and every church in the land. Liberals may object to this picture of their w'ork, but I would overrule their objections. The liberals would sweep aside the constitutional restraints upon government in a blind rush to supply food, clothes, houses, and financial security from birth to death for everybody—not only in this country, but all around the world. Conservatives recognize the importance of material goods, but w r e know one truth that is still more important—that man does not live by bread alone.” Dairy Farmers PLAN TO ATTEND ONE OF THE BARN MEETINGS TO BE HELD NEXT Monday ,Tuesday, and Wednesday AUGUST 21, 22, 23 For complete schedule of meetings, see County Agent's column in this paper or call County Agent's office.
