Last March 17th, the President
cancelled the directives of the
two former administrations which
ordered that Communist propag
anda materials sent by mail into
this country be intercepted at the
port of entry and that the ad
dressees of this mail be notified Ox
its arrival and asked if they wish
ed to receive it and if they had
ordered it.
Under the directives oi Presi
dent Truman and President Eisen
hower about 90 percent of the
addresses of this propaganda ma
terial refused to accept the mater
ial; said they did not want it, did
not order it, and did not know how
they got on such a mailing ’ist.
But on last St. Patrick’s Day,
President Kennedy’s administra
tion ordered this procedure stop
ped and since that time all of this
material has been delivered to
homes, colleges, libraries and oth
er places. Thus Communist pro
paganda delivered into this coun
try has increased tenfold.
The reason given for the can
cellation of the former directive
was that “the program had no in
telligence value and it interfered
with efforts to improve East-
West relations.’’
Just how it can be concluded
that a country sending out tons
of such material has any real de
sire to improve East-West rela
tions is a little difficult to under
stand. It is true, doubtless, that
the free delivery of mail of Com
munist propaganda by our postal
employees will improve East-West
relations on Communist terms,
since it is aimed at our eventual
destruction.
In a report of the House Un-
American Activities Committee
, made on the floor of the House by
Congressman Walter, Chairman of
that Committee, last session of
Congress, it was noted that the
amount of propaganda material
being mailed to this country in
1960 increased 137 percent over
the 1959 figures. During 1960, the
Customs Bureau counted over 14
million packages of this propa- J
ganda material. At one port, New;
Orleans, 300,000 packages of this
material destined for colleges and
schools in this country, were
counted in 1960.
It is a well known fact that
the Communists concentrate on
young people. We may not be able
to do much about this fact, but
we do not have to aid them in this
all-out drive to confuse and poison
the minds of our young people.
Before the last session of Con
gress adjourned, many bills were
introduced which were designed to
bar such material from our mail.
To counteract this proposed legis
lation, the Kennedy Administra
tion called a meeting to propose
some alternative plan. The result
was a proposed bill which- would
authorize the post office depart
ment to post notices in their build
ings around the country stating
cnat such material was entering
me country and that the Commun
ists are sending it in. The benefit
mat would come from this admini
stration-sponsored plan would be
like sending a pow r der pufi when
a sledge hammer is needed. vv e
already know the propaganda is
coming into this country and our
postal employees are being forced
to aid the communist cause by dis
tributing it.
The Kremlin has not made its
great gams in the past few years
wuh bombs. These gains have been
made v ith words. Tropaganda has
oeen the main ammunition of the
Communists. Now we are not omy
permitting this material to be cir
culated throughout this country,
especially in our schools and col
leges, but w r e are helping pay the
cost.
We should no more allow this
propaganda material to be ship
ped into this country for distribu
tion to our youth than we w r ould
permit disease bacteria to be sup
plied to them by mail. It is not
enough to stop the shipment of
this menace from Russia or Com
munist countries. A great percent
age of this propaganda comes
from Communist party groups and
from front organizations in the
Free World. Much of it is printed
both in English and in such other
languages as Hungarian, German,
Ukranian, Czech and Russian,
aimed no doubt at those groups
which came here more recently
from the European countries of
their origin. But wherever it
comes from, and whatever lan
guage it bears, we should be pro
tecting our youngsters from its!
evil effects, rather than subsi-i
dizing it by giving it free delivery-
by our postal employees. I

Nation s Mailmen Are Potent Force
In March of Dimes Disease Battle

- A small, yellow envelope
serving as a harbinger of
an expanding war on crip
pling disease arrives in the
mailboxes of 40 million
an families this week.
H brings the “mailer” of the
1962 March of Dimes, now ded
icated to seeking the answers
to birth defects and arthritis
while continuing its work in
polio. Printed on each envelope
is the confident prophecy,
“Your Dimes Will Do It Again!”
Addressed by tens of thou
sands of volunteers in the
county chapters of The Na
tional . Foundation - March of
Dimes across the nation, this
symbol of scientific research
and total medical care for the
victims of these diseases prom
ises immediate help and future
hope through the generosity of
the American people.
The prediction on the mailer,
“Your Dimes Will Do It Again!”
is a reference, of course, to
development of the Salk anti
polio vaccine and to the later
Sabin oral vaccine. Both were
made possible, as were the
medical care and rehabilitation
of many of those paralyzed by
polio, by public contributions
to the March of Dimes. Many
millions of the dollars so well
used to bring about these ac
complishments came to local
chapters through similar mail
ers in years past.
Recipients of these mailers,
including those in distant Ha
waii and Alaska, were urged
by March of Dimes leaders this
week to return the mailers to
local chapters as promptly as
possible.
As one chapter chairman
said: “Aside from financial out
lays needed urgently for re
search and for total medical
care of victims. The National
Foundation - March of Dimes
must expand its already exist
ing national network of chap
ter-supported clinics helping
those stricken by birth defects
or by arthritis.
“The figures give you an idea
of the appalling magnitude of

the problem. Each year in this
country, at least 250,000 infants
are born with significant birth
defects and 21,000 die. This we
must prevent.
“As to rheumatoid arthritis,
fully 30,000 children and ado
lescents are crippled. Alto
gether, more than 11 million
Americans suffer from the ar
thritic diseases. This must not
happen in the future.
“When we say to the public
that ‘Your Dimes Will Do It
Again!’ it’s not an empty boast.
We mean precisely that. Some
folks believed that the answer
to polio would never be found.
But our scientists never aban
doned hope and, because of
March of Dimes contributions
from those who believed as we
did, the answer was found.
Tens of thousands of lives have
been saved since then, and tens
of thousands saved from crip
pling.
“None of us, scientists in
cluded, knows when the an
swers will be found to birth
defects and arthritis. We just
know, as we knew with con
fidence before the Salk vaccine,
that those answers will be
found provided sufficient pub
lic support is forthcoming.”
On Sunday afternoon, December
17, 1961 from three until five
o’clock, the children of Mr. and
Mrs. Holley H. Hipp of Saluda en
tertained their friends and rela
tives at the home of Mr. and-Mrs.
Ray E. Goff (Virginia Hipp) with
a drop-in honoring them on their
50th wedding anniversary.
Mrs. Hipp was charming in a
dress of blue lace over taffeta
with matching shoes and gloves.
Her corsage was of yellow mums
tied with matching ribbon.
Greeting the guests at the door
was Grady Lee Halfacre, son-in-
law of the couple. Presenting the
guests to the honored couple was

ing with Mr. and Mrs. Hipp were
their daughters, Mrs. Grady Lee

(Virginia) Goff; and their son,
Rev. John Gerald Hipp.
Favors of gold bells, tied with
gold ribbon and gold net were pin
ned on each guest by Joyce Shaw,
a great-niece.
Adorning the mantle in the liv
ing room was a lovely arrange
ment of gold magnolia leaves, gold
bells and gold balls surrounded by
gold candles in crystal holders.
Miss Janice Goff, a granddaugh
ter, kept the register in a gold sa- 1
tin book appropriately inscribed
for the occasion. Janice also in
vited the guests to the dining room
for refreshments.
The dining table w r as covered
with a gold satin cloth overlaid by
gold net with a deep frill of net
circling the edge of the table. The
buffet was lovely wdth an ar
rangement of yellow glads and
mums in a brass container, flank
ed by triple gold candleholders
with gold candles.
Mrs. John G. Hipp, daughter-in-
law of the couple, served punch
from a crystal bowl at one end of
the table. The opposite end of the
table w f as graced with a beauti
ful three-tiered anniversary cake
iced in white with green leaves
and gold rosebuds. The top tier
featured a gold figure “50” encir
cled by lily-of-the-valley an wed
ding bells.
Assisting Mrs. Hipp in serving
punch, cakes squares iced in white
with green leaves and small gold
rosebuds, gold buttermints and

Christmas Meet
Enjoyed By
UDC Members
The meeting of the Drayton
Rutherford chapter UDC was a
most enjoyable one. There was a
good attendance of members, and
Mrs. Ralph Baker’s home was so
profusely and effective^ decorat
ed in its holiday greens, red car
nations and poir.settias that every
one felt the Christmas spirit. A
beautiful Madonna in an appro
priate setting but enhanced this
feeling.
For the past several years it has
been the chapter’s privilege, for
the December meeting, to have
Miss Bailie Lee Cromer’s elemen
tary group of the C of C and a
few others give a conhination pro
gram of Confederate history and
Christmas recitations and carols.
They begin with salutes to the
three flags, followed by a Psalm
in unisoii. Each one knew his or
her part and all was done beauti
fully without a word from Miss
Cromer. At its close they were
excused to enjoy the refreshments.
With Mrs. Hunter Brown at the!
organ and Mrs. J. E. Wiseman,
Chairman of the music committee,
tc lead, several Christmas Carols
were sung.
It was unusual for five State
UDC officers to be present at a
chapter meeting and these were
presented: Mrs. Archie Watson,
President; Mrs. Harry Wilson, 3rd
Vice President: Mrs. L. H. Wright,
Editor News Sheet, all from Col
umbia; Mrs. A. T. Neely, 2nd
Vice President, Newberry, also
President, of the Calvin Crozier
chapter ;and Mrs. Elmer Shealy,
Corresponding Secretary, and a
member of Drayton Rutherford
chapter. Mrs. Watson spoke for
herseT’ and the others for the in
vitations to be present and es
pecially to have enjoyed the pro
gram by the children after having
heard much of this annual feature
in the chapter, complimenting Miss
Cromer for her fine work with
the children.
All business was postponed un
til the February meeting. The
members and visitors were then
invited to the two dining rooms
to tables beautifully appointed in
red and green where already were -
cups of hot coffee and plates
served with a variety of appetiz
ing food. All agreed that it had
been a delightful meeting. Mrs.
Ralph Pair Baker and Mrs. Wal*
Mrs. L. A. Bobb
