For instance back in 1904, during the adminis tration of Theodore Roosevelt, an Arab brigand named Raisuli was keeping far-off Morocco in a state of turmoil and lawlessness. The reigning Sultan, Abdul-Aziz IV, was either unwilling or unable to handle this outlaw. In the course of his rampages Raisuli seized one Ion Pedicaris, a naturalized American citizen, and announced that he would hold him for ran- .wom. President Theodore Roosevelt immediately ordered a United States warship to Morocco and di rected Secretary of State John Hay to send the now famous tel egram to the Sultan: “Pericardis alive or Raisuli dead.” The Sultan immediately released Perdicaris and put him aboard the nearby American warship. This histori- eal event speaks for itself. In 1904, an American passport commanded and received the full support of the United States Gov ernment. Fifty-four years later history repeated itself, but with a difference. In nearby Cuba, during 1058, a bearded bandit called Fi del Castro accused the United States of favoring the friendly, established and recognized gov ernment of Cuba which Castro was desperately trying to over throw. To register his protest, Castro kidnapped 45 United States citi zens, including sailors and Mar ines from the Naval base at Guan tanamo. But in this case our gov ernment sent no telegrams to Cu ba, nor did it dispatch any war ships to pick up our captured cit izens. We did precisely nothing about Castro because, Mr. Loftus Becker, legal counselor for our State Department, ruled that un der our ommitments in the Unit ed Natiois Charter we can no longer justify military interven- vention to protect American lives or American property. With this ruling from Washington, and with the help of an arms embargo which we enforced against his op ponent, President Batista, Castro marched on to complete power over Cuba, seizing more than a billion dollars worth of American- owned property along the way. The difference between our of fer ive protection of Perdicaris in 1904 and our neglect of American lives and property in Cuba, the Congo, Iraq and elsewhere, is our current reliance upon the principle of “collective security.” Many involved and multilateral international agreements now pre vent the United States govern ment from moving on its own ini tiative with its own resources to protect the rights of American citizens in foreign countries. In 1904, we had not won two world wars; we had not contrived the nuclear bomb nor had we dis tributed 85 billion dollars of the American taxpayer’s money i n “foreign aid.” But the American flag and the American citizen who gave it allegiance were highly res pected all over the world. In 1933 we changed the direct ion of our foreign policy and ex tended diplomatic recognition to the Red pirates who had taken over the ship of State in Russia at the end of World War I. From that time on there has been a powerful and ruthless con spiratorial force at large in the world determined to destroy Am erican power and influence as the necessary prelude to the Commun ist enslavement of all mankind. Perdicaris was lucky to have lived before the days of the U. N. and the O. A. S. When his modern prototype is caught in Morocco or elsewhere now, he loses his civil rights and becomes a cumulative statistic in the mad international ritual of multilateral collectivism. The United States grew to be great in this world by nourishing the principle of private property, by encouraging the virtue of per sonal, not governmental, charity and by cherishing the strength and power of our sovereign national in dependence. The United Nations peace organ ization, which put together hope fully sixteen years ago with the helpful assistance of our top offi cial functionary, Alger Hiss, is now a forum for perpetual war against us by our Communist en emies. Whatever may have been our justification at its inception, it becomes ever mor: obvious that the United States is contributing to its own destruction every day we remain under the domination of the United Nations organiza tion. While there is still time to take control of our own destinies, we should take a long look at our U.N. commitments and sec how we can get back to the leadership we had in 1904. Inquest Friday In Price Death An inquest has been scheduled for Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. to investigate the cause of death of Dolphus Price, according to Coro ner George R. Summer.

The dividend checks will be paid on the anniversary date of the policies this year as is the usual custom. The VA last year speed ed up the payments in an effort to aid the national economy at the request of the President. Hugh H. Henderson, Contact Officer at the Columbia VA Re gional Office, explained that the anniversary date is the anniver sary of the date each individual policy became effective. By con sulting his policy each veteran would be able to tell when to ex pect his dividend check. Approximately $225 million will be divided among almost 4.5 mil lion World War II veterans hold ing participating National Service Life Insurance (NSLI) policies. Some 225,000 World War I veter ans who hold participating U. S. Government Life Insurance (US GLI) policies will receive approxi mately $16 million in dividends. Dividends will average $50 for World War II veterans and $70 for veterans of World War I. The annual dividends are prim arily a return to policyholders of part of the premiums they have paid since the death rate of veter ans continues to be less than es timated in the mortality tables up on which the premium rates were set by law. w. 1 * • v .

An interesting program on In come Tax Management will be held. Income Tax and Social Se curity tips will be given by repre sentatives of these offices. Each of you is certainly con cerned with income taxes and some of you with social security. Don’t forget to come out next Thursday night, 7:30 p.m. at the Newberry High School. Get Good Cotton Seed Get your cotton seed early this year and have it tested for germi nation. Some of the seed on the market is not of top quality, even though in some cases it may be advertised as such. Get your seed now and you’ll have time to have it tested. Be certain you buy from only reliable seed sources. No one that sells cotton seed will object to this germination test, in fact most reliable companies will have it done before they attempt to sell it to you. Don’t come up with a half stand caused by poor quality seed. That’s poor business and a costly mistake that many make each year. Varieties recommended by Clem- son College this year are as fol lows: Coker 1400 WR, Auburn 56, Rex, Dixie King, All-in-One, Em pire WR, and Plains. Pecan Trees Still time to set them out. Just don’t over crowd your trees. For ty feet apart is close enough. Dig the hole deep and wide enough to give the pecan tree a chance. At least 24 inches wide at the bottom and 36 to 40 inches deep. The hole at the top may be wider than 24 . inches. Place enough top soil in the hole so that when the tree is in place it stands 2 inches peeper than when it was in the rfursery. Use water to wash the soil in the hole around the roots; this eliminates air pockets that may be near the root system. If you do not wish to wash the soil into place you may put ap proximately 6 inches of soil in at a time and pack the soil with your feet, keeping the roots in their natural position. Do not let them become pressed downward alongside the tap root. Keep add ing 6 inches of soil and packing until you are 4 to 6 inches of the original level. This will leave a basin for holding water. Water thoroughly then and every 7 to 10 days throughout the summer unless it rains this often. Immediately after transplanting, prune 1-3 to 1-2 off the tops of the trees. This brings the top growth more in balance with the root system which received a heavy pruning when dug from the! nursery. Apply 3 pounds of 5-10-10 or 4- 12-12 fertilizer the last of Febru ary or first of March. Each year thereafter apply 2 pounds for each year of age or each inch of diam- ete' of the tree. The above practices, if followed will assist you in having more suc cess with pecan tree livability. Pastures Topdress all permanent past ures this month with 500-600 lbs. of 4-12-12 per acre, or as recom mended by soil tests. Topdress small grains that are to be harvested for grain. Overhaul your mechanical weed- control equipment and purchase necessary chemicals. Get your pasture fences repaired first thing tomorrow. Have You Made A Will? Do you know or care what hap pens to your property after your death ? If you haven’t made a will, you are not very considerate of your family. If you die without a will, and you and your wife were the own ers and have no children, the sur viving widow wouid get only one- half of the estate, and the other half goes to the father, mother, brothers, and sisters and other relatives of the deceased. Why not determine how your property will be divided at your death ? Make a will today. For more information ask for Circular HD 145 at the County Agent’s Office. 4-H Safety Again this year, 4-H boys throughout Newberry County are performing a service to their county, community and home. They are on an accident ha zard hunt again this year. Last year many hazards were found and removed by these boys. CHICAGO — Traffic accidents on the island of Bjarkoey, Norway, rose sharply in 1961 to an unpre cedented rate equal to 5,000 acci dents per 10,000 registered ve hicles. The Arctic island has an area of five square miles, a population of 730, one road, one truck, and one station wagon, the island’s only taxi. The truck and the taxi col lided at a bend in the road. This is one of the tales in an article “Freak Squeaks of 1961.” the National Safety Council’s an nual roundup of odd and unusual accidents. It appears in the Feb ruary issue of Traffic Safety mag azine .published by the Council. Water started a fire in Laramie, Wyo. The water was in a gallon jug in a station wagon, and the sun shining through it ignited a sleeping bag. Heat from the fire caused a gasoline lantern to ov erflow, adding fuel to the fire. Richard Matheney badly damag ed his car when he swerved off Il linois highway 460 to avoid hitting a deer. He got another auto to continue his business. A short time later he ran off the same highway and into a fence—to avoid hitting another deer. Matheney’s deer were not the only animals involved in unusual accidents. Mail carrier Buck Hen son of Greer, S. C., was trying to shoo away a barking dog when a small boy' ran from a nearby house and bit the postman on the arm. And John Hohnson got two bites for one when he hooked a catfish in Chestuee Creek near Cleveland, Tenn. The 20-pound fish bit him when he landed it.

Repairs necessary to the dented hood and smashed windshied were estimated at $150. The year’s most unusual snack was not enjoyed by a Marietta, Ga., housewife. While eating wat ermelon, she swallowed a yellow jacket wasp which flew into her mouth. It stung her throat on the way down. Policemen — and women — had their troubles too. George R. Mis- chner was directing traffic in New York City when he stepped backwards into an open manhole. He managed to grab the edge of the hole to keep from falling 15 feet to the bottom. And Police Matron Albina Jenko in Milwau kee, Wis., dislocated her jaw when she yawned at 3:30 one morning. Baseball stars added to the list of unusual mishaps. Don New- combe, former major leaguer pitching for Spokane in the Paci fic Coast League, was scheduled to go against Hawaii in Honolulu. He couldn’t make it after he re ceived an eye injury when he bumped into a palm tree. And Al vin Dark, manager of the San Francisco Giants, had to have his little finger bandaged after he snagged it on a metal stool he tehrew in anger after a losing game. Seventeen-year-old Leland Lar- ioso of Hilmer, Cal., shot himself in the right foot with a 20-gauge shotgun as he demonstrated to friends how he had shot himself a few weeks before in the right foot with a 20-gauge shotgun. Meanwhile, across the country in Birmingham, Ala., eight-year- old Johnny Hines fell out of a swing and broke his right wrist. The next day he fell while playing football and broke his left wrist. In Globe, Ariz., Mrs. Lena Ber ry broke her leg when she slipped and fell while walking down a hill. She was hurrying to a first aid class. In Bangor, Me., a wo man described only as being of “generous proportions,” got stuck in her bathtub. Two gallant fire men each took an arm and—with eyes averted—tugged hard until she was extricated. Louise and Ruth Murasky are 21-year-old twins in Garfield Height, Ohio. Not only do they look alike, but they do things to gether. Both are nurses, and a few days after Louise cut her right leg on a glass lamp shade, Ruth cut her right leg when a bottle exploded. < Sleepwalking, Mrs. Faith Blake- more, 43, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., apparently decided to cease being a pedestrian. Sound asleep one night ,ske went to the garage and started the car. The damage was estimated at $450 to the car and $300 to the garage. Traffic was tied up a few miles west of Olney, 111., when a panel truck collided head-on with the car it was towing. The truck tried to pass a semi-trailer truck and ran off the pavement. The car being towed broke loose, spun 180 degrees and overturned in the highway. The panel truck bounced through a drainage ditch, return ed to the highway, and hit the car. Highway signs are intended to help drivers, but Carl M. Gelbke, 34, of Kalamazoo, Mich., found they weren’t placed quite right for airplane drivers. Gelbke, a stu dent pilot, crashed in the median of Interstate 94 after he became lost and brought his plane close serving with Fighter Squadron 174 at the Naval Air Station, Cecil Field, Fla. The mission of the unit is to provide fighter pilots to all East Coast squadrons using the F8U “Crusader” aircraft.

Sign at Jones Beach, Long Is land, N. ¥., varns daredevil John Davis ot Farmingdale, that any injuries he sustains will literally be on “his own bead.” to the ground to read a sign. His craft hit a high tension wire. Mayor Harold J. Grady of Balt* - more, Md., was handed an appro priate schedule sheet during Fire Prevention week. One of bis sec retaries dropped a cigarette cin der on the paragraph which men tioned the special week, and scor ched the word “hazards” in a sen tence reminding him he was to say a few words of warning about fire hazards. And 14-year-old Steven Hardina announced he was giving up ba ton twirling after he shook up Ventura, Calif, with a mighty toss, Steve sent his baton so high that it struck two 4,000-volt power lines. This blacked out a 10-block area for an hour, started a grass fire, and knocked a radio station off the air. Big things happened in 1961. Maris’ and Mantle’s assaults on the Mighty Bambino’s batting rec ord crowded the pennant races right out of the sports pages, Khruschev said he could sometimes make mistakes, and a few other things happened. But a lot of folks are still talking about the dizzy things that happened to them dur ing the year. BOY SCOUT WEEK February 7-13 ■ , " t
