This is true in the store, on

fessions—everywhere. And equally
so in the United States Senate.
There Senator Olin D. Johnston
has 18 years of experience, sen
iority and the "know-how" to get
things done for South Carolina.
Keep South Carolina strong in
the U. S. Senate.

PEOPLE
Breaking Bloc Voting Power
THE SENATE should have an
opportunity soon to vote on a
proposed constitutional amend
ment which, if approved, could
break the grip which organized
minority groups now hold on our
national policies by virtue of
their grossly disproportionate
power in presidential elections.
The amendment is proposed in
Senate Joint Resolution 12,
which I sponsored with Sena
tors Mundt, Morton, Fong, Hrus-
ka, McClellan, and Goldwater.
It would change the method of
electing the President and Vice
President by providing for selec
tion of presidential Electors in
Elector districts within the
States rather than on a State
wide basis with the winner tak
ing all the electoral votes of a
State.
S. J. RES. 12 won approval
last week by a 4-2 vote in a
Judiciary Subcommittee, and it
is expected to be reported fa
vorably for Senate debate some
time during June or early July.
UNDER PRESENT law a
South Carolina voter cast ; his
ballot for a slate of eight Elec
tors to represent him in the
Electoral College, which formal
ly elects the President and Vice
President. In New York, how
ever, each voter casts his ballot
for a slate of 45 Electors, and
if one slate wins by one vote,
then all of those Electors are
designated to cast New York's
45 votes in bloc. Since New
York’s 45 votes constitute ap
proximately % of the electoral
votes needed to elect a Presi
dent, the political parties have
been shaping their platforms
and the selection of their can
didates to appeal to the minori
ty bloc-voting groups which
have made themselves the bal
ance of power in the large two-
party States. This is one of the
principal reasons why our coun
try has been led down the prim
rose path ot socialism and away
from the sound principles of con
stitutional government in recent
years.
UNDER S. J. RES. 12, called
the district plan for electoral re
form, each voter in all the States
would cast his ballot for three
Electors, one in his Elector dis
trict (which will probably be
his Congressional district), and
two State-wide Electors. Since
the Electoral College was estab
lished to give each State the
same representation as it has
in the Congress, the voters
would follow the same proce
dure in selecting Electors as in
voting for their representation
in the Congress.
THIS PROCEDURE would
equalize each voter’s power and
would more nearly reflect the
popular vote than does the pres
ent procedure. For instance, if
one candidate’s Electors won by
a plurality in 23 of New York’s
43 Elector districts and also
carried the State-wide voting, he
would have 25 Electors voting
for him in the Electoral College.
The other candidate would have
20. Thus, minority bloc-voting
effectiveness would be minimized
because bloc-voting in New York
City would affect only two
State-wide votes and the Elector
districts in the City and not for
the entire State. As a practi
cal matter, this would give the
national par' ies and their can
didates much less reason to ca
ter to the minority blocs and
their interest in socialism and
internationalism.
ONE OF THE best features
of the district plan is its reten
tion of the Electoral College as
a buffer against federal control
of elections. The courts have
held that the presidential Elec
tor is a State officer performing
a federal function, so this office
serves to keep election machin
ery under State control where
it was placed by the Constitu
tion.
THERE IS no question but
that it will be difficult to obtain
the necessary % vote to win ap
proval of S. J. Res. 12. In 1956
we got a majority but not the
required % vote. It is not an
impossible task, however, if the
people, who, according to the
Gallup and other polls, have in
dicated strong support of elec
toral reform, make their wishes
known on this question, which
is, from the standpoint of con
stitutional government, the most
important matter to come before
the Senate in years.
Sincerely,
REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
JEFFSHSON
HOMAS JEFFERSON was
born on the 13th day of April,
1743, and the recital of the fact
adds to the importance of the
present month in American his
tory. And Mr. Jefferson is con
sidered here in connection with
great hours in our history that 1
may be commemorated in April
because the 13th day of April was
a very lucky one for the young
Republic of the United States.
Jefferson was a powerful influ
ence in forming the democratic
ideals of our people, for now and
then we hear or see the phrase
JUST A THOUGHT:
Every day we should watch
for the opportunity to do good,
in some way lend a helping
hand to others. The reward is
often the discovery that we
have helped ourselves at the
same time.
Jeffersonian democrat. It will be
observed that I spelled the word
democrat with a small d, as there
is no thought of dominant politi cal
parties of the present.
We can but admire the versatile
genius of the man who designed
and built a mansion for himself
and filled it with interesting gadg
ets for convenient living. And as
President of the United States he
will ever be remembered for buy
ing enough real estate in the Loui
siana Purchase to form in whole
or in part thirteen States of the
American Union.
Marcus Aurelius wrote that “in
the ancient mythical letters of
Ephesians there was an item that
a man should always have in his
mind some one of the ancient
worthies.” So may it be now with
us in these days that bring great
testings to our

Beauty is Never Reckless
Beauties should look like they're
naturally that way. They should
never give a blow-by-blow demon
stration of how they got that way
in public, with nail file, lipstick,
creaming, etc. Privacy is best!
Purses can carry a small make
up kit to freshen the beauty away
from home, starting with cleans
ing pads, cover-make-up, lipstick
and hair spray. For a touch of
glamor, include spray cologne.
On hand for extra emergencies
might be a pair of spotless white
gloves in a plastic bag and an
extra pair of hose.
Beauties always settle for
straight tea or coffee, never cal
orie-full snacks as “coffee breaks”
or pick-ups on a shopping trip

IDEAS
FROM
OTHER
EDITORS
From the CatsUll Mountain
Star, Saugerties, N.Y.: What has
happened to the common cour
tesies which once were a matter
of habit between men? It is that
now we are such a “stepped up”
people, that we no longer have
time for the small niceties? Or,
have we discovered that there is
no longer any need for patience
and small kindnesses?
How many times have you sat
in your car waiting for the red
light to change, when the instant
it became green, the driver be
hind you started an impatient,
inconsiderate honk? At such in
stances have you not had a tre
mendous urge to just sit and
make him wait in order to re
taliate?
How about the driver, wh(
being in a great hurry, passes you
at top speed and then cuts in
front of you! What are your im
mediate reactions?
Have you ever been waiting in
line only suddenly to And your
self backing un rather than going
ahead because some newcomer
has pushed himself in front of
you?
We could go on endlessly noting
annoying incidents. But, instead,
let’s take stock of hov many
times we, ourselves, hr ^e been
guilty of committing ju? such dis
courtesies without actually mean
ing to hurt anyone, but because
we have been in a rush and un
thinking.
Our modern life with its hustle
and bustle seems to have lost
the room and the need for cour
tesies and small favors.
In reflecting, we wonder if *
conscious effort were made by all
of us to become more aware of
each other, would we not become
better neighbors and, on a larger
scale, a better community?
We could carry this awareness
over into our business and poli
tical dealings and perhaps, who’s
to tell, we might even become s
stronger nation. |fBig o*»v«

There’s an air of freshness
about beauties that’s achieved
through super-fastidiousness about
cleansing daily. It starts with bac.
teria-killing soap, deodorant and
an antiseptic foot powder.
Fussiness is filed completely
out of sight for daytime.- This in
cludes elaborato hair-dos that
need constant attention, frivolous
clothes and elaborate eye make
up.
Keep nail polish in several
shades which you wear to repair
the chips. Carefully kept nails are
good signs of the well-groomed
beauty.
