SCHOOL-AGE children get ail kinds of help from PTA ac tivity, notably from its long standing programs for promot ing their health—throughout their school years—and their safety.

DEAR VOTER v i ’ The oath taken by voters in the Democratic pri- » mary goes deeper than the pledge to support the nominees of the party. The voter swears: That he is a qualified voter (did not obtain his registration certificate by fraud or deception); That he is a resident of the precinct at which he has presented himself to vote and is therefore not a “floater” or “repeater” going from box to box; And that he has not voted before in that election (which discourages dishonesty at the polls). In addition to the foregoing statements, the voter also swears to support the nominees of the party in the general election, which is a reasonable proposi tion in itself. (Moreover, it is in the S. C. law and the rules of the Democratic Party, and the Supreme Court has never said it is unconstitutional.) And SUPPORT means return to the polls on Gen eral Election Day (Nov. 6) and VOTE AGAIN—this time for all the Democratic party nominees that have been chosen! How can any citizen take this oath and treat it lightly? It is as valid and binding as the oath taken in any courtroom. Old People Of S. C. Are Not "Bums" MEDICARE, says Eisenhower, is for “bums and deadbeats.” (He is on free govt, medical care and draws a big fat pension check each month.) Ike is against MEDICARE. So is the Millionaires Club. They say to hcck with the old people. “Me, Too,” Workman is against MEDICARE also. Workman urges Republicans to “arm yourselves with axe handles” election day to keep election managers honest. Strong talk from a Conservative boy, and an insult to our efficient, public-spirited honest man agers. They count the ballots honestly in S. C. The Republican party is no friend of the South—and least of all to the Southern farmer. As Alben Barkley once said, the Re publicans want to “stabilize the farmers, that Is turn them out of their houses and put ’em in the barns with the livestock.” x x Ike killed 90% parity, raised interest rates, “golfed and goofed” while Russia took over. Cuba—he didn’t have “the guts to stop it” says Pres. Truman. Workman is no friend of the farmer. R.E.A. or the farm program. He wants it eliminated. He is for the power companies. Against Hartwell Dam. Clark Hni, Santee- Cooper, Trotters Shoals. There is no substitute for experience. Even Ike says “Seniority makes good sense!” Vote on Nov. 6 for Sen. Olin D. Johnston and keep S. C. strong in the U. S. Senate. VOTE NOV 6! •*** .IE-ELECT JOHNSTON Keep this Sincere, Capable, Sober U. S. Senator on the job for South Carolina and the Nation! Every day in the year the people of South Carolina are served promptly, ef ficiently and with thoughtful considera tion by Olin D. Johnston. Throughout his public career Senator Johnston has been a leader for Educa tion—in the public schools and colleges —and for higher salaries for teachers. He believes in and works for good schools. His administration as governor gave our state the 12th grade in the public schools. Sen. Johnston works untiringly for all Veterans. Stands firms for the Southern way <4 life. Champion of—and often called *Tbe Father of Rural Electrification” in South Carolina. Actively interested in the welfare of the textile industry, its people and the wage-earners in all of the state’s indus tries. Voted for increase in minimum wages. Active in all legislation and procedures that help our farmers. Seniority in the V. S. Senate is the key that opens legislative doors and pro vides opportunities, protection and bene fits to South Carolinians in every walk of We. Senator Johnston believes in and works for maximum benefits for our older people* through Social Security provisions that will assure them comfort and proper medical care. He has love and compassion for our older people. God bless them! A serious illness, one big hospital bill can bankrupt a family. Sen. Johnston knows this and is for MEDICARE. As vice chairman. Senate Agriculture Committee, he fought to protect farmers* incomes, safeguard tobacco and cotton pro grams, supporting ninety per cent of parity on basic commodities. He introduced legislation to reduce per sonal income taxes. In the face of attack from the Re publican administration. Senator Johnston voted to preserve and expand the R.E.A. program, thereby insuring continued smooth operation of Rural Electric Co-Op program in South Carolina. He held hearings, sponsored legisla tion, and obtained Agriculture Department orders giving tobacco farmers permission to sell loose, untied tobacco for the first time in 1962. He offered research legislation to pro mote new industrial uses for crops and find new crops for farmers in South Carolina. He voted to increase Social Security benefits and offered bill lowering Social Security retirement age. Senator Johnston introduced and passed amendment to Increase federal contribu tions to old-age assistance without being matched by state foods. He voted increased appropriation to operate school lunch program. He voted Increased benefits for veter ans, their widows and dependents of World War I, World War H, Spanish-American War and Korean War, and supported ex tension of G. I. educational benefits. He wrote legislation enacted by Con- gress forcing Republican Administrattoa to reduce interest rates on farmers’ emer gency loans from five percent to three percent. He successfully prevailed upon Presi dent Kennedy to keep Donaldson Air Force Base (annual payroll $21 million) at Green ville. He has always opposed “give-away” programs and foreign aid. Personally and politically a dry. Sen. Johnston has offered legislation to prohibit the serving of alcoholic beverages in the U. S. Capitol.

SECT.—THIS IS THE ELECTION THAT COUNTS—VOTE NOV. t ••«•••••••• # Dean Manion j THE : MANION : : FORUM • • • •••••••«•••••••••••• How long can the American tax payer continue to carry the whole world on his shoulders? The Pa gan God. Atlas, was a supersturdy superman; nevertheless, e'ven At las eventually weakened under the continuous weight of the world and had to pass the burden over to Hercules. Now it is the American economy ; that is buckling under the same j oppressive load. By every sign that it can make, our tax-encum bered business structure is calling for relief. Official Washington .re sponds by preparing more and more weight for the already un bearable burden. For the weary taxpayer, there is no. helpful Hercules outside the United States Congress. Unless Congress makes the effort to lighten the Federal tax and spend ing load, you may expect the col lapse of the American economy in a Wagnerian prelude to the tragic triumph of Communism here and all over the world. Long ago the Red master minds planned that it should happen this way, and now, consciously or not, our limitlless and all-purpose tax ers and spenders are busily exe cuting the Communist design. The unpleasant fact is that after all the billions and billions of Am- eriqan dollars that have been spent to prevent it, we now find ourselves cringing under the muzzle of inter-continental miss iles aimed directly at us from Moscow. If we are presently to find en ough strength for the immediate military defense of this country, our Government must promptly unload every foreign aid and do mestic money-burning, energy-di verting project that is not directly connected with this urgent mili tary purpose. For our Socialistic “do-good ers” and vote-buying, election year politicians, the present coincidence of economic depression and mili tary necessity is a veritable god send. Confidently, they now plan to prime the sputtering economic pump with a new welter of waste ful spending for long-term health, education, welfare and a long list of others—all done in the pro fessed interest of national defense. The pork barrel politicians now warn us that it would be fatal to let ourselves fall behind Russia in such things as water resources de velopment and slum clearance pro jects, and along with new missile money, they want more Federal money for juvenile dellinquency, stream polution, urban rehabilita tion and a dozen or so more other things. If we are menaced by Soviet missiles, then we must strip for military action here and now. The uitimate good of far away places, along with the culture and conven ience of future generations, must wait for available time and money. If the alarmed findings of our governmental leaders are correct, then our immediate problem is to stay alive, which means that w'e must match the Communists mis sile for missile. To expedite the process of streamlining the Federal Govern ment for national defense, billions of dollars could be made available for defense purposes if each of us would push hard for the indiscrim inate cold-blooded slaughter of every Federal subsidy that now panders to our own personal or sectional special interests. The fabulous record of our long-contiued foreign aid dispen sations makes it difficult for poli tically sensitive Congressmen to resist the spending pleas of do mestic groups. After all, if our Government can continuously sub sidize Socialism all over the world, it should be able to scrape up en ough money to provide their own district the “public works” they are asking for. As long as we continue to pour our taxpayers’ money down the rat holes of such places as India and Indonesia it will be difficult for Congressmen to vote against appropriations for Indiana and Idaho. If each of us would now f lead out the sacred cow that is nearest to our own heart and sentence it to death with an appropriate letter to our Congressman, the big Fed eral financial overload w o u 1 d speedily shrink down to the point where we could pay for all of the missiles, bombs, submarines and aircradft that are needed for the impregnable defense of this country, and at the same time we could afford the sizeable, across- the-board tax reduction that is nesessary for a quick and healthy business revival, and all within the limits of a comfortably bal anced Federal budget. -$*•••••>&•: “World's largest termite control organization" $5000 GUARANTEE Against faurm Tsrmitm Damagm Mttiottfty bjf ora 1800 fawnhy 4nteo for tree Inspection caff Newberry Lumber Co., Inc.
