PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1962 Statesmanlike Not The Word President Kennedy was leaning over backwards, if indeed he was not going overboard, when he used the word “statemanlike” is des cribing Khrushchev’s decision to remove the Russian missile sites from Cuba. There was nothing ‘“statesmanlike” about it. It was simply time for Russia to retreat, and Khrushchev knew it. Of course Mr. Kennedy was re lieved at the development, but one does no assign noble motives to a woud-be bandit or assassin who flees the scene when the police begin to arrive. And it is to be hoped that Mr. Kennedy does not entertain the notion that it will now be possible to bargain or ne gotiate with the Russian boss at any time on any subject. The crisis in Cuba merely proves again the point that the American people should not forget: The Russians have never yet failed to retreat when challenged. Their campaign to conquer the world has been based on bluff and bluster, with occasional attacks on weak and virtually unprotected coun tries. The one thing they respect is strength with courage. Each time they have met it, they have fallen back. Thus Mr. Kennedy would not be wise—morally, strategically, o r even politically—to dilute the strong position that he took a lit tle over a week ago when the Cu ban crisis burst into world-wide prominence. Our entire relation ship with Russia has proved over and over again that he has no thing to gain—and that America J and the free world have every-- : thing to lose. Certainly we are in- j dined to agree with Hairy Tru- man’s coarse evaluation of the un-! worthiness of a possible sumit con ference between Mr. Kennedy and | Mr. Khrushchev. It would be a waste of time. This nation does, however, need to do a bit of self-examination. : Too many questions too well-foun ded to be ignored are being raised about the timing of the United States’ showdown with Russia re- j garding the missile bases in Cuba.; It would sem to us that the Ken nedy Administration would de mand a full investigation and a full disclosure of the facts—un less, that is, there is a fear of em barrassment. A number of United States Sen ators, as long ago as late August and early September, have been warning that offensive missile bases were being constructed i n Cuba. Senator Keating of New York claimed long ago that he had what he called “hard evidence” of such activity. On September 3rd, Senator Thurmond of South Caro lina issued a formal warning that “there is substantial evidence that there are now at least four inter- meditae range ballistic missile sites in Cuba.” Senator Thurmond urged that the United States take immediate action to neutralize this “menace to our security.” Senator Thurmond is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Presumably he had information that was not available to the public—but certainly it was available to the President. If Senator Thurmond had no such in formation, he should be exposed— even if he did guess right. On the other hand, if Thurmond did have such information, which was ig nored by the President, then the Kennedy Administration deserves to be evaluated in this light. At this juncture, the suspicions of political timing on the part of the President are hanging in the air. The suspicions were accentu ated by the navy’s prominent use of a destroyer named for the President’s brother in the “quar antine” imposed on shipping bound for Cuba. The suspicions should be shot down, if false, or nailed to the hide of the Administration, if true. Unfortunately, there is not nearly enough time remaining prior to next week’s election for the questions to be answered and the matter to be settled. Still, the Aemrican people de serve to know the truth, however long it may take to uncover it and regardless of how embarrassing it FARM | NOTES! Must She Wear Lipstick If Everyone Else Does? THE WEEK’S LETTER: “1 am a girl of thirteen. I will go to junior high this coming school year. In my town the junior high and senior high are in the same building. Because of this, all the junior high girls wear lipstick. I think girls this young shouldn’t wear lipstick. But, if you don’t, they will make fun of you. What should I do?” OUR REPLY: Be yourself. Don’t think that you have to “fol low the crowd” to get along in life; it isn’t necessary. Sure, they may ‘kid’ you for a while but if you are as intelligent as your letter indicates you to be, they won’t make fun of you for long. Your schoolmates will make fun of you for not wearing lipstick only if they see that it makes you unhappy or angry. If it doesn’t annoy you in any way. rest as sured they won’t have much to say about it. The best way to approach the problem is to be an individual. If your friends or classmates have something to say, tell them po litely, but firmly, “I’ll wear lip stick when I want to and I don’t intend to wear it to school every day just because everybody else does.” Your friends may make fun of you for a time, but it won’t last long. Whether they show’ it or not, they will respect you for hav ing the courage to stand on your own two feet. Many of them wish they could do the same. The people who succeed in this world are not those who become “one of the gang” or w’ho go the opposite way to become “differ ent.” Each individual achieves greatest success when he or she has the courage to follow “con science” and not follow the leader.

By COUNTY AGENTS After a long hot and dry sum mer and fall with equally adverse conditions prevailing few dairy men and livestock producers have extra amounts of grass or graz ing on hand. The small amounts of rain that fell in September and October did allow some farmers to get some grazing sow'ed and some small grain in the ground. However, some relief may be obtained as beginning November 1st they can turn livestock on land that was di- versted from feed grain or wheat production under the 1962 pro grams only. This forage that can now be grazed this fall can help cut on w-inter feed costs. It will also allow fall and win ter grain planted t his fall a chance to get started before cows are put on it. Dry cows and beef cattle cows, rought it ,or get by on this coarse forage which is not as adapt to the stimulation of milk as the temporary grazing sowed this fall. A reminder too that cows still need free access to salt and min erals. Plan now for those heifers that will be freshening this fall and early winter. Heifers should be introduced in to the herd a month or so before they are due to freshen. This gives them a chance to become accust omed to the other cows, their stall in the barn, the milking routine and other procedures. The next important step is to be sure they are fed enough. Heif ers should be in a good, thrifty condition at freshening time. About a week or ten days before the expected calving date, start to increase the grain fed each day so that each heifer is eating grain equal to one percent of her body weight daily. In other words, a 1,000-pound heifer should be fed 10 pounds of grain each day. Prepare a suitable place for the heifer to freshen. Probably the best place is a maternity stall es pecially if it’s the comfort-type and reasonably wide. If a stall is not available, she should be kept where she can be observed often by the dairyman. The heifer will repay the dairy man many times for a bit of kindness and patience while she’s becoming accustomed to the milk ing machine and to other changes that accompany her entry into the milking herd. \ <0 & Y MARY STONE 03 Both sides vulnerable.

HARPER LITTLE WHITE PIGS ~PHIS IS a story of some little ^ white pigs, whose breed and ownership are unknown. The time and place of their birth are also unknown. All that is known is that they existed at some time during the Civil War, possibly in the State of Georgia. They may have survived the war only to meet a tragic end in the cooking pots of a hungry people daring Recon struction. In their brief stay on earth they were thus unknown to fame and so far as the writer knows this will be the first time their story has been in print. And I am sure that the little white pigs never worried because their names were never in print. And also that they did not intend to save a man’s life and never knew that they did. JUST A THOUGHT: Some folks never seem to be satisfied. If they are somehow able to take care of all their big problems, they immedi ately look for some little things to worry about. It may have been in Georgia, when Braxton Bragg was drawing his forces together for Chicka- mauga that a soldier whom I knew during his latfr days was stationed as a picket after a hard day’s march. After a short time, the weary soldier could not resist the desire to sprawl at the foot of a large tree. And it was not long until the soldier knew nothing of the waking world. “Didn’t they catch you sleeping on duty?” I asked. “No,” he said, some little white pigs rooting among his feet had awakened him to his duty just before the relief came. Let us never undervalue little things. W INSTON CHURCHILL is de scended from the celebrated Duke of Marlborough, of whom someone has said that he never fought a battle he did not win, never besieged a city he did not take, and never conducted nego tiation that he did not carry to a successful conclusion. It is small wonder that this illustrious de scendant, Sir Winston Churchill, has been a man of indomitable spirit. When he was brought home re cently and taken to a hospital after falling and breaking his hip. JUST A THOUGHT: Doing the “right” thing is sometimes difficult, often un pleasing at the outset. Once it is done, however, we usually wonder why we ever gave any consideration to the fact that we would hav2 done otherwise. he lifted a hand and gave his famous victory sign. And who has ever heard that Winston Churchill in all his life ever showed a white feather? To the English people and to peoples who dwell along all the Seven Seas, he has demonstrated a spirit that would not shrink though pressed by every foe and would “not tremble on the brink of any earthly woe.” The English people and of the free world have reason to be grateful that Winnie led them to accept “blood and toil and sweat” instead of shame and oppression. And surely we in the United States find it easy to admire Winston Churchill. After all, his mother was from our shores. “PniMtcd : BOSTON, LOS ANGELES LONDON Interesting Accurate Complete International News Coverage The Christian Science Monitor One Norway St., Boston 15, Mass.

The Union Church of Berea was founded in 1853 with John Gregg Fee as pastor. The appearance of this church with its strong antislavery and non-sectarian ideas brought people to this community. The people who founded the church planned the creation of a college which should have a share in the establishment of a “community of free men.” In 1855 a subscription school was opened. It is from this date that the coUege traces its found ing, although the present corpora tion did not come into existence until 1866. From the beginning of the present organization in 1866 with its elementary and sec ondary schools, Negro students were enrolled with white students. In 1869 the coUege department opened and the first college grad uating class received degrees in 1873. The college thinks of itself as being a liberal arts college, though its close connection with the mountain area has resulted in some courses of study of a pro fessional nature to meet specific needs of the mountain area. Ex tension activities have always been carried on. The college col laborated in the establishment of the first agricultural county agent program in the United States. It pioneered traveling libraries. chautauquas, and the adaptation of the Danish folk school to the mountain situation. The college worked with the County Board of Education of Pulaski County (Kentucky) to develop a program of in-service training for its teach ers. A similar program was carried on several years in Leslie County (Kentucky). These re sulted in a more extensive enter prise, the Rural School Improve ment Project, which received the support of the Fund for the Ad vancement of Education. The college has shared in the creation and support of the Council of the Southern Mountains, the Southern Highland Handcraft Guild, and in a great many activities centered in the Southern Appalachian area. It may be true to say that Berea College is the only college with hope of permanence which has concentrated upon the educational needs of this area VEXATIONS ON A VACATION DAVID AND GOLIATH NOW YOU AND I SIMPLY MUST HELP HIM—-WEVE GOT TO ECONOMIZE— DO WITHOUT THIN 39 FOR A WHILE-.
