Benson PRESIDENT-NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas ECONOMIC SQUEEZE ON CASTRO President Kennedy should be commended for his strong stand of November 20 in the Cuban cri sis, when at his news conference of that date he indicated that the next phase of the conflict would include intensified efforts to get rid of Fidel Castro. Since the in spection for missiles the Khrush chev promised has not been ar ranged, at this writing, it may be supposed that the new squeeze will be partly military. The Presi dent promised continued surveil lance of the island. Incidents will probably come, although Castro will possibly not create enough serious ones to invite an invasion. The squeeze is going to be chiefly economic. This is an ap proach that Washington toyed with only half-heartedly before the 1 blockade. Now, however, economic pressure can be exerted like we mean it. And we shall have to mean it or there will be no use undertaking such measures. Rus sian trouble-shooter Anastas I. Mikoyan spent 23 days in Cuba last month and he was doing much more than selling Cuba on some of Khrushchev’s ideas. Undoubt edly he was taking a close look at economic Cuba, aware that the battle is now shifting toward Cas tro’s sagging economy, while likely coaching Castro on how to handle most effectively his resistance to the U. S. Billion Dollar Failure » t No one knows what he may re port to Moscow and whether the Russians, faced with problems of their own at home and all over the world, will support Cousin Castro with enough to keep him operating. But my opinion is they will value this western base highly enough to keep it intact regardless of cash. Some experts are estimating that it cost Russia as much as $1 billion to haul those missiles to Cuba and take them out again. To say the least, the Soviet at tempt to arm Cuba to the teeth was a tremendously expensive pro gram. After this venture that didn’t pan out, it is 'a question whether the Reds can aga\n be so free with their spending in order to support the sagging economy of RELY ON US TO DEUVER TO YOUR FARM We supply you with a complete line of top-quality Sinclair Petroleum Products for your farm: gasolines, motor oils, trac tor fuels, lubricants, greases, heating oils and kerosene.

LeRoy Harrelson, vice-presi dent and director of public relat ions for the Citizens and Southern National Bank of South Carolina, will serve his second term as Cru sade Director for the American Cancer Society’s annual statewide educational-fund raising drive in April, it was announced by E. R. Alexander, president, today. Harrelson completed the Soc iety’s most successful State Cru sade financially in 1962, Alexan der explained, when $262,828.47 was raised in South Carolina for its research, education and ser vice programs. Like Alexander, Harrelson is a volunteer. Alexander is executive vice-president of the South Caro lina Bankers Association and has long been active in the Society’s volunteer work. “The terrible toll that cancer takes from our citizens was point ed up with the recent deaths of four well known actors within the space of three weeks,” Harrelson said. “We have lost many distin guished citizens as well as loved ones to cancer. The passing of Cuba. Actually, most of their aid to date has been promises. Of economic aid totaling $300, mill ion in promises, observers say that less than $2 million in capital goods have been delivered. Living On Aid The Russians, it is said, have promised a steel mill, a fertilizer plant, and an oil refinery, but these have not been delivered. Whether a recently rumored 3- year treaty with Russia would be merely promises or enough to get Cuba going is the broader question of whether the Communists can manage the Cuban economy at all. At present food production is away down. Rationing is tight, and food consumption if off af least 15 per cent. Sugar, Cuba’s only cash crop, brought the smallest harvest in six years. Agriculture is snarled, industrial production very low, and transportation in shambles. Some experts give a better pic ture of the Cuban economy. Ruth Sheldon Knowles, reporting in The Wall Street Journal recently following extensive travel about the island, wrote: “Although Cu ba’s economy is staggering along under a heavy burden of bureau cracy, inefficiency, shortages of food, spare parts and raw mater ials and a lack of technicians, it does not appear to be on the verge of collapse.” This writer goes on to indicate, however, that what little does come into Cuba from the Sino-Soviet bloc countries is “literally keeping Cuba aline.” Will It Work? Mikoyan undoubtedly is wonder ing what to recommend to his Boss about the prospects for gen eral success of the Communist revolution in Cuba. Mrs. Knowles comments: “Castro’s labor prob lems, both industrial and agricul tural, stem from the fact that he has imposed a totalitarian state upon the people who wanted free dom and in a country where econ omic conditions were not the pri mary cause of the revolution. When Castro took over, Cuba had the third highest standard of liv ing in Latin America, almost as high as Italy’s.” The revolution was not a peas ant revolt, she goes on to say, but was backed by middle-class intellectuals. Then Castro destroy ed the middle class by removing the private enterprise system that had created them. “When you real ize how quickly Castro’s brand of Communism infected the minds of men and women ... it becomes clear that the cause of freedom remains in deep trouble in the Western hemisphere.” She pre dicts that the Communist coun tries will now make an even great er effort than before to keep Castro’s economic plant running. Charles Laughton, Thomas Mitch ell, Dick Powell and Jack Carson, all from cancer, reminds us that this disease may strike anyone. And it will strike one in four per sons during their lifetimes.” Harelson began his 1963 duties with a meeting in Greenville or. Thursday, January 10 with key leaders of the Greenville County Cancer Unit, under the director ship of W. W. Stover, C,rusade di rector for the county, at the Elk’s club. Among topics discussed were special gifts, and other phases of the annual educational-monetary Crusade. Bus Driver Training Is Scheduled The 1963 School Bus Driver Training program, conducted by the South Carolina Highway De partment, will begin on March 4th and continue through April, cover ing the entire State. This program is required by S. C. law. ATI instruction is given by highway patrolmen who have had special training. About 5000 stu dents representing all high schools in the state, will be trained in the two months period. The highway department is re questing principals of the high schools to carefully screen all applicants and choose those best fitted to be school bus drivers. An applicant is required to be at least 16 years old, hold a South Caroli na driver’s license, and have an ac cident-free driving record. He must be recommended by his high school principal.

Page Three Much Business At Meeting Of Garden Club When the members of the New berry Garden club assembled at the home of Mrs. Joe Roberts for their January meeting, they were invited into the dining room by her and the associate hostess, Mrs. Clem Youmans, for delectable re freshments. The table arrange ment was of mammoth white car nations in a silver container. Mrs. i H. B. Senn poured coffee from a handsome silver service. White flowers were used in the living room where the business session was held, presided over by Mrs. Thomas H. Pope, Jr., vice-presi dent, in the absence of Mrs. J. L. Feagle, president. Mrs. Pope cor dially welcomed Mrs. David Tod Sokevitz as a new member.

The pro gram for the symposium to be held February 1 and 2 at the University of South Carolina was presented. Of especial interest will be a lecture on “Mt. Vernon: Its History, Antiques and Gardens” by Charles C. Wall, resident director, Mt. Vernon, and “Flower Arrang ing Made Easy” by Mrs. Mary Badham Kittel, a native of Char leston but presently residing in Fort Worth, Texas. Mrs. E. G. Abie, bird chairman, was program leader and gave an excellent review of “Wings at my Window” by Ada Clapham Govan. A true story, vital, human and in tensely interesting of a woman’s physical and spiritual regeneration brought about by her hospitality to birds. Her health wrecked by hardship and bereavement, a vic tim of an accident that made her a house-bound invalid, found a challenge when the birds came— the first a chick-a-dee—to the in expensive feeder at her window that she and her son designed and built. Colored slides of five lovely birds, the gold finch, cedar wax wing, scarlet tanager,’ red headed woodpecker and Eastern blue bird, were shown with the comments on their calls, plumage, nesting, and feeding of their young. Reports of committees were giv en. Mrs. Griffith reported on light ing requirements for the Roadside Park, and that the janitor was grateful for his Christmas present of $5.00. Mrs. James E. Wiseman, Jr. gave a very gratifying report on profits from the sale of bird sta tionery, bridge score pads, tallies, etc. Orders may be placed with her at any time. Mrs. Von Long reported on the Junior Garden club, Mrs. Pugh’s pupils in the Special Education class. In November, Mrs. Youm ans sent a generous check for the children to spend at the Episcopal Church Bazaar. Mrs. Youmans re ceived a note of thanks signed by each pupil. A Christmas party was given the children on December 18. The class room was festive with Christmas decorations and the many attractive stuffed toys, etc. that the children had made. Under the able supervision of Mrs. Pugh, assisted by Mrs. Long, they had made puppets which were used in a play “The Nativity”. The cos tuming and execution of the pup pets was superb and greatly en joyed by the club members. Beau tifully decorated home-made cook ies and punch were served by members of the committee: Mrs. Long, Mrs. Able, Mrs. Floyd and Mrs. Whittle. Presents were dis tributed by “Mrs.” Santa Claus who had previously learned the de sire of each pupil. The chairman of the nominating committee reported that all offi cers have been re-elected and have agreed to serve another year. Mrs. Clem Youmans, State Blue Star Highway chairman, has do nated a marker in the name of the club. On March 28, dedication cer emonies will be held at Pomaria Park on Highway 176. Officials of both the S. C. Garden club and the Highway department will be present and have a pan in the ceremonies. Programs will be furnished by the Newberry Garden club. The club is most grateful for Mrs. Youmans’ generosity and for her untiring and valuable efforts in this outstanding .work. Mrs. Charles Whittle was the lucky winner of an attractive bird feeder. Mrs. George White, guest of Mrs. George Brockenbrough was a visitor. Recent Movings Mr. and Mrs. Phil Orsini are now making their home at 1905 College street in one of the Sut ton apartments.
