VOLUME 27; NUMBER NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1963 $2.00 Per i eai The Candidates JULY 4th .. . the Nation’s Birthday MR. LONGSHORE MR. ARM FI ELD Slip MW •^y<v % FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.. MR. DUE FORD MR. HELLER i§y mi § i IX OUR NATION, freedom is a hallowed cause—and rightly so. It is the topic of hi^h-level conferences. Conjr- l ress enacts legislation to ]irotect and })reserve it. Hiprh school students write essays on it. Most Americans can teli you what it is. Few, however, stop to consider the one thinp: it is not- IT IS NOT FREE. SINCE. 1776. thousands of Americans have paid the 1 supreme sacrifice bravely and without question so that i freedom miyht reiym in our land. Our country has never failed to meet the price demanded of a nation besei^ed from within or without by enemies of democracy. For true Amer icans. tin* cost of freedom is never too hi<rh SACRIFICES which citizens are called upon to make today art' small indeed when compared with those of our forefathers assembled in Philadelphia 187 years a*ro. Yet we see “patriotic” backsliders shirk their responsibilities to their country at every opportunity. Through let haryy or in difference or because it is considered ‘boorish' in some circles certain segments our our society ignore civic obliga tions. nimbly skirt jury duty, snub public service and avoid situations which require their participation as witnesses. They “stand' for. or against many things, but are responsi ble for none. They are deadheading on democracy at the ex pense of their fellowman. THE] PATH of patriotic and civic duty leads to per sonal glory for only a few, but it does lead to the survival of the American way of life—liberty, freedom and the pursut of happiness. The task is a common cause. There can be no exception for special interest groups or laggards. AS WE OBSERVE Independence Day, Americans who are prone to shirk their responsibilities to our great Nation might think about these things—to oppressed people who cry for freedom, the responsibility of preserving it would be a privilege, not an inconvenience.
