THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1963 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE Straight Talk by “The American people must make some basic determinations as to policy guidelines for their country, and they need to make these deterirnnations very soon. They must decide whether the free •enterprise system is worth saving against the onslaught of socialist encroachment brought on by those who believe that the people must have their lives planned for them. Also, they must decide whether we want to win the cold war which the forces of world Communism have forced upon us or whether we believe that we can trust the Communists and can therefore work out an accommodation with them. “There are some who contend the American people don’t need to bother with such questions and the basic planning for our country in the fields of both domestic and foreign policy should be made by a group of elite policy-makers, many of whoip have never been el ected by the people. Those who propound this view, however, over look the fact that the American people hold the basic power in this country and that persons elected to public office are merely their humble servants placed there to carry out the will of the people. “Thus, to take the position that the American people should not have sufficient information made available to them to make their -own judgments, and to voice their views on both domestic and for eign issues, is to dilute the power •of the people, doubt their capabil ity to make sound judgments and prevent them from exercising their power intelligently in electing their representatives to make the A ffc % VK laws and execute them. “There are too many in our country today seeking ‘something for nothing,’ and who are willing to barter their freedom and yours for a ‘mess of pottage.’ In addi tion ,there are many who seek to wield the unlimited powers of a centralized government and are willing ta pass out your tax dol lars to buy that power. “In the field of foreign affairs, the predominant view among our policymakers is that a ‘deal’ can be made with our enemy, the forces of world Communism. Too many view the Communists as having only one, or at least a major, fault—they’re just too ag gressive, and they’re getting bet ter all the time, because they’re evolving into good socialists. This, in effect, is what we are told in the recent investigation into for eign policy vit the issue of muz zling our military leaders in their anti-Communist statements and seminars. In other words, we can reach an accommodation with the Communists and they can be trusted to disarm with us and live in peace. If you don’t believe this then you’d better start exercising your rights as an American citi zen and make your views as con tagious as possible. This same ad vice is offered to those who still have faith in our free enterprise system. “Americans must make a choice between socialism and freedom and between accommodation and victory. The choice is yours; the hour is late.” One of America’s greatest statesmen, Senator Strom Thurm ond, made the above statement. to pleasure bright IN SOUTH CAROLINA BEER IS A NATURAL From nature's light grain comes sparkling, light beer... South Carolina's traditional beverage of moderation — it’s light, sparkling, delicious. And naturally, the Brewing Industry in South Carolina is proud of the nearly $6,800,000 in direct beer taxes paid the state, and the $1,200,000 additional taxes which go to coun ties and cities. This money helps support colleges and hospitals and pay teachers' salaries. In South Carolina, beer belongs — enjoy it. UNITED STATES BREWERS ASSOCIATION, INC. SOUTH CAROLINA DIVISION This honest and courageous pat riot has just been to our town to speak to an open meeting. The following people were invited to introduce him: a former governor, the president of a bank, the presi dent of the chamber of commerce, a publisher of a newspaper, the head of a big department store. All had excuses for not introduc ing America’s greatest senator. One or two may have had valid reasons, but most shied away from Senator Strom Thurmond be cause he is “controversial” and that hurts business. All of these men call themselves conservatives. Let it be said in their favor that they would not have introduced Norman Thomas either. But some of these opportunists would have grabbed the chance to introduce Bobby Kennedy. He has the pow er to make or break them. Recently a former friend patted me on the back and said: “You’re doing a good job, boy. I’m with you all the way—but don’t use my name.” Many business and pro fessional men and women say they can’t afford to get into “pol itics” and can’t afford to be con troversial. It hurts business and social standing. These mistaken ostriches are still thinking about politics in the sense of Democrats versus Republicans, one personal ity versus another personality. The politics I’m talking about is the politics of survival as a free people under God. Those people who know the score and who re fuse to get into the fight are either utterly selfish (thinking they can ride whatever tide will win, or that they’ll just “live it up” their few remaining years on earth and let the living worry a- bout it); or they’re people who’re completely amoral, if not immoral; or they’re deep yellow. Our profit and loss system and our individual freedoms are being sabotaged by our own leaders of both political parties. What dif ference does it make what your profit and loss statement is this month of this year ? What dif ference does it make whether you are fired from your job for being “political”? What difference does it make if you’re shunned socially for being “controversial”? The last place to go in this country to get help in saving capitalism, the free-enterprise sys tem, the profit and loss system and freedom itself is among the rich, particularly the didn’t-make- Announcements FOR MAYOR I hereby announce myself a candi date for re-election to the office of Mayor of the City of Newberry, and pledge myself to abide the results of the Democratic primary.

So, the “social” don’t take a stand —except a social stand against those who’re not social. Appealing to our socialists to save free-enterprise is like ap pealing to the Jesuits to save Un- itarianism. But most of our con- gresmen and senators are not socialists. They’re neither dedicat ed leftists nor dedicated rightists. They‘re merely dedicated to stay ing there. And that depends on YOU. I still have great faith in the American people. The good people are in the majority. If they will accept the responsibility and then act, we will not become en slaved. Many Americans are unconcern ed about what is happening be cause they think somebody is “taking care of things.” Some body IS—the collectivists. If we are to remain free people we must change “let George do it”, to “it all depends on me.” America’s sickness is erosion— not of the soil, but of morality. If r r Republic is saved from One- ,/orld slavery, it won’t be saved by fat-cats, or by the Democrat or Republican parties. It’ll be sav ed only the same way it was founded: by a grass-roots rebell ion; saved not at Washington, but at home; not from the top down, but from the bottom up. It’ll be saved by you. For if you won’t, who will? We are moving, with “vigah” to dictatorship. We still have a choice. You choose as you will.. As for me, I may die in dic tatorship, but I won’t live in one.
