THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN Let us call a halt to the const ant discussion of the Constitution lest we weary our friends and burden their minds with afflic tions they can't alleviate. Pm the one who receives all the benefit of discussions of thn once revered Constitution because it relieves my spirit to pass on all the burden. We have something else to pre- plex us: We have an idea that we may discuss openly and vig orously, even drastically, the en croachments of others, while rep resenting any criticism of our selves by those we castigate. The Russians are a case in point —they are the evil influence of unparalleled magnitude, but we openly denounce them while re senting criticism of ourselves by them. In ancient times one nation didn’t denounce another unless it meant war. Well, let that pass for a moment. We have a new worry: the Cubans have seized our Em bassy in Havanna. Shall we do anything about it? Or have we dilly-dallied so long that Russia must now be consulted? The seiz ure and confiscation of large Am erican investments didn’t seem to arouse us. Perhaps it should have taught a lesson—that we use our money to develop our own coun try. In the days of our youth and vigor we should have blockaded Cuban ports, as President Wilson did at Tampico, Mexico. That was a long time ago—not so much in years as in spirit. Today we med dle with countries all over the world and occasionally remember the Monroe Doctrine. The essence of the Monroe Doctrine is that all nations shall keep their hands off the Americas and we would not meddle with Europe, Asia and Af rica, pouring out billions of dol lars and fine young American lives —if only we could repent and make a new start! Life shifts doesn’t it? Years] ago, many years ago, I lived hap- j pily in Edgefield. I thought that j I should never again find such a delightful community. I did, how ever, when I went to Anderson. Edgefield had an innovation: I bought my groceries from a drug store. That was quite new. Of course I can remember w r hen you could buy a gallon of kerosene oil from a drug store without a pre scription. But Edgefield had a wide-open grocery business in a drug store and it was owned by two delightful gentlemen, Ooctor Penn and Mr. Jule Holstein. Behold the difference today. A w T eek or so ago l bought some shirts from a mammoth grocery store. Sometime before that I bought some sardines from a large drug store; and in an advertise ment of a big drug store I saw equipment for fishermen. A drug store mark you, selling all the •’ecuisites for a fisherman. Some one had shown me a can, tin can, container in which a spec ial tea w r as sold. I wrote to the Boston headquarters and received a reply telling me that their tea could be bought from a well-known book and novelty store, which is widely known also as a printery. I called on the proprietor of that book business without success but saw the tea in a vast store of dry goods, clothing, costume jewelry and perfumes. The next time I want shoes or shirts I’ll try a hardware store. All my early education and ex perience counts for naught: I don’t know where to find what I want today. If drug stores sell fish and fishing tackle and groc ery stores sell drugs and shirts, where as we? One of the most complete rev olutions is this: men once went to the barber shop, at least for the Saturday shave There they heard all the local news, the bar bers being well informed on all local matters not fully covered by the local newspaper. At that time the ladies remained at home with such beauty aids as might be found in liquids, combs, brushes and salves. Today the men shave at home, missing all the local news of rich flavor, while the ladies go to a beauty parlor and there give and receive all the juicy morsels of on-the-quiet oc currences. The men were prepar ing for church and the ladies pre pare for the garden club of the missionary society. Quite a revolution, eh ? Ask your grandfather!!

WILLINGHAM BRANCH OFFICE — Batesburg, S. C. E. B. PURCELL W. C. HUFFMAN Americans are great travelers, they like to go around, if they have either the money or the credit. “What is the main reason why people like to travel ? The re searchers say they go because they like to see other people and how they live. One of the first sights to cap ture the attention of Americans going to Europe, particularly for the first time, is the way in which Europeans handle their knives, forks and spoons. In fact, some people become so fascinated by watching they almost forget to eat. What is so different about the Continental way of dining? Well, for one thing it involves the sim ultaneous use of fork and knife. The fork is held in the left hand, the knife in the right. At no time is the knife put down or the fork changed to the right hand. Not only is the knife used for cutting; it also serves to press food on the back of the fork. According to the late Emily Post, it is the American and not the Europeans who are out of step in their eating habits. In her first book of etiquette, published in 1922, she deplored our zigzag custom of constantly transferring the fork from one hand to the other. Another expert on etiquett Amy Vanderbilt, believes either technique is acceptable as long as it is performed with ease and grace. But she feels the Contin ental style encourages people to eat too fast and that European women who follow this style often bend too far over the table in a way that is not flattering to them. There is speculation as to the origin of the two methods and why j 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.

FRANK ARMFIELD, JR. I hereby announce myself a can didate for election to the office of Alderman from Ward 1 and pledge myself to abide the results of the Democratic Primary. JAMES M. LONGSHORE they differ. Mr. Edward Munves Jr. an an tique dealer, has another theory. He says the American way may be traceable to the robber barons of the 19th century. He says it prob ably was a form of pretentious ness on their part when they w r ent respectable. Mr. James Beard, the cookbook author, has yet another answer. According to him, it was consider ed to be more elegant to sit with one hand in your lap during most of the meal rather than to use both hands to simplify dining as the Europeans do. Whatever the origins might be, most Americans find their fingers turning to thumbs at least the first few times they try to man ipulate their silverware like their European counterparts.” Notwithstanding a lot of^criti- cism we have the best people in the world, the best manners and the best public decency. Of course in Europe, England, South Am erica I saw many uncouth Ameri cans, but in the nation as a whole I think we have the best conduct in the world. In other countries there arecultured people, but we have them her e too. The sober truth is that we have every thing ; n abundance here — vice and virtue, wealth and poverty, learning and ignorance, culture and uncouthness, generosity and graciousness as well as mean ness. Dean Manion « THE MANION FORUM “What most people are looking for these days is less to do, more time to do it in, and more pay for not getting it done.” “Most husbands wish their their wives could make bread like their mothers. Most wives wish their husbands could make dough like their fathers.” ALDERMAN WARD 2 I hereby announce myself a can didate for election to the office of Alderman from Ward 2 and pledge myself to abide the results of the Democratic Primary.

PARLER You may be tired of hearing about Federal spending. At the bottom of all this is the idea of political advantage; the people as a whole, don’t ask for all the items in the budget but the politicians think we want them and will re ward the men who advocate the handouts. The money isn’t stolen, it is just extravagantly spent. “There is a broad agreement that the Federal income tax rates are too high and act as a drag on the economy and that they should be reduced. At the same time there is deep concern about the contin uing upward drive of Federal spending, and ever-lasting Federal deficits of large magnitude. In presenting his 1964 expendi ture estimates, the President em phasized that he had ‘felt obliged to limit severely (the) 1964 ex penditure proposals’. Yet estimat ed expenditures for 1964 of $98.8 billion are $4.5 billion higher than those anticipated for the current year, $6.3 billion higher than the President estimated for his 1962- 63 budget, and they are $1 billion more than those recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1962. In fact, since 1954 the Federal Administrative Budget has in creased at an average rate of 4 per cent per year, and since 1960 (and including estimated 1964 spending) the annual rate of in crease has been 6.6 per cent. A continuation of this rate of expen diture increase will mean a Fed eral Administrative Budget of $136 billion or more by 1969.” Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Anderson are spending their vacation this ^yeek at Litchfield, near Myrtle Beach. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Hamm and son Laddy are spending their va cation this week at Myrtle Beach. Recent Marriages James O. Graham of Pomaria and Nelda A.

We still have the Monroe Doc trine, but now it is in reverse. For 135 years we told the world to keep its hands off the American continent, and now Khrushchev is telling the American continent to keep its hands off Cuba. This is a scandalous situation. Cuba is a Red Kremlin colony where Khrushchev is menacing the entire hemisphere with the spies, missiles, aircraft and army now in Cuba. Our National administration is sending our soldiers ten thousand miles to fight Communism in S. Viet Nam but any Cuban who dares to disturb Castro will be arrested by our Coast Guard. In 1898 we fought to make Cuba free and we are now using our military strength to keep it in Communist slavery. If we are afraid to do anything about Com munism in Cuba, what chance have we to do anything about Com munism in Berlin, Viet Nam, Eastern Europe or South Amer ica ? The current attempt to dissolve the nationalism of this Republic into the United Nations and then into a one-world govern ment is the very heart and core of the Communist plan to en slave the human race. The military power and econo mic resources of the U. S. are the last road-block holding up the steady march of the Soviet Union and Communist China to world conquest. The United States is made up of 50 sovereign states and on the Communist blueprint, these 50 states must be emascu lated ano reduced to provinces of an all-po verful central govern ment in Washington. They must be stripped of sovereignty and autonomy so that when the time comes for the Communist take over, it can be done in Washing ton. The States which created this Union, are now being devoured by the liberal, bureaucratic Fed eral Frankenstein in Washing ton, and there is rejoicing in the Kremlin at every bite the mons ter takes out of the bodies of its creators. Through the influence of the Liberal Establishment in Wash ington on the Supreme Court, the First Amendment to the Constitution, intended to pre vent the establishment of a state religion as in England, was twisted to mean that a sim ple prayer to Almighty God may not be uttered by public school pupils. The philosophy of the pseudo- Communist liberals has brought us to the critical financial and economic conditions existing in America today. Inflation and devaluation of the dollar have cost thrifty Americans $283 billion in the last 24 years. For example, a $5000 savings bond purchased with the so-called 100- cent dollar in 1939 is worth only about $2200 in today’s devaluated dollars in purchasing power. From these liberal groups in the State and Defense depart ments comes the muzzling of pat riotic American military officers, who consider it their duty to ed ucate our fighting men and wo men in the aims, schemes, and techniques of the enemy. If Conservatives are shouting mad today, there is good reason for it. Do the critics of so-call ed extremism expect the Amer ican people to be sweet and doc ile as they see their country dis integrating under pressure of a foreign, atheistic, satanical ideology ? The European Communist cap tives behind the Iron Curtain are particularly discouraged and de moralized to see our indifference to the plight of the Cuban people. What hope can they have for our help and encouragement in East Berlin, Warsaw, Budapest, and other places, when we are arrest ing Cuban exiles for disturbing Castro’s Communistic dictatorship in Cuba? Communism will fail in its aim of world conquest unless it is help ed by the United States; it can not achieve its global effort with out the aid and cooperation of this Nation. If we can restore the sovereignty and dignity of the 50 States in our Union, as assured by th6 Constitution, this Nation will never collapse into a dictatorship —socialist, Communist or Fascist!
