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!!

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

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.

REMBERT D. 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.”

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!
