THANK YOU I wish to extend many thanks to my friends for their support in the Primary Election Tuesday. While I was not elected, I shall never forget the help of my loyal supporters, which I appreciate more than words can express. Cecil E. Merchant Smith Cow Is Champ Producer A registered Jersey cow owned by C. T. Smith, Valley Farm Dai ry, Route 1, Kinards, has recently j received a 100,000 pound Milk Award from The American Jersey Cattle Club, Columbus, Ohio. The award went to the cow, Designing Bess Gem, which pro duced 100,831 pounds of milk— more than 50 tons—containing 4,- 648 pounds of butterfat. The production of Designing Bess Gem to date far exceeds that of the “average" dairy cow in the United States. All tests were checked by Clemson college and The American Jersey Cattle club. The 100,000 pound Milk Award aids Jersey breeders in selecting cows with consistently high pro duction over a long period. Connie and Ruthie Sanders are spending the week in Statesville, N.

The 23-year old soldier is a 1958 graduate of Gallman high school in Newberry. Test Ban Fatal To U.S. Interests By CLARENCE E. MANION By the time this column is read, the United States Senate will probably have ratified the latest nuclear test ban treaty, in spite of our past experience with the Communists and their treaties and in spite of the statements about treaties which the Communist leaders . have frequently made. Remember—they say treaties are like piecrusts—made to be broken. At least five months before the Soviets broke the last test ban treaty, it was predicted that they would do exactly that, just as it was predicted more than a year in advance that the Russians were converting Cuba into an offensive base. No one paid too much at tention to either of these predic tions until they came true. Both of these disasters could have been averted if our leader ship had been willing to face the proven facts of Communist du plicity and malevolence. Now, we are again refusing to face the facts in connection with the new test ban treaty. Because we want to believe the Soviets are sincere, we are proceeding as tho we know they are. Ratification of the treaty will freeze the United States in second place to Russia in the technology of strategic nu clear weapons. Our strike capa bility will be reduced rapidly compared with the Soviet’s mush rooming superweapon strength, and it will take the Soviets about a year and a half to put us in a position of being unable to retali ate against the military power of the Russians’ superweapons of annihilation. This could mean the end of our country. Managed news out of Washing ton confused the American people into forgetting what Khrushchev did in atmosphere cheating, and what our own President said then about protecting us from another such fraud. In November 1961 Mr. Kennedy said: “ ... if they fooled us once, it is their fault; but if they fool us twice, it is our fault.’’ We are now giving them another chance. Some Senators will doubtless feel that the necessity for ade quate safeguards against major cheating by the Soviets can be obviated by the United States maintaining a “readiness to test.” But the President himself has said that this is not possible. On that subject, the President said in 1962 that for us to maintain such a readiness to test “is not merely difficult or inconvenient; we have expored this alternative thorough ly, and found it impossible of ex ecution.” If we could be sure that the test ban agreement contains in spection provisions which the President says are essential to protect against secret prolonged preparations for sudden massive atmospheric tests; or that it con tains enforcement provisions, or penalties for cheating, to prevent the Soviets from betraying the second test ban exactly th e same way that they betrayed the first one, then we might take some com fort from the signing of this trea ty and its ratification. We should, however, remember that the Soviets’ first ban-break ing tests enabled them to multi ply their nuclear explosive effi- ci* ncy many times over their pre- ' jus efficiency, while our own superiority was at a standstill. During the period of the previous test ban treaty, the Soviets were obviously working furiously to get ready for the powerful weapons testing that occurred when they broke the treaty by exploding their big bombs in the air. During that same period, our own testing was stopped according to the trea ty and we had nothing in process of manufacture that would be any defense to these super-weapons developed by the Soviets while the test ban was in operation. There is not much that any one of us can do about the new test ban treaty, except to keep con stantly in our minds the results of the last one. And to keep re minding our Congressmen and Senators in Washington that we PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL Perry Andrews, Newberry. Mrs. Inez Amick, Prosperity. Mrs. Roberta Barr, Leesville.

Unfortunately, warnings are not always heeded, and disaster usually follows. In the instant cir cumstance, we have been amply warned by the Soviets themselves about what to expect from any treaty they sign. We have been warned by our own President that if we are fooled a second time on a test ban agreement, it is our fault. In spite of these warnings and the events that proved them correct, we are standing ready for that second time when the current treaty is ratified by the Senate. •••••••••• Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM A good one-word definition of Americanism is responsibility. Every American has a personal, moral responsibility, to his God, to his government and to his fel low man. Whenever a majority or even a large minority of our people for get this responsibility then the political and social institutions that we know as America are go ing to collapse and what we call Americanism will be buried in the ruins. James Madison said in the Fed eralist papers: “We have staked the whole future of our American political experiment not upon pow er of our government, ... we have staked its future upon the capacity of our citizens for self- government.” William Penn had said it in a different way a hun dred years earlier in this state ment: “Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.” Personal responsibility for what we do and consequently for what our society does is, imposed upon each of us by Almighty God him self. Every person has a little indiv iduating trademark which God has stamped upon him at the time of his creation, marking out his di rect, individual relationship with each person. Your fingerprint sets you apart from .everybody who now lives or who has ever lived on earth. In return for this individuation you have a personal responsibility 'to God and to your community and |to your government for the pro per execution of your God-given rights. ’ * 2 - Juvenile delinquency, adult de linquency, the increasing crime rate that’s disordering *oiir society, are all traceable ‘ tb somebody's failure to execute his or her per sonal responsibility. This is the basis of our freedom. Each of us has a personal res ponsibility for what bur govern ment does everywhere, in Katan ga, in Cuba, here and all over the world. We have h personal res ponsibility for what our govern ment did or did not do at the Bay of Pigs invasion. We have a per- j sonal responsibility for. the fact | that air cover was withdrawn, en- i abling those- rten to. be captured by Castro. We have-a responsibil ity for the one billion people who are now in Communist slavery all over the worlds > : We should be concerned about one out of every three persons on earth who are now under the gangster control' of Communism. We should be concerned about the fact that a million people starve to death in Red China every month. The Chinese can't execute that responsibility. They are liv ing under one of the most diaboli cal tyrannies that the world baa ever seen. The first way that we can ex ecute our personal responsibility in these matters is to realize that we have it. When we are keenly conscious of the personal respon sibility that we have for the mala* factions of the government, wa should then persuade someone else to admit his or her pers'val res ponsibility. If you can ge a half dozen or so of your acquaintance* to agfe^on this point, then form a little organization as you can make an impact upon your com munity and upon your govern ment. Nature demands order, and when society is disorderly, because of the lack of self-government then, of course, a despot comes in to enforce that order which nature deminds. This has been the pro cession all through history. We cannot shrug off this per sonal responsibility, or pass the buck to the police department, to the school board, to the community or to the Federal government. We cannot repeal the natural law.
