THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1963 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE Dean Manion • THE 3 MANION \ FORUM President Kennedy says that the test ban treaty is a “step toward peace.” The eminent scientists, Dr. Edward Teller, father of the hy drogen bomb, calls it, “a step to ward war.” Admiral Chester Ward declared recently that the treaty is a plan fpr the certain destruction of the United States. You can take your choice of these three predictions, but basi cally, and aside from its frighten ing practical implications, the treaty raises an important moral issue, which is all but completely obscured. For the moral character of this made-in-Moscow contract we must go back to the Prophet Isaiah: ^‘We have made a covenant with death and an agreement with Hell ^ . . We have made lies our refuge And under falsehood we have hid ourselves.” Isaiah 28:15) That, in words spoken 2,700 .years ago, is precisely what our diplomats did at Moscow. That FARM | - NOTESt evil deed—over and beyond its practical consequences for peace, war and our national destruction —that is the thing that should disturb us now. The evil of this treaty with the Communists is the basic evil in volved in any agreement with mil- , itant activated atheism] Moral Records Prove Valuable obligations of this treaty have no Most Newberry county egg pro meaning for the Communists be- dueers practice good flock man- cause Communism is, by its open agement. Evidence of this fact is profession and unbroken practice, an unmoral institution that recog nizes no obligation except force. The fact that we have made 50 that egg production per hen is 13 eggs per hen per year higher than is the state average, according to the South Carolina Crop Reporting agreements with Communists and Service. Since we know that most are shocked because they broke; Newberry county Egg producers them proves simply that we do not keep good records, we feel that understand the nature, of Com munists and or the nature of Communism. The recent agree- 1 ment made in Moscow under scores the persistence of that fa tal misunderstanding. Back in 1920, the Italian Ambas sador to this country asked our then Secretary of State, Bain- bridge Colby, why the U. S. re fused to recognize the Communist government of Soviet Russia. His answer was: “The responsible leaders of the fCommunist) regime have freely and openly boasted that they are willing to sign agreements and j undertakings with foreign powers while not having the slightest ii^- the use of such records has con tributed to this higher production and more profit from our laying flocks. Another value of such records has been demonstrated recently. The noise of simulated air and ground battles during Swift Strike III Army maneuvers caused a drop in egg production in many flocks in our county. In recent weeks we, along with some other interested folk have assisted the Army Claims Office in developing a formula for calculating this re sulting loss. Adjusters for the claims office have made one thing quite clear, flock owners who have daily rec- tention of observing such under-1 ords showing a loss of egg pro- Vi Any tise of type on any size RUBBER STAMP from the very smallest to the very largest.

In the view of the Government of the United States there cannot be any common ground upon which it can stand with a power whose con ception of international relations are so entirely alien to its own, so utterly repugnant to its moral sense.” Has the Soviet government done anything since 1920 to soften that official condemnation? Since then they have stolen our vital military secrets, perverted our public ser vants, counterfeited our currency, killed or imprisoned our soldiers and finally, in Paris Khruschev publicly insulted the President of the United States to his face. What is the reason for the pre carious state of the world today? The reason is embedded in the fact that since 1932 we have not had a President of the United States whose official actions re flected an understanding of the moral leprosy that is called Com munism. The test ban treaty is much more than a test ban. It is a uni lateral undertaking by the United States to. bring about universal disarmament and to invest the United Nations with sole control of all weapons and military forces in the world, including all of our nuclear laboratories, installations duction will have little trouble in settlement of their claims. Those who cannot produce such records will not find it an easy matter to obtain reimbursement for their egg production losses. Many other valid reasons can be given for keeping adequate rec ords. But we think this one in stance proves that records can be valuable. If you are in the egg producing business and are not now enrolled in our Clemson Col lege Egg Record Program, let us know. We’ll be glad to get you started. Temporary Silos Look Promising Got some late silage crop com ing on and no place to store it? Then consider what two Newberry county livestock farmers have al ready done this year. Simply stack the silage on top of the ground and stockpiles. The Kennedy Administration is committed to suicide and its agree ment with Hell for the promise of a world without war in which Mr. U Thant will keep universal peace —using American soldiers who will wear U. N. uniforms. But Isaiah prophesied that the promise will not be kept, that our agreement with Hell will be bro ken and when the “overflowing” scourge” shall pass through the land then all of us, including Uni ted States Senators, will be “trod den down by it.” (Isaiah 29:18). Let us pray that the Senators will remember that awful proph ecy when the roll is called on the Moscow treaty. and cover the stack with a plastic cover. Three such temporary silos already “built” this year look real good to us. The black plastic cover comes in standard length of 100 feet and varying width of from 12 to 40 feet. Once the silage stack is built are laid on top of the plastic cover and covered with plastic, old tires to hold it in place. Edges of the cover are brought to the ground and covered with dirt to make an air tight seal inside the ’’silo.” Less than 10c per ton is roughly the cost of such a temporary silo. If this method works—and w e have reliable reports that it cer tainly does, then there seems lit- tfr excuse for any livestock farm- ' who already has silage making equipment to run out of feed dur ing the winter. Not everyone can afford a new upright silo at the time he needs it. But most every one can certainly afford 30 to 40 dollars for a plastic cover to in sure an adequate supply of winter feed. If you want to find out more de tails from those who already have such silos “built,” then contact either “Straw” Paysinger or Al len Murray. Must Feed To Make Milk Dry weather usually means less grazing for our dairy herds in Newberry county or anywhere else for that matter. Thus most dairy farmers now find themselves caught in one of those “gaps” or periods where one season’s graz ing crops are going out and be fore the next season’s crops are ready to graze. Unfortunately some dairy farmers do not in increase their feeding program during such times and the result is a drop in milk production that can never be gained back. To keep this from happening during the present all-important base-form ing period here’s some suggest ions you may want to consider: First, use present stored feed such as silage and hay to keep production from sagging. A grad ual increase of grain or dairy ration can also help to keep pro duction up. Some will have a field of sorghum or soybeans that can be “green-chopped” to provide a good grazing substitute. Also remember that fertilizer and nitrogen topdressing will boost annual grazing now planted or winter grasses such as fescue in order to get something “green” for the cows to eat as early as possible. Control Flies: Fortunately we have not had a real heavy fly season so far this year. But we note that on_ mpst livestock farms, flies are now' increasing and will continue to do so until frost. Our observation has been that many cattlemen simply forget to dust or spray their cattle for fly control at this time of year. Logking A. bead ... by Dr. Gtorg* S. Benson PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansaa The cost is no higher ... and Fine Printing reflects credit upon your business The SUN does fine Printing of every sort BOGUS CRISIS Federal aid to education has never made much sense, and it makes a great deal less now than ever before. A decade ago we were debating the idea far and wide, at which time the alarmists were pre dicting the direst of consequences if the education of our children were left to the States. But we have gotten along quite well with out crisis or chaos, with the states assuming both the financial costs and the direction of our public schools. Even so, the alarmists are still rolling out the crises before each Congress. Education is of such a nature, it is true, that you never are quite satisfied, regardless of what you accomplish. This is as it should be. We are not satisfied, even when the progress is as tounding. There is no stopping place for achievement and excel lence. This is as it should be. But this does not give excuse to the National Education Association and other groups to keep their lobby oiled-up year after year, to manufacture incessant “ crises” for Congressional consumption, and to line up with every call for more and bigger government. FACTS ARE DRAMATIC We have come to rather expect the national party platforms and the occupants of the White House to go along with any lobby that looks like it can get out a signi- cant portion of the vote. Politi cians are reluctant to buck the education lobby, but it is a credit to Congress that when it loks for the facts it finds no school crisis to exist. The House Education Committee has again shelved the White House plans for federal grants to participate in the pay ing of teachers and the building of classrooms. The Congress remains unconvinced. Statistics assembled from the educational organizations them selves, as well as from the federal government, show that the states, counties, and cities have met suc cessfully the postwar boom of en rollments and classroom short ages, and are rapidly increasing salaries of teachers. The U. S. News & World Report has recent ly researched these matters, and its findings make a dramatic case for the idea that propaganda and exaggeration, not facts, provide the basis for these perenniel “crises” in American education. PROGRESS IMPRESSIVE Spending for public schools has quadrupled since the end of World War II, and even per-pupil-spend- ing is double what it was 15 years ago. Total outlays, including spending for colleges, reached al most $25 billion in 1960. This in cludes some federal spending for impacted areas, etc., but President Kennedy nonetheless asked for $1.5 billion more in federal funds for all the schools. Even the South has made substantial pro gress: eight of 11 Southern states have boosted teachers’ salaries more than the national average in 15 years. Earnings of public school teach ers have increased 164 per cent since 1946. The average of $5,940 for nine months of work puts the pay of public schoolteachers away ahead of averages of government workers and workers in private in dustry. This has helped improve teacher shortages and produce a more favorable teacher-pupil ra tio. Classroom shortages have shown marked improvements, des pite swelling enrollments. • These shortages have decreased by 24 per cent since 1956. To describe all this as crisis requires high imagination. WHAT THEY REALLY WANT What then do the proponents of federal aid, being more interested in propaganda than in facts, want? They say little about feder al control, although they are aw are that it is an established prin ciple that federal direction and control cannot be separated from the supplying of federal funds. There is some evidence that those seeking federal money actually want the federal control. Over view, a magazine of school admini strators, editorialized in 1960: “The long held view . . . that edu cation policy should be made by local units of government will have to go . . . the national wel fare demands a national system of education.” The U. S. Office of Education has projected its vision to include expanding federal programs of aid. And it declares the federal government “must also develop new avenues of assistance and patterns of educational leader ship.” This is one way of describ ing a centralized, federalized, so cialized school system for the whole nation, a system that would put all education right under the thumb of a federal administrator and the occupant /of the White House. i BIRTHS. ie; •• 'H'- KIBLER Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Leland Kib- ler of Route 2, announce the birth of a seven pound, 12 ounce daugh ter, Connie Elizabeth, on Septem ber 7 at Newberry Memorial hos pital.
