Do Girls With Makeup Get All Yhe Boys?
THE WEEK’S LETTER: “In
your article, “Some Girls Use Too
Much Paint,” you say that they
look like ‘fugitives from a war
dance.’ I am in my freshman year
and I once wore all this makeup—
until I decided it made me look
like a ‘fake.’ But one thing bothers
me and I am sure it concerns
some other girls as well. Why do
these girls who wear this makeup
attract all of the boys’ attention?
Some girls, such as myself are
never really noticed by that one
important boy, except when some
help is needed with an algebra
problem.”
OUR REPLY: The girl who
wears the most p/int does not al
ways get the most attention from
the boys, and certainly is seldom
the girl that an “important” boy
would wish to introduce to his
mother.
It’s true that girls who wear an
abundance of makeup will attract
“whistles” and attention. But it
is this writer’s opinion that a
pound or two of the makeup would
be taken off immediately if these
girls could hear the comments
boys make about them after the
“whisUe.”
Sometimes a boy will unhesi-
tantly tell a girl she wears too
much “goo.” The wise girl gets
the message and begins to use
cosmetics as they should be used
—to compliment rather than dis
guise her natural appearance. The
girl who wears too much makeup
in order to attract attention does
not care what people say, so long
as she continues to attract atten
tion.
Makeup, however used, isn’t
enough to hold the attention of any
boy for long. The average boy is
more interested in general ap
pearance, personality, reputation,
and a number of far more impor
tant recommendations.

want to discuss, or an observation

THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN
The parade of a hundred thous
and, or five hundred thousand,
was an effort to impose the crowd
on the Congress. The Kennedys
may be enthusiastic about the
demonstration but it was an or
ganized demand that makes one
think of the mass movements in
Ancient Rome that indicated the
decadence of that empire and the
crumbling of the stability of the
nation.
The colored people are not en
slaved; they are the most pros
perous Colored people in the world
—they are drumming up demands
that are not soundly conceived
and are grossly exaggerated for
effect.
Now lets look into this mass
psychology.
If 200,000 Colored people can
impose their will on Congress and
some weak-kneed politicians let’s
see what w T e may expect.
Everybody knows that our taxes
are exorbitant and that our nation
is squandering money all over the
world, as well as here. And we
know that the graduated income
tax is unfair. If the Constitution
meant anything it would never
have been made a law.
You will clearly see that equity,
just common justice and fair-deal
ing should forbid that our Nation
should try to penalyze a citizen
because of his wealth. But that
is the law; we borrowed the idea
from Communists in the effort to
confiscate wealth.
If it be fair to impose a tax of
25 per cent then all should pay 25
per cent. The ordinary citizen and
From Mrs. Stephen Lambert-
son, Hazlet, New Jersey: I re
member when as a child the
neighbors would gather at our
house in the winter evenings. My
mother would play her guitar and
they would all sing. Dad would go
down to the milk room in the cel
lar for homemade crullers and
pears.
We children would go sleigh rid
ing on the nearby hills, by the
light of lanterns my father would
place at the top and bottom of
the hill.
In summer, and on the Fourth
of July the family traditionally
had a picnic. Dad would have the
ice cream truck drop off five Gal
lons. I remember how the driver
would stop and roll the five gallon
can across the front lawn.
In the evening, we children had
bags of fireworks—and loads of
fun.
• • •
From Mrs. Maude Davis, Per
sia, Tennessee: I remember when
farmers raised everything they
ate and there were no food sec
tions in the grocery stores where
one could buy everything ready
for the table.
There were no food freezers,
no cars to dash across the coun
try. Travel was on foot, horse
back, or in a buggy and folks had
time to stop and exchange greet
ings with neighbors along the way.
It is not the same any more.
Everyone is in a big rush and it
doesn’t seem like the good old
days when everyone was so happy
and contented.
(Send contributions to this eolnma
to The Old Timer, Box 89, Frankfort,
Kentucky.)
From Mrs. Urton Hayes, Pecu
liar, Missouri: I remember when
people had time to walk to a
neighbor’s house and sit ’til bed
time, visiting, singing, popping
corn or making candy.
The young people building brush
fires out on the ice in the winter
enjoying evening skating and
roasting weiners or marshmallows
. . . when people lived for people
and not for the dollar.
One neighbor was ahrays ready
to help another, with whatever
work was to be done, never a
thought of counting hours or for
pay, but for love of humanity.
When children walking home
from school, laughing, singing or
visiting aa they carried one an
other’s books and ate the remain
der of their lunches.
I remember good community
days at the schoolhouses, churches,
etc., where large baskets of food
were spread on makeshift tables.
We had such a good time enjoying
our friends.
Again, there were the days of
“patriotism.” Friends for miles
aruood would meet at a park or in
some beautiful clearing with bas
kets filled with food. Someone
brought an organ or a piano. We
listened to speeches, sang songs
of our country and the flag while
tiie younger ones had their games
and fireworks.
Mother, father and children all
worked, played and worshipped
together. When sickness did strike,
we knew neighbors would come
to hefc> care for us and, if need be,
ait Erring the nights for days or
weeks.
People had time for people,
home, children, God and Country.

Reel
the millionaire. Why charge one
man 25 per cent and another man
91 per cent.
It is no business of a free
country to penr.lyze wealth. Rath
er we should encourage every cit
izen to earn and enjoy all that his
ability and thrift and honorable
opportunity may make possible.
Suppose we have a march on
Congress of several hundred
thousand citizens who are exces
sively taxed. Would that demon
stration arouse the Congress to
enact laws of fair taxation?
Suppose we organize a march of
200,000 Southern citizens as a
demand for the repeal of many
laws of Congress and many deci
sions of the Courts which are
clearly not in the spirit of the
Constitution ?
Suppose we organize a march of
200,000 as a protest against the
present trend of the Federal courts
following the Earl Warren court
of 1954?
Suppose we organize a mass
demonstration in demand for res
pect for the 9th and 10th Amend
ments to the Constitution of the
United States.
Suppose we muster 200,000 as
a protest against citing the 14th
Amendment and demanding that
the courts disavow it as never
properly, lawfully, validly adopt
ed.
Suppose we muster 200,000 and
demand a recount of the vote by
which Mr. Kennedy claims the
presidency.
I cannot call names but a well
known and respected citizen o f
South Carolina told me that he
knew that 10,000 votes were either
miscounted or manipulated in this
State’s presidential vote and that
Mr. Nixon really was South Car
olina’s choice for the presidency.
I do not assert as a matter of my
knowledge or suspicion that Mr.
Nixon carried South Carolina but
that would justify a demonstra
tion about as validly based as was
the march on Washington recently.
I do not urge or even suggest a
march or demonstration to terrify
the Congress or repudiate the
Kennedy program; I am showing
that if our nation is to be govern
ed or swerved or influenced b y
marches or demonstrations then
we quiet, peaceable, law-abiding
and suffering citizens have excus
es for many marches or demon
strations.
Well now: since demonstrations
are the rule of the day and the
politicians are expected to be
ruled, persuaded and governed by
the mass marches observe a big
headline in the Aiken Standard &
Review: “KU KLUX BORROWS
TACTICS FROM NAACF” So
you see. And the Ku Klux chief
says t hat memberships are com
ing in so fast he can’t keep up
with them. Well, now!
The Standard and Review pub
lished a United Press dispatch
from Columbia which I quote:
“The Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan, now claiming 285,000 mem
bers may borrow some of the tac
tics of the NAACP.” So don’t you
see? ?
The Clinton Chronicle is a
sound paper and usually treats its
readers to a clear exposition of
public problems. I quote a recent
editorial.
“I once thought the Co-op bre
thren used all the Government fa
vors in order to sell electric pow-
says that memberships are com
panies. But some of the Co-ops
in Clarendon say that isn’t true.
Two prominent citizens living
across the same highway tell me
that the Co-op rate is higher than
the private company’s rate. A
lady of the county tells me that
her sister’s Co-op bill is much
higher than the private company’s
rate. So now, what what — and
why?
I think the committee of the
House which is investigating the
Tax Commission made an unusual
start. We must assume that the
House thinks there is a reason
for the investigation. Therefore
the complaints should be made so
that the Commission would have
some definite indictment to ans
wer.
•By hearing the Commission
first the Commission will have to
be heard again on whatever charge
or allegations may be against it.
There have been so many alle
gations of harsh, despotic and un
constitutional procedure by the
Commission and some Agents that
the indictment should be heard
first.
Our governor is studying the
problem of shortening the session
of the Legislature. As a lawyer
the Governor knows that the
Constitution prescribes 40 days,
but the Governor may be too
young to remember that the Leg
islature used to meet on Monday
and adjourn on Saturday.
That would bring about more
serious devotion to work than
now prevails. Then, again, if the
Legislature buckled down to work
for a short period there would not
be so many bright schemes for
spending the taxpayers’ money.
The Wall Street Journal carries
an account of the Kennedy pro
gram:
“Employers trying to open up
more jobs to Negroes are running
into a new problem—charges by
white porkers that they’re being
discriminated against.
White resentment over prefer
ence allegedly shown Negroes has
already flared into the open.
White plumbers in Cleveland re
cently complained bitterly that
‘special privilege’ was involved in
the hiring of two Negro plumbers
for a public constnzction project.
White post office employees in
Dallas are protesting that three
Negroes raised to supervisory po
sitions w'ere promoted ‘over the
heads’ of better qualified candi
dates. At Westehn Electric Com-
pauj the manufacturing affiliate
of American Telephone & Tele-
gru ;>h Company, a number of
white clerical workers are uphap-
py about what they consider fav
ored treatment for Negroes in
hiring and promotion.”
Our nation is plunging headlong
and heedlessly in debt. One day
the President calls for economy
and the next day he advocates
spending more billions.
The Congress likewise; and the
State of South Carolina does the
same, though in a smaller plane.
Let’s take a peek at Congress:
“Along busy Independence Ave
nue, a massive marble palace is
jutting into the Capital’s skyline.
By completion time next summer,
the block-long, 10-story colossus
will have cost more than $83 mil
lion. The sum is said to be the
most ever spent on a government
building in the U. S., perhaps in
the world. Big Government spend
ing? Indeed so, more specifically,
big Congressional spending.
The elegant edifice, which will
provide new office space for mem
bers of the House of Representa
tives, is costing more than the
combined sum spent for building
the Capitol and four other Con
gressional office structures now
in use. It illustrates a significant
but little-observed trend in Gov
ernment finance: Spending for
Congress and its affiliated agen
cies, while still tiny alongside total
Federal outlays, is rising at a
faster rate than for the big ex-,
ecutive branch. Some members are

SENATOR

HURMOND

PEOPLE
Superiority or Surrender
DEBATE in the U. S. Senate
over ratification of the Moscow
test ban treaty is waxing hotter
and is now boiling down to a
basic question of whether politi
cal or military considerations are
of more importance to our Na
tion. The Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee has indorsed
the treaty in a report which is
filled with rosy observations
about Soviet intentions in pro
posing the treaty.
FOLLOWING issuance of this
report, the Senate Armed Serv
ices Committee’s Preparedness
Investigating Subcommittee, of
which I am a member, also filed
a report with the Senate. The
report states that based on ex
tensive evidence presented by
military and scientific witnesses
in closed door sessions, the Sub
committee has concluded that
“the proposed treaty will, affect
adversely the future quality of
this Nation’s arms, and that it
will result in serious, and per
haps formidable, military and
technical disadvantages.”
THE PREPAREDNESS re
port lists 8 principal disadvan
tages which would flow to the
United States by ratification of
the treaty. They are as follows:
(1) We probably will be unable
to duplicate Soviet achievements
in very high yield weapon tech
nology; (2) We will be unable to
acquire necessary d*>ta on the
effects of very high yield atmos
pheric explosions.
(3) We will be unable to ac
quire data on high altitude nu
clear weapons effects; (4) We
will be unable to determine with
confidence the performance and
reliability of an anti-ballistic
missile system developed without
benefit of atmospheric opera
tional system tests; (5) We will
be unable to verify the ability of
our hardened underground sec
ond-strike missile systems to
survive close-in high-yield nu
clear explosions.
(6) We will be unable to verify
the ability of our missile reentry
bodies under defensive nuclear
attack to survive and to pene
trate to the target without the
opportunity to test nose cone and
warhead designs in a nuclear en
vironment under dynamic reen
try conditions; (7) The treaty
Trill provide the Soviet Union an
opportunity to equal United
States accomplishments in sub
megaton weapon technology; and
(8) The treaty would diminish
our capability to learn of Soviet
advancements in technology. »
WHAT THE Preparedness
Subcommittee is particularly
concerned with is preservation
of U. S. nuclear superiority in
the cold war. In fact, tin's su
periority must be of an over
whelming nature, not only to our
satisfaction but also in the judg
ment of the USSR, especially in
view of the fact that our leaders
have made it known to the world
that we will accept the first blow
in a nuclear exchange. All our
plans are bottomed on the idea
that we will be able to absorb
the USSR’s first strike capabil
ity, and then retaliate with
enough power to destroy the en
emy and win the war.
SINCE WE HAVE spotted the
enemy the first strike, we must
be absolutely certain that we can
indeed absorb the first blow, and
have left enough strategic nu
clear weapons to win. The So
viets, therefore, don’t need to
test as much as we to ascertain
weapons effects. In addition,
they may have already learned
enough to exploit our vulner
abilities so as to neutralize our
second strike capabilities in un
derground ICBMs and in under
water Polaris missiles, to such
an extent that they can win in
a nuclear exchange or that they
can demand U. S. surrender.
There is deep concern that the
Soviet superbomb either has, or
shortly will have, the capability
to neutralize many or most of
onr underground missiles, and
that the already-deployed Soviet
anti-ballistic missile system may
be able to stop U. S. retaliation
by Polaris missiles.
FOR THESE REASONS—and
I can think of nothing more im
portant than national security
considerations — I am opposing
this treaty, even though I realize
that to refuse to ratify the
treaty, since it was signed with
out the advice of the Senate,
may cause some international re
percussions. However, I share
the view of Dr. Edward Teller
when he warned that “if you re
ject the treaty this will be a
small mistake ... If you ratify
this treaty, I think you will have
committed an enormously big
ger mistake . • . You will have
given away the future safety of
this country.”
Sincerely,
feeling pangs of conscience, but
most seem blithely unconcerned.
Whereas the nation’s legislative
budget totaled $59 million 10 years
ago, the lawmakers now are con
sidering outlays of $168 million
for the fiscal year begxin July 1.
During this same span, total bud
get spending has increased from
$65.2 billion to an unexpected
$98.9 billion. The latest year-to-
year budgeted spending rise for
Congress is due to approach 12
per cent; for the executive branch
the ascent may be less than 7
per cent .
