THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1964 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. SOUTH CAROLINA RASE THREE Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM It has truly been said that peo ple will never surrender their lib erty except under some delusion. The current delusion is that the obvious evils of racial prejudice can and must be eradicated by legislation establishing stringent new protections for what goes by the name of “civil rights.” When the present civil rights bill, now pending in the Senate, is enacted into law, it will destroy the last remnants of the vital, con stitutionally-reserved powers of the States. Beyond that, it will cut a wide swath through the personal control of privately-own ed property that will leave the principle of personal privacy it self in a precariously vulnerable position. tinder the guise of promoting “equality” this measure will con geal the centralized authority of the Federal Government over ev ery business enterprise in the country, which will, henceforth, be subject to continuous investi gations and harassment by roving commissions of bureaucrats, for ever on the prowl for offenses which the bill names but does not define. No person can read this bill and tell exactly what it permits or prohibits. Thus, for the protection of these new “civil rights”— whatever they may turn out to be —our traditional government by law gives way to unpredictable government by legally-unrestrain- ed men. Judged by all that they declared officially and successively for more than 160 years, every panel of judges that made up the Sup reme court before the appoint ment of the present Chief Justice, would have invalidated all that is contained in every one of the 11 titles put together in this omni bus measure, which its Congress ional friends and foes alike admit is the most comprehensive bill ever introduced in the Congress of the United States. -But the im pressive list of judicial precedents that would have been dismember ed this measure line by line ten or fifteen years ago, have all been discredited and/or overruled in the past ten years. Under the Constitution, Cong ress has nothing to do with the election or selection of Presiden tial electors, yet the pending Civil Rights Bill puts the Attorney General in charge of policing this and other features of the States’ election laws. Proponents of the bill assure us that it will carry no criminal pen alties for its violation. But in every one of its titles, the Attor ney General is authorized to ob tain Federal court injunction a- gainst a violator of a “civil right” and for the violation of such an injunction, the offender may be summarily fined or imprisoned for contempt to court. When all rights have been swept into the category of “civil rights” the Marxists will have triumphed at last. A civil right is a mere privilege conferred by some branch of civil government, unlike a “God ARE YOU LISTENING? I 1 BY EARL WILSON ,'Y C> “And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the gar den in the cool of the day; and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the Garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, ‘Where art thou?‘” Genesis 38-9. Quite often little children ask questions that adustlcannot ans wer. When we are stumped by a questions that adults cannot ans wering it as long as we can with the hopes that it will be forgotten. In our text today we see the first question that God ever asked man. God and Adam had been on good terms, and Adam had loeed to' hear the voice of God, and then suddenly things changed. One day God came looking for Adam and could not find him. It was here that he said “Where art thou*?” ( J. Sin had entered into Adam’s heart, and now he was tTying to hide from God. Just as this was true in the days of Adam, it is true today. Men are playing hide- and-seek with God because of the sins that have filled their lives. This is exactly the reason why only one out of four church mem bers will be found in their church on Sunday. Men stay away from the house of God because they have sinned against him and are trying to hide from his presence. Just as Adam was discovered, we today need to be reminded of the words of Christ which say, “Be sure your sins will find you out.” The same reason that keeps a person from going to church will keep him from reading the Bible or praying. Bible reading and prayer will always bring a person close to God, and the person who is wilfully sinful in uncomfortable in the presence of the living Lord. Recently we have read of several kidnapping attempts, each of which has been foiled and the kidnappers arrested. A man said the other day, “It looks like a man would learn from the exper iences of others that he cannot kidnap a child and get away with it.” This is true, and today we should learn from the experiences of others that we cannot hide from the presence of the Lord. Our Lord, who said, “As many as re ceived him, to them gave he pow er to become the sons of God.” also said, “Ye cannot serve both God and mammon,” Are you listening? given right” which is inherent in every human being. Marxists propagandists spread the delusion that civil rights, granted by the State, are more important than human rights of life, liberty and property. Like any bad means to a good end, this bill will serve merely to make the end itself despised, and the people who contrived it, hated and reviled. FIRE LOSSES GO UP-UP-UP The National Board of Fire Underwriters estimate that the nation's loss from fire last year will total 1.4 billion dollars, up 11% from 1962. That's a lot of money. % Don't let a property loss in '64 catch you with a policy that you have neglected for years. A call will bring us running and there are many ways we can be useful. * 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 POLITICAL Announcements FOR SENATE I hereby announce myself for re-nomination to the State Senate from Newberry County and pledge myself to abide the results of the Democratic Primary elec tion.

BUNDRICK THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN The Constitution of the United States is, more or less, a docu ment of historical value but of very small effect in this glorious era. Sometimes I glance over the Constitution, recalling that, in the long ago, I attended a class one hour and a half daily, for [ six months, studying the Consti tution; and read thousands of pages of Supreme Court decisions interpreting the application to the cases of that period and the decades preceding. Except as an intellectual exer cise I think that time was wasted, for I am now under the conditions of this day—in the condition of the little boy who said to' his mother after his first day at school: “Mother it aint no use for me to go to that school no more; they don’t teach nothing that I know.” I am willing to waste my time —and your time too, to remind you that the Constitution provides: T at Congress is empowered “To ;clare war”; to make rules for the government and Regulation of the land and naval forces.” As to war: why are we main taining 15,000 men in theatres of war in Africa and Asia? Why are we supporting a hundred thousand men in Europe? I ask you. Not only the Executive power runs abroad at random, but ob serve the Supreme Court. It now undertakes to compel the States to reorganize the Congressional districts. Even if we concede that it should be done it should be by Act of Congress, not the court. The Constitution says: (If you will indulge this little fad of mine in citing the Constitution, which, it seems, has been relegated to in nocuous desuetude, meaning obliv ion, in the ponderous phrase of President Grover Cleveland). “Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states . . . according to their respective numbers.” No authority is conferred on the court by this. But what is the area of jurisdiction of the Supreme court? “The judicial power shall extend to all cases in Law and Equity, ; arising under this Constitution. ’ And that means on appeal, not something started by the court itself. Nowhere is the authority of the Supreme court to meddle with the representation in Congress. The Constitution also provides that the Congress shall have power “to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises.” If the Con gress fails to do that shall th* Supreme court intervene and di rect the Congress, or lay the taxes by Court order? Or shall the court decree such taxes by direct appli cation to the citizens df the Na tion? The President shall have power “by and with the advice and con sent of the Senate, to make trea ties.” Even so, but we have and have made all sorts of arrange ments with foreign nations with out any agreement with the Sen ate. Another little matter: We are selling goods abroad and having the payment made in foreign funds to our Embassies; and Congress men travelling abroad may apply, for money from those funds with out any Act of Congress and with out accounting to the Nation, so far as I’ve heard. But what right have they to such funds, account ing or no accounting? If you or I were travelling in Europe, Asia and Africa might we pick up the equivalent of a few thousand dollars for our pleasure? is the making of glass in Venice. On the island of Murano in that canal laced city there are 116 glass factories. According to history books, glass-making started there thru the Benedictine monks. One by name of Domenico is mentioned in glass making annals as early as 982. First, glass was made thru- out the city of Venice. Now, its manufacture is largely restricted to the island of Murano to avoid spreading fires. Murano glass is known for its color, lightness and transparency. A famous practitioner of the art of glass-making whose work is still on view was Angelo Barovier, who lived in the 17th century. His famous nuptial cup is in the Mu rano Museum and other exquisite pieces by him are in other Euro pean museums. Travelers are fascinated by watching the actual making of glass articles. They find that dif ferent types and colors of glass call for varying ingredients but, one ingredient is constant: sand! The glass is melted during the night and when it has been brought to the right temperature it is ready to be worked. The maestro, or head workman, draws a lurpp of incandescent glass out of the cauldron with his blow pipe. He gives it a preliminary puff. Then he returns to the furn ace to get another lump to add to the first. On and on the pro cess goes according to the article to be made. Each glass factory has a show room. The articles travellers want to buy range from glass beads to goblets and vases. Stained-glass windows and mirrors are also made in Venice. No visit to fascinating Venice is complete without seeing this old world craft of glass-making. Both modern and antique designs are available.’ (Just think of all the sand of our sand hills and the Sanders, a numerous citizenry and splendid people). is a hair dresser there. Even so. In other words, we speak “Am erican, ’ which is a variation from “English.” To my v r ay of thinking I needed a hair-undresser, for I wanted it cut and put away, as a lawyer might say. It once was said that travelling was broadening, but our ladies are likely to confine their travels to the mountains and steep climbing I think I may have told you a- bout an incident in my visit to Scotland. Arriving in Edinburgh at night and leaving next morning for a trip thru the Lake country of the Poets I was back in the beautiful city somewhat bewhisk- ered. So I walked down beautiful Princes street seeking a shave. I asked at a dozen places for a barber shop. Perhaps after an hour I approached a man at a place, the man and place being the first man and place I asked for a bar ber shop. So this gentleman, being gracious, asked “What did you want?” I told him “A barber shop.” But he asked further “what did you want to get?” When I said “a shave,” he said, “Well, right in here is a hair-dresser.” So there you are: a barber shop In calling attention to the course of the Presidents and the Supreme Court, I sometimes re member that the Congress over steps its Constitutional bounds and presumes to invade the reserved powers of the States. That seems to be the order of the day, for our General Assembly steps aside from the Constitution sometimes and de liberately tramples on it at other times. I was strongly hopeful that our Governor would take the bull by the horns or clean the Augean stables of classic renown. But that was expecting too much, for we have no Hercules at this time. But the State Budget Commiss ion has deftly side-tracked and de liberately violated the State Con stitution and the heavens haven’t fallen, so everything must be grand and noble, eh? The only practical suggestion I would offer is that our State Bud get Commission take care lest the Federal Supreme Court hear about the confounding of the Constitu tion by mingling Executive and Legislative functions and then up set the apple cart. “Economic Illiterates,” that’s what too many of us are, and maybe it’s businessmen’s fault. A large manufacturer asked its young Executive Trainees (high school and some college graduates) Make Plans For Greenville Meet Final plans and program ar rangements have been completed for the forthcoming semi-annual circuit assembly of Jehovah’s Wit nesses Friday, Saturday and Sun day, March 13-15.

Griffin, district supervisor and traveling representative of the Watchtower Society, will deliver a special public talk on Sunday afternoon, March 15, at 3 p.m. en titled “Facing Up to the Urgency of our Times.” “Benefits of the program will carry into all communities in the circuit as delegates return and ap ply the Scriptural principles learn ed,” Mr. Brooks said.

Many of our members returning from the British Isles shake their heads in disbelief at the many variations between English as spo ken in the British Isles and the supposedly same English as we speak it here. One traveler jotted down a list. Here is his report: ‘Over there we drove by a private school, but our guide said they called it a public school. We stopped for gas, but he asked for petrol. We passed a truck, but he called it a lorry.’ ‘Now if that doesn’t make you dizzy, one day I was looking for a newsstand and was told I would have to find the bookstall. And, when I finally got my paper, I mentioned the editorial. You guessed it . . . they have another word for that. They call it a lead er.’ ‘To them, movies are flicks and a college teacher is a don; an ele vator is a lift and an apartment is a flat. Our cookies are their biscuits. And, if you want to end on a note of confusion, When you make a phone call over there and are connected, they say you are through. Oh, well, vive la differ ence! One of the reasons we travel is to experience the differences be tween people.’ ‘One of the many reasons why people like to tour Europe is to shop. In particular, they are in terested to watch the making of hand-crafted articles not normally found in the United States. One bygone art, still practiced today, Chevrolet Impala Convertible Nothing feels steep in a Chevrolet Impala (including the price!) A hill is just something to admire the view from in a ^ Chevrolet with engines up to a 425-hp V8*. And if Chevrolet can go over a whole mountain so you hardly feel it, you can imagine how it goes over plain old bumps.
