BY EARL WILSON *•* ., , This column is written especially with our hiph-school seniors in mind, but will apply to any who may read it. It was the custom of the stu dents of the high school, during their Senior year, to spend a week together in either Washington or New York. This was an event that was looked forward to with great anticipation. The tales brought back from that week only spurred the Juniors on to make big plans for the next year. The planning committee was meeting, and their plans appeared that this would be the biggest party in the history of the school. •Some of the boys suggested walk ing the streets all night. The girls squealed with excitement. Another proposed that they carry their bedding up to the roof and spend the night “under the stars.” As the plans continued it appeared as if their party would have no reins at all. At this moment, Betty stood up and said, “I want to sug gest that we do something that no other class has ever done.” The gang was all ears. “Go on, Betty,” someone shouted; “what else is there to do that we have not al ready thought of?” “My suggestion,” said Betty, “is that we all get up early Sunday morning, and go to church to gether. It is my custom to go to church each Sunday, and I would like to have you go with me.” Many people have the custom of going to church when they are at home, but fail to go when they are visiting in some other place. The Bible teaches us that we need be the same wherever we go. Let us pray that we may have the strength to be faithful wherever we go, and whatever we do.

Turner & Taylor Next to Newberry County Bank Gerald Taylor Howard Turner In South Carolina after a swim, beer is a natural On a hot summer day, a dip in a cool stream can be wonderfully refreshing. Equally refreshing when you’re relaxing afterwards with friends is a hearty glass of beer. There’s hardly another bev erage around that suits what you do for fun as much as beer. Camping, hiking, or just lounging on a lawn chair-beer brings to each just the right touch of extra good living. Your familiar glass of beer is also a pleasurable reminder that we live in a land of personal freedom and that our right to enjoy beer and ale, if we so desire, is just one, but an important one, of those personal freedoms.

Anniversaries invoke mem ories and some of the outstanding broadcasts over the ten years are worth quoting, because they are just as applicable to the problems of today as they were to the prob lems of the day of the broadcast. Ex-president Hoover, for ex ample, said in his 1959 broadcast: “For over 40 years, most of the Western world has been engaged in an effort to find some workable relationship or some basis of peace with the Communists. In these efforts, the Western world has had some bitter experiences and by now should have learned some lessons as to the whole com munist purpose . . , “The first of these lessons is a realization of the utterly differ ent concepts of international re lations between thi Communists and ourselves. We are a Nation whose actions are based upon re ligious faith and the moral codes which have sprung from it. The atheistic Communists, who deny all religious faith, have no code of morals such as that to which we must adhere. “This reflects itself in our sense of moral obligations to agreements into which we have entered; whereas, the Communist concept is that agreements and treaties are an obligation only so long as they are of use to Communists. “I need only to point to the agreements at Yalta and Pots dam, which provided for free el ections in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Rom ania to establish their own forms of free governments. The bitter lesson from this experience was that the Western world failed to stand firm in holding to those agreements. We stood by and witnessed the death of Freedom in five nations.” In 1959 another broadcast was heard over the Manion Forum net work, a speech by His Eminence Richard Cardinal Cushing, in which he said: “Today, whole libraries, as well as the graves of some 20 nations and at least 40 million people, bear witness to the deadly political science of a movement whose conquests exceed the combined em pires of the greatest conquerors in history, aid whose accelerating capability to lay waste the world is the touchstone for determining our national and even our private objectives . . . “Marx—Engles—Lenin— Stalin Khrushchev have produced the Communist man; he is enslaved, silenced, a little better thon a dumb animal. Christ and his Gos pel have produced saints; they are free, perfect men, a little less than the angels.” The more Communism changes, the more it remains the same. The Manion Forum is pledged to continue to fight for America and to preach American patriotism. JlmBEfi" ^ BY From Ileen R. Madsen, Woon socket S. D.: I remember my grandmother saying “My how times have changed!” Then she would go on to say “when we were first married, you would look down the land and see a covered wagon full of people coming down the lane and immediately think, ‘where will I sleep all these peo ple?’ ” (You had already recog nized the team and wagon.) Along came the Model T Ford and all that changed. When you saw < someone a-chugging up the lane you would say, “well, what am I going to feed them?” People would come to visit just for the day. Then, she said, “along c&me those fast cars and you no longer had to worry whether you bad room to sleep the visitors or food to feed the guests because they didn’t even stay long enough for tea. Transportation has really changed our ways of entertaining and visiting.” Grandmother also told about the time my uncle had an attack of appendicitis. There was no doc tor where they lived, so they had to wait for a train. The whole fam ily went along because there was no one to leave the children with and they rode the train more than one hundred miles to the town where the operation was per formed. They brought ice and put it in fruit jars to pack around my uncle on the train to keep the ap pendix from bursting. They were met by an ambulance which rushed him to the hospital for the operation. He is alive to this day, a healthv man.
