THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN An imperative need of the day is an Act of Congress defining the jurisdiction of the United States Supreme Court. When such a bill may be considered a companion bill might well be adopted regu lating the Federal Commissions. I marvel at the inaction of the Congress. True enough the Con gress itself and the President seem to have decided on acting as though there were no restrictions or limitations to their preroga tives and no reserved powers of the States. The latest case of judicial ar rogance is the order of the Court that Prince Edward county, of Virginia shall re-open and operate public schools and on a basis of integration. I quote a few words of the Governor of Virginia: “Gov. Albertis S. Harrison, a ‘country lawyer’ and former Vir ginia attorney general, Wednesday lashed out at the U. S. Supreme Court’s recent decision on Prince Edward county’s schools, but de clined to predict what the future may hold for the racially troubled region. On Monday, the high court cul minated a 13-year old legal battle over school segregation in Prince Edward and ordered the county to reopen its public schools, pos sibly by September. They were closed in 1959 to avoid desegrega tion. Harrison told his weekly news conference that he was ‘disap pointed’ with the opinion. Tt is erroneous and far-reaching,’ he said. ‘This could reach alarming proportions.’ Asked if he anticipated that public schools would be opened in September, Harrison said: I would not anticipate anything ... I only hope that come Sep tember, 1964, the children of that county have education available to them.’ ‘Will the county comply?’ a newsman asked. ‘I have no infor mation on that,’ he answered. ‘We are a law abiding people.’ The governor declined to hint at what course the state would take at the Federal District Court level where, the directing order is to be drawn. He said he had discused the matter with the State Attorney General but had not spoken with officials of the county. Harrison said he thought it would be ‘very ill-advised to com ment on the State’s proposed ac tion or in speculation on what the federal court would do. The governor said it was ‘the first time that a judicial body has ordered a legislative body: ‘You shall impose certain taxes on your people.” And this, he said, ‘raises more questions than it answers.’ There was no reason, no prece dent,’ Harison said. ‘They just issued a blank statement.’ He said however, he did not anticipate that a special session of the General Assembly would be called ‘at any time’.” That a court should presume to order a Legislature to .act: to impose taxes, etc., is a presump tion almost beyond belief. Read what the Constitution says. Congress should forthwith de fine the scope of the Supreme Court jurisdiction in clear langu age, almost language so clear that no twisting can turn it from the true course. The Congress should not delay to do this. All States have a vital interest, whether Re publican or Democrat; whether riding on the Johnson coattail or cooperating with any other can didate or political party. All the Congressmen, Senators, and Rep resentatives, represent States and they should resist every effort to by-pass the States or override their sovereignty. I must have wasted a lot of time and money studying the Constitution of the United States. Reading the daily papers I think some Congressmen and quite a number of Judges proceed at ran dom, acting on their judgment, and unembarassed by provisions of the Constitution. That condi tion also applies to the various Commissions and to the President. We might just as well adopt an amendment declaring' that “No thing in this Constitution shall be interpreted to limit the three departments of Government, any section or provision; but the wis dom of all officials shall be su preme and final authority in any and all cases, undeterred by any Constitutional inhibition whatso ever. My little question of last week arises again: Why are we losing men and millions fighting in Asia ? Why do we maintain hundreds of thousands of men abroad in var ious places? Are we combatting Communism ? Surely not, for it would be insane folly to wage war on Communism in relatively un important places while cheek-by- powl with Russia, the home of Communism ? In fact we are dodging the main body of the enemy while ■scouting all over the world for small detachments of Communism. Where is our Commonsense? Or have we fallen under the spell of foolish men and vain imagining?’ The enemy is Russia; the main force, inspiration and diabolic program is in Russia. If we must wage war on Communism why not start at the source ? I have become accustomed to the practice of claiming or asking Congressional support for matters clearly beyond the scope of the function of Congress, just as tho Congress had created this great Union. But I did not expect to read that the Southern B aptist Convention had authorized local Baptist churches to segregate or integrate at will. My! my! That is enough to make some stout and sturdy old Baptists protest from the heavens. The fundamental principle of the Baptists is local self-govern ment and complete authority with in each church. The Baptists hold as a cardinal principle that each church, large or small, is an ab solute and independent and sov ereign organization, owing no thing to any Convention. That being a cardinal, founda tional principle of Baptists you may wonder at a headline in one of our South Carolina papers say ing that the Southern Baptist Convention would leave the ques tion of integration to each church. Indeed! And when did the South ern Baptist Convention become authorized or empowered to “leave things to local churches?” The Conventions of Baptists are only associations of fellowship, but by no means organizations of authority. The smallest, poorest Baptist church is a sovereign or ganization of itself, deriving its power and authority from com munion with the Most High and not from Conventions. Baptists must be alert; already the Federal Government thinks it created the thirteen States and the Constitution!! The Constitution says— with reference to schools^—States, etc. “The judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity ar- rising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States.” In all cases affecting Ambassa dors, other public ministers and Consuls the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all other cases etc the Supreme court shall have apellate jurisdiction etc under such regulations as the Congress shall make. The Constitution even enters in to particulars. The Supreme Court: “To con troversies between states; between a State and citizens of another state etc.” “In all cases (before mentioned) the Supreme Court shall have apellate jurisdiction ... as the Congress shall make.” Even a mere modicum of know ledge should serve to prove that the order to open schools etc., is a gross violation of the Sovereign power of the States and should be regarded as such. My old friend and brother of the quill, Tom O’Connor of Allendale and Hampton, has something to say about the program or plan to abolish poverty. I think I should let Tom speak for himself, so here goes: “Nothing fascinates me quite so much as President Johnson’s war on poverty. As I have ob served before it is a war in which I was drafted many years ago and in which I have a pro found schooling. I wasn’t, it is true, born in a three - room shack, but I was born in a 3- room flat and while there were no Indians at the door there were other things like barrooms and business failures which gave the settler a rough time. I think I can match anyone on the pov erty bit. I started with nothing and have only slightly overcome that handicap. Any day now'the bottom can drop out and where is President Johnson? I think I should be at least a sergeant in the President’s war. A drill sergeant at that, because I have had more experience with make-do and do-without than most men encounter. For a long time I even did without eating, except for a bowl of cereal and a stale roll for break fast, an apple for lunch and a 60 cent table d’hote for supper. I have a lean and hungry stom ach. As in other wars the poverty army travels on its stomach which is why presently it is bogged down and can’t get a- way. I could certainly give the president a hatful of ideas a- bout poverty and ways to com bat it anytime he wants to send a vehicle down here to bring me to Washington for a White House luncheon. I even had experience with the WPA which hired me for a piddling stipend to teach some tobacco chewing women how to make baskets. I’d like to know whatever became of all those oak split baskets we made back in the haycon days of 1935. And what was President Johnson doing in 1935? I’ll bet he wasn’t working for the WPA. No, on second thought, he’d be smart to make me a two-star General in the poverty war.” Dean Manion • * fffrpjlgla • the : MANION : FORUM ; What is responsible for the ob vious decline in public morality, for the sagging respect for real, old-fashined human values, for the rising curve of juvenile crime, for vandalism in schools, criminal attacks upon teachers, and the alarming number of drop-outs in our schools? There is a common denomina tor for all of these things. For the first time in the history of this nation, we are witnessing an an almost deliberate attempt to debase everything which previous generations of Americans have held to be most sacred. We have told the generation growing up around us that there are no positive truths, no abso lute verities, no lasting values or standards of any kind. With this kind of a situation, it would be a living wonder if the young peo ple of our country did not react ir. exactly the way they are re acting. Past generations of Americans did not deliberately set out to teach patriotism, and yet patriot ism was a very real and vital thing to all of our previous generations. Patriotism stems from an under standing and appreciation of the history of our country, of our form of government. In too many schools today, history is not taught as history, civics is not taught as civics. These subjects are taught in courses labeled as “social stud ies” or “social living.” American history is the most wonderful, glowing, beautiful story in the world. It doesn’t have to be “jazzed up.” All any teacher has to do is to tell the truth, that this is the best, the finest and the freest land that ever has been on this planet. It is not we who built walls around ourselves to keep our people in and shoot them in the back when they try to escape. If school children are taught the facts, organized, disciplined sys tematic subject matter as it should be taught, patriotism will flow out of it as naturally as day follows night. < Discipline is an important facet of education. In former times, when a child had to be disciplined at school, his father took him to the woodshed when he got home and repeated the punishment. This had a saluatory effect upon the child. With the rise of behaviouristic psychology some 40 years ago, parents were told that Junior must not be spanked for his mis deeds because it would have an adverse psychological effect on the child. Naturally, if parents could not punish a child, teachers were not to lay hand on one and as a result nobody touched the child, regardless of his behaviour and the result is the worst be haved generation in the history of mankind. HENTZ REUNION BE JUNE 28 The descendants of the late Wm. A. and Orlena Abrams Hentz will held the annual family reunion on Sunday, June 28, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Hentz near Pomaria. All are urged to come and bring picnic baskets and tea. Prayer for Today Heavenly Father, grant that our hearts may be open to you and that we shall love you with all our being; through Jesus Shrist our Lord. Amen. ARE YOU LISTENING? By EARL WILSON Walking into a hospital room a short while ago I saw a man lying there with all types of medical paraphernalia arounr him. He had tubes in his nostrils, needles in his arms, and a doctor was bent over looking into his eyes. It was not difficult to recognize that here lay a gravely ill man. The family had already been notified that, this, their loved one could not live much longer. In thinking back about this scene, lam caused to make a a comparison between the ill man and this world in which we live. Our world today is sick. It is suffering from over-exposure to Communism, an overdose of Su preme courtism, and a definite lack of Christian conviction flow ing through its veins. Like the man suffering with a heart ail ment brought on by over-exertion, our world is suffering with a heart ailment brought on by the ex emption of God. A study of the Bible reveals that na civilization has ever ex isted that eliminated God from its being. Why do we feel that we will be any different? Why have our officials come to feel that they can pass legislation that (will do away with all references I to God in public life ? Perhaps the • fault lies with people who call themselves Christians. To be truthful, many Christians must confess that they have not been faithful to God. Whenever they have had to make a choice between going to a church meeting or a meeting at their club, the club has won out. If it is a decision between a revival at the church or a foot ball game at school, the football game has had the greatest appeal. We have become so determined that our children will be success ful that we allow them to neglect their Christian duties in order to attend some social function. While we have been neglecting God, the Communists have been teaching their youth to tat, sleep, work, live, and die with Communism in their hearts, in their minds, and on their tongues. Yes, our world is sick and near death. But the Bible says “If a man keep my saying he shall never see death.” Are you listening? MILLS CLINIC PATIENTS Margaret Rinehart, West Col umbia.

ON DISTINGUISHED STUDENT LIST Linda E. Satterwhite, Pamela Senn and Marcia C. Todd were Newberry County students named on the official list of “Distinguish ed Students” at Winthrop college for the second semester of the past school session. From Russell Mooney, Glendale, California: I remember when I was a little tyke living in Port Huron, Michigan, on the banks of the blue water St. Clair River, the border between Ontario, Canada and my home town. My favorite pleasure was to visit Lynn’s Ma rine Reporting Station, in Pine Grove Park, a short distance downstream. On a lazy summer day, huge 600-foot ships would pass, laden with ore and bound for Cleveland, Buffalo and other ports. Dennis Lynn would peer through his binoculars as ships approached, determine the name of the ship, then leisurely sort mail and newspapers for the crew, place it in a bucket and then start to row toward the middle of the river. He’d ask me to go along. As the ship rolled through the rapids, Lynn’s boat would come alongside and he would toss a rope to a deckhand. Our boat would be yanked forward and the exciting exchange of mail began . . . letters for those back home and men eager to receive mes sages, magazines and love letters. Then, our boat released, Denny slowly rowed the mile back to his office, to await another ar rival. All in a days work for Denny—but fun and a forgettable experience for a twelve-year-old.

About 100 boys and girls will be in for a real ex perience of “Camp living” this week. Camp Long is located near Ai ken on a beautiful 37 acre lake. It is one of the camps owned by 4-H club members and operated by the Clemson College Extension Service. Plenty of recreation is available including swimming and all types of sports. Instruction in water and traffic safety is given, along with special classes in electricity. Of course, no camp program is complete without a crafts program. The 4-Hers enjoy making small gifts from copper, plastic, leather and wood. Vespers programs each evening give real spiritual growth oppor tunities for all. In good weather these programs are held in a large, stone outdoor chapel or council ring beside the lake. The setting has much to do with the spirit of the program. Why not visit Camp Long and see for yourself? The showers last week certainly have helped the cotton prospects. After a long struggle much of the county’s cotton crop is beginning to grow. Guess these hot days and nights are just what it has been awaiting! Mr. Boll Weevil will be on his rounds, too. Thrips and aphids have been working all a- long. Better refer to Information Card 97, “Cotton Insect Control Recommendations for South Car olina—1964”—copies are still av ailable from our office. CHICKENS need plenty of fresh air! Feed consumption and egg higher than outside temperature, goes up. Chickens start panting and egg production falls when the temperature reaches 75-80 de grees. Egg size decreases and the shell texture is affected. When chickens are crowded, the tem perature in the house may be higher than outSjde temperature. Houses that are open to the floor are much cooler than tnose with only the top half of the front or side open. Houses with metal roofs can be kept several degrees cooler by spraying the tops with whitewash. Lime and water should be mixed to a thick consistency should be used as a thick coat should be used as a thjck ioat will flake off. Some poultrymen observe that about 60 per cent of this type whitewash stays on the roof of the buildings from one year to the next. The older the roof, the better the whitewash stays on. Chiikens cool themselves by breathing and drinking cool wa ter. Provide plenty of drinking space. This is important anytime; however, it’s more so in summer months. READ THAT LABEL! Chemi cals play an important role in our gardens and on our farms. Don’t forget that all of them can be dangerous unless they are used according to the directions on the container! It’s JUNE DAIRY MONTH! Don’t forget June is DAIRY MONTH. It’s time for telling your city friends about the virtues of dairy products. Remind them that ice cold milk is a most refreshing summer drink. Also that Dairy products are among the best food buys. COW HISTORY JUNE DAIRY MONTH is a good time to pay tribute to “cow history” that was made in New berry county this year. Vanity Sultan Queen, a registered Jersey cow of Dave Waldrop-s did it by making the highest butterfat rec ord ever made by a Jersey cow in this country. Last February, Queen completed a 365 day milking rec ord of 19,440 pounds of milk and 1346 pounds of butterfat. A special salute to Vanity Sultan Queen during Dairy Month!
