THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN
SPECTATOR —
What is a Southerner? What is
the quality that entitles a man
to regard himself a Southerner?
Once upon a time I had more than
a vague notion of the distinctive
attributes of a Southerner.
I recall the words of General
Robert E. Lee, with regard to
his resigning as an officer of the
United States army. You will re
call that General Winfield Scott
urged that General Lee remain
in the United States army and to
be made the Commanding General
of the Army. Said General Lee,
after long years of service as
Superintendent of West Point, la
ter as a calvary officer and Chief
of Staff in our army in Mexico,
“Save in defense of my native
State, I hope never again to
draw my sword.”
General Lee was a Virginian
and true to Virginia. No one could
deny that Virginia was a fore
most State in the formation of
our republic and in the prepara
tion and adoption of our Consti
tution.
We could not expect the same
attitude on the part of Mr. Ken
nedy because his ancestors were
subjects of Great Britain, living
in Ireland when our people won
the independence of the thirteen
colonies and formed a nation with
the rights of the States carefully
declared, then and emphatically
re-affirmed and fortified by the
Ninth and Tenth Amendments to
our Constitution.
At the time of the formation of
our Nation as a republic under
a Constitution a vast area of ter
ritory to the West of us was
part of Mexico. Most of the peo
ple there were Mexicans, spoke
Spanish and knew nothing of our
republican government and the
Constitution.
Nearly 70 years later a vast
part of the Mexican area known
as Texas was admitted to the
Union.
Whereas most of us were indoc
trinated with British law our
Texas neighbors were speaking
•md thinking in Spanish and with
no back-ground of liberty or con
stitutional government.
In the course of time we had
Presidents who had no background
*>f constitutional government; to
day we have a native of Texas as
President.
I do not think he has a consti
tutional fellowship with General
Lee or George Washington, Thom
as Jefferson, James Madison, John
C. Calhoun, the Adamses of Mass
achusetts or other forthies, in
cluding Daniel Webster, Robert Y.
Hayne and Alexander Hamilton
and others; his background just a
hundred years or so is Spanish-
Mexican.
The Greenville News reminds
us of how great men change their
minds, for example:
“The Greenville News points out
that the fortunes of politics and
the wielding of power make a man
change his viewpoint. The news
is oh-so-right.
Take the case of Lyndon B.
Johnson. Speaking May 22, 1948
at a rally in Austin, Texas, he
said:
‘This civil rights program, about
which you have heard so much,
is a farce and a sham—an effort
to set up a police state in the
guise of liberty. I am opposed to
that program. I fought it in the
Congress.’
But speaking the other day at a
convention of the United Auto
Workers in Atlantic City, Presi
dent ‘Linen’ remarked:
‘We are going to pass a civil
rights bill if it takes all sum
mer’.”
So now; what say you?
they want to, can have more time
to spend with their families or
with their hobbies. The next ques
tion is, are you, as one of Am
erica’s housewives, making the
most of your spare time ?
Are you expanding your inter
ests, developing your hobbies and
joining in the fun of the do-it-
yourself trend? Good! 'But, most
important of all, are you using
the time to get to know your hus
band and your children better, and
giving them a chance to really get
to know you ? There’s no better
way of spending your spare time
if you are.”
Here’s where Robert Stein
rushes in where angels fear to
tread.
I’ve just read someone’s remark
that women live longer than men
because women never retire, but
carry on as long as they live,
though “hubby” retires after so
long a time and wears himself out
doing nothing.
“Do housewives lead more ex
citing lives than their husbands ?
Housewives, a brave American
claims, lead more exciting lives
than their husbands do.
Magazine editor Robert Stein
told the General Federation of
Women’s clubs that the house
wife was ‘playing a direct and in
dispensable part in shaping her
children’s lives’, while her husband
was ‘involved in meaningless work
in order to feed and clothe them.’
Despite this praise, American
housewives are seething indig
nantly. Household chores, they
claim, are boring. And, to make
matters worse, are likely to start
at 7:30 A. M. and not end until
the last dinner dish is washed—
seven days a week.
From clearing the table to the
final kitchen wipe-up, hand wash
ing takes an average of about 30
minutes. Dish washing machines
can cut this time in half, saving
about half an hour a day, or seven
full days a year.
No field of housekeeping offers
more timesaving tricks than clean
ing. It is estimated that thi? av
erage family spends 17 hours a
week in vacuuming, keeping win
dows and mirrors spotless, dusting
furniture, polishing floors and
other household cleanups.. Even
those who have the latest wonder
appliances often squander minutes
and footwork by using them in
efficiently.
A typical American housewife
cooks more than 57,000 meals in
her lifetime. She also walks more
than 300 miles in her own home.,
No wonder she doesn’t gladly a-
gree with Mr. Stein.
The monotony of housework is
such a common complaint that
the American Institute of Family
Relations has a special course for
bored housewives called ‘less work,
more fun, for houseworkers’.
All American housewives, if
What is the condition of our ag
riculture. Ponder this:
“They tell in brief a good deal
about the famous farm problem
and how it is steadily worsening:
In fiscal 1955 the Department
of Agriculture spent $4.6 billion;
in 1963, $7.7 billion.
In fiscal 1955 direct government
payments to farmers came to
$229 million; in 1963 to $1.8 bil
lion.
In calendar 1955 net farm in
come was $11.5 billion; in 1964
it is estimated at $11.6 billion. 1
At the end of fiscal 1955 sur-1
pluses amounted to $6.7 billion;
at the end of 1963, $7.3 billion.
And while the farm population
declined by nearly five million
from 1955 to 1962, the number of
Agriculture Department employ
ees increased from over 85,000 in
1955 to an estimated 115,000 in
1964.
The figures, all from govern
ment sources. The statistical point
hardly needs laboring; something
is radically wrong when taxpayer
costs, surpluses and bureaurrc
rise without increasing genr.al
farm well-being.
To begin with the more or less
obvious, there is no single prob
lem. Farming and farms are high
ly varied; for convenience, how
ever two broad categories are rec
ognized—commercial and small-
scale.
Both types are still mainly fam
ily operations, though it is the
small-scale variety that the poli
ticians usually have in mind when
they talk about the ‘farm family.’
Commercial farms represent only
about 40 per cent of the total and
yet sell almost 90 per cent of the
products; the other 60 per cent
of the farms sell only a little
more than 10 per cent.”
ARE YOU
LISTENING?
The Bible does not neglect to
teach that hatred and hostility do
exist. Because of this fact Christ
ians are instructed to love those
that they want to hate, and to do
good to those who create hostility.
Not only are they to love them
but they are also to carry the gos
pel to them.
It is possible for a person to
put on such a front that he com
pletely fools the world as to his
real self. But no person can put
on such a front that will deceive
himself or his family. A man can
be a hypocrite in front of the
world but not to himself. The
same thing is true in the church
family. A Christian’s faith is re
vealed by his attitude toward his
church and his willingness to be
of Christian service to his com
munity.
Our faith is really put to the
test in our daily problems and the
needs which arise right here at
those who tried to settle there.
During the early years of the 19th
century, hunters, traders and
trappers came in increasing num
bers. After the Mexican war end
ed in 1848 and with the Gadsden
Purchase in 1854, the territory be
longed to the United States. The
struggle for admission to the Un
ion as a state began in 1877, but
it was 35 years later, in 1912
before Arizona made it as the 48th
state.
Arizona’s climate is one of her
greatest resources. It is indeed the
Sun Country, where Old Sol gives
a command performance almost
every day. Phoenix claims about
85 per cent sunny days. Summers
are cool in the high mountain
areas of northern and eastern Ar
izona, and in the Southern parts
( f the State the winters are
faithfully dry and mild. This
fine climate has made Arizona
both a summer and winter tourist
attraction.
It is claimed that ‘there is
something for everyone in the
‘Grand Canyon State.’ For the
artist and nature lover, there is
the unsurpassed natural color and
beauty, the Grand Canyon, the
Painted Desert, mountains, mesas
and wide open spaces.-The out-
doorsman is offered game hunting,
fishing, boating, riding, hiking.
Students of history and archeology
have a wealth of old missions, pre
historic cliff dwellings and petri
fied porests to see and study.”
home. It is one thing to talk a-
bout being a Christian when you
are not being tested. It is quite
another thing to stand firm for
Christ when you faith is being
j put to the test. A study of the
Bible reveals that if we are
strangers to our brothers, we are
1 also strangers to Christ. This is
| a hard truth, but it is still the
truth.
Paul, in his letter to the Ro
mans, and James, the brother of
Jesus, teach us that mere mem
bership in the church is no guar
antee of faith. Our generation has
been referred to as the “paper
age of Christianity.” By this it
is meant that we make great
claims and high-sounding resolu
tions on paper, but that they make
little or no change in our lives.
The Bible says “Be not overcome
of evil, but overcome evil with
good.”

'God resiateth the proud, ord giveth grace to the humble*
—Proverbs 3:34
How often it happens in life
that the man of truly great
wealth is not impressed by his
riches; that the men of achieve
ment thank others for helping
them to succeed.
Pride can be a truly false vir
tue. The man who boasts to the
world about riches or success
may be inwardly discontent be
cause he feels he should have
done better—and holds resent
ment for those who have
achieved greater fame or riches.
There is much more to be said
for humility. The individual who
practices humility does not pre
tend to be something which he
is not. Humility eliminates the
need for pretense and brings with
it a sense of real pride in what
we are and what we have.

‘War on Poverty’—
Federal Education, No. II
TITLE I of the “war on pov
erty” bUl now pending m both
houses of Congress would estab
lish 3 federal youth programs—
' a Job Corps, a Work-Training
i program, and a Work-Study pro
gram.
WITHIN 2 YEARS, the Job
Corps would put 100,000 boys
and girls between 16 and 21
years of age in conservation
camps to provide them work,
vocational training, and educa
tion. The cost woidd be $4,706
per youth per year.
UNDER THE Work-Training
program, agreements would be
made with public or nonprofit
private organizations to pay aD
or part of the wages of unem
ployed young people to work for
the organizations. Hie bill does
not specify what type of work,
bat provides only that it cannot
be on “facilities” to be used
“soUly” for religious purposes.
This program is scheduled for
200,060 youths at a cost of $150
million.
THE WORK-STUDY program
would cost $72.5 million the first
year, to be used to pay part of
the salaries for part-time jobs
for graduate and undergraduate
college students from “low in
come” families.
THE WORDS which best de
scribe this Title of the bill are
“duplicative and dangerous.”
THE JOB CORPS cannot be
justified by the usual, but hol
low, claim of the power concen
trators that the “States are not
doing the job.” The States are
doing the job—better and cheap
er, and without the dangerous
potentials of the “war on pov
erty” approach. South Carolina
provides a good example.
SOUTH CAROLINA has a
successful and effective technical
education system. Eight schools
are now graduating approxi
mately 1,000 students each
month, all of whom are employ
able in their own local commu
nities, something to which no
thought has been given in de
signing the Job Corps. The cost
of these technical schools, which
train both technicians and crafts
men, is only $440 per student
per year, of which the student
f«yu $144, as compared to $4,700!
CVot vrtpartd or printed
per student per year in the Job
Corps, all of which is paid by
the Government.
THE FEDERAL Government
has many programs already es
tablished which accomplish the
ostensible purpose of the Work-
Training programs. One is .the
Vocational Education Program,
for which almost $57 million was
appropriated in 1964, and an
other is the $165 million Man
power Development and Train
ing Act and its Special Training
for Economic Progress. Under
this latter program alone, ad
ministered by the States, South
Carolina has a total of 22 schools
teaching everything from read
ing and arithmetie to bricklay
ing and chambermaiding. Nearly
85% of those finishing the
courses have been employed.
THE SO-CALLED Work-
Study program is a wide-open,
thinly-veiled federal aid to edu
cation program which is not
limited to public colleges, but
can be used without limitation
for aid to private and religious
colleges as well.
THE POVERTY CZAR would
have almost unlimited power
over these programs. Not even
the type of training or education
is specified in the bill, mnch less
the curricula to be taught The
bill does not even attempt to set
standards of admission which
could prevent the job camps
from becoming “racial ghettos”
or camps for juvenile criminals.
The only certain understanding
about the programs is that they
will be completely integrated.
NONE OF THE programs in
this title would require the Pov
erty Czar to consult or co-oper
ate with State, local, or com
munity officials. Under the Work-
Training program, he would have
the anthority to pay the salaries
for young people to work for
the NAACP. CORE, the Nation
al Council of Chnrehes, or even
the Black Muslims.
TITLE I of the “war on pov
erty” bill would create a new
and separate education system
in the United States, to be op
erated and controlled by a Fed
eral Government bureaucrat with
unprecedented powers.

THE

FORUM
Not many Americans have read
or even heard about State Depart
ment Bulletin 7277 which provides
for complete United States dis
armament in nine years. It pro
vides for a police force under the
U. N. to keep the peace of the
world. Under the program outlined
in the Bulletin,‘the United States
and all othe*' powers would be dis
armed. Only^pelice forces to pro
vide internal security would be
permitted.
A study called the Phoenix study
financed in part by foundation
funds ard in part by the U„ S'.
Disarmament Commission, sug
gests a union of the United States
and Russia to keep the world’s
peace. It is replete with tech
niques to effect accommodations
with Russian dictators.
Two of our Air Force planes
have been shot down recently for
inadvertently flying over Com
munist territory in eastern Eur
ope. As an example of the extent
of our accommodation with the
Kremlin, our radar detection sys
tem was ordered to reverse its
search direction by 180 degrees, so
that instead of searching the air
for Russian trespassers in free
territory air space, it now searches
the air approaches to the west in
order to warn our own planes not
to fly over Russian territory.
Another example of our accom
modation was the White House
decision on March 11, 1961, not
to build any more strategic bomb
ers. The decision was made with
the hope that it would lessen ten
sions between the Communist and
the United States, although the
Russians made no such promise to
us. Such a promise on their part
would, of course, have been no
good.
We also agreed to ban nuclear
testings in certain respects al
though Russia had completed much
of their testing and we had not.
Civilian planners in the State
and Defense departments seek to
reduce our own striking forces so
as to achieve parity with those
of the Communists.
They do this knowing full well
that it is most probable that the
Communists are not only not re
ducing their military force, but
are likely increasing it.
This concept of achieving parity
in striking power to avoid war
runs contrary to human exper
ience. Peace, experience teaches,
is achieved through strength ra
ther than weakness. World War II
would never have happened if in
the 1930’s, Britain, France and
the United States had built air-
power stronger than the Luft
waffe. The medicine for all our
problems, both domestic and for
eign, seems to be dollars. Even
now our plan for Southeast Asia
is principally more financial aid.
But it is clear to those who have
a good understanding of the prob
lems in that area that American
dollars and the present American
leadership cannot guarantee that
the Vietnamese will fight an all-
out war and our own military of
ficers are forced to sit by and
watch all of Southeast Asia slowly
slip into the Communist camp.
Their hands are completely tied by
the absence of a sound United
States foreign policy. The only
foreign policy we seem to have
is to appropriate more millions to
pour into the area in the form of
foreign aid. It has been clear for
a long time that this is an area
where we cannot buy our way out
of trouble.
