PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1964 Are You Listening? By EARL WILSON In our modern homes we have come to take the electric light for granted; but we must remember that the only light to behad in the days of our Lord came from smalt oil lamps that they carried in their hands. Each person who travelled in the dark was compelled to take his own light with him. Jesus often used these lamps as illustrations for his sermons. Because of the lack of lights we might think that they did not worship at night, but this is not so. We read in Acts where Paul preached until midnight one night. How did they see? In the place of worship they hung a large brass holder from the center of the roof. Each person who came to worship would put his lamp in one of the holders. It is easy to see that before anyone arrived the church was in total darkness. Each time another worshipper arrived his lamp added more light. By the time they were ready to begin their worship service the building was very well lighted. This must have been in Paul’s thinking when he said, "For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord; walk as children of light.” (Eph. 5:8). These Ephesian Christians were living in a time of spiritual darkness. Not many had yet received the knowledge of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Here Paul is encouraging these Christians to be a light wherever they go. One Christian would not be much light, but he would be a start. Each time another Christian was added to the church the darkness of sin was dispelled more. In today’s modern world it is extremely difficult to dis tinguish between a person who is a Christian and one who is not. This is true because the Christian refuses to let the light of Christ shine in his own personal life. Jesus said, "Let your light so shine that men may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.” Are YOU listening? BY LLOYD BfRWMGHAM IK HARDY FAMILY MP MADE A BY LINDA NORRIS TOURING THE 1930’s, most of A-A the musical world was playing a waiting game ... Famed Austrian pianist Artur Schnabel was slowly recording his way through the Beethoven sonatas— Schnabel would no more hurry a recording session than he would a Beethoven tempo- and each new disk was at\event... The whole series ranked as a masterpiece. Schnabel died in 1951, and his old 78 rpm records soon became obsolete in the LP age.” So commented Time Magazine of the incomparable recording ses sions between 1932 and 1937 dur ing which Schnabel recorded the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas . . . Schnabel’s performances were de scribed in the same article as “something so compelling that mere perfection would seem pal try by comparison”... For Angel, the “Great Recordings of the Cen tury” technicians have remastered and technically improved the orig inal 78's in a 13-disk set that in cludes a booklet containing the original Gramophone Society an notations by Eric Blom. The great Angel album featur ing the inimitable Artur Schnabel is entitled “Beethoven: the Com plete Sonatas for Piano” and it is without a doubt one of the finest pieces of musical art ever per formed on wax ... Lovers of the classics will find many an hour of enjoyable solitude in this skillful and expert interpretation of the great composer . . . It comes in hi-fi only, not stereo, but is a last ing impression of the world’s greatest music that should find a welcome place on the shelf of every noteworthy musical library. GAME OF NUMBERS . . . Six- year-old John Scott of Para gould, Ark., first graoer, is learning the use of an abacus, which he is holding. Larger one. made of clothes pins, is us*d for class instruction.

Lwking A head ...by Dr. George S. Benson PRESIDENT-NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas What Goes At Grass Roots? Columnists such as Alsop, Lipp- man, Reston and others, who cus tomarily mark off the conserva tives as not even there at all (only the extremists), must remain rather shaken after the Republi can National Convention. Many of their readers still do not un derstand why the bulk of writers and commentators and pollsters who directed their barrage against Mr. Goldwater could have insisted that voters were not behind the conservative candidate, even tho convention delegates were there because of primary victories in some instances. Wishful thinking, do you suppose? Apparently these communicators are out of touch with the grass roots. Such’ observers are unaw are that citizens have acquired a new ability to evaluate issues. We have been in the front lines in this business for nearly 30 years. At first, the public was genuinely receptive to the conservative plea. Many were amazed, yet apprecia tive, that anyone would have the gall to oppose the collectivization of America. The past few years have brought bitter attacks from the far left, but these have not stopped the great surge of re-ed ucation that is reviving America. A good example of orientation in American princiules is that be ing encouraged by the Public Af fairs Department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. One of the Chamber’s recent “Here’s How” reports describes the Valparaiso, Ind., Chamber of Commerce as having sponsored several series of training sessions in their area in a six-month per iod. On conclusion, 130 graduates of the 8-session series were honor ed at their annual dinner, and this led to formation of new groups throughout the community. No experts were called in. Everything Was voluntary and local. Their annual program explained it this way: “An economy is the sum totak of the work and the will of the people in it. Untess Ameri cans understand how our economy works and what it takes to make and keep it strong, stable and growing, we may not be able to meet the Communist challenge. If our free competitive enterprise system is weakened, our most ef fective weapon in the cold war is sabotaged, our biggest advantage is lost and the balance of world power may be tilted to the side of the Communists.” Sometimes in the Chamber’s public affairs program, as in Rapid City, S. D., an individual asks himself what he can do about it and answers his question with personal action. There George Moses, a tailor who is largely self- educated, got hold of Chamber of Commerce material and helped set up a speakers’ bureau. He joined the Toastmasters to learn to speak, then went out and spoke to 100 audiences last year. He also has moderated courses on politics, economics, and Communism for 119 consecutive weeks and is said to still be going strong, intending to carry on indefinitely. This kind of dedication is giving the people a new look at public affairs and citizenship responsibility. In Gastonia, N. C., the Chamber materials were used to spark a series on economic education in classes at Ashley High School. This developed because the local Chamber had invited teachers to join discussion groups it sponsored for the businessmen. Some very spirited classroom discussions re sulted from use of Chamber ma terials in history and economics groups, with students taking a piercing look at Communism and comparing it with the American system. Their conclusion was that free enterprise must be defended and supported. It is the world’s best, they said. Adult Education, Too Regular adult education courses have also been provided through this program. At St. Louis, for example, two adult education cen ters as a start each formed a group of eager students wanting to learn how to be politicians at the grass roots. An industrial re search chemist was the moving spirit. By the second semester, 12 school districts and two YMCA’s had joined in starting classes. The truth of the matter is that the principles of Americanism as opposed to Communism have been explored by so many at the grass roots that tremendous progress has been made in real citizenship education. Not every collectivist has been converted, to be sure, but the amazing progress that has been made is attested by the cur rent resurgence of the conserva tive spirit in party councils. The next step, naturally, will be to take as much of this to the White House and to the Congress as possible.

Americans are finding ways to expand borrowing for everything from appliances to college tuition, to trips abroad. Many use mort gage loans for non-housing pur poses, an action that one econo mist argues ‘tends to exhaust as sets on which further borrowing can be done’. Borrowing against life insurance policies increased $562,000,000 in this year’s first four months, up nearly 6 per cent from a year earlier. About half of America’s fam ilies owe installment debts. And many ‘are in debt right up to the hilt’, argues Alan Greenspan, pres ident of a New York economic consulting firm. A quarter of the nation’s 60,000,000 families have at least a third of their annual income committed to paying off debts, he figures. He believes that ‘there’s little question' we’re ap proaching levels of effective debt capacity’, above which many fam ilies would find it tough to take on further debts and, at the same time, keep up their payment schedules. To be sure, personal savings are also at record levels, and nearly equal the nation’s private debts, which last year reached $378 bil lion. But the persons with sub stantial savings, of course, rarely are those paying off debts.” How true; those going further into debt are probably not in creasing their account in a Sav ings institution;' they are just “riding high, wide and hand some”, as someone remarked. More or less they nave the at titude of the spenders in the time of Louis XV, as I recall the French profligate ”t.fter us the deluge.” Yea, verily! May we hope to avert a deluge? Raymond Moley, explaining the significance of Goldwater’s tri umph over the opposition says: “A protest against a domination of the Republican party by liberal Republicans of the East and the Northeast has grown greater and greater during the Eisenhower years and since.

It is no mere coincidence that it was the delegates from those areas who dominated the convention and preferred Gold- water as the candidate, ■But this protest, which has grown into a veritable party rev olution, had its beginnings well before Goldwater entered the Sen ate and years before he became a candidate for the Presidential nomination. His part in this change has been in innumerable speeches over the country and in his articulation of the principles in which these dissidents believe.” If you think I am a severe critic of our Federal Supreme Court hear what one of the Justices says —he is a member of the court, mark you: “To put the matter plainly, there is nothing in all the history of this Court’s decisions which supports this Constitutional rule. The Court's Draconian pronounce ment, which makes unconstitution al the legislatures of most of the 50 states, finds no support in the words of the Constitution, in any prior decision of the Court, or in the 175 year political history of our Federal Union.” ‘ A headline in a great weekly says: “How Americans labor in the furious pursuit of leisure.” Now, now; unfortunately that is true: we can no longer enjoy hours of calm with a good book; life is full of trivialities known as pleasure. “Weekends are generally thought of as days set aside for leisure. Leisure, though it has many defi nitions, generally implies a rather peaceful kind of activity or no ac tivity at all. But either weekends will have to be reexamined or the word leisure will have to be re defined once more. Pease is no where in the weekend picture— or, if it is there, lies somewhere in a corner obscured by dust and turmodl. The weekenders golf, ski, bowl, and boat. They dance, tell jokes, and make love. They drink stand ing up and sitting down.They go to theaters, art galleries, and con certs. They plan with their child ren, go to church, and sell dented brass candlesticks at P. T. A. baz aars. They build things, repair things paint things, and plant things. Many a business official has said he’d be pleased if the weekday people threw themselves into their work with half that much spirit. - « The weekender pursues com panionship with a furious energy that sometimes looks a little like panic. He collects friends as one might collect stamps. He knows it would be pleasant to have a small gang of really close friends (and he sometimes thinks wistfully of his school days when he did ), but what he wants today is a big, gay crowd of likeables. He emphasizes quanity mort than quality. Subconsciously,per haps, he feels there is saftey in numbers. The more friends he has, the smaller is the likehood that a Saturday night will find him not ’doing anything’. One of his worst nightmares is that of being alone whale others socialize.” Dm Covered-Up Look Drwt Pattern No. 5277. The Covered-Up look.
