THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1964 PAGE THREE THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN Ob, I find in my mail a circular from Martin Luther King, Jr. of Atlanta. Evidently he has bought a national list of names and is appealing for money. I do not know him and do not endorse his campaign. I quote his circular in part: “The Civil Rights Act, a landmark of law, did not emerge from a vacuum. It was the heroic movement of last year which forced it into Congress and accomplished its passage. But it will be a reality only if it is used and tested across the South. This law must not be treated with the cynical defi ance that greeted the school desegregation decision. The victory that was won in Congress can be won in the com munities. The present period is one marked by some gratifying compliance along with renewed defiance elsewhere. In many areas as Negroes pursue their goal of first class citi- senhip, new barbarities are devised to block their efforts with raw terror. Bombings and electric cattle prods are still widely employed; in St. Augustine pistol spraying acid were added, while in Mississippi, violence and lawless attempts at intimidation have reached new levels of depravity. It takes heroism to endure and persist against such ter rifying odds. Yet brave Negro and White allies are not fal tering. They gain some of their strength from the knowledge that in the past year approximately one-half million Negroes were registered to vote; that they are revealing to America the reality of segregation and discrimination. While we move resolutely forward we are mindful that actions must be planned and thoughtfully considered—that all their conse quences must be foreseen. Responsibility is as important as militancy. We pledge to continue both. Our organization, the Southern Leadership Conference, with the experience gained in Birmingham and our recent activities in St. Augustine, is a participant in Mississippi and is about to embark on action in other hard core areas to test the Civil Rights law. At the same time, we are ocupied seven day a week car rying on vitally important activities not reflected in head lines. Our salaried staff people are in over 20 Southern cities. We service hundreds of communities from Atlanta. We con duct hundreds of permanently established citizenship train ing classes to remedy the faulty education Negroes have re ceived and provide literacy education for the wholly unedu cated—penetrating the deepest backwaters of the South with a type of Negro self-help unique in our movement. The dedicated people doing this work are committing their 4lives. We ask you to be a part of this moral crusade in the most meaningful way possible—by aiding this vital work. In so doing you are helping a struggling people and a demo cratic ideal. You will aid one part of the population and yet all of the nation.” I need not comment further than to say that by having my name on this mailing list proves that this campaign must cover a mailing list of hundreds of thousands, white colored, and what have you. I do not know of any organization soliciting moral support and money to combat the activities herein disclosed. You will understand that in having my name on their mailing list they are terrifying a certain class of politician. Even President Johnson has changed so completely that he now defends and advocates and cherishes a campaign which lie, as a Senator, strongly denounced. One of the mysteries of our National policy is the so-called '“Foreign Aid,” a policy which has cost us more than sixty billion dollars. Even Senator Olin Johnston, a very loyal de fender of the Johnson administration denounces our foreign aid program. This foreign aid was born in the Truman Ad ministration, although the Roosevelt administration prob ably started the billion dollar aids during the war, although the prodigal spending was a military handout. I cite a dispatch from Washington: “The dougty fight in the Senate to steeply slash President Johnson’s $3.’5 billion foreign aid budget is seemingly doom ed to failure, but it is performing one extremely useful service. It is making crystal clear that this huge budget is only about half the amount actually being spent on for eign aid. The real total is more than $7 billion. Under various titles, designations and agencies, Congress already has voted the other $3.5 billion. The LITTLE-KNOWN FACT that actual foreign aid spending is in excess of $7 billion was admitted by Foreign Aid Administrator David Bell under questioning at a closed door meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. BRIGHT TASTE! MUK COMPANY DAIRY DIVISION Just be sure it's PET...yoi/ bet! s THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA (AHTNC)—Army Pvt. Gerald D. Koon, son of John D. Koon^ Little Mountain, completed eight weeks of advanced infantry train ing with light weapons at Fort Polk, La., August 28. During the training Koon received instruction in the use of the automatic rifle, the light machine gun and the 3.5 inch rocket launcher. He en tered the army last April and completed basic training at Fort Knox, Ky. The 22-year-old soldier is a 1960 graduate of Mid-Carolina High school in Prosperity, and a 1962 graduate of American Col lege of Technology in Atlanta. Before entering the army he was employed by Westir.ghouse Brake Company in Batesburg. Marriages... James Wayne .Guy of Kin- ards and Nancy Gayle McKit- trick of Chappells, were mar ried on August 23 at Kinards by Rev. Lawton L. Danzhertz. Phillips Myron Forbis, of Great Falls and Marie Rikard of Whitmire were married at Whitmire on August 30th by Rev. Earl Wilson. James Bert Chestnut of Che- raw and Judith Rae Brooks of Newberry, were married by Rev. Ralph T. Lowrimore, at Newberry on August 30. James David Vaughn and Mary Patricia Robertson, of Charlotte, N. C., were married on August 30 at Newberry by Revs. Paul Sherrill and Eddie Bland. William A. Evans and Gloria Deanne Moss of Whitmire, were married by Rev. Earl Wilson at Whitmire, August 28. Robertson- Vaughn Rites Miss Mary Patricia Robertson, who has been working as a nurse at Charlotte Memorial hospital since her graduation from the hospital’s nursing school, was married Sunday at 4 p.m. to James David Vaughn, assistant manager in the sporting goods de partment at the K-Mart in Char lotte. The parents of the bridal couple live in Newberry. They are Mr. and Mrs. J. Boyd Robertson of 1933 Johnstone street and Mr. and Mrs. Major W. Vaughn of 717 O’Neal street. The newlyweds will live at 1540 Garden Terrace Apt. 505, in Char lotte, where the groom lived be fore the wedding. They are to arrive there next Sunday after a honeymoon in the North Carolina mountains. They are graduates of Newberry High school. Mr. Vau ghn is a veteran of three years in the Marines. Rev. Paul Sherrill and Rev. Ed ward L. Bland, former and pres ent pastors of the church, offi ciated at the Newberry Associate Reformed Presbyterian church. The service opened with music by Miss Elizabeth Ann Ruff, organ ist, and Gregory Johnson of Sa vannah, Ga., vocalist. The bride appeared in a cham pagne peau de soie dress appli- qued with lace flowers at the sweetheart neckline. The gather ed skirt was flat in front; the back formed a chapel train. A peau de soie pillbox with cabbage roses at back held her waist length veil. She carried an orchid on a Bible given her by Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Davis, her uncle and aunt. Wearing white organza over yellow taffeta, Miss Nina Sue Price of Route 1, was maid of honor. Her yellow taffeta cum merbund tied in a back bow. The neckline of her dress was scooped and the sleeves were short. A tailored bow covered her head, and yellow chrysanthemums cov ered her white fan. Similarly attired were the bridesmaids, Misses Ronnie Lou and Judith Ann Vaughn, the groom’s sisters, Mary Louise and Kathy Marie Singley of Summer ville, the bride’s nieces, were flower girls. Gary Vaughn of Columbia was his brother’s best man. Ushers were Willie E. Singley of Sum merville, the bride’s brother-in- law; Harold Makison of Ander son, the groom’s half-brother, Broadus. Davis, the bride’s uncle and Larry Cotchcroft. For travel Mrs. Vaughn chang ed to a baby blue jersey suit and pillbox with white accessories. He made this highly significant admission in response to a question by Sen. Symington. This was disclosed on the Senate floor by Sen. Gruening of Alaska, who with Senator Wayne Morse, has been spearheading the determined effort to drastically prune the President’s $3.5 billion budget. Following is this revealing testimony: “Sen Symington: You present a figure of $3.5 billion. I turn that over to someone trying to be objective and say, ‘Give me what the true foreign aid figure is’. He then gives me a figure of some $7 billion as the actual amount of foreign aid we are going to give or loan this year. Is that figure cor rect?’ Bell: ‘Somewhere around that, yes, sir.’ Caustically commented Sen. Gruening who has been futi- lely battling to induce the Small Business Administration to grant 3-4 of one per cent loans to hard-hit Alaska busi nessmen and other earthquake sufferers, ‘We have heard much about this being a ‘bare-bone’foreign aid budget. That is not quite correct. It now develops that foreign aid spend ing for fiscal 1965 is to be in the neighborhood of $7 billion and not $3.5 billion.’ The Foreign Aid Administration and other agencies in that field have granted hundreds of millions in loans to foreign countries and businessmen at 3-4 of one per cent interest. But earthquake-stricken American citizens in Al aska are being required to pay 3 per cent interest.” How does that strike you? The prodigality of our natior Congress and President’s, so amazes me that I sometim e wonder whether the Wash ington atmosphere makes men crazy, or whether I am myself so bereft of ordinary horse sense that I also am crazy. I quote Tom Anderson in the South Carolina Farm and Ranch: “There is a burgeoning grassroots rebellion in this country. Millions of awakened and alarmed Americans have now gone to work to save our Republic from becoming a Socialist Union-Welfare dictatorship which is surrendering piecemeal to the communist-dominated United Nations. Neither Barry Gold water nor the Republican party can save our country. It will not be saved by one man or by one poli tical party. It WILL be saved not from the top down but from the bottom up. Goldwater is not the power-hungry leader trying to take over. He is the somewhat reluctant candidate impelled by his innate honesty, courage and pat riotism to try to restore our constitutional Republic. Gold- water is a shock to the politicians and press mainly because his is THE HONEST DEAL.” 5 Mr. Anderson is a straight-shooter and no pea-shooter at that: he dares to tell the truth in plain English. Candor compels me to say that the daily and weekly pa pers of South Carolina (most of them) are as straightfor ward as is Mr. Anderson. They may lack his punr\h but they are published by men and women who think ’.early and stand like sentinels on the watch towers. FARM NOTES 11111111111(111111,1111 Plant Fall Grazing With plenty of season in the land, every dairy farmer should have some fall grazing by the end of the first week in September. Forget about mixtures. Plant straight rye for that first grazing patch. Follow later with other small grains and ryegrass for a continuous supply of grazing thru the winter. Use only the newer varieties of rye, either Wren’s Abruzzi or Elbon. Our old Abruzzi variety simply will not equal either of these two. There are plenty of seed available. Don’t forget to fertilize well at planting and top-dress with nitrogen at plant ing or as soon as the crop comes up for early grazing. Fertilize Winter Permanent Pastures Our local fertilizer dealers re port that not much fertilizer has been sold for use on Fescue pas tures. It is a mistake to expect quality grass from poorly, or only average fertilized Fescue. Don’t use nitrogen alone. Use a complete fertilizer plus nitrogen or use a 1-1-1 ratio fertilizer such as 8-8-8 or 10-10-10. Use of the 1-1-1 ration fertilizer offers the convenience of one application doing the job. Time For Alfalfa, Too Our Clemson people believe we can continue to grew Alfalfa in spite of the Alfalfa weevil. It will take about three sprayings with approved insecticides next spring to give adequate control. Alfalfa should be planted in September. This will permit ade quate root development to with stand freezing weather this win ter. Last year, you recall, some acreage planted in September did just fine while some planted in October froze out and the stand was lost. High soil fertility is the key to getting a stand of Alfalfa, and keeping it. Either get a soil test or let us prescribe the amounts of lime and fertilizer for you to use. Alfalfa should be planted on land that has not been planted to either Alfalfa or clover for three to five years. Cotton Situation While cotton is still making in some fields, in others the insects have taken over. Now with the crop beginning to open and fol lowing last weekend’s heavy rain, some growers will likely have to defoliate. Since there is so much varia tion in this year’s crop, this mat ter of defoliation will have to be decided on an individual basis. It is best to wait until all young bolls from which you expect to harvest cotton are at least 25 days old. Those who plan to defoliate will have to obtain sprayer equip ment to put on the defoliant. Cal cium cyanamide is the only dust defoliant now available. The new er, liquid defoliants are generally considered more effective. Farm and Home Week We thought this year’s Farm and Home Week was a good one, except for attendance. However, we were glad to see many New berry folks at Clemson during the week. Those we saw included: Senator and Mrs. J. F. Hawkins, Mrs. T. R. Crooks, Miss Hattie Belle Les ter and Marcus Lester, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Long and son Roy, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mayer, Mr. and Mrs. William 0. Pitts and Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Crosson. Also, Mr. and Mrs. W. E Spearman, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Buford and Mr. W. A. Mason, Mr. Arthur Eargle and Mr. H. E. Koon. Of course, there were probably some others we did not see while there. We were especially proud of the eighty-five 4-H members who attended the Rural Youngfolks Day on Tuesday. Ronnie Cromer did an outstanding job as master of ceremonies at the 4-H Talent Show. Our sincere thanks to our local leaders, Mrs. Scott Boozer, Mrs. J. P. Boozer, Mrs. Ellis Kunkle and Mr. S. R. Amick who also attended with the group.
