J .. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1964 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE MANION FORUM Conservatives, founding their beliefs in a knowledge ot history, know that welfare statism leads to bankruptcy, anc centralization of power leads to ^tyranny. They know that a judiciary which is conscious of its oath to support the Federal Constitution is essential to the preservation of our freedom s. Liberals also have their convictions. They know the money barrel has no bottom and that the Constitution is obsolete. They believe that by law, we can be made to love our neigh bors and that property rights and the freedom to associate are relics of a bygone age, and that the end justifies the means. But all of us, whether Liberal or Conservative, know the transformation to collectivism was accomplished through usurpation of power to rewrite the Constitution and to legislate judicially by the Supreme Court. We all know that the Supreme Court over which the people have no direct control, has by judicial fiat largely accomplished what Great Britain could not do by arms in the Revolution. Judicial legislation is normally more destructive of our rights than Congressional enactments because while the latter may, at the behest of the voters, be repealed or amen ded by a new congress, the former, as pragmatical fact, is subject only to the passing fancy of five judges. Judicial free-wheeling is the proximate result of failure on the part of the public to understand the purpose of the three branches of government. Many citizens fail to com plain about the expropriation of power by the Supreme court because they do not know that the legislative function be longs solely to Congress. If I were a Communist, I would understand that my hope to take over America rests in the premise that constitutional government can be destroyed, and that the way to accom plish that end is to persuade the President to issue illegal -executive orders all in the name of humanity; persuade the Supreme Court to ignore constitutional restrictions, in the name of modernity; persuade the doo-gooders to demonstrate, •create strife, and to debunk and belittle the principles upon which this country grew and prospered and became the first nation on earth. I concede that the members of the Supreme Court have the privilege of believing a new and different form of gov ernment is better than one under which this nation became great, but I respectfully suggest that the rules of the game require that the fundamental changes they advocate be made by orderly amendment in the manner prescribed by the Constitution. I suggest we should press the members of Congress to regain their oaths of office and protect and defend the Con stitution as they promised, to reassert the powers of the Congress to do its own legislating, to exercise its Constitu tional authority to curb the usurpations of the Supreme Court and to fix limits beyond which that Court may not go as the extra-legal arbiter of our social, business, religious and educational life. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Looking A. head ...by Or.

M. 1 mile from Prosperity on Highway 76 (Prosperity to Newberry Highway) All white citizens of this area are urged and invited to attend this meeting to hear some outstanding lead ers of our organization speak on the truth about the enemies that face our state and nation. Sponsored By THE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA KLANS FLAVOR CHAMP! PEI FRESH MILK For some weeks ahead our nation will be considering its future. Personalities and par ties will clash, charges and counter charges will fly, and words by the millions will be thrust upon the public consciousness. Enduring all this, we must look for the issues and the ideals rather than get side tracked with superficialities, to see if we can discover mean ing that will give insight and direct our actions as responsi ble citizens. America is going to need, if it ever has, a well- informed electorate this November. Both camps of partisan disputants are going to try to make the opposition look bad. Each side will try to show that whatever is wrong with America is to be laid at the doorstep of the other. At the same time, each side will assume as much crecn« ^s possible for the good things that are enjoyed by the U. b. A. All this is expected. Some of it will make sense and some will not. Any emphasis on the negative is bound to suggest to foreigners, as it usually does, that we are ob sessed with Puritanism, defeatism, aad self-destruction. Stocktaking Time This, of course, will not be the whole story. Free and open debate, even with exaggeration, is useful when nearly everyone is making observations and evaluations. This stocktaking that comes every four years is essential to our kind of “democratic republicanism.” It is an inventory, of sorts, to help us see what we are, what's ahead, and where to go. In the process, lest we become pessimistic while con sidering whats wrong with America, we must not forget that a great deal is right with our nation. We have the greatness to cherish and preserve as well as big challenges to face. Before we buy any of the catchwords being offered in this political year, we ought to ask what the programs embraced will do to the America we already have. Do the programs offered for such future greatness build upon American principles? The promise of “The Great Society” being held out by President Johnson suggests that the American Way is not enough. The necessity for change, some argue, justi fies gigantic effort toward some new Utopia, such as that dreamed of by Karl Marx and other authoritarians. Initiative, Anyone? Can this Great Society that the President talks about really eliminate poverty (which is sometimes the result of shiftlessness or lack of ambition, etc.) or does he have in mind just another Marxian way to redistribute the wealth? If this Great Society is to bring absolute equality to all, where none is bigger nor smaller than his neighbor, what is eft in this impossible Utopia for man to do for himself? room apartment corner Johnstone ^ J ., . , r” » . U 4. .1.1. 11 and Holman streets. Just repamt- We are not describmg the American Way, but the all- powerful state that “takes care” of us all in its particular, prescribed, pre-punched way. What we already have, the private enterprise system, has done more to distribute goods and wealth into the hands of the people (even the unambi tious) than any system ever thought of by advocates of non-freedom. Why we do not cherish it enough to do piore to liberate it and encourage it to work even better? Instead we keep talking about what government can do for the people! We Can Improve Ourselves In foreign policy areas, we are told that if we take a strong stand against Communism our friends and allies will not like us. Yet, the only time in the present decade., that the nations of the free world have rallied unanimously be hind us was when President Kennedy told off Khrushchev in the Cuba affair. Then when we relaxed that firm grip, resuming the old non-interference policy, a Soviet fortress was created in our hemisphere that has enslaved., its., free people and infiltrated the rest of the hemisphere.... Weak ness produced a bigger problem than we had before. Admiral Areligh Burke was recently asked about Amer ica’s weaknesses. He answered that our people seem unaware of their own apathy, that we are reluctant to face problems that are difficult to solve. He was critical of our apparent 1 ackof moral courage to stand on principles, or even to have strong principles. He scored our unwillingness to compete or to get involved in unpleasant situations, as well as our grasp fo rthe easy, quick way out. These are not weaknesses inherent in the American character, but they do show that we have not had our own best interests at heart and have been reluctant to lead the free world. Nothing is wrong with America that sound policy and principled leadership cannot cure. Faith Lutheran church, 76 By- Pass at Harrington street, an nounces ♦he beginning of its week day church school on Saturday, September 12, and a change in its Sunday morning schedule, begin ning September 13. The weekday Church School will begin at 9:30 A.M. and run until 11:15 A.M. on alternating Sundays. There will be classes beginning with the four yea rold kindergarten age running through the seventh grade. The seventh grade class will be the first year catechetical class Grades three through seven of the Wesley Church school will be us ing the new Parish Education Curriculum of the Lutheran church in America. Mrs. J. L. Bo land is superintendent. On Sunday morning, September 13, a new schedule will go into effect. The Sunday church school will begin at 10:00 A.M. as usual. But the Service of Worship will begin at 11:15 instead of 11:.00 as in the past. The purpose of the change is to accommodate the new Parish Education Curriculum in the Sunday church school, giv ing the teachers and pupils longer classroom sessions. Grade three through the adult class will be using the new curriculum courses. There are classes for all ages. William Sheppard is superinten dent of the Sunday church school. As an additional preparation for this new curriculum, Faith church has added a new classroom. This was accomplished by reno vating the basement of the church, making three rooms where there had formerly been two. The result is three bright and cheerful rooms where there had been two dark, drab rooms. All of the work on this project was done by the men of the congregation. Visitors are cordially welcome to all of the schools as well as the service of worship at the Faith church. FOR RENT—Available now, 3- ed, and heat included.. $55.00 per month.
