DIRTY There ha' probably never been a person in the history of this country who has been subject t<> such willful distortion, yross mis representations and downright lies as has Barry Goldwater sinct* he became a figure to be rec'koneci with in national politics. He has re|>eatedly been quoted as advocating use of nuclear pow er in Vietnam. He has never ad vocated its use. He has been cited time and ap-ain as a man who would plunpe this country in war—even though this man who has been through war, knows its horrors and most certainly would not subject his own family, his friends and his country to a holocaust, althouyh it is to his everlasting- credit that he had “rather lie dead than be Red.” Although he has stated time and again that he favors a pro gram of Social Security, and a strengthened program at that, he believes that any other “fringe benefits" such as the incredibly socialistic Medicare program, should be on a voluntary basis. But his detractors don’t repeat bis full statements—they tell the public that Barry Goldwater is against, and woud destroy, the Social Security System. They say Goldwater favors sell ing TV A (which probably wouldn’t be a bad ideal) when what he advocated was selling businesses now eng’aged in by TVA which are in competition to free enter prise, such as the fertilizer busi ness. If you have any doubts about where Goldwater honestly stands, what his views really are, I would suggest you pick up a copy of “Newsbook” recently published by the National Observer, or the Goldwater book by Jack Bell. These do not idolize Goldwater— they simply tell what the man thinks and where he stands, and they do it on a straight factual basis, not the bias which emanates daily from the Huntleys, Brink- leys and Cronkites and their ilk. Barry Goldwater’s enemies are a credit to any man. They are the outright, professed commun ists; they are the Communist- fronters; they are the Socialists; they are the extreme left wing liberals; they are the childish, dis appointed politicians who couldn’t get the sweetest plum for them selves. Tom Anderson in his Straight Talk of this month, gives a few ideas as to the smear campaign conducted against Barry Gold- water. His column follows: The optimists are studying Russian, the pessimists are study ing Chinese and the realists are studying Goldwater. It’s Barry- Picking Time! “But I’m worried about Goldwater’s foreign policy,” some brainwashed people say. First, foreign policy and domestic policy can’t be put in separate vacuums. Second, the press has deliberately lied about Goldwater being “trigger-happy.” (He did NOT advocate defoliating the Vietnam forests.) It boils down eventually, to courage and moral ity. I believe that Senator Gold- water is a courageous, humble and honest man. I do not think Lyndon Johnson is. Johnson has always been a power hungry op portunist. Killer Khrushchev said in a 1960 speech: “Your grandchildren in America will live under Commun ism, and this will be done not by us but by the workers—the toiling peasantry and the toiling intelli gentsia of the United States.” By “toiling peasantry,” the Comrat meant mainly the Negroes. The “subjugated and deprived” Am erican Negro owns more cars, more TV sets and more college degrees than all of the other Ne groes in the world combined. Aside from the “Civil Rights” struggle, which the Communists have infiltrated and taken over, the Communists haven’t made much progress with the “toiling peasantry” of America. It’s the “toiling intelligentsia”: people like Adlai Stevenson, Milton Eisen hower and William Fulbright— who are the worst menace to Am erica. Guess who wrote this: “A viciously ruthless and cor rupt dictator, ethically and politi cally bankrupt, has been driven from Cuba. Fidel Castro and the young people of Cuba have won a revolution. They have not fonsoli- dated it. This may be difficult for them to do. Powerful interests will oppose them. “But it should be obvious that Fidt-1 has n<> intention of going ('ommuni.'t. Ho is a product of Western civilization. Nor do the intellectuals and the people about him consider orienting themselves toward Moscow. “But it is approved that if this revolution does not succeed the next one will go far to the left. “Therefore, it is to the selfish interest of the United States to do all it can to make thus revolu tion so arduously won, a success. A stable Cuba would have a stab ilizing effect on all the Carrihean. That is important to us. “First, we should recall Am bassador Earl E. T. Smith. He several times referred to the rev olutionists as ‘bandits.’ This stamps him as a most unobservant man, and an ambassador who fail ed to give his country sound in formation. The U. S. policy there was damaging. Not only was the ambassador blind to the strength of the Fidel Castro movement, he continued to be very cozy with the Batista crowd.” That gem was written by none other than the omniscient ex tremist Ralph McGill. McGill was as right about Castro as he is about most things. McGill reminds me of the message inside a Chin ese fortune cookie: “Please dis regard previous cookie.” He should head all his columns with that note. Few columnists, aside from Walter Lippman, have been more wrong for 30 years. Read their columns regularly, and you’ll un derstand. Castro, Tito, and Mao Tse Tung are unnecessary evils cre ated, in part, by the policies of our State Department and by people and institutions like Ralph McGill, Howard Mr. K. Smith, Jack Parr, Ed Sullivan, The New York Times and The Washington Post. Drew Pearson, the only column ist in history to be labeled a liar by two Presidents, reported from San Francisco: “The smell of Fascism has been in the air at this convention. You whiff it at unusual places. You would expect it at the big rally of ‘Independent Americans for Goldwater.’ Ad- 'dressed by J. Bracken Lee, right- wing mayor of Salt Lake City and Tom Anderson of Nashville . . .” Pew Smearson doubtless learned to smell Fascism while buddying around with his friend, Khrush chev, and with Earl Warren’s buddy, buddy, Tito, dictator of Yugoslavia. The communist and socialist press in America and throughout the world are raging against Gold- water. Every Communist is against Goldwater. Virtually ev ery union leader is against Gold- water. Practically every misled Negro is against Goldwater. Mo-T of the big city press, the TV and radio commentators are against Goldwater. Most of the foreign socialist press is against Goldwat er. Most of the foreign enemies who are receiving billions of for eign aid from us so they’ll love us are against Goldwater. Life, Time, Look, Post, “Newsweak” and the communist Worker are against Goldwater. Nelson Rock efeller, Adlai Stevenson, Alger Hiss, Walt Rostow, Chester >Bowles, Averill Harriman, Gus Hall, Sammy Davis Jr., Bobby Kennedy, Walter Reuther, Soapy Williams, NAACP the Council on Foreign Relations, the American Civil Liberties Union, Core, and the ADA are against Goldwater. What a wonderful list of enemies! The “liberals,” the pacifists, the communist “peace lovers” and “moderates” now talk of Arma geddon, the last war mentioned in the Bible when ail are destroyed. Who brought us to the brink of Armageddon, if that is where we are? Was it Goldwater? Or Sena tor Taft? Or Strom Thurmond? The “liberals” remind me of the boy who murdered his mother and father and then threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan. The pinks who de livered us to the brink now tell us, “Better Red than Dead.’ Better stink than pink. Pinks are people who’re too yellow to be Red. We will not be attacked if we stay strong. If we continue dis arming, we will inevitably be at tacked, from without and from within. The Chinese have a saying, “Where there is no power, there is no peace.” A widely syndicated columnist has reported: “Unbelievable as it may sound, one high Cuban offi cial told a Japanese businessman in Havana recently that Cuba is training its people to speak Eng lish because ‘the takeover of the (Continued on page 4) NEWBERRY, S.

Benji Kirkland, Newberry, or Ray Hesse, Saluda, will be starting at quarterback. The fullback slot will be filled by Rill Hammond, Marietta, Ga., Gyles Hall, Salley, or Jim Sifrit, Bradenton, Fla. Hammond is nursing a sore knee and has been kept out of contact; therefore his game status will not be definite until later this week. The Mountaineers, picked to finish first or second in the con ference, feature a fine quarter back passer, Dennis Saunders, and two good receivers, the Har bin twins, Larry and Terry. “We expect Appalachian to Vie throw ing,” Coach Kirkland said. “A team as versatile as this will test •he experience of Newberry.” Due to inexperienced quarter- hacks, the Indians will probably rely chiefly on a running game. Experience will be the big prob lem for Newberry since only 22 upperclassmen—four seniors, nine juniors and nine sophomores—are on the team. Out of this group, only 14 are returning lettermen, six of these being sophomores. Robertson is the only returning letterman at the end spot; and he lettered as tackle last year. He was switched to end in spring practice and seems to be apt at receiving passes. However, he still is untested at this position. The ouarterback slot bears a likeness to the end position. Kirk land is the on ! y returnee at this spot, and is backed by Hesse, a freshman. Kirkland lettered last year, seeing action at defensive safety. There definitely is a lack of ex perience at tackle and guard posi tions. Arnold, sophomore, and Lynn, senior, both tackles, are backed by Freshmen Chip Shealy, Rock Hill, and Leroy Bouknight, Charleston. Guards Groce, sopho more, and Acker, senior, are sup ported by freshmen Danah Hardin, Savannah, and Mike Collins, Lan drum. The only adequately fortified position seems to be the halfback slot with Charpia and Eaves being followed by Wayne Morrison, Jacksonville, and Neal Dufford, Cameron—all upperclassmen. the 1964 membership quota of 535 members. Newberry County Farm Bureau has been recognized as a “Quota Buster” county at the South Caro lina Farm Bureau convention dur ing the past several years. Mem bership workers will again try to place this county in the honor list at the 1964 state convention to be held in Columbia in November. Approximately 50 membership workers are expected to partici pate in this year's drive. While memberships are being discussed, the women’s committee, under the leadership of Mrs. B. O. Long, Chairman, and Mrs. How ard Earl Meetze, Co-Chairman, will gather to discuss and promote plans for their annual talent and queen contest scheduled to be held at Newberry High School in late October.

This is the law of 1962 in South Carolina, according to a report j made by County Attorney Robert! C. Lake Jr. to Sheriff Tom Fel- i j; lers.

City Council vetoed the one-way traffic plan, at least for the time being, throwing thous ands of the taxpayers dollars down the drain. In considering a proposal by the Merchants Association presented at Council’s regular meeting this month, the city fathers flatly re jected the idea of forming a “citi zens Committee” to recommend a “traffic nlan,” taking the position Mr. Lake replied: “As per your j nesdav, the parade was changed I 11 IS the <luty ° f councl1 to . j i .,. , decide | as overall chairman.

Q. Roberts of the Newberry County Health De partment, who under Section 6- 132 has authority and is charged with the duty of taking care of this type of animal.” Mr. Lake suggested that the Sheriff’s office might assist Mr. Roberts “at any time he requests assistance in these duties.” According to Mr. Lake’s re search, there is no law on the books to control dogs which are inoculated, but which are still al lowed to run loose to damage prop erty of others and endanger human lives. It is expected that dog control will be among the first discus sions of the newly-organized County Municipal Association, Bloodmobile to visit Tuesday The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at Central Methodist church on Tuesday, September 22 from two spend $1500 to •■eplace old, and purchase additional Christmas decorations. Further action by the Associa tion was approval of “Newbt rry Appreciation Days”, a sale pro no tion to be held on October 1-3. About 45 merchants will be coop erating in this effort. County prepares bills for taxes Property-owners of Newberry county will receive a tax bill of $682,444.30 this year, according to Auditor Ralph B. Black. This money' will be used to carry on the general operations of the county and a portion of it goes for school purposes. Total property tax amounts to $677,315.20 and poll tax $5129. It is pointed out that while this lat ter is called “poll tax”, it is not a tax imposed for the privilege of voting. Tax notices will be mailed in October and there will be a dis count for taxes paid by the end of that month. whether or not a plan should be adopted and the type plan desirable and necessary'. Councilmen Shealy, McCutcheon and Longshore voiced their objec tions to the proposed committee, the latter observing that “the mer chants should form their own committee and come up with a definite plan as to what they want and don’t want. If they want any help from council, they should make specific recommendations.” City Manager Ken Riebe asked council to take action one way of the other so he would know how to proceed. He urged a testing period for the one-way traffic plan. “This is not my plan,” he said. “This was devised by engineers and technicians who have had ex perience. I feel the least we can do is open the doors for testing.” Riebe mentioned the amount of money authorized by council for “public relations”—informing the citizens of the nature of the plan. He pointed out that surveys con ducted in newspapers and on the radio brought a maximum of 250 “ballots”—many of them favoring the plan although the majority “We can’t tell industry we’ll be ready for them when they' come,” he continued. ’’We’ve got to show them that plans are underway.” Councilman Taylor, McCutcheon and Longshore also -poke against 'he plan, stating they didn’t be lieve the citizens wanted it, they didn’t think it would stop shop ping centers from locating near the city', and they didn’t think it was needed. A motion to proceed with off- street parking development. to confine loading zones to one side of the street, and to reject the one-way traffic plan was unani mously adopted. Temple Jarrell, field representa tive for the National Recreation Association, who spent Tuesday in Newberry surveying recreational facilities, spoke briefly' to council. He heaped praise on the recreation director, P. K. Fuller, and on council and the community for its splendid recreation program, say ing that of the hundreds of cities he visited in ten states, he could thing of only one with population of 10,000 or less which had a pro gram equal to that of Newberry. He especially commended the program’s relationship with schools and the National Guard for use of their facilities to serve some recreation activities. He pointed to McSwain Street Park and Lynches Woods as hav ing great potential and recom mended careful attention to design in developing these areas, placing emphasis on the esthetic as well as the functional design. Mr. Jarrell said there is a ten dency toward smaller, less expen sive neighborhool recreation areas, until six p.m. This visit is being ing; Otis Crooks, pointing a fire- sponsored by the Newberry Kiw- Criminal court begins Monday About 50 cases are on the roster for consideration during the term of General Sessions (criminal) court which convenes in Newberry, with Hon.

Burkhalter and Ellen Burkhalter, disposing of property under mortgage; Tommy Butler, six charges of housebreaking and larceny; Leroy Davis, housebreak ing and larceny; John Copeland, assault and battery with intent to kill; Clinton Cook, non-support; Jerry Hester, obtaining goods by false pretense; David Hiller, non support; L.

Red Cross officials stated that with only one Bloodmobile visit to Newberry this fiscal year, the county is alreadv 661 pints short. It was noted that one Newberry County man was given 21 pints of blood recently at Medical Col lege in Charleston. This is charged against the Newberry County sup ply of blood. All citizens are urged to give next Tuesday. Fire Prevention Week Oct. 4-11 Countywide Fire Prevention Week, October 4-11, will be spon sored in Newberry by the Rural Fire Department Chiefs. High lights of the observance will be a parade, beauty contest and dance. The parade will be held Tues day, October 6 at 4 p.m. A dance for beauty contestants will be held at the Country Club. Other activities will include school drills, award for “Fireman of the Year” to be given by the Exchange Club, essay contest in the schools, talks on fire preven tion week. More complete information con cerning the observance will be pub lished next week. opposed. Pointing out that persons i and suggested the future possi- who oppose something are always quick to make their objections known, while those in favor often do not express an opinion, Riebe said “if all 250 were opposed, that is a very small number in propor tion to the thousands of people living in Newberry.” Shealy believed “we should move one step at a time,” develop parking lots and provide for load ing on only one side of the street. Riebe pointed out “we are un der constant surveillance—it is going on now and I hope will be going on the next few months and years—to see if Newberry is an ticipating an increase which in dustry would bring.

COUNTY FAIR TIME PLANNED FOR OCT. 5-10 October 5-10 has been announc ed as Newberry-Saluda County Fair time by fair manager Frank Sutton. <( “As usual,” said Mr. Sutton, “every citizen of Newberry, Salu da and surrounding counties is looking forward to this joyful event. Each year a large part of our citizens enter the finest of their livestock and handiwork of their goods, and share the pleas ure of their friends and neigh bors.” “The Newberry-Saluda County Fair is a time honored custom,” Mr. Sutton continued. “Each year we realize more its significance to our counties and see what our folk of this and nearby counties are bringing to us with their tre mendous progress, both in agri culture and industry.” The manager announced that one of America’s oldest and best known shows, The Reithoffer Shows, will be on the midway this year, bringing new rides and concessions never before shown at the local fair. Reithoffer Shows have played the New England states for many years and have passed from father to son. The Show has grown from year to year, always being a lead er in bringing new attractions to the show grounds for the enjoy ment and pleasure of the young folks, young both in age and in heart. “It is our sincere wish that every citizen of these counties make a concerted effort to visit Newberry-Saluda Fair the week of October 5-10” Mr. Sutton said. “Meet your old friends and make new ones—that’s the slogan of the Newberry-Saluda Fair.” bility of such an area in the re cently annexed northeast section of the city.
