The Big Lie’ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1964 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE The 'big lie', smear technique is being used as never before against Barry Goldwater, It's being used to distort what he says ... to de liberately misrepresent his views ... to deliberately mislead you. LET'S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT once and for all! The big lie': "Barry Goldwater is against Social Security." The TRUTH: He is not! He has voted for increased payments each time they came up. He voted for them this year # but LBJ's whips killt I any increase for this year. Goldwater's platform on Page 13 says: "We pledge revision of the So cial Security system to allow higher earnings, without loss of benefits, by our elderly people"; on Page IS: "We pledge an end to chronic deficit spending, proudly reaffirming our belief in a balanced budget" The big lie': The TRUTH: "Goldwater is against medical care for needy, elderly people." He is not! He wants full medical and hospital coverage, controlled at the local level. He does NOT want to bank rupt the system by tacking on unworkabe so-called "medicare" in which the poor who can't afford it are taxed to provide "medicare" for the rich who don't need it. Goldwater's platform on Page 13 says: "We pledge full coverage of all medical and hospital costs for the needy elderly people, financed by general revenues through broader implementation of Federal-State plans, rather than the compulsory Democratic scheme covering only a small percentage of such costs for everyone regardless of need" The big lie': The TRUTH: "Goldwater is 'trigger happy'." He is not! President Eisenhower called this charge "tommyrot". The 'big lie' was exposed when the public was informed recently in several magazines that the NATO Commander HAS HAD some discretionary au thority under Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson on use of small tactical nuclear weapons when attacked by the enemy with such weapons. This is whaf Goldwater has proposed. The big lie': The TRUTH: "Goldwater is against farm price supports." Goldwater believes farmers should govern themselves, not have unwanted controls clamped on them. He will let farmers determine what they want and don't want. He opposes the present drop in parity ratio to its lowest level since 1939 and the government's dumping sur pluses on the market lowering farm income. Goldwater's platform on Page 16 says: "We pledge to provide our farmers with the maximum opportunity to exercise their own man agement decisions on their own farms, while resisting all efforts to impose upon them further Federal controls" The big lie': The TRUTH: * "Goldwater is against REA." He is not! On page 19, his platform says, "We pledge continued support of farmer-owned and operated co operatives including rural electric and telephone fa cilities." The big lie': The TRUTH: "Goldwater is against the working man." He is not! He has said, "The working man must be pro tected from abuse and exploitation — whether it stems from his employers or union officials." He voted against the Civil Rights bill which could, because it calls for a racial balance in employment, cost many people their jobs, since the Act creates no new jobs. The 'big lie', smear campaign against Barry Goldwater is being used by those who want to keep in power a man whose hand-picked lead ers fought against Senator Thurmond and Republican Leader Dirk- sen when they tried to stay the hand of the Supreme Court on state legislative reapportionment. If this decision, backed by LBJ's lieu tenants, stands, it will mean that 33 South Carolina counties will have no Senator in the State Legislature and 8 of our counties won't even have a representative in the House. Barry Goldwater is for re straining the Supreme Court and ending its reign of tyranny. Don't let the 'big lie' mislead you! Stand with the man who stands for us! Vote for BARRY GOLDWATER YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART HE‘S RIGHT! Pol. od paid by S. C. Republican Party, J. Drake Edens, Jr., Choirmo'J A PLEA TO RETIRED MEN: “YOUR WIFE IS NO BABY!” TPO THE good, considerate, in- * telligent—but misguided—hus bands, comes this appeal from a retired widow. And there is sense in what she says. “I address this to all husbands past age 55 in the belief that most of them are good and loving,” she says. ‘‘And in the belief that they desire only what is best for their widows in case they die ...” Then she proceeds to tell how they are failing and how, oddly, it is the most conscientious husband who fails worst. ‘‘Our four children were mar ried and on their own when my husband died soon after his re tirement three years ago. He left his affairs in a manner that is well regarded nowadays in legal and family circles. “He decreed that everything of value was to be left to me, that I was to have the benefit of it dur ing my lifetime, and that on my death everything was to pass equally to the four children. “Neat. Proper. Legal. And nice. But did anybody ever bother to ask the widow whether she liked the arrangement. “As a matter of fact, this par ticular arrangement hands to a widow the most difficult problem she has ever had to contend with . . . and one she can hardly solve with any peace of mind without dressing in rags. “Because what the arrangement means is that she is temporary custodian of money and property that go in the end to the children. She only holds it. And while pro vision is made that she gets the benefits of it—which I presume means she could legally squander it if she chose—what Mother or widow is going to feel free to take benefits? When every benefit she takes means less to go to the chil dren? “It doesn’t matter whether a husband has only a $7,000 house and no will and says ‘Mama gets it till she dies,’ or whether there is a lot of money involved and everything is spelled out in a fancy will—it comes out the same. “Every dollar Mama spends means one less dollar for the chil dren. And every good Mama lives constantly under that thought. “Children, too, I think are good and loving, in the main. They are selfish and grabby, as the young are prone to be. I find nothing dis tasteful in mine. I believe they would honestly want me to spend freely what Daddy left. I am sure they aren’t peeping over fences to see what I do with this dollar or that. “Still, since they are human, I know they must be as aware as I am of the circumstances. “If I sold the house, took $2,000 and made a trip to Europe, then came home to live in an apart ment, my children wouldn’t say anything. But they would think plenty. And if I were one of them l would too. “So what does a widow left as I was left do? She skimps. She tries very hard to show she is not squandering money. She feels self- conscious everytime she does, or does not, hire repairs made on the house, and every time she takes out her checkbook . . Haven’t you heard? Business forms don't have to look dirty.

A special finish ing process creates a rich three- dimensional ceiling surface with excellent maintenance character istics. BANK NOTES . . « by Malcolm DID YOU KNOW...

From Homer T. Genung, Fort Branch, Indiana: I remember best of all the happiness of the winter time grade school days. Tired of out-of-doors play, summer time had become monotonous, but when the winds blew chill and the fires burned bright, creating the dawn of a thrilling new adventure —highlighted by the anticipation of approaching Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays—ah, me, I was enraptured. Much of my “homework on those long winter evenings was done while lying on the floor m front of the companionable old fireplace, paging through the sam ple copies of those many, many Augusta, Maine periodicals, whose mailing the publishers synchro nized with the “When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder? in the shock” season. For other readers, the coal oil hanging lamp was pulled down as far as it would come to help the lamp on the round table in the center of the room; for me the floor was a much better place to spread papers. The dancing, cheer ful flames in the fireplace, with their magnetic warmth, completed the irresistible allurements of the floor for me. (Send contribution* to this column to The Old Timer. Box 39.
