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!

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. Why fight carbon smudge and smear on copies,
bonds and clothing. Buy NCR Paper forms and you'll
never have to handle messy carbon paper—everl
THE NEWBERRY SUN
One of the world’s oldest de
signs has found a unique applica
tion in one of America’s newest
interior decorating materials.
“Paisley,” a pattern which looks
the same as it did 3000 years ago
when it was woven into the shawls
of ancient Kashmir, is now being
used to create a modern white-on-
white embossed effect in acous
tical ceiling tile. A special finish
ing process creates a rich three-
dimensional ceiling surface with
excellent maintenance character
istics.

A SatVKS Of YOUR MART ASSOCIATION
BY ’JhiOUTuMM.
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.
