WILLINGHAM The tumult and the shouting dies, the Captains and the Kings depart. Still lives thine ancient sacrifice. A broken and a contrite hear+ Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet Lest we forget Lest we forget.” As I recall Kipling’s Recessional. May we, too, remember the Lord of hosts and his compassion. We Americans have seen our ship of State sometimes tak ing the wrong course; and sometimes floundering in the tur bulent sea of error. Our leaning toward the left has developed rapidly into what is virtually a precipitous plunge. We are heading more and more toward Communism, though our misguided leaders think all this pampering is for the national good. Men in authority frequently advocate policies which have been tried and discontinued in either this or other nations and even centuries ago. We move into Socialism with an easy glide. Let us see now: The President of the United States (Mr. Kennedy) frowned on the program of the steel men to in crease the price of steel. Today the President, Mr. Johnson, adopts the same course: he indicates a stern disapproval of any increase in the price of steel. That suits most of us and pleases the majority. Now let’s see where we are. If the frown of the President is as powerful as a law what law have we to fix the price of steel? I have no direct interest in the fluctuations of the steel price, but shall we have gasoline prices fixed by the whim of the President ? I am very much interested in gasoline, so shall I start a campaign on that ? Why not on coffee and tea ? Why not on automobiles, tires, etc. ? So now we come to the milk in the cocoanut: shall the whim or frown of the President fix the wages to be paid? If the President may operate to forbid an increase in the price of steel he may just as well forbid an increase in wages. The practice of meddling with private business makes it a plan that some President may use to cut wages. Later on a President may plan to increase the hours of work. Friends, look at all sides of this: if a President may intervene to prevent an increase in prices he may intervene to prevent an increase in wages, fees, or other emoluments. If you think the statutory laws will protect you just remember that no law controls prices today. However, we are heading that way. But remember if we have friends in the Government; today and they can become virtually dictatprs we may have enemies someday who will reverse all this Communistic pandering. BRANCH OFFICE — B.atesburg, S. C. After life’s fitful fever—and so on, we become quiet and peaceful again. There was a vast volume handed us in the recent campaign, but one subject was twisted about so badly I want to pre sent it calmly, free from small politics. I’m thinking of So cial Security, properly so called and that phase we think of as a sort of insurance for retirement. The idea of Social Security was that a worker should pay half and his employer should pay half. It began with rela tively modest payments. A man, or woman, might retire at a certain age and enjoy monthly remittances all growing out of his claim under the Social Security law. Frankly the Social Security law was—and is—unconstitutional, but I’m not discussing the law as a law, but the wasteful applica tion of the law. I do not mean any reflection on the admini stration of the law; I’m discussing the course of the Cong ress. Congress found several billion dollars to the credit of the Social Security program and began to admit a great number (who had not paid) and to allow special benefits which fur ther add to the burden. Today the part paid by the worker and the half paid by the employer is several times higher than in the beginning. As soon as the politicians became aware of the trust fund of several billions they began to use it—or misuse it— to let in hundreds of thousands who came in as a sort of political favor. Of course that has played havoc with the billions of trust money which had been accumulated. And on we go. Now where is the trust money? Is it kept in a separate de posit available only for the daily demands of the service? It all goes into the general fund and is spent as part of the general funds of the nation 1 and I.O.U.—Government bonds —credited on the books to the account of Social Security. I don’t know all about Government accounting, and I don’t waste my time studying the Government budget, but I won der how we find out how we stand, if the Congress appro priates ninety billion in the National Appropriation Bill and the Treasury uses, let us say—a couple of billion more from Social Security ? Since The Social Security income must vary from year to year, because thousands come in and thousands die, how can the Congress definitely arrive at a safe figure? And in reporting to the Comptroller General of the United States how is all this clearly, definitely and meticulously ac counted for? Of course I’ve read of some marvellous exploits, such as the cleaning of the Augean Stables, but that was just small time and peanuts compared with the fabulous procedures of the nation. I quote my esteemed friend of Walterboro who has giv en this subject much thought. (Press and Standard, Editor Smoak). “Recently another increase in the cost of liability insur ance for the automobile owners of the state was had. Thru- out thia will average roughly 23 percent on private cars op erated in this State. That is if insurance protection is avail able. In this area of the state more and more of the larger, and name companies are severely curtailing the writing of insurance. No longer do agents have the right to just write insurance on any customer who comes in for automobile lia bility. Now these bigger companies are being selective and writing only the best risks. As the operation of an insurance company, like any other form of business, is to make a profit if it is to stay in busi ness; unprofitable lines and areas must be dropped. The rates are based on experience ratings of the area involved. If a company is making less on premiums than they are los ing in the courts, then no alternative is left but to withdraw from an area. Drivers in this part of the state are no worse or better than those of other sections. However, in surrounding counties the highest liability insurance rates in the state are charg ed. And rumblings have been heard that Colleton will be upgraded. The drivers are not at fault, but some of the out landish verdicts returned by civil court juries; plus the manufacturing of fanciful suits and claims by certain law yers, who encourage clients to sue, are. Until this is stopped the cost of driving an automobile is going to increase. Juries making awards are not spending the insurance company’s money but their own. The only way the insurance companies make this money is through the premiums paid by customers, many of whom serve as jurors. So, actually ex- horbitant awards are coming from the pockets of the public. All reputable insurance companies are willing and want to pay for actual injuries and claims. Legitimate damages will be paid without going to court to settle them. Too often the insurance companies hurt their statue by paying unjus tified claims, rather than go to the expense of going to court. However if the companies would stop this practice, and when an outlandish claim is made, fight it to the bitter end, sooner or later the tide will change. And sooner or later the juries and lawyers are going to realize that unreasonable verdicts' are doing no one any good, and then equitable rates can be had and companies will be vying for the business, rather than shying away.” Herbert Hoover was a good man, a loyal American, a true gentleman and a Christian spirit. He was an example of the possibility facing a good brain and a habit of industrial ap plication. The fall of Khruschev suggested to one of my friends an expeditious removal of an official. He almost thought that method would save us a lot of trouble: Certainly it must save, or avoid, a lot of oratory, real or so-called. According to one commentator, the Russions sent a small Committee to invite Khruschev to his own dismissal. And overseas our British, in a short campaign, said goodbye to the Conservative Party and, by a narrow majority, invited the Labor Party to assume power. By the way, Mr. Nixon, while running for President four years ago, against John Kennedy, missed the presidency by a very small number of votes. If General Eisenhower had really exerted himself Nixon would almost surely have been elected. Life is made us of “ifs”, isn’t it? If a dozen big Republi cans were zealous for the victory of Mr. Goldwater he would almost surely win. ARE YOU USTENING? By Earl Wilson The message of “repentance” is one of the greatest mes sages in all the Bible, but at the same time one of the most misunderstood. A common definition for this term is “to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the changing of one’s life.” Basically this definition may be true, but repentance involves more than mere physical change. Repentance is a voluntary changing of heart, and soul, and mind, and strength. It is a changing of mind, views, feelings, and pur pose. When Jesus said that man is to deny himself, he meant that man is to admit to himself that he is both sinful and selfish. Once a person sees himself in this light, he is then ready to surrender all of his life to Christ. The New Testament meaning of repentance involves three things. First is the conviction of sin. This simply means that a person must come to know that he is a sinner and separat ed from God. The second element involves feelings and views. It simply means that the Jove of sin dies in one’s heart. The fear of being punished for sin is not repentance. Trying to avoid a guilty conscience is not repentance. For a good de scription of this part of repentance read 2 Corinthians 7:10 and Psalms 51:17. The final element of repentance is a vol untary one. It involves both of the others plus a change in purpose. It requires a complete denouncing of the sins we once loved and turns us toward the things we at one time despised. The sermon Jesus preached was this: “Repent ye, for the kingdom qf heaven is at hand.” Are you listening? NOTICE MEETING OF BOARD OF ADJUSTORS Date: November 19,1964 Time: 7 : 30 P. M.
