We make ? living b\- what we get, but we make a life by what we give. A person never gets dizzy from doing too many good turns. VOLUME 29 — NUMBER 14. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1965 $2.00 PER YEAR VIEWPOINT By DR. G. H. MONTGOMERY Kansas City, Mo. I have just returned from an auto trip into the Southeast. There are some things I simply must tell you; things gleaned en route. The 12-day tour took me thru Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and back through Ala bama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Frankly, I am just a little shak en up by things 1 saw and con versations 1 had along the way. If I were inclined to fright, I would probably be a scared editor just now. But, believing with all my heart that God has the world in His hands, I rest in the faith that He will win the battle and that in Him we are more than conquerors. I was reared to respect every human being, regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin. If anyone doubts my life-long posi tion on the “rights” of all people, I invite him to read my article on “America’s Oppressed Minorities” (Defender, July 1965). But the current “civil rights” hysteria is so obviously both communist-in spired and engineered that to fail to speak out in opposition to the diabolical plot would be both cowardly and contributory to the subversive cause. The general attitude on the sur face in the Soupth seems to be that the federal government has “taken over” and it is only a matter of time until all semblance of individual rights, as well as “state’s rights”, will be a thing of history. It is this resigned attitude that jolts me. The “Old South” as I knew it several years ago, was a reservoir of human force and dynamic d e termination to “do or die.” There is still plenty of “drive” and “fight” below the Mason-Dixie line, but it is tem pered with docile resignation to the inevitable. Governor Johnson’s June 15th plea to the Mississippi Legislature was a sad piece of executive opti mism. Like a man who sees his home go up in smoke but hopes to save the ashes for sentimental reasons, the Mississippi governor appealed to the senators and the house members of his state to take legislative steps to try to save at least some fragments of the state’s dignity and honor from the Washington invaders. What the Governor doesn’t seem to real ize is that the Revolution Leaders demand nothing short of uncon ditional surrender. Noticeable in Alabama and Mississippi—almost complete ab sence of colored people from high ways (except in autos) and the fields. Gone are the friendly faces of carefree Negroes that once brightened the traveler’s way thru the deep south. There is no doubt about it; a grim, omnicus change has come over the old South. A new KKK is in the ascendancy. It might be called the “Kommunist Konspir- acy to Konquer.” Using the south ern Negro for cannon fodder and Washington bureaucrats for its “big gun”, chis new KKK is gain ing ground with frightening speed. (It is probably the greatest threat to national peace in the land to day.) Rep. Adam Clayton Powell of New York has called for a “black revolution” in the United States, reports “New York Times” News Service. Powell, himself a minis ter (Harlem’s Abyssinian church), was speaking at a dinner meeting of Chicago’s Ebenezer Missionaiy Baptist church. (A little politick ing in the church.) Elmer Thomas Rush, 15-year- old white school boy, was set upon by three Negro youths (ages 15, 17, and 18) and murdered while walking home from school in Philadelphia. The -Negro’s didn’t "know the white boy; had nothing personal against him; just exer cising their “civil rights.” State of Kansas has an anti mob law. Municipalities are held responsible for mob activities within their limits. Kansas City, Kansas, has asked for repeal of the law. It cost the city $171,000 last year, and eight more law suits are still pending. Police have not been able to control government- encouraged “civil rights” mobs in the city limits. New York City girds for a sum mer of violence. Race upheavals are expected to exceed those of 1964. Police with dogs will patrol crime areas. The subways will carry assigned officers at night. Rabbi Schrage’s Jewish vigilantes will renew their nightly patrols. Activities in preparation for the anticipated civil rights riots re semble a Florida preparation for hurricane. Little wonder, i Subway crimes in New York I have increased 122 per cent since | 1963. General aim of the run of-mill ^ robber is to get the victim’s mon- ; ey and get away. This is “old hat” ! with New York's new breed. Ac cording to reports of victims, those robbers seem more interest ed in beating up the victim than in getting his money. When the victim is a white man, the beating comes first, the money second. Says a Greenwich Village moth- 1 er, herself a civil rights advocate, “The things the men say to you ‘ on the street at night are not be ing said to you as a woman, but as a white woman.” Miniature tear gas guns and other defensive weapons are car- ! ried by some New York women for their own protection in spite of the fact that such protection is illegal in their city, for only the | police and criminals can carry i weapons in New York City with impunity. Sixteen of the nations that have received American “foreign aid” are freely trafficking with North Vietnam communists, according to Congressman Richard Roudebush of Indiana. These nations include England, Netherlands, France, It aly, and Japan. Reminiscent of the days when shiploads of American scrap iron went to Japan for the manufacture of weapons to des troy American soldiers. Wars and rumors of wars are rife around the world. Yet the “peace at any price” boys are still rattling the bones of the disarm ament crusade. The revolutionary outbreaks in the Western hemis phere (Dominican Republic, the latest), the continued raiding and killing in Palestine, the drawn- out battles of Viet Nam—all these are an index to the state of total unrest in the world. A good time to talk disarmament, and some national leaders are stupid enough to fall for it, while Russia and China secretly gird for the great est war of history. Lest we forget! John Henry Edwards, Negro hero and martyr, who died defending the civil rights of two white women in the streets of Chicago’s south side. When the news broke that Wal ter Jenkins, President Johnson’s close friend and advisor, had been arrested for “crimes against na ture” the Shreveport (La.) Times suggested that it “may be the big gest political bombshell dropped in the presidential campaign” Oct. 16, 1964). But the Times reckoned without the moral tone of Ameri can society. It had not yet become clearly evident that “the Great Society” was basically committed to the philosophy that “anything goes so long as it is tied to a bil lion dollar federal handout.” The Bible says, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” Anent this, a billion dollars in the wrong hands provides a whole lot of root for a whole lot of evil. Patrol finds 9,306 faulty vehicles Highway Patrol officers inspect ed 22,258 motor vehicles during June, and rejected 9,306 of them because of defective safety equip ment, the State Highway Depart ment has announced. Inspections are performed by patrolmen as a part of their rou tine traffic law enforcement ac tivities. Highway Department lic ense examiners inspected an addi tional 12,194 vehicles while con ducting examination for driver licenses, and 2,074 of these ve hicles were rejected. Applicants for licenses are not permitted to take road tests in vehicles which are not mechanically safe to op erate. Mechanical defects found on the rejected vehicles included 6,636 cases of inadequate brakes, 1,085 defective horns, 1,024 cases of in- onerative windshield wipers and 156 cases of unsafe tires. Also un covered were 2,023 other assort- ed defects result in rejections. A monthly inspection report in dicates that defects in 3,608 ve hicles were corrected during the month, and the vehicles were ap proved upon second inspection. The Department has recently initiated a program under w T hich ! inspected vehicles winch are ap proved will be marked with white bumper tags and those rejected will be marked with red tags. The tags will be dated by inspection officers, records will be kept and owners will be required to have defective vehicles repaired and re-inspected within 10 days after inspections resulting in the re jection of vehicles. Penalties are provided for vehicle owners who are found operating defective ve hicles more than 10 days after such vehicles have been rejected. r- -AN,;,' 7.

(Photo courtesy The Prosperity Citizen) Want picnickers of food poisoning CLEMSON.—Now that the pic nic season is in full swing, let’s take precaution to prevent food poisoning. Mrs. Marie Hindman, Clemson extension nutritionist, sounds this note of caution to picnickers and others. She points out that most incidents of food poisoning are due to bacteria of either the salmonel la, staphylococcus, or streptococ cus type in the food. These bacteria are universally present in the air, soil, on dust particles, on eating utensils, on foods, on the skin, and in the in testinal and respiratory tracts of man, animals, and birds. But these bacteria are not harmful un less foods are eaten that are par tially spoiled, have been improp erly prepared, or incorrectly hand led. Under these conditions, they can produce an infection that causes stomach pains, vomiting, and diarrhea. Most incidents of food poison ing can be traced to nontart or low-acid foods because illness- causing bacteria do not grow well in tart foods. Therefore dishes prepared using eggs, fish, meat, milk, or poultry are usually the ones involved in food poisoning. To prevent food poisoning from marring happy summer days, Mrs. Hipdman offers these helpful sug gestions: 1. Freeze foods that spoil rap idly'before you take them to the lake or picnic grounds. They will thaw and be ready for serving at lunchtime. 2. Use a portable icebox and in sulated containers to carry your perishable foods. 3. Be sure to refrigerate low- acid foods as soon as the meal is finished. Leave these foods at room temperature for only short per iods. Finishes medical technology work Miss Marcia Todd, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. M. W. (Jim) Todd Jr., 2004 Main Street, will com plete her internship today (Thurs day) in Medical Technology at the Columbia Hospital School of Medical Technology. She is a 1964 graduate of Winthrop College with a B.A. degree in Biology. Miss Todd will have successfully completed the National Registry Examination given by the Board of Registry of Medical Technolo gists in order to obtain MT (ASCP) certification as Register ed Medical Technoligist. Medical Technology is one of tht newest fields in medical sci ence. Medical Technologists are scientific fact finders. Working under a pathologist in a labora tory they perform the tests on which doctors rely for help in liagnosing and treating diseases. They make use of hundreds of scientific procedures that have been devised to disclose subtle changes that disease produces in the body. Studying tissues and cells under the microscopic, analy zing the chemical composition of body fluids and secretions, they ferret out clues to illnesses that might not be detected in any oth er way.
