It is incumbent upon every citizen to get behind the police and attempt to get them back into a more fair and equal position with the criminals they j raise our hopes: I quote from my i the incidence of starting trouble THE “SPECTATOR S” COLUMN Well, here’s something that may | battery age and plug conditions, are attempting to combat. Bennettsville friends of the Her ald-Advocate: Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM The basic purpose of American government is to protect the life, liberty and property of each citi- ren. In the very front line for the execution of this high purpose is your local police force. Local police organizations are now in a process of change. Two major factors are contributing to this change: one is what we might call a “judicial revolution.” Courts hand down new decisions changing the rules, you might say, so that the police officer is constantly off balance as to what his authority may be- The other factor is that young men are less interested in performing the type of service that the police departments re quire. Vacancies in many large cities cannot be filled, and as the authority of the policeman is cur tailed, greater collective effort is required to accomplish the same task because there are fewer peo ple to do it. For the past 30 years we have moved from a “capitalistic” form of government to a more socialis tic form of government. At the present rate, this transision will be completed within the next 30 j years, and we will have become more centralized in order to en force upon the entire nation a single philosophy. This puts the locally controlled police force in the middle of this revolution. As we move away from respect for local community self- determination, the integrity of the local police force is undermined and discredited. The presumption of innocence for an accused person is now car ried to the extreme where a po liceman carries the presumption of guilt for brutality and all the other accusations heaped upon law enforcement men by criminals and their counsel. The “public image” of the local policeman has suffered so badly that young men seek other types of work even though the starting salary may be less in another ac tivity than in police work.- Perhaps the basic reason for the alarming increase in crimes in the United States might be traced to a change in our people. When this nation was being developed from the raw materials of a rela tively unsettled continent, people were motivated in a spiritual and idealistic basis. We have since the beginning, followed the pattern of mankind: when economic levels are raised, when material things are more readily available, we tend to drift away from the spirit ually idealistic into a more ma terialistic attitude. As we become more materialistic, we destroy oUr When government fails to pro? vide a measure of security to its A large number of college stu dent' who have studied political science and history during the ! successful, past 10 or 15 years report that in all major colleges across the country there are few Conserva tive-minded professors teaching those subjects. American history has always been a great experience for col lege students and for high school students as well. It has always been thrilling to relive the mag- nificant periods when the Decla ration of Independence was first intoned and when the Constitu tion of the United States was written and the Monroe Doctrine was first announced. Teaching history and studying history is to share the experience of the Found ing Fathers and their immediate successors through the years in the development of our wonderful American way of life. As recent headlines reveal, Am ericanism is not being emphasiz ed in the larger colleges and uni versities as much as it is in the smaller schools. The Communist apparently feel that they can ac complish more in an institution with thousands of students then in a small college of four or five hundred enrollment. Basic respect for authority, law and discipline prevails to a far greater extent on the campus of a small college than is being observed on the big university campuses. Professors in the very large institutions have lost contact with the students, and the students feel cheated and turn to violence and demonstrations to express their unrest. One other explanation is that the larger colleges and universi ties are receiving large amounts of money from the various foun dations and from the Federal gov ernment and this money always was 21 per cent when plugs were good or had low-voltage require- “Marlboro County’s male popu-; ments, and the battery was three lation is getting taller and more financially, year by year. That is what the figures show. Is there a relationship, between these seemingly unrelated facts? There is convincing evidence years or more old. Starting trou ble incidence was 37 percent—al most double—when the plugs were worn or had high voltage require ments, and the battery was three or more years old.

The Poverty Czar la now re questing that this veto power be eliminated from the Act. ^ ON JUNE 25, 1965, the ^Gov ernor of New York vetoed* a $5,642,687 grant to establish' # “Community Progress CeBters” in New York City. The Gov ernor stated that the proposed grant would have by-passed a whole spectrum of State laws “designed to protect the very people intended to be covered by the Federal anti-poverty pro grams.” SUBSEQUENTLY, the Pov erty Czar lumped all of the money for community action programs in New York City •it then informed the Governor t^rt he would have to take it ^^br none,” and could not yetoisepar rate projects within The graht: Faced with an “all qT nothing. ^ choice, the Governor . approved Financing Our Own Destruction THE ECONOMIC Opportunity Act of 1964, better known as the “War on Poverty” Act, iu now before the Congress for re newal and continuation. Last year the Congress appropriated $793 million for a conglomera tion of programs including the Job Corps, Work-Training Pro gram, Work-Study Program, Community Action Program, a rural anti-poverty program, and many others authorized in the “anti-poverty*' package. For fiscal year 1966, the Poverty Czar has requested that the funds be upped to $1.5 billion. IN THE SENATE, tht Labor and Public Welfare Committee has held hearings on the bill to authorize the $1.5 billion appro priation and amendments to the original program. The hearings jrejre completed in 2 days. FROM THE AMOUNT of time devoted to the subject by the Committee, it would appear that there ie very little to question about the hodgepodge of pro grams involved. However, such is not the case. Seldom, if ever, has the Congress been faced with the question of renewal of such a wasteful and dangerous activity. ONLY A SMALL portion of the $793 millior appropriated for 1965 has been spent, al though the fiscal year has now ended. In the last few months, however, frantic efforts were made to commit the funds so they would not be returned to the treasury. Nevertheless, the proportion which was spent in fiscal 1965 was enough to pro vide the basis for regular “hor ror” stories in the press. INDEED, the Poverty Czar produced and televised his own “horror” story in an hour-long TV rock and roll spectacle called, appropriately, “It's What’s Happening, Baby I’ IN ST. PETERSBURG.

A cure for ap art of the trouble could certainly be found in a re newed interest by private donors who are interested in preserving the free system that produces the private money. How wonderful it would be if all teen-age students could have teachers who would inspire them and insure them against the Lib eral brainwashing that they are certain to get when they move on into the realms of higher educa tional system. If this could be as sured, these boys and girls might possibly go to the university with an interest in receiving an educa tion instead of spending their time on the campus in getting wide-spread publicity for sit-ins, teach-ins and other Communist- inspired and Communist-led dem onstrations designed to give them front-page newspaper coverage. Boozer-Van Brunt Marriage COLUMBIA — Miss Shirley Ann Boozer, of 508 Graymont Ave. became the bride of Thomas Emil Van Brunt Saturday at St. Thom as More Center^ Rev. Bonaventure Brown officiated. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Hugh Boozer of 2802 Hunt Ave. in Newberry and the groom is the son of Mrs. E. E. Van Brunt of 383 East Lee Highway in Fairfax, Va. and the What is happening to the men? Widows are so numerous that wo men today are the controlling voice in many great ente prises. But even in ordinary life widows are increasing. I have a theory that, since a woman never has a retirement, but must have three meals, etc, etc, every day, while the retired hubby tries to fish his days away, regularity and respon sibility preserve the women, while idleness claims the men. I know a small town with about 70 widows in two streets. from a variety of sources khat | ! his winter ' remember that your size has something to' do with suc cess. The bigger the man, it ap pears, the better are his chances of getting to the top of his busi ness or profession. That being the case, the present generation of young pe^nle in Marlboro county should have an easier read to travel than prev ious ones did. They are growing considerably taller. Today, the average height for a man is five feet ten inches and, for a woman, five feet four. It represents a gain of about an inch in the last 25 years. It is nearly two inches more than the average was 50 years ago, when grandfather was in his prime. The findings are by the De partment of Agriculture, by the Society of Actuaries and others. For residents of Marlboro coun ty, the increase in height during the last 50 years amounts to near ly three percent on the basis of the national figures. In other words 1,000 of today’s local residents, stretched out a- long a straight line, head to foot, would extend just as far as 1,030 of 1915 size would have. To carry the statistical fantasy a step further, if the extra inches of height sported by present-day residents of Marlboro county were to be taken away and used to as semble additional people of 1915 stature, a very unlikely happening, there would be enough to put to gether 813 new ones. The Agriculture Department attributes the growth trend to better nutrition, to significant ad vances in medicine and public health and to better living stand ards generally. What has height got to do with success of life ? The evidence is all circumstantial. For example, except for Harry Truman, all the presidents in the past 64 years were above average in height. Also, bank presidents and corpor ate directors are taller than most people. However, there are innumer able exceptions, Napoleon, Ghandi, Churchill and Einstine, to name a few.” A very practical point I make here: What’s become of grand father’s left overs if grandson is several inches taller? May we assume that this ap plies throughout South Carolina? The relevant facts apply to most of our counties. Nature may have grown tired of small people since we’ve had no Napoleons, nor even Harry Trumans; so now Marlboro will try to produce Lyndon Johnsons, Dick Jefferies, Jim Corbetts, Tex Willards and giants, more of less. How tall was that illustrous citizen of Marlboro who produced the world record yield of corn, about 60 years ago? Is Marlboro still producing Captain Drakes and keeping them under cover.

Here is a bit of advice, though this sizzling weather is far from winter’s chill: Still winter will be here after awhile, say 4 months. Think of it while the prespiration pours off you and prepare for the chilling blasts of November. “One out of every 4 motorists will have trouble starting h i s truck or car this winter—and the battery will be blamed for the trouble. In many cases, however, the real culprit may be a defect ive ignition system. A recent year-round survey of automobile ignition problems has brought out the fact that one out of every three vehicles on the highways has a defective ignition system, and one out of two has spark plugs that need attention. Here’s why. As long as a bat tery has a reserve of energy—as even old batteries do on hot sum mer days—the ignition system will perform. But a battery loses power as the temperature drops. At 80 degrees F. power is 100 per cent; at 32 degrees, 60 per cent; at 0 degrees at 46 per cent; and at 20 below, only 30 per cent. But at the same time, as the temperature drops the battery has more work to do, for more power is needed to turn over a cold en gine than a warm one. The in creased engi demands mean there is less p.r r to fire the plugs, and the plugs themselves need more energy when the wea ther is |Cold. Compare this with starting trouble on the basis of spark plug age. Only 12 per cent of vehicles with new spark plugs have start ing trouble, but 41 per cent have trouble if their plugs have 12,000 or more miles of service. The chances of starting trouble trip- pies during normal plug life. Looking at starting failures by Let’s try a little straight talk from Tom Anderson: “We don’t like to brag, but we’ve built a debt several times greater than the combined debts of all the nations of the world. Our total public debt, including all commitments, is now more than one trillion dollars. How much is a trillion dollars? End to end, a trillion dollar bills would reach around the middle of the earth 4,000 times. But after all, this is the Space Age. We don’t blame the fact that we’re bank rupt entirely on you. We confess that we have amassed twice as much debt spending for our own selfish interests as we have on the rest of the world. Since we are, or used to be, the world’s richest country, 20 years ago we set out to buy your friend ship and to level ourselves down so we could share some of your disadvantages. While we had two cars in every garage, millions of friends in Africa couldn’t afford even two missionaries in every pot. Or even afford pots. The Communists at that time had a total of only 7 per cent of the world’s population. Roosevelt, Hiss, Lattimore, Rusk, Hopkins, Marshall, Acheson, Eisenhower, Truman, Kennedy and other of our great leaders realized that only by helping our communist allies become ‘haves’ instead of ‘have- nots’ could we bring about lasting peace and brotherhood. So, our government officials gave them various little helps, like our money plates, our atomic bomb secrets, ships, tractors, textile mills, East Berlin, China, Laos, Cuba. And now ou** communist friends have —they have 40 per cent of the world’s people and 25 per cent of the land mass. We have tried. It is unfair for us to retain a system, a race and a culture which has enabled us to achieve a so- rhuch-higher standard of living, so we are replacing Capitalism with Socialism, religion with hum anism. We are destroying our restrictive immigration law. We are amalgamating with the Ne gro. We are now fresh out of gold ind are even having to remove the sfilver from our coins. When we’re broke will you rush to our aid? Or will you just rush us? For 20 years our foreign aid has been the life-blood of Com munism, has redistributed our wealth, eaten up our gold reserves, provided free see-the-world vaca tions for Congressmen, concensus- crats, their families and girl friends. Some of our superpatriots scream that aiding the enemy, is treason. Perhaps our superpat riots are the ones guilty of trea son. Our Constitution says that *no money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law.' Yet we never bother our people by asking them to vote on fonign aid bills. Congress just appropri ates a blank check to our foreign aid administrators. A recent Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona, the late M. T. Phelps, said: T find not a word, a line, a clause or a promise in the Fed eral Constitution that authorizes the foreign aid.” | JUNBR MIPS AIMNPK ACP. • • lUai* a omnsD uibcubp amd a TO A PROPERTY TRANSFERS Newberry No. 1 Jason W.
