Well, here’s something that may | battery age and plug conditions,

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?

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-

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

A cure for ap art of the trouble

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. I
wonder.

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.”
