THE “SPECTATOR S” COLUMN We have been treated to a new sensation. I quote the account as published in the daily papers, this full quotation being taken from the News and Courier of Charles ton: “Converse College Professor E. Wesley Walton believes that even tually human beings will be able to live a thousand years—if not forever. This new lease on life, says the professor, will be brought about by frc ezing people immediately af ter death, storing them until sci ence has found cures for the dis eases which killed them — then thrawing them, repairing the damage done by the diseases, and bringing the people back to life. ‘It’s the most important develop ment of the century—or of all time,’ Walton says of the freezing and reanimation plan. ‘If our generation doesn’t do it, the next one will.’ Walton explains that many peo ple immediately reject the freez ing concept because they don’t understand what death is. It is not, he says, a condition which comes about instantly and cannot be reversed. Death is, instead a gradual process. W T hen a person has stopped breathing and his heart has ceased to beat, he is clinically dead, but his other body organs continue to function. At this point, the person can still be revived, the annals of medi cine are filled with accounts of people being restored to life after heart and lung action have halt ed. Withing six minutes, biological death sets in, and the brain and other organs may begin to suffer damage from lack of oxygen. However, it is only after cellular death—deterioration of body cells —has begun that a person is com pletely beyond the reach of any help. According to Walton, the freez ing plan would involve lowering the body temperature immediately after clinical death. The patient would then be placed in a specially designed capsule and kept frozen with liquid nitrogen until the diseased organ could be repaired or replaced. The body would be healthy, Walton says, except for the organ which caused clinical death. He and other members of the society believe that the pat ient could be revived after the dis eased part had been repaired or replaced. The plan is a praitical one that would prevent the senseless waste of human life, Walton says. It would involve doing for human beings what we have always been willing to do for automobiles and appliances. Tf the battery goes dead in your automobile,’ says the professor, ‘You don’t call up a wrecker and have the entire ve hicle hauled to the nearest junk yard. You keep it until you can replace the battery.’ There is no conflict between the freezing plan and religious views, Walton feels. ‘In the eyes of God, a lifetime whether it lasts 40 years or a thousand, is but a wink. I don’t think this will in terfere with the spiritual outlook. It certainly won’t bother God a bit’. Walton feels that extending and protecting human life is a duty imposed by religion, and there fore the freezing plan is lompat- ible with any religion based on love of life and one’s fellowman.” I do not endorse this altogether. I am willing for men to make any investigation or experiment their intellects may suggest. In other words, while this idea is repugnant to me nnd I, like many others, will feel a certain repugnance at tampering with those we call dead, clinically, or otherwise dead. I am willing for men to use their reasoning powers or their imagination, for all those powers of ours are but new expressions of the power of the Almighty for He is life and energy, creator of all things. As the psychologists tell us that no man has ever used more than 20 per cent of his brain pow er, ov intellectual potential, there is a vast unused power waiting for development. I say again, 1 am not repelled by any one’s theories or experi ments because we learn frequent ly of discoveries and developments of things and powers implanted by the Creator in the beginning. Elec tricity, for example, was available thousands of years ago but men were not prepared to use it. So with uranium, titanium and i scores of other things now in use or being exploited for use. Where was oil a hundred years ago? In the land, just as it is now. It may have resulted from fossil re mains a million years, but still has the hand of Jehovah on it. Some strive for wealth; some for position; some for happiness, but all die or will die; we cannot evade or escape that; so the sub ject is interesting if not conclu sive. I do not wonder that the Apos tles didn’t even imagine a life or renewed spirit or regeneration; science was a long way off from the humble men of Isreal. But Jesus, as the son of God, the ! Second Person of the Trinity, who was at the Creation of the world, the beginning of all things. He, as the Son of God, knew all things; and he said “I am the res urrection and the life; he that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet he shall live,” meaning the spiritual existence of the re deemed persons. “I am the way, the truth and the life; no one cometh unto the Father but by me.” So we in our simple faith think of death as a release of the Eternal Spirit which unites us to the Great Crea tor. So we are not distinguishing clinical death, physical death, theological death or what have you. We live and move and have our being in the Eternal. And all or our facilities and abilities are the creation of the Lord. No discovery, no theory, no de velopment militates again.st the eternal truth that “In the begin ning God created the Heaven and the earth” and in that sweet and simple faith we know that any fresh discovery will be only a new revelation of the Most High. When I was a lad it was said of those doing unnecessary things that it was like carrying coals to New Castle. New Castle, England, was the great home of coal. I re coordinated! look! ■: X'-.vSgW.*->£*■• V s Now is the time ... See our wide and wonderful selection of Sweaters, Skirts, Slacks and Jumpers. We have the largest collection ever. Hiyife call thinking of that when I passed through New Castle, going to Scotland. But low and behold we are now shipping coal to New Castle. “New car dealers sold nearly 4.6 million U. S. made automo biles in the first six months this year, up 14 per cent from last year. Import car dealers probably de livered 250,000 new autos to Americans in the half, pushing the grand total to more than 4.8 million units. ‘The spring car-buying fever seemingly is carrying over into the .summer months’ with no let up in sight,’ says John DeLorean. He noted that some economists say the boom is over, but he has not been able to spot any decline. ‘There’s no question. We’re ex tremely optimistic about the future,’ he said at a meeting with reporters. Car sales normally slide in July from June, but he said the divis ion expects to sell about as many cars this month as last, with the recent Federal excise-tax cut and a backlog of customer orders for Pontiacs 50 per cent ahead of last year spurring summer sales. In June 805,000 American-made care were sold; up 19 per cent from 676,000 a year earlier. This is only the second time U. S. made sales have topped 800,000 in a single month. They hit 816,- 000 in March. The June daily sell ing rate, however, averaging nearly 31,000 deliveries a day, was a record for any month and nudged above the May selling rate, the first time the June rate has topped May. Now do you wonder that that the accident rate in increasing each year? Looking A. head ... by Dr. Gtorg« S. Btnson PRESIDENT-NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM SMrcy, AHwmm . ' ^ THE ATTACK ON U. S. FOREIGN POLICY Many negative noises from the groves of academe have been raised, seconded and echoed by various political beatniks and ap ologists for Communism, against the emerging U. S. foreign policy. These are minority views, more raucous than persuasive, simply because for the most part they are neither historically sound nor ideologically constant with Amer ican interests. The arguments, be sides lacking the stamp of schol arship that adheres to fact, most ly emotionalize irrelevancies. They frequently have descended to personalities, as with one critic who called White House advisers “vile, stupid and reactionary.” Yankee, Go Home One of the bad arguments float ing around the liberal circuit is that U. S. intervention in the Dominican Republic is as bad as Soviet intervention in Hungary. In fact, Norman Thomas has em phasized this point of view right along with Communist spokesmen, challenging “Yankee imperialism.” But the Hungarian revolt was an expression of enslaved people ag ainst Soviet tyranny, while out side infiltrators entered Santo Domingo to perform a Castro- type takeover. Moreover, the U. S. has welcomed and encouraged oth er OAS countries to help keep the peace in the Dominican Republic. No one denies the U. S. has little intent of staying perman ently in the Dominican Republic or South Vietnam. What the em erging Johnson Foreign Policy does intend to do, although it has been slow in saying so and clumsy in following through, is to de fend the U. S. national purpose to stop Red aggression. The Red plan for “wars of liberation” must not succeed. This amounts to a stand against Communism, and that is the nub of the argument. Some of our fine objectors, ap parently, wish to consider any sort of anti-Communism objection able. Restraint anl Tolerance It is wishful thinging to argue that Communism is no threat to U. S. interests in Southeast Asia and other places in the world. It is immoral to accuse the Johnson administration .of -deceit- about this. It is intellectually- shallow to insist any longer that the Viet Cong represents only a civil re bellion of internal politics, as some insist. It is beside the point, to plead that our presence in South Vietnam provokes Red China and risks nuclear war. Any nation of the free world that says no to a Communist power mgpjt .assum risks. Although, the Presidoni has shown restraint in this, his crit ics find no praise for him. Leading U. S. intellects, ac cording to .Archiball MacLeish, are concerned lest the nation be come a “bully” in its relations with other countries. He has re ferred to n “tolerance for others' opinions” that usually character ises the intellectual's approach to international relations. But not letteing one's, neighbors alone, as Secretary Rusk so simply states it, is the most rampant intolerance for the ideas of freedom. That is what the struggles of this cen tury are all about. These same critics would not have applied their “hands off” advice to us with respect to Hitler, Mussolini, or Tojo. Their tolerance is only for Communism, which actually is the most intolerant “ism” the modern world faces. Our Aims Not Selfish It is little wonder that such confusion at home is multiplied abroad where many people seem to want to forget past U. S. in volvements in behalf of freedom and liberty. Both we and they have paid some heavy costs in Europe and Asia for delay in ac ting for freedom. If anyone now expects the U. S. not to accept responsibility in its position of power and leadership, not only to use its resources for peace, not to practice moral uses of power in concert with other free peoples —then ideed something would be wrong with us and the world would see it. In the thought capitals of the free world, men must more and more reach a proper and moral rationale that embraces free dom’s philosophies and require ments. It must not be expected that we should fail to use every resource to preserve our interests’ to save lives, and to encourage free nations faced with Red en- guifment. These are national aims but they are not entirely selfish. If there must be debate, let it attend to the issues. We must not skirt the problem by conducting various political operations or at tempt to save face for 1968. Our leadership must move to protect the nation’s interests, which in cludes stopping Communism. SPORTS AFIELD When the hunting seasons are over, don’t lay that good hunting dog in the shelf line an old hunt ing coat. Sure, he’s earned the right to a good rest; but you will not be doing him any favor by letting that rest develop into a protracted period of inactivity in which his muscles grow soft and flabby, his interest wanes and he takes on unnecessary fat. Early morning or late afternoon jaunts afield, when the summer time weather is the coolest, can help keep the dog in good condi tion during the off-season, par ticularly if this practice is carried on regularly—even if the jaunt lasts only 15 or 20 minuies. If it is not practical to allow him to run free, take a good, long daily walk with the dog on leash. But regularity is the important thing. It will do little good to exercise a dog regularly for two weeks and then let his lie idle for a similar period. A lot of good training lessons can be taught that entail summer time exercise. If the dog is a nat ural retriever or has been taught to retrieve by the force method, he can be given a refresher course in this accomplishment to improve his efficiency and give him the needed exercise at the .same time. If he is not a retriever, summer is a good time to develop i£ by teach ing him the art. “Roading” from horseback is a favorite and effec tive way to develop the dog’s muscles and keep him in hardened condition,” states Henry P. Davis, Sporting Dog Editor - of Sports Afield Magazine. This is a com mon practice with professional bird-dog traininers in the waits between, or even during, field trials. The dog is buckled into a roading harness attached to a long, stout check cord. The train er or his assistant mounts a horse and allows the dog to pull against the harness as he roads him along country lanes or cross-country. Usually a roading session last from 30 minutes to about an hour. The dog's desire to run free cross country keeps his eager to go, he pulls hard as he can and all the muscles in his legs, quarters, shoulders and back are employed, getting the exercise needed to keep them in trim for the long hunt.
