My question is: Do you think I should tell my fiance that 1 voted for Lyndon Johnson? Sincerely. Amy” Dear Amy: Take the fifth, like j Lyndon Johnson does. Tom ? Some critics may think I'm anti- Johnson. I’m for Johnson, as our 51st state, out in space some where. I am also for the new bill in the House of Representative’s hopper to offer a proper memor ial to Lyndon B. Johnson by put ting his likeness on the new sil verless quarter. The bill’s propon ent, Congressman Battin (Mont.), stated that it is not right to continue George Washington’s image on a partially worthless coin and that Johnson, the man who invented the consensus coin, richly deserves the honor. Our new coins have been called sand-i P’Dners, li\e vich coins. They will contain thin Land. But the slices of copper, nickle and C2HLF between two slices of cornhread. No doubt about it. Johnson has put money in our pockets—new, quiet money which thuds instead of jingles. Although we are in a war for « survival as a free people under : ort y just God, more people get government happiness. The checks for not working than at any time in history. That’s be cause our government is so huge, so socialistic, so crooked, so im moral, and so influenced by min ority pressure groups. Private charities in our coun try could, and would if allowed, take care of all destrv'ng cases gators that projects.” Of course. Every Police State has informers. Commissar Weaver derman, has broad authority t<> decide who qualifies for rent subsidies. Another purpose of this fantas tic federal fraud is to enable the government to move Negro fam ilies into suburban, white middle- class neighborhoods. This Bill was passed ;n spite of tne fad that the government’s own figures show that more than PO per cent of all families in the $4000 to $8000 income class are already adequately housed. The “experimental” program is set up to run 40 years, after which the Communists then running the gov ernment will re-name it and con tinue. We talk about “Socialist Fug- land.” We are now far more soc ialist than England. But we’re not honest enough to CALL it Socialism. Bureaucrats, like girdle manu- off the fat of the 50 million Ameri cans who get regular govern ment cheeks are cutting through the fat to the lean, on to the bone. And the bone is beginning to look like a butcher's block as we raise the debt limit again “temporarily."

When a government dispenses “charity” you can he certain that the poli tical favorites, the Bureaucrats, and not the needy will receive most of it. Total government planning has no room for true Christian charity! The best way to reduce the ex ploitation of man by man is to embrace Christianity. The Christ ian tenet holds that the reforma tion of society begins with the in dividual himself, is activated by a regeneration of the spirit and maintained by faith, works and thanksgiving. Having already bought and paid for—or, more appropriately, bor rowed for—the lower classes, the classes, the Great Society has now get out to seduce the middle class es. The Congress has agreed for you to pa\ r rent of people making up to $11,200 (in New York). The statesmen appropriated $6 billion to be stolen from the well-to-do. The Great Deciety now has the Negro vote, the Labor vote, the “foreign” vote, the underprivileg ed vote, the stolen vote and the House vote. The Act was proposed and twisted into being by Lyndon Johnson, multimillionaire land lord of Johnson City, Texas, and Washington, D. C. So, if you have been saving to buy a home, forget it. Let some body else do it for you. That’s the new American way. How do you go about getting your neighbor to pay your rent? If you make less than $8,900 and would like to have a bigger house, just write the Socialist who represents you in Washington. There are approxi mately 47 milion families in the United States. Forty per cent of them, or more than 18 million families, can qualify to get in on this housing steal. (Eighteen mil lion families—that represents more than twice as many eligible votes as Goldwater got in the past election.) Here’s the way it works: If your income is $8,000 and you want to live in a house renting for $220 per month (that’s as high as the Bill allows), the taxpayers of the United States will pay the difference between the annual rent, $2,640, and 1-4 your income, or $640 per year. How will the Socialists in charge know that the income fig ures you furnish them are hon est? According to Robert Wea ver, Administrator of the Hous- are to join our one-world bro thers and brother-eaters in a classless cooneiative and peace ful world society, we must re nounce our “out-of-date” reli gious. moral and economic con cepts.

It has been resched- uled for Tuesday, October 26. UF training session has good response The United Fund of Newberry County held its training session on Monday evening in the New berry High School auditorium with L. E. Gatlin Jr., Campaign Chair man, presiding. Both he and W. E. Monroe, President of the Un ited Fund, were pleased at the number of campaign workers present and at the enthusiasm which was in evidence. Gatlin explained in detail the use of the campaign literature and outlined the plans for reports from solicitors. Each Division held a meeting just for its members, dis tributing campaign kits and mak ing further plans for their work. L. E. McBride of Columbia, field secretary of Carolinas Unit ed, showed a film indicating the extent to which the United Fund reaches into the life of the com munity. This was followed by slides portraying the activities of several participating agencies and giving additional suggestions as to solicitations. James D. Reynolds of Colum bia, secretary and treasurer of the Thomas and Howard Company and past president of the Rich land County Fund, gave an in spiring address on the purposes and the benefits of the United Fund, stressing the point that the “United Way” is a community en terprise as contrasted with in dividual undertakings. He stated that the United Fund can well be regarded as “Many appeals and drives brought into one appeal and drive, carefully budgeted and distributed to the beneficiary agencies.” Further, he placed em phasis on the fact that success in this undertaking will bring pride to residents of Newberry County and that others would take it as evidence that “We Care Guest speakers at the Exchange Club of Newberry at its Fire Prevention Week program Tues day night were, left to right, Cap tain Bill Profitt, Carol Hipp, pro gram chairman, Chief Walter J. i Black, Exchange President Gor don Leslie, and Captain Herbert E.

COUNTS Mrs. Ida Clamp observed her 101st birthday Saturday at a rest home where she has lived for a year. Friends brought gifts and a birthday cake, a custom that they have observed during the last few years. Before moving to the rest home Mrs. Clamp had spent her entire life in the Smyrna Community. As long as her health permitted she was active in community events. She is a life-long member of Smyrna Presbyterian Church and its women’s organization. She taught a young people’s Sunday school class and organized a jun ior choir. Reading the Bible and prayer have been an important part of her daily life. She is a charter member of Smyrna Home Demonstration Club. During the war, when gasoline was rationed, Mrs. Clamp brought women of her community to Red Cross head- quarter’s in Newberry to roll bandages. After the death of her husband I Mrs. Clamp continued to operate the family farm with the aid of hired workers for many years. She was asked several years ago, “To what do you attribute your long life?” Her reply was, “I’ll say hard work. I have work ing on the farm, doing all my cooking and household work. Yes it has been a hard life, but wom en as a rule live longer than men, and it is probably because they work harder.” Mrs. Clamp has a son, Raymond Longshore, a Ford dealer in Bel ton. Widows letting benefits go by According to Martha F. Pressly, manager of the Greenwood Social Security Office, only about 25 per cent of the anticipated num ber of widows between the ages of 60 and 62 have thus far filed claims for reduced widows’ bene fits. The 1965 amendments to the Social Security Act provides that the widows o| insured workers un der age of 62, who do not have children under 18 in their care, can receive monthly benefits. These reduced benefits are pay able beginning with the month of September 1965 or for the month of attainment of age 60, which ever is later. Benefits are reduced by iive-ninths of one per cent for each month a widow is under the age of 62. No benefits are payable until an application is filed. Nor mally, a widow will also have to present her marriage certificate and proof of her age. As in the case of other benefits, widows’ benefits are subject to deductions for excess earnings. Miss Pressly invites anyone de siring further information or to file a claim to contact Howell M. Spiller of the Greenwood Social Security Office who serves New berry County. He will be at the Court House in Newberry each Thursday between 10 and 12 noon. MOVE TO MOWER STREET Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Ray Pruitt have moved to 1506 Mower street tn mnkp their home. Layton declares Prevention week Mayor Ernest H. Layton, acting as spokesman for the County, is sued a proclamation calling upon all citizens to take an active part in the nation’s observance of Fire Prevention Week, starting Octo ber 3rd. The Mayor called attention to the fact that his proclamation and that of President Johnson, i n setting aside the week of October 3 to 9 for the annual observance of a week devoted to fire safety, is a part of a national effort in which Newberry County will co operate with all cities throughout the country. Property losses resulting from fires in 1964 reached a total of over $1,367,128,000, Mayor Lay- ton said. Newberry County’s loss was $73,365.00 plus. In his proclamation, the Mayor called upon all municipal and County departments to assist the fire prevention committee of the Newberry County Municipal As sociation to make this year’s Fire Prevention Week the most effec tive on record for Newberry coun ty.
