This is not an idle question. Such destruction could actually take place any moment. Right now, the Soviet Union possesses an orbital missile, which could execute a literal strike from space upon any target on earth. The Soviets could launch this missile within five hour: - . We could not launch a similar one for five years—and then only if we broke the Moscow Test Ban Treaty. These startling- facts were revealed to the Manion Forum audience on December 12 by Rear Admiral Chester Ward (USN-Ret.). Admiral Ward is the co-author, with Phyllis Schlafly, of the new book “Strike From Space.” Admiral Ward asserted over the Manion Forum that our State Department has “official ly asked the Soviet Government if they intended to out such weapons into space.” Did the Department really expect an honest answer ? The State Department then comfortably assured the Amer ican people that ‘although eith er the U. S. or Russia could put such a weapon into orbit, there would be no military sense in doing so.” They neg lected to mention that the U. S. could NOT put the weapon into orbit at the present time, while the Soviets can. Do they sup pose that the enemy will wait five years, or ten, until we have perfected a weapon to do- story them? That would not make very good ‘military sense' to the Russians. Why not strike us while we are unable to strike back? “Our book asserts,” said Ad miral Ward, “that there is a group of non-Commun;st Am ericans who control our nation al defense and foreign policy in this country. It presents evi dence proving that they are unilaterally and clandestinely disarming the United States of 95 per cent of its strategic military power. This in effect invites a Soviet surnrise attack, but they think they can avert such an attack by making it unnecessary, through an ad vanced surrender.” In other words, if we disarm ourselves completely, maybe the Soviets won’t attack us. Then again maybe they would. Dis armament is a gamble based on the good intentions of the enemy—an enemy that has dis played no good intentions to wards us in the past. “There are external enemies of the United States which are plotting to destroy us,” said Admiral Ward, “and there are two groups within our country which have been weakening our capability of deterring a nuc lear attack and destroying our right to protect ourselves ag ainst the threat of internal sub version.” Add up the internal foe towards disarmament and the Soviet orbital missile: they equal a most iminous conclusion for America. Your very life is at stake— along with 149 millim other Americans.

Painting can be fun and entertaining for the kids, especially with this paint-by-letter kit designed exclusively for chil- * dren. The kit includes ready- 1 made frame, assortment of paints, brush, along with the picture board. OUTDOOR THEME If you want your outdoor deco rations to sparkle, begin with a plan. Keep your plan simple, accenting and decorating a single feature — a tree, chimney, or door. Use your imagination to camouflage floodlights. Pine bough, tiny figures, or snow banked behind the lights hide them well. Don’t overdecorate with lights strung haphazardly from tree to tree, or gate to gate. CHRISTMAS TOPS Christmas meant a new supply of rattles and tops for little ones of the Middle Ages. In the 12th and 13th centuries, little girls who requested dolls for Christmas usually had to settle for crude clay ones. Little boys of that era got toy horses and knights as gifts.

PEACE SYMBOL Modern youth may never give it a thought, but the custom of kissing under the mistletoe sup posedly began with the Romans, who considered the mistletoe a symbol of peace. Enemies, meet ing under the mistletoe, were ex pected to embrace and declare a truce. Roman youngsters prob ably came up with the kissing idea. TREE BELIEFS Some people regard it as un- icky to have an odd number of hristmas lights on the tree, and lere are many who believe it ecessary to remove the tree be- ire Twelfth Night, or Epiphany, •ther people say it is important tiat decorations be removed be- ore Candlemas (February 2) or misfnrtnnp” will follow Santa's Suit We don’t know Santa's work ing schedule, but Santa Claus Outfitters of Newark, N.J. be gin each July making Santa suits for the big selling months of November and December.
