SEC. A—PAGE 2 The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, December 23, 1965 1218 College St., Newberry, S. C. 29108 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY 0. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner Second-Class Postage Paid at Newberry, South Carolina SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Six months -$1.25. SPECTATOR This is the sunny South, isn’t it? Years ago, a northern man earne to Edgefield, where I was teaching, and he was en thusiastic over the sunny south. He told us of his home up north where fog and gloom prevailed often. 1 had enjoyed the sun in all parts of South Carolina, from Charleston to Anderson and I was not appreciative of the wondrous beauty of our State. Years later, however while living in Lima, Peru, I saw the days of gloom, ten days without the beauteous sunshine. I had heard so much about the roughness of the English Channel, between England and France; and much about the rough waters of the English channel. When I sailed across the En glish Channel, going and com ing, it was smooth and tran quil. And during my weeks in England I saw no fog. My good fortune deprived me of a rough sea and gave me abounding sunshine. We in Carolina have so many bright days we can’t think of those less fortunate people who have so much fog and gloom. Christmas is especially dear to Americans; Brittish and Ger mans. In my years in South America it was virtually a church service, with a little of the festive observance so char acteristic among us. My friends in Peru often ask ed about Christmas as we cele brate it. In very truth we make a holiday but not a holy day. Christmas among us has some features that almost destroy the religious meaning. Much of Our giving is more or less a swap of trinkets, ra ther than an act of worship. The profound significance of Christmas, is expressed in the name: Christmas, a celebration of the Christ. The basic idea, as I see it, was the wish of the Great Giv er of all things to bring within the comprehension of us ordi nary mundane creatures the Mrs. Dorn and the children join me in wish ing for each of you a joyful Holiday Season and the greatest New Year of all. Your Congressman, Wm. Jennings Bryan Dorn $2.00 per year in advance. Father of all who seek Him. It is easy to speak of the greatness and goodness of God; and we discuss much of His handiwork in a spirit of pra- ticality; but to think deeply of the Great Creator as a loving father is very, very difficult. God solved that for us by send ing His Son in the likeness of man. Jesus walked the earth; mingled with men and women, and participated in the life of each one: so we think of the Father as we recall the sympa thetic Jesus. So the coming of Jesus was an intimate and immediate fel lowship between the Heavenly Father and ourselves. How completely Jesus iden tified himself with us may be seen in His words: “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” Surrounded by all the mar vels of creation, God’s handi work, we are amazed by the splendors of creation, though we understand so little. Amen. God makes a progressive re velation of Himself and his bountiful provision for us. Al most every month we receive a revelation of something from His hand, withheld from us un til we were prepared to avail ourselves of U. Year by year we discover riches in the soil, wealth lying dormant and un used for centuries, but as our knowledge broadens and deep ens; and our needs become more imperative, we find fab ulous stores of wealth awaiting our need. But the most marvelous of all is the other life, when “we have shuffled off this mortal coil, and enter upon the life eternal.” All the flesh and blood and bone are perishable and revert to the prime elements. But the eternal spirit, is the gift which establishes complete fellowship with the God of Abraham, Is- saac, Jacob, and yet more close ly with the spirits of our loved ones. I do not mean to say that we renew acquaintanceship be cause my mother would have to rejoin her mother and her mother would rejoin all her ancestors. God answered that when Jesus said. “In that realm ing $38,000, wer issued by the there will be no marrying or giving in marriage, but they shall be as the angels.” So you need not worry and fret; for in that land we en ter upon a new existence close to the Giver of all things, as Jesus so clearly told us. We are bewildered by much that we read. The Japanese wrought such havoc with us 25 years ago, but our weapons of yesterday seem to be of small service. I have no doubt that we have more air plants than we need, but who knows what we need? Suppose an attack were launch ed from Canada or Mexico, not to forget Cuba. I've often marvelled at the destruction of our forts. Can't you imagine that a fleet of a hundred ships could get by ships and mines ? There are times whe nthe wis dom of leaders can be less than the prudence of the ordinary man in the street. “So runs my dream but what am F? An infant crying in the night. An infant crying in the light. And with no language but a cry.” That is my condition as a Commentator. I appreciate the Secretary of Defense as a brilliant man; as a ded : cated man; as a great patriot, but I think he goes too far. As we used to say, I think he goe.-. off half-cocked now and then. As one of my University classmates said of me, in de bate, “He is carried away by the exuberance of his verbos ity.” Yea, verily. Sometimes a man rushes too far and too fast under the zeal of his fine purpose. That is lack of balance and it is char acteristic of many reformers. As Shakespeare, or somebody else said, “The man of thought ful pose—he looks and laughs at all of that.” That might have been Robert Burnes, with his Scotch wisdom. As my Spanish friends would say “Quien sabe,’- translated, who knows ? I do not rate highly the President as an authority on Economics. To be entirely frank the whole science or philosophy of Economics was shot full of holes during the depression. And the holes have not been covered over or patched. One group talks and writes about Inflation—it is the order of the day. I dabbled in Economics in two Universities and all I know is not so. Now that is deplor able isn’t it? The Depression of 1932 seemed to knock all the professional Economists into a cocked hat, as we used to say. Now here we are, everybody talking about Inflation; and ap parently no one knows what it is or when or why. But it makes one appear learned or sophisticated when he looks im portant and pours out lang uage. One great figure says that if we pour out billions and bil lions we are galloping into tbe deepest abyss of Inflation whereas another brainy think er says we spend and spend and avoid all the evils of Inflation, so now, where are we ? Still we must have something to talk about with the assumption of profound thinking and vast HORSES Boarded at Blacks gate Estates.

It is a degree of fiscal sophistication, eh what? Even so. But tell me! What : s Infla tion? Now then, hc^w and why? President Johnson, spending a hundred billion and more is a long way from Inflation; but some others are diving into Inflation headlong. Still it seems that no one can recog nize Inflation; it seems to be a sort of evasive condition, a sort of fiscal sophistication, a con dition of marked idiosyncracy. following no rule and no law; and being dependent on the rep utation of the man talking. At any rate it seems that Inflation is a condition, not a theory but no one recognizes the symptoms in time to supply a remedy. , I am reminded of something I read years ago: The inmate of an asylum asked a distinguish ed visiting Methodist minister: “Sir, is the pomposity of the pompous unconditional”? The Minister sauvely and diplomat ically replied: “That depends.” And so, are we threatened with Inflation? Well, that depends. To prove that profound think ing may mystify great brains, someone said to Daniel Webs ter, “I bet a dollar that this side of the river is the other sid.” Mr. Webster remarked— “Impossible.” Well, how many sides are there? Two. Very well then: If the other side is one side then this must be the other side.” Some of our Economists are that perplexed.” EMPLOYEES SAVE . . . Continued from page 1 program.
