WHO’S WHO IN VIETNAM?
Thich Tri Quang is a Budd
hist monk. Everyone who keeps
up with the news knows that,
just as they know that he is a
Leading Buddhist Monk in S.
Vietnam, and that he does not
like the government of General
^ By*. What ^everyone* may not
know is that^he didn’t like the
last six Soyih Vietnamese gov
ernments either; he helped to
overthrow them all.
There are ^ome who say that
the only government that Tri
Qua-njf'would approve is one in
which the Buddhists hold the
power.
At first glance, this proposal
seems only fair. After all, we
keep reading in the news dis
patches that the great majority
of South Vietnamese people are
Buddhists. Ought not they be
given proportionate weight in
the government ? If the Budd
hists—and, therefore, most of
the people—don’t approve of
the Ky government, why should
the United States support Ky?
These are _ good questions.
Unfortunately the “facts” that
prompt. them are false. For
Buddhism is far from being
the majority religion in South
Vietnam. At MOST, 30 per ct.' anti-Tri Quang.

other reason for wanting to get

Also in 1962, the people of

Dr. King’s remarks are just
what Thich Tri Quang wanted
to hear. For, to be entirely suc
cessful in overthrowing a gov
ernment in the midst of a
bloody war, Quang and his dem
onstrators know they must have
American public opinion on
their side.
It is a pity that our public
opinion is so misinformed. If
you’d like to educate yourself on
the matter, we recommend read
ing Marguerite Higgins’ excel
lent book, “Our Viet Nam
Nightmare.” The facts contain
ed in this book are not all pal
atable—but they are necessary

NINE MEN VS. 50 STATES
The United States Senate de
feated the controversial “Dirk-
i sen Amendment” on April 20.
I The Liberals breathed a huge
sigh of relief. The newspaper
now tell us that the issue is
over and done with; it is dead;
and we must turn our thoughts
to bigger and better things.
But the issue must not die.
It has to do with the basic
principles upon which our gov
ernment was established. These
principles are currently being
violated by the Supreme Court
of the United States.
What was the Dirksen Am
endment all about?
The Senator had proposed an
amendment to the Constitution
of the United States. This
amendment would have given
the individual states the right
to constitute ONE house of
a two-house State legislature
on some basis other than pop
ulation.
For 175 years, the States
exercised that right. A typical
State legislature was modeled
after the U. S. Congress: One
house, like the House of Rep
resentatives, was based on pop
ulation; the other, like the Sen
ate, on geography. But in 1962
the Supreme Court of The Uni
ted States declared that BOTH
houses in EVERY state legis
lature would have to be based
for one, doesn't agree that they
have that “right.” That is why
he proposed his amendment.
His proposal failed this year,
but it is to be hoped that vic
tory is still in sight in a fu
ture session of Congress.
Meanwhile, there is another
way to stop the Supreme Court
from taking over the States.
Congressman William Tuck,' of
Virginia, has proposed a sim
ple Act of Congress. His Act
would remove from the Sup
reme Court all jurisdiction over
State legislative apportionment
cases. Which is to say that the
Court would be FORBIDDEN
BY LAW to tamper with State
legislatures.
Mr. Tuck points out that Con
gress is given, by the Constitu
tion, the express authority to
limit the kind and number of
cases that the Court can try.
We think it is about time that
Congress exercises this right
of authority—before nine unel
ected men in Washington go
even further to destroy
probably never fully tested by
most of us.
Whether Jehovah gave us one
talent, two talents or five tal
ents we know from observation
that the one talent man, in the
full development of one talent,
surpasses most men of five tal
ents.
Here in our great ai)d rich
America the great leaders are
seldom of preeminent intellec-
world and glorify the Giver of
tuality; our nation has men
of great potentiality and still
has extraordinary men; but the
common run of men seen fall
into a rut and deal in common
places. But all observation in
dicates that brilliance is rare;
ordinary men do most of the
work. Only rarely do we find
a transcendent figure whose life
and achievements enrich the
all things.
So we ordinary men carry on,
walking in the path blazed by
geniuses.
An advertisement of the wild
billows of the sea reads “To

likely true.

Easter has come and gone.
“The tumult and the shout
ing dies; Still breathes thy an
cient sacrifice.
A broken and contrite heart.
Lord God of hosts—Be with
us yet, Lest we forget, lest we
forget.”
And what should we cherish ?
The God of our Fathers.
“Thou hast been our dwelling
place in all generations.
Before the mountains were
brought forth; or ever thou hast
formed the earth and the world.
Even from everlasting to ev
erlasting Thou art God.”
So we are inheritors from be
fore Moses and Elijah.
And nearer yet; God of our
fathers!
The great chorus ha^ sung;
the ladies in finery have joined
in song and worship; the men
were there too, though in re
cent years men have renounc
ed frills and finery and have
come in quiet, sober raiment.
Easter is always with us in
truth. Even though we cherish
the sturdy old patriots, Elisha
and all the hosts of the faith
ful.
We live in an age of miracles
for life of every day abounds
in the glorious contribution of
Jehovah.
We may remember the great
figures of sacred history; and
we may cherish forever the sac
rificial living of our mothers;
but Easter turns our gaze to
the future, the life to come—
that new day when each one
will face the Maker of all
things, the Judge of all men.
Ahead of everyone is the new
life, the glorious resurrection
when the rising of the Saviour
proved the eternal life, the end
less life that no one can escape.
So the great organs and or
chestra may be hushed; and the
gay raiment may be set aside,
but Easter in a quiet way, in
our bed at home, or in a hos
pital, or far away in the briny
deep—somewhere, sometime we
shall face our own Easter,
greeting the risen Lord.
So today there is as much wa
ter to drink as flows near Cuba.
Some interesting news culled
from reports of The S. C. Elec
tric and Gas Company.
“The Home Service represen
tatives of the South Carolina
Electric and Gas company es
timate that if you are an av
erage homemaker with a family
of four, you wash 17 thousand
dishes a year. You also wash
and iron a ton or more of laun
dry . . . prepare more than a
thousand meals . . . clean miles
of rugs. Yet, thanks to depend
able electric ‘servants’ you can
do it all with time left over
for family fun and community
affairs. All through your house
electricity helps and entertains
you—at the flick of a switch.”
“The industrial growth in
South Carolina is most grati
fying—for all concerned. But
sometimes, in the enthusiasm
for t the new, we tend to over
look the steady growth of in
dustries that have long been a
part of our community. Take
the S. C. Electric & Gas Co. as
an example. Just recently, they
announced that it would spend

Business seems booming, ac
cording to reports of our
Banks. Everything seems like
the sun shining on us AmerL
cans. But even here we have
poverty and affliction, sin and
sorrow, heart aches, turbulence,
disaster. It is all a part of life.
Through suffering and sorrow
we understand more of our fel-
lowman and more of the gra
cious dispensation of the Most
High.
“Life is real, life is earnest
and the grave is not its goal—
Dust thou are, to dust return-
eth, was not spoken of the
Soul.”
Life is our great opportunity
to serve the Lord by serving our
fellowmen. Life is a period of
testing; we have all been rich
ly endowed by Jehovah with
talents of all kinds.
As told in the Scriptures there
may be great talents and hum
ble abilities. We can’t all be
great, preeminent figures; but
we can be faithful in a few
things, using, developing even
the small aptitude.

RECENT CHANGES IN
SOCIAL SECURITY LAW
One of the most recent
changes in the Social Security
law is one that allows widows
to receive a monthly benefit at
age 60. Martha F. Pressly, Dis
trict Manager of the Greenwood
Social Security Office stated
today that this change was ief-
fective in''"September 1 1965 and
that many widows were taking
advantage of the change. How
ever, she believes that there
'are many more widows in thi*
area who could be receivmg
these monthly benefits.
The requirements for enti
tlement to this monthly benefit
are:
(1) Be at lejftst 60 years old.
( (2) Be the iridow of a per
son who worked and was in
sured under social security.
The widow must-file an ap
plication and she should pre
sent evidence of her age and
marriage. ^ *
Miss Pressly advises anyone
who feels she can qualify for
this pension to contact the of
fice in Greenwood.
The Greenwood office is open
through Friday from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. and it will be open on
all Saturdays through June
