Benion PRESIDENT-NATIONAL j EDUCATION ?RO©RAM ' Searcy, Arkenset BEWARE OF COMMUNISTS IN CHURCHLY ROLES Nikolai Lenin, World Com munist messiah, taught his disciples that the United States '‘last bastion of capitalism” could be brought to its down fall by the degeneration of its institutions and its society. Josef Stalin, Lenin’s No. 1 disciple, reminded the party hierarchy that “capitalism carries the seed for its own destruction.” And Nikita Khrushchev, who trumpeted “co-existence,” nevertheless said in one of his American speeches that the U. S. would decay within itself and World Communism would “bury” the remains The strategy is to hasten the deterioration of America and then, when the decay is com plete, take over by insurrec tion or invasion. This is the strategy which the new Red bosses discussed and expanded at the 23rd Congress of the Communist Party of the USSR In Moscow last April. The chief target of the plotting, as al ways, is the Church. Atheist Communism from the begin ning has known that the one great force which could pre vent its takeover of the world was the church. In every nation where it now works to cultivate the fungus of decay it has infiltrated the Church and deceptively sought to abort its mission and turn it knto a materialistic “social” mechanism and propaganda device for Red goals. Reds Plan For Geneva Council Meeting It is imperative, therefore, that the people of America, in their Church congregations, un derstand clearly some of the forces which will be at work in the World Council of Churches when it convenes next month in Geneva, Switzer land. When Herbert Philbrick, author of “I Led Three Lives,” worked his way into the deep underground hierarchy of the Communist Party in Boston (serving secretly for the FBI), he met and plotted with many Communists who were being trained to be “ministers.” Some already-prominent “pre achers” were revealed to him to be Atheist Communists working secretly for the over throw of the U. S. A. Herbert Philbrick today is one of our nation’s outstanding authorities on World Commu nism and particularly its | widespread activities in Ameri- j ca. Here is his warning con cerning the Communist activi ties planned for the World Council meeting: j Planning For Propaganda Expansion “From sources behind the iron certain we learn that the Communist - controlled “churches” in the captive and slave nations of Europe have, since last December, been hold ing a series of special planning sessions to develop the propa ganda line to be brought be fore the scheduled meeting of SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE THE SILVER LINING FOR MANY YEARS the South, and the South alone, bore the brunt of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. The South was the sole target for the numerous con gressional enactments in the field and the government bu reaucrats’ attention and wrath were pointed exclusively south ward. The South became the original battleground for pro test demonstrations such as sit-ins, lie-ins, wade-ins and mass marches. DURING THIS PERIOD of time, the sympathies of the vast majority erf Americans outside the South lay almost entirely with the demonstrators and the government social plan ners. The propaganda that the colored man in the South was the victim of oppression and brutality so cruel that it Jus tified, and even required, taking the law into their own hands and even breaking it when it suited their purpose, was ac cepted at face value by those not personally familiar with the situation in the South. Any at tempt to enforce local laws and ordinances eoneerned with keeping the peace was viewed by many outside the South as Just a cover for the continued subjugation of the oppressed. This impression was fed and nurtured by the treatment the South received at the hands of the national news media which distorted the news coverage to depict the demonstrators in the best possible light and cast re flections upon the police and the local white populace. AT THE HEIGHT of this turbulent time, “agents-provo- cateurs” swarmed down upon the South to much the same manner that a swarm of locusts attacks a ripe wheat field and with virtually the same devas tating effect. Under the cloak of “nonviolence**, these outside agitators accomplished their purpose, which was to create a climate of unrest and provoke a violent over-reaction to their tactics. While violence was out wardly denounced, every act was designed as an open invi tation to violence on the part of a populace who had wit nessed the police frustrated in their attempts to cope with the problem. IN RECENT MONTHS, how ever. the location has shifted, even though the method of op- viously smugly satisfied that the evils being demonstrated against were far removed in a geographic sense, suddenly find themselves embroiled in mass marches and other types of demonstrations. THE AGITATORS who pre viously concentrated their ef forts in the South have dis- persed and sought new and dif ferent areas in which to sow their seeds of strife. In addi tion, the social planners and schemers in the federal bu reaucracy are turning their at tention to what are considered fertile fields and threaten to disrupt school systems in other areas of the country in addi tion to those in the South. AS THE AGITATORS fan out across the country leaving a trail of discord and violence in their wake and as the heavy hand of the federal government threatens to inject itself into the school systems nationwide, there has suddenly emerged a more widespread concern for the maintenance of law and order and a fear over the loss of local control of the schools. IN THE HOUSE OR REP RESENTATIVES, amendments were adopted to the so-called Civil Rights Act of 1966 which provide an indication of the concern now making Itself felt across the country. One of these amendments would make It a criminal offense for a person to cross State lines with the intent of inciting or promoting a riot or other violent dvil dis turbance. Other amendments added to the bill In the House prevent the Commissioner of Education from requiring the assignment of students in the ouhlic schools in order to over come racial imbalance. THESE AMENDMENTS, are admittedly small consolation considering the other uncon stitutional and vindictive provi sions of the measure. They are. nevertheless, significant in that they indicate a long overdue national awareness that law lessness and arbitrary govern ment action cannot be forever tolerated. IF EVERY CLOUD does in deed have a silver lining, per haps the cloud erf nationwide turmoD and defiance erf orderly processes signals a return to law and order. SPECTATOR Well, what about sleep 7 Do you enjoy refreshing sleep and wake next morning refreshed ; and feeling the tingle of re- j newed energy? Are you in the i mood of a world conqueror, or do you drag yourself out of bed with a groan? Some men need a lot of sleep, nine hours; others may indulge themselves in sleep 10 hours! The average of eight hours i seems about right, provided you sleep, sleep restfully. President Wilson, a highly intellectual man, slept about nine hours, as I recall. Napo leon Bonapart slept about four hours and carried a small lib rary with him on his cam paigns. When all the officers and men were asleep, except those on guard duty, the great military genius studied maps and campaigns and started the day with a clear mind and well- studied program. “Sleep is one of man’s most essential physiologic processes, yet in many ways it is the most baffling. For without sleep we may actually become physically ill, and people de prived of sleep for extended periods of time even may be come psychotic. Some people can get along surprisingly well on little sleep, and the ambitious person may regard sleep as a time- waster. But those who do not enjoy life, or find difficulty in meeting its demands, welcome sleep as a refuge. A great many people, of course, seek this refuge with harbituates and other sleeping potions. But research has prov en that these drugs do not pro duce normal sleep, and that an individual is not really rested from such a sleep. A vicious cycle is set up: The individual craves more sleep and takes more pills, which only leads to less satisfactory sleep and bhe need for more pills. The study of brain waves shows that sleep occurs in four stages, with the sleeper pass ing from one stage to the other in a distinct pattern through the night. Our minds are quite active during sleep; evident from the fact that we dream. Some dreams are pleas ant and some reflect our anx ieties, triggering physiologic responses that are manifested in a rise in blood pressure and pulse rate and an increase in the rate of respiration. Scientists can tell when an individual is dreaming by measuring his responses, a technique of great medical val ue. The physiologic responses may explain the occurence of The World Council of Churches in Geneva. The Communist controlled ‘ministers’ have been told that 'the Geneva Confer ence will certainly be the greatest ecumenical event in 1966’ and to thus prepare ac cordingly for ‘the study of the burning problems in the rapid ly changing world.’ Several specific propaganda themes which may be extended by the Communist ‘ministers’ at Ge- a heart attack or sudden death during sleep, for the individual may not be at complete rest at all. He may, in fact, be un dergoing marked physiologic- activity not readily apparent. An individual reaches the deepest, or delta, level of sleep after a half-hour.

Insomnia is an intriguing condition that means different things to different people. In somnia, authorities believe, is not the symptom of an under lying physical or emotional distress. Instead, it may sim ply be that the individual has failed to resolve his attitude toward sleep because of some underlying disturbance. Thus, a true insomniac may be fighting sleep because he is afraid to lose consciousness and continues to worry about his respnsibilities, working as hard at night as during the day. The first step in relieving insomnie is to convince the in dividual that sleep will not be destructive, or lead to a break down. He must understand the mechanisms of sleep, and rec ognize the tensions that have led to the difficulty. The indi vidual should learn that the best way to handle his problem is to do something constructive if he can’t sleep, and discover the sleep pattern most bene ficial to his physiologic needs.” I have seldom been a dream er, but during my three per iods in a hospital—about 18 weeks—I dreamed every night, usually going on long trips. I used to amuse my physician in the mornings with the account of my dream travel of the night before. I think my dreaming may have been due to sleeping on my back, as I was in bed with dislocated hip, shoulder, and two broken bones. My dreaming did not keep me awake. We are all highly individual istic and re-act differently. Engagement is announced Mr. and Mrs. Philip Thomas Kelly Jr .of Newberry, an nounce the engagement of their daughter, Margaret Evelyn to Roy Wayne Morrow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Campbell of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The bride-elect is an honor graduate of Newberry college with a B.S. degree in chemis try and at present is working toward a master’s degree in chemistry at the University of Tennessee. Mr. Morrow graduated from Murray State University with a B.S. degree in chemistry, phy sics, and mathematics and at present is working toward his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry at the University of Tennessee. neva: “The Those who were /jv<v'.Trfsorea or ormtea at cold war has come about through the crusading ideology of fanatical anti-Com- munism’ to which ‘hundreds of thousands were sacrificed in the last months.’ “ The inhuman war of the U. S. A. in Vietnam threatens by its escalation to spread over the whole of Southeast Asia.” “Terrible bloodshed and mass executions are going on under the slogan of anti-Com- munism.’ “The store of atomic weap- one is “so big that every living being in our planet may be killed several times ... no place on earth is safe against the bombs.’ Reds Seek To Use The Church “ ‘In spite of great efforts of the forces of peace no dis armament agreement has been reached . . . The first task of all men of good will (is) to do everything possible to prevent a third world war.’ “From the pattern of this, and a great deal more infor mation received from the Com munist ‘church’ sources (Mr. Philbrick says) it is clear that the Red delegates will attempt to portray the United States as the evil aggressor of the world; the Soviet Union as a ‘peace loving’ nation; and that they will further suggest that the solution should be a policy of appeasement toward Com munism on the part of the U. S. and the. free world coun tries.” This is just another reminder that the greatest fortress for freedom for mankind is the Church, and that the Commu nists are working to make it into an instrument to expand atheism! I quote from an excellent ar ticle in Modem Maturity: “ Second only to the Decla ration of Independence in the high regard with which it is held is the United States Con stitution. It has the superior sanction to the ordinary laws of the Ian* 1 and is subject to a gradua 1 *ocess of amend ment.' The ( itution is concise, and it* .ery brevity and its statement of principles have made possible a lattitude of interpretation, which have fos tered growth. In our Constitution, there are but seven articles and a Preamble; in all 21 amend ments have been adopted. The Preamble does not confer pow er but it has been of great importance because of th e weight that has been placed on i its first words, ‘We, the people of the United States.’ Another phrase, ‘to promote the gener al welfare’ has been used to uphold much recent social leg- Marriages - - - Jerry Howard Turner and Jacqueline Faye Woodall of Newberry were married Aug ust 8 at Newberry.

They developed from the wide-spread feeling that, unlike the majority of State constitutions, the Fed eral Constitution did not specifically guarantee individ ual liberties. These are not rights granted by the govern ment to the individual, but rights of the individual pro tected against possible en croachments by the govern ment. They guarantee: First Amendment: The free dom of worship, of speech, of the press, of assembly, and pe tition to the government for redress of grievances. Second Amendment: The right to bear arms—adopted with reference to State Mili tias. , Third Amendment: Freedom from the quartering of soldiers without the consent of the owner of the house.

Fifth Amendment: Guaran tees: no person shall be held for an infamous crime with out indictment be twice put in ‘jeopardy of life or limb’ for the same offense; be compelled to testify against himself, be deprived of life, liberty, or property ,without due process of law; private property may not be taken for public use, without just compensation. Sitxh Amendment: Guaran- its excessive bail and fines and ‘cruel and unusual’ punish ments. Ninth Amendment: ‘The en umeration in the constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or dispar age others retained by the peo ple.’ Such is our Bill of Rights, so liberal in provisions that, the newsprint tells us, it was re cently withdrawn from a pub lic bulletin board ,because of its highly controversial con tents and was permitted to be replaced only upon proof that iUis the law of the land! (Had the Founding Fathers known to what base purposes these safeguards have been convert ed, they would have perhaps added, also a Bill of Commen surate Responsibilities.) Such is the heritage we en joy! No matter what n(iay have been our family background of other nationalities, our ances- torte, for the most part, came here and helped build the U. S. A. because they valued free dom and with a disciplined courage and high purpose safe guarded their individual lib erty and gave respect to the rule of law.” Under the broad powers and equally broad lim itations this nation has grown great, rich and powerful. Un fortunately there is a marked trend to subvert the' Consti tution and substitute some of the very doubtful imaginings of would-be statesmen whose attitude and efforts are up rooting the great document for some feeble efforts of their own to achieve distinction.
