T> w LVviE bv PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER I, 1966 THE GOP IS DEAD By John J. Synon Once or twice, I have made the point that the Republicans never again will elect a presi dent. Representatives, yes; Senators, a few. But a Presi dent; never again. Whenever I broach my be lief, sure as shooting, some rogue elephant trumpets his : dissent. 1 Well, let him blow. It isn’t \ my fault. He and his did it. I didn’t. ! The principal reason for the demise of the GOP, as I see it, lies in its cowardice. Instead of standing for what it knew— once knew-i-to be right and await the wind of change, it tempted the truth with ex pediency and what it has left is^ a bfg, fat nothing. The Re publican party, as a national force, today, is without princi ple, without honor. It is with- iruiy A Dutch Treat * ■■ ■ m • < ; 7- v ' iMmmm m '' 'i f mrnmmm llspPfStv' ^ yimtW'jfr: ■izp&tsi ■. £&&&# v ■XxdXKX* ..... .. .. : m- Saw 'rmiuiiuw* Some children like Dutch chocolate hot, some like it cold. All are delighted, though, to go Dutch for a party. Celebrate junior's next birth day, suggests the Borden Kitch en, with dairy-fresh Dutch chocolate, poured right from container to cup, then crowned with the coolness of whipped heavy cream or a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Cooks who'd like to customize can do so by heating one quart of the beverage. As the choco late warms over low heat, stir in one of the following fla vorings: one tablespoon of dark molasses; one tablespoon (dry form) of Borden's Instant Cof fee ; or one-half teaspoon of either peppermint or almond extract. Their appealing aroma complements that of the hot chocolate. Pour into sturdy but pretty punch cups or mugs. Cap each cup with a mound of whipped instant nonfat dry milk or heavy cream. But going Dutch means more than something to drink. Dairy- fresh Dutch chocolate is a dra matic stand-in for unflavored wifflr in a dozen dinhns ^Vw, puddings and frosting*, as a ^ustard-like flllfag in tarts* pies, eclairs and Napoleons, anywhere in fact that a delicate chocolate flavor’s in favor. out a philosophy of its own, in tandem with the Democratic party in its fatal spin around the great emancipator, Social ism. The only difference be tween the two has come to be a relative difference, their dis tance from the burner. The Republicans say they can do “it” better, that’s all. Do what better? Administer “benefits” better? What a claim to lay upon free men. So, I sit and hope, and await a leader. Wind of Change What the Republicans forgot, as I imply, was the wind of change. That wind is now blowing and its force is playing hob with the Democratic party. I would venture a guess, not five per cent of the White resisters to forced integration, there in Chicago, not five per cent think of themselves as Republicans; not three per cent. And there are untold numbers of others such Democrats who are, sym bolically, beside those angered, frightened White people; the Democrats of Brooklyn, of Lansing, of Boston, of Los An geles, of Omaha, of Philadel phia, and elsewhere. Something, all of a sudden, has become more important to them than “benefits.” And where is the Republican party, now that harvest time is here ? As I say, on the slab. Why? Because the Republi can party has no courage, that is why. That is why it died. It couldn’t stand the gaff. It can’t today. It has less courage in the face of today’s issue than it had in confronting yester day’s issue. The New Issue And what is the issue? Prop erly put, it is not race at all but the right of self determi nation, the essence of personal liberty, the anti-thesis of Soc- , ialism. Thus, the resuscitating brass ring gees right past the ele phant’s trunk. So be it. But that does not mean op position is not building. It is building. It is growing, pon derous, rolling opposition aw r - aiting a leader, a catalyst to bring our troubles into proper perspective. Not on the race front, alone. Race is but the symptom. Our house is rattling apart. We have, as Hitler claimed, grown decadent. How decadent is the only unanswered question. Such is the legacy of our po litical partief, of our vaunted democracy. They are the guil ty, the Socialist Democrats who inspired our decline and the Liberal Republicans who turn ed tail. So it is: The Democrats are foundering and there is no leader to snatch up the Amer ican banner. Let the rogue trumpet. It is the truth: The Republican par ty is dead.

There’* no question, that portable TV will be a major gift for the hoide this Ohristmas. It is estimated that over 6,000,000 of these xhO^e-about sets will be purchased this year, about 32% of them dtt*u% the holiday buying season. According to Zeniut Radio Corporation, the trend is to the larger screen portables. This particular manufacturer offers portables in 12-inch, 16- inch, 19-inch and 21-inch (overall diagonal measurement) sizes. To help you choose the best size for your family, here, are some tips: If your regular family set has a large picture, you will probably prefer a TV with a screen nearer the size of the one m your big set. If the portable is to be used mainly by n small audience, or in a small room, chances are the smaller set- will do the trick. If the set is to be moved about frequently* from room to room, a smaller portable may again be the answer. The larger size is best when: a) you use it in a large room; b) it gets almost as much use as your big set; c) you prefer watch* ing a big picture. ^ BACK-TO-SCHOOL HEADQUARTERS • BOOK BAGS All Leather — Extra Large Regular $6.75 - $5.95 - $4.95 In a Variety of Colors • ARMY KNAPSACK BAGS $2.98 - $3.29 • RUBBERIZED BAGS In Bright Colors $1.25 - $3.50 • GENERAL SUPPLIES PENS - PENCILS - COMPOSITION BOOKS BLUE HORSE FILLERS - GLUE - CRAYONS CONSTRUCTION PAPER People’s Book Store mu Teachers...
