THURSDAY, SEPTEMER 15, 1966 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAUUJ TriKEilS Looking A. bead \ ... by Dr. G«'jrg« $. Btnton PRESIDENT-NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM S««rqr. Ark«itMs WE CANNOT BE DEPENDENT & FREE When the United States Government was founded nearly 200 years ago it became in instrument through which free peo ple were protected in their pursuit of prosperity and happiness. This still is the properfunction of Government in a free country. Socialists of all varieties have attempted without suc cess—until now—to add another purpose of Govern ment: guaranteeing thecitizen from economic want. Government in a free country cannot do this. History and logic forewarns us of this fact. Until the early years of this century the incompetent and incapacitated poor of America were the problems of their more fortunate fellow man—in the churches, the neighborhoods, the communities of the nation. In such openly, recognized charity there was no incentive to achieve residency in the “Poor House’”. It worked the other way—as an incentive to spur the poor toward •efforts to achieve competence and capability. Charity Through Compulsion Demagogic politicians, posing as saviors of the “‘downtrodden,” transformed charity from a voluntary to a compulsory act. This, alas, put it into the hands of politicians. Governmental “welfare” programs began first as a local government responsibility, locally-fin anced. Then, as charity-through-taxation became es tablished, it moved up to the county, then the State, and finally to the present “federal-state” level of ad ministration—to become known as “The Welfare Sys tem’.’ The federal bureaucracy has all but eliminated the “state” voice in the “federal state” set up, though the money comes from the taxpayers of the states. In the beginning the Sociologist promoted the “wel fare” program as a war on poverty; yet their profes sional colleagues of today consider that poverty has expanded not (contracted) and now blights almost a fourth of the population! On this basis they join with the Socialists to call for the full “Welfare State” with Government guaranteed “annual mimimum income.” Grab For More Power Along with federalization of mimimum wages, “un employment” insurance, the entire nationwide employ ment system (private and governmental), and over riding federal control of all taxation—all proposals con tained in present bills in Congress—the governmental- g’uaranteed income would just about transform our Government into State Socialism. All that would be needed would be absodute control of job assignments, production quotas, wages and prices. (A bill presently in Congress reaches far toward Government job as signment.) If our government were to assume the responsibility of a guaranteed income (requiring $20-$50-$100 bil lions, and more) it would quickly require control of em ployment, production, and marketing. Such a develop ment may seem fantastic to contemplate. Yet the President of the United States, the Justice Department and the full powers of the Executive Department of the Federal government today are pushing legislation to take away from all citizens one of the most fundamen tal of all human rights—the right of property. The “‘Open Housing” Title IV of the President’s new “Civil Rights” legislation would impose Government control over the sale of our homes. Aiding the poor and the unfortunate is one of the ;great challenges of our Judaic-Christian civilization: “Tf there be among you a poor man . . . thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother . . . and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need ...” (Dueteronomy 15:7-8). But there remains a big question, whether this challenge can best be served through the political entity of Government, im personal and so often graft-ridden. The sorry record of political administration merely emphasizes this ques tion. But the real danger is not in a governmental system of succoring the poor. The real danger is the expanding reach of this kind of Governmental power. “Its effects are visible on every hand,” warns a big Midwestern newspaper, “and have given impetus to a rising in sistence on the fulfillment of ‘rights’ which only yes terday were not regarded as rights at all—particularly rights to be assuaged by the federal government thru resort to its taxing other coercive powers over citizens in general.” No people, no nation can be dependent and free; and we mustn’t let this fact go unheeded.

They usually start with a calf from the farm herd or a calf they have purchased with money earned from 4-H projects. A visit to the 4-H division of the fair and a talk with the 4-H’ers will reveal that they have not only worked hard to make the main event, but have learned a lot in the process. Preparing an animal for the show ring, they say, takes a lot of skill, time and patience. The 4-H dairy project also is the training ground for cattle judges. Club members making file judging team travel to county and state fairs and to the large regional and national shows as welL Their achievements do not go unrecognized. This year nearly two thirds of all the counties in the UJS. are ex pected to name some 6,000 medal winners, says the Na tional 4-H Service Committee. The medals, plus state and na tional awards will be provided for the 10th straight year by the Oliver Corporation, sponsor of the national 4-H Dairy pro gram. All winners are chosen by the Cooperative Extension Service which supervises 4-H work. ^5, mostly for MEN By Jim Barnes—Sptcial Interest Editor Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation w* Maintain Your Boat Some 40 million Americans now participate In boating of one kind or another, making this one of the nation’s fastest- growing pastimes. To keep pace with this boom, boat makers are flooding the market with a Q- large variety of new products designed to enlarge our enjoy ment of boating, cruising and related water sports. For the good old - fashioned boating enthu siast, however, a large part of this pastime consists of maintenance and repair work. For example, each spring, when it’s time to take the “fleet” out of mothballs, there are lots of little jobs to be done: check ing the hull and bilge for evi dence of rotting, repairing or replacing rotting or water- soaked sections, painting, clean ing, motor tune-up, and so on. But anyone who enjoys boating doesn’t really regard this as work. In fact, painting, scrap ing, sanding and scouring are all part of the romance of boat ing. One of the trouble spots which can easily be overlooked on a boat is the metal fittings which so often prove trouble some where maintenance is concerned. Not only are pits and corrosions unsightly but they can spell trouble' in the future. It’s important, for ex ample, that instruments are adequately protected against spray (whether salt or fresh water), as well as rain and other hazards. A conscientious boatman will keep a sharp eye on his metal fittings because he knows that in the boating world bright hardware is regarded as a mark of the expert. Nothing gives the amateur away faster than shabby metalwork aboard. Pen Print-el's Writing is almost as aid as languago itself. Earliest man first used pictures, then phonet ic alphabets to com municate his thoughts. Stono r .ciay, bark and skins served as his “paper.” To write on soft surfacos ho fash ioned “pens” of rushes and reeds. Pen points* made of flno hairs were introduced by the Chinese ^ about 1500 B. C. and are still used by calligraphers and Jap anese “Sumi-ists" today. Such “Soft-tipped” writing is so flow ing and smooth that Parker Pen has now davoloped a now po- — rous tipped pen called “Touche.” *** Because it provides the greatest writing ease and the boldest looking signatures, many important names are signed with a soft- point pen. Pie side ■! Johnson uses them by the dozen to sign bills into law. Then be gives them away qs c.e voted souvenirs. ^ If you’re lucky you may find a two-year guarantee on these fittings when supplied with a new boat or bought later as replacements*. But most metal parts begin to pit or corrode after a year of normal use. In any case the chances «re you’re going to think of replacing some of these fittings sooner or later. If so, here’s a point to remember when buying re placements: Stainless steel serves you best in the long run because it will outlast other metals. Stainless steel resists rnst and corrosion and is chip- proof. Dollar for dollar you can’t beat it, especially on a boat, where constant exposure to the elements is routine. But stainless steel metal parts are ideal for use on a boat for other reasons as well. Not only is it easy to main tain, but according to Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation, a major producer, stainless steel tends to clean itself in outdoor applications. Such things as garden tools, for example, get clean in the rain if you don’t put them away. What could be more suitable -than stainless steel on a boat, where you don’t even have to wait for a rain storm? So when you find yourself in need of new metal hardware, consider stainless steel. Here are a few of the stainless steel products currently available: anchors and anchor shackles, boat hooks, lights, eyes, rails, brackets, cleats, marine fast eners, ladders, mooring bitts and pendants, oar locks, pul leys, rigging, shackles, sockets, terminals and tiller fittings.
