Wessinger City • BY-THE-WAY (Continued from page 1) war in Vietnam is actually a remote-control conflict being conducted by the Russians a- gainst the United States. Yet Lyndon Johnson, and report edly a sufficient majority of the members of the United States Senate, beckon for more communist Trojan Horses in our midst. They are not “build ing bridges of friendship” to Russia, they are volunteering to have us walk the plank to disaster. Meanwhile, at home, the con tradictions extend to our nat ional attitude towards crime. The U. S. Supreme Court con tinues to tie the hands of law enforcement officers with re quirements that criminals be coddled. The taxpayers, mean while, are required to finance foolish and unworkable give away programs intended to bribe citizens to obey the law. People are paid not to work, and then all society is blamed when the idle decide to riot and pillage. Then the political merry-go-round spins off a multi-million dollar federal pro gram supposedly to fight crime. The “little man” back home can hardly be blamed if he fails to understand this cur ious exhibition of the federal dog chasing its own tail. What has happened to the sanity of the Senate ? The Senators are in the best posi tion of all to understand the history of communism and its treacherous methods. And cer tainly the Senators, living and working as they do in the Na tion’s capital, are bound to know about the crime being committed under their noses. Why has there been no con certed action to reject Lyndon Johnson’s dangerous treaty with the communists, or to rebuff the Supreme Court’s fuzzy notions about criminals at home? Crime in Washington last month was 42.4 per cent high er than in January a year ago. Rapes, murders and deadly as saults are so commonplace in Washington that the rape of a young church secretary rated only four short paragraphs on an inside page of The Washing ton Post last week. The crime was committed by a Negro who walked boldly into the church while the young woman was at work. There is an inescapable re lationship between appeasing communism abroad while cod dling criminals at home. In each, the question of the sur vival of civilization is raised. The President, the Congress and the Supreme Court all need to get their sense of values ad justed. Otherwise history will one day record that while they were mumbling their platitudes and sophisticated nonsense, they threw the baby out with the bath water. If they want to preserve America—and free- don—they’d better get to it.

Fire destroys switch gears at Ocoma plant By Mrs. A. H. Counts Fire destroyed four large el ectrical switch gears valued at an estimated $60,000 at the Ocoma Turkey processing plant under construction about a mile west of the city limits here at 11:30 a.m. Friday. Plant manager F. Gerald Manemann said the electrical switches were packed in ship ping crates and stored in a large concrete room at the plant. Manneman estimated about $60,000 damage from smoke to the room and destruction of the new electrical equipment. He said the fire will not delay opening date of the new plant, scheduled in April. Jack H. Koon, foreman of the construction crew working at the plant, spotted smoke pouring from the room and summoned firemen. Cause of the blaze was not determined. Firemen extinguished the fire in about 10 minutes after locating the source in the hea vy smoke. The Newberry City Fire De partment, the Newberry Friendly Fire Department and the Bush River Fire Depart ment dispatched five trucks to the plant. Mrs. Riley's father dies Johnny Ralph McCullough, father of Mrs. J. A. Riley of Newberry, died Thursday of a heart attack on the job in Au gusta. He was a construction foreman for Satterfield Con struction Co., Greenwood. Funeral services were held Sunday at Lexington Baptist Church. Burial was in West Creek Baptist church cemetery all Batesburg. Griffm gets postal award for suggestion Postmaster Harry E. Moose announced today a cash award of $55 to Rural Carrier Griffin Langford for submitting a sug gestion for improving postal efficiency which has been ad opted nation-wide. Mr. Lang ford is carrier on rural route four from the Newberry post office. With the steady increase in the number of rural patrons, rural carriers have been re quired to use two or more one- inch binders in maintaining an up-to-date roster of patrons on their routes. By using a three-inch binder, Mr. Lang ford reasoned that the com plete rosters could be contained in just one book, therefore, as a result of his suggestion, the Postoffice Department has made available to all rural car riers a larger binder which eliminates the need at the present for more than one book. The cost of the one binder is less than two or three of the smaller ones and in addition, it is more con venient for rural carriers to consult only one directory in stead of two or more. Mr. Langford’s award was based on the time saved to gether with the costs saved to the Postoffice Department.
