shots in Vietnam, and in Cam
bodia and Laos. It is selecting
the battlefields, and too often
dictating the terms on which
the United States shall fight.
Meanwhile, in our own country
men cry peace when there is
no peace, nor any hope of it
so long as we continue to op
erate precisely as the commun
ists hope we will.
There are powerful forces in
American leadership who pro
fess to believe that there is
no commuiiist conspiracy, that
there are both “good” com
munists and “bad” communists
Yet the communist blueprint
for world domination has
made clear the scheme of strat
egy for dropping the net of
tyranny over the world. It is
time we decided, for once and
all, that communism will not
be defeated, nor even contained,
by a war of words—or by a
no-win war in Vietnam, or Ko
rea, or anywhere else.
Nor is this any time to
contemplate the possibility of
“escalation.” The communists
settled that when they seized
The Pueblo. The escalation has
already taken place.
Now only one question re
mains: When, if ever, will Am
erica return to her stout-heart
edness of yesteryear? What
will happen, if we do not, is
obvious. A fellow named Teddy
Roosevelt prescribed the form
ula a long time ago. It is not
difficult to imagine that he
would have USED that big
stick under such provocation as
we have experienced and, in
doing so, would have done
more for peace than a hundred
years of United Nations mouth
ing. But, then, Teddy Roosevelt
understood the nature of tyr
anny, and what to do about it.

Crumpton-
Morris rites at
Bachman church
Miss Cynthia Dianne Crump
ton and Mr. James Earl Mor
ris, both of Prosperity, were
united in marriage by the Rev.
William H. Link in Bachman
Chapel Lutheran church, Pros
perity on January 15 at 7:30
p.m., in a sweet, simple, very
lovely ceremony which was wit
nessed by a small group of the
families and friends. Dianne is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. D. Crumpton. James Earl is
the son of Mrs. Myrtle Morris
and the late Dudley Morgan
Morris.
The bride was radiantly love
ly in a pale pink floor-length
gown, the waist of which was
encircled by a garland of daisy
appliques. She wore pink satin
shoes and a very becoming
headpiece with shoulder-length
veil to match her gown.
The church was beautifully
decorated with white altar flow
ers complemented by a seven-
branched candelabra on either
side of the chancel. On the nave
level a graceful palm marked
each side of the. entrance to
the chancel. Richard Crumpton,
brother of the bride, lit the
candles. There were no attend
ants and the young couple came
into the church together to the
traditional “Wedding March.”
A musical arrangement of the
Lord’s Prayer was played at
the time of prayers in the ser
vice and the recessional was a
special arrangement of “O Per
fect Love.” Dianne and James
Earl left the church in a flurry
of ice and rice as those gather
ed at the church door for the
“ send-off. ”
Mr. and Mrs. Morris will be
making their home with the
groom’s mother in the Honey
Hill section of Prosperity.

are underway for the largest
shopping center in the south-
the promotional group, but a
cast to be established at the
intersection of 1-20 and 1-26
near Columbia, and that only 30
minutes driving time is needed
to get to this center. He point
ed out, that Newberry must
plan to make the city more at
tractive to shoppers to encour
age them to patronize local
businesses.
Mrs. Clara Wertz outlined
plans for a Spring Festival pro
motion April 1 to 13. She urged
merchants to offer outstanding
bargains to attract shoppers
during the event. Cash prizes
will be offered each week in
addition to prizes of merchan
dise in individual stores. Mrs.
Wertz stated that music will
also be furnished in connection
with the awarding of cash
prizes.
During the promotion various
businesses will participate in
displaying work of local art
and handicraft, she said.

Letter To Editor
Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter in an
swer to an editorial which ap
peared recently in the Newberry
Observer concerning the elec
tion of County Board of Educa
tion members. I suppose I could
write this in the form of an
editorial but think it better this
way as I am concerned as a
member of the County Board of
Education and writing the letter
above my own signature.
I am concerned because as a
member of the board I am
among those responsible for the
decision of electing four mem
bers in the forthcoming election
and appointing three to serve
on the Board that sees to the
operation of the schools of
Newberry county. I voted for
this plan and am sure it is the
best plan for the continued
smooth operation of our county
school system.
I feel that by electing all
seven members of the Board it
would be possible to strip the
Board of its entire membership.
I exclude myself as I say, we
have a very fine Board of Ed
ucation that has only the
interest of Newberry county
schools at heart, and this group
can represent the county just
as effectively with the appoint
ed three and elected four mem
bers. It has done so all of
these many years. Why all of
a sudden are appointed mem
bers less efficient than those
elected ?
I know of no large business,
corporation, or organization
that does not provide for con
tinuity of stability by guaran
teeing that certain vice presi
dents, trustees or directors be
moved up or rotated on a stag
gered basis. This is an unani
mously accepted practice and
we should guarantee our teach
ers and educators that there
will not be a revolutionary
overthrow in our educational
processes of Newberry county.
I feel that our teachers are
certainly entitled to this type
of guarantee.
It seems that one of your
reasons for the election of the
full Board is due to the fact
that the new bill governing the
county Board of Education
states that this Board will have
the power to increase up to a
4 mill tax increase. I assume
that you feel that the people
will not be well represented.
WHY NOT? Serving on the
Board will be two members
from District 1 and two mem
bers from District 2 that will
be elected by the people. And
for the appointed, I am sure
the delegation or County Board
of Commissioners will * name
three that will be just as ded
icated, qualified and interested
in the rights of all the people
of the county.
I for one am not looking for
an appointment on the Board
and no one has to tell me that
1 will have to run for the office
as your editorial stated.
County Demos
to organize
Pinckney N. Abrams, chair
man of the Newberry County
Democratic party, has called
for the re-organization of New
berry County Democratic clubs
on Saturday afternoon, Febru
ary 24 at 3:00 p.m. to prepare
for the upcoming primary.
The county convention will
meet Monday, March 4, at the
Newberry Community Hall to
elect officers and delegates to
the state convention.
Chairman Abrams said it is
necessary for each precinct to
elect a president, vice presid
ent, secretary, treasurer, exe
cutive committeeman and dele
gates to the county convention.
Each club is entitled to one del
egate for each 25 votes or
majority thereof as cast in the
first primary held in 1966. A
list of the number of delegates
to which each precinct is en
titled is carried elsewhere in
this issue in a Notice of Re-or-
ganization.
I do intend to run in the
Primary—for several reasons. I
was asked to serve as an ap
pointed member and have done
my best to serve my county and
community. I feel that I can
continue to be of service to
the Board and if it takes
running to get there, I’ll sure
make a stab at it.
I sumbit that the County
Board of Education has done a
splendid job and will continue
to do so with three appointed
and four elected members.
Sincerely,
WILLIAM C. ARMFIELD
