Who engineers our squander ing ? Who is at the source of the blundering even in giving? Who is to blame for shipping expensive machinery all over the world, even where the peo ple can’t use it? Beyond a doubt there is some recklessness which cries aloud for correction. Among many hits of useless spending, consider our military Bases in Britain; France, Asia. Hundreds of millions of dol lars. Then, too, why are we maintaining some military po sitions in South America? We could profitably reduce all our diplomatic groups every where and eall hack all other s [renders. I had a long distance call one morning about nine o’clock. Senator Rubin of Columbia had just read his copy of the Spectator and he was chival rous enough to speak appre ciatively to me, letting me know that he reads with appreciation, the Spectator as it comes every week to him. Ineidently I repeat that I’ve -aid so often, a Senator is an officer of the State, not of his county. Senator Rubin was interested as an officer of the State, not a.- Senator for or from Rich land county. As State Senator In- a- much a part of Char leston as he is of Richland county. Likewise the members of the House of Representatives are officer^ of the State, not of their respective counties. It is a common error that a State Senator represents h i s county in the Legislature for in reality he C part and parcel of tile officialdom of his state. The State Senators and Repre sentatives are paid by t h e >tate and are not higher offi cials of their respective coun ties. I.ikewi.-e mu two Senators ami eight Representatives in Congress are National (Feder al ) officials, paid By the Nat ional government out of the i'oderal treasury. 1 appreciated the eall from Senator Rubin; tie is evidently widt awake and knows that he :s a high and responsible of ficial of the -tate.

WILDMON Something unusual happened over in Zurich, Switzerland at a theatre. A man named Anton Sergeivitch Tartarov gave a piano concert. The billboards said Tartarov was a great Russian pianist, internationally known. And at the theatre he received a standing ovation and cheers and shouts for encores from the two thousand people present. This concert ended a little different than most of them do, however. When the crowd fin ished cheering and the impres ario stepped up to speak, he told those present that Tartarov was not really Tartarov, that there was no such person, that lie was not really Russian but Swiss, and to further compli cate matters that the numbers he had played were not the announced numbers of Beeth- oven, Prokofieff and Liszt but arrangements of the piano player who was named Jean- Jacques Hauser! Well, the crowd loved him just the same and still wanted the encore. He gave it to them and was glad to do it. The man who was responsible for the whole show told the people that hi* invented Tartarov to give Hauser an audience free of few Congressmen and tell them, because surely they must wish to know what this means. (T CHI. VIETNAM — Army Private First Class James W. Fant, 24, son of Harvie Fant, of Newberry, was assigned as a light weapons infantryman with the 25th Infantry Divis ion near Cu Chi, May 24. Pvt. Fant’s wife, Willie, lives at Newark, N. J. prejudices. The story is uncommon, but it shouldn’t be. It should be an everyday experience. You see, most of us who think we are common people have some un common talent that we can do well—sometimes better than anybody else in the whole world! And that brings us around to the Galilean. He brought out the greatness in common man. Someone has said that is what got Him placed on that Cross. But He accepted men free of prejudice that we so often have. He lifted the common man, made him important, even made him great—as a servant. If you are wondering why the Galiliean did this you must ivmember that He was Him self a “common man.” He was a carpenter; He made things with his hands. Judging by other evidence, He took pride in His work and people appre ciated His craftsmanship. And look at the close followers He selected. Everyone of them wore common people! One day, however, this Car penter laid down the tools with which he worked on wood and picked up the tools with which He worked on the hearts of men. He went to the common man,, spoke a message they “heard gladly,” put hope and desire and ambition and love in the heart of the common man. And they haven’t been the same since. The crowd found that even an "unknown” can have great ness. This is exactly what the Galilean Carpenter has been teaching since the earth start ed spinning.
