Always A Color Cartoon
BY THE WAY
(Continued from page 1)
It is a sort of luxurious liv
ing room arithmetic for pro-
Nixon strategists to assume
that IF all the voters support
ing Wallace would join all the
voters supporting Nixon, every
thing would come up roses for
Nixon. This is dangerous iffy-
ism. The history of 1964 coun
sels that IF a bullfrog had
wings, there wouldn’t be so
much wear and tear on his
posterior.
In fact, the latest polls lend
support to the proposition that
it may be Mr. Wallace — and
neither Nixon nor Humphrey—
who will carry North Carolina.
Labor union leaders in all of
the industrial states, north
and mid-west, are concerned
that Mr. Wallace may run no
WORSE than second—and that
Mr. Humphrey will run no bet
ter than second—in those piv
otal states. The union leaders
plan a multi-million dollar
drive to reverse the present
trend, and deliver the union
vote to Mr. Humphrey. And
that means just one thing: The
working man in America looks
with disfavor upon Humphrey,
yet may not be willing to vote
for Nixon, but he’s anxious to
vote for Wallace. And those are
normally Democratic votes!
It seems to us, then, that
Richard Nixon’s best hope of
making certain that Humphrey
is not the next President of
the United States lies in the
sunport that George Wallace
will receive from citizens not
yet demonstrably willing to
vote for either Nixon or Hum
phrey—but who are obviously
enthusiastic about giving their
support to a clear-cut alterna-
ive. Which proves, we think,
that a vote for Wallace is a
vote for Wallace—and that sev
eral million people have been
yearning to say, in the clearest
possible way, that they are fed
up.
Agree with them or not, that
will be their message when
they cast their ballot of wil-
1. .gness to “let George do it.”
nd regardless of who is to be
our next President, he’d better
attentive to It.
Election is
subject of
UDC meeting
Drayton Rutherford Chapter
of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy met at the home
of Mrs. W. E. Shealy on Fri
day, October 1st. Mrs. A. J.
Briggs was associate hostess.
The president, Mrs. Ralph B.
Baker, presided. Mrs. W. E.
Shealy, chaplain, led the rit
ual.
Mrs. Ralph B. Baker gave a
most interesting program on
excerpts from “A Christian
Looks at the Coming Election”
by Dr. Samuel A. Jeans.
“May Almighty God give us
the courage to stand against
the lethargy—the wisdom to
meet our destiny squarely with
out equivocation, doubting our
doubts and believing our be
liefs.”
As we look toward the com
ing election, let us consider
what is involved in them, where
we stand as a nation in our
little niche of history, and
where we are going. The price
less heritage of the franchise
belongs to every Christian Am
erican. It should be accepted
and used. Let us thank God for
the right of voting for our pub
lic officials for there are many
places in the world where this
is not so. Christians should be
come more acquainted with the
facts of our wonderful herit
age as a nation. We have been
drifting farther and father
away from sanity, ethics, and
from true Americanism. It will
take an intelligent and prayer
ful electorate to bring us back.
Never forget that ignorance
breeds bad government. Even
though intelligent and inform
ed people are best qualified to
vote, remember that uninform
ed people also vote and their
votes count just as much.
November 1968 and the Nat
ional Election is not far away.
Our nation is not quite 200
years old, to be exact we are
just 192 years old. As young
as we are as a nation, there
are those who are beginning
to detect growing evidence of
those maladies which Gibbon,
the eminent historian, pointed
to as contributing factors to
the decline and fall of the Ro
man empire. Rome was des
troyed by its enemies from
within rather than by its ene
mies without. Some of these
same enemies are eating away
like termites at the very found
ations of our land.
Consider how the family, the
oldest institution ordained by
God is being undermined in
America. Gibbon tells us that
another thing that helped to
destroy Rome was the levying
of higher and higher taxes,
many of which were used to
provide free bread and free
circlses to entertain the peo
ple. Keep your ears tuned to
what the Presidential standard
bearers will be saying about
this.
There is now a concerted
drive going on to enact a guar
anteed annual income. Litera
ture to promote this is being
nrinted and circulated by var
ious denominational bodies. Of
course there are cases of need
that Christians can never ig
nore. However, there is an old
fashioned word called WORK
that needs to be emphasized in
today’s so-called Great Society.
We have, a right to look with
concern and censure upon
those who are indolent and
lazy and who refuse to work.
The craze for pleasure was
another factor in the decline
and fall of the Roman empire.
When the Congress of the U.
S. passed the Monday Holiday
Bill (members of the Senate
voting by voice vote so that
they were not recorded) and
the President signed it, some
people were hearing more
clearly the ring of the cash
register of pleasure and pro
fit than they were hearing the
ring of the church bells that
continue to remind us that
“Blessed is the nation whose
God is the Lord, but sin is a
reproach to any people.” Who
really wanted the Monday Hol
iday Bill passed? The National
Association of Travel Organi
zations with offices in Wash
ington wanted it. The South
ern Baptist Convention, the
Lord s Day Alliance of the U.
S raised its voice against this
measure with good reason. In
its resolution the National So
ciety Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution protested the
downgrading of our National
Holidays and Heroes and has
denounced the regimentation of
our National Holidays. Many
other groups and organizations
stood silently by and did no
thing.
The building of gigantic
armaments to protect the em
pire from without, when the
real enemies were within, is
another reason cited for the
decline and fall of Rome. Cer
tainly, we are spending money
to protect America from our
enemies on the outside, and we
do have them. However, we are
coddling and protecting with
every piece of legal machinery
that can be twisted to their de
fense, our enemies within. The
General Board of the National
Council of Churches which ear
ly in June lashfd out against
the use of violence in Vietnam,
also adopted a resolution on
Civil Disobedience at home
which says in part, “We rec
ognize that when justice can
not be secured either through
action within existing struc
tures of through civil disobed
ience, an increasing number of

Essay contest
winners named
This year’s Fire Prevention
Contest on “ Safety in the
Home” has been termed a
great success by Fire Preven
tion officials.
The contest was for students
in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades
of all county schools. Winners
in each of the schools are as
follows:
Park Street: Mary Martha
Blersoe.
Garmany: Beudelle Wicker,
Bettv Joe Young.
Rikard: Alfreda M. Grier,
Curtis Bates, Lorraine Counts,
Dorothy Faye Glasgow, France.^
Ann Brown, Barbara Brown.
Sneer Street: Jimmy Parr,
Kelly Ann Gordon, Billy Fun-
Christians may feel called to
seek justice through resistance
or revolution.” That was adopt
ed by a vote of 81 to 6, but
they were speaking for many
of us when they issued that
statement whether we believe
in it or not. Watch what the
candidates have to say about
that issue.
. The decay of religion was
another factor that contributed
to the fall of Rome Recently
the F. B. I. announced a 17
percent increase in crime. Div
orce is steadily rising as well
as other things which indicate
that our religion in America
is not touching the morality of
the people.
Certainly, our citizens should
be protected from death by
guns, but don’t we deserve any
protection from death by
drunken drivers on our high
ways? Four times as many
people were killed by drinking
drivers as were killed by men
w : th guns at their heads. What
candidate will have something
to say about the need for heav
ier fines and for mandatory
prison sentences for those who
insist upon their right to
drive when they are under the
influence of alcoholic bever
ages to the jeopardy of their
neighbor?
Recently, Senator Frank
Carlson who has for 34 years
as governor, a congressman,
and a United Statess Senator,
spoke to a prayer group on
the subject—WANTED: a MAN
WHO WILL STAND.
He turned their attention to
the words of the Lord found in
Ezekiel 22:30 which say, “And
I sought for a man who would
build up the wall and stand in
the breech before the Lord,
that I should not destroy it.”
God is searching for a man.
Yes, for men and women, too,
who will stand in the breech
that our nation might not be
destroyed. God needs unique
men—saved men—men who are
overflowing with the Holy
Spirit of Power. God needs
men like that and America
needs them too.
Mrs. W. E. Shealy closed
the meeting with prayer.
A social hour was enjoyed
during which delightful refresh
ments were served.
