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 Report from Fire department By Lewis B.

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. derliwick, Cindy Brown, Trent Purcell, Dan Thomas, Bobby Livingston, Louis Hughes.
