COMMENT
on
Men & Things
Bv J. K. BREEDIN
As to the Republicans: times
surely have changed. Most of
us were taught to think badly
of Republicans, blaming them
for many things. What a change
has come over the world! Never
would I have thought that we
would have to hope for im
provement by the Republican
party.
So you see, Wade Hampton
is nearer to the Republican par
ty than to the Democratic par
ty today. Ask your grandfather
about that too. I am not a pol
itician; what I wish above all
else is to see my country re
stored to sanity and sound gov
ernment.

Spectator has missed a great
deal in those eight weeks he
has been out of circulation;
and it seems from the daily re
ports to him brought to his
bed by five daily papers that
the outstanding news of the
day is a general confusion.
Almost no one has a clear
idea of what the National Dem
ocratic party is using as an
appeal for support.
If we judge the party by the
record of the recent 8 years
it might seem that it bases its
hopes on free groceries and
the upsetting of the schools of
the nation.
We read every day of riots in
almost every part of the na
tion. We also read that the
little American ship Pueblo
which was seized by the North
Koreans is still there, whether
on the surface or not.
What do the other nations
of the world think of us? What
do we ourselves think?
I am a man of peace but I
wonder, even I wonder, about
our course which seems, to be
one of utter weakness.
Now as to Vietnam: there
is no war over there; we have
been assured of that but we
must wonder how many men
must die; how many billions be
spent; how many planes des
troyed in order for this to be
a war.
We do not know—does any
one know what we will ever
gain by victory?
I do not mention again the
disturbance over the Panama
Canal. I am afraid whatever
course we take wdll be one of
weakness.
Just where do we stand in
S. C? Are we loyal to Wade
Hampton or have we forgotten
him? Did your grandfather
ever speak to you about Wade
Hampton?
One of the serious objections
to the present Democratic ad
ministration is it meddling with
the public schools. I repeat
what I have said often, I know
of no section pf the Constitu
tion that permits federal med
dling; and I cite the 9th and
10th amendments to the Con
stitution. I do not quote those ing in j anuary 19e9f j. H .

Payments have been made
quarterly in the past, but the
long period between payments
often caused a hardship for
both the trainee and flight
school operator.
The new payment system
was authorized by Public Law
90-631, signed by the president
last month.
The law, which contained
several other provisions on vet
erans benefits, became effective
December 1, 1968, but since
payments for educational as
sistance are made at the end
of the month, the first checks
in the new program will be
received in January.
The system of monthly pay

Stuffed animals are “in” on
the nation’s campuses this year.
Besides their size, what makes
them big? They’re a light and

the strategy is perfect. After all,
what girl would break off with a

While pink elephants and purple
bulls are popular, psychedelic

the new things this year. Non
