Neue Zur- cher Zeitung. “On the basis of observations gathered during mv years in exile.” said I.enin, “the ‘cultured’ class of the capitalist countries of Western Hurope and America, i.e., die ruling classes, the financial aristocracv, the bourgeoisie and the idealistic democrats, should be regarded as deaf- mutes and treated according Iv. . . “ I he\ will grant us credits which will fill the coffers of die communist organizations in their countries, while they en large and improve our arma ments industry by supplying all kinds of wares, which we shall need for future attack against our suppliers.” Yes, from the great bird itself (m the Aesop fable) have* come the feathers to detch the arrow being made to pierce the eagle’s heart!

Spend Christmas with BankAmericard... the credit card for everything. South Carolina BankAmericard There was this young boy once. He loved to draw. He would take his pencil and a piece of paper and he would draw anything around him that caught his fancy. Once that young boy was asked to draw a picture of a horse by an elderly gentleman. When he had finished with the drawing the gentleman was so pleased with the boy’s work that he gave him a whole dollar! And that was back when a dollar was a dollar. That seemed to spur the youngster on. He kept drawing. He worked at it. He loved it. He gave himself to it. Soon he had landed himself a job with a newspaper as a cartoonist. He was real proud of himself when he got that job. But while he thought it was something to get excited about, one of his superiors didn’t see it that way. The editor of the paper where he worked in Kansas City called him in one day. He said he wanted to talk to the young man about his future. Being quite frank with the young car toonist about his job and his future, he said to him: “You don’t have any talent. Why don’t you get out of the drawing business and into something where you have a chance to succeed ?’’ Well, the young fellow thought it over. Gave some serious considera tion to doing just that, quitting his drawing and going into another line of business. For he did want to be a success. And the editor should know about talent. But after considerable thought, he decided to stay in the drawing business even if he didn’t “have any talent.’’ You will find people like that occa sionally. People who won’t quit, peo ple who won’t give up even if others think they are doomed to failure. No one has ever found the magic formula that separates those who refuse to quit from those who give up at the first setback. A lot of time, how ever, it can be nothing more than the spirit of the Creator driving them on. For sometimes there is not a single person in this whole world who be lieves in us other than Him. That’s one of His traits. He believes in us even when no one else does. He believes in us even when we don’t be lieve in ourselves. That’s what made Him face that ugly cross. He believed in our goodness when we displayed our sinfulness. He never gave up on us. He still is counting on us to this very day. He is disappointed a lot of times, but He never gives up. When everyone else has counted us out, He is still pulling for us. That young artist who “had no talent” but wouldn’t quit went on to great heights. His enterprises today rake in more than one hundred mil lion dollars a year. His name was Walt Disney. No one can remember the name of the Kansas Citv editor. FIVE STAR FEATURES The leadership we have been getting — in undoubtedly the most fateful period in U.S. history — is a precise reflec tion of the quality and quan tity of citizenship manifested by the people. z\nd now, out of the politics of October and November 1968 will come new leadership. But will it also bring a new dedica tion by 200 million Americans to assume all the responsibili ties of citizenship? This is the most important question. The answer will affect our nation’s destiny and may shape the course of human history for centuries to come. Food stamps in use here One hundred and ninety-nine household* representing 481 persons received $7,863 worth of U. S. Department of Agri culture Food Coupons during October. According to George Harper, Officer-in-Charge, of USDA Consumer and Marketing Ser vice, Consumer Food Program Field Office in Columbia, the 199 households exchanged $3,- 928 of their own money for $7,- 86,3 of USDA Food Coupons. This means that the families received $3,935 worth of free coupons to help them buy more and better food at any of the 63 retail groceries in Newberry County authorized to accept USDA Food Coupons. Harper also pointed out that the )>onus or free coupons rep resent more than $3,900 in in creased food sales at authoriz ed retail stores as a direct re sult of the Food Stamp Pro gram.
