BREEDIN Senator Edgar Brown is quot ed in the press as saying that the fabulous extra appropriat ion—$65 million, as I recall—is not sufficient to carry out the Governor’s plan of enlargement of the State Government. This opinion of Senator Brown de serves careful study, for the two Statesmen from Barnwell have long been balance wheels in the government of the State. No other county has contributed so much as the county of Barn well with Senator Brown and Speaker Sol Blatt I am moved to remark that the Governor is not the sole judge of how much expenditure and taxation the State can stand without some form of deep re gret. 1 do not say this casually but I am of the opinion that our best interests will be serv ed by throwing overboard all the new proposals, including en largements. The time has come for the thoughtful men—and women— to speak out against heavy tax ation and new debts. As to the Pueblo incident— or was it a disaster?! regard it as the unmitigated blunder, in our American history. 1 once had a course in what was called International Law in an American Northern Univer sity. That doesn’t mean any- ting now for since the two Vvorld Wars so-called Internat ional law has been thrown to the winds and the law is deter mined by your Army and Navy. Now as to the Pueblo ease— which is still under investiga tion and that is investigation of our officers, not the Koreans. Let us see if we can reason this out an American small warship, hardly a warship, en tered a port of Korea Now then, was that a port of Korea or merely a part of the water touching the shore of Ko- rea’’ If it was a port of Korea it would have been the proper course to demand an explana tion perhaps involving a prot est to our government If it was not a port of Korea the course adopted by that government was extremely insulting We let the Koreans take the Captain of the ship, all his of ficers and crew prisoners, sub ject to insult. Just after the Pueblo was seized by Koreans an American Battle (’rinser, heavily armed, entered within gun shot of the Korean port What did it do° It turned around and sailed away, without a shot This whole incident is the most disgraceful occurrence in our history, and the only thing we have done is to submit to an endless inquiry which further aggravates the gravity of the utter weakness of America be fore the world Since the remarkable cam paign of Gen McArthur in Kor ea our cowardly backing down must make us appear as a mil itary power of the rank of Ar abia in battle with the Israel ites. The President’s conference with the President of France and the Ruler of Italy may be worth while unless we remember that both nations have so many dis orders that their governments are weak and unstable. We can depend somewhat on England because England de pends entirely on us. So far as our relations with the other na tions. we must depend on our military strength. " Tta County Agents Column Many of the stresses and the resulting complications placed on cattle when we move them to market or just working them on the farm can be controlled The average beef cattle produc er is not aware of these unnec essary losses. Weaning is one of the great est stresses on beef calves. A five to ten percent shrink is to be expected and normal during the weaning period. Calves dur ing weaning are more suscep tible to disease and the produc er suffers greater losses at this time. Research has shown that many animals do not regain their shrink for 20 to 30 days when put into the feedlot dir ectly after weaning. In general, animals over 600 pounds suffer less stress during movement than younger and lighter weight animals Calves present more problems than do yearlings. Work done in Iowa by Doctors Herrick and Brist ol showed that as the weights of the animal increased, the an imals were less likely to be come ill. and the mortality rate was lower However, if heavier animals did become ill. they were more likely to die. The losses from shrink, poor feed utilization, improper drug use and loss of gain is fre- quently hidden, but they can amount up to at least $10-20 pci animal Each calf sold re presents a part of the invest ment in the beef herd and must help pay the expenses of main taining the herd as well as make a profit for the producer i'OK LONGER TIRE LIFE: If you want your tires to last longer, check ‘he air pressure often when they are cool and keep them properly inflated. Pressure increases as tires warm up under high speed dri ving. Do not let air out as soon as you stop. If you do. tire pressure will be too low after cooling Overinflation will cause tires to wear excessively in the cen ters and reduce sur f 'ce con tact You will have less traction and a tendency to skid. Under inflation causes excessive wear on the edges, heating and more flexing of sidewalls, and a greater tendency to roll side ways. A lot of people will call me stupid, I know. Some will feel sorry for me. Others will snicker a little and sa} that I should grow up. We humans have a way of expressing our feelings without ever uttering a word. And reading all the expressions I come to the conclusion that this will be the attitude of many toward me. But it doesn’t really matter what others think of me. What is important is what I think of myself and what the Carpenter thinks of me. Somehow, if I have His approval and blessing all the other snide remarks seem to have a way of diminishing in import ance. So I guess that’s the reason that what others think just isn’t import ant. Their being relatively unimport ant, I feel free to make the following- known about myself. It Happened That Way 1 believe it happened. I believe that, basically, it happened just the way we have been taught it happened. I be lieve they took a just Man—-the most just Man ever to walk on the face of this earth—and they nailed Him to a tree. I Indieve they did it because of their selfishness and sinfulness. I be lieve He allowed it to happen. I l>elieve that He had the power to stop it, des troy them all if He wished. But I be lieve He allowed them to do it because of His great love. I believe it broke His heart, that inside He wanted so much to be loved by those who sought to destroy Him. I believe that He forgave them, that He held no bitterness nor hatred to ward them. And I believe that, in the irony of it all, His love was stronger than their hate. I believe that to this very day the most powerful weapon in the universe is the power of love of the Galilean Carpenter. I believe there is no weapon anywhere that can make a dent in it. And I believe that the only cure, yes I said the only cure, to the basic troubles of the world today is the application of that love in our lives. I am convinced that it has al ways been and will continue to be His will for us to love one another like He loves us. He Lives Yes, I believe that He did arise from the grave. I believe that He was fully dead when removed from the cross and placed in the tomb. And I am con vinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that He conquered death with life, that He came alive again and lives today and will live forever. Add to that my belief that it is His greatest wish for us that we live that life with Him here and now and in the life that is beyond death. No, I cannot explain it. No one can. But I can experience it. Everyone can. No, I’m not perfect. I am a miserable creature, unworthy of anything on my own merits. Rut I have a Saviour, and therefore I no longer need to depend on my own merits—only my faith. Laugh. Snicker. Call me stupid. I guess that is the highest compliment you could pay me. But don’t do it too loud. It could be that one day you might share my beliefs. —Five Star Features Inflate tires to pressure re commended by the tire maker. As loads increase, increase the pressure. Check tires every time you gas up. RATS: If you never see rats but see signs of them, there may be as many as 100 on your place. If you see rats occasionally at night, there are 100 to 500 around. Occasional daytime and numerous night sightings indi cate 500 to 1000. And there may be as many as 5000 if you see many at night and several in the daytime. Because of the serious di seases rats spread and the pro perty damage they cause, these estimates make a strong case for the use of poison baits. Follow the directions for safe use and ratproof buildings and feed bins. Letter To Editor Dear Sir: In your paper of March 27. US9 1 noted you said that. “J. P Hawkins, co-chairman of the Citizens for Freedom of Choice approved the new plan.” This is not exactly true for we ithe Citizens for Freedom of Choice) did not know what the plan for the year 1969-70 was until it was given out at the board meet ing. We were pleased that the board had backed down from the approved plan. We stated our appreciation of this move. While this is NOT a Freedom of Choice plan it is about as good as we can expect to get; and we stated these facts. The most heartening thing in the board’s report was the show ol determination to stick by this plan to the extent of pre paring a budget without feder al funds if this was necessary. It took a great amount of cour age on the part of the board to do this. We approve this stand; and hope and pray that this plan will be approved by HEW. If HEW does not approve we hope the board will stand fast with this plan. We believe a quiet stand of firmness is needed to get results. We will be standing with the board in this determination; and while we stand we will talk about the school plans as friends. J. P. HAWKINS Wearing A Skipper’s Hat!
