COMMENT
on
Men & Things
By J. K. 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.

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.

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.
