Men & Things
By J. K. BREED IN
Somewhere I have read that
President Nixon has been able
to bring about an economy in
the National budget of some
few billions. That must be a
mistake. How could such a
thing be in Washington? I am
appalled at the thought. If
such an economy were made
I fear this Nation would go to
smash in a vast cataclysm.
If, by some miracle it could
be increased further I fear that
the Heavens would fall and the
angels would fly around the
earth to gather the fragments.
I wonder if that same mir
acle might hold sway in Col
umbia .It would not be the
work of the Governor but it
might be that for the moment
the sway of Allendale might
give way to ‘he statesmanship
of Barnwell. Think of that.
The Democrats in Congress
seem unable to understand the
taxpayers of the Nation de
mand reductions and the tax
payers will prove that the
Presidnt is right in wanting
reductions, not transferred.
With all the colossal spend
ing and deficit of recent years
the Nation is staggering under
the weight of debt.
The idea of using the var
ious economics to bolster the
multifarious activities of re
cent years is an absolute and
colossal bit of mischievous
meddling and the nation should
repudiate this attitude of the
Congress.
Here in South Carolina the
majority of the members
should endorse and support the
attitude of Sol Blatt with re
gard to the kindergarten; and
the determination to cut our
budget to the bone should at
tract the hearty cooperation of
all the Legislature.
Now and again I think of the
Constitution of the United
States but since I am blind in
one eye I am never quite sure
about the accuracy of my mem
ory, though lam dependent on
my wife and daughter to bring
me up to date.
1 am about to cite that ven
erable document which seems
to be under the counter gath
ering dust along with The Fam
ily Bible. Now then: with all
the fuss and feathers, uproar
and disorder about constitut
ional rights, I thought I re
membered something like this:
“The Constitution guarantees
the right of citizens to meet
quietly and peaceably and pet
ition for a redress’’, but ob
serve, they must meet quietly
and peaceably.
I do not remember that any
one else has cited that part of
the Constitution, for the Con
stitution in our day does not
seem to enjoy the respect of
lawyers or courts; but there
it is hidden away in Article I
of the First Amendment. I
have wondered whether some
man of public spirit and pri
vate purse would have all of
these things copied in large
type and circulated among all
the courts, Legislators, editors,
Congressmen and lawyers.
It will bear emphasis: the
meeting must be quiet and
peaceable.
There was a time when law
yers refreshed their minus by
reading the Constitution and
The Bible. That was a long
time ago. Today the Constitu
tion and The Bible are resting
in a quiet comer undisturbed,
not being necessary in the
swift pace of the day.

SAVING A LIFE
While visiting with a neighbor, the
son of a wealthy Englishman decided
to go sw r imming. The young boy had
not been swimming too long until he
began to call for help. He was about to
drown. The son of the gardener was
nearby and he came to the rescue of
the young boy. He went into the swim
ming pool and pulled the young boy
to safety.
The wealthy boy’s parents were so
grateful for his deed that they wanted
to do something in return for the gar
dener’s son. Asking what they could
do to show their appreciation, they
were told of the poor boy s desire to
become a doctor. Since the gardener
did not have funds to finance his son’s
medical education, the wealthy family
agreed to provide the funds to send
the young hero through medical school.
Entered Medical School
The young poor boy grew' up and
entered medical school. He made a
good record for himself and was soon
recognized as one of the outstanding
physicians in all England. Soon his
efforts were recognized beyond Eng
land and around the world. In 1945
he was named the winner of the Nobel
Prize in Medicine for his discovery of
penicillin. His name was Sir Alexander
Fleming.
Life plays some funny cards some
times. Here w T as a young man who had
the ability and the desire, but lacked
the money to reach his goal in life.
And then, by a strange twist of fate,
the door to his dreams opened as the
result of his helping someone else.
OPENS A DOOR
A lot of folks would say it w’as noth
ing more than a coincidence that caus
ed Alexander Fleming’s dream to come
true. Maybe it was, or maybe it wasn’t.
Maybe, by some mysterious way, it
was as much Providence as coincid
ence that opened that door. Now we
know that a lot of folks won’t buy
the possibility that it was Providence,
and not coincidence, that opened the
door. But the evidence is just as strong
that it was as it is that it wasn’t.
Won’t Buy Supernatural
We have seemly grown to a place in
society where we won’t buy anything
having to do with the supernatural.
If it happens there must be a scienti
fic answer to it. A lot of people seem
to think that there’s a scientific
answer to everything. And while we
aren’t trying to belittle science or
scientists, there are still some things
that cannot be answered with a scien
tific rulebook. What causes love? Can
you measure that by scientific rules?
Or what causes one man to give his
life so another can live? Try that one
in the computers. Or why would a
Man be willing to die on a cross?
Sir Alexander Fleming later saved
the life of that same boy again. It was
during the Second World War and he
treated the childhood friend, now a
growm man, for pneumonia and saved
his life for the second time. It’s a good
thing for England and the rest of the
world that he did. You see, the man
who twice owed his life to Fleming
w r as the Prime Minister of England—
Winston Churchill.
