BREED IN I think I recently read that our President has ^iven assur ances to Indonesia that we will do something—1 don't know what; I know only this, that since the days of Franklin Roos evelt we have been giving as surances to so many nations, the net result is our pouring out hundreds of millions of dol lars, many thousands of men, thousands of planes and more promises of support. Although I have supported the President and still support him in general, I wish the Congress would sternly forbid this nation to give assurances to any other nations that might involve us m the spending of money, ships or human lives. Just off hand 1 can guess that we are committed to Formosa with our greatest naval force, to the Philippines, to the Pana ma Canal and Central Ameri ca. to West Cermany. France, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Den mark. and some nations of Af rica. I think the full strength of our Country is needed here at home. We have m our Country sev eral threats- from Cuba, sup ported by Russia, race riots, all over the Nation. What I have just said is just a brief sample of our condition today. The constant manipulation of all branches of the Federal Gov ernment is the worst threat to the security of our American plan of living. Almost every day we find some court order to do this or not to do that; we will receive hundreds of thousands of dollars if we do this or lose hundreds of thousands of dollars if we do that. We find the Federal gov ernment meddling in a hundred ways, all violating the plain lan guage of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Recently the Nation has been wondering about the Sup reme Court of the United States, wliether it is operating as the Courts operated; or whether the Courts are disregarding the old judicial precedents or whether the Court is sailing on unchart ed seas and headed for un known waters. Throughout our Nation there is a growing lack of confidence, even lack of respect, for our Courts. I take the liberty to insist again the obligation to observe the 10th Amendment. Had you ever thought of the wondrous beauty of the hymns of the churches'.' 1 recently read some words from Luke in which he was telling of the answer of Jesus to a thief on the cross: Said the thief: “Master, remem ber me when Thou eomest into Thy Kingdom'.’" Jesus respond- Direct Writer Independent Agent WHEN YOU BUY INSURANCE YOU HAVE A CHOICE A direct writer sells for one company.

United Fund to give priority to local needs “The United Fund of New berry County has focused its allocations this year on county needs,” Campaign Chairman Jack Raffield said today. “Our Budget and Admissions Commit tee has given first priority to Newberry agencies which have applied for United Fund help,” he added. About two-thirds of the 1970 budget has been earmarked for direct needs in the county, ac cording to Mr. Raffield. “Of course, many other agencies— such as the Red Cross— will spend at least part of the funds allocated to them in Newberry County projects,” he continued. Those agencies which will be spending their entire appropria tion in the county are: B o y Scouts, $8,000; Girl Scouts, $4,- .843; Newberry County Associa tion for Retarded Children, $1.- 200; Newberry County Memor ial Hospital, $3,000; and New berry County Rescue Squads, (Newberry and Prosperity', $3,- 000. “While we feel it is a mat ter of good citizenship and civic responsibility to help those out side our county who are less fortunate than we.” Mr. Raf field said, “we are attempting to make certain that qualifying agencies at home are given the first consideration in their re- ouests for United Fund contri butions. For this reason we are hopeful that all citizens of the county will join us in our Octo ber campaign to make one fund raising effort serve the needs of many people and organizations.” This year's United Fund cam paign will begin the middle of October.

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY If you hire part-time or full time help on your farm this summer, you may have to re port the wages for social secur ity purposes. This is the word from H. M. Spiller of the Social Security Office. He said not all farm wages are subject to social security tax, but much of it is. He gave these simple rules to follow: (1) If you pay a farm laborer as much as $150 in cash in the year you report his wages for social security purposes; (2) If you hire a farm laborer on a time basis, and if the workers works on 20 different days in the year, you must report his wages for social security purposes. The amount paid does not affect the need for this report. If you have any questions about reporting farm wages, get in touch with the Social Secur ity Office at 219 Magnolia St., Greenwood. ARMY GREEN By SFC E. L. Wood News Ideas: Ever wonder who designs the handsome shoulder patches and regimental crests you see on the uniforms of men and women earing the Army green 9 They are the works of the Army's In stitute of Hera’dry, an organi zation that not only designs her aldic devices for the Army, but also for other Federal Govern ment agencies. The Institute, for example, redesigned the Ameri can flag after Hawaii and Alas ka gained statehood. The Insti tute also designed the Seal of the President of the United States. On the Institute’s staff are heraldic specialists, artists, sculptors and designers. Recondo Training: You probably have heard of the rugged ranger training be ing given by the Army but how many of you ever heard of “Re condo training”? Those who have taken it consider Recondo training to be more rugged than ranger training. Designed to train volunteers to become unit leaders specializing in long- range patrolling operations the three weeks course runs 18 hours a day, seven days a week. Most of the time is spent outdoors training in escape and evasion techniques, guerrilla warfare, map reading and patrolling. It is the type of course that not only builds up a man physically but mentally too. If you would like more information about Re condo training or other Army opportunities, see your Army Recruiter. Facts About the Army: Did you know: —That New York Jets Quar terback Joe Namath has a bro ther who is an Army Warrant Officer? —That one of three soldiers in the Army wears eyeglasses? —That seven soldiers were se lected to the 1968 All-American track and field team by the Amateur Athletic Union?
