(Continued from Page 1) should be, that four per cent of our people are unemployed, and a few are chronically hun gry. You are incensed, and you should be, because some Neg roes in the South have worms, lack medicine, live in wretched hovels and suffer malnutrit ion. But we remember when in testinal worms were common place among the people. We remember when 20 per cent of our men were jobless. And when Franklin Roosevelt cried that one third of our nation was ill- housed, ill-fed and ill-clothed, we knew he did not exaggerate. The failings of the past do not justify those of today, of course. But a realistic comparison re veals a continuing progress that is not a symptom of a sick society. We have been materialistic because we have seen too many people suffer too much from material want, because we re member too many starving chil dren, because we have walked too many miles through too many cold mornings to work long hours at low pay and re turn at night to parents with fear and worry in their eyes. We have determined it would not happen to you, that you would have vitamins and orange juice and milk, warm clothes, a comfortable home and good schools, and a running start at life.

I am sure that Farm Bureau members will support the Christmas Seal Campaign by purchasing and using the seals.” Because of it, you are the biggest, tallest, healthiest and brightest, handsomest genera tion to inhabit this land, and perhaps the world.

Because we were mat erialistic you will have more leisure, more chance to achieve more chance to spend the days of your years in meaningful, challenging pursuits.

Legion urges support of Nixon policies Taking immediate and enthu siastic action on a Resolution passed by a special meeting of the National Executive Commit tee of The American Legion, National Commander J. Milton Patrick has called upon all De partment Commanders to rally behind the President of the United States in supporting his stand for an honorable and just peace in Vietnam consistent with the continued maintenance of the security of the country. So that the silent majority may be heard from, Command er Patrick has furnished each Department with a supply of Pledge of Support forms with the request that Department Commanders implement a pro gram of obtaining signatures on these pledges for delivery to the President. South Carolina’s Department Commander Henry J. Field of Seneca immediately endorsed this program and forwarded to all Post Commanders in the state copies of the Pledge of Support with the request that they obtain as many signatures as possible on this simple but solemn pledge and forward the completed form as directed. The pledge reads: “We, the undersigned, support the position of the President of the United States for an honor able and just peace in Viet nam, consistent with the con tinued maintenance of the se curity of our own country.” It is not necessary that one be a member of the American Legion to sign. One need only be a member of the silent maj ority who support the President and Commander Field invites all South Carolinians who are such a member, to join with the American Legion in putting their names on the line for an honorable and just peace. Additional pledge forms are available at the Legion State headquarters and may be ob tained by requesting them by mail at P. O. Box 11355, Col umbia, or Telephone 253-9431.

Last week members of the Blue Key chapter at Presbyter ian College presented a simi lar program to Newberry Col lege students during the regu lar Assembly program. WBTV executive predicts more balanced news The president of the Jefferson Standard Broadcasting Company in Charlotte predicted last week that “the nation’s viewers will soon begin to see a more ob jective and balanced news pack age when they tune in one of the network newscasts each evening”. Charles H. Crutchfield told members of the Charlotte Ex change Club Thursday evening that, as a result of Vice Presi dent Agnew’s criticism of net work news, “the national net works are going to engage in considerable stock-taking of what they have been doing, with the result that militants won’t command the attention they once commanded.” Crutchfield, who was present ed the Exchange Club’s highest honor, its “Book of Golden Deeds Award”, charged that the networks and some of the national media have, by their emphasis on dissent, “present ed an inflated and an erroneous picture of what is going on— omitting, as the coverage has, all too often, the majority forces which are at work in America keeping this country from be coming completely unglued.” Commenting on the dissent that has racked the country in recent years, the WBT-WBTV chief executive said, “I am not critical of peaceable dissent. It is not only advisable, but essen tial. But those dissenters,” he said, “Who have no other ap parent goal than the destruct ion of their government are not only despicable, they are pitiful. “It is ironical,” Crutchfield said, “that when the destruct ive militants protest, they are doing so in one of the few coun tries which permits them such a privilege. And when they hoist a North Vietnam flag, and call for a Communist victory in Vietnam, they apparently do not realize that, if they protested in such a fashion in North Viet nam, they and their families would be murdered, without ben efit of a trial.” Crutchfield also called on “the young protesters” to give positive suggestions on how to right what they think is wrong. It isn’t enough just to protest, he said. “I don’t believe that idealistic young people are go ing to change, not substantially at least, our society until their criticisms are coupled with some contributions.” Crutchfield concluded by tell ing his audience that “I think Americans are interested in something other than the seamy side of our country. We want to be apprised of the good things that are going on in this big, vibrant country of ours. We’d like to see the camera swung, once in a while, from the privy to the patio, where the sun shine is.” Mr. and Mrs. James Killings- worth have moved to 1934 Whee ler Street.
