K bKKJ'iON It is difficult for me to rea lize that I am in the United States because I have spent ten years in South America and looked forward to my beloved and glorious country; now what do I find 9 New York City, which 1 have long cherished, with an apartment in the splendid build ing given to New York Univer sity by Miss Helen Gould. That was a scene of quiet beauty. I rode every day from one ex treme of the city to Wall Street, passing through Harlem. Going to classes in a building behind LD Trinity Church. Day after day I made the trip, leav ing the University after classes. 1 now have no wish to go to New York. So much of the United States seems to be under the threat of hoodlums. I had better remain in South Caro lina where everything is quiet and people go to church. 1 love the South and have traveled up and down the Na tion but I think South Caro lina is the best place in the world. It is not an easy task of the President to bring back our troops from Asia, they not all went there at one time, nor can they turn their backs on Asia and all leave at one time be cause when our men start leav ing they can be shot in the back. W r hy we ever sent half a mil lion men to Vietnam-Asia is a flagrant case of our meddling with what did not concern us. We are hearing about trou bles in Atlanta, so I wonder where we could go in safety outside of South Carolina. It seems to me that the chan ces for Albert Watson to be Governor are improving. Before the Supreme Court it was argued that the Constitu tion does not require the elimi nation of racially identifiable public schools. If the lawyers do not know what the law is. what is the position of the average private citizen 9 The president has vetoed the bill to limit campaign costs. Letter to Editor The Democrat Party in South Carolina and John West seem ingly do not understand that they can not continue to domi nate the political thinking of tne citizens of S. C. Mi. West wildly accuses Republicans of smear tactics when the opposi tion simply quotes the facts re minding the citizens of Mr. IT’S TIME TO CHECK ON YOUR HOUSE FOR WINTER Make certain it's in good shape to withstand the icy blasts that descend upon us from the North Pole . . .

West from various state newspapers seems to make him uncomfortable as it should—after all the citizens of S. C. repudiated Mr. West in 1968 when he campaigned for Hubert Humphrey. The Democrat Party in S. C. must face competition squarely and realize they can not con tinue to mislead the people of S. C. blindly voting Democrat for candidates who never even visit the South or seek to im prove the status of the South. South Carolinians are not free unless they have more than one party to represent them, be cause thru competition better candidates will be able to seek public office. Recent voting trends have shown South Carolinians voting conservative on important is sues; conservative in the sense that we value our laws, our courts, our private independence of thought and our patriotism. South Carolinians thus think con servatively, as Americans. Al bert Watson, Republican candi date fer governor is a true con servative, and a loyal South Carolinian; he thinks as the people of our state do. John West does not think like the majority of the people of the state. We can not afford to e- lect this man on November 3rd because his election would put him in a better position to de liver this state back to the li beral Democrats in 1972, to the Hubert Humphries, the George McGoverns and Teddy Kenne dy! Sincerely, Harold Derrick To the Editor: John West is a desperate man who refuses to discuss the is sues of the campaign and in stead charges the Watson cam paign as racist. Let me make note that West recently refused to participate in a television in terview with Albert Watson. John West has in desperation snatched the familiar smear tactic of racism used commonly by liberal Democrats. West is avoiding the real is sues facing South Carolina and her citizens who deserve new leadership to solve the problems of our society's social, econo mic. and educational structure which has been marked by in creased taxes but without a re sulting increase in services. South Carolina must not allow a man in his desperation to perpetuate his party's one hun dred years of domination to stagnate South Carolina. South Carolina needs compe tition in government the same as business requires if the peo ple's interests are to be better served. Let us look to the future and leave the past one hundred years of one-party control be hind with the election of a lea der, such as Albert Watson. Sincerely, D G. Ruff, Jr. Newberry, S. C. To the Editor; South Carolina must have sounder economic policies as urged by Jim Henderson and Albert Watson if our states’ edu cational system is to improve. Dr. Inez Eddings has pointed out we have 22 teacher training colleges that are graduating less than 2,000 teachers each year and 1,000 of these take teaching jobs out of S. C. This represents the highest level of economic ignorance and extra vagance by our state. No South Carolina business or industry would invest to train its em ployees and have them prosely ted by their competitors in other states. I ask where are our fiscal experts, who are permitting this fantastic brain-drain in our state. The S. C. Development Board has reported that for every col lege graduate leaving this state, we experience $750,000 in eco nomic loss. Just in the teach ing profession this amounts to more than $20,000,000 per year and economic irresponsibility.. S. C. can have quality educa tion and a better economy No vember 3rd with Dr. Inez Ed dings as State Supt. of Educa tion. Sincerely, George Bedenbaugh 1613 Nance Street Newberry, S.

Now’s the time for garden work. Emory Jones, assistant ex tension specialist in horticul ture, says there’s a place in most residential landscapes where tulips, daffodils, Iris, crocus, and hyacinths are adap table. “They will fit the design scheme whether formal, infor mal, or natural,” he says. These ideas are given for get ting maximum results: Bulb varieties should be cho sen with colors complementing the color scheme of the existing garden plants. Bulbs should be massed or chumped by variety for best effect. Avoid long, sin gle lines of bulbs, especially where mixed colors are used. Plant in drifts or curving beds and avoid circular beds. It’s best to have no more than two colors blooming at a time but several shades of the same co lor are considered compatible. Background is important in selecting and placing bulb plant ings. Small-leaved plants such as sp!rea, boxwood, or Japa nese holly combine well with small-blossomed bulbs such as narcissus and crocus. Low stone walls and picket fences are also good background for the smaller flowering type?.. As the background becomes taller and heavier, larger flo wering types should be used and the bed be given greater depth. Bulbs should be planted dur ing October in the Piedmont section, and three or four weeks later than this in the coastal plains counties.
