GRID Communication Having just finished reading Milton and Rose Friedman’s new book, “Free to Choose”, I would like to recommend it to all citizens who are concerned about inflation and the future of this richly blest land of ours. It should be required reading for every congressman, every senator and for every member of the executive branch of our government. Teachers of courses in civics, social studies, government and citizenship could make wonderful use of it as a supplementary text. Our fine Polk County Library has a few copies.

We saw new styling, designs and colors of cabinetry, appliances, and equipment for kitchens, baths, laundries, etc., and many other products adaptable for many rooms of the home; displayed by hundreds of major U. S. manufacturers and many European suppliers, too.” Mr. and Mrs. Leon concluded: “In the new future, we expect to have many of these new products displayed in our showrooms so that the members of our community may come in and see them." Instant History Jennifer Ann Morrow of Landrum was named to the Dean’s List for the Fall Semester at Clemson University. By Chuck Ross This is the ninth in our series on Presidential elections, concern ing the election of 1820. The period was termed the “Era of Good Feelings”, and James Monroe rode the crest of the good times. The Ninth Election (1820) Despite the aura of “good feelings”, there was one trouble some issue over which feelings rang high, one which would later shake the foundations of our nation. (1) What was this issue, and what was the solution of the Congress? (2) What was the extent of the vote in 1820? (3) What was the significance of the vote against Monroe? (4) What was the “Virginia Dynasty"? (5) Following his re-election, Monroe took a step which has ever since been a cornerstone of our foreign policy. What was it? Answers (1) The issue was slavery and the deadlock between North and South over the admission of new states. With the addition of Mississippi (1817), Illinois (1818), and Alabama (1819), there were 22 states, half of them free, half slave. A bill to admit pro-slavery Missouri was blocked by the North; an ammendment to prohibit slavery in the Louisiana Territory was blocked by the South. The deadlock was broken by the Missouri Compromise, which allowed the admission of Maine, a free state, and Missouri, with the proviso that slavery would be prohibited in the northern part of the Louisiana Territory, exclusive of Missouri. (2) It was no contest. Monroe received 231 of 232 electoral votes; his running mate, incumbent Vice-President Daniel Tompkins received 218. The Federalists did not run a national ticket, although Richard Stockton gained 8 of Massachusetts’ 15 votes for the Vice-Presidency. (3) The single vote against Monroe was cast for John Quincy Adams by William Plumer former Governor of New Hamp shire. It is said that the vote was cast to maintain George Wash ington as the only unanimous President However, this is ^ by those Wh ° Relieve that the reason was more disapproval of Monroe than veneration of Washington 41 Four of our first five Pres.dents, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe were native sons of Virginia. But, it was the end of the line. No other Virginian has been elected President since, although Vice- Presidertt John Tyler of Virginia succeeded to the Presidency upon the death of William Henry Harrison in 1841. A purist might argue with the above claim, however. Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia, but spent the greater part of his life elsewhere. Prior to gaining the Presidency in 1912, Wilson was Governor of New Jersey, and before that, President of Princeton Univer sity. Thus, he could hardly be considered a member of the “Virginia Dynasty.” (5) The Monroe Doctrine asserted the principle that the United States would view with disfavor any attempts by foreign powers to colonize or otherwise implant their will in any of the Americas. It was a courageous stand by a small nation, but it reflected our new nationalism. It has been our foreign policy down through the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 and our reaction, albeit half-hearted, to the 1979 pseudo crisis concerning Russian troops in Cuba.
