Lett summer Joe had trouble
with a rear tractor tire. What
" happened I'm not aure, but he
took It to Koonce In Klnston for
repair. The tractor has not
been used as much in the last
six months or so as he would
have liked, but It has been used
some. Last week the same rear
tire went flat again. This time
he took it to Flakes Tire Ser
vice in Clinton for repair. They
took it off the wheel, drained
out the water, took out the in
ner tube and also removed a pop
bottle!

Dear Editor:
On Friday, November 24th, I
was involved in an accident Just
outside of Kenansvllle,
and I would like to express my
appreciation to all of .the people ,
who helped me following the
accident. If you wiUplaase print

LETTERS FROM HOME
There's only one thing which
can brighten our day;
That's a letter from home, so
far far away.
As we open each letter, pack
ace or card.
It lightens our load, and makes
it less hard.
The news from back home is
always good news;
To hear of our loved ones,
family and friends.
Makes us more thankful of
serving for them;
And helps us to know we'll
serve to the end.
Each day when mail call comes
around,
We anxiously wait to see what
we'll get.
Everyone is hoping and thinking
of course.
That certainly their loved ones
didn't forget.
There's always a few who seem
to get none.
Hoping tomorrow will bring at
least one.
It seems like suchasmallfavor
to ask;
Don't you remember me, as
you did in the past?
As we write home, we are led
to believe.
That our families take pride in
our serving this land.
There's very little glory in
fighting a war;
But what we're to win is worth
serving for.
So as you sit down at the end
of the day.
Write just one letter to a friend
far away.
It brightens his day, and makes
him fell better,
To know that someone has sent
him a letter.

? SAY *
WASHINGTON - The British
travail over the devaluation of
the pound brings somber
warming to Americans who up to
now have been content to say
that financial worries apply to
other nations, but not to us.
Assurances have been given
by our top (iiunftial experts
that the dollar corttfpues strong,
Dies. AD this calls to rnlmrfhe
prophesy made long agobyEng1
land'S poet, Rudyard Kipling,In
?"a literary masterpiece entitled
"Gods of the Copybook Head
ings". In that poem, Kipling
warned that men would suffer
if they forsook the gods of
wisdom to pay themselves
merely for existing in lieu of
toiling in the world market.
Consider the magnitude of the
British tragedy and the road
which we are traveling in Ame
rica. England was the cradle of
American liberty and democra
cy. The genius of our free en
terprise system came from
England. England gave us slan
guage. a system oflaws, and the
spiritual ideals to build a great
nation. During the proud days of
England, her ships laden with
commerce plied the Seven Seas
and the sun never set upon the
?, '
British flag.
Then came the day when poli
ticians sought votes and pro
mised to care for British citi
zens from the cradle to the
grave. England, who had won
two world wars with our help,
lost the initiative and her covet
rnments have floundered ui the
as the greatest traders for ge
nerations was eroded by the
dulling effects of statism. In the
end, an economy was built that
could not pay its way in the
world market and her credit
ranout.
ine warning lor us Is Clear.
For years, our government has
dwelt upon the "new" econo
mics and its theories extolling
the virtues of deficit financing.
Many of these theories were
borrowed from the same Eng
lish economists who advised
the British Government. Nor
have we realistically reckoned
with the huge Treasury defi
cits that we have piled up in
recent years. Simply put, there
has been more emphasis on
"keeping the economy going"
than on sound financing.
The results have not been
hard to find. Deficits caused
by Federal spending have
caused huge borrowings by our
Government. Recently we have
had to resort to borrow
ing fro m the International Mo
netary Fund, ' a Fund that Eng
land has been relying upon to
protect her currency reserves.
This U. S. budget deficit has
caused inflation here at home,
and has lessened our ability
to export our goods in the
world trade markets. For some
time, we have been unable to
balance our deficit trade
accounts with other nations.
Settlement of these trade ac
counts has been a continuing
drain upon our gold reserves,
one of many concerns in this
situation.
At the turn of the 20th cen
tury, we had to recognize that
our once "limitless" conti
nental frontier was In fact "li
mited"/ We adjusted our think
ing to the limits of our land
resources. Now we must recog
nize that even a wealthy nation
has limits to its financial re
sources and the means to which
it will put them. We cannot
continue to disregard the perils
which our spending policies are
posing for the immediate future
and for the decade ahead.
This is a problem of crucial
importance to every American.
The sooner we Impose the ne
cessary discipline to correct
it, the sooner we will have
bolstered our future liberties.

Honorable OrVille L. Free
man, U, S. Secretary of /gri
culture, told the story recent
ly of a group of scientists who
had created the ultimate com
I outer - a computer equipped
for the first time with insight
and the potential for abstract
reasoning. To test their awe
some creation, the scientists
asked it the oldest question in
the world: "Is there a God?"

Freeman is a fairy talf, of
cottrse, but it does cctoain a
great deal of insight into nor
mal everyday ^doings today. Men
gtt smarter and smarter , and
they are building machines that
are smarter than men - at
least in regard to some things.
If scientists continue to build
m achiries with more and more of
what compares to human bril
liance I hesitate to think of all
the implications. Is it possible
that our own creations and in
ventions, as Secretary Free

that our lives and our desti
nies are being shaped by our
dependence on our own me
chanical, technological, and
scientific inventions?

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
Ed Dpollttle ?m reporting to
the feller* at the country store
Saturday night that be couldn't
give this term of the Congress
a passing grade. Now that they
was gone home to mend their
fences, said Ed. he figgered this
session would go down in his
tory in the minus column.
Zeke Grubb was agreed with
Ed, but he was of the opinion if
things didn't git better in Wash
ington they wasn't going to be
no history to go down in.
Clem Webster of the Great
Society was defending the Con
gress, said he had saw a report
from the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics where a family of four
wasn't living the good life of
these times if it didn't have ?S,
000 a year to spend. Since Clem
aint got but two in his family,
Ed couldn't pin him down on
these statics, but Ed allowed as
how under them figgers, most
of the folks in this community
tint been living the good life.
Ed allowed as how this cut in
spending they was bragging
about didnt amount to enough
to offset them traveling Jun
kets our Congressmen would
take this winter, along with
their wives, aunts, uncles, and
cousins. Fer instant, said Ed,
we still got 400 Federal hand-out
programs run by 180 different
Guverament agencies.
Bug Hookum reported he was
reading the other day where
njt have buMwo^lpers outsidr
eign affairs and one for the

Confidential, Mister Editor. I
??????????? in i - ? - - - ? f *
dont put much store by Bug's
opinion on things. He was so
lazy be aint never contributed \ ,
nothing fer the upkeep of the
country. He makes me recollect
a story my Pa used to tell. He
said he had two Plymouth Bock
roosters and one of them was so
lazy that when the other one
crowed fer daylight he just nod
ded his head in approval. But,
like Clem Webster was saying at
a recent session, them science
fellers might come up with a lec
trie spark to put to fellers like
Bug and be could git to be a
wheelhorse in the community.
It aint that Bug was tight with .
his money, he just never earns
enough to git tight with. Josh
Clodhopper was the one that was
tight with a dollar. The fellers
at the store claim here a few
year back, when Josh had to
have his car towed in and found
it was going to cost him $10, he
sneaked the door open and put
on the brakes.
I reckon, Mister Editor, I was
about the only one at the coun
try store that was perfect.
Yours truly
Uncle Pets
life is needed. No one in his
right mind would want to re
turn to a day when many of
the modern inventions were not
present. Those who talk about
the "good old days" would not
go back to them if you got
up a bus load right now. Thank
God for scientific progress.
Yet the real danger of our
inventions is that they might
make us lose the beauty and
magnificence of God's crea
tions and the power of God
Himself.

can be found in a story by
Marjorie Brophy in "Good
Housekeeping" recently. It in

who visited her cousin on Cape

morning on the beach, Ann's
