Putnam told the Konneheeta Woman's Club at the January meeting. As speaker for the club's com mittee <>n Citizenship and Ameri canism, Col. Putnam was intro duced by Club President, Mrs. D. E. PuIlium. On leave from the Public Re lations Division of the Champion Fiber and Paper Company, Col. f^itnam has been speaking to pub lic groups north and south on the east coast, respite the fact that he has been threatened, as tie Com munist party can not stand to have the truth revealed. He said, "The struggle is not new. Communism is a. new name for the old idea "Man with K's God given freedoms and the Commun ist world without God and with out freedom. With the destructive power of the Hydrogne and Atomic bombs, which both tides now have, we are at the acute stage of (be struggle where a material showdown is In evitable. Divine intervention, a tone, on prevent such a catas trophe. However, prophecy for the struggle can be found in the Holy Scriptures, and the answers are given to mankind." For these your churches, your ministers, and your own understanding can help you." Cel. Put nan stated, "I am not here to preach, I am bars to tall the American people of actual facts ex isting in our own country. "The Communist plan is now to rule the he said "Right now there are Com munist spies set in positions to carry out individual duties accord ing to a set and systematically plan. The u- S. Govenment IS a ware of these facts. Most of these men have been spotted and are watched by our authorities. And our government so recognizes the importance of the time element, that we are prepared to go into action to prevent such moves with a 15 minute warning." "To the general public it will probably be a surprise to know that the Soviet Union has at this time, submarines, so equipped to fire atomic missiles off our coast lines." He stated, "In spite.of these dangers from without our greatest danger is from within. One of the biggest aids to the communist eff orts in our country today is that the Communist party is a legal political party despite the fact that It is known that their plan is to over throw our government in their drive for world conquest. "Our government is making an effort to correct this situation. An other atd to their efforts within the country is the face that their ag-1 eats have been able to secure jobs. in high executive and political cap-1 settles Both Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White oases are examples of this. The exposure recently of the Harry Dexter White case has done much to bring the serious ness of the situation to the attent ion of the American public." CoL Put man also stated, "With ; i treaty tor world peace including! ha Soviet Union the American I tuhlic would do well to h* Russia tea . reputation ofj thins, and just as readily breaks agreements of anything she signs. This too. is all according to theii plan. For America to fall into a liaise sense of security and he ?thrown off guard by these tactics and thereby, aid the communis! desire to strike while we are of! guard could prove disastrous. Nev er forget these forces wiH try and try again for their ultimate goal of world conquest and they will stop at nothing. Remember thedj philosophy is "Man Without God." Recent events which place us in a better position to meet the com ence the timhig of the communist eooe the timing of the oommunlst plan. Some ?* these are the air bases which we are now building in locations so close to the Soviet Union; The McCarthy fearless in vestigation and the exposure of Soviet agents In high U. S. Gover nment places." He said, "If we Americans think we can depend on help from the people to whom we have given material aid, we are wrong. For hatred toward America Is on the increase throughout the world. We have made the mistake of think ing we oauld buy loyalty?buy love. . Refer to the acrtptures ... Following the address. Col. Put nan answered many questions put tkm. "What can we do about this, to him by the group. To the ques 1s there anyway to stop this thing?" He answered "yes, if every man, woman and child in this country would get down on their knees to the AlmtfRy God Snd re turn in true religious faith to the only true source of strength snd power We would have dMne Inter vention. and of this 1 have no doubt" Schools In Competitive Drive For Polio Funds Ned Stewart State Jr. Corn Champ NED STEWART Ned Stewart of Andrews, an ac- ? live member of the Four-H Club < and Future Farmers of America, < was named Junior State Com ? champion at a luncheon recently 1 in Raleigh, by the North Carolina' Crop Improvement Association and Producers at N.
