Religious leaders are attaching much im
portance to the recent introduction of the
Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
Thev have expressed the hope that more
p.-ople will turn to the Book now that it has
readily utidt rslood.
It has been rightly asserted that the full
. aeeeplanee of the Hole Book would do more
j to relieve tension here at home and
j throughout tin world than all the political
el< ctions, past, present and future.
The meaning of the Bible has not been
changed in tin new translation, and in this
j day of uncertainl\ existing on so many
1 fronts, it is fitting for all people to turn to
the Bible and search out its truth and moan
ing. and then apply the meaning to om daily
walk through life.
While politicians can shake things up and
1wist tlic issues, the Bible hoicks the only
solution to our problems here at home and
abroad. And if we are to solve those prob
j loins. w< must turn to tin Book
The new translation offers a turning
point, and the world, if it is to exist tn any
thin!' like a noble fashion, must recognize
that turning point and follow through, hold
ing tight to the principles propounded in
the Bible.

Virginians arc talking about spending
quite a few thousands of dollars on a river
dredging project in the Norfolk area. Nor
folk taxpayers are to pay more than $100,000
on the project, but Uncle Sam's share of the
cost has not been mentioned.
Surely tilt' project has merits, and that’s
beside the point. The main issue centers
around one fellow by the name of Byrd, the
man who has talked much and acted little
about economy in government Will he let
the expenditure go by unnoticed? There
has been a gieat deal of spending in Vir
ginia. and Byrd seldom attacked the cost of
such projects However, similar projects
in other areas havi been branded as social
istic. *|g.*
11 Mi. Bvid is going to cut down on taxes,
let him start slashing projects in his own
back yard. There’s nothing in the record
about his opposition to the spending of near
1> half million dollars of the federal tax
payers' money to pump sand up on a resort
beach in Virginia. But he has hadmuch to
sav about the government spending $j and
$2 an acie to keep the lop sou": t onTvfas i n n g
away on those lands where food and fiber
are produced.

It has been reliably suggested that IJ. S.
Senators' salaries be increased from $12,500
.. h> $24,000 a year. Possibly the hard-work
ing law1 makers need more money, but will
N sala»'.v incrca.v . soivi the problem in Wash
ill ington?
Instead of buying a $41,000 home. Sena
$f tor Nixon, with his salary doubled, might
I not consider paying less than $82,000 for a
f * home. The salary increase would add pres
ill an^ the fellows would need more pri
ll vate hand-outs to mail out more greeting
cards.
I? It would be more appropriate for the
P Washington boys to plead poverty as an ex
, cijsc for not mailing out greeting cards thar
IP it would be to try to explain away by emo
jM tional acts the hand-outs from doubtfu
< sources. Then. too. the boys could elimin
* sic a bit of their social life, and devote mon
■ lime to serving the country and all the pro
|M pie. Also they might get employment ir
J* other places while the Congress is not ir
F cession..
Sized I p Long 4flit
Richard M. Nixon, the little fellow who
is running for the vice presidency as the
leading man in a sloppy soap opera, was
sized iiji years ago Uy .lames Harvey Robin
son (111(1!! Hl.'td) as follow.-.
"I'olitieal campaigns are designedly made
mmMM* i«aM«
itii" env»!ion:d ojades which eiafeavor m
distract attention from the "eal issues in
volved, and they actually paralyze what
slight powers of cerebration man can nor
mally muster.”
Henry Brooks Asarns (IBftft-1918) also had
“poor Richard’s" number when he said.
“Practical polities consists in ignoringiacts.”
Nixon, after covering over his own erring
wavs, is still spreading unfounded rumors
and making misleading statements in the
current campaign.
A man who’ll employ such tactics, regard
less of his ability, is not lit to be in the
government even as a dog catcher in a two
by -four precinct.
Hone Political
A certain radio commnetator, working on
! a limited State hook-up and the mouthpiece
j of a large out-of-state fertilizer manufactur
er, has just about stopped plugging for fer
tilizer, and joined hands with the Republi
cans. Talking much and always saying lit
tle, the commentator, apparently feeling his
importance, makes flaws and exploits them
j to the glory of the Republicans.
It’s a free country, to be sure, and the
S right of that two-by-four
i*1 me" mmTTT'TsTffl*1
I when the commenator digs up things about
1 the Democrats, he should tell his boss’s cus
] turners that it was the Republicans who
i held full power when cotton sold for five
! cents, tobacco 15 cents and peanuts from
i three-quarters to one cent a pound. He
should remind his farmer customers that
the right of the farmer to enjoy a fair rc
1 urn on his investment and labor, even the
labor of his little children, was gained over
strong Republican opposition.
To hear the all-wise and tremendously
inflated guy talk, one wonder’s if the Re
publican party or the Republican fertilizer
company is paying his way.
' Farmers and others in the agricultural
centers of this Slate will do well to consul
ei the source, and act accordingly.
Fire Prevention
I
Next week is being observed as fire pre
vention week. While it is good business to
practice lire* prevention every week, it is
timely that a week be set aside to attend
to those little things that when left alone
for long can start a fire.
The home owner and the business opera
tor knows what conditions invite fires, and
time should be spent relieving those condi
tions.
Williamston had several costly fires last
winter. It is time new to take every pos
sible precaution in holding down the loss
to an absolute minimum this coming winter.
Jerkyl Or Hyde
Mr. Clyde Hoev’s efforts in behalf of the
j Democrats in the current Presidential cam
paign are welcomed. He is doing a splen
did job, preaching the Democratic doctrine
and opening the doors for the wayward. ,
It is hard to believe that the Senator
would come down here and enter into the
campaign with such vim and vigor, and then
return to Washington and keep such close
company with the Republicans.
This Jeckyl and Hyde business is most
confusing, and is even harder to understand
i after the Senator chose to sit out more than
one campaign in the not-too-long ago.
Poor lh‘fen*t‘
Willing to do anything to support Rich
ard Nixon in his business of taking hand
outs from any and all sources, a congress
man in an effort to soften the gravity of the
practice, says he could name one hundred
other congressmen who have received funds
from special sources.
It’s a poor defense when one justifies his
position because 100 other folks did the
same thing. It is time that those names be
submitted to the people and time for the
people to vote the rascals out as well as
block Nixon in his nefarious bid for the vice
presidency.
Herbert Agar, author of "A Declaration of
Faith “Civilizations, like men and women,
must have a moral purpose or die of sheer
boredom.”
Conscience is what tells you the differ
ence between right and what you want to
do.
We like a man who comes right out aiui
says what he thinks, when he agrees with
us.
