ANDREWS IN Lucy Laughter Staff Correspondent Phone 321-5161 Andrews, N. C. Stand Firm, Your Beliefs For God And Country I wish to tike this time to write an article In connection with the "Capital Clipboard News and Comments" byEuU N. Greenwood, appearing in the November 22. Issue, of the Andrews Journal. 1 would also like to reprint this article for the benefit of those who may have over looked reading It. "FIFTY GOING?..Between the American Legion on one hand and loss of population on the other, it is estimated that upwards of 50 and poss ibly even more - of the 170 legislators here last week for the changing of die Speaker Ban Law will not be present when the roll is called out yonder In February of '67. "Reapportionment, now widely regarded as good as here, will take a big whack. The Legion awfully powerful in some areas and now bur ning mad, will get in many good licks at some legislat ors who voted to soften the Ban." "Just how strong is the Legion? This seems to be a question nobody can answer. How much does it hang to gether on Issues like the Ban, How Political is it. How much money, time, and effort will it put out to defeat these can didates?" First, I would like to point out that the American Legion is an organized group of Vet erans of World War I, World War II, and the Korean War :ho have fought, bled, and jjven their lives to serve their "ountry well under the Red, hite, and Blue of the Star ? pangled Banner; and who have associated themselves to ther " For God And iuntry." May it be known .so, that we stand one - _,dred per cent behind our ung men now serving in the , iet Nam War, and else where around the world to stop Com munist agression. As a Korean War Veteran and a Legionaire, I can't and don't believe in die way that many of our Politicians are doing in recognizing the Co mmunist Party in the United States and forcing such on us as American Citizens. We have served in the mil itary forces to protect our Country from just such Ag ression. We must be on the alert to Communism within our Nation and Government as well as to a possible attack from outside our Country. A Nation that is weak within cannot be strong without. To me, there is no diff erence in the Supreme Court ruling in favor of recognizing the Communist Party in the United States and letting them run for Congressional Offices in the next election than it would have been to recognize Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party in World War n. As fo. he Communist Spe aker Ban j-. ?? in North Car olina, 1 think it should not have been changed or amen ded. Had it not been needed, no doubt the General Assem bly amend the bill when they were in session this past spring? Evidently, they tho ught there was still a need for the law to remain unch anged. Pressure from our own state supported colleges and university began to be forced upon the Governor." Then the Southern A ssociation of Schools and Colleges applied more pressure by threaten ing to withdraw their accred iations if the law was not re pealed or changed. The Gov ernor had to call a special session of the General Asse mbly in hopes that the law would be amended. Under the Governor's pressure, the Legislators did vote to amend the Speaker Ban Law. Placing the responsibilities oI spe akers to the Board of Trus tees at the various colleges. We are not back to where we started from when the Communist Speaker Ban Law was first introduced. Why did the colleges and universities permit this to happen? Can they be trusted to keep the same thing from happening again? Only time and close watchfulness will tell. Many times it seems our politicians forget who elected them to office. It was us, the voting citizens of North Car olina who elected our Honor able Governor. It was also the citizens who elected our Hon orable Representatives and Senators to the State General Assembly. These are supp osed to be men and women of knowledge and understanding and willing to listen to the voice of those people they re present. We would like to say "THANK YOU" in our apprec iation to Mrs. Mary FayeBru mby and the other FEW Leg islators who stood firm against the amendment to the Communist Speaker Ban Law. At the Baptist StateConven tion in Charlotte a few days ago, our ownBaptist Denomin ation went on record and made it publicly known that they opposed to the Ku Klux Klan Organization in this State. Yet, they refused to introduce their proposal to ban Communists from speaking at the Baptist CoUeges. WHY? (Be it known that I am not a member of the Ku Klux Klan, nor do 1 have any aff iliation with this Organizat ion.) However, I do wish to quote one paragraph from their pamphlet' 'An Introduction To i The Knights of the Ku Klux I Klan", I quote: "BE it known, that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was YESTERDAY, is TODAY and will FOREVER be opposed to Communism in any form and to its fellow travelor organizations. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan will fight to our last breath, using every means at our dis posal to rid our country of this insidious plague of man kind." Is the Ku Klux Klan, the Veteran Organizations, and a few patriotic citizens the only ones fighting Communism within the United States? For what reason is the Federal Government trying to condemn the Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Khrushchev once made mention of the fact that they would bury the people in Am erica without ever firing a .gun. With events happening as they are, could this be true? I believe it would be good for all of us as American Citizens, including officials of our Federal and State Gov ernments to renew our Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States, to read and study the American Creed,the Declaration of Independance and the Constitution of the United States. To rededicate our lives to God and Country. To the American Way of Life, Freedom and Democracy. Communism is advocated to the overthrow of the United States Government. WAKE - UP!" American Citizens. "ARISE!", help to hold high the Torch of Liberty. A symbol that may shine forth over the entire world to let others know that America is still the Land of Freedom and Opportunity. Which will it be with YOU, AMERICANISM OR COM MUNISM? - Dee Whin sharp NOTICE To The Residents of Andrews Western Carolina Telephone Co. will be testing the new Fire \ Alarm System retently installed in Andrews.

Santa, In Bristol Spooks To ANDREWS - The Andrews Rotary Club met Tuesday at the Shell Diner for it's reg ular weekly meeting. Business was limited to plans for three of the club's fund raising programs: the "Dime Board" which will be on the streets of Andrews the next two week ends, the fruit cake sale, and the Dec. 18th Turkey Shoot at the airport. Of much greater interest to the club members on this particular evening was the guest speaker, a local "Boy makes good" in baseball. The club was honored to have Dave Bristol as its speaker. As nearly everyone in Andrews knows, Dave has just comple ted his second successful year as manager of the San Diego "Padres . Dave finished well up with his team in one of these years and won the Penant for the Pacific Coast League in the other year. His success led to serious consideration as the new manager of theCinci natti Reds of the American League. We in Andrews think it was a mistake not to choose Dave, however the manage ment of the "Reds" recognize his leadership qualities and have appointed him to hold the extremely critical position of "third baise coach" during the coming season.
