Hlra ’ 3 I WASHINGTON t>:em wo o-w* BY A VOTE of 43 to 36 the United States Senate has taken the incredible action of author izing the President to give for eign aid to Communist satellite countries. It is impossible to reconcile this vote with the clear provi nnnr;" ± C Cl r»z»4-i nn sion of Section 3, Article 111 of the Consti । tution of the I United States : which defines i treason as i “giving ... aid and comfort” | to the coun- 'A. * try’s enemies. While no one would dispute the sincerity of the motives of the President and those Senators who advocated this step, their reasoning that the United States can fight Com munism on the one hand and aid it on the other hand is wholly beyond comprehension. It com pletely ignores the harsh reality of the cold, and often hot, war in which we have been engaged for 16 years now against a ruth less enemy who has boasted to the world that he will destroy us through our own stupidity. ALL MEN OF compassion are saddened about the plight of the enslaved people of East ern Europe. The suffering of the brave Hungarians, the hardy Poles and the other resolute lovers of freedom who are trapped behind the Iron Curtain is a constant reminder to all fortunate enough to live in the Free World of the high stakes in the continuing international struggle. .

Vacation Bible Friday, June 2 Information Given On Home Freezers By County HD Agent By Virginia Raulerson Is your Home Freezer keeping Zero Degrees or lower? This is of special importance to the owners of Home Freezers. At this time of the year when so many vegetables are being put into the freezer it is harder to keep the temperature low, and the fast freeze is most im portant for these foods to keep their quality. Research has shown that the vegetables lose their quality in relation to the temperature of the Home Freezer according to the following: 0 degrees F. —1 year. 5 degrees F. — 6 months. 10 degrees F — 3 months. 15 degrees F. — 6 weeks. 20 degrees F. — 3 weeks. 25 degrees F. — 10 days. 30 degrees F. — 5 days. If the freezer is not as low as Zero degrees turn the adjust ment on your freezer to colder until the thermometer registers zero degrees. If you do not know how to adjust the temperature, look at the book which came with your freezer, and if you cannot find the book, consult your dealer who sold your freezer to you. You may check your freezer yourself with a thermometer which you hang on a wire rack or which hangs on the wall and has the cord with the piece which fits in the freezer. With the later type the freezer does not have to be opened to read the temperature. Bookmobile Schedule Announced for County The Bookmobile schedule for Brantley County has been an nounced as follows: Monday, June 5: Hoboken, Schlatterville, Pleasant Valley. Tuesday, June 6: Riggins Com munity, Hickox, Nahunta. Wednesday, June 7: Hortense, Twin River, Raybon. Thursday, June 8: Waynesville, Atkinson, Lulaton. would alleviate their physical and spiritual hardships, there could be no question about ex tending it with openhanded gen erosity. But the hard fact of the matter is that foreign aid is a government-to-govemment proposition and aid extended to the Communist satellites not only will not help their subject people but worse will give their masters resources with which to forge their chains even tight er. The principle involved is the same as that which prompted the United States to cease pur chasing sugar from Cuba. It was an act calculated not to hurt the Cuban people but rather one to deny their Communist dicta tors the funds with which to en trench their totalitarian regime. » * * SINCE THE END of World War II the United States has added almost S9O billion to its debt to give assistance to 104 different nations. Despite that tremendous effort on the part of the American people the Com munist onslaught has continued unabated. The poor return we have received on that invest ment certainly offers no hope that w’e can recoup our losses by making additional outlays to the Communist governments which already have been lost to our side. The only apt analogy to the Senate’s action of which I can think would be to liken it to taking up a collection among the widows and orphans of po licemen slain in the line of duty to buy more ammunition for gangsters. Brantley Enterprise Walter B. Grable Funeral Service Was Held Monday Funeral services were held from the graveside in Raulerson Cemetery Monday afternoon, May 29, at three o’clock for Mr. Wal ter Brook Grable, 73, a former resident of Nahunta and Brantley county, who passed away at his residence in Atlanta late Friday night, May 26, following an ex tended illness, with the Rev. Alvin Williamson conducting the rites in the presence of a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends. Mr. Grable was born in Green wood, Mississippi and was the son of the late Bedford and Alice Shipp Grable. He received his ed ucation in the Greenwood schools and was a member of the Christ ian Church. For the past seventeen years he had been a resident of Atlanta where, until declining health forced his retirement, he had been engaged as an Elevator Operator. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Letty Manning Grable of Atlanta; six daughters, Mrs. Opal Langdon and Mrs. Horace Laney, both of Greenville, Miss.; Mrs. Eura Lindsey and Mrs. Ruby Rushing, both of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Mrs. Floyd Warren of Winter ville, Miss., and Mrs. Hoyt Den son of Shaw, Miss.; four sons, Edward Grable and Felton Grable, both of Atlanta, Otis Grable of Denver, Colorado, and J. W. Grable of Greenville. Miss.; one brother, Work Grable of Mandras, Oregon. Twenty-two grandchildren also survive. Serving as pallbearers were Messrs. R. T. Rowell, Durell Brown, Edgar Morgan, K. H. Hamil Jr., Alex Strickland, and Elvin Strickland. The many beautiful floral of ferings attested to the esteem felt for the deceased. The family have the sympathy of their many friends in their bereavement. The Chambless Funeral Home of Nahunta was in charge of ar rangements. Crop Outlook Discussed by George Loyd By George A. Loyd County Agent In traveling over the county within the past few days, I find that crop conditions are some what improved over what they were some two weeks ago. It seems that in a good bit of the early planted corn the stand is not as good as farmers would like, and wire worm de mage has been greater than in most years past, but most all corn is making good growth now, and the outlook for a good corn crop is better. The tobacco situation likewise has improved. Most of the to bacco is spreading out, and top ping out higher and with more leaves than it looked at one time that it would have. The recent rains have done much to improve these condi tions. However, there has been too much rain in a few areas of the county and some of the to bacco was injured in these areas. Tobacco harvesting is getting underway this week as several farmers started pulling the lugs from their crop. Another observation that has been made is that tobacco di seases seem more prevelent this I year than in most years past, which is probably due to the [ cool weather conditions this spring being more favorable to diseases. Pastures, livestock and gar dens are generally good, and if favorable conditions exist for the remainder of the growing and harvesting season, it looks now that Brantley County farmers will produce fair to good crops, but yields will be somewhat less than the record yields pro duced last year.
