proud of seeing the pictures of
Betty Faith Jaynes and Arlene
Hargroves in the News last
week and to read of their ac
complishment in their chosen
field. Congratulation! girls
from all of us to you two.
Then as we looked on
through last week’s News we
learned of Mrs. Aubra Sher
wood’s accident. We are indeed
sorry about it and send Mrs.
Sherwood our sympathy and
sincere wishes for a speedy re
covery.
These above - mentioned
facts brings to mind an article
that came my way recently on
newspapers and citizenship and
If I may I would like to quote
la line - it makes one appreciate
the Covington News more. It
goes like this — “Things are
happening — locally, history is
being made and the hometown
newspaoer is the historian of
the community. It tells chapter
by chapter the story of the
population from birth to death”
—and so as we are meditating
on this fact, we are thinking of
Mr. and Mrs. Belmont Dennis,
who have labored so hard to
give Newton County the best,
I think, county paper in the
state. We hope these weeks
of rest and s hine will be
just the thine — them, for we
know that the 1 ’- heart and mind
is right back here in Newton
County.
Our sick list this week con
tains the name of Wayne Dos
ter, who is a patient at Emory
Hospital. Billy Carter is a sur
gical patient at Newton Hos
pital. Mrs. L. N. Webb contin
ues to be a patient at Newton
Lanier Chambers returned
home last Thursday from New
ton, after several days con
finement there.
This week's calendar is quite
full for a number of Salem peo
ple. Monday afternoon, Mrs.
Douglas Yancey attended a
planning meeting of the Home
monstration Club President
council members at the H.
gent’s Office in Covington,
day night will find Salem
well represented at the 4-H
Club banquet at the Ficquett
School. And this is to remind
all Salem H. D. Club members
to be sure and attend the H. D.
Club Dress Revue at the Le
gion Hall in Covington this
Friday, February 3 at 2:30 p.m.
On Saturday night, Pat Mc-
Cart will hold the spotlight in
Salem for that is the time that
she will be married to Edd

THE PROSPECTS FOR pre
serving freedom of debate in the
United States Senate are not quite
as dismal as the narrow margin
of the recent vote to send the
issue to the Rules Committee for
study would seem to indicate.
While a switch of two votes
could have resulted in rewriting
Senate Rules
o n the spot
last month, the
situation was
altered with
the change in
Ad ministra
tions. The dif
ference be
tween then and
now is Vice President Lyndon
Johnson who, when Senate Major
ity Leader, wrote the existing rule
requiring two-thirds of the Sen
ators voting to cut off debate and
specifying that debate on pro
posed rules changes is subject to
that requirement. Former Vice
President Richard Nixon, presid
ing as a “lame duck”, had an
nounced his intention, if given the
opportunity, to declare that rule
unconstitutional and to hold that
a majority of the Senators voting
could end debate on rules changes.
• * •
SINCE MR. NIXON did not get
a chance to establish a politically
expedient precedent that gag rule
could be imposed on the whim of
the Vice President and in view of
Vice President Johnson’s author
ship of the present rule on limi
tation of debate, there is good
reason to believe that, whatever
the Rules Committee may recom
mend, Senators who are opposed to
destroying the Senate’s vital role
as one of the checks and balances
of constitutional government will
have ample opportunity to talk
(nol prtfmnd or printed

Herbert Cooks and their daugh
ters, Sherry and Beth.
Sunday afternoon, Mr. and

the issue out before the country
when it comes up again.
It was obvious from last month's
vote that opponents of free debate
did not have sufficient strength to
write a majority cloture rule but
they were close to having a ma
jority for limitation of debate by
three-fifths of the Senators vot
ing. The fact that there is no con
stitutional basis or parliamentary
precedent for silencing Senators
by 60-per-cent vote gave added
strength to the argument that
serious study by the Rules Com
mittee was indicated and needed.
• • •
IN 1957 I had the honor to
serve as Chairman of a Special
Subcommittee which conducted
the most exhaustive hearings ever
held on this subject. I insisted on
getting opinion from the grass
roots and of the 132 individuals
and spokesmen for organisations
with national memberships heard
more than three-fourths were op
posed to any change in the rule
governing debate as then written
—a rule even more stringent than
the one now in effect.
It was my conclusion at that
time that the American people
recognize the United States Sen
ate as the last-remaining guard
ian of their liberty and their con
stitutional right to govern them
selves and they do not wish the
hands of their Senators tied in the
discharge of that solemn duty.
Nothing has happened in the in
tervening four years to indicate
any change in public sentiment
and citizens of all areas would be
well advised to so express them
selves to the Senators from their
States.
