For Spec Ing!e

ED. Note spec" Ingle, Lin
colntOn Junior student at Le-
noir Rhyme college was honor
cd as the colleges Personality
OF The Month for the month
of October. The following Per-
S0nality OF The Month article
on Inngle appeared in The Le-
noir Rhynean, student news
paper:)
Although his present activities
may not reveal such, our Person.
atty of the Month has some in
teresting experiences of marching
in his past. They began when a
small fourthgrader proudly sup
ported the big bass drum in his
high school band. He was decked
out in full uniform, with only a
smiling, freckled face shining as
a Speck among the marching
high-Schoolers. Then and there,
William Erwin Ingle was per-.
manently tagged with the nick
name of "SDeck."
After completing Lincolnton
High School and serving for two
years with the Physical Educa-
ton branch of the u. S. Army,
William Erwin came to Lenoir
Rhyme to begin his studies for
becoming a doctor. Today, he is
still better known by his old
nickname and that same "Speck"
has proved himself time and
again to be a well-qualified and
very popular person.
"Speck" is now a junior and
serves as v:ce-president of his
class. He is q charter member of
the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fratern-
lty. and has held several offices
Tor the organization during his
membership.
Although the members of the
football team may cal lit doctor
ing without a license" they'll al
ways agree that it's best to have
"Speck" around at his present
position of trainer.
If you don't know our Person.

now is in a turmoil. Yet. where else but
in Asia has mans religion been such
cornerstone of his life and government.
his culture and civilization? Cementing
the people Of Asia around common
goal, and so constructing a religious
dam against communism, Is alone
worth any effort.
In 1917 Lenin and his fellow travellers
arrived in Russia from worldwide
backgrounds. These men were not OF
the working class but intelligent. edu-
Gated, shrewd. with hearts Of cold steel,
with neither an inhibition nor q scruple,
among them. These men were cruel and
immoral. A man cannot be q MarxlSr
Communist without being traitor to
God.
In enSlaving almost half the worlds
peoples since 1917, the few men Of the
Kremlin have obtained the power to
educate half the worlds children. They
are educating these children without
belief in God Each generation win have
less knowledge of spiritual belief. FL
nally, there will come generation OF
children who will have neither knowl-
edge of God nor any spiritual belief.
They will be atheists. This development
men will fight against. To protect the
right Of their children to have knowl-
edge of God, they will stand together as
permanent, dedicated enemies Of Soviet
communism.
The philosophy Of the present-day
Communist Party stems from Karl
Marx. A quotation from Marx sums up
well the party's danger to religion:
"The people cannot be really happy
until it has been deprived Of illusory
happiness by the abolition Of religion"
Thus the party aims not at mere dis
tortion of religion, but at it's total dis
solution. This concept Is as dangerous
to one religion as another, be it Chris
tian, Moslem, Hindu, Hebrew or other.

principles behind the founding Of our

RELIGION Versus Communism

Hundreds Of millions Of people who
have a spiritual belief can now be
enlisted to construct . worldwide
spiritual dam. Once men have been
shown the danger Of Marxist-Leninism
to their spiritual belief, they can be
cemented into determined unity OF
resistance against Soviet engulfment. A
Joint resolution by Congress, reaflrm-
ing our foundation and firm. continued
stand on the freedom Of religion, Will
now make. The people Of all world re-
ligions would be brought to realize that
all our religious efforts are for their, as
well as our own beliefs.
All thinking people now realize that
we must use all the strength Of the free
world, not just part Of it. to halt univer-
sal engulfment by the Communists.
World events forcibly have impressed
every one with the necessity for increas-
ing free world military strength. No
one needs to be told that strength and
an empty stomach do not 60 together.
However, we have failed to consider the
overwhelming ferment Of mans spir-
itual belief. his greatest strength and
common tie with other men. Mans reli-
gious nature is Russia's greatest weak
ness, our strongest weapon. the single
goal which will cement men together.
There are over two billion people who
have faith in some form Of spiritual
belief. History has proven man to be
naturally and normally religious. At
tempts to prove that there are whole
peoples destitute Of religion never have
withstood the tests Of examination.
Moreover, the real depth Of a mans
spiritual feeling is much greater than
he himself often realizes. Once 1t has
been established In the minds OF men
that communism In any form is danger
GUS to their right to believe In God,
their determination to resist that
enemy will be permanent. Men then
will be essentially impregnable to COM
,nnunistic propaganda.

The Fother while on business trip,

who, regardless Of his
pronounced success in business, will be
long remembered chiefly for being
known as the father of golf in Amer
ica.' This was Robert Lockhart, ma
tive OF Scotland and a boyhood PLAYER
of the game In the land Of its antiquity.
Mr.. Lockhart, an ardent lover Of out
door exercise, had become skilled
tennis player during his middle life,
but when, in the '80s, the intense in
terest in that sport began to show
signs of waning, he bethought him of
his native sport of golf, and on his
next business trip to Scotland he visited
the grand old man Of Scottish golf,
Tom Morris, and secured from him two
sets Of clubs, which he brought to
America. He invited his neighbors to
an informal luncheon and set forth to
them the glorious qualities Of the game.
Then all hands took turns at swinging
1T the little white ball, with varying
success. Slowly the fever spread among
the members Of this little group and
additional sets Of clubs were imported
from Scotland. That was in 1873,
and marked the very beginning OF golf
in America. Doubtless eventually
