Naomi was rapidly. going

visit the specialists who pre-

more for her. When she paid her

not even an operation could pre-

TRAGIC REBEL STRATEGY

TRAGIC REBEL STRATEGY
THE NEWS THAT Cuban rebels are putting the
torch to cane and tobacco fields as part OF the plan TO
overthrow President Batista is nothing short OF tragic.
While it is true that these extreme moves may result
in the overthrow of the Batista government, the ends
certainly do not jutisfy the means.
REVOLUTION HAS its place, but revolution, un-
less planned effectively and devoted to high motives
can result in tragedy. The American Revolution is the
notable exception in which a people revolted, fought
for what they wanted, won, and yet did not at one and.
the same time surrender one type OF freedom Tor
another. Russia, the last of the big, national revolutions,
is the rule rather than the exception. The people OF Rus
STA overthrow the cars but in their place acquired
Stain. Now an entire people know no freedom, have no
Individual value, and are completely subjected to a
small, tight, powerful little group OF members OF the
Communist party.
IN CUBA SOME 5000 acres of cane, the reports.
saw, have been burned. This is equivalent to l25,OOOI
tons worth nearly two million dollars. Who gains from,
this? Nobody. The rebels will probably come one step
closer to their objective Of overthrow, but by and large
the entire island will be the loser.
ORDINARILY, N nation does not interfere in
the internal affairs Of another, and SO the United States
can only watch and wait, and hope that things will go
well inside Cuba. That does not, however, prevent fair
minded and logical comment.
CUBA NEEDS ALL its crops for export because
only in this way can it survive. 1t would seem as II some
other method, less wasteful and destructive OF human
life and property might be exercised to serve the same
purpose. And, regardless of which side wins, the great
masses of the Cuban people will in the end suffer be
cause Of the application Of the torch.

School Notes
BY HELEN EVANS

Hello readers, I'm sorry I've
missed few weeks, SO I'll try
to catch up now.
Tuesday morning a student coun-
Gil meeting was held with our
new social studies teacher and
student council advisor, Mr..
Craddock. Their regular meet
ing date was changed to avoid
interference by every pupil tests
given on Wednesday.
Tuesday nights basketball
game at Charlottesville had to be
postponed until Feb. 4 because
of heavy snow that fell during
the afternoon. There also was
no school Wednesday because of
the bad road conditions caused
by the snow.
Every pupil tests were given
on Thursday and l noticed every
members worked very hard get
ting the tests scored and COM
pleted Friday, and now and then
some pleased or troubled looks
appeared on pupils faces as they
learned their scores.
A Hot Rod club, called the
Dragons was started recently by
the boys of this vicinity. They
would like very much to have
any new members that would be
interested in this type of activity.
The purpose of the club is to
promote safer driving and be
helpful and courteous to other
drivers. The qualifications for
becoming a member are: you
must be 16 years of age or over,
you must have drivers license,
and you must have access to a
car. Anyone wishing to join the
club must come to the meetings
held at 700 every Thursday
night at Kemp's Store building
in Macksburg.

that Russia ordered fun speed

the United States stressed Inter
mediate Range Ballistic Missiles.
We reached our objective ahead
of Russia. We have several types
of missiles, each capable of carry
ing atomic or hydrogen Warheads,
from 1900 to 1000 miles We have
hundreds of bases from which
they can be launched to strike
important Russian centers.
Russia, having no such bases,
concentrated on development of
a missile capable of travelling
5000 miles or more The only sur
prise to our military officials is that
she developed the ICBM sooner
than we figured she would.
No missile, whatever the range,
is much good unless you can de-
liver it where you want it. Our
experts think Russia would have
difficulty in hitting within Is miles
Of the target, using the 5,ooo-mile
ICBM.
We, on the other hand, know
that we can be practically "on
target" with our 1,5O0-mile guided
missiles. And. we probably could
deliver at least 20 of them for
every ICBM that Russia could
drop on us.
We have bases capable of
launching the IRBM in Germany
England, France, Italy, Saudi
Arabia, Libya. Morocco, Alaska,
Korea, Japan and Formosa. I'M

pect would be made available in
case of attack are located IN

much destructive capacity as was
delivered by all of the bombers
in all the years OF World War II
combined" the President said.
But the B-52 will soon be sue
ceeded by the B-58, a supersonic
bomber.
Russia, at present, has no ade-
quate defense against our fast
bombers. We, on the other hand,
have built three great rings of
defense to the north of us, the
route Russian planes would have
to travel over the North Pole TO
reach u. S. cities.
Our military strategists concede
that some enemy bombers very
probably would get through our
defense. But they insist that we
can-and Russia knows We can
hit her much harder than she
could possibly hit US. That knowl-
edge is our best assurance that
Russia does not plan to start q
war soon.
