Recently, the United Nations by a
vote of 62 to 26 decided to add the
question of Southern Rhodesia to the
agenda of it's sixteenth session. The
vote was significant in that it demon
strated once again that the African
Asian nations and tribes within the
United Nations are in complete control.
This group first demonstrated its
strength in November of 1860, when it
decide to fight the election of Portugal.
The second demonstration came in
October of 1861, when these so-called
new nations spent their fury on Eric
Louw, the South African Foreign Min
lister, when they passed a resolution
that censored both South Africa and it's
delegate.
Many other instances can be cited to
show the responsibility of the control
now exerted in the U. N.
The United States and the western
nations are providing the major por-
ton of the financial support of the
United Nations and the worthwhile pro-
jects which it pursues. The United
States and the western nations are
needed to enforce any decision that the
United Nations decides upon. When
ever responsibility and power are Sc
parated, chaos, confusion and idiocy re-
suit.
How foolish can the great nations of
the world become? Where will irrespon-
sible idealism of impractical zone
w%orlders' lead this great nation the
United States of America?
The time has come when American
citizens and taxpayers shou+d-survey
the present situation and make up their
minds whether they will be mice or
men,"

Double Check

AS l come to the end OF the
trail, I find it hard to put into
words that will express my feel
ings to you readers of this col
umn 49,. but as you know every
thing comes to an end sometime.
Well, folks, this is it. Somebody
else will be coming to you in this
space from now on. It Is with
deepest regrets that I have to
say adieu to you from Maine to
California and from Ohio to the
Atlantic but this is just too
much for me. So something had
to give and the boom falls on
me. I wish to thank the Editor
for his extreme kindness in
the uncensored publication of
DOUBLE CHECK and I
thank each of you who set the
type that made it possible to get
this column in the greatest OF
all papers twice-a-week, The
FARMVILLE HERALD.
l will miss the pleasure of get
ting close to your mind with
events as l see them. Your COM
ments have always been a great
inspiration to me when ever you
saw fit to comment you
agreed too easy. So I am leaving
you to other commentators. May
God Bless and keep you in line
for the great future you are
promised in the World events
that are to take place.
I thank you for reading and
ask that you follow my success
sor more closely than you did
my writing.
Yours at this ending Of

Editors Note: Nobody can

~. Marvin Brown. Nobody can
write Double Check. But this is
not the end of Double Check. Mr..
Brown will still write from time
to time as the spirit" moves
him. and we hope, as do u
many readers, that the spirit
will move him often.
Double Check" has written
this column for well nigh so
years. He started it in the Farm
vile Leader somewhere about
1912. He was a great friend of
the editor, l.. c. Martin. Il be-
gan the column for no reason at
all, just to help out an old friend.
the editor, and to give the people
maybe something in the news
that they may have missed
When the Leader was COM
bined with The Herald in 1884,
Double Check continued to write.
and when The Herald became a
semiweekly in 1913, Double
Check. began his pithy column in
both editions.
Herald readers have enjoyed
Double Check always, and when
it is not in the Herald you will
miss it, but we are glad that
Double Check is just getting
from under the pressure of pro-
ducing two columns a week and
will still write when the spirit"
moves.
To our readers: Watch for the
spirit"

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO
RESPONSIBLE RELATIVES

If you have an older relative in your
family, we know how much it can mean
to give loved one this kind of security
and peace of mind. Many of you will
want to "close the door" against the threat
of heavy costs of medical care by giving
one or more of these policies to relative
and make the premium payments for him
or her. It's wise and wonderful idea.
Just fill out the enrolment blank and in.
dictate where the premium notices are to
be sent.
Income Tax Note: If you declare parent
or relative as a dependent on your Federal
Income Tax, your payments of premiums for
this health insurance are lOO9o tax deductible.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-03

RESERVE has a "deductible" feature that
works very much the same as the ''deductible"
feature used in auto collision insurance. Each
calendar year after you, or 65.PLUs, or any
other basic plan you may have, has paid the
first $500 of eligible expenses, the 10000
RESERVE plan goes into effect and pays 1870
of all further eligible expenses during that
calendar year up to a lifetime maximum of
$4,000. Then, after any proven continuous
6-month period without treatment, you are
eligible again for another $4,000 in benefits.
As you can see, the 10000 EsERvE plan in
no way conflicts with any basic plan you may
now have. 1t is the perfect companion"
policy to add to any basic plan.

of senior citizens now have this protection.
IO,OOO-RESERVE is for the big bills
The l0,0O0-REsERvE plan is designed to
offer protection against the really big expenses
that stretch far beyond the limits of basic
plans. The broad benefits of l0,0O0-REsERvE
face the reality of today's medical bills that
can easily amount to thousands of dollars.
1t offers new security against expenses that
could wipe out a lifetime savings or make it
necessary to turn to loved ones for money
rather than accept charity.
