seven bedroom five and One-half

Would love to see the completed
project with the 20 by 40 foot
swimming pool and the reported
ten stalls for the horses and
Macaroni. Five different swimming
pool companies have offered to
take over that part of the con-
struction free, gratis, but their Of

announced that President Kennedy
gives all his salary to charity so
what is a mere $4,000 for pool

ENGLISH HISTORY


During the past summer, / have
been reading a most complete his
tory of England. 1t consists of Z
volumes and about six thousand
pages. 1t is entitled THE PIC
TORIAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND,
published by w. and R. Chambers
of London, England, about 1850.
The story consists of continual
crises, beginning with the year 56
B. c.. AS one reads these volumes,
he thinks that England could not
possibly last more than a hundred
years. The serfs we're continually
fighting to get little property and
freedom, while those who inherited
their property lived in great
castles. The conflict, however, was
much the same as today.
From my reading of history /
see no possibility of either Democ-
racy or Communism being wiped
out. Both will be suppressed at
certain times in certain nations,
but will rise up again in other ma
tions. Whether, in the final
analysis, it will be the same old
struggle with each group alter
nately becoming stronger, or
whether the two groups will grad
uaIly merge by becoming more
alike, no one can tell.
EAST VERSUS WEST
AT present, the Communist ma
tions consist of Russia, China, and
their satellites, with India more or
less on the fence. These Com
munist countries are controlled by
Dictators and hence are more eff
ficient in time of war whether
cold or hot) than are the Demo-
cratic nations.
The Dictators of these countries

Dear Friends:
Yesterday, the 18th, I drove to
Friendship Airport outside o f
Baltimore to take Hayes to meet
a commercial airliner that would
take him to New Mexico on busi-
ness Before we arrived here | be-
lieve Hayes had only been on a
commercial flight once before, but
since his arrival here he has really
gotten acquainted with the coffee,
tea or milk" bit!
This weekend Du1las Airport
will open and it will be much
easier for us to go there Jet
flights will begin operating from
this field on Monday. It's quite a
few miles west of where We live,
but it still will not be the distance
we travel now to Friendship. Am
anxious to see this new airport
with its new innovations One that
I'm particularly fascinated with is
part of the terminal Passengers
sit in a mobile waiting room that
adjoins the main terminal. When
it. is near take-off time the wait

show a large room on wheels

ance. That's a pretty slick trick.

OUR PROPAGANDA

David Lawrence points out truth that
should be studied in the new light of what
almost happened in Cuba. 1t is that
propaganda effort, our effort to penetrate
the Iron Curtain and tell the Soviet people
what is really going on, what the Soviet
Government is really doing, is feeble one.
Instead of policy of aggressive pene-
tration with the blunt truth, beamed to
every corner of Russia in massive techni-
cal effort, the United States has in recent
years (stretching back into the Eisenhower
ADMINISTRATION has instead followed a
policy of restraint.
In such crises, policy of restraint, on
the part of our Voice of America, and Radio
Free Europe, etc. does not seem in the ma
tion's best interests. The argument, which
has prevailed in recent years, that we
should not aggrevate Moscow and embitter
relations, loses its force when we see Nikita
Khrushchev make his Cuban gamble and
then back down and the Russian people are
not told-by anyone effectivelyLwhat real
ly took place. -
Our new firmness in resisting the at
tempt to intimidate us from Cuba, should
be coupled with new forceful policy of
bringing the truth to the Russian people
and the people in satellite countries.

HELPING INDIA

The United States is moving to meet
India's request for arms aid as the Chinese
and Indians continue to battle for Indian
territory being seized by an invading Red
Chinese army.
And, of course, most Americans would
agree that we must aid India-even if only
because she is fighting the most highly :
populated Communist country in the world,
and the most lawless
But in doing so, we may be able to help
resolve the dispute between Pakistan a n
India over Kashmir. The United Nations
has sided with Pakistan in this dispute, to
an extent, and India refuses to go along
with U. N. recommendations.
In fact, India has kept much of her
armed forces on the Pakistan border And
the United States has provided Pakistan
with considerable military aid - Pakistan
being solid ally and not an appeasing
neutral
Now India is in desperate need of mill
tary support. Pakistan fears that when and
If we send India massive support, this will
enable the Indians once the Chinese
border fighting is over for the winter - to
bring great pressure to bear on Kashmir.
1t would seem that Washington should
ask an assurance that these new arms will
not be used by neutralist India against our
faithful ally Pakistan.

USE YOUR MIND

How many friends do you know who
talk for talks sake? Can you listen carefully
to many people and conclude they are really
trying to think through things and make
intelligent comments?
In other words, when we discuss issues
or topics of the day, do we attempt to un-
derstand both sides and look into the facts
even if that takes an effort or do we just
jump to conclusion or say something that
will be popular or that will provoke
laugh?
Real thinkers are always valuable assets
to community but they are - All too often
rare. 1t is easily to slip into the habit of loose
talk and loose thinking, or lazy thinking.
The individual who trains himself to
hold his tongue, and who thinks about what
he is going to say carefully, before he says
it, will soon gain both knowledge and re-
spect in his community, among his asso-
ciates.
The freedom to dissent, to think for one
self, is heritage dear to all of us. We were
not in the beginning nation of sheep; we
are not today. This is because there have
always been Americans who think for
themselves, who use their minds indepen-
IDENTIFY, which helps keep this nation strong
and prevents corruption and despotism
In our community we must tolerate op-
posing views and the opinions of those who
differ with us. We must, literally, oppose
those with whom we disagree with all our
energy, but we must, likewise, defend their
right to disagree. Disagreements and vigor-
Gus differences of opinions in politics, &C.
onomics, local government, civic improve
ment and in other fields is healthy sign
that people are thinking.
Intelligent people can disagree perhaps
about almost everything-without bel n g
personal or anything personal being involv-
ed. This is the test-and a sign-of matur-
ity and wisdom, and democracy at work.

OUR BASES ABROAD

Now that President John Kennedy has
forced Nikita Khrushchev to dismantle his
rocket and missile bases in Cuba, we C a n
expect loud campaign for the dismantling
of u. S. bases in various parts of the world.
1t is true that u. S. bases were located
in ring around the Soviet Union. They
were especially vital to our security at a
time when we had no intercontinental mis-
siles and the Soviets already had operating
ICBM's.
Today some of the bases are not as i'm
portant as they were. Others will be dis
mantled because the countries in w h c h
they are located have asked us to get out
This is the case in Morocco and in Saudi
Arabia.
1t is also true in England, where we had
a number of intermediate-range missiles.
The British have asked that we remove
these and we have agreed to do so and by
1864 they will be gone. The British by then
Will have a nuclear strike capability of their
own.
Certainly, though, there could be no
greater mistake than for us to agree to any
wholesale reduction of our military bases
abroad until the world situation has dras-
tically changed.
1t may even be possible for us to dis
mantle additional bases as our intercortin-
entail and PolarisS missile strength steadily
grows. This will give us good bargaining
position, from which we can attempt to
bring about concessions from Russia.

FAT PEOPLE AND RESTRAINT
All of us have heard people remark that
fat people would not be fat if they showed
more restraint at the table Many people
view overweight acquaintance as friends
displaying little will power or self discip-
line.
And while this may be true in some
cases a group of researchers looking into
the problem of obesity reported recently
that overweight persons often eat no more
and exercise equally as much as those who
remain trim
Different people burn up calories at a
different rate and some gain weight on a
certain diet while others-on the same
diet-lose weight. One doctor who is a men,
ber of the panel of researchers studying
this problem, Dr. Albert L. Stunkard, says
a comparison of fifty overweight girls
with girls of normal weight showed the over
weight girls ate no more and exercised as
much as those of normal weight.
Thus the overweight friend may not be
a glutton, may not lack will power or self
control. His or her engine perhaps does
not function normally, so that it burns eff
ficiently the fuel (food) taken in.
"Fatso," then, may not be the uncon-
trolled eater some think. In many cases, of
course, he or she is fat because too much
food is shoveled down the hatch But it is
not always this = and so we should not
jump to conclusions

BABSON DISCUSSES CRISES

k Babson Park, Mass, November
Is. The Cuban situation is featured
in the news as a great crisis" |
think, however, that all news to-
day must be discounted somewhat
because of the competition be-
tween the various news media. The
newspapers have to come out with
an edition on schedule, while radio
and television grind out material
for eighteen hours daily. Owing to
the fact that these newer methods
of communication get tremendous
income from advertising in con-
nection with these n w a S t S,
probably twenty per cent of the
news has to be manufactured and
certainly much of it is ex-
aggerated. Therefore, anything
called a crisis today should be dis
counted.
THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN
THOSE WHO HAVE AND THOSE
WHO HAVE NOT
1t seems as if this struggle all
started with Cain and Abel, and
has continued throughout the ages.
A reading of the Old Testament
shows how crises constantly de-
veloped in Persian, Babylonian,
Egyptian, and Roman \ h / s t ory.
Whatever change has occurred in
military warfare, there seems to
have been no change. in human
nature.
Furthermore, each nation has it's
cycle. Those who are at the bot
tom gradually come to the top;
then power and wealth deteriorate
and they go back to the bottom
again. Even the stock market has
its cycles. Moody counts ten of
these from the time our battleship

Presbyterian Churches in Buck

The teaching staff. led by the
Rev. Lundy Barclay. Of Lynch
burg, included Mrs. Tom Nash
Mrs. Virginia Saver and Miss
Nancy Cunningham. Glasses
were held from $3.50 to $50 for
two Sunday evenings.
This series of classes was
meant to be a trial effort in
bringing leaders hip education to
these smaller local churchs
Many of the churches in the
Presbytery were too far away
to participate in the leadership
education program.
Other groups of churches IL
terested in having such schools
are urged to contact Rev. Lundy
