Miller Urges
Scrutiny Of
Vote Pattern
By the Associated Press

Republican National Chair
William E. Miller has asked the
Presidents Commission on Reg
istration and Voting Participa-
ton to examine "the obstacles
to the development Of a two
party system" in the South.
Democratic domination Of
the political process in South
ern States partly accounts for
a poor turnout on election day,
Mr.. Miller said in a letter to
Commission Chairman Richard
M. Scammon released yester-
day.
1t is a national embarrass-
ment," Mr.. Miller said, that
more than one-third of Ameri-
cans Of voting age failed to
register and vote in the 1860
presidential election and that
more than half failed to 60 to
the polls in 1862.
He also suggested that the
commission examine over-regis-
tration. The Republican Ma
tional Committee has found
that In many counties the num-
Der Of persons registered to vote
exceeds the voting age popula-
ton, Mr.. Miller said.
He added this is true Of the
entire State of West Virginia
and that in Polk County, North
Carolina, there are 1855 regis
tered white voters for every 100
white adult residents.
Finally, Mr.. Miller urged the
commission to study the prob
lem of vote fraud. "The value
of a campaign to persuade the
potential voter to go to the
polls is completely negated If
his vote is stolen after he gets
there" Mr.. Miller said.
THE commission could per-
form no greater service to the
Nation than to investigate a
problem which is a national
disgrace to the worlds greatest
democracy"

BEAUTY IN FLOWERS
A Strong Line
With CoIors
BY MRS. HERBERT n. cREeER

A strongly linear piece of knot
weed dominates the design in
this arrangement. 1t presents
vertical, horizontal and diagonal
directions. 1t Is angular as well
as curved and shows a variety
Of diameters. Looking at the
black and white photograph,
you will be hard pressed to be-
ieve that there is strong COM
petition in eye appeal through
color. The single flowere d
geranium clusters, the tall con-
tainer and the geranium foliage
combine into the strong attrac-
tivene ss Of a triadic color
scheme.
Believe me, the purple con-
tainer holds the brightest, red
orange flowers. The other,
secondary color is, Of course,
the green Of the leaf. Triads or
three-color combinations are al
ways forceful and often quite
shocking. Each color S t a n d S
separate and quite unrelated to
the others. Combinations Of the
primary red, blue and yellow or
of the secondary orange, green
and purple are harsh whenever
they are used in equally full
chroma and perhaps even in
equal amounts.
In this arrangement however,
the gaily colored geraniums are
t e m pere d with strong white
markings in each blossom GEN.
ter. The purple Of the container
is softened to a gray tone and
the green leaves are muted by
a dull surface and S strongly
creased texture. ALI three colors
combine into a gay but softly
pleasing harmony since they
have not been use d full
strength. It still remains a very
exciting combination.
We all react differently to color.
A bright color or combination
Of color may stimulate one
and give a headache to another.
Too many people are content
with and tolerate almost ifeless
combinations or they simply
follow fashion. aFShion dictates
preferences and boosts one or
two preferred colors at a time.
Then everyone appears In cram
berry red or tobacco brown
from head to toe. OF course,
these trends make us aware Of
the immense variety Of combin-
atoms and we have become more
appreciative If not acutely ex-
cited about color. -...
Well, altogether, In line as
well as in color the arrange
ment is daring, no doubt about

it. It is a linear expression Of
motion, Of action. It also has a
powerful attraction through a
subdued exuberance Of color
W hic h is accomplished with
Light and dark, with pattern and
rounded forms.
The backbone Of the picture Is
the strong line. With its dash,
this single lofty line focuses
attention to itself. It's spOnta-
neous echo appears near the
container and completes the bal
ance in the allotted space. With
surprisingly sharp angles the
curve tapers into a horizontal
position. A repeat Of this direc-
ton is stated at the lower right
side.
l am sure you realize that this
is only one application of a
structural fact and that you
have unlimited possibilities to
experiment with curves. With
each selection your arrange
ment will have a different ap-
proach. A change in directional
emphasis, a different distribu-
ton of mass against line, even
another color can change one
and the same rigid line into q
totally different design.

ConuI Skiing Mixed

The Federal Government has
banned night water-skiing on
the Panama Canal.
Jackson advocate., 1963-12-21

The lack of morality and integrity stems from
false sense of values. Many persons are so pre-
occupied with sefishness and greed they no longer
know-nor care for that matter-where honor stops
and dishonor commences. Others are simply con-
fused. Naturalization and double standards have
so clouded some moral principles that right and
wrong are no longer clearly distingushable.
Moral retrogression is not confined to any one
group or sector of country This social illness
is universal. immortality rears it's ugly head in
every American institution and profession None
is free from its stigma. 1t is reflected equally as
much in cooperative pricefxing in teen-age van
dalsm; in payoffs to politicians as in classroom
cheating; in sports world briberies as in law en-
forcement Scandals and in income tax returns pad
ding as in voting frauds
immortality itself is not the only danger of the
crisis. Some theorists suggest moral standards
be scrapped for less restrictive code by which
moral derelictions can be justified. Such think
ing is flight from responsibility and an accelerant
to further moral decandence If the destruction of
great Nation itself were the goal of these advo-
Gates, they could not devise a. better means to
achieve it.
With the approach of the joyous Holiday Sea-
son, let God-loving people shoulder our moral
responsibilities, not flee from them. Let us stand
proud and erect, champions all, for morality, in
tegrity and godness. Let us assure that it may
always be said of our country America is great
because she is good"
Jackson advocate., 1963-12-21
Christmas 1868

In the little town of Bethlehem 1868 wears ago
Christ was born and the Wise Men proclaimed his
birth as the herald of Peace and goodwill among
men OF earth; and ere long Roman Catholic Pope
set aside December 25th the day following the end
of the baseness and debauchery of the Roman Sat-
urnalia, to celebrate the birth of Christ and en-
phaslze the superior worth of the Christian ethic
over Roman Paganism; thus what we know now
as Christians was born, to become the most sacred
holiday of Christianity
The United States made it's entry upon the
world scene as Christian nation, but despite SUI
perior worth of the Christian ethic and the herald
of peace and goodwill among men of earth pro-
claimed in the birth of Christ, there has never
been another period in the history of this country
even during the trying years of the Civil War
when there was the confusion mistrust, hate and
fear that is abroad in the nation as it comes to
celebrate Christmas 1868.
In view of existing conditions in the nation at
this time we pass on to our readers letter from
j. Edgar Hoover, Head of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, written this week to the law enforce
ment officers of the nation.
Mr.. Hoover's letter follows:
ARE WE AMERICANS ASHAMED to be iden-
titled today with decency and morality? Are we
forsaking the time-tested principles upon which
our great country was founded for substandard
more accommodating code of conduct?
There appears to be preponderance of evil
dence to indicate truthful reply to these questions
has to be in the affirmative. However, here true
answer is the wrong" answer and it is high time
righteous, freedomloving people take closer look
at what is happening to our moral standards
Morality is one of the more perplexng and
controversial problems facing our Nation. Why?
Primarily it is because of individual and collective
moral cowardice on the part of our society," We
do not have the courage to stand in conflict with
the mad rush for material wealth, indulgence, and
social prestige We are condoners and appeasers
of practice which we distrust and disapprove but
which we will not overty oppose

"T certainly am, and I am

Suddenly the day seemed

Merry Christmas, precious little

said as I put him down and he
