Open house today
The Armstrong County Com-
missioners are playing host to the
county today from 2 to 4 p.m.
This is your opportunity to enjoy
coffee and donuts and look over
the remodeling job just recently
completed.
The Commissioners are justly
proud of the new look and you
no longer run into that "gas"
smell that used to prevail in the
courthouse. In fact, those working
in the building say the difference
is tremendous.
The Commissioners are to be
congratulated for a nice job and
I plan to drink coffee with them
this afternoon.
Walter Rogers writes:
In response to a letter concern-
ing the possibility of closing down
the Western Union station here,
Congressman Walter Rogers gives
us the following information:
I was advised today by officials
of the Western Union Company
that, following my recent conver-
sations with them, telegraph ser-
vice will not be ended at Claude.
I know this will come as good

All accounts with The Claude News
Claude, Texas, are due at our of-
fice on or before the 10th of the
month following delivery of such
services and/or printing. No other
arrangements are authorized.
Any erroneous reflection upon the
character, standing or reputation
of any person, firm or corporation
that may appear in the columns
of The Claude News will gladly be
corrected upon it being brought to
the attention of the publishers.
In the case of errors in legal or
other advertising the publishers do
not hold themselves liable for da-
mages in excess of the amount
paid for such service.
All resolutions of respect, card of
thanks, publishing of church or
society functions, where admission
U charged, js classified as adver-
news to you. Western Union will
not agree with what apparently
was a railroad proposal to termin-
ate the service, although it was
pointed out to me that a certain
minimum level of business is
necessary to justify continuance
of any of these offices. I was told
that in the case of Claude a
volume of 25 to 40 messages a
month would be sufficient.
Medicare and you
Many old timers are going to
be sadly disappointed, when and
if Medicare becomes a fact.
Medicare in its present form
does not cover physician's bills or
dentist's bills. It does not pay for
needed drugs except when given
in a hospital or a nursing home.
It does nothing for those under 65
cxcept tax them heavily to pay
for it. Medicare is essentially a
hospitalization plan and even here
it is severely restricted. It would
pay the whole bill for only 45
days.
Even sadder is the fact that
Medicare will increase the tax on
the lower income group without
much effect on those in high in-
come. The maximum tax to be
paid is on the first $2,400 dollars.
Those making above that will pay,
and are able to pay, but those
making below $5,000 or less it will
only be an added burden they
will be forced to pay with doubt-
ful benefits later on.
Always an England?
I was quite interested in a re-
cent newspaper account which
showed the intimate thoughts of
both President and Mrs. Johnson
when they were going to meet
British Prime Minister Wilson.
The report stated Mrs. Johnson
told the President, "Remember,
today is judgement day, so use
some of it." Later President John-
son is reported to have told Mr.
Wilson, "All the time we were
talking the thought kept running
through my mind, 'There will al-
ways be an England ."
It is my sincere belief "there
will always be an England and
a United States." This belief
stilus from Scriptural prophecy
which shows the Anglo - Saxon -
Celetic people to be the descend-
ants of the ten lost tribes of
Israel of whom Christ told His
followers to go preach the gospel.
Lord Beaconsfield, a Jewish
scholar, once said, "History will re-
cognize the destiny of the British
Race, but history will never re-
cord its decline or fall. History
will say. THIS is the great, the
understanding people." You will
find a similar statement in Deu-
teronomy 4:6.
In II Samuel 7:10-16 we read
"And thine house and thy King-
dom shall be established for ever
before thee: thy throne shall be
established for ever," an indica-
tion that the British throne is
the throne of David and the one
Christ will take over when he
returns to earth. The Good Book
also points out "He (Solomon)
shall built an house for My Name
and I will establish the throne of
his Kingdom FOR EVER." If that
prophecy is correct, there must
be such a throne in existence in
the world today.
This new Israel of which Christ
and Paul spoke was to be above
all nations, Isa. 43:4; 60:12-12;
Mic. 7:16-17; Jer. 33:9.
Israel was to have great colonies
and become a company of nations,
Gen. 17:4, 6, 16, 16; 35:11; 48:19.
Israel would lose a colony and
then increase demanding more
room, Isa. 49:20
There are many more such pro-
phecies but it is sufficient to say,
there will come a time when the
whole world will be pitted to des-
troy both the United States and
Great Britain. That time appears
not far off, but as the President
said, "there will always be an
England."
Other signs of out time
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
recently stated: "The moment has
arrived when we must face realis-
tically the startling fact that since
1958 crime in this country has
increased five times faster than
our population growth! Serious
crimes — murder, forcible rape,
robbery, burglary, aggravated as-
sault, automobile theft—have mo-
unted steadily since the end of
World War II. In 1951 these crim-
es for the first time topped the
one million mark, and more than
two and one-quarter million ser-
ious crimes were reported during
1963."
This brings to mind a recent
statement by Billy Graham. He
has been collecting data to write
a book on the crime rate in the
United States. He showed the
material to his wife, who was
greatly astonished and said, "If
the Good Lord doesn't punish the
United States for these sins He
will be forced to apologize to
Sodom and Gomorrah."
As pointed out in the above ar-
ticle, there will always be an Eng-
land and USA but that doesn't
deliver them from punishment for
their sins. That is also a part of
the picture of our future and
part of the punishment is now in
progress.
Whether we like it or not, 1S65
will not be a very happy year
national-wise.
The UN and you
Intelligence Digest, in an article,
"A Review of World Affairs,"
(April 1964), gives us (lie basic
facts of why the United Nations
can never bring peace to the world.
They report:
The great need is for the basic
reality to be faced. That reality
is the relentless war of Commun-
ism against the Free World. If
this fact were admitted, it would
appear folly to associate with the
Communists in a common organi-

During the recent election
a great deal of oratory was ex-
pended on what is fascism and
what is communism.
* * *
Yet to the
on reflection
there is ba-
sically no dif-
ference be-
tween t h e
two. Both are
based on the

In addition Iho gulf L.-Lwcon
them has never been too grca;
ideologically; they have only
clashed when personalities dis-
agreed. Thus, when Germany
was held down on military
force before World War II, Ger-
man soldiers were trained clan-
destinely on Russian soil. Hit-
ler and Stalin agreed to divide
up Eastern Europe, but even-
tually thieves fell out.
After World War II, the rrreat
German monopoly of Krupp,
was broken up. Alfred Krupp
was sentenced to J2 years in
jail lor war crimes, but re-
leased after six.
* * * r
Just recently it was an-
nounced that Krupp had re-
gained control of the Westpha-
lian Wire Industries at Hamm.
which he hod previously sold
to a sister and a nephew. This
added to the coal mines he had
previously acquired, plus the
engineering firms, and some
other steel plants, resulted in
the full restoration of the
Krupp monopoly empire.
* * *
It is important to bear in
(El National l'l.kT.lti«n <,f lr l.'ppn.lc nt limine:!!
mind (bat this was done with
the knowledge and tactic con-
sent of the American State
Dept. to defend against com-
munism.
* * *
Now it is interesting to com-
pare theory with fact.
' * * *
Krupp has becomc the
world's largest supplier of fac-
tory installations to the com-
munist bloc- It has built poly-
enes1 t:be;- plants for Bulgaria,
synthetic; liber pants and a
steel i.-.ill for Ri:s?ia, a tire fac-
tory for iiomania, an oil re-
fir.ivy i'cr Hungary and mis-

Poland and Czechoslovakia,

So ICi'ipp which supported
the NAZI outrages, and bear
in mind NAZI is merely an ab-
breviation of what was called
the socialist party in Germany,
is now supporting the socialist
states under communism.
r r. a I: y, t- the trmnp mind
there i3 nothing wrong with a
soeialid'ie order, as long a-; a
nnnanoly is permitted to ex-
ploit the people.

In a fascist set-up, the poli-
tical loaders know they do not
have the ability to run the econ-
omy, therefore they control the
people by letting economic
monopolies oppress them. In
communism, political leader;;
fail to recognize their lack of
ability to run the economy and
they oppress the people.
* * *
Thus, fascism is more econ-
omically efficient, while com-
munism is economically inef-
ficient. But the firing' squads
of both regimes show equal ef-
ficiency in liquidating opposi-
tion. This analysis points up the
vital importance of enforcing
U.S. antitrust laws.

The average home handyman I
has the tools that he needs to !
take care of many minor tasks
—hut more often than not his [
efficiency is hampered by the
fact that he can't find the exact
tool that he needs.
There's no better time than
now—the indoor season—for the
handyman to put his working
tools in order. The man who
doesn't have room for a full-
fledged workshop can settle for
a convenient tool cabinet and
holder.
Such a unit is easily con-
structed of panel hardboard and
Pegboard and most dealers can
furnish plans for wall type,
carry-all or roll-around units.
