THE WATEREB MESSENGER ; ' ?. CHAS. W. B1RCHM0RE. Prop. Entered aa Second Class Matter at . the Postoffice at Camden, S. C. Wednesday, August 28, 1985 No diet hau yet been devised t| ?educe a fat head. i Hollywood cameramen, too, aro al ways aiming at the stars. Two people ?an really live ta cheaply as one if both are on relief. Tolerant people concede the right oi others to make fools of themselves.

THE DECLINING YEARS Nothing is more tragic tiiVan po\ erty stricken old age. And nothing, especially in these times, is more prevnlent. Something like seventy per cent ct men, once they reach the age of re tirement, find themselves without money sufficient to provide for the needs of life. To subsist, they must acce(pt public charity, or become bur dens to their relatives and friendr* Many such men were once wealthy. Many more earned comfortable in comes during their working years S?me managed to create sizeable es tates only to lose thq'.n. Most of tlfrem mado some kind of an attempt to guard against the exigencies of the future. They failed. They can look back now and see the mistakes they made ? and feel the bitterness of futility. In most cases it is too late to mend. Those disastrous examples should be pondered on by mjen in young and middle years. They have a chance to avoid the pitfalls that caused the downfall of so many of their elders. Today tlhe ways are open to them whereby they can create an estate, on the 'easy installment plan' ? an es tate that will exist when they need it most, and that will not have been wiped out by a calamity they could not foresee. j Through life insurance, annuities trust funds, and similar methods, thousands of Wen are preparing for a self sustaining v;and Independent? old age. They can look forward to the declining years without fear. STAMP OUT THE DEFICIT Now that Congress is In a scramble over ways to raise more money and cut down the deficit, it isn't well to ^asf; up this one. it seems that the Postoffice depart ment sold from March 15tlh to June ?15th, around 1,600, 000 worth of a special series of stamps. Now these wern't ordinary stamps. They wern't perforated and they were not gummed. They were nev?r meant to go on letters, and no postman has Mad yet to walk a^rriile on account of them. ?. They were sold to collectors who put them in albums. There is some thing in stamp collectors that makes )0hem buy such stamps and keep thvn. The rest of us will never know what it is, but its there. Now the profit to the government mfust have been around.. 1,500,000. That means that this .performance pnly need bo repeated about 18,008 times to pay off completely the pulb lic debt. Talk about living by taking In one another* washing! All we need to do 4s become stamp collectors and buy ono anothers sts(m(pH; ? ? Sumter Daily Item. METHODIST UNITY a joint conference of three prin cipal branches of the Methodist church, held recently in Evanston, 111., another plan for bringing all three into a single reunited body was proposed, and is believed to have good prospects for success. The three branches concerned are the Methodist Episcopal Church (Northern branch) the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and the Methodist Protestant Church. Their union would bring into the Untied .Methodist Church, the name suggest ed for the new body, about eight mil lion communicants, 20 million consti ' i tuents, and property valued at about one half billion dollars. It would bo the largest Protestant denominat ion in the United States. Thero would be more than 35,000 churches, with 29,000 ordained min isters and about 19,500 local preach ers. It is estimated that the operat ing budget of the United Methodist Church would be about 100 million dollars annually. Efforts to (bring about such a union have been made for many years with out success, but the 45 cdmfmission ers who participated in the latest i joint conference are optimistic over| tho present outlook. The new plan would require ratification by the gen eral conferences of the three branches concerned before it could be put into effect. EQUITABLE REGULATION AT LAST The bill providing for regulation d trucks and buses in interstate commerce 'n-as* (passed both branches (<f Congress and has been approved by%t.he President. No fanfare of trum pets accompanied its passing or sign ing, and it did not 'make' the head lines. But, from the standpoint of general welfare, few pieces of legis lation passed by recent Congresses can compare with it in importance. The bill does not penalize tho bus and the truck. It sim)ply places their regulation within the jurisdiction of fhe Interstate Commerce Comaniss ion, which has strictly regulated rail* oads in every p(h<ase of operation. It puts all carriers on the ^ayne equit able basis, so far as regulation and federal supervision is concerned. The bill's (passage will produce two immediate results, both of which are of vital public interest. First, it will make it possible to control and elim inate the so-called "wildcat" bun and truck operator, with improper equip ment, inadequate insurance, and no sense of responsibility that falls upon those who transport persons and goods. In this way it will Ibe of im mense benefit to established, well operated truck and bus systems, whidh have been greatly damaged by the ir resJposibles within their industry. Second, it will give our greatest single industry ? the railroods ? a fair chance to compete for business. Rail road purchasing will increase, more men will be put to work, schedule* will bo speeded up, new construction will be undertaken and every worker and investor will feel the good ef fects. ? Passage of the hill is one step to ward clearing up the chaotic trans portation problem. Changes in such oUtmodad measures as the long-and fltiort-ihaul clauso of the Transporta-, tion Act are also sorely needed. " l??t p?wdtr, M Ml ???
