HE CLOTHMAKE Letters To Editor Clinton, S. C. December 23, 1954 Gentlemen: On December 16 this reporter attended the Christmas play presented by Academy Street School. It is difficult to express in words the affect the plav had on the audience that jammed the school auditorium. The parents, like myself, went to see their child on sta^e because they had heard for two weeks some 01 mo songs and speeches at home as they practiced. The thing that impressed me most was the neat and most reverent way each ch'ld carried out his part. There was no intermission to sit out. The little singing and speech choirs were the most beautiful part of the play. Looking on the program. I notice that the play was directed bv Mrs. W. Y. Thompson. She certainly must be a very talented person to select and direct so many little choirs as she did on the balcony, and at the same time direct the plav on the stage. The most able accompaniest was Mrs. J. F. Jacobs, not to mention the faculty of the school who did such a wonderful job in teaching the children and as SJsiinp behind the scenes. Acad?mv Street school has come a long wav and is fortunate to have such talented students and teachers. The large turn out of parent1made me feel good and I am very sure the students and faculty were proud and were rewarded for their untirino efforts bv such cooperation on the part of the parents. Sincerelv. Dorsey Turner BIRTHDAY PARTY Mrs. Daniel Osborne was hostess to the children in the lone Wallace Kindergarten at a lovely party celebrating the fourth birthday of her daugh ter, Pat. The cake held glowing candles upheld bv a string of camels. Decorations ol green and red were used. Joyce Creswell, daughter o1 Mr. and Mrs. Neuffer Creswell celebrated her 16th birthday January 5. Joyce has always been a popular member of th< community and is a sophomore a Clinton High School. She player on the softball team for the pas two years. % R ^K> TT GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY?Mr beloved members of the Clinton Mi as they were entertained at a 50th < The Tax Bite ! If a company or corpora- i tion. such as Clinton and Lvdia Cotton Mills, required its employees to work from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, or two hours on every shift, for NOTHING, the protests would make the H-bomb explosion sound like a 20 for a penny firecracker. Yet the Kentucky Research Association has just found that the man or woman earning about the average wages here at Clinton-Lydia Cotton i\111is nas to work about two hours of each day to earn ; enough money to pay his other taxes. Of course we have withholding taxes which , makes the tax bite seem easier come April 16 this year, but nevertheless, you are working that much time for money Uncle Sam requires you to shell out. What happens to the rest of your eight hour day? The Association says the average American spends it like this: For food, one hour and .'17 minutes; for housing, one hour and 12 4 minutes (but this would be a shorter time at Clinton and Lydia); for clothing. 35 minutes; for transportation. 42 minutes; for medical and personal | care. 23 minutes; for reading I and recreation, 20 minutes, and for goods services. 23 minutes. In other words, the citizen gives the lion's share of his time and effort to the men I who write his laws. That's why it is so important these days for each of us to keep up with what our congressmen are doing with OUR j money?otherwise it is too easy to squander the money r we work for. ? Don't ever hesitate to write t your congressman about what J you think he is doing or should be doing. Even a post 5 r jr^ . and Mrs. J. E. Braswell. Sr.. lis Community, are shown above i Anniversary Party last month. card has as much weight as a telegram or talephone call, and chances are he will appreciate healing from you a Int TVTnst nf r>iir- QniitViorn congressmen are conscientious. but they can't represent us properly unless they know what we want or what we think of large and small issue on which they cast a vote. Remember. YCU are paying his salary, so let him know what YOU want. I _. J * i^vuia oroups Sing In Laurens At the Christmas annual banquet of the Palmetto Bank in Laurens, the entertainment was put on by a group of of boys and girls from Lvdia, under the direction of Mrs Wallace. Sixteen boys and girls in evening costumes sang a number of Christmas Carols. These young singers were from the lone Wallace Kindergarten, and twelve teen-age boys and girls did a folk dance in costume. Their number was "The All American Walk". This was the number they did in Charleston at the State Folk Festival early in December. fL .. T - ^ ?* PFC. Clifton M. Heaton it now serving with the army in Korea. He it the ton of Mr. and Mrt. L.
