They can go faster and higher; they can work complicated mathematical puzzles; they can take over the function of our body's parts during operations. But there still are many things which only people can do. No machine can comfort a frightened child or help a troubled family. No machine can lead a group of young people on a hike, or conduct research in our medical laboratories. It takes people to help people this way. It takes people, too, to raise money for our health, welfare, and rt :reation services. It takes generous people to contribute part of their earnings to help make their communities better places to live and work. Machines may have "brains", but people also have hearts. Textiles..

THE CLOTHMAKER THE OPEN DOORS OF THE CHURCH With around 100 churches in Laurens county of all denominations there is definitely a place for you and me at the services. If we think over it, too, we will find that we as human beings need the church. The doors stand open wide in welcome and offer us spiritual food which is certainly a part of our growth. Our churches are made up of people just like you and me and in times of happiness, joy, sorrow, or trouble, the church will stand by you, offering you strength to live by, and a greater understanding of the future ahead. If you do not attend regularly, think over it. You'll find the doors stand open wide. Down through history the church has been the rock which forms a good foundation for our civilization and without them there can be no future, no hope, or no strength on which to go. Attend the church of your choice and take someone with you, you'll be happier for it. Prayer Lord, may the glory of the closing year? The harvest-time, the place of levelled fields. The scent of the late roses, and the fires That autumn sets alight among the woods. Slow-homing cattle in the falling dusk. The misty uplands and the sheep in fold. The warm still nights, the dark skies filled with stars. And secret-dreaming orchards with the moon Full shining on the apple trees . .. Lord, may all lovely things like these Be for remembering in the songless noon. And night grown bitter cold . .. ?M. E.

Huguley again outlined the values of Good Housekeeping and Orderliness at the monthly Supervisors' Safety Meeting last week. "Show me a clean mill and I'll show you a safe mill", he said.
