SEPTEMBER 19, 1985 TREY CANT BE TRUSTED lor get out, th^ public is liOt informed. Since there is so much agiUtion Why ao heartleaa an ultimatum was given is not explained. The public now favoring the government entering the power business (as well as almost every other kind of hosiness) these figures are interesting and convincing,, In 1913 the cost of government— federal, state and local—was less than 18,000,000,000. 1931 it was 115,600,- 000,000-^a gain of 431 per cent. In 1913 the coat of dorpeatic elec tricity averaged 8.7 cents per kilowatt hpur. In 1934 it was 5.3 cents—^a re duction of 39 per cent. < The same politicians who were re sponsible for quadrupling the cost of government in a generation, are rK>w lamenting the “high cost*’ of electri city—which when the truth is known, anjounts to only one or two per cent of the average family budget—and are clamoring^ for the taxpayers to let them'show the country how to run the power industry.' , ■ This is a timely que.‘ttion to ask— would the politicians who ran the cost of government up over 400 per cent in 20 yeai's be good nrvanagers to re duce the cost of electricity, or any thing else? ' wonders why? ~ • '* Well, while we are ready to admit that LauBpnb> if # good town and haa many excellent people, we can’t re frain from expressing the belief that the proposed rental was excessive. Somebody i^going to be up for prof iteering hret thing you know and re ported to either Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Harry Hopkins, Mr. Ickes or big boss James Farley. But upon further reading we learn that after several conferences were held, the order was rescinded (the rea son for the action is not given) and that peace again hovers over the court house. It’s satisfying to the people of the county to know that following such a- spasmodic and unexpected eruption, quiet soon ca|ne, the peace^ pipe was'smoked, and^the lamb and lion lay down togetJier. And from the account, further il luminating ihformation is gathered. It is stated that after the rescinding agreement had been reached—after the delegation had marched up the hill and back down again-^he terms agreed upon stated that Mr. Cannon Could keep his office at its' present lo cation and that the city of Laurens A BAN ON NOISE In a number of the larger cities noise cami>aigns are under way in re- .sponse to citizens’ protest^k agains^s called. ui>on to provide adequate disturbing and unnecessary noises iff police inspection in an efiort to check rt‘sidential sections.-In New York city the growing abuse of whiskey drink- where. .stf’h a drive i.s l)eing made it has l)et*n di.scovered that oi the ten most' annoying noisw the first two lMF.«i1ions go to automobile horns and rumbling trucks, • The abu.se by many of the little au- trmobile horn in a community like ours’is a nuisance und.sihows lament ing in the court house.

YOUN(; PEOPLE IN COLLEGE Frem all over the country come re ports that the colleges and universi- tie.s are crowded with students for the new year’s work just getting started. In this state it is repoited that en rollment is high in all the colleges, both state and denominational, v^ith substantial gains in freshman classes and with many previous matriculation records broken. - 1 It has become, we might say, the stylish and proivcr thing to go to col lege, though ^ucators who should know tell us that a large percentage of the young men and women now en rolled in our institutions are a mis-fit and have., no business th&re. Many wonls 'of advice are alwajHP said to these studeniiS but much of it falls on deaf ears and fails to make even a slight impression. However, whether the advice they are given in college,does good or not, the undisput ed fact remains that the world wantfi. and needs trained intelligence now,' and that never before has it placed so much emphasis on efficiency as at the present time. While our young people are acquiring knowledge, they would better not forget the lessons taught them in their quiet .home circles at their mothers knees. It well tp re member that the world is not con quered primarily by learnipg, but by the spirit of service, by initiative and fidelity to duty and id<^8.
