There was a possible difference of $50,000.00.1 The business man is subject to a law full of bad provisions. In those cases allowing some discretion to the Commission the Federal Security Board is/ on top of them like a ton of bricks, demanding that greater lib erality be shown to the employee. The South Carolina Commission, un der the Act, had been rejecting over 22% of the claims filed—and there were 144,000 between January and April, 1942—but the Federal Social Security Board objected and" admon ished the Commission that TWO per cent would be more nearly right. In conclusion, Mr. Skinner said that the organization he represents func tions as an instrumentality represent ing business and industry throughout the state, to see that its primary pur pose is made available to the general assembly and that only legislation is enacted that will be constructive and result in the building up of the state. Our motto, he said, has been and always will be: “If it is not for the public good, it is not for the good of business.” SKRJP INK — Black, green, brown, purple, red, royal blue. 2-oz. bot tles 15c.

And while America's scffrS fight in desert and jungle, tele phone communication lines at home will carry an ever-increas ing load of calls vital to Victory. Telephone materials are still going to battle in the form of guns and shells. So, to get the most out of our present equip ment, we will continue to need your help in keeping long dis tance lines clear of all but necessary calls. And remember, the greate^Yhe distance yo:: talk, Hie greater the chance of your call getting in the way of important*war calls. We are most grateful for the patriotic response during 1942, to our requests for voluntary reduction of unnecessary long distance calls. It helped us provide the services so badly needed in those critical times. For the “duration," we can continue to best serve the tele phone needs of all l>y serving our country first.
