Woman's Club Group Enjoy
Week-End Trip
The members of the Woman's club
of Clinton Mills enjoyed a week-end
trip through the mountains of West
ern North Carolina, Tennesse and
Kentucky. Their first stop was at
Newport. Tenn.. where they spent
the night. Saturday night they were
in Mount Vernon and were guest*
at the Renfro Valley Barn.program.
Two boys on Ihe program were South
Carolinians and dedicated their songs
to the Clinton group. They were es
corted to thc auditorium and sat in
a body as honored guests.
On the Sunday morning program
John Lair, program director, was
master of ceremonies and invited
four of the group. Mrs. Eunice Ar
nold. Mrs. lone Wallace. Mrs. Betty
Sne’.grove and Mrs. Edith Hancock,
to sing with the male quartet Trey
sang two numbers. ’ Blessed Assur
ance.” and "Stepping in the Light."
Mr. La:r announced on the program
that the Clinton group was present.
An interesting part of the trip was
meeting the woman who is pushing
r wheelbarrow and taking her little
son to Detroit, Mich. The group
enjoyed talking to her and making
turw. .
Twenty-eight members of the
club, accompanied by Mrs. lone Wal-
ot Lydia Mill, and Ott Thomas, who
was the driver of the bus, went on
the tour.
the whole business and who used to
be a newspaperman in Iowa, is in
charge of public information on the
census,
“We figure a census taker should
spend about a hour with each
family in the country." Wilson said.
"I hope it works out all right." '.
That might be all right for the sim
ple vital staistics about where born,
etc. But when the "taker” turns the
three-foot page and starts to work
ing on housing! He’s going to run into
a little trpuble on such questions as:
Kitchen sink — exclusive use only'.’
Type of water? Hot and cold - piped
inside? Only cold piped inside? Piped
outside? No piped running water?
SIX-INCH SERMON
By Rev. Robert H. Harper
EXALTING THE WORD OF GOD
Lesson for August 28: Psalms 19:
7-14. 119:1-8.
Memory Selection: Psalm 119:11.
Last week we studied the law of
God in the universe. Today we think
of the moral law for men. In every
age men have fixed their standards
ot conduct but these standards have
been imperfect and ftinmes contra
dictory to each other. There could
not be a thousand codes. There is but
ore code-^-that which centers in the
will of God.
We find that in the latter part of
the 19th Psalm the author turns from
material law to the moral law with
in. As the law of God for material
things is necessary to their existence,
the law Within is essential to the
well-being of men. The moral law
is perfect. After thinking of it, the
psalmist prays to be kept from pre
sumptions sins: also that the words
of his mouth and the meditations of
his heart may be acceptable in God’s
sight.
In the 119th Psalm the writer sings
of the blessedness of those who walk
in the law of the Lord. They keep
his testimonies and they do no un
righteousness. The psalmist express
es his desire to walk in God’s ways,
to observe his statutes, and to have
respect unto his commandments.
Thus do the ancient song-writers of
Israel exalt the Word of GocJ,
And we shall be wise to exalt it
that we may enjoy well-being and
true happiness. Apart from * the
Word, men have tried to find happi
ness and have failed. They have de
fied the law of Gdd and have failed
to "get by.” Let us learn of the wis
dom of the ages. Let us seek the
highest life in the authority of the
I Word of God.

Taking of 1950
Census Will Cost
$70 Million
(By Harman W. Nichols)
Washington, Aug. 22.—Call a meet
ing,"^men. This is a warning. The;
women are about t<J take over.
In fact, the word is out already.
The bureau of census which counts
noses in the country every 10 years
has made an advance survey.^ We
men are going to be outnumbered.
The skirts will have an advantage of
around 300,000 over the pants.
The last census, in 1940. showed j
the male of our species had half a
million advantage.
Incidentally, taking a census is no|
cheap task. In 1950 it’ll cost $70,000,-
000. In 1940 the cost was $40,000,000,
but it wasn't so thorough. Beginning
:n April, your Uncle Sam wants to
know everything: How many k:ds, i
what the old man does, how many;
in-laws, where they live, how many
toilets inside and out, how many pigs,
calves, lambs, and bales of allalla. |
When it's all over we expect tc
find that we have at least 150,000,000 i
people, a gain of 19,000,000 over the
1940 count. According to the census,
people that will mean about 50 per
sons to the square mile. In 1790. when
we first took a census, the density
was 4.5 persons. In 1940 it was 44.2.
I am old enough to remember
when census taking was compara
tively simple. As a high school stu
dent in Farmer City, 111., I went from
house to house with a little note pad
asking the neighbors if they had had
any kids during the last 10 years. I
got $1.50 a day. I had to cheat to
make the job last a week.
Now the takers get $10 a day. The
whole business will start April 1. In
the cities it is supposed to be com
pleted in two weeks. In the country,
a month will be required because of
the count of pigs, calves and the al-
It’ll take 150,000 "takers” to do the
job. Ten thousand folks will be need
ed here in Washington to assemble
the data and put it into the official
record. The 1940 census, for instance,
required 40 volumes in fine print and
contained four billion facts. It cost a
heap of money, too.
The new census asks everything,
abut the family including breeding,
sehooling, servants, your relatives,
their relatives, all addresses, salary
last place worked, number of carrots
and chickens in the back yard.
Plus language spoken in the hone
and that spoken on the street.

It’s the new Buick Special—
new in line, new in size,
new in price and value!
OU take a look—and your fingers itch to
get hold of its waiting wheel.
You cast an eye over its gleaming new bumper-
guard grille, its tapering fenders, its jet-plane
lines—and know that this is what others have
been groping for.
\!ou slip inside. Twelve inches added to rear-
seat cushions emphasize the biggest intenors
you can buy for the money. A broad, curving
windshield set in narrower corner posts means
a better view any way you look.
Now touch the throttle. Not just high-com
pression power, but h\%h-pressure Fireball
power, to get the most from today’s fuels
today!
You finger the controls—not just standard
transmission alone, but the magic smoothness
of Dynaflow Drive* at your option.
Try it in traffic—and less length bumper-to-
. bumper makes it a dream to park or handle.
Try it on the road, and seats placed ahead of

the rear axle add even more comfort to that
unequaled Buick ride.
So you say, “How much?”—maybe bracing
yourself mentally.
Tdien you learn that price is part of the good
news too! Figures fit the modest budget as
this handy-dandy fits the modest garage—and
you get room, power, ride, and the smartest
look on wheels at the lowest price you’ll find
on any valve-in-head eight!
So you size it all up with a happy “Buick’s
done it again!”—and see your Buick dealer
quick as you can.
After all, the quickest way to get one of these
into your garage is to get a firm order in!
