Laurens Chamber
Commerce Hears
Address By Lucas
Laurens, Nov. 1.—The justification
Tor a Chamber of Commerce is not
banquets or projects or expansion of
industries but is in making each
member a better citizen, Jan Paul
Lucas of Charlotte, public relations
director for Duke Power company,
lold the memberahip of the Laurens
Chamber of Commerce at the annual
banquet Tuesday night.
Eight new directors were elected
at tonight’s meeting. They will meet
within 10 days with eight holdovers
to elect new officers of the organiza
tion.
The membership, with C. K. Wright,
superintendent of the Laurens city
schools and Chamber of Commerce
president, presiding, also approved
a constitution and by-laws for the
reorganized trade body.
Named to the board of directors
in tonight’s balloting were W. T.
Bolt, Morgan Brightwell, E. D. East-
erby, Henry Paris, C. F. Fleming, A.
I. Mason, Yancey Poole and C. P.
Boper. Holdovers are P. E. Cannon,
N. G. Hardie, R. L. Kinard, G. M.
McCuen, W. R. McCuen, Jr., L. S.
McMillan, Dwight F. Patterson and
J. C. Todd.
Congressman Joseph R. Bryson, of
Greenville, was a guest at the meet
ing. •
George Attix, secretary of the
Chamber, gave a brief annual report
on activities of the organization since
January 1, emphasizing the addition
of another assistant Laurens county
farm agent to work especially in pro
motion of livestock and dairying in
the county.
Mr. Lucas was introduced by Ali-
son Lee, publisher of The Laurens
I Advertiser, who mentioned the for-
j mer’s success in the development of
industry and agriculture in the
Southeast.
“What we owe over and above tax
es is what we contribute to the com
munity,’’ Mr. Lucas stated. “The
Chamber of Commerce is the instru
ment by which each of us becomes a
part of the progress of a town. If we
fail to cross the threshold of oppor
tunity, it is because of our ignorance
or unpreparedness.”
He touched on the international
situation, calling attention to the fact
that the eventual peace treaty will
be sighed by a few men but that the
peace must be kept by the millions
all over the world who feel they have
something in common.
“Peace is impossible without an
understanding of the basis on which
the peace must be made,” he stated.
“Men must live in friendship or
die.”

Moore’s Dress Shoppe, Mrs. Perry
M. Moore, proprietor, is beginning
their 8th birthday celebration sale
this morning to continue for eight
days. The event, one of interest to
feminine buyers, is announced in an
‘ advertisement in today’s paper in
which eight birthday candles tell of
the celebration.
Mrs. Moore entered business in
1941. Her store has grown in popu-
| larity since it opened and for their
birthday party she is offering a store-

Red-Dominated Unions
It would be interesting to know
what action our government expects
to take with regard to Communist-
dominated unions in the event of
war with Russia.
When and if this war comes about,
nature will take its course and the
American elements in such unions
as the United Electrical Workers and
the Farm Equipment Workers—plus
an enraged populace—will wipe out
the Communist members.
But what happens in the meantime?
Surely our government is prepared
to subdue the potential saboteurs
before they can do irreparable in
jury to such a vital part of our whole
system as the electrical field. |
None of us any longer have to be
I told that an “American” Commu-
I nist’s first duty is to Russia. The du
ty to sabotage this country’s strength,
in the event of war with the Slavs,
would be paramount with him. Many
of them would sacrifice themselves
to the lynch mob if by so doing they
j could “shine” as Red heroes.
1 _ What a terrible dilemma we would
i find ourselves in if a considerable
I number of United Electrical Work
ers followed the Communist line in
event of War. Our whole system of
defense, and offense, would be par
alyzed. Then supppse these persons
were liquidated, the industry—which
is specialized—would suddenly find
itself desperately short of expert la-
; bor just when it was most needed.
This is just one small picture in
; a puzzle which constantly intrigues j
the American. He believes that the
next war will be sudden and victory
possibly conclusive .within a brief
period. It will be that early period
I in which everything wm depend
upon the perfect coordination »f afl
our industrial and military machines ’ be in jeodardy.
The majdrity of U.E. s members The C IO. meets in Cleveland ia
are doubtless anti-Communist; but, a few days. If the great mass of Ara-
this doesn't mean that these mem
bers are able to openly organize and
cust the Red element. The very life
of an advcate of such action might
ericans in that vast union are unabl*
to eliminate ;ne oovious- danger that
we now face—then the Government
must do it.

N THE ruthless, gold-splashed jungle of New
York's robber-baron society, you could buy any
thing for money—even a lover. And although blond,
rose-lift>ed Esther Stillworth was so bewitchingly love
ly that she could have almost any man in town, she
could not have the one man of her choice except at a price—
HIS price. And that was nothing less than her father's mas
sive fortune—over $40,009,000!
Big, handsome Pride Dawson was always ripe for a deal—
whether it involved a woman s heart or a man's loot—and
here were both! How would this fabulous union cf passion
and greed work out? Why did both of them r. .n without
the other woman in Pride's life—the on: woman from whom
he could never be free?
