CRAWFORD COSTS LESS TO BUY . . . LESS TO RUN ■ Ford has built more station wagons than any other manufacturer in the industry.That’s one reason why Ford can give you more “wagon” for your money. Whether you have a large family to tote around whether you just like'the looks and convenience of a station wagon ... whether you’re a butcher or baker or candle-stick maker and use it for utility, you’ll find that Ford is today’s big station wagon buy.

Sometimes when the teaching is not anti-American or anti-Carolinian it is not distinctly, emphatically for Sputh Carolina or the American way of living, gov-1 eming and doing business. Perhaps I you will remember the telegram to j Senator Olin Johnston from a hun- drel or more students df our Uni-] versity, urging liin\_ to vote for the j F.E.P.C. What I wonder about is this: What positive instruction is being given to prove the soundness of our traditions? What do we re quire of tn/>se who teach? We do not approve tne Russian! theory nor the Russian method, but they would not let any anti-Com- munist teach in their schools, would they? We need not require our peo ple to join any group, but we should i teach the truth in all its amplitude, all its length, breadth and thick ness. If our people disregard the truth, clearly presented, then that is their privilege. Have you read that our textile mills, our railroads, our power com panies—and others—are spending millions and millions of dollars here in South Carolina? Where do they get the money? If it be money saved by the enterprise it means that it is money which the owners never drew out; it was profit left in the business. The Companies paid tax-, es, insurance, wages regularly, but the owners didn’t get all the profit. I once owned for five years a few i shares of one of the greatest con- j cerns in America. It didn’t pay a ; dollar for years to those who owned 1 the company. It paid wages and I salaries, but the salaried men didn’t' own the Company. A great in-j vestment has been made in Camden recently by a Company from out-! side. With what money? By its pro-] fits which the owners didn’t spend or even receive. It’s exactly like father drawing $2000 from his sav ings account in order to buy a car for mother and the girls. Son is probably runnings dad’s car to bits, but letting dad have it occasionally, though only in the daytime. Frequeotly the Company has to borrow moniey, sell bonds, in order to get the fresh capital needed to increase facilities.
