Sam was going from place to place renewing acquaintances with old friends and customers and said he had a “grand time.” He was happy to see his white friends, he said, and they in turn were glad to see and welcome him back.

The order will not affect consumer buying at present, since no consumer items were named in the order. We hear much about stemming inflation, but the only way to ac complish this is to keep the goods moving to consumers. Any other al ternative such as price fixing and rationing should remain the last resort of a drastic war effort if such becomes necessary. The free mark et is as basic as any other freedom we enjoy. When it is restricted the entire ideal of freedom is in peril. It is highly necessary to keep goods moving through an efficient mass distribution which will prevent hoarding or profiteering. Yet strange ly the government is seeking to re strict the efficiency of mass distri bution by attacking mere size as a monopoly. Today business sits on a two pronged dilemma. On the one side is the demand from government to provide the necessary supplies and the men for the war which recently began in Korea, and which to the de light of all—is now looking much better for our side in the fight against Communism. On the other prong, business faces the most de termined campaign ever waged by antitrust lawyers in which they at- GOLD THEATRE JOANNA, S.’C. Morning Shows—19 A. M.

EACH IN his small way, Al?o “Fighting With YOU (lit •• •• Just sharpen your pencil- end there you are ! across this broad land there are thousands of people who have been doing themselves a disfavor. Seems they "just naturally assume’* a Buick is beyond their reach—and so pass up the car they're really itch ing to own. Now why "assume” anything as im portant to your happiness as a new car? Why not see for yourself how de livered prices run —how close Buick matches your own budget—how fre quently it is priced under •°4 can you may be considering? Then — if there is a particular car in mind—sharpen up your pencil a little. D< I s it a six —or an eight, like Buick? If an eight, is it a valve-in-head eight? That adds a plus in efficiency, you know, even without the extra edge of Buick’s Fireball power. Will you ride on four soft coil springs, as in Buick—or on only two? Will the drive be through a sealed torque-tube that keeps the rear wheel assembly firmly aligned? It is in a Buick. • Do you get soft, low-pressure tires as part of the price—or as extras? Will you have bumper guards built as part of the bumper, or a one-piece cast metal grille that can be costly to repair or replace? "oes the price include air cleaner; oil filter; dual horns, windshield wipers and sun visors; an automatic dome light; self-locking luggage lid; a single key for all locks? And is there an automatic drive*, or one In which gears still shift in normal driving? (es, sharpen your pencil—and there you will be, in a Buick. Whether it’s a Special, a Super or a lordly Road MASTER, you’ll be driv ing the big buy of its price class, and getting a rich bonus of driving com fort, driving thrill and "fashion-first**, styling. ) But you have to make the first move. You are the one who has to find out. How about starting now—with a call on your Buick dealer? yePyus^M* Driv* it itmniard m Sod DMA STEM, •ptionol at Mrtrs eott 9n Svnm and Snout, mtdtlt.
