C, Thursday, April 12, 1951 Number 16 VEHEMENT PROTEST To Push Action On Natural Gas tor S. C. Washington, April 10.—‘Hie Power commission decided today to speed action on proposals to move natural gas into North and South Carolina. It said intermediate procedure will be dropped, putting the case in the commission’s hands without an ex aminer’s recommendation. The speed-up was requested by Public Service company of North Carolina, Inc., one of the applicants in the proceedings. Attorneys for the cities of Lau rens, Clinton, and Newberry, S. C., and Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line corporation, Piedmont Natural Gas company, Inc., and Carolina Cen tral Gas Company, joined in the re quest. The action was opposed by Caro lina Natural Gas corporation, and various roal, railroad and labor in terests. The commission authorized Pied mont last January to serve certain markets in the Carolinas. At the same time it denied applications of Public Service and Carolina Natural to serve the same markets. The commission reopened the case, however, to let Carolina Na- tral and Public Service change their applications by eliminaitng commun ities Piedmont was authorized to serve. In deciding to speed action, the commission said: “It is our view' that there is a substantial demand and need for natural gas in the Pied mont area and that the pdblic con venience and necessity require that such needs be met.

Being Smog Will Nat Pay I am now getting letten from readers saying: “We already have a house to which we esn flee in sn emergency. Hence, we are oksy whatever happens.’’ This week I wish to remiud such readers that they have forgotten the “refagee problem’’. It is very possible that when you reach your ‘‘hide-away , ’, you will find it already occupied by others who have fled from a large city and—by permission of the Red Cross or some State official—have already taken possession. The rule may be that the first regufees who reach an unoccupied house—or an occupied house with empty rooms— can take possession, whoever the owner may be. Hence, it is important that we who think we are well provided with a safe refuge) should wake up and do something now, to prepare for an abrupt surprise! This applies not only to those who are planning to flee to a summer place in the coun try, but also to those who now live ' smugly in the quiet suburbs of some city which may be bombed. Such houses will be occupied by strangers if we leave them vacant—while we r must share them with strangers if we remain in them. In case of en emy bombing, refugees will be given Dr. Felder Smith Optoaietrist Laurens, S.

Our personal safety will then de pend not upon how much money we have, but how much we are doing for other people who have lost ev erything Only oar generosity will save aa. Smugness and the feeling that we will get preferential treat ment because of our houses, our money, our social standing or our political pull could land us in a con centration camp. Cease Being an “Anti” It is very important that we at once quit being an “anti” and new train ourselves and our children to care and share with others. It seems as if everyone with whom I talk is “anti-something.” Some families are anti-Jewish, others anti-Negroes, others anti-Catholics and others anti-Protestants, or anti-Labor or anti-Capital! Then, I find one fam ily is anti-Truman and the family next door is anti-Taft, or anti something else. Some are for World Federation, in which I believe, and others laugh at me. To save our own necks we must forget this “anti- stufiT and rgmember Jesus’ profound statement: “If we are to save our lives we must be willing to lose our lives.” - All of us are more or less “anti” on our foreign policy—whether to follow Hoover or Dewey, or Acheson. I especially wish the United Na tions could quit its childlish debat ing about “wbo cast the first stone” It should unite on some constructive policy of providing all countries with their just peace needs of oil, food and other necessary raw ma terials. This is the only way War 111 can be prevented.

He's entitled to that glow of pride that comes from feeling like the very important person that he really is. He's entitled to take practical steps to make his dreams come true.

It does things to you. when you let yourself sink deep down in the subtle softness of its cushions, and run a caressing hand over the fine texture of its fabrics. This is everything a fine car should be! Of course, this brilliant performer is Fireball powered. It is cushioned by coil springs on every wheel. It provides, at no extra cost, the complete relaxation of Dynaflow Drive. It has durable and dependable sturdiness engineered into every mechanical part. But the best is yet to be told. When you check the Roadmaster price list, you’ll find that the car of your choice can he yours for hundreds of dollars less than you'll pay for others with com parable reputation.
