Flowers That Lire Long
A letter receive recently from Dr.
M. A. Macdonald of Thornwell or
phanage, reads in part:
“We acknowledge receipt of a
gift from J. Isaac Copeland, as a
memorial to your daughter, Beth
MdMurray, who recently passed
away.”
The flowers for the burial of lit
tle Beth McMurray, daughter of
William McMurray and Mary Lof-
tis McMurray, of Swannanoa, N. C.,
were many, were beautiful, were soj
beautifully arranged. They were
gratefully appreciated, as was every
other token of love and sympathy.
The potted flowers, with care, will
last for a time, the others, very
soon fade away and die. Yet a
gift or deed like’this will live long.
Mr. Copeland, long our esteemed
where all things live and are bright
forever. Knowing Thornwell or
phanage and its great work we
know the gift will be used to turn
other childish footsteps into the
pathway leading upward.
We rejoice ^ach day for friends;
we thank God for friends who are
able to give flowers that live long.

Cotton, Meeting Told
Columbia, March 29 — Cotton
farmers in South Carolina received
an additional 25 million, dollars
j from their crop last year through
use of modern sprays and dusts
to control insects and plant di
seases, the Richland County Farm
Bureau was told yesterday.
Charles J. Steinhauer, agricul-
did not apply chemical pest con
trols averaged only 273 pounds.
Steinhauer said the boll weevil
alone is charged with the loss of
79,619 bales of South Carolina cot
ton in 1951. Other pests such, as
thrips and boll rot cost growers
thousands of bales, he added.
While South Carolina cotton
growers used an estimated 43,140,-
000 pounds of chemicals to treat
their 1951 crop, Steinhauer said,
American chemical industries last
year consumed the cotton seed lin-
ter yield of an ectimated 10 mil
lion acres.

PANIC BUYING
I During 195 1,
Reger W. Bebeea man ufacturer s
were urging the public to buy or
else be sorry! Television was an
especially good example. What
happened!? Many manufacturers,
unable to find dynamic leadership
in Washington with an intelligent
plan for Korea, planned for the
worst—a long war and critical
shortages. They made so much at
such a pace and at such high prices
that shelves and warehouses be
came loaded.
At first, the gullible were panick
ed. Again, televisions are a good
example. The more thoughtful
waited. Shortages failed to ma
terialize. Buyer psychology chang
ed. Consumers stopped listening
to advertisements and stopped buy
ing. Consumers did what the
President and DiSalle and all the
rest of the government heirarchy
couldn’t do—halted the price rise

and the inflationary spiral!
Consumption Rates
One of the greatest periods in
our production history was 1950-
51. We made annually over $3 bil
lions worth to goods and services.
Even when taking into account in
flated prices, this figure represents
! the greatest physical volume ever
1 produced by our country, topping
! even the war years of 1942-43. But
1 people failed to buy these goods.
although they were financially able
to do so. Sales resistance devel
oped sharply in textiles and most
consumer durables, In radio - and
television, major appliances, fur
niture, carpets, household goods,
and automobiles.
Because of this sales resistance,
fof example, 60 per cent fewer ra-
did and television sets were pro
duced in the last half of ’51 as in
the same period in ’50;; less than
40 per cent as many major ap
pliances; 20 per cent less furniture;
and 50 per cent few er carpets, even
though the carpet industry is not
primarily affected by limitations of
material. There, then, is a simple
leson of action and reaction which
I have been preaching for years.
Buying For 1952
A review of the 1951 price trends
will help to make clear the trends
for 1952. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics “Composite Wholesale In
dex” at the end of 1951 was but a
fraction higher than at the end of
1950. The first quarter of 1951 saw
an advance in prices of 4.1 per cent
to an all-time high in March. This
was followed by a 3.9 per cent de
cline. This pattern has thus far
continued through 1952.
... o doubt the Korean truce talks
have encouraged conservative buy
ing. The administration must,
however, because of the coming
elections, continue to stimulate
business—even if artifically. The
Democrats cannot afford any let
down in the demands for materials,
merchandise, or labor; so don’t be
frightened by any nonsense out of
Washington. I look for no more
panicky buying ahead. The urge
to save will increase and the urge
to buy will decrease. This should
help make your 53-cent dollar go a
little further. When shopping in
1952, shop for value. In areas of
oversupply, bargain!
Patronize Honest Local Merchants
The stability of the p?st few
months is undoubtedly due mmany
causes, primarily to the fact that
the people have at last developed
intelligent buying habits. Don’t
let anybody panic you into buying
because they say the article they
sell will soon come into short sup
ply. The chances are this will not
be so. Buy from reputable local
merchants whom you know and
trust. Any pales organization
which resorts to scare selling is en
couraging inflation, and inflation
may become a more deadly enemy
than Soviet Russia. Also, remem
ber that wholesale prices have de
clined considerably the past few
weeks and this should ultimately
help consumers.
