Babson Park, Mass., June 20.— Now that the first half of the year 1952 is nearly over, income tax reckoning still leaves in its wake a raft of questions. For instance, if someone should ask about the ef fect 'of income taxes on profits, the answer would seom to be obvious. Taxes bite into profits and appar ently bring about slimmer margins between sales and costs. Business tries, however, to qjake up for this shrinkage in prof- its b v expanding e vol u me of sales.

It should have an advantage over competi tors who do not have excess prof its for expansion of business out of tax money. Excess profits may well increase the advertising in newspapers and magazines. Government Must Permit Profits To Continue Corporate profits provide over one-third of the income of the Federal Government. It is a para dox that the tax program, which eventually might be a drag on in centive, may, for a time, itself pro vide an incentive to expand. In addition, the Government needs the success of every business it taxes .to oqntinue its defense pro gram. - Some firms, which may other wise barely break even, may then remain in the field, due to the high level of economic activity. So the tax program, which threatens to take away with one hand, also gives advantages with the other. NEW HOPE FOR POLIO CONTROL OFFERED AS ’52 SEASON OPENS ings” to the cloud. Bo*er W.

Kumm of the Na tional oundation for Infantile Pa ralysis laid that while no cure has yet been developed, research find ings of the past two years estab lish grounds for hope the malady may eventually be conquered. . The New York physician told the annual meeting of the American 1 Medical association of these out standing developments: 1. The finding that there are on ly three types of human polio vi rus, in contrast to theories that there might be many more—thus narrowing down the area of at tack in seeking a preventive xac- cine. W " 2. The finding that the polio vic- rus can be roacte to , ^row’-’-on- tissue other than the nervous sys tem variety—thus expanding pos sibilities 'for producing a vaccine. 3. The discovery that in monkeys and chimpanzees, at least, the polio virus first enters the blood stream instead of heading directly for nerves, as has been previously believed. 4. If that should be true in hu mans as well. Dr. Kumm said, a blood substance known as gamma globulin—if injected at the right time—might act as a preventive against infection by the polio vi rus. He said tests of tne globulin ma terial are to be made this sum mer on an extensive basis. Some limited tests were made of the ma terial last year in a Utah commu nity wheih experienced a severe polio outbreak. 5. Dr. Kumm said that best in formation now is that the polio virus probably enters the body through the mouth—that is, you get the polio bug by eating it or drinking it. This narrows down the so-called portal of entrance” which previously has been thought to include inhalation through the But even in the depths of his self- condemnation, St. Peter did not lose his faith in God’s unquench able love. He made'a new start— which was all that was asked of! him. Peter kept the memory of his defection, but only that he might be on guard against falling into sin again. All who sin and repent should likewise be content that the present finds them restored to the friendship of God. If the sinner thinks of the future it should only be to pray for strength and cour age to keep doing whatever God wills. OFFICE SCFPUES Complete line, all the little items needed for the office.

Bur Ttrtr eamest Chmttan' abhor-' sin becayse it offends the goodness of God. The more we think of God as a kind and ever-devoted Father, the more does sin become revealed for what it really is—an act of treachery and ingratitude. Not on ly do we grow in determination never to offend God, but we strive to do good for His sake. We keep trying to pattern our lives as close ly as possible to that of Christ Himself. At times, however, even the most upright may fall into sin. Remorse shakes the sinner as it did St. Peter who truly loved hisj Master, yet thrice denied Him. ATTENTION!

All my life, I have worked and prepared myself thoroughly in the Jaw so that 1 would be qualified to seek this important office. Twenty years of practice in our Courts have given me the background and experience to represent all the people as Solicitor. Your words of encouragement, your help with those you know in other counties, and your promise of support on July 8th have made me more determined than ever to live up to what you have a right io ex pect of your Solicitor both as an officer and as a man. 'Believing that the Solicitor should hold the respect of the people, I have tried through my humble efforts in the Church, Civic Organizations, work with the Boy Scouts of America, and our Schools to prove myself acceptable. The moral fibre of any man can be best judged by the opinions of those among whom he lives. If I should be elected your Solicitor, I promise to so conduct myself that you will have no cause to re gret having supported me. Please believe me when I say that I am humbly and sincerely grateful to you for whpt you have done, and are doing, in my behalf. (Editorial in The Newberry Observer of June 20) A Good Man for the Job One of the campaign placards of C. E. Saint-Amand. Newlierry’s candidate in the racc-for the aoHcitorship of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, reads: “A good man is Saint- Amand—for Solicitor. ’ Newberrians know what this means. They know that he is a man of ability, impeccable charac ter and untiring energy. They like his pleasing manners and admire him for his legal abilities. They know he has the qualifications toTill the office of solicitor, as they have seen distinct evidence of these qualifications in the twenty years in which he has practiced his profession. However, Mr. Saint-Amand’s abilities extend beyond his legal qualifications. He has a pleasing nature that makes friends quickly, and holds them. While his profession keeps him busy, he is ever ready to help and assist in. civic af fairs. He has served in many civic capacities in the com munity and has devoted a great deal of time to Scouting, realizing its worth to the youth of our day. Newberrians hope that the citizens outside the county will inquire into the life and abilities of her candidate, who can and will fulfill faithfully the duties of the office if elected. ★ Neighbors Favor C. E. Saint-Amand At the beginning of the campaign, the voters of Ward No. 6, Newberry, S. C., assembled in the precinct meeting, endorsed Saint-Amand. Ward 6 is the home precinct of C. E. Saint-Amand. Excerpts from that endorsement: “He is best known to those of us . . . his neighbors, who have had occasion to observe his daily life,among us . . . will represent the peo ple of Abbeville. Greenwood, Laurens and Newberry fairly and justly . . . endorse the candidacy of Mr. Saint-Amand wholeheartedly . . . and go on record as recommending him to the voters of all the four counties without reservation.’* Signed, W.
