Why not a with when the timej terrace or patio surfaced in tile, comes to remodel an older dwell- so that the family can eat and play together outside the house itself? 6. One of the leading reasons for remodeling ah older house is pro vision for plenty of storage space. This applies not only to the kitchen and bathroom, but also to the bed rooms. Look into the cabinet and closet situation carefully when drawing up remodeling plans. Good storage does not detract from home glamor. Dr. Felder Smith Optometrist Laurens, S.

In passing over the • candidates who tried so hard for the nomination, and in choosing Governor Stevenson, who did not try at all, the Democrats instinc tively turned to the man who could, best unite the party and whose ability is undisputed. As a newspaper that is emphat ically and enthusiastically in fa vor of General :Eisenhowers elec-- tion the Presidency of the Unit ed States, we can and do find sat isfaction in the nomination of Gov ernor Stevenson. His selection as Democratic nominee insures that— at least so far as the two protagon ists are concerned—the campaign will be conducted on a decent and Dir if Oc r erI- dignified level. We hope and ex pect to see the differences of opin ion between the Democrats and Republicans on many important 1 matters developed, clarified and i argued out during the coming [ months. That is the way a healthy democracy works.^ But in the state; of the world today it would have; been extremely unhealthy if this' campaign had degenerated into ai fiercely partisan and demagogic! dispute over the past, present and ; future foreign policy of the United : Statesr Of that we now need have no fear; for Eisenhower and Ste- i venson both have the character; and the understanding that would m»kc~9ueh-a- destructively divisive campaign impossible. If this newspaper has so high a regard for Governor Stevenson, it may fairly be asked why we con- tinuu t-.i argup—now even more :»■ -UmjiTv—than ever, btifoui—for—uiu- '•Ve have always, thought it was b idea for every progressive -oncern to have a catchy slogan, b sr.appv phrase or sentence that, has promotional as well as adver- t-*;ng value.

The fact is. We have never been able to hit upon one that exactly suited us. or that fitted 'ur company as we thought it should. But we are still m thr marKet. and instead of paying some high-priced advertising ex pert to write us a slogan, we have dec ded to have a contest and of fer a nice prize to the person who suggests the best one.

(Telephone/ Harrods Creek, Kentucky, 103) election of General Eisenhower. There are two fundamental reas ons, and they are the same reas- ons on which we based our orig inal plea for General Eisenhow er's nomination. One is in the field of domestic policy; the other in; foreign policy. It is this hewpsaper’s belief that | a change of administration is es- sfifltial wgltare.Qf this cpuei try and to the continuation of the twx>-party system in the United States. The Democrats have been in office for twenty years—for five Presidential terms—and they have have been giving increasing evi dence of fatigue, ineptitude and corrosion. The party has accomplished many fine thin^ during its two decades under Roosevelt and Tnj- man; but,. particularly in the realm of economic policies in recent years, it has been willing to fol low the course of least resistance with seriously harmful effects More important than that, with the years of power there has come a certain complacency, an indiffer ence to the highest standards of public service, a comfortable liai-j son with special interests, a seamy connivance in petty corruption, an arrogance toward those in disa greement, a distasteful tendency to self-praise and an aversion to self- criticism. Admitedly, Governor Ste venson himself has not been taint ed in this way, for he has been busy cleaning up Illinois while Washington basked in the fruits of power; but Stevenson or no Ste venson, it is the Democratic party that has been in the saddle, and there is an inherent, concrete and important value in the simple fact of change that a Republican vic tory would bring about. Much as we desire this change, however, we would only be able to support a Republican nominee who recognized America's position of responsibility in the world. Gen eral Eisenhower not only recogniz es this responsibility; he is almost the embodiment of it. More than any other living man General Eis enhower stands as the symbol of effective American participation in the global effort to stem the tide of Soviet Communist aggression. He understands the workings and the implications of the North At lantic Pact, keystone of our foreign policy; and if American leadership is required, as we believe it is, t<5 inspire and unite the rest of the 1 world in defense of its liberty and: , Come to AGrP For OUTSTANDMG VALUES Z 1 Welch's 120i Bot.
