G. M. Davenport of Greenwood shows his son. Marion, where the proposed Tabernacle of “Sacred Acres” will be built. The minister is helping trans form into reality plans for a sanctuary of prayer for all Christian faiths in the Bethel Grove section of the county. Mr. Davenport is a former pastor of the Lydia Mills Pentecostal church. He is convinced, he say&, that Sacred Acres will serve as a great haven of prayer for those in need' of aid. A driveway will be built through the ground with a brick column on each side of the entrance bearing the names of 16 persons who contribute as much as $16.00, the cost of an acre of the 40 acres acquired for the project. 1 a t HAMILTON sfzcJAummewRY maz A Regular Chronicle Feature ELECTRONIC DEVELOPMENTS MAY COUNTERACT INFLATION Wylie Renamed By PC Alumni, Gets Annual Award By ROGER W.

Electronic perceiving, memorizing, calculat ing, and concluding mechanisms will be widely used to see and act far beyond man’s physical powers. Engineers have developed auto matic elecronic equipment which reduces by at least 50 per cent the time required to make color plates for printing. This reduces costs, saves time, and assures high-qual ity color production. The t e 1 e- phone and telegraph companies and the rairoads have already made very important savings in time, la bor, and equipment through the use of electronic mechanisms and devices. The air lines and the mil itary forces have found them in valuable. Only the bus companies lag in the procession of progress. Now Saving Time and Labor An electronic inventory control system will accomplish, in a mat ter of days, what ordinarly takes scores of people a period of several weeks. In ’the field of medicine the electron microscope, which magnifies more than 350,000 di ameters, is bringing to light much new information regarding viruses, bacteria, cells and tissues. There is also electronic equipment for the inspection of medicines, as well as of food and beverages, which will prove big labor and time savers. I am told a large insurance com pany will displace 1,000 women with new electronic equipment.

Hence, these ques tions arise: (1) Instead of heating the air in our homes and offices in winter, why not electronically, merely heat our bodies? This might eliminate present heating systems and the use of fuel. (2) Could not the necessary food consumption be radically cut by treating, electroni cally, the food we eat either before or while eating?

The College’s coveted Alumni Ser vice Award goes this year to Mr. Wylie. He was named to another two- year term at the annual Association meeitng held recently on the PC campus. At the same time, P. S. Bailey, of this city, was re-elected to the Pres byterian board of trustees as one of three alumni representatives to that body. He will serve three more years.

It seems fantastic, but their diag nosis correspondes very closely with the "check up” which my phy sician gave me after the use of va rious machines and the consuming of considerable time. I surely would not recommend such elec tronic tests as a substitute for pres'-1 net medical diagonses; but they! may become of valuable assistance | and have definite curative powers.

Grid Race Columbia, Octi 26. — The state’s seven college football teams head in to a nearly full card this week with the University of South Carolina riding a shaky crest. Its 6-0 victory over Clemson on Thursday gave it the top record among state teams. But its meeting with Virginia in the Oyster Bowl game at Norfolk, Va., Saturday may drop it right back to what looks like this season’s nor mal for the state elevens. Clemson opens the offerings Fri day night at Boston College, a team it had no trouble with last year. The USC-Virginia game the next after noon is the only afternoon game this week, the rest being at night. Saturday’s schedule finds Lenoir- Rhyne at Newberry, idle Saturday, in a homecomer; Wofford, crushed 50-0 by Tennessee, will try its luck at Furman, which slid by Davidson 14-13; and Presbyterian, a 28-7 vic tim of The Citadel, will be at Ca tawba. The Citadel will have an open date prior to its Nov. 8 meeting with South Carolina at Charleston.
