A Growing Industry
An increasing and profitable industry
in the state is pulpwood production. A
report from the forestry d^artnifent states
that during the past year there was a total
harvest in the state of 1,446,157 cords, an
increase of more than 13 per cent over the
1952 production. In addition to this rough
pulpwood the pulp industry utilizes many
wood residues from other forest products
that are profitable for farmers and land
owners.
In the state there are only five coun
ties that rank ahead of Laurens county in
pulpwood marketing. This high rating is
by virtue of a total of 56,836 cords sold the
past year,' This shows how the industry is
growing in the county. It means also that
the thousands of trees being cut should be
done so selectively in order that our timber
may be a profitable money crop for years
to come in the future.
The increased demand and high prices
for pulpwood and other forest products
during the past few years have caused
many more landowners to recognize the
fact that timber is a valuable crop, and as
a result more and more landowners are
getting forestry assistance on' planting
trees which is available from pulp and pa
per companies, from consulting foresters
and the Clemson College Extension Ser
vice.
The growing marketing of the product
is bringing substantial income to i owners.
In the county, from several shipping points
—it is common to see the loading -of rail
way cars carrying the product to buyers
and a ready market.
Bod For Children e
Much is said and written nowadays
about the crime and horror “comics’ that
are flooding the country, and any intelli
gent person who examines w’hat children
devour by the millions must find them ob
jectionable. There are civic and educa
tional groups, and some denominations
that label such literature, and properly
so, as unfit and harmful for children.
Comic books are habit-forming and
take up much time that might be used
profitably. War against drug stores and
news stands that carry objectionable com
ics is not the answer. The responsibility
rests with the school and the home to cul
tivate proper standards of taste among
youngsters that will educate them to pre
fer the better. The duty of parents and
the home cannot be shifted to the church
and school, though there are millions who
hold this idea as an easy escape of respon
sibility.
We Are Making A Start Anyway
The greatest spender of all time of tax
payers’ money was Harry’ Truman with
the sky as the limit. This was the unprec
edented financial status of the country
when President Eisenhower assumed of
fice. The budget estimate of fiscal 1953
was made by President Truman in January
of that year. It is encouraging to note that
spending fell $3.3 billion below President
Eisenhow’er’s estimate which shows that
though slow—there is gradual relief in
sight for taxpayers. The way to cut ex
penditures and taxes is to cut spending.
There is no other w’ay regardless of what
we are told.
i Still with a curtailment, in spending
we had a deficit this year of more than 3
billion dollars, the smallest in years,
against more than a 9 billion deficit esti
mated by Truman for the fiscal year. The
national debt on June 30 was $273 billion
(you can’t take it in) equal to $1,685 for
every man, woman and child in the United
states.
What Entrenched Bureaucracy Does
Every informed person who studies
what has been going on in the past thirty
years knows the shocking story of the en
tirely improper activities of an entrench
ed bureaucracy that are surely pushing our
nation day and night down the road to so
cialism.
Government is now the big buyer and
seller in business. Federal agencies have
entered into so many business-type activi
ties that they constitute a real threat to
private industry and imperil the nation’s
tax structure. While few of us know the
full size and complexity of federal gov
ernment business operations, the Inter-
Govemmen^. Relations committee in a com
prehensive study has learned that the gov
ernment is the largest insurer, the largest
lender, the largest tenant, the largest hold
er of grazing lands, the largest owner of
grain, the largest warehouse operator and
commodity buyer, the largest shipowner,
the largest truck fleet operator, and so it
goes all dowfi the line.
It is estimated that if we get rid of oth
er government-owned competitive busi
ness we can reduce the national debt by at
least 30 billion dollars, cut annual interest
payments and appropriations several oth
er billions.
This all summed up means just one
thing—government should get out of busi
ness and stay out. Thereby we can un
shackle private enterprise, taxes from the
low level to top level could be reduced,
and go a long way toward restoring the
solvency of the United States by decreas
ing expenditures, extravagance and waste,
and at the same time increasing individual
income.
Many a good man has strayed into the
crooked path by following the direction of
a corkscrew.
The trout may not be biting
should, but the suckers still do.

DISCUSSES THE
LINDBERGH THEORY
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park. Mass., July 29—Readers have
been disturbed by General Lindbergh’s important
article in the July 17th issue of the SATURDAY
EVENING POST. The gist of Lindbergh’s ar
ticle is that the H-Bomb is bringing about a ne\
era in world history against which it will be al
most impossible for any country to protect itself.
This means that unless the United States is will,
ing to start a surprise World War III, our only
chance is to have such elaborate powers for retali
ation that no other country will dare start one
This will mean continued high taxes until a revo
lution in Russia or something unforeseen happens.
Whal Lindbergh's Theory May Mean
Although my Organizations are not authorities
on military affairs, we do know world history.
Certainly conditions today are very similar to
what they were 500 years ago. . Any reader can
check this by studying H. G* Wells’ OUTLINE OF
HISTORY, or Munro’s THE MIDDLE AGES, or
books on the Reformation and European Revolu
tions.
As was the case around 1450, the power of the
established churches today has distinctly weaken
ed. The rulers of the Western Nations have to
day become timid, while the Russians are trying
to absorb other nations—repeating the pattern of
500 years ago.
H-Bombt Versus Movable Typo
History shows similar conditions existed when
printing became powerful in 1450. This, like the
H-Bomb, became a threat to the entrenched rich
political Kingdoms. The Church and Kings fought
by’legislation, persecution and wars; but the rise
of the masses could not be stopped. The printed
word became more powerful than the sword. Re
formations, revolutions, and beheadings follow
ed. The discovery of the H-Bomb is unsettling
civilzation today as did the birth of printing in
1450.
Whal About Capitalism?
Naturally we do not want to see entrenched
capitalism collapse as did entrenched monarchism.
We now use legislation, submit to high taxes, and
endure small wars to protect our way of life, as
these same methods were practiced 500 years ago
to protect established monarchism. Could it be
that the fear of the H-Bomb will become as pow
erful as was the fear of printed books 500 years
ago?
For the long pull. I am no optimist. I don’t be
lieve in the Lindbergh Retaliation Theory. I,
however, do believe that the fear of the H-Bomb
(like the fear of printing 500 years ago) could
handicap our Western Democracies with a blow to
the capitalistic system.
What About Retaliation?
Lindbergh’s only hope of preventing our big
cities from being destroyed is by constant threat
of rttaliation. Such will retard the forces of Com
munism, but it will not accord with Christian
teachings. Will the threat of retaliation save cap
italism as we now know it?
The Communists will not win a Third World
War; but they may gradually increase their power
and influence by constnatly threatening to start
such a war. Surely, we may expect continual
small wars, big military preparations and high
taxes.
Preparing For Tho Wont
My grandchildren agree with me that security
cannot be obtained indefinitely by legislation,
pensions, and tariffs. As our ancestors learned to
live with “printed bombs”, we must be preparea
to live with H-Bombs. Jailing Communists to-
day may be no more effective than was beheaenng
or burning heretics 500 years ago. One of my own
ancestors, Reverend John Rogers, was so burned
“at tht stake” for translating and printing the Bi
ble in 1565.
Hence, I urge my grandchildren: (1) To devel
op a strong and sane spiriutal faith; (2) to ac
quire robust health and good habits; (3) to become
an expert in some useful industry; (4) to own a
home and raise a family in an agricultural cen
ter; (5) to have investments widely diversified
both geographically and industrially, avoiding
large cities.
THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
He (Jmus) said unto them. Why are ye so fearful?
how is it that ye have no faith? (Mark 4:40.) Read Mark
4:35-41.
One morning a little boy about a year old indicated that he want
ed the sink faucet turned on. The father did it. For a moment the
child in his father’s arms watched the water run. Then slowly but
cautiously he reached out his hand and put it in the stream.
This was important, because he had not been willing to do it since
being frightened several days previously by getting his hand in the
flow when the water was too cold. It was inspiring to see that in his
Ititle life he had begun the day by conquering a fear.
We, too, can conquer our fears. We have fears of ourselves, fears
of other races and nations, fears about bread and clothing, fears of
life and fears of death. We can overcome them all by trusting each
day in our Father’s presence, guidance,, strength, and love.
PRAYER
Father, we thank Thee for the earthly life of Jeeus.
He triumphed over every fear through His unwavering
worship, trust and service in Thy name. Help . - this
day to learn anew to live fear lees lives, for we would
worship, trust and serve Thee in the spirit of Christ.
Amen.

LOOK UP AND LIVE
By J. LELAND RHINEHART
Pastor Kinards Methodist
Charge
Route 3. Clinton
It was a bright and beautiful
morning. The sun was begin
ning to appear from behind the
hill. As I walked down the
street toward the place that I
worked, I could see a crowd
gathering on the comer. There
were signs in the windows that
signified that today was bargain
Seeing that the store was
about to be opened I stopped and
began looking through the win
dow at the beautiful display of
merchandise just inside the
store, as the clerk opened the
door of the store there was a
mad dash and the huge crowd of
women that was waiting dashed
into the store. After all the la
dies had cleared the door I de
cided, that since I had a few
minutes to spare, I would go in
side and look over the display of
merchandise that I could see
through the window. After
making my way to the display of
merchandise I discovered this
sign: “Beautiful fabrics, slightly
soiled, greatly reduced in val
ue” I could not help thinking
how true this is of many peo
ple, who are beautiful people,
that have slightly soiled their
character and greatly reduced
their value.
And yet even though they
have soiled their character and
reduced (heir value to others,
they are of much value to God.
“Are not two sparrows sold for
a penny? And not one of them
will fall to the ground without
your Father’s fill. But even the
hairs of ydur head are all num
bered. Fear not, therefore; you
are of more value than many
sparrows.” Matt. 10:29-31.
Look up and live. Trust God
for forgiveness for the past, and
trust Him to lead you in right
eous life in the futul^e. Truly
when you look to God for guid
ance you will find life’s great
est value.
Pulp Interests
Plant 11 Million
Trees In Season
Atlanta, July 24 — Six pulp
mills combined their efforts and
supplemented by three pulwood
dealers, accounted for the plant
ing of 11,820,000 trees in South
Carolina during this past plant
ing season. The survey was con
ducted by H. J. Malsfoerger, for
ester and general manger of the
Southern Pulpwood Conserva
tion Association, Atlanta.
"This figure exceeds the indus
try’s effort of last yey by 4,600,-
000 trees,” Malsberger said. “It
has resulted in putting 11,820 ad
ditional acres of idle land to
work growing profitable crops of
trees.” .
All of these trees were pur
chased from the nursery operat
ed by the State Forestry Com-
mision.
The industry planted 10,010
acres of its lands and contribut
ed to small landowners enough
trees to plant 1,810 acres. In
many cases, the use of tree plant
ing machines by the landowner
was also provided by the indus
try.
Care" Relief
Packages Rushed
To Flood Victims
An initial distribution of $11,-
500 worth of CARE packages was
among the first relief supplies
to reach victims of the Danube
floods in Autria and Germany, it
waa reported yesterday by J- B.
Campbell, local agent of the
Railway Express Agency, who
serves as voluntary CARE rep
resentative in this area.
Since cables from CARE’s Mis
sion Chielfs in those countries
indicated greatest needs in Aus
tria, where 50,000 persons were
reported homeless, $10,000 worth
of the supplies (comprising 1,000
blanket, household linen, food
and resettler’s tool packages)
were immediately released from
the welfare organization’s Aus
trian stockpiles. The other $1,-
500 worth of supplies, or 200
packages, were released for flood
victims in Bavaria through the
CARE Mission in West Germany
Funds to cover these and ad
ditional supplies are urgently
needed, Mr. Campbell stated.
Contributions in any amount for
Austrian or German flood relief
may be sent to CARE, c-o Rail
way Express Agency, Clinton,
which accepts orders as a public
service. All donations will be
acknowledged by CARE head
quarters in New York City.
