TUB CLINTON CHRONICLE Pace Sere* New Plastic Kitchen Cabinets Arc Colorful and Mar-proof 1 A new line of kitchen cabinets, combining the utmost in colorful boautv and complete practicality was recently introduced at the “1954 Building Your Home Show" in New York. Completely surfaced inside, as well as outside with melamine lami nated plastics, these cabinets are available in a variety of colors and patterns. The wide range of high-stylo pastels, authentic wood grain reproductions, and novelty figures give any housewife generous material for imaginative planning, for the color line has been carefully planned to allow for soft harmony or bright contrast Carefree as well as colorful, these melamine surfaced cabinets minimise everyday kitchen chores. Cleaning is reduced to an occasional wipe of a damp cloth. Because the attractive colors are built-in, painting or refinishing is never necessary. They will stay glistcaingly new over years of service for the rugged dur ability of melamine plastic is present on all surfaces. ( Kitchen planners may specify a custom arrangement from a complete line designed to fit any floor plan. A wide range of sixes in upper and base cabinets, sink bases, and corner ‘‘Lazy-Susans’! with revolving shelves are available. The entire line features adjustable shelves, flush type doors, doors suspended on nylon bearings, and semi-concealed who calls himself Democrat most loudly is shouting to hide the fact he is neither a real demo crat nor a Democrat Outstanding Numbers On Winter Schedule At Spartanburg Auditorum The Spartanburg Memorial au- NEW SUBSCRIBERS WITH THE SICK George Timothy Dickson has returned to his home in Joanna following a tonsilectomy at the Blalock clinic.

Spartanburg Auditorium ARENA Why Do Certain Democrats Think The People Should Not Vote? (Editorial The Easley Progress) Why does the State Demo cratic Committee stand by its de cision to deny the people a pri mary? That question is posed by many voters who cannot under stand why so elemental a right should be denied. To get the answer requires some investiga tion of the nature and composi tion of the state democratic com mittee. Early in the spring of election year meetings are sched uled in each precinct in the state. Any voter may go, and they should go, but usually there is a mere handful, often just those wanting to be box managers, of ten in small precincts no one at all. In the larger precincts there may be ten to twenty-five, com posed of candidates and prospec tive candidates, professional pol iticians, seeking nomination to the County Convention, candi dates for box manager, a few, very few, citizens who want democracy to be democratic, pos sibly a preacher who has had a sudden call to citizenship’s duty. There are never enough to fur nish delegates to the County Convention and delegates who haven’t enough interest to- at tend the local meeting must be nemed. Then the County Con vention. The public, the voters, are not even interested in that. But the politicians are. That’s the reason the wheels of the convention operate so smoothly. If you happen to stray in as an inexperienced member of the public, Congratulating yourself on being a distinguished dele gate, you quickly find that you are lost It looks like every thing was already arranged in advance. “Nominate” and “move nominations close” come so fast it makes you dizzy. You and the innocents around you think that the big job is presi dent of the convention, not knowing his duties are brief and soon done. You don’t know, but the politicians do, that the key jobs are County Chairman end State Committeeman. They are eagerly sought for and in many counties of the State the State Executive Committeeman is a State Senator whose State Sen ate job may hang on his being Committeeman. In others the job is held by extremely profes sional politicians who hold some other State office, who are for mer office holders, or who make politics a profession. Few of the inexperienced ever get on the State Committee, unless they aro put up to keep another factional leader off. Now friends, if you think the tracks are greased for a County Convention, you ought to attend a state Convention, where all the leaders are school ed in the way of fast politics and the lightning fast parliamentary law of the Legislature. You may be a delegate but you’ll have to get a newspaper to find out what happened, if you have princi ples, as most of us think we have, about all you can do is take Josh Ashley’s adamant position and vote “agin hit” That ought to make you right about a third of the time. State Executive Com mitteemen are not responsible to the voters; they are responsi- bi to political factions and all too often to heavy Columbia po litical pressures. These obeerva- tions help to explain, how a ma jority of the committee still think the people should not have a primary. But in South Caro lina the people are not so dull as to believe their rights axe taken by law, and they certainly have learned to know that he dltorium’* roster of attractions for the 1984-55 season promises to present the greatest variety of en tertainment, featuring some of the best known names In show busi ness, since its opening in 1961..

December 12th has been set for the new traditional “Christmas Musical Festival” and again this year will be sponsored by a group of public spirited merchants and manufacturers in two performanc es so that as many as possible will be able to attend. Mergers May Help Ailing Texitje Industry ■Hiis has led to a wave of mer gers. In the last year and a half, about 100 mills, hiring 40,000, have been absorbed by larger textile companies. The main objects: Save money through combining sales, over head and operations; unite sales efforts and cut costs; diversify products and be able to jump quickly from one fabric or fiber to another as styles change. Textile consumption for all purposes, from dresses to tire cords, now averages 40 pounds per person per year in America. That’s up 10 pounds in 30 years. But the industry says it should go to 50 pounds to take up the slack in the present over-capac ity to produce. Styling good merchandising and sales effort to create con sumer demand will do it, says James E. Robison, president of Indina Head Mills. He says sales of his firm’s branded lines are running 15 per cent ahead of last year in dollar volume and 18 per cent in yardage. He has a strong ally: The 40 million sewing machines m the nation’s homes. And 60 per cent of his firm’s output is in piece goods sold over the counter to the home sewing trade. He keeps close check on women’s chang ing fancies in colon and finishes. To meet the trend in amateur home decoration, the firm Is bringing out a new line of 50- inch fabrics, offering a minimum of seaming for the housewife making slip covers and draperies. Some larger companies are I stressing diversification. Burl ington Mills, for instance, for years dealt mainly in rayons. Some time ago it took over Peer less Woolen Mills, and is absorb ing Pacific Mills, which turn out cotton and wool fabrics, and Goodall-Sanford, known in the field of blends.
