/ Thursday, December 8, 1955 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Page Thirteen -1 pperRoom OOM NASHVILK TiNNfSMi BIms the Lord, O my soul, and forgot not all His bon- ofits. (Psalm 103:2.) Road Colossians 4:1-6. During the first year in Massachusetts, the colonists had to make several times as many graves for the dead as they did houses for the living. In spite of this they thanked God. Life was not easy for them. It was not soft or luxurious; it was hard, demanding, and cruel. Yet they thanked God. • We hear some people say today, “Oh, what’s the use; life isn’t worth it” If life is not good, then nothing is good. If life is worthless, then nothing has any value. If life is lived right, life is worth living. We can live it right by trusting and obeying our Lord. If you and I have faith in God, then we have just cause to rejoice; for we have something which no heartache, sorrow, disappointments, war, bloodshed, suffering, or death can take from us. We have Christian fellowship. PRAYER Dear Lord, draw our hearts to Thee with the power of Thy love. Teach us to be anxious for nothing; when we have done what Thou hast given us to do. help us. Lord, to leave the issue in Thy hands, and give thanks. In Jesus* name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY In fellowship, in deed, in faith, Christians prove life is good. Cyril M.

Commerce Department Expects 1955 To Be Best Year For SouHieost The year 1955 should bring southeastern business men their best year of record from a stand point of volume production and distribution, the Charleston field office of the U. S. Department of Commerce forecast yesterday. Compiling data on business operations received to date from a number of government and private sources, C. W. Martin, Commerce Department field manager, visualized the follow ing high level of activities for firms in Alabama, Florida, Geor gia, Mississippi, Tennessee and the two Carolinas when the year’s transactions are summed up. Bank debits will exceed $100 billion. Bank deposits will top $13 bil lion. Cash farm income should be around the 2 3-4 billion dollar mark. Around 150,000 permits for new homes will have been issued and the value of construction work in the area will be over the billion dollar level. Fifteen thousand new business corporations wMl have come into the region. Four million telephones will be in operation for business and residential purposes. Employment in manufacturing plants will be in 'the neighbor hood of a million and three quar ters workers. Railroads serving the area will have handled over a billion dol lars worth of freight and airlines between 12 and 15 million reve nue passengers, and will fly some 35 million ton-miles of freight and express. Probably a hundred billion kilowatt hours of electric en ergy will be produced for utility and industrial purposes. Commercial plants will have produced a half billion baby chicks and around three billion pounds of beef, veal and pork for the family table. World trade ports in the area will do a two billion dollar busi ness or more with foreign coun tries'. More than six million bales of cotton will have moved into con- sumption. A pirticularly bright spot is the trade field. Wholesale sales were running well above those of 1964, and retail merchants were experiencing one of their best years with prospects for continued brisk selling during the Christmas holidays. Depart ment store trade was as high as 35 per cent above last year in one section of the region.

I A surprising number of bright (spots appear to Presbyterian col lege football fans who review the 1 1956 season and look hopefully to the prospects of next year. Least dintinguished feature about the late lamented campaign was the final record of just three wins, five defeats and a tie. And even so, the record looks better when considering the narrow mar gins of loss in three games, two of these through the lack of extra- point conversions. Head Coach Bill Crutchfield and assistants Russ Murphy and Jerry Wampfler could look ahead con fidently toward better days. 1— The young Blue Hose squad lists only one graduating senior on its first and second-string lineups. He is Tackle Robert Harrington, of Darlington. * 2— A young sorpromore bids to become PC’s greatest running back in history. Ken Webb, of Decatur, Ga , a 200 pound fuUback just tapped for All-South Carolina honors, wountf up the season as the state’s leading ball-carrier with 828 yards from scrimmage in 155 tries for a 5.4 average. Add this to his freshman performance of 441 yards, and Webb’s two-year total reaches 1,269 yards. 3— Throughout the season, Pres byterian exhibited an uAusually powerful ground attack, one which had its full effectiveness shack led by fumbles. PC runners racked up 2,240 yards in the nine games for an average 260 yards-per- game, 4— The Blue Hose defense—.led by smashing line play which held opponents for downs in five goai- line stands within the PC ten- yard line—also turned in a good performance statistically. Oppos ing runners were able to dent this barrier for just 1,250 yards or an average of 138.9 yards-per-game. Humphrey Soys Would Be Glad To Serve On A Ticket With Stevenson Washington, Dec. 4—Sen. Hu bert Humphrey, (D-Minn) said today he would be glad to serve as a Democratic vice-presiden tial candidate on a ticket with Adlai Stevenson, but that he does not seek the post. Queried concerning New York Gov. Averell Harriman’s attack on Stevenson’s belief in “mod eration” toward campaign issues, Humphrey said they “disagree merely on details . . . That does not interrupt their long stand ing friendship. “Our party seeks unity, not unanimity—we don’t want to be s rubber stamp party.” STOP IN AND SEE YOUR TEXACO DEALER SOON H. D. Payne & Co.

DILLARD Plastic Wall Tile Now Guaranteed In selecting the decorative scheme for s bathroom, one of the most important choices facing the homemaker is that of a suitable wall covering. Because color, durability, ease of caring for the selected material, and economy, are major considerations, plastic wall tile ia high on the list of favorites with homemakers on all counts. A redecorating job, however, is only as good as the materials and workmanahip which go into it Now, for the first time, it is possible to install plastic wall tile under a guarantee of satisfaction. A leading supplier of the polystyrene raw material has just in troduced a guarantee program for plastic tile and is being joined by other raw material suppliers and by most tile manufacturers. This guarantee provides that the tile and the mastic (or adhesive) used must conform to the rigid quality requirements of the Commer cial Standard, as set up by the U. S. Department of Commerce in cooperation with the National Bureau of Standards, thus qualifying homes in which plastic wall tile is used for FHA financing. Significance to homeowners of a guarantee is evident in that it ia impossible to distinguish good and poor quality tile by appearance alone. Differences in quality can be determined only lr/ extensive laboratory tests such as those made by the Bureau of Standards. Thus, the homeowner wishing to install his own tile can protect himself against inferior products by requesting guaranteed materials. As an extension of the guarantee program for homeowners who do not wish to install their own tile, it is now also possible to have a guaranteed installation of tile by the tile dealer. To qualify for this guarantee, dealers must follow installation procedures included in the standard, which are then certified to the homeowner through a legally enforceable guarantee certificate covering the entire job. This guarantee carries the three-way backing of dealer, tile manufacturer, and raw mrterial supplier, and the result is an in stallation of lustrous and durable plastic wall tile that can be de- ended upon to give lasting satisfaction.
