Campbell (K) 35 12 .343 — Thank You — I wish to express my sincere thanks to the voters of Laurens County for the Second Highest vote re- ceived for the House of Representatives in the.recent primary election. It h with a sincere feeling of gratitude and a sense of deep humility that I ask you again for that same loyal support in the coming run-off election Tuesday, June 26th. Once again I pledge myself to the following: % -— * If elected to the Legislature. I shall do everything in my power to encourage the industrial development of Laurens County. I shall ENCOURAGE LOCAL INDUSTRY to expand and create more jobs. OFFERING THEM THE SAME IN DUCEMENTS AND PRIVILEGES AS THOSE EXTENDED TO NEW INDUSTRIAL CONCERNS. * * I shall work with and co-operate with the Laurens County Planning and Development Commission, the State Planning Board and other individuals to assure Laurens County of her fair share of new industries coming to our state. I will vote to employ a full time secretary for our Planning Board that they may seek new industries to locate in our county. I shall do everything possible to prepare our county and our people for greater industrial growth in the years ahead that our citizens may find employment in the county instead of hav ing to seek jobs elsewhere. -<j I AM OPPOSED TO ANY TAX INCREASE. LOCAL OR STATE. With the expansion of local industry and the addition of new plants, more jobs will be available, new homes will be built The taxes from this new property will increase the coun ty’s income w ithout any increase in taxation. CJ • The Farm Income has dwindled and I am fully aware of that fact I have many patients who are farmers and I have discussed the problems related to farming. I believe that IN DUSTRIAL EXPANSION IN OUR COUNTY WILL AID AND ASSIST THE FARMER THREE WATS: First, it will provide more local markets for farm products and produce. Second, it will provide opportunity for members of the family to seek em ployment; and Third, it will afford our farmers an opportunity to go into some business to supply services or products to those who are employed in our plants. 1 . . . In spite of the much herald progress in this area, the per capita income is still about 5600.00 less than the per capita in come of the American citizen. This means that our county is about 30 million dollars short of the national average per capita income. We are citizens of America and we are deserving of the American way of life. We should work to bring our per capita income up to the national average. If you want industrial growth for Laurens County, If you want new jobs created in Laurens County, If you want more payrolls for Laurent. County, by all means vote for a "»«*» who will work to help bring it about. Vote for— Dr. C J. HART Candidate for the House of Representatives Remember, It CAN Be Do«e AB H Pet.

D. H. Roberts, superintendent, commended all employees for their efforts in making this rec ord’ possible for the first time in the mills’ 54-year history. Mr. Roberts stated, “We are proud of the, one million safe man-hours, and even more proud of the fact that during this period not one of our employees endur ed the pain and hardships of a disabling injury." For an individual to work safe ly for one million man-hours, working a 40-hour week, he would have to work continu ously for 25,000 weeks or 500 years. A barbecue honoring all em ployees and members of their immediate household will be an nounced at a later date. Dr. Felder Smith OPTOMETRIST Phene 794 Laurens, S. C.
