The Glemson men are a great force, or could be. but this is one time that thev seem to be indifferent. Does community? Are you depending that our people may have a bet- on the farmers?

In some communities the pay roll is a million dollars a year, tor .and .the members of the House.

When great water developrnents like TV A. and Santee-Cooper have to rely on steam power it seems ab- .-urd to waste land and money on water power, except in cases of many small dams, as suggested by Mr. Wilbur Thornhill and oth ers. Incidentally we are for econo my, all of us, but let the nation continue" to pour out billions for our favored projects. So far as the wastefulness of Hartwell dam and others—may be considered I frankly admit that we Americans are ridiculous in advocating economy at home while so recklessly throwing ♦way money abroad. Our government is really very -j-poerr-tt -must- •be-fee-R-ifr-hot-able to build a post office or Federal Manning although the govern- building in the little town of ment has owned a fine lot about ten years. In that time our pov erty-stricken government has. done so much for the *ther peo ple of the world that it cannot possbily attend to the heeds fc at home. I do not advocate a public building for show; if the govern ment does not need a building it should not spend public money for it; but -it is spending public money for several buildings. How a Congressman .can vote for the give-aways to Europe, Asia. South America I cannot 1 • see. It is the duty of Congress to control the purse; and it should “clamp down” on the spending of tax money; no tax money no money at all. should be given, nor credit either, except for im mediate needs of the nation at home. I endorse the following from The Wall Street Journal: “Since the end of World War II the United States has poured more than $25 billion of foreign aid into Western Europe. More than $8 billion dollars of U. S. aid has gone to Great ■ Britain alone. The purpose of this money was to help rebuild the economy and the military’ strength of these West European natiop/ so that they could supppffthemselves, defend themselves and be useful and strong allies for the United States. — —, Now the Eisenhower adminis tration, through Vice-President Nixon, says that the United States must give Great Britain further dollar aid because of her financial plight resulting from the Suez war. The British people will cer tainly have the sympathy of this country as they face another era of austerity. In the name of humanitarianism if no other, the United States may well decide to ease that austerity and once mor e endeavor to help rebuild our old friend and ally. Nonetheless, Mr. Nixon’s pro posal raises some question that will not be answered by ignoring them. If we are to help thfe Brjtish, are we to also help the French, who are in straits, 'too, because of their part in military adven ture in Egypt? What of Israel? And if we are to help these par ticipants in the name of humani tarianism, what about the ones on the other side, the Egyptians? And what of the completely in nocent bystaiders who are also suffering in one way or another? The impact of the oil ‘shortage brought on by the Suez war also is bding felt in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy. Will they not also then, have a call upon us? If these questions are always to (continued on page 7) MURRAY GARBER S — ^ HALF PRICE : : CLEARANCE OF ALL WINTER MERCHANDISE Wier Completes Staff of Deputies —— Laurens, Dec. 21.—Sheriff-elect Caldwell W.
