Laurens Central PTA Advocates 20% Teacher Pay Raise A resolution was passed by the Laurens Central Parent-Teachef Association at its meeting on Feb. j 11 advocating a 20 per cent sal ary increase for South Carolina teachers. Supporting funds to pay for the increase would come from a “tax increase," according t* the resolution. Following is the resolution: “Laurens Central PTA approves 20 r fr salary increase for teach ers and a tax increase to cover same.” The I^aurens county senator and members of the House dele gation in the General Assembly were informed by telegram of the passage of the resolution. The message ,was signed by Robert M Clayton, president of the association, who urged the delegation to give careful con sideration to the “expressed wish of voters in your vote on this measure now before you.” Copies of the message were also sent to newspapers of the county. The Wildlife Resources Depart ment is looking for little rockfish, provided they come from Lake Greenwood. ^ Back in January, 1955, the de partment stocked Lake Green wood with 297 adult rockfish from the tail race canal below Santee-Cooper, hoping the fish would become established in Lake Greenwood. The stocking had a two-fold purpose: to pro vide an excellent game fish for the lake and to aid in reducing the over-population of gizzard shad There were no evidences of re production in the spring of 1955 or 1956, but recently the depart ment has received several reports of small rockfish being caught. These fish were returned to the water, since when the fish were stocked a law Was passed to re quire that all caught were t6 Be J what could] jthis trip | I cost you?

However, the depart^ meht says to forget about the law as far as fish under 12 inches are concerned, since it is important to learn whether the adult fish are reproducing. If the presence of the young fish is established, the ban will be replaced. Therefore, if you catch a rock fish less than 12 inches long, please preserve it by plaving it in an ice box or freezer. Then con tact one of the following persons and notify them of your catch: Senator Alex Woodle, Green- wood; Senator Robert C. Wasson, Rt. 3, Laurens; or the following game wardens: S. A.

The company al ways is engaged in some kind of expansion in serving its custom ers. Sbmebody totaled up the budget for the next three years and found it exceeds $75 million. This money includes more than $16 million for steam generating facilities. Not an acre of precious soil will be flooded for steam plants. Hy droelectric power is old-fashion ed.

Seventy-fiVe million dollars! That is just ahead; a hundred million dollars has been spent by that great company from Janu ary, 1947, to January of this year. It really is a hundred and fifty millions!! I had read quite a bit about the South Carolina Electric and Gas company’s investment, but l consulted Executive Vice-Presi dent J. M. Costello so as to be ac curate. He told me in substance, what .1 have cited—more than $100,000,000 in nine years!!! $50,- 000,000 more!! Mr. Sam Wiemer, the alert and capable publicity representative tells me that the company paid about $8,000,000 in taxes for 1956. -This great company was famous once for its massive dam and hy droelectric plant. But today it generates 75% by steam, so as to assure steady, dependable and abundant power twelve months in a year, every week, every day and every night.

Phone 1246 dping Mr. Truman. President Eisenhower has done much to improve the atttiude of the Government in some respects, but he has dived overboard in other matters. I am glad Senator Olin Johnston has made a strong attack on the foolishness, waste fulness, and hopelessness of this latest phase of the Marshall Plan. Let us look at the facts; are we willing or able to uplift all the world? What have we accom plished to this time with fifty bil lion dollars squandered all over the world? On the other hand we ourselves are burdened with taxes and more or less hamstrung in competing with a resurgent world, largley able to fight us with the money paid by American taxpayers. We must forget our personal loyalty or political loyalty to Mr. Eisenhower, when we think him Tn, error, and boldly fight for the best interests of this nation. Feed ing, uplifting, rehabilitating, and arming the world against Russia is not our business. We are just scattering our resourtes all over the world. We lived with Czars, Kaisers, Emperors, Sultans, Kings, and Despots many generations; we can’t reform the world today. . Make America strong and ju£t; and let us attend to our own business. * * * Suppose Mr. Robert M. Cooper, Director of the State Develop ment Board, should say that a million dollar enterprise wanted to find a location? So far as the state is concerned, that might not excite Mr. Cooper since he has grown accustomed to new enter prises, as well as expanded enter prises. But Lee county, Claren don county, Williamsburg coun ty, and Berkley county would be so aroused that'every official and businessman would be on his toes Our piedmont counties wouldn’t become excited bec'ause they al ready have many millions invest ed and every year many millions rrore are expended in expansion. Even opulent Richland and stur dy Fairfield would-be alert at the prospect of a new million dollar investment. However, here is an item I copy from The State: "A construction budget in ex cess of $75 million'has been fore ! cast for the South Carolina Elec tric and Gas company’s system during the next three years, it was revealed here yesterday. Thjs figure is the largest in the com pany’s history. "The company’s board of direc tors approved more than $29 mil lion for construction in 1957 Qt a meeting held in Columbia on Wednesday. The forecast for 1958 comes to a record of $32 million, and presently forecast for ’959 is another $14 million.” And here follows an editorial from The News and Courier, of Charleston: “If Congress had appropriated $75 million of ’taxpayers’ mon ey to be spent on new construc tion in South Carolina, streamer headlines would have heralded the news in the press. Politicians would have fallen over each other claiming Credit for ‘bringing these blessings to Palmetto soil.’ Glow ing statements would have prais ed the foresight of our govern ment. "Yesterday a relatively modest dispatch was published in The News and Courier and other newspapers reporting a $75 mil lion construction program. It <*an with the routine , of ^the day’s news. Not a dime of this money will come from the taxpayers. Indeed, the money will create new taxable property.

Copeland was assisted last week in the survey of a stock watering pond on his beef cattle farm near Joanna. The site is very desirably located for the purpose of livestock water The survey showed that the water im pounded will furnish water for four different pastures which are used in a rotational System of grazing. Mr. Copeland said, "the droughts of the past few years have made us realize more than ever the importance of having •i good supply of water for our livestock. Thai branch dried up last year for the first time—to my knowledge.’’ Mr. Copeland is using cost sharing payments through the iocal ASC office to help pay the cost of constructing the dam This payment has been increased from last year. It was ten cents a cubic yard, it is now twelve cents a cubic yard. Total payment is limited to the soil biulding al lowance for the farm. Appli cations must be made to the local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation office before start ing the practice. An additional 50,00 loblolly pine seedlings were received this week by the district fi^im the South Carolina State Commission of Forestry for the following landowners: L. G Bagwell, J T. Culbertson, L. T. Culbretson, Dr. L. L. Long, R. D. Godfrey. R H. Jacques and Mrs. W C. Knight. This is the third and last deliv ery of seedlings made this sea- { -on and makes a total of 237,000 j delivered by the district this sea son. Applications are now being taken for seedlings to be plant ed next year. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Knight, qt the Princeton section, have re quested assistance from the dis trict in land selection and plant- pines next season. They plan to ing of approximately 110 acres of use the district’s tree planting t service for setting out the seed lings. E. H. Shumate, of Rt 2, Foun tain Inn, has made a request- to the district for assistance in planting approximately five acres pf coastal bermuda grass this spring. This, is being done as a part of a complete soil and water conservation! plan on the farm which the SCS technicians helped him prepare in 1956. The district’s automatic bermuda planter will l>e used in setting out the grass stolons. Farmers who are to plant coast al bermuda are urged^to make their plans early, as tflebest time to plant iti is in the early spring while there is plenty of moistqro in the ground and rain is plenti ful.
