Philadelphia CLINTON, S. C.,/THURSDAY. MAY 2. 1957 Home Demonstration Week Being Observed Homemakers throughout the nation are joining in observing the 12th annual Nation al Home Demonstration Week, April 28-May 4. Various types of programs will feature the observance of the week in this state. The theme for the week is “Today’s Home Builds Tomorrow’s World.” A comfortable home that meets the needs of the family members is the ultimate goal of ev^ry family. The American home, which plays a vitalTole in.the social and economic life of our nation, is* largely responsible for determining the character and quality of our future citizens. Today’s children must face'the woVld with confidence and courage, supported by strong bodies am} healthy minds. It is in the family circle that they first learn to understand and apply the concepts of freedom, personal re sponsibility, and respect for individual dif ferences that are basic to our way ttf life. May the twelve thousand home demonstra tion club members of South Carolina join in the spirit of the week. \ z National Home Demonstration WeeK is de- si g n eTTo~acquaum'ImmtrTiniTrti^^ young families, with home demonstration work,’the education program in homemaking conducted-by,the Cooperative Extension Ser vice of the l'. S. Department of Agriculture, the lanA-grant colleges, and county govern ments. Through this'program homemakers learn to apply the latest scientific methods developed by public and private research. The general aim is to strengthen home and fam ily life by helping women become" more effi cient homemakers and more effective citi zens in their communities, state and'nation. Home demonstration programs help farm families use the newest, most reliable infor- mat ion and methods on such subjects as foods and nutrition, clothing, housing, honte furnishings, household equipment, home management, health and safety, child care, and development, family relationships, fanv- get the membership, as a matter of course. Right-to-work is a potent weapon against the goon, the exploiter, and the racketeer. We Agree Raymond Moley, in one of his Newsweek columns, d£als with the proposal that the government embark on an all-out “crash” program of atomic electric developfnent, at a huge cost to the taxpayers. Mr. Moley quotes Chairman Straus of the Atomic Electric Commission as sayingf “The forces of traditional American free enter prise are moving on a broad front.” Then Mix Moley details what is going on. He say's that at least 21 American firms are building or have orders to build 51) reactors for civilian purposes. Some will go to private Jmyers, some to the government, some for export. In addition, American firms are carrying out ambitious plans for uranium ore processing mills, nuclear fuel element manufacturing plants, and other necessary facilities. We have become the leading uranium producing nation in the world. Where, nine years ago, 90 pet* vent of our uranium came from over- 1 seas, now 60 per’cent originates in North* America. ...-Mr MoJev concludes: “With this bright prospect of a new industry, competitive and privately operated, with hundreds of millions of investment and countless jobs, it is a poor time to impose the paralyzing grip of gov ernment monopoly.” Everyone who wants to see this’country lead the world in atomic j development for peace time purposes—andj see. it done in the most efficient and least' wasteful manner—will say amen to that. Babb Appointed Mental Health Chm. For Laurens County Laurens, May 1—Mrs. Belton R. O’Neall, state fund campaign chairman for the South Caroline Association of Mental Health, has joined with the association's pres ident, James H. Simkins, both of Greenville, in announcing the ap pointment of Thomas A. Babb as mental 'health campaign chair- mari for Laurens. Mr. Babb will be in charge of the drive to be held here during May.) In making the announcement of Mr. Babb's appointment, they pointed out that this fund cam paign will give Laurens county citizens an opportunity ,tb partici pate in the fight against mental illness, the nation’s number one health problem. Mr Babb is a practicing attor ney in Laurens and a past mem ber of the South Carolina Legis lature. He is vice-president of the Laurens County Council of Social Agencies, a past president of the Laurens Rotary club, sec retary of the Laurens Bar Asso ciation. and vice-president of the Laurens Chamber of Commerce. He is a trustee of the First Methodist church, has served as county chairman of the locaj chapter of the American Red Cross, and has served as a mem ber of the Board of Directors of the County Tuberculosis Associa- tioii. ' ily economics, good business practices, mar keting and consumer buying, and public at- others say there is waste and extravagance in the fairs. • • _ .■ Two voluntary local leader^ are selected by each community club to assist the county home demonstration agent in promoting and conducting the program for their respective clubs.

' Various reasons lire advanced. Some t>ay the federal government is just spending too much. The Fundamental Reform Senator McClellap <d Arkansas, who has earned widespread •praise for .his perform ance as chairman of the Senate committee in vestigating union racketeering, recently ap peared on the “Meet the Press" TV-radio program. The'evidence so far produced by <hows the his investigating body, he ^aid, need for .federal laws to protect union-ftmeh- and to guarantee free.union elections. Then he made a significant observation— that it may prove to lx* “imperative” to enact a federal right-to-work law, though he per sonally hopes.that,the states will do that on their own hook and so make federal action, unnecessary. There is every reason to believe that the right-to-work law (which simply provides that either membership or non-membership in a union cannot be made a condition of em ployment) is the biggest ^and most funda mental reform now needed. The union shop— under , which a man .must join or be fired within 30 days after getting a job—amounts to a form of-involuntary servitude. It also creates union monopolies—and monopolies in any field are classic sources of corruption. If a man is forced to become and remain a dufcs-paying union member in order to feed, house and clothe his family, the union doesn’t ‘have to “sell” itself on the basis of service, "integrity, or anything else."The union heads are dictators, with the power*of dictators— and we are learning now that some of them hav^ shamefully abused these powers. No. good and honest onion—and there are a gfreat many of these, officered by men of high principle and ability—need fear right- to-work. If the heads do a good job, they’ll * r federal budget. Others say they want it cut so they can get a reduction in federal taxes. All-these reasons are good—but there is a^com- pelling reason aa to why it must''be cut, and that reason is that the states and local communities are going to lose their identity as governmental units if it is not cut. Our population is growing rapidly. As it grows, 1 we want to maintain our stahdard of living, even I increase it if possible. This will take money l Where is the money .coming from? That used to be a very pertinent question, but in recent years it has fallen into some measure of disrepute due to the ascendency of those who would have us be-! lieve that thrift and solvency belong to the “horse and buggy” age and have no place in modem liv-- ing. As a group of socialist members of Parlia ment told me when I was in Great Britain in '1949. "Dqn t be so concerned about where the money is. coming from; just think of the great social bene fits that w'e are now providing.” Regardless of all thik, jhoweyer, it is still a per- Unen t question i Whcee” is. the money _ comin g from' 1 The answer is that, in spite of all the attempts to hoodwink us or make us believ*e to the contrary, there is only one place it can come from—from those who earned it in the first place, from the people themselves. The people live in the states, therefore the money comes proportionately from each state as provided by the people of that state. Which means, k of course, that the federal budget is actually a budget superimposed upon the budgets of the va rious states, that both the state budgets and the bXderal budget are paid for With money furnished by the people back. home. Certainly, governments in a free nation in and of themselves have no money. This also means something else that is easy to overlook, nqpiely, that the federal debt is a peo ple’s 4ebt and that the people of each state owe their proportionate share of the debt, depending upon the wealth of the state. Therefore, whenever we see a newspaper or a chamber of commerce or a local government gloat ing over the fact that the community it represents has received a grant of federal funds—as we often do—we cannot help but wonder if they simply do not realize where the money is coming from, if they blind themselves to the fact that they sent the money to the federal government in the first place, if they really think they are getting “some thing for nothing." Don’t, they know it would have been much better and much more economical to have kept the money at home in the first place and paid for what they needed with their owtj money. • . ^ But the trouble is, of course, that the federal government has been taking a larger and larger share of the people’s taxes each year until now the local governments do not have enough money to do for themselves what needs to be done. It is for this reason, as we pointed out, that this federal tax take must be cut so that government can re turn to thg people where it belongs. ’ Just to show what has happened during the last fifty years or more: In 1902, the federal govern ment collected $517 million in taxes, the state and local govmments $4,016 million! In 1942, the fed eral government collected $13,382 million, the state and local governments $9,612 million. In 1952, the federal *»vemment collected $63,909 million, the state an<4 local governments $20,T60 million. And in 1956, flie federal 'government collected $75,112 million, the state .and local governments $27,644 million. The basic principles of our constitutional re publican form of government—individual freedom and local self-government—are being swallowed up in the maw of a huge federal government And the people are paying for it all!
