Alex Simp ] sori, cattle: Roscoe 0. Bundrick, poultry; and A Jerome Finley, truck farming. The city of Clinton was represent ed by How ard F Smith pharma-1 cist, who told of medical service? rendered to the public with «fn- phasis pn the responsible, position of the pharmacist, and failed attention to the development in ttye field of medicine. He told of three impor-j tpnt characteristics pf the pharma-, cist, safety and senice. Hcndersop Pitts, of Clinton, gave helpful suggestions to the farmer pertaining to the value of different fertilizers in the increased produc tion of certain crops; also the many insecticides for prevention and eradication of diseases which attack plant and animal life. D B Smith, manager of Belk's, stressed the problems of the busi ness man and outlined a set-up necessary for the operation of a de partment store, 'it must operate in a njodern way,” he*said. "The world is progressing and we as merchants or farmers must move With it.” C. B Cannon. County Agent, gave some concrete illustrations of the plight of the farmer today. Some times, he said, the farmer is at the mercy of certain promoters of sel fish interests with little real interest in the farmer's welfare. He pointed out that agriculture is a basic enter prise of the whole world but the farmer is left to work oilt his own salvation WASHINGTON AND SMALL BUSINESS” Thursday, November 23, 1957 Dr. Felder Smith OPTOMETRIST ' Phone 794 Laurens, S.

Traditionally, the American poblic holds In high respect ^he nation’s working press for objectivity In reporting the facts as they appear at any given time. Only communists and fasrista, who cannot stand up nnder scrutiny attack American newspaperdom with such epi thets as "the lying press." 0 0 0 That is due to the fact they fear a free press. In their own na tions, the press is controlled by government. Yet the Dulles ac tion marks the first time, in mod ern times, at least, that an Amer ican official by edict has sup pressed the free ranging, world wide search for facts by the American free press. • * • This has led to the question “What la State Dept, hiding?" • • • Most people have no truck with any theory that the reds might subvert the entire U.

Make sure that all addresses -ire legible and complete. “If any • parcels are of unusual size or bulk, better check with the Post Office before attempting to mail them,” the postmaster warns. The limits op size and weight of packages varies,- depending on where you mail your package When wrapping gifts for mailing, it is always better to use corrugated cartons, especially where there are a number of various sized objects in the shipment. Use plenty of wad ded tissue or newspaper for extra protection against shock, and se curely wrap each package or carton in heavy paper, anjl then tie it with strong cord. A good idea is to place a piece of transparent cellophane tape over the address portion of the label on your package to prevent defacing in tran sit, and always make sure to in clude the recipients full name, street address, city, zone and state. Postmaster Adair said that if you will follow these three simple rules, you are certain to have your gifts delivered before Christmas day: Wrap them securely, address them correctly and mail them early. When mailing your Christmas cards, use the free labels from the Post Office reading, “All for local delivery” and "all for out of town delivery.” By sorting your Christ mas cards and tying them in two separate bundles, with the address es all facing one way, you’re sure to speed their arrival. All Christmas cards should be sent by first class mail, and be sure to put your returrt address on your Christmas card envelopes. This is not only socially correct, but will enable both you^nd^ear friends to keep your mailing lists up-to-date. Christmas cards and packages for out-of-town destinations should be mailed well before December 10, and your Christmas mail for local delivery should be sent at least a week before Christmas.

Mr. Timmerman at present is commuting from his home in Green ville, where his parents now live, but he anticipates taking up residence in Clinton at some approximately early date. able in Thy sight, 6 L o r d, strength and my Redeemer.” “Thy word is a lamp unto feet, and a light unto my path.' my my I trust I do not weary you by my frequent references to Socialism, but this great nation was developed by individuals, not by Government bureaucrats, whether sometimes capable or often rather unpractical men chasing unsound theories. The tendency to look to Washing ton. or go to Washington, or to ap peal ttf Washington, lias so enfee bled us that we become supine while waiting fer the GoventTnenT ^ tbe bOenor -when Congress'TCr Comments On Men and Things By SPECTATOR National Bible Week comes every year. “The Bible,” is “The Book.” Is is found everywhere, even if not always read, but dusted off just for the visit of the minister. Whether it be of our Catholic brethren or the Saint James version—the same re velation of God is found in all its simplicity and appeal. We associate the Bible with our mothers, those saintly characters who most nearly approach the Mas ter in everyday life. During several centuries the Bi ble has been found in most homes, a constant source of inspiration, telling of our God, a very present help in time of trouble. One may study the Bible in criti cal fashion; or he may wish to be informed; but the fervent believer reads it to bring himself into close communion with the Most High. "Lord, Thou has been our dwell ing place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.” We hear that frequently at fun erals, but the message is to us, not to the departed. What ineffable joy and comfort and sustaining grace flow from that Psalm, usually at tributed to Moses,— And then the sweet words fo Da vid: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want . . . Yea, though I walk through the valley of the sha dow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me . . .” If we turn to Job, in all his af fliction we read: ‘‘The Lobd gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” Those sturdy figures were men of faith; they had not seen God, though Moses was with Him in the cloud of Sinai. We have words of Jesus, the Son of God, the second person in the Trinity, words spoken to men while He was living and going about on the earth: “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” “In my Father’s house are many mansions; ... I go to prepare a place for you . . that where I am there you may be also. I am the way, the truth and the life.” “He that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” If we tried to formulate a prayer, two prayers from the Old Testa ment seem to embrace everything for God is not moved by long-wind ed exhortations and long-winded repetitions. This, my favorite, from Nehemi- ah: Prosper, I pfay thee, thy ser vant this day. And another—“Let the words of my mouth and the meditations' of my heart be accept- to do something for us. As I cited last week, the Socialist Party ir\ 1923 had a program for taking over mines, railroads and power facilities. Along came Mr. Roosevelt with great enthusiasm and, Ijjce the people spoken of in the Bible, looking about for something new, and he was persuaded to swal low hook, line and sinker many of the schemes of the Socialists, es pecially the plan to control electric power as the surest way to control all industry. - * * * Do you recall the song of Moses and the children of Israel following the deliverance from' the Egyp tians? "The Lord is my strength and sond, and He is become my salva tion; He is my God, and 1 will pre pare Him an habitation; my fath er’s God, and I wil exalt him.” What treasury of faith we find in the Book. ' * . * * The mutual promise is set forth to create a federal power, bureauc racy whose objective would be to duplicate and compete with the sec ond largest taxpaying industry of the Nation? Already more than one-third of the nation has been placed under federal power administrators who have practically arbitrary powers over the marketing of politcially- generated power in great regions of the country. Two of these region al power dictatorships, SWPA and SEPA, (responsible neither to state nor local governing bodies) were created by order of the Department fused to endorse more Power Au thorities such as TVA and Bonne ville , \ . Is this disregard of the will of the .representatives of the people in accordance with Ameri can tradition. The attack against free enterprise in the power busines is not based on the shortcomings or failure of business-managed companies t o provide the public with adequate service at fair rates. It is deeply rooted in the philosophy of those who seek a nationalized, political ly controlled monopoly of the coun try economy in place of the free choice, competitive system thht has made America great. The electric power industry, although first on the list to be nationalized, has more than made its contribution to the public interest and the common welfare of the nation.” Do you want the Socialists in Washington to boss everything.

S. ' That socialists were jubilant at the progress being made is indi cated by this quotation from their own magazine. “Our Dreams Come True. “Our Plan for a -Public Super power System for the United States Outlined and Published *in 1923 Slowly but Surely Being Realized. “Pioneers of Public Power “Step by step this plan which the Public Ownership League pre sented and published fifteen years ago is being surely and steadily realized. \ “The Tennesee Valley authority has become an outstanding reality and its achievements steadily mounting Boulder dam has been finished ... the Bonnerville power system on the lower Columbia River is nearing completion . . .

The efforts, to seize control of the nation’s electrical industry is no longer masked with the pretense of providing ‘cheap power’ through hyrdo-eleclric development. The XiQal_ step in turning the Socialist dream into reality is that of inter connecting federally-owned gener ating stations into a nationwide po litically-controlled transmission net work that will extend the sphere of subsidized government competition into every area of the nation. There are existing and proposed government-financed transmission lines. They are built mainly by super-cooperatives and financed by funds authorized by Congress for local REA Cooperatives. Using tax money to attack free enterprise, they duplicate existing transmission lines of the business-minefed power companies car Chapman, boldly declared that The Secretary of the Interior, Os- the Government ‘is moving ahead at a record rate in setting up fa cilities for the trunk line transmis sion of power from plants now op erating and under construction.’ The questions squarely before the American people are: Do they real ize how fast they are being led into socialization of their basic indus try?
