In a mo ment there was a lull in the traffic, and he heard her go across the'StriH't. The blind man, hearing no vehicles in motion, thought the light had changed, .hist as he stepped out in the street the flow of traffic reached the corner once more Though frightened, he manged to reach the op- posite corner The young lady never realized she had endangered the life of one who had relied on her for guidance. ■ \ People all about us. in our community and throughout the world, are looking to us Christians to sho\v them the way. Often we are not aware of their great need or of our influence upon them Only as we become sensitive to their need, as .lesus was sensitive to the women who touch ed the hem ot His garment, can we know the great joy of serving. PRAYER Heavenlv Father, as we look out across the world, we see m, much need that our hearts cry hut. Send us forth with love and compassion to minister to the needy and bring the love of Christ to all. Id His name. Amen.

Forty-four Laurens Soil Conser vation District Cooperators this week received 11,00(J bass for stoek- ing their farm ponds. All farmers were given help through the district and the Soil Conservation Service tcchniliaps in *irveying. of the ponds and t securing the fish. In many case* the farmers received cost-sharing help in constructing the ponds through the local ASC of fice The fish were furnislfed to the district through the Federal Fish a n d Wildlife Service and were grown in the hatchery at Orange burg When ponds are properly stocked, fertilized and managed they pro duce good fishing in addition to supplying w a t e r for irrigation, stock watering and recreation. •'The yield Of catchabJe fish from an unfertilized pond will probably be about 15 pounds per acre as compared to 150 or more pounds per acre from a fertilized pond.” said W W Neely. CS Wildlife bi ologist for South Carolina. Mr.. Neely said that. “It's easy to have a good fish pond but just as easy to have a sorry one ’ Some of the important points to consider for a good pond are: (1) Pick the right kind of location. (2) Clear the basin of all trees and shrubs. (3) Get rid of all wild fish. (4(Stock only with bass and bluegills. (5) Don't fish the pond until the bass I have spawned. „ * * * T H Copeland of Clinton, was as sisted this week by the local SCS of fice in laying out four meadow out lets on the Shaw place, six miles south of Laurens.

Sumwalt, recognizes the pre eminent public service of B. M Ed wards, a man of so* many great qualities and of such transcendent service to humanity that the Uni versity really honors itself in the tribute to Mr. Edwards. The occasion was the awarding of the Algernon Sidney Sullivan tribute to two students and “one person not on the campus.” Miss Margaret Elizabeth Caughman of Lexington, and Mr. Percy A. Wha ley of/ Columbia, were recognized and honored for “outstanding cha racter, high ideals, influence for good and spiritual endowment,” to quote freely from the newspaper ac- cpunty. And 1 quote The State’s ref erence to Dr. B M Edwards: "The Sullivan Foundation has al so provided that the University j‘has the privilege of honoring’ a person not on the campus This per son's life and influence in the larger community also must reflect these same characteristics of selfless ser vice and dedication to the welfare of his fellow man that has just been recognized in members of the se nior class. I "Each year, therefore, the Uni versity takes great pride in select ing some outstanding citizen whose influence for high ideals and whose public service is preeminent. This year we select a man whose career as a banker, as a national govern ment official, and as an industrial statesman is one Ur be proud of. However, today we ignore those ac complishments Instead, we think of a fellow citizen, of a man who has retired from a successful business ■ career to devote himself whole heartedly to community enter prises Among these is the raising of substantial sums for the assist ance of private colleges to enable them to carry on this great work of college education, hospital drives for funds, funds for the needy.*can- cer crusade, to mention only a few When*\er there is a need for as sistance he la always ready to serve A* a public benefactor in this and neighboring states we take pndr and pleasure in presenting the Algernon Sidney Sulhvaa Award for IMS to Byron Maiet Edwards.

Were the Japanese ready and eager to surrender months before the actual surrender’’ The National Review of May 10, says in parf: “Two days before President Roosevelt left for the Yalta Con ference, he had received from Gen eral Douglas MacArthur valid Japanese peace overtures virtually identical with those which were ac cepted in August as the basis for the Japanese surrender. They were made up of some five separate pro posals, two of which came through American channels and three through British. These Japanese peace ‘feelers’ were not irrespon sible, anonymous, ■fly-by-night’ pro posals, but ‘came from responsible Japanese acting for Emperor Hiro- hito.' General MacArthur urged President Roosevelt to start imme diate negotiations with the Japa nese on the basis of these overtures, and warned against inviting or urging the Russians to enter the war in the Far East Roosevelt rejected MacArthur* advice and. figuratively, threw MacArthur's vitally important m- formatioa and suggestions into the waste basket, with Hie remark that M.m Arthur is our frealm aad our poarett pabUnan veil pewrmdrd in Yalta where be rraatad the ranceaaieut la Buaata the Soviet Vmam tbe •a tb* Far Enat *atf played a erwnnl rate at tbe kdev ewwry af Me Cl w China Tbe Maady warfare tbe Far Ae ■ a* far sta real mtktmry naemly to the ridiculous and alarming ten dency for our Government to pile on excessive taxes on private enter prises. virtually bleeding thi'm white while investing our tax money in competing enterprises which pay virtually no taxes and operate for the special benefit of preferred cit izens. . ' I have before me a radio script which has so astonished me that I have asked permision to use it.

The company’s share of the mo ney which goes for the support of the counties and cities in which it operates, and to the state and fed eral governments, was the largest in the history« of South Carolina Elec-trie and Gas. It reached a total of over ten million dollars, an in crease of 8 3% over the previous •year. During 1957. the 1.915 em ployees of the company were paid $8 g million. The stockholders, the owners, were paid $4,938.92. In ad dition South Carolina Electric and Gas invested 24.9 million dollars in improvements and new construction of facilities to serve the growing demands in the 23 county area in which it operates.” Let me mention i that the wages paid are high; no skimping there. Socialism already here!! 8.8 mil lions for employees; 104 millions for taxes!! And $4.938 92 for the * owners'! To sum it up: The owners, those who put up the money; who bear all the risks, received $4,938.92; the workers received $8,800,000; and for taxes $10,600,000. How can we hope to persuade men and women to invest their sav ings in business enterprises when the investor takes all the risks and hazards of busines and receives four per cent on his money? And that subject .to individual income taxes. Without any risk at all the in vestor can put his money in sav ings for 34 to 4 per cent. * We are killing the] goose that lays the golden egg.

PH A R MAC 1ST HOWARD’S PHARMACY in He is in close touch with the people. He has the experience and qualifica tions to make this state a great gover nor, and the PEOPLE are going to elect him. He will oppose any increase in taxes, including the talked of increase in the sales tax. He says the trend to add more and more taxes to the backs of the salaried people and wage earners must be stopped. Reared on the farm, he knows first hand the problems that confront our farm population. He believes our farm ers deserve more than a bare living. As a merchant himself, he is solidly against new laws that hamper and throttle our merchants, and he vigorous ly favors changes in the unfair floor tax now imposed on merchants’ stocks Hs is in full sympathy with aO who wort for a llvta* His to one of utmost eomi'VratkMi Am* to Os pries af bile license plates will be opposed. “Tbe automobile, says Bill Johnston, “is the most over-taxed piece ef property in South Carolina.” He is in close touch with the people in every nook and corner of the state.
