This record, the senator said, was widely publicized during the race for lieutenant governor four years ago when Mr Hollings won by an overwhelming majority \Russell injected the liquor issue into the campaign in a television address last Monday night when he charged Hollings was “against let ting the people vote" on local op tion. Wasson, a former officer of the South Carolina Christian Action Council, said he ha$ personal assur ances from Hollings that as governor he would “sign dry acts passed by the General Assembly.” Wasson, a former moderator of the South Carolina Presbytery, said: “Since a political advertisement appeared In the papers of the Pied mont area today branding my close friend Mr. Hollings as the candi date of the liquor traffic. I feel it my duty as a church man and the dry leader of the South Carolina Senate to present some facts to the church people of South Carolina ” The Laurens senator said the ad they vote in favor of local option op the sale of liquor. “Now for Senator Waison to come put and knife the church and dry people of this state by throwing his influence into the aid of a man whose legislative voting record has opposed all the church folk and dry people have stood or ... is an in- But they both agree that a savings account is a good idea for both boys and girls. \i. s. miLEi & ISTAIIISH'O I 8 S 6 to which he referred was published suit to the intelligence of the Chris by the Temperance and Evangelis- tian citizens and the dry citizens of tic Crusade.

You know, when you stop to figure how much your phone service actually costs, it’s pretty cheap ,.. only a few cents a day. Add on the taxes, though, and look what happens. Last year you paid (on the average) about $35.17 in telephone taxes. Of this, $9.96 was federal excise tax. This 10 per cent so-called luxury tax, levied as a wartime emergency measure, is a direct tax on the telephone user, and telephone service is the only household utility so taxed. We feel sure you will agree that this tax is discriminatory and should be abolished. DADDY ALWAYS CALLS when he’s out of town! When you’re knee-high to a grasshopper, it’s a mighty big thrill to hear daddy’s big, happy voice tell his baby-lamb all tike things that make her feel protected, cherished, loved. Keeping families close is just one of the nice things aboet Long Distance. Other nke things: it’s fast, easy to use, low in cost And *•- member, on all Long Distance calls: it’s farter when you call by number; it’s cheaper when you call station-to-station; and you get special bargain rales after 6 P.M. and all day Sunday.
