More On The Proposed
New District And Hospital
Since the announcement last Thursday of
the proposal to create a hospital district and
liuild a ?1.000.000 hospital for the lower sec
tion of Laurens County, expressions on the
subject by citizens of the proposed district
have been heard from all directions and sen
timent seems to be fast crystallizing in favor
of the move.
Typical of expressions heard from many
during the week are those contained in a let
ter from P. S. Bailey to Marcus S. Boyd, a
copy of which was mailed to The Chronicle.
Mr. Bailey is a member of the Laurens
County Hospital Board of Trustees and one
of the proponents for a ne whospital for this
area. Mr. Boyd is chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the l>aurens County Hospital.
Here is what Mr. Bailey said:
“1 want to make it clear from the start
that we have no desire to interfere with the
operation of the hospital in Laurens, or in any
way to take away from Laurens anything
that will harm the operation of the hospital
there. ... It is our idea to give to Laurens
any equity that we may have in the hospital
or any funds on hand. We propose to erect
the hospital here wholly at the expense of
the people in this section . . . with each dis
trict responsible for its own hospital. I be
lieve this Is fair and I believe that the Board
will agree with me that this is fair.
“As far as Hill-Burton funds are concerned,
the new hospital will not interfere with the
present hospital. Laurens County has been
allotted 146 beds. You are applying for 10 to
15 at the present under Hill-Burton. If Clin
ton should get 60 beds approved this would
still leave 71 beds to be allotted.
h believe that you will agree with me that
from a medical standpoint two hospitals will
sene better than one. It is not practical for
Clinton doctors to practice in the Laurens
Hospital, and it would not be prarttca) for
Laurens doctors to practice in a Clinton hos
pital. 1 do not believe thnt Laurens people
would come to a Clinton hospital or Clinton
people go to a Laurens hospital. I do not
believe that this is because of any feelings
between the two towns but rather that it is
natural for people to he tied to their own
lorahtiea.
We have two school districts, 56 and 54.
and they seem to operate very satisfactorily.
The county is pretty well divided as to popu
lation and property valuation.**
other appropriate views on the subject
were given by J. B Hart, of Joanna, in a let
ter to The Laurens Advertiser, a copy of
which was furnished The Chronicle. Mr. Hart
said:
“Laurens County is surrounded by special-
.zed major medical centers in Greenville.
.Spartanburg, Columbia, and Greenwood. We
have mi prospect of being big enough in the
near future to expect to compete with these
areas. . . . What we really need in the imme
diate future is adequate and convenient facil
ities to best fill our needs for general medi
cine and surgery.
“All my investigations lead to the fact
that it is a mistaken idea to assume that
sheer size in hospital facilities makes for
lower cost of construction or operation. When
I was serving on the Laurens County Hos
pital Board I was impressed by the fact that
that hospital of about 60 beds had one of the
best costs per patient per day of hospitals of
any size. The conclusion is that one three
million dollar hospital for Laurens County
might be projecting a dream too far into the
future, while two well placed 60 to 100 bed
establishments would be more economical and
quite adequate for our current needs.
These statements from two well-known
and respected citizens of this section pretty
well state the case for the building of a hos
pital in the lower end of the county.
We think their points are well taken and
will be supported by most residents of the
proposed new hospital district.
The entire proposition depends upon an
affirmative vote in a referendum, which we
think should be held at as early a date as
practicable — even an advisory referendum
without the force of law. It would serve to
guide the county's legislators at the meeting
of the General Assembly in January. The
time required to resolve the question, if suc
cessful, and enact necessary legislation would
be reduced considerably.
Instead of requiring two or three years to
iron out the prnlilMa. as has beau mentioned,
the hoepRal canid he la operation by that
“The Only Source
Of Public Revenue”
The head of the American Retail Federa
tion. an organization composed of national
and state associations representing more
than 800.000 retail outlets across the coun
try. quotes a well-known educator as urging
that the nation submit “to a substantial de
gree of purposeful direction in our lives, di
rection of investment, direction of manpow-
'er. direction of education’’ by government. In
addition, the educator said that government
controls of basic materials, credit, inven
tories and prices may also be needed.
The reason for this viewpoint is concern on
the professor’s part over the effects of in
creased defense spending. And here the re
tail spokesman said: “We all share his con
cern. But, with the shackles of control he
would place on the economy, I cannot concur,
('ertainly the larger federal budget, the larg
er and more dynamic our economy must
grow, for the only source of public revenue is
private enterprise.”
He added: “To support the higher cost of
defense, the overriding necessity of the day
is to insure an expanding economy for our
country-; and, unless we so do, we, as a na
tion, are heading for serious trouble. Only an
expanding economy can produce a steady
and increasing flow of production of new
wealth, the only basis for progress for any
nation.”
It's always easy to turn to government
controls when problems arise.

The supply of both goods sad labor, at the

to the automobile industry. Pruning the pump, re
ducing taxon, or trying any other artificial gimmicks
will not restore prosperity Bui, as soon as demand
again equals supply, wy will once more have full em
ployment The same applies to selling land or lots
for a profit. Our own property ultimately depends
upon the other fellow—that is, upon what he wants
PE ICES AND WAGES
The usual method for bringing about an increase
in demand for goods is to lower prices. According to
the newspaer advertisements of today, it appears
that retailers are now really cutting prices and that
there are true bargains. These, however, vary in
different localities Customers should “shop" and see
for themselves. President Eisenhower advises every-
ope to buy more; but be does not say “where’’ or
‘'when". He leaves that for you to find out.
Forgive me for so often referring to the “Good
Book' —hut remember that the Bible has gradually
been built up on the experiences of the ages—some
3,500 years. If you will turn to the third chapter of
Ecclesiastes in your Bible, you will find it says that
there is a time for everything. Therefore, we should
recognize the reality of the business cycle and time
our moves accordingly We must now bring business
and employment into balance. This, of course,
means that if prices decline, labor should be willing
to accept lower wages. Restoring prosperity is no
“one-way” street.
BEST STOCKS TO OWN
‘Hie law of supply and demand applies equally to
land, commodities, and labor. The wage-worker
must be willing to take less money home forja few
months and the builder and the retailer must be
jequally ready to reduce prices. If wage workers do
not now freely accept lower wages, they must suffer
from partial employment. Hiere is no halfway so
lution. Neither the President of the United States
nor the president of any powerful labor union can, in
the long run, upset the basic law of supply and de
mand. I urge readers to turn again to Ecclesiastes,
the third chapter.
"How can the wage worker buy goods if be is un
employed’" you ask I reply that he can do so with
his unemployment insurance and, if necessary, by
withdrawing some of the savings which V Vs been
