) THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday. December 15, I960 Time to Talk Back Since it was published “for private circu lation’' amonjr those jrifted students of jrov- ernnvent who will dejineate President Ken- ncLi^'-S'-^'Pw-Prentiers’’ for him. you may net have seen Harvard Historian Arthur hlesinyer’s pamphlet. “The Hiji Decision 1 l ri\ ate Indulgence or National Power. Hut you very definitely should know about it. since the National Associated Business^ men--America’s, voice of small business— SiH-s in it the blueprint for the takeover of . business by goVernment. l*rofessor Schlesinger calmly regards “our national wealth and talent" as properly be longing, not to those who created the wealth, or to those who developed and employed the talents that God gave them, but to the gov ernment. He complains that the Eisenhower administration spends "a smaller share of our gross national product (a phony yard stick if there ever was one)- on public ser vices and facilities today than ... a decade ago.” We have failed dismally, in-tht I ~ScRTes- inger view, to expand our "social overhead,” under which he lists “education, medical care, housing, slum clearance, urban and suburban planning, social security, provision for the sick and the aging, roads, recreation, water, assistance to distressed classes and areas, resources and energy development." To remedy the deplorable situation in which a timid federal government has failed to completely absorb state and local preroga tives and responsibleies and has allowed the misguided citizenry to retain some of its earnings only to spend them foolishly on "tailfins and television,” $chlesinger &. Co. would simply revise the “allocation of re sources.” In plain English, since business and individuals are so stupid and selfish about handling their own money, the government will have to do it for them. Throughout his pamphlet, the professor refers to the people of the US not as citizens or taxpayers, but as "consumers.” Obvious ly, he seeks to create the impression that we are all victims of a monster called “busi ness.” He overlooks completely the fact that ours is a business nation, that these consum ers—unless they are doctors, lawyers, den tists or on a government payroll — them selves constitute the business community. It is therefore especially interesting that Dr. Schlesinger’s initial suggestion for increas ing federal revenues is a tax on advertising. That his first effort should be to deaden the nerve that energizes the American eco nomic system should be significant not only to the National Associated Businessmen, but to every last one of us who believes that gov ernment must be our servant, nor our mas- terd Nobody elected this Schlesinger to any thing. But he speaks from on high—and we had better start talking back.

B»bMa U “Operation Santa Claus” For the nineteeth time in as many years, a dozen troupes of warm-hearted patriotic and unselfish performers will be carrying Christmas to American servicemen around the globe under the USO banner. Traveling by plane, helicopter and bus, nearly 100 USO performers—who will again include the inexhaustible Bob. Hope — are faring forth any day now to bring a touch of home to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and sailors for whom Christmas might otherwise be a desperately lonely time. . r - '„^***«*—' Despite the ydiith of their prospective au dience, the modern young ladies who will "Turn Back the Clock” in recreating such fabulous females of the Gay Nineties and the Roaring Twenties as Eva Tanguay, Hel en Morgan, Anna Held and Nora Bayes, will surely be as warmly received as ever their famous prototypes were. And when Showgirl Naomi Collier, the 1960 model Eva Tanguay .belts out the red head’s famous “I Don’t Care”—her GI au dience is going to know better. Because these players cheerfully forsake their own cozy firesides and families and friends at Christ- mastime; and because Stateside Americans continue sending these glamorous Christmas packages to those standing watch along the cold war' ft opt, our boys and girls are as sured a lot of people care very’ much. To USD’s "Operation Santa Claus” and the selfless players that, year after year, make it the most unique smash hit in show- business, our gratitude and applause. as well as brothers, sisters, and cousins. All of his estate went to his children outright, in equal proportions, or to their heirs. None went to the brothers or sisters or other relatives. One child 23 years of age received the money outright; since the other was a minor, his share was entrusted to the guardian appointed by the court. The third man left a wife but no children; he did have brothers and sisters and cousins. His es tate exceeded $100,000 The wife will be given the $25,000 which she would automatically receive from an estate valued at $25,000 or over. In this case she also will get a second $25,000. The re mainder will go to the man’s brothers and sisters ■ or their heirs who are now springing up in all a directions. i® WILL# OLDEST LEGAL DOCUMENT * Originally when a man died all his property ® went to the oldest son. He was supposed to take ■ care of his mother and to secure work for any ( g other children Then land owners sometimes died ! ^ without leaving any children; anticipating this, the father left a written document outlining his ® wishes or “will” at his death. These wills were ■ considered sacred by the Roman Courts, and their p policy and purpose were adopted by the English ^ Courts and carried to America COST OF MAKING A WILL 1 To enable your life’s savings to go as you ! would like, you should have a local lawyer make | up your will. If it is simple, namely leaving to your wife, he may not charge you more than twenty dollars. If it is more complicated, leaving property perhaps to your wife, in trust—allowing her the use of it and the income during her life time with provision for equal division among your, children or their heirs—then your lawyer will charge more. He will charge according to the amount of his time you take. Laws concerning the distribution of estates where there is no will are subject to change. THE CASES CITED ABOVE ARE BASED UPON THE LAWS IN EFFECT IN MASSACHUSETTS AS OF JANUARY 1, 1957 WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR SETTLING YOUR ESTATE, THESE LAWS MAY BE QUITE DIFFERENT THE BEST WAY TO’ ASSURE DISTRIBU TION OF YOUR PROPERTY EXACTLY AS YOU WISH IS TO HAVE YOUR WILL DRAWN- NOW BY YOUR LAWYER This also enables you to make some donations to your local church and hospital, which everyone should do. To provide for the carrying out of your wishes, your will should name an Executor in whose efficiency, stability, and responsibility you have confidence. The Kindergarten will close for Christmas holidays on Friday, December 16, and resume sched ule on Tuesday, January 3, at 9:00 a m. ■ The Showplace Of 1 I Laurens County 1 i MIDWAY: ■ DRIVE-IN THEATRE g Clinton-Joanna Hwy.
