I Her* is something i heard over the ra dio: \ "The South Carolina Electric and Gas Company has a new em ployee — a robot brain) The ‘brain’ can do instantly what a battery of exports would take hours to do. It figures in a wink the most economical way to pro vide electricity to the company’s 23-county service area, aft the lowest fuel costs. When tod with figures about the system’s many turbine generators and transmis sion lines, this electronic device can determine the exact moment when it is more economical for power to be generated at a given Soutn Carolina Electric and Gas power station, rather than anoth er—depending on the electrical demands of any given area. In addition, other scientific prob lems can be performed by the robot brain—including studies to provide for system expansion and projected fuel costs over the next few years.” Just suppose that the mechani cal brain should show where one has been and how > many drinks he had and the degree of intoxi cation at the moment the man re turns home. The wife might just sit at home and touch a button and have ail the low-down on hubby, eh? Of course I don’t want to Jar anyone so here is something that is like bringing home the bacon: "The South Carolina Electric and Gas Company has done it again. Thisftsne it’s in the realm of RATES! The new low rate for electric heating is the lowest of fered by ANY electric and gas company in the entire nation- only l^c per kilowatt hour for residential customers to heat their homes electrically during the winter billing months of No vember through April. This new low rate is effective on all bills rendered on and after January 3, and it’s available to those folks who use electricity as the sole source of space heating in their homes. The lV4c rate will be ap plicable to all electric use in ex cess of 500 kilowatt hours for such customers.” That sort of news leaves no fear and no sting.

HOLLAND 715 Realtor Laoreas I read this in a great magazine of business: "Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out almost as much in taxes alone is he for merly got in wages.” Well, every corporation or business associa tion has been, and now is, paying considerably more in taxes than it pays the owners—stockholders. What think you of that? How happy must be the citizens of Indiana, Nebraska, and Iowa. Hear Iowa sing in a national magazine: “Sweet Land of Solvency.” Look, no debt! A multi-million dollar surplus in the state treas ury, in fact. No tax dollars re-! quired just to support a chronic overdraft! And that isn’t all that’s green in in the New Iowa. If they had our climate!! • * • I read that more than a hun dred employees of the American Embassy in Havana returned to the United States leaving only eleven members there! 1 Eleven! Only eleven!! I wonder why we need eleven. The Ambassador with a Secre tary ind a typist should be suf ficient Of course a Commercial Attache, a Military, Naval and Air Attache—and that should be all we need at any time. Our Foreign Service and all the diplomacy tend to flourish in numbers rather than in worth while service. My impression is that the diplomatic posts are ha vens for snobbery and do-nothing personnel. • • • •y for aU the so-called folderol of uplifting all the people of the earth, while our people are at great disadvantage wjth the stern competition of the very peop'e <ve are tinanctng. ? Another thing: we should put all taxpayers on the tame level and require all competitive busi ness to pay taxes. 'Why.pamper the'Japanese who dealt us the foulest blow ever dealt a nation In modern times Men are beyond all sense of justice at times. The South, treat ing with fellow Americans is still under oppression, while the Japa nese and Germans are flourish ing, even beyond our own people • • • January is a month of some 11 lustrious figures of history. Rob ert E. Lee’s birthday is the 19th. No more knightly captain ever drew his sword. After all the tumult and the shouting the two massive leaders of the Civil War era are Lee and Lincoln. We Southerners have de veloped respect for Lincoln and our Northern brethren now pay tribute to Robert E. Lee. He was the peerless leader, the soldier without selfish ambition, the man without malice, the citizen of gra cious acceptance of the «Hng« and arrows of outrageous for tune. Next month signalizes the day of some pre-eminent men of America, notably Lincoln, and that immortal leader, George Washington. As this is the centennial of the opening guns of the Civil War, we may well study that tragic era and all the direful consequen ces. At first blush we find that our Northern brethren still resent the South, though they have bounti fully helped Japan and Germany | It must amaze the historian who studies equal basis. There is noth- i ing more out of accord with the principles of our jurisprudence than the steadily growing trend toward preferential treatment for one group of citizens as against another. How shall we support and maintain all the expensive gov ernment undertakings If one group pays little or nothing, while other citizens pay heavily in taxes to carry on the govern ment That applies equally to our state. We need millions and mil lions of dollars for schools, agen cies of law enforcement—and a thousand and one other needs of the day. What kind of equality is this when one segment of our citizen ry goes scot free, while another segment pays to the last cent? The one principle that should claim our stern attention is the • observance of the equal protec tion of the law. Lai us have ant rule and apply that to all taxpayers and to all buslnea sand labor.

Morris Clayton, Laurens post master, is getting 12,000 loblolly pines planted on woodland that was recently burned over by a wild fire. Now is a good time to plant pines, but a wild fire is a bad thing to happen any time. Laurens County landowners planted over 10,000 acres to pines last year, and will plant around 5,000 acres this year. A wild fire would be disastrous to these little seedlings. Let’s help protect them. Fire is best controlled by prevention. Tom Hill, county ranger, and the wardens are do ing a fine job in this respect. These men, employed by the South Carolina Commission of Forestry, are interested in help- i n g woodland owners protect their timber from wild fire. Give them all possible support. Mr. Hill will appreciate your calling his telephone number to report woods fires or to report any burn ing you plan to do. EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Blshep Herbert His righteousness; and all these (material) things shall be added unto you.” 1 know a dear Christian wom an, now in the autumn years of life who each meal faces the va cant chair across the table. Her lot is not one of luxury. She has a little home for which she has paid by her own labor and ef forts. Her work has not always been regular, and the lives day to day. She has confuted to Public Records It is a constant source of in terest and delight to me to see the old Bible stories being re enacted in modern life. They il lustrate unchanging principles. How many of you know the sto ry of the “widow’s flour Bar rel”? It is a Bible story in Kings 17. ItNtells how the Prophet Eli jah, fleeing from the wrath of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, was told to go to Zaraphath where a widow would care for him. The prophet met her as she was going out to gather a few sticks of,firewood so she might prepare the last food in the house for herself and her son "that we may eat it, and die.” That was the extent of her want in the midst of a great famine Elijah asked her to prepare food for him, telling her that in doing so she would not lack for provis ions as long as the famine last ed. She first fed the servant of God and then herself and her had taken the last'coins in her purse for her Sunday offering, with the exception of bus fare home. And what than? Always on the following week some ex tra unexpected work or / money comes in and she carries on. I know many successful busi nessmen who live by the same principle. They are tithers and the Lord’s work comes first. They prosper in every way, even in their troubles. A notable king of antiquity bore testimony to this principle. As an old man, King David looking back over a stirring eventful life, ranging from an outlaw’s cave to one of the greatest thrones of his day, wrote, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in his way ... 1 have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” v Often as I rdad the accounts of homes broken in divorce courts —many of them young couples who do not seem to be able to get along—I become depressed. Then comes along a news story with a picture of a dear old couple who have enjoyed a half-century or more of married happiness. I am encouraged and feel that youth may still learn from age. The passing years either ripen or harden. The writer of Proverbs is correct when he states. “The hoary head is a crown of glory if it be found in the way of right eousness.
