4 THE CLINTON CHRONIC!.* Thursday, November 16, 1961 Joanna Needs Increased Water Supply That Joanna is a growing community is indicated by the fact that it needs an addi tional supply of water. In a recent letter to the Clinton City Council, Walter Regnery, vice-president and general manager of Joanna Cotton Mills, re quested initiation of steps that would fie in Clinton’s water mains with those of Joanna. Conferences and negotiations that we hope will lead to a solution of the problem are now, or shortly will be, underway. They in volve representatives of Joanna Cotton Mills, the City of Clinton, and the Chamber of Commerce. The group may have to be in creased to include the Laurens County leg islative delegation. Joanna increased its water supply several years ago by drilling and striking water in a high-producing well. But even this is now proving to be inadequate, due to recent ad dition of more air conditioning facilities in the mills. It is apparent that all communities that use wells as a source of water can no longer depend upon them for an adequate amount of water. This is true both from a manu facturing standpoint and as communities of home owners. Eventually, if they are to grow jand prosper, they must connect with streahYs dr storage systems. We hope that Joanna will be able to solve its water problems promptly, so that this impediment to its growing needs will be re moved. The Way To Oblivion A man from Mars listening in oh world arguments as to freedom and peaceful co existence would be completely confused. Half the people of the world don’t know the mean ing of freedom. The other half have become so used to having it, without any effort or sacrifice on their part, that they accept po litical trends that would destroy it. without thinking. Centralized authority that emerges from the welfare state and government in busi ness in competition with its own citizens, evolves eventually into socialism and com munism. In the name of freedom and lib eration of a people, go emment then tells the indnvidual what to do, and shoots him if he resists. When people become mere servants of public officials rather than their masters, freedom no longer exists.v When people forget this they are on their wav to oblivion.

This is the promise held out by the inter national conference on. measles immuniza tion just ended at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. Among the many research scientists reporting were two from the Pitman-Moore Company of Indianajiolis, a leader in the search for a measles vaccine. These and other scientists reported on an at- . tenuated (or modified) live virus vaccine that has been hailed by the Journal of the American Medical Association as “the new est and one of the great accomplishments in the history of public health.” From all the papers presented we may take assurance that a -safe- and effective measles vaccine will be in the hands of physician.# within a matter of months. This conference should therefore mark the beginning-of-the-end for a disease that has plagued humanity for centuries, and in this country strikes a million victims a year— mostly little people, from two to eight years of age. wiches ,red velvet cake and cof fee. STUDY CLASS HELD On Monday evening, November 13. at 7:00 p m . the WMU of A Sound And Proven Concept Proposed federal legislation which would set aside tens of millions of acres in various parts of the United States as a perpetual wil derness has gained many backers. That is to be expected—for everyone wants to protect such natural resources and destruction. However, the wilderness bill contains cer tain provisions of a highly dubious nature which should be eliminated or modified. For example, no roads could l>e built into the designated areas, and no timber harvest ing would be allowed. Some of these areas contain large quantities of good commercial timber. Unless this is harvested—under, of course, the proper sort of protective regula tion—age w'ill destroy its value, the govern ment will lose substantia] revenues, and the nation will be deprived of timber and timber products which it needs. Moreover, long experience has shown that a well-managed forest protects watershed values and increases the opportunities for hunting, fishing, and other outdoor recrea tion. And in the managed forests losses due to fire, insects and disease are minimized. For a great many years we have followed the multiple use concept on our public lands. It provides for recreation, lumbering, live stock grazing and mining, all under adequate controls. It preserves and sustains the re sources concerned, even as it gets maximum value from them. It has been an outstand ing success, and certainly should not be abandoned now. Babson Discusses Canadian Conditions Babson F'ark, Mass , Nov. 16—In these peril ous times, it is a joy for me to discuss our near- est neighbor, Canada A line more than 3,000 miles long separates us, and there is not a gun or any other lorm of “wall” or defense on this very long line between us and Canada This certainly shows that some form of nuclear disarmament should be |>ossible for all the world.

For some time Canada has been a leading trading country, surpassed only by the United States, the United Kingdom, and West Germany In the year 1961, export markets have accounted for about LVI of Canada's national output The United States currently exports only 4% of its output As a result, the Canadian dollar fluctu ales, and right now is worth less than the Ameri can dollar CANADA AND THE EUROPEAN COMMON MARKET Concern has arisen that Canada's trading po sition may be hampered by the European Com mon Market The great post war impulse for mul ti lateral trade in the Geneva Agreement on Tar iffs and Trade is changing in favor of general trading blocs The European Common Market may develop into*a new nation that could rival the population, production, amf power of even the United States. I believe Canada should examine carefully the above possibilities, and consider some form of as sociation with Western Europe Perhaps it should join this European Common Market, a move which might eventually influence the United States to join This could result in a North Atlan tic Trading Area of great strength to the “free world ’’ CANADA AND PREVAILING WAGES Many in Canada feel that joining the Common Market would result in lower wages for Canada, in view of the lower wages prevailing in Europe However, efficient workers can demand and se cure high wages I further believe that such a united front would do much to prevent Commun ism from working further westward We cannot have everything we want in this world, and we must have a spirit of "give and take "—economically, as well as militarily and politically. Also, Europeans should realize that only by including Canada can Western Europe ex tend its trading borders to the Pacific Coast It seems as if this could be a great advantage to the Common Market The very talk makes me very optimistic CANADA AND NATURAL RESOURCES Canada can supply Western Europe with oil, iron, copper, asbestos, sulphur, aluminum, nick el, pulp and other paper products, and even fish ery products One of the first projects may be to build a pipeline for crude oil from Western Canada to Montreal Relations with Venezuela are now being cultivated by the United States. How this will affect Canada's oil prospects is an open ques tion Thus far. large sums of money have gone from the United States into Canada to help develop these natural resources Very little of Canada’s imported money has been for industrial goods, but mostly for investments or speculation in Canada's natural resources. i OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE Factories may be built and go to decay; ma chinery may become obsolete; trade routes may change, but, at the worst, Canada's natural re sources cannot be destroyed even though their ex ploitation may taper off for a few years This means that Canada would profit from inflation, and investments there could be a good hedge for those who are fearful of inflation. In closing, let me remind readers that Can ada's economic growth has taken only about fitly years, and with her present political, social, and economic structure, this excellent growth should continue Hence, businessmen and investors should be optimistic about the future of Canada, even with radically changing world conditions FRIDAY EVENING PRESBYTERIAN At ELON 7:45 Over 100.5 FM WLBG Sponsored By 100.5 FM Bank of Clinton Lynn Cooper, Inc.
