THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
Indications Are
We’D Have To Pay
If members of the Laurens County leg
islative delegation or citizens generally had
any hopes of increasing the county’s share
of teachers’ salary payments without in
creasing the tax millage, they have been
ruddy dashed.
News out of Columbia last week strong
ly suggested that such is not to be the case.
At the past session of the South Carolina
General Assembly the Laurens delegation
had a bill passed that would raise the coun
ty’s share of salary payments for teachers
to 20 per cent of that paid by the state for
the current year.
We think delegation members intended
to pay the increase with so-called “kick-
back” funds received from the state. How
ever, the bill stated that in the event kick-
back funds were not sufficient, the auditor
was to levy such additional millage as was
necessary.
The increase would involve an additional
payment of $63,000 to the teachers in the
county.
Now, from Columbia comes the predic
tion that there will be no kick-back funds
to any of the counties, since the legislature
appropriated $11 million of surplus funds
for other purposes at the recent session.
They included amounts that would have
been returned to the counties.
Since Laurens was one of the counties
that expected to pay its teachers increased
salaries with kick-back funds, it appears
now that the auditor will have to levy five
mills to get the necessary funds.
This will be in addition to the 13 mills
added in District 55 and 12 in District 56 at
the last legislative session.
Your Family Owes $2,530
We regret to report that progress is not
our most important achievement—that is,
when it’s applied to our growing tax burden.
The Tax Foundation has come up with
some fabulous figures, to wit:
Federal, state and local governments
collected nearly $65 billion in taxes in fiscal
1960, the government accounting year end
ing just before the Korean War.
In fiscal 1962 ending June 30, Tax Foun
dation estimates total tax collections will
reach $143 billion.
On a per family basis, taxes have in
creased $1,380 to a new high estimated at
$2,530 this year.
Movile, la., Record: “Supporters of Fed
eral intervention in public school education
are downgrading the achievements of Amer
ican teachers, a lower pupil-teacher ratio, and
a higher level of education in the United
States than ever before in history.”

The State’s Highways
South Carolina has one of the best state
highway systems in the country, and Clin
ton and Laurens County can boast of an
equally fine system of complementary
roads.
These highways and roads enable resi
dents and tourists to view the beautiful
scenery afforded by our upcountry hills and
valleys.
Yet, what do we see?
Trash and debris littering the highways
%nd byways of this beautiful section, thrown
from cars by thoughtless people.
Lack of pride and second-rate citizenship
is indicated by those who follow such prac
tices, and it is high time that state laws
prohibiting such acts be enforced.
We realize the difficulty of catching of
fenders in the act, but surely improvement
can be made by a determined campaign to
seek out and penalize those responsible.

Going Too Far
Breathes there the man with soul so dead
he cannot respond to a flower in his button
hole?
You’re darned right he breathes-—even if
he shouldn’t. Worse, he’s making suits for
the rest of us without a lapel buttonhole—
even for a lodge button or the chaste and
cherished Legion d’Honneur!
This degrading offense against tradition
and the human spirit began, we understand,
with the Italians when they invented what
they have tried to sell us as “the Continen
tal look.” This is achieved, in their view,
by pants so skinny that a man with Ameri
can-type feet might just as well stay in bed,
and jackets with such skimpy lapels a but
tonhole would have to go up and down. So
they left it off—and saved a lira or two on a
shipload.
Maybe you’d better look at your own
new suit—and hope you’re one of the lucky
ones who can put on his Legion button with
out the aid of an ice-pick—and who’s got an
ice-pick anyway?
So now a blank and useless left lapel is
high-style!
' if American manufacturers won’t make
suits the way American customers want
them, the latest fashion is going to be patch
es in the pants of the old one!
Babson Park, Mass., Ajril 26—1 do not expect
a nuclear war unless one starts by accident. I
do expect the cold war to last for some time, dur
ing which time fallout shelters will be constantly
discussed. It is not expected that such "shel
ters” would protect us if our city or one nearby
should be bombed. But a poorly constructed
shelter should protect from the "fallout” accom
panying nuclear war, when some—not all—of our
large cities would be destroyed.
STOCKING SHELTERS
It is one thing to build a shelter; but another
thing to stock it properly with
food and the many other articles
needed to make it livable for
two or more weeks. For de
tails, send to the Department
of Defense, Office of Civil ^De
fense, Washington 25, D. C.—or
check with your local Civil De
fense officials. At best, only
few of my readers will build
shelters. Therefore, I wish to
write this week about what the
rest of us will do. Here is some good advice.
I am urging my family and friends to seriously
consider how much we all owe to electricity—our
lights, oil burner, refrigerator, and often our
cooking and other conveniences. Yet, whether
or not we have a shelter, we would have no elec
tricity if a nuclear war should start. Further
more, those of us who would be compelled by
law to remain indoors until the federal signal al
lowed us to go out should have enough food and
water to care for our necessary requirements.
HAVE A DRIVEN WELL IF POSSIBLE
Our first expenditure should be for a driven
well, to give an independent water supply. This
would need a modern double-action hand pump
to pump up the water. This pump should be lo
cated in the cellar, as near as possible to the
"water table” level. Our city or town supply of
water may be available In quantity; but it prob
ably would be contaminated and dangerous.
Whether boiling this water would make it safe
to drink will be told us by Civil Defense authori
ties via CONELRAD (either 640 or 1240 on your
radio dial).
Until a comparatively few years ago, most
homes had a coal bia and a coal-burning furnace
in the cellar; also, a coal-bunting stove in the
kitchen. That coal bin, filled up with coal each
fall, was a real "safety deposit box.” It could
be more important than one at a local bank con
taining stocks, bonds, and our will.
IMPORTANCE OF A FILLED COAL BIN
Such a coal bin, Ailed with coal, with a small
coal furnace and small coal cook stove, should
be a MUST for every family not near a gas re
serve. At the first "shot” of a nuclear war, our
electricity would be cut off. Therefore we should
today determine how to get on without It. A bin
full of the best small anthracite or camel coal
would be the answer—plus some lanterns and a
barrel of kerosene. Both the coal and the kero
sene are merely stored heat—which can be used
to keep us warm, cook our food, boil our water,
and supply us with the light which satisfied
American families for over 100 years. Readers
who have no coal furnace and can buy none
locally may write for free catalog to Holland Fur
nace Co., Holland, Michigan.
We are used to buying stocks and bonds to
store in our safe deposit boxes; but during the
months ahead I shall discuss stocks, bonds, and
coal—with a pile of "hearts of pine” wood for
starting a fire with matches. It is a shame that
coal has be enforgotten. Some day there will be
a war from which we Americans will suffer, even
if it is not a nuclear war. Just as Dr. Einstein
discovered atomic energy which led to the de
structive bombs, so Col. Glenn by his triple orbit
of the globe showed us where the next great war
will be fought—20 miles (1,000,000 feet) above our
cities.
WE SHOULD REVISE OUR PLANS
Since February 20th we have beep living in a
new world. Most conclusions and msasurements
are useless. Even the most modern missiles
may be outdated. On the other hand, those close
to gas wells may see a renewed demand for prop
erty. Those of us in large cities further away
may not-be aWe to depend upon gas in case of-j
war. I shall not count upon gas or electricity in
an emergency, but only upon coal. Hence I talk
about Stocks, Bonds, and Coal in my "Safe De
posit Box.”
