-s?- THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Cttaton, 8. C, Tharaday, Ptfiber 27, 1H2 The New Year The New Year cometh and the old year must depart, and so it has been for centuries. Once every 365 days, the world pauses for a moment of refl«rtion w for a brief but meaningful examination of self apd surroundings. Then, with a shrug, a new, unfetter ed page is prepared to record the fulfillment of a new set of ambitions, intentions and purposes. Through the centuries, customs and traditions have contributed to the New Year observance to make it more than a time to marie the passing of another era. It is a season of awakening to the realization that we have not accomplished all of the things once planned. It is a time to be grateful for the blessings received. It is a time to plan and hope; to lay the mental foundation for new ambitions and aspirations. _ While New Year resolutions are no more worthy, nor more likeily to be kept, than resolutions made at Thanks giving or Christmas, there is a psychological advantage that favors the custom of making New Year promises. The New Year marks the beginning of another era and, in a sense, we start with “a dear slate.” There are other advantages, too. We are older, wiser, and should have profited from our experiences, good and bad. One need not make resolutions, however, to profit from the coming of a New Year. Blueprint ambitions and dreams are no more important than a determined effort to do things a little better, learn a little more and give whatever talents we may possess to the making of a better world in which we live. And there’s no better time to start than with the New Year, when each bright new page on the calendar has ample room to record every achievement. Crass Nfl News MBS. HABOLD AUSTIN. Pension Crazy An Associated Press news dispatch re ports that the ambition of Britain’s male high school seniors is a nice safe job with a pension at retirement. A London head master who has made a study of the situ ation concludes, “Nobody wants to be at the top of anything.” He was discouraged to find that not a single boy wanted to be prime minister, admiral of the fleet, field marshall, ambassador to the United States, archbishop of Canterbury or head of the Bank of England. “Instead,” he said, “the boys look forward to becoming clerks, man ual workers, draughtsmen and hairdressers ... We are turning out hordes of prema ture pensioners of life.” The headmaster based his findings on questionnaires the boys had turned in to government employ ment officers. Pet squirrels in a city park live for but one thing — peanuts tossed to them by amused superiors. A nation of welfare stat ers winds up on the same boat. American Enterprise Mistreated SENSING The Cross Hill - MountvflW Home Demonstration Club held its December meeting at the home of Mrs. Jerome Finley, with Mrs. Hugh Jones as co-host ess. The president, Mrs. Roger Gabbert, opened the meeting by reading the thought for the month. The project song for the month was sung. Mrs. J. A. McKittrick gave an inspiring Christmas devotional. Thirteen members responded to the roll call, with each telling what she liked most about Hie Christmas season. Mrs. Harold Bishop was pro gram leader. Her subject was “Leisure Time for the Family.” A reading, “Please Fix Ros ie.” was given by Mrs. P. H. Miller. Miss Taylor gave the demon stration on Christmas decora tions. After the program the ex change of gifts was enjoyed by all. The hostesses served refresh ments. Suppose Cuba, made into a Soviet base only 90 miles from the southernmost tip of Hie United States, was a menace we could not accept, whatever the risks our opposition involved. But there are other menaces to the se curity and strength of this country than the Soviet empire and its many satellites. Not the least is the spending of billions for non- essential purposes which presents a con stant threat to the value of our currency, which is a source of spiraling wages and other costs, and which reduces, step by step, the power and prestige of the nation. This is no longer a question of what we might like a paternalistic government to provide for us. It is a question of what w’e can afford. Suppose, for instance, this Administra tion came out for rigid economy in every area of government? Suppose the Ameri can people were told, clearly and unequi vocally, that a sound currency, and an ef ficient economy capable of meeting world competition, are as much an element of power as great military forces, and that the price of freedom and survival in this age is the elimination of needless waste? Suppose they were told the simple truth? One need have no worry as to what the response would be. Everett, Wash., Herald: “In order to take advantage of woman-power, the nation has been encouraging girls to study science and engineering. There is, however, no flood of the fair sex into these fields. A 513-member freshman class at Case Insti tute of Technology in Cleveland, one of the leading engineering schools, indudes only two girls. But when the gals think about this for a moment, and study the male-fe male ratio of 5U to 2, they may be inclin ed to reconsider.” By THUBMAN Executive SOUTHERN STATES INDUSTBIAL COUNCIL While the Kennedy administration continues to plug the Alliance for Progress and tells the nation that it is winning friends and ifluencing people in Latin America, U. S. business firms that operate in the area know better. Not often, however, do these private enterprise organisa tions speak out in candid fashion. But one such company—the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation—has spok en out wiht unusual frankness. It has issued a white paper in which it documents the "mistreat ment” of private enterprise in Latin America. It points out that this mistreatment is threatening relations between this country and he Latin na tions. Among the important facts set forth in this white paper is notice that net private invest ment in Latin America will reach an all-time low in 1982—“possibly even resulting in a minus figure.” ITT does business in 20 of 21 Latin nations and gives employment ttr -r^ore than 21,000 per sons in those lands. Its enterprises account for approximately one-fifth of the estimated $8 bil lion to $9 billion in U. S. Investment in South and Central America. ITT cited Braxil’s seizures of American prop erties as examples of how private investment should not be treated if it is to continue. The company said that In February of 1982, the seiz ure of ITT properties in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande Sul represented a climax of three years of Brazilian “aggression” against Ameri can companies. Since May, 1969, the white paper declared, there has been expropriation of U. S. and foreign power properties in three Brazilian states. “Con currently,” the paper noted, “the Brazilian food supply and price control agency in July, 1962, pro posed expropriation of three American-owned food packing companies, and a Britisho-wned packing firm.” Earlier, said the report, “five mining conces sions held for many years’ by an American com pany were “summarily revoked.” And the white paper added that “by decree of May 30, 1982, the Brazilian federal government has proposed a so- called ‘global plan’ for the expropriation of all (foreign-owned) pubic utilities.” This report should be read by the American people with full realization that the United States government has committed over $900 million to Brazil since thes tart of the Kenedy administra tion’s Aliance for Progress program on March 13, 1961. The American people also need to know that the white paper points out that no Brazilian au thority has “offered anything approaching rea sonable compensation” for the properties seized from owners in the United States. When asets of.these big companies are seized, it is not simply a few very wealthy individuals who suffer. American corporations today are owned by thousands of. people in all walks of life—teachers, widows, small business men and others. Pension and other funds shares in the companies that do business in Latin America. When a Latin American country seises proper ties belonging to a large U. S. firm and refuses to give adequate compensations, great numbers of Americans incur financial loss. It is toerudible, in view of the Brazilian record, that the Kennedy administration should be pump ing more and more U. S. tax dollars In Brazil and other Latin countries that treat America badly. Yet that is what is being done. Surely the American people will demand a halt to such unconscionable giveaways once they un derstand what is taking place in Brazil. The ITT white paper should help develop such under standing in the United States. It should be wide ly read. The situation should be studied. The people should check with their Congressmen as to their position on it. It is stupid to have some one steal part of your property and then give that person a purse full of money to go along with it. Miss Anne Denny of Washing ton, D.
