S. youngster ( missed 18.9 days out of the last school year. To realize the scope of this problem, just multiply 18.9 by 40 million! A curious fact is the wide variation by states shown in the NEA count of lost shooldays. The State of Washington is ap parently our healthiest, with 10.6 days lost Congress, under the benevolent leadership per student, and Utah with 11.2 days. At of an all-wise Administration, to wipe out the other end of the scale, Nevada showed the “injustices and hardships and heart- an average of 62 lost day* per student, ' aches“ of three centuries by law—a law with Alaska next at 26.6 tjays. called ‘The Civil Rights Act of 1963.” Anyone who wishes to explain these fig- Our prayer is that these 210,000—and urea may have a try at it—-while we get nearly 180 million more Americans—may out some warm clothing for the chill fall never have to live under this cruel hoax that hides a police state behind the trap pings of social reform. days, plan a good, nourishing diet and try to see the fellow who has a cold before he sees us! Civil Rights and Legal Wrongs For the first time in the peacetime his tory of the United States, it is proposed in legislation now pending before Congress to deny the right of trial by jury! This is one of the more important (and least publicized) aspects of S. 1731 and H. R. 7152—that legislative Trojan Horse named “The Civil Rights Act of 1963”—in which dictatorial Federal control of busi- V ness, industry, individual citizens and the “sovereign” states is disguised as protec tion of racial and religious minorities. Under this insidious bill, the judgment of Federal inspectors, appointed to bring about social reforms, would supersede our traditional and Constitutional judicial pro cesses. Through the sly device of eliminat ing criminal penalties, those who drew the bill have made it so a violator of the “pub lic accommodations” section (Title II), would be brought without hearing before a judge and placed under Federal Injunction to cease and desist whatever act of dis crimination the Federal overseer may have charged him with. And the penalty would be fine or imprisonment for contempt of court—from which there is no appeal. Given this cloak of civil rights, the President would thus have raw, unchal lenged power. Similarly, under other pro visions of the bill, Federal control would be extended to every home, every school, every business, every bank and to every citizen w r ho owns property or casts a vote. The president—or his political appointees— would have the power to tell the owners of every business whom they may hire, fire, promote or demote; to call, foreclose or refuse loans; to exclude individuals and businesses from federal programs, activi ties, subsidies and benefts; to blacklist banks, contractors, schools, businesses and individuals. Think of that. As one critic has said: “The Administra tion’s bill proposes, in effect, that the Con gress abdicate, and turn its legislative pow ers over to the White House. The powers here demanded are not the powers right fully to be exercised by a President in a free country'. These are the powers of a despot.” Babson Discusses Job Opportunities Ahead Note That Date When does the cold-season start? The first day of school—that’s when it starts. Research scientists have now proved that the spread of colds, like other virus-caused infections is accelerated by i the mixing of populations. In fixed, stable groups which are not exposed to strang ers, cold-like infections, they say, tend to die out and do not reappear until there is la contact outside the group. Surveys also show that youngsters of elementary school age have five times as many colds as grown-ups and that colds continue to be I the major factor in school absences. Thus, it should be crystal clear what I happens when all kindergarteners, or all jthe fourth-graders or the eighth assemble Jfrom all over the school district to begin a |new scholastic year. If there’s one cold in bunch, it swiftly becomes common prop- ty. No doubt that’s why they call this ledkal mystery the “common” cold. The cids take their new-found infections home, Ithe Babson Park, Mass., September 5—My advice to young men and women entering college this fall is not necessarily to major in whatever seems good right now. They should consider, instead what is likely to look good several years from how —after they get out of school. SUCCESSFUL WORKERS LOOK AHEAD The difference between the college graduate who just holds down a job and the one who gets promoted on a job Is that the successful climber knows enough to look ahead. For example, the young man ar woman who is a careful career planner wants to know first where the road he hopes to take is heading. Better this than to ac cept what looks like a good job now and be regretful later on. My father told me long ago, and I have told my grandchildren the same thing: The first step in planning a career is to appraise y o u r o w n interests, values, goals,, personality, and abilities. You’ve got to like the job you’re doing, too. It is a sad and much too com mon sight to see a fellow butt his head against a wall trying to compete in a position for which he lacks both the proper per sonality and the basic aptitude. If you want to be a succes, develop your assets and do work for which you are fitted and which makes you hap py. These steps I feel are essential, but they do not go far enough. All job hunters should investi gate, in their search, the probable future expan sion and growth of the industries being consider ed. WHERE OUR ECONOMY 18 GOING . Our population right now is close to 190,000,- 000, and further definite gains lie ahead. More than 70,000,000 are gainfully employed. Our gross national product has climbed to $580 bil lion, and still further advances are in store over the years ahead. With a shorter working uweek and more efficient production, our people should receive in wages, interest, and other income about $550 billion by the time this year’s college entrants graduate in 1967. ‘ Spendable income should grow greater in the coming period, and there should certainly be a continued expansion In consumer spending as a result. This will open ever broader opportuni ties for those going into advertising and the sell ing of new products. My forecast assumes, of course, that the international situation will not grow worse and that there will be a generally fa vorable economic climate so that business can operate Without serious disruption LOOKING TOWARD 1967 Labor costs—both industrial and agricultural —should continue to rise, so give close attention to industries that make labor-saving devices such as materials-handling equipment, conveyors, farm machinery, contsruction machinery, office machines, and automated processors. Remem ber, too, that the need for more new roads, hos pitals, and schools is bound to boom construction as the population increases. Still further devel opment of new materials will ensure gain* In light metals and high-speed alloys. Look also to the chemical industry, which could surpass most other lines as a result of unending re search in farm chemicals, drugs, petrochemicals, plastics, and synthetic fibers. I see no end to the uses of electricity, and output rapidly will move ahead. Both domestic and foreign markets will expand for electrical appliances such as clothes dryers, electric blank ets, heaters, dish-washers, television sets, and air conditioners. The market for electronics ap plications is also very far from saturated. Engin eers will be turning out a never-ending array of new products, new materials, and still-undream ed-of gadgets. WANTED: SALES EXPERTS Young men and women should note that there will be excellent job chances for those interested in surveying, researching, analyzing, and moti vating human wants. College freshmen should now look toward 1967. They should recognise the fact that there will be a still insatiable Stories Behind Words by William S. Penfield Martinet In the Utter part of the 17th century, the French army began to replace its soldiers of fortune—hired fighting men—with raw, recruits; With this change came the introduction of a uniform system of drill and discipline. The man picked ty institute this system was Jean Martinet, a lieutenant colonel. Martinet did his job well, and in a few years the thoroughly drilled French Army was recognized as the best in Europe. However, there were many who looked upon Mar- tint’s system as too severe. These critics coined a word by referring scornfully to any overly strict disci plinarian as a “martinet.” Education Will Give Yon Greater Job Security Education qualifies you for more opportunities for full-time work and reduces the chances of long periods of unemployment.

News From The County Agent M. L. OUTZ, Ceuaty AfoaC Some cattlemen believe that 75 percent of the cost of feeding a cow herd is carrying them through the winter. I believe this to be about right. What is the cheapest and how are you going to get them through with out buying feed? I believe good summer pas tures are essential, They’re Ab solutely necessary in order to get cattle through. I believe most of us will agree they are much cheaper. Coastal and common bermuda are good. During this extreme drought. I’ve noticed serqcia has stayed greener than anything eles. Farmers who have it, like it, C. W. Anderson, Clin ton, says it’s hard to beat. Paul Owings of Owings, says it’s the best plant to have during an ex treme drought. Both say it is a good hay plant. However, it’s a plant that most every one will agree must be managed pro perly. Serecia requires a mini mum amount of fertilizer. It will furnish a lot of hay for win-1 ter feed. If possible, reserve a summer pasture to turn cattle on in late fall. It will shorten the winter. Fescue, of course, is our winter permanent pasture. Too many farmers get cattle on it in early fall and when winter arrives, it is gone. Where cattle are bred to calve in January, February, and the calves are weened in the fall, the cows go through in much better shape. The farmer makes more money. It also requires less la bor and the herd is easier to manage. The annual fall feeder-cattle sales are scheduled for Sept. 19, at Greenwood, and Sept. 20, at Spartanburg. If you haven’t tried the feeder sales to market your steers and heifers, you should. The records will show the prices to be higher. Marconee. Ga.-Jet, and Rogers.
