Willard Wirtz’ Labor Day advice to the young people of America: If you’re thinking of dropping out of school, don’t. "From here out,” Wirtz said in a holiday statement, “ma chines are going to do the un skilled jobs that untrained peo ple have done in the past. From now on, to be untrained, unedu cated, is to be useless — to any one else or to yourself. Wirtz concluded: “Let’s make Labor Day 1963 a day of commit ment to the principle of full edu cation for every American boy and girl.” September Hearing Scheduled On Lake Greenwood Upgrading Greenwood—A public hearing on proposed reclassification of a section of Lake Greenwood will be conducted in September.

There is broad agreement that Federal Income tax rates are too high and act as a drag on the economy and that they should be reduced. At the same time there is deep concern about the con tinuing upward drive of Federal spending, and ever - persisting Federal deficits of large magni tude. In presenting his 1964 expendi ture estimates, the president em phasized that he had . . . ’felt ob ligated to limit severely (the) 1964 expenditure proposals.’ Yet estimated expenditures for 1964 of $96.8 billion are $4.5 billion higher than those anticipated for the current year, $6.3 billion higher than the president esti mated for his 1962-1963 budget, and they are $11 billion more than those recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1962. In fact, since 1964 the federal administrative budget has in creased at an average rate of 4% per year, and since 1900 (and including estimated 1964 spend ing ( the annual rate of increase has been 6.6%. A continuation of this rate of expenditure increase will mean a federal administra tive budget of $136 billion or more by 1969. Patronize The ChronicL Advertisers By SPECTATOR ... COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS f ,, frrJrr rrrrrrrrrr------------------ lives. If only we could repent and make a new start!! • • • Life shifts doesn’t it? Years ago, many years ago, I lived happily in Edgefield. I thought I should never find such a delight ful community. I did, however, when I went to Anderson. Edgefield had an innovation: I bought my groceries from a drug store. That was quite new. Of course I can remember when you could buy a gallon of kerosene oil from a drug store without a prescription. But Edgefield had a wide-open grocery business in a drug store; and it was owned by two delightful gentlemen, Doc tor Penn and Mr. Jule Holstein. Behold the difference today. A week or so ago I bought some shirts from a mammoth grocery store. Sometimes before that I bought some sardines from a large drug store; and in an ad vertisement of a big drug store I saw equipment for fishermen. A drug store mark you, selling all the requisities for a fisher man. Some one had shown me a can, tin can, container in which a special tea was sold. I wrote to the Boston headquarters and re ceived a reply telling me that their tea could be bought from a well known book and novelty store, which is widely known also as a printery. I called on the proprietor of that book business without success, but saw the tea in a vast store of dry goods, clothing, costume jewelry and perfumes. The next time I want shoes ot shirts I’ll try a hardware store. AU my early education and ex perience counts for naught: I don’t know where to find what I want today. If drug stores seU fish and fishing tackle and groc ery stores seU drugs and shirts where are we? One of the most complete rev olutions is this: men once went Let us caU a halt to the con stant discussion of the Constitu tion lest we weary our friends and burden their minds.with af flictions they can’t aUeviate. I’m the one who receives all the bene fit of discussions of the once re vered Constitution because it re lieves my spirit to pass on all the burden. We have something else to per plex us: We have an idea that we may discuss openly and vig orously, even drasticaUy, the en croachments of others, while re senting any criticism of our selves by those we castigate. The Russians are a case in point: they are an evil influence of unparalleled magnitude, but we openly denounce them while resenting criticism of ourselves by them. In ancient times one nation didn’t denounce another unless it meant War. Well, let that pass for the moment. We have a new worry! The Cubans have seized our Embassy in Havana. Shall we do anything about it? Or have we willy-dal- Ued so long that Russia must now be consulted? The seizure and confiscation of large Ameri can investments didn’t seem to arouse us. Perhaps it should have taught a lesson—that we use our money to develop our own country. In the days of our youth and vigor we should have blockaded Cuban parts, as President Wilson did at Tampico, Mexico. That was a long time ago—not so much in years as in spirit. Today we meddle with countries over the world and occasionally re member the Monroe Doctrine. The essence of the Monroe Doc trine is that all nations small keep their hands off of the Ameri cas and we would not meddle with Europe, Asia and Africa. We today are involved heavily with nations of Europe, Asia and Africa—pouring out billions of dollars and fine young American Ferguson's Meat Market 207 MUSGROVE STREET PHONE 833-1886 HAMBURGER (Fresh Grosad) 3 Ak. 1.19 Irby's Bag SAUSACE 3 •»-1.00 Fresh FRYERS . . lb. 27c BOLOGNA 1 £t 1 h- $1.00 ,L Part .. 60c Dar-D-vue nas * llQiiart $1.20 Home-Made GilLI * * 35c ’‘•65c Economy Cut Cured HI iM * 39t 4 0LE0 MARGARINE 5 ^ $1.00 I Wonder What's Happening at Home?

At that time the ladies remained at home with such beauty-aids as might be found in liquids, combs, brushes and salves. Today the men shave at home, missing all the local news of rich flavor, while the ladies go to a beauty parlor and there give and receive all the juicy morsels of on-the- quiet occurrences.
