C^ Thursday, January 2. 1964 Merger of Laurens, Fountain Inn Banks Be Ybted On, Jan. 21 Laurens~-A proposed merger of the Palmetto Bank of Laurens and the Citizens Bank of Foun tain Inn will be recommended and voted on at separate meet- hanks January 21, 1964, accord ing to Dwight F. Patterson, president of the Palmetto Bank. Directors of both banks already have approved the merger, Pat terson said.- ' Palmetto Bank *has total re sources of $11.5 million and the .Citizens Bank, which also oper ates a branch at Gray Court, has resources of $3 million, Pat terson said. Palmetto Bank was chartered Sept. * 17, 1906, and has since operated continuously in Lau rens. Charles L; Fleming and Harold McClintock are vice- presidents. The Citizens Bank was or ganized in 1934 by George P. Wenck, whp,. has since served as president. W. B. Parsons is executive vice-president. Patterson said that if the merger is acceptable to stock holders of both tanks, the pro- IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS Thornwell and Gray Courjt-Owings to Meet Here On Friday Nigfit The Thornwell basketball teams will resume after-holidays play Friday night when they meet the strong Gray Court-Ow- Ings teams on the local court. These schools met before Christmas and divided games, the Thornwell boys winning and the girls losing. * So far this season, the Thorn well boys have won four straight games, 'fhe girls have won two and lost two. -The boys’ squad has pdenty of competition among themselves, which gives them the best bench thy have had in many years.

During the cold winter days you should pay extra special attention to your automobile than at other times. I suggest you have it serviced at YOUNG’S GULF SERVICE, so that you will know that It will alw&ys be in first class condition. They will lubricate, change oil, along with checking your tires, anti-freeze, fan belts and brakes. *v You benefit because HOWARD’S PHARMACY specializes! No kitchen appliances, no garden hoses, no pots and pans—their pharmacist spe cializes in compounding prescriptions and dis pensing drugs and medicines. Just like your doc tor, their pharmacist’s entire ^attention is devoted to providing for the health tare needs of your family. Where you have your prescription filled does make a difference. I know you want to start the New Year off right and there can be no better way of doing this than opening a Savings Account at the M. S. BAILEY AND SON, BANKERS. This could very well be your start on the rqad to success. Incidentally the interest they pay on sawings will come in handy also. It would pay you to Investigate today. \ Are you thinking of baking a cake any time in the near future? U you are I suggest you stop by your PIGGLY WIGGLY SUPER MARKET and see the most complete selection of cake mixes to be found anywhere in this area. They have cake mix£s by Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, Swans- down, and Pillsbury. H you didn’t receive just what you were hoping for, this Christmas, I suggest you visit DILLARD BOLAND, JEWELER, and purchase it for your self. An .item I ftm very much in peed for the men is a cigarette lighter. They have an out standing selection by Zippo and Bentley Butane. mm In School Program on Jan. 9 Police Sgt. Carl S. Pike, on leave from the Kent County Sheriffs Department, Grand Rapids, Michi gan, uses tricks of magic learned as a professional ma gician to hold the attention of high school students while he stresses valuable pointers on traffic safety. His “Safety Magic” program, on a nation-wide tour of high schools to promote good driving habits, will appear at a Clinton High School program on Thursday, January 9.

La- where—until you see it; don’t depend on blueprint, catalogs, 1994 . . with emphasis on adaption of space efforts to mili tary applications. 44. AIR CONDITIONING. I predict radical changes in air conditioning in 1964 via the re duction, and later elimination, of moving parts in the heat-with drawal machinery. 45. ELJgCTRIC HEATING. I forecast fleperiments in electric and super sales organ xations. ening Europe .' . . particularly 28. FLORIDA HOME.

While TV iving costs during 1964, even have no reason to worry about igh Set iwray Putting stains on scarlet-coated gentlemen of the King was the favorite pastime for many years among the ejuly Americans or late Colonials. Taking the stains off was another past-time. The cleaner mixed a special formula of “tartaric acid’’ with water and it acquired n pleasantly acid taste and then saturated the spots with it. SUNSHINE CLEANERS AND LAUNDRY use only the latest in modern cleaning methods to assure you of the finest of service. HAS YOUR RADIATOR BEEN RUNNING HOT? If the answer to this question is yes,.then I strong ly advise you taking your car to J. B. WHEL. CHEL’S GARAGE IN JOANNA. They have for your convenience the all New Cycle-Flo machine —that cleans your radiator and entire cooling system in just 56 minutes. Should you need ra diator repairs of any kind they offer a complete radiator service. Velma and Vernon Powell at VERNON’S RES TAURANT would like to thank all of you for a very successful Yule Season. They have enjoyed serving you and hope you will continue to patron ise their establishment during 1964. All of the friendly personnel from the House of Bauty, PAULA’S BEAUTY SHOP, hope that each and every patron had a happy Holiday Season. They have enjoyed serving you in 1963 and hope that they have contributed something to your well-being. They tnvit yon to visit them early la 1964 for any of their highly qualified services. t WHEN YOU VISIT LAWSON FURNITURE COM PANY yon wiD find a complete Hue of Hotpoiat appliances.

The show will be a chapel pro gram from 9:30 to 10:30. The show will feature Traffic Sgt. Carl S. Pike, currently on leave from the Kent County Sher iff’s Department in Grand Ra pids, Michigan. The Sergant is now on a nationwide tour under sponsorship of Amerigan Truck ing Associations, Washington, D. C. While in CUnton, Sgt. Pike’s local sponsors are: the Motor Transportation Association o f South Carolina, the S. C. Depart ment o{, Education, the S. C. State Highway Department, and the S. C. Law Enforcement As sociation. Sgt. Pike, a professional ma gician prior to entering police work, combines his knowledge of magic with a keen sense of hu mor and experience gained as a traffic officer to get across his message of traffic safety to high school pupils^ J ,. ... In the show, Sgt. Pike makes safety banners appear out of no where, .colorful scarfs pop up from an empty purse, and an ap parently endless stream of wa ter pour from a'small jug. These are just a few of Sgt. Pike’s tricks, each illustrating an im portant traffic safety rule. In emphasizing that “Safety Is No Accident,” the slogan of the safety magic program, Sgt. Pike recounts his experiences with reckless drivers and tells how many accidents can be avoided. Throughout his talk, the Sergeant uses a teen-age jar gon to hold the attention of the students while thy learn about traffic safty. Actually Sergeant Pike is a lieutenant. Several years ago, in recognition of his fine work with teen-age drivers, he was officially promoted to lieutenant by his department. However, be cause he has been known so long ot thousands by his old title, he prefers to be called “sergeant.” More than 3,500,000 students have seen the safety magic show, which has appeared in 48 states. The program has been endorsed by educators and civic leaders and organizations throughout the nation, including the New York University Driver Education and Safety Institute and the Michigan Association of Insurance. . Sgt. Pike has also received commendations for his work in safety education from many state governments and police de partments. tions, the above applies generally to many of the basic raw mate rials, including iron and steel, and especially aluminum. The present firming in quotations will not carry much further and could be subject to setbacks lat er in the year. 20. SUGAR. Sugar prices, how ever, will hold in a generally high range all through 1964. 21. BUILDING — SUBURBIA. I forecast that new building will continue around present levels through 1964, with additional growth in “suburbia.” This ap plies to single homes and to apartment houses, which could easily be overbuilt as the hotels and motels have been. '****' 22. PUBLIC CONTSRUCTION. Otherwise, strength in building will occur mainly in the public sector—especially road building. 23. REAL ESTATE. I predict that farms on the “right side” of cities will constantly increase advertising will continue strong though the Adm'n stratkm may for patent medicines and some soft-pedal any abnormal rise in other products, I forecast that tile Labor Department's index to honest newspaper advertising prove that costs are being held will hold its own.

STRIKES. I believe that 1964 will be free from large strikes. The “big show,” of course, will be the negotiations between the auto workers and manufacturers. However, I pre dict that both sides will arrive at a peaceful settlement before the deadline. 30. WAGES. While labor will not get all the pay increases it ants in 1964, it will get the valent in “fringe benefits.” EMPLOYMENT. I forecast employment will rise further In 1964, due to 4 prosperous econo- want: edulv in value during 1964.1 say “right my with new and expanding side’.’ because every ci y asems operations.

(Continued from page 1) I would certainly confine buying of tax-exempts to short maturi ties; and I would avoid revenue bonds. . ~’~~ 15. INTEREST RATES. I fore cast that interest rates will con tinue at least as high as today, and will possibly rise through 1964 in order to jceep gold here in this country and uphold the value of the. dollar. - V 16. DEVALUATION OF GOLD. I forecast that there will be no devaluation of gold during 1964. I am personally acquainted with conditions in Africa, and will say that those who wish to speculate in gold mines should consider American-South African Invest ment Co. Ltd. Readers should remember, however, that gold mining stocks will go down as well as up, in accordance with many different conditions. 17. PROFITS. I forecast that corporate profits will continue to rise in 1964, though possibly at a somewhat slower pace’than recently. 18. COPPER PRICES. Com modity prices are dependent on two factors: Demand and sup ply. Take copper: I believe de mand will continue to increase during the electrical era we are now in. And, since my visit to Africa, I feel the supply of cop per is almost unlimited. Hence I forecast little change in price on balance in 1964. » OTHER BASIC RAW MA TERIALS. With often to the west; but this Is something subdivision develop-* er s must watch very c osely. 24. RURAL AREAS. As I have said before, the way to buy real estate profitably is to dr.ve out the main road away from the city in wheih you live, on tho “right” side. Every few mflsOt stop and inquire the price of land; so long as it is quoted by the foot, get back in your car aid drive until it is quoted by the acre. Everything else being equal, I forecast that the pur chase of this land in 1964 will show you a profit over the long term. 25. FLORIDA PROPERTY. NOTICE OF SALE The State of South Carolina, County of Laurens In Court of Common Pleas Alice Darby, Petitioner, vs Alice Robertson Fuller, Theo dore Robertson, and Almeda Robertson Brown, as the only! heirs-at-law and next of kin of Lawson Robertson, Deceased. Respondents. PURSUANT to a Decree of the Court in the above stated case, I will sell at public outcry to the highest bidder, either hi or In front of the Court House, at Lau rens C. H., S. C.., on Salesday in January next, being Monday, the 6th day of the month, during the legal hours for such sales, a one- half (Vi) undivided interest, being all the right, title and interest of Lawson Robertson, Deceased, in and to the following described property, to wit: “All that piece, parcel, and lot of land with the improve ments thereon, situated, ly ing and being in the State of South Carolina, Count of Laurens, and being known and designated as Lot No. 381 of West Clinton Subdivis ion; being a portion of the property of Clinton Cotton Mills as shown on a Plat of said subdivisin prepared by Pickell A Pickell, Engineers, of Greenville, South Carolina, dated December 9, 1968, and recorded on January 24, 1969, in the Office of the Clerk of Court for Laurens County, South Carolina, in Plat Book • 12, at Page 213. Said Plat being adopted by reference/’ TERMS OF SALE: Cash.

J. HEWLETTE WASSON, Probate Judge for Laurent County.- Dated this 12th dav of Dec., 1MI D12-9C-D27 tomation. 32. WORK WEEK. Thao will be continuing agitation to cut the 40-hour week in 1964 to a 39. SYNTHETIC CLOTHING. I forecast that this new industry will develop notably in the Unit ed States during 1964, particu larly as regards specialty work clothes 40. AUTO PARKING. The au to companies are devoting much study to the parking problem. I forecast real progress toward mechancial parking in 1964. 41. SEAT BELTS. I predict that insurance companies will put added pressure during 1964 on all state governments to en act legislation requirirtg ‘’roll up” seat belts on all cars. 42. NEW INVENTIONS. I fore- cast that rapid strides will be made in 1964 in the direction of transferring mass through matter. 43. ELECTRONIC PRODUC TION. I forecast a greatincreace in electronic manufacturing in their nearness to Cuba in 1964. Russia will undoubtedly keep a controlling finger on Cuba until she decides to withdraw in a Swap of some kind with the II. S. in connection with ‘Berlin or West Germany. 48. WAR. There will fce no World War in 1964, and even the "cold war” pressures -should gradually soften and prove le»s costly. I, however, am watching carefully how President Johnson and Pemiier Khrushchev get on together. 49. RUSSIA. I predict that the Russian government will vastly increase the manufacture of elec trical appliances, and will have a 100%-owned installment com pany, which it will operate with out competition. When I was ih Russia it was evident from my talk with the young people that they would have to be given more of the advantages enjoy ed by the free nations. 50. In this connection I should say that, like the U. S., Russia is very rich in natural resources . . and in research. This latter is especially important these days. I was much impressed, during my visit, with the Russian educational system which is de. veloping a very able generation^ of young people. I forecast, how-' ever, that Mr. Khrushchev’s real problem will be how long he will be able to hold these young peo ple in line!
