Bry- they live on sufferance—which means that an Company of Columbia, will command fw ma y no f H ve at all/ the interest of thousands from Virginia to Louisiana, the territory which is covered - by the book. It is a volume of seven sections,, the principal one, and one of most interest, being, as the title implies, the biographies of the men who built the textile industry in the South, together with their portraits. It is of more than passing interest to Clintonians that more than eight pages, including photographs, are devoted to four members of the Bailey family who built the Clinton textile interests—M. S. Bailey, William J. Bailey, C. M. Bailey, and P. S. Bailey—of Clinton-Lydia Cotton Mills. A page photograph and more than a page of biographical material on William H. Regnery of Joimna Cotton Mills is also included. Photographs and biographies of dozens of well-known textile leaders of our sec tion of the state—past and present—are recorded. Other sections include material on com pany histories, factoring firms, Southern textile schools and foundations, histories of textiles by states, trade and state asso ciations, publications, special features, in cluding related crafts and industries. It is all there for those who are suf ficiently interested to give it careful and pleasurable reading. Babson Park, Mass., February 27—Each year more people reach the time for retirement, either because of age or because they have accumulat. ed enough funds to ensure a living income. This always brings up anew the questions of where to go, what to do with spare time, whether to buy or rent, etc. CLIMATE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED Certainly, climate is one of the main consid erations in choosing a place to retire to. First thought is usually that the warm states like Flori da, California, and Arizona offer the best oppor tunities. For older people this may well be true. Of course, no state, county or community offers all the advan tages. Places that may have attractive aftd lively business in the summer may be quite the opposite in winter—and vice versa. So, time and care must be taken if you are to make a move for which you will not be sorry. While I know that an even, warm climate is often fine for those with respiratory troubles, there is some, thing wearing about weather that is hot for too long a time. Studies have indicated that the most dynamic and intelligent people H pre likely to devel op in climates with marked contrasts. Younger couples—especially those who still have their children with them—should consider either a sec tion of the country with a wide temperature range or else two homes in areas with entirely differ ent weather patterns. INCOME IS A “MUST’ Rapid population growth in states with the most inviting weather has not come as a result of new babies or thriving agriculture and Indus- try so much as from newcomers moving in to re tire and bask in the sun., Such people must, of course, be able to depend upon regular checks, such as those coming from pensions, insurance rents on properties in other localities, and divi dends on stocks, interest on bonds or mortgages. Social security payments are a great help, but they will not pay all the bills in the states on which people are now converging. Some seem to think that places with delight ful winter climates offer very cheap living con dition. This is frequently an illusion, often cre ated by publicity agencies. You may not spend so much for fuel, electricity, and clothing in sun ny areas, but food and rents usually cost just about as much, or comparable accommodations. So do medical and dental services, entertain ment and transportation. Also, states and cities throughout the country have varying ways of collecting taxes; but even if some of these look more inviting, they turn out about the same. SOME WANT TO WORK Most men and even many women get restless . . . ... after they loll around for a while. If you want a which people will find a common meeting job, be sure to go into something for which you ground for hopes, aspirations, differences, are trained. If you want a business of your own. And this most certainly involves the maxi- w<>rk in that field first before you buy an estab- Public Records not for the taxpayer! ThereMust Be Better Ways News reports and current comment is that government sources contemplate urg ing U. S. tourists to see our country first instead of traveling to Europe this year. This is an effort on the part of the gov ernment to solve to some extent our bal- ance-of-payments problem. There is no doubt that the problem is a very real and vital one—many more dollars have gone abroad in late years than have been received in exchange. Our gold re serves have suffered accordingly. And the pending drive to encourage Americans to visit unknown corners of their own nation is understandable. But there is another problem involved, and a delicate one. The era in which isola tionism could be a workable way of nation al life has passed. The world’s need is for an ultimate kind of internationalism in mum possible flow of strangers to our shores—and of course our own people to other shores. The jet plane, with its conquest of time and distance, will be a major force in bringing about understanding and friend ship between nations and peoples. It would lishment. Some interesting potential fields for “retired” workers are real estate, shopping ser vices, typing, dressmaking, debt collecting, plant and tree nurseries, frozen-food programs, manu facturers’ representatives, caretaking services, landscaping, and interior decorating. Some people want to buy homes rather than rent, and this is often a good idea if you are care ful in your selection. Be sure that a house you be a pity if this people-to-people movement you are considering is in an area that Is improv- were impeded ing, not deteriorating. Be sure it is near church- o . , „ , « x and stores. It Is wise to include enough land See America by all meaps do so. But f or a vegetable and flower garden, and this ip a America is part, of a vast world. That world pinch might be sold as a house lot or two if you needs to be seen too. ever need to retrench a bit. Never buy unless you have lived in a community—preferably for at least a year—and have got the fueling of the place. Real estate values are influenced more by the trend of feeling than by any business sta tistics. FIRST STEFS IN CHOOtaNG - Pick out a state by studying real estate book lets, maps, and Information available at most li braries. Next, write the Chamber of Commerce at the capital of the state being considered. ~ Ask for data on different parts of the state, including climate and opportunities. I urge you, then, to visit the localities, even if you have to take a leave of absence to do it. Sight-unseen decisions are often disappointing—and can be very costly. Stories Behind Words by William S. Penfield Chapel The original meaning of the word “chapel,” which denotes a private place of worship, is “a small cloak.” In the 4th century a young Frankish soldier decid ed to devote his life to religion. As his first act he took off his cloak, tore it in two and gave one-half to a beggar. This man became St. Martin of Tours, the patron saint of Hie Frankish kings. Long after St. Martin’s death, his small cloak was preserved as a holy relic. The Latin word for a small cloak was “capella,” the diminutive form of “cappa,” a cloak. In time the shrine where St. Martn’s cloak was kept acquired the name of the garment—“capella.” The word became “chapele” in Old French and passed into English as “chapel.” Highlights From Clinton High “Will Make Any Sacrifice’’ Describing himself as “a blocking back” and one who is “staying, not on rite side lines, but in the thick of the battle” to help the strongest candidate win, Counsellor Richard M. Nixon has indicated he might be willing to play quarterback again, him self. ‘T feel that having been the candidate CLINTON, 8.
