all he has to d« is read James R. Young’s
remarkable publication, “Textile Leaders
of the South,” Recently published.
It is a handsome book of 800 pages, and
it could occupy-tone’s time for hundreds of
hours. J

is well worth the cost
“Textile Leaders of the South,” a beau-
fco life, he offended a whole generation of
young people who thought of him as a
hard-hearted old reactionary. The history
of the Western world since the Bolshevik
Revolution, however, has served to indicate
the humanity of Dr. More’s position. When

Babaon Talks To Those
Who Want To Retire
tiful book, printed and bound by R. L. 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.”
