More Public Work*
Face City of Clinton
A sewer extension program costing
more than $200,000 is getting underway in
CUnton this week. It will bring service
to one large section of the city and two
smaller areas, and will require several
months for completion.
This is the latest in a series of con-
tinuing efforts by the city administration
to improve city services and facilities.
Still to come in the future, as plans
can be made and financing arranged, are
enlarged water mains and sewer lines in
the recently annexed area in the southern
section of the city, a sewer lagoon and out
fall line for the northwestern section, ex
tension of the electric lines to take care of
overloaded conditions in several sections.
Probably other demands for enlarged far
cilities and services will face the city in
the near future.
It is imperative that the city adminis
tration anticipate the need for modernisa
tion and expansion and begin to plan now
for the next most demanding project and
to keep in mind those needed in the not too
distant future.
Clinton is a growing dty and the need
for improvements wiU be a continuing
process. It will require careful husband
ing of the city’s income, wise planning, pro-
fssional engineering, and adequate fi
nancing to keep the city abreast of the de
mands to be made upon it.
It’s Everybody’s
Business
While Clinton and Laurens County are
not in the Third Congressional District,
some things are going on over there in
which we are definitely interested—and
very much concerned about.
Congressman Bryan Dorn is winding up
a campaign in which he has had to defend
himself for his advocacy of the building by
Duke Power Company of a $900,000,000
electric generating plant on the Savaaaah
River instead of an $80,000,00# federal
dam which would be of little, if aay, bene
fit, except for being just another fish
pond.
The opposition to Dorn comes from a
very small minority in the county which
would benefit the moat from the Doha
project, aided and abetted by Senator
Olin D. Johnston.
This was written on electian day, be
fore the votes were counted, end we would
be disappointed if Dorn were not renomi
nated by a handsome majority. We don't
think he is in for much trouble, for we
have great faith in the people of South
Carolina (including those in the Third Con
gressional District) that they are heartily
in favor of a private enterprise project
of the magnitude of the Duke plant—or of
any size.
The proposed Duke enterprise would
pay millions of dollars in taxes to Ander
son County, the State of South Carolina
and the federal govrenment
The $80,000,000 federal Trotters Shoals
dam would cost the government—you and
me—that much, and wouldn’t return one
thin dime in taxes.
fort to raklndle the spirit of national pride
among Americans. •
Last year The Goodyear Tir& and Rub
ber Company provided a flag kit, at cost,
through its stores and dealerships. As a
result, thousands of Americans who never
before owned national banners now are dis
playing them with pride. Goodyear re
ceived a Freedoms Foundation award for
this effort
This year the Akron rubber firm is pre
senting a “Great Songs of America” rec
ord album to help re-acquaint Americans
with the musical heritage. The album con
tains ’The Star Spangled Banner,” “My
Country Tis of Thee,” “America the Beau
tiful,” “Dixie,” “Battle Hymn of the Re-
public,” and many other stirring remind
ers of our great tradition. The album
went on sale in May for the “patriotic sea
son”—from May to July—when moat of our
patriotic holidays occur.
It is the arose of dedication and the
urge to replace sheepfehneas with pride—
when it comes to flag-waving—that com
mend the Goodyear efforts to all thinking
Americans.
Babton Discusses
Long Distance
Transmission of
Electrical Power
Babson Park, Mass., June 11—In the early
fifties, in the flush of the ‘‘atomic age,’’ and
with some evidence of limited reserves of fossil
fuels to meet an expanding demand for energy,
it was logical to suggest that nuclear power would
be called on to fill the deficiency. Bernard Mc-
Garva, of Babson’s Canadian Reports, disagrees;
let me give you his reasoning.
NEED OF MOKE POWER
Engineering analysis had indicated that if,
under this rising demand, prices for fossil fuels
followed their projected rising pattern, the cost
of thermal power would increase to over 6 mills
per kw-hr.
Only, then, if costs for nuclear power could be
lowered to that level would it become competi
tive. Further factors militating against nuclear
pawtr have been engineering developments that
Increased the efficiency of the conventional meth
ods of electric generation. By design improve
ments, plus vastly increasing the sise of in
dividual generating units so as to obtain effic
iencies af scale, thermal power can still be gen
erated at an appreciably lower cost than nu-

Stealing The Fruits
Americans That Count
Have Pride In
Their Country
For too many years now, reverence for
or country, or heroes and our wnblem has
been considered “square.” “Stop waving
the flag” has become a derisive comment
—designed to promote among Americans a
perverted “sophistication.”
Service organizations such as the
American Legion and the Freedoms Foun
dation have been fighting this damaging
poee. Presidents have appealed to the peo
ple to purge themselves of “patriotic com
placency.” More help is needed.
And more help is coming—from a whol
ly unexpected corner. Amerdan industry
is reminding us that the United States is
ground to be revered—not just a place
where dollars seem to come easy. One
firm is in its second year of frankly and
actively supporting patriotism is an ef-
BETTKR LOCATION OF PLANT#
This differential should be maintained, or
Increased, by the current trend toward con-
of super-large generating plants locat
ed at the pit head of coal mines or under devel
oped large water falls. Similar benefits are
likely to derive from recent developments in the
Odd of extra-high-voltage transmission equip,
meat. TMs, by reducing power looses, would en
able elOCflWJIjr to he transmitted economically
over much greater distances.
In contrast to the previous Canadian maximum
of around 01,000 volts, power from the Mani-
cougain development now underway—but not
completed—will be transmitted to Montreal at
900,000 volts, over equipment of Canadian design
on the Hamilton River in Labrador. (Lines in
Russia are said to be currently operating at this
voltage.)
THE HAMILTON RIVER
These techniques would permit the six million
horsepower from the Hamilton River to be trans
mitted to New York City. (Note that Conaoli-
dated Edison made engineering analysis of the
cost of purchasing power from Labrador against
that from nuclear installations relatively near
New York City; cost factors favored import of
the Canadian power.)
There are a number of possible river devel
opments of large sise in the Canadian north that
could, via extra-higb-voHage, supply power to
Chicago, New York, and Richmond. However,
nuclear power would appear more practicable
for Florida than attempting to bring anything
from Labrador or the north on wires. Hence
Florida should give careful attention to all nu
clear developments, however slowly they may
occur.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
One final word: The time may be coming
when wires will not be needed to send these 900,-
000 or more volts from Labrador to New York,
or Chicago, or other points. This may come
about through wireless or through the develop
ment of lasers or other experimental processes
which could make use of such high-voltage wires
wholly or partly unnecesary. Progress here
should be carefully watched.

Tally
In medieval England a stick was used for record
ing transactions between a creditor and a debtor.
A debt was recorded by cutting a notch that ex
tended all the way across the stick. The stick was
split lengthwise, and the debtor took one half and the
creditor the other.
When the time came for the debt to be paid, the
two halves of the stick were put together to make
sure the notches matched, insuring that there was
no fraud.
The stick was called a “tally,” from “talea,” the
Latin word for “stick.” The matching of the halves
of the stick gave us the verb “to tally,” meaning to
correspond or match.

WORD ABOUT URANIUM
Dealing now specifically with the Canadian
scene, let me point out that uranium production
in Canada Is presently only a fraction of that
experienced in 1M0-61, as a result of termination
of government contracts and producers operat
ing under fits government-inspired stretch-out
program. It is said that only Rio Algom and fltan-
