Cttnton, 8. C, Thursday, AprU 15, 1965 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE \ Telephone Talk By a a MARTIN Your Telephone ■ •-* PEOPLE SEEM TO BE BUSIER THESE DAYS THAN THEY’VE EVER BEEN BEFORE. Everybody from Cub Scout to Grandma has his own special interests and activities. Just think of the oonfushxi there’d be without telephones! With so much foing on it's food to have low- cost extension phones around the house. Something we read the other day says exactly what we mean . . . tele phones take the run out of running a home. So far as home is concerned, extension phones are probably most helpful to Mom. A survey shows the average home maker walks abou t nine miles a day which is a lot of steps and time. To save some of h, Mom would probably vote for a kitchen extension. She spends so much time cooking in the kitchen, she be able to make and take calls there, too. And let's not leave out the family breadwinner! Dad needs peace and quiet and privacy for after-boun business calls, so why not an ex tension in the den for him? When making a long distance call ami you don’t know the number, you can DIAL “Information” in o the distant city easily and without charge. If the call is to a point outside South Carolina, just dial ”1,” the appropriate Area Code and the new stand ard long distance information number, 555-1212. Area Codes can be obtained from the front pages of the Clinton directory or from Y the operator. For instance, to call “Information” in Charlotte, dial 1 plus 704 plus 555-1212. To call “Information” in Columbia, dial .... 1 plus 555-1212. An operator will ask your number (just as on a regular DDD call), but you will not be billed. When “Information” gives you the number, you 'can simply hang iip l^id dial it direct . . . fn a flash! Social Security The puiywood business is be coming more important to the people in our area according to Martha F. Pressly, district man ager of the Social Security Ad ministration. Since we now have more industries in the area that use pulp wood, cutting and sell ing puipwood is no longer some thing the farmer does in his off season. For many, it has become a separate business. “Puipwood producers and workers have many questions* about this work, and how it ties in with social security. The right answers to these questions can be very important to them.” Miss Pressly said/ Some producers think they must have four or more workers before they have to make social security reports. This is not true. If a producer has just one worker on his payroll, his wages are covered by social security. The earnings, regardless of the amount, must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service at the end of each calendar quarter. Some producers think workers who are paid by the cord are not employees. The way the worker is paid does not make the work, er an independent contractor. The Internal Revenue Service or the Social Security Administra tion will be glad to advise em ployers and employees on these and any other questions. Miss Pressly advised puipwood producers who have one or more employees and have never filed returns to get an Employers Identification Number and file their quarterly returns. Each re turn must show the worker’s name, social security number, and wage amounts. -The nearest Internal Revenue Office or Social Security Office will help producers get an Em ployers Identification Number or answer any questions about working in the puipwood indus try.

And it simply moans s diversion from the rest of our society to military preparation, a diversion that in a sense we can ill af ford." These are the words of Secretary of Defense McNa mara, from an interview on January 4, 1965, concerning the closure of a number of defense IN THIS INTERVIEW, the Secretary of Defense stated, of course, that the base closures ho has ordered would aot affect the military capability of the UJ3. Ho aloe stated hi coueludiag kia interview, however, that: “I think that H would he u tremendous opportunity for on economically and socially to eliminate defense entirely. It would ho u social ECONOMY IN GOVERN MENT operations and the elimi nation of waste of taxpayers’ funds are most laudable. No one can objactively argue with ac tions dosing military facilities which make little or no contribu tion to our military prepared- UNNEBDED FACILITIES ore not preparation for war, however; and preparation for war is not waste.

It (o the militarily weak who are most likely to bo attacked—end conquered. SINCE WORLD WAR 11— which wo entered unprepared- superior U.S. military power has prevented a genera) war. Mili tary unpreparedness—withdraw s) of our troops from South Koroe—resulted in the Korean “conflict," and the consequent lose of many American lives Superior U.8. military power- preparedness for war, that is— wttb admiaistermg the entire J A. defense establishment raises vital to ell AmeriesOs: under what coaceiv* able circumstances would prep aration for war be waste? The only apparent answer is that preparation for war weald be e waste if there is dearly so dan ger of any attack on the United Statea er of any encroachment on UJ3. vital interests around the world. THERE ARB obviously many continuing attempts by the com munists to impair or destroy UA interests around the world —hi Southeast Asia. Korea, the Near Beet, Africa, end Cuba, Just to nams a few. The question this, does the United States considtr these interests vUall Or, does the UA new consider ' that only its territorial integrity Is vital? And aa to the territori al integrity of the U A, have the Soviets abandoned efforts to achieve strateffic nuclear an* periority which would threaten the UA mainland with destine- tkm? IN RECENT YEARS, there have been mere and arare indica tions that UA policy amkers be lieve that the Soviets weald “mellow “ that the chances of the USSR beginning a war weald diminish, and that the UA end the USSR would he able to reach agreements on differences. For instance, daring the “Massling ef the Military" investigation in IMS, wa revealed that the State Depart amat believed sad eta ted, that “The ward ‘victory’ has a militaristic and aggressive ring tern suited than (defeat of commoaist aggression) to de scribing our national objectives. •Victory’ also implies ea ’all-or- nothing' approach, leaving ae ream for accommodation.” THE STRATEGIC objective of military preparedness of the U.8. is to prevent a war. not to be used for purposes of aggres sion or conquest It, is signifi cant therefore, that the Secre tary of Defense, in testifying before the Congress this year concerning the relative military postures of ths U.S. and the B. Pupils shall be assigned td the schools that they attended the preceding year, except those eligible for promotion to a dif ferent school. Notwithstanding, however, and as a matter of' absolute right, application may be made by the parent or legal guardian of such pupils for placement in another school specified in the application therefor, in which case the rea son for the requested transfer must be stated. Such application shall be considered under the direction of the Board of Trus tees and cated upon in the light of the criteria set forth in items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of pargraph “A” herein without regard to race, or color within fifteen days from its receipt by the District Super intendent of Schools. C. Effective with the 1965-66 school session, and for each school session thereafter, appli cations for transfers must be made on official forms to be made available by, and received by the District Superintendent of Schools on or before May 15, preceding the beginning of the next school year. As a conven ience, official application forms shall be provided and made available in the principal’s of fice of each school within the district, for the official registra tion period, 3rd week in April through May 16, of each year, and may be obtained upon re quest of the Principal of the school they we now attending. Only official forms bearing the “Seal of the School District” shall be used, and they shall be delivered only to parents, legal guardians, or persons in “loco parentis” to the applicant. D. Official application forms, bearing the Seal of the School District, to be used on behalf of pupils establishing residence within the district after the of ficial registration period, 3rd week in April through May 15, may be obtained from the office of the Principal of the school they wish to attend, and should be filed with the District Super intendent of School on behalf of such pupils as soon as praett cable. All- applications MmU be considered and acted open with in fifteen days. 2. In view of the fact that the Laurens County School District No. 56 is a consolidated district involving the lower half of Lau rens County, the District Super intendent of Schools is directed to publish, as a paid legal ad, this Policy of Pupil Assignment and Transfer In The Chronicle once a week for two consecutive weeks beginnig with the 2nd full week in April of each year.

HUGULEY, Secretary Board of Trustees, ■ Laurens County School District No. 86 has maintained oar independence J USSR, prefaced his assessment from foreign domination, and i caveat: “assuming that also the independence of many j ^ B j det haTe aame gen eral strategic objectives, which 1 believe to be the ease." THE RATIONALE is that preparation for war L waste— IF YOU TRUST THE COM- MUNISTS. IN THE COMING WEEKS, 1 will disease the state of our deteriorating military prepared- other nationa. The woe no ivtule PREPARATION FOR WAR by the United Staves since World War n has, therefore, been a "social good.” In the ab sence of such preparation, there would have bean little, if any, opportunity for Americans to enjoy such “social sroods” as education, better housing, wel fare, and recreation.
