Such a city is Aiken, SS. C., which continues to appeal to va cationers and retired citizens, even while experiencing unpar alleled economic and industrial growth. Aiken is an attractive, planned city which still reflects much of its old southern charm in its progressive advance into the “space age.” Situated among the rolling hills and tali trees of the southwest section of the Palmetto State, along the mighty Savannah Ri ver, Aiken has been famed as a winter resort for many of America’s prominent families since before the turn of the cen tury. Today, many people still select Aiken as their permanent home because of the fine recrea- PERSONAL MENTION Jimmy Vaughn Brock of Statesville, N. C. spent last week with his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Poole on Route 1. He was accompanied home Sunday by his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Brock who had Joined him here during the weekend. Mrs. J. H. Donnan was called to Pendleton yesterday by the death of her brother-in-law, Wal ter H. Aull. Mrs. M. L Copeland Laurens — Mrs. Sarah Ball Copeland, 89, of 840 W. Main St., died at 12:40 p.m. Tuesday in a local hospital after several years of declining health and an illness of a day. Native of Laurens County, daughter of the late Beaufort Watts and Eliza Watts Ball, she was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany. Her husband, Mason Langston Cope land. died in 1944. Surviving is a daughter, Miss Beaufort Copeland of the home. Graveside services were con ducted in Laurens City Cemetery at 10 a.m. Wednesday by Rev. Louis C. Fischer III.

Aiken has one of the most unique locations that provides easy access to the Atlantic beaches or the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. The city has long been known as a prominent sports center because of its many recreational features, both within Aiken proper and nearby. For some 80 years, polo has been played here by most of the world’s outstanding players. The agreeable climate and excellent suitability of the soU for racing has made this city a winter training ground for this nation’s foremost race horses. No matter what season, Aiken offers sports opportunities to suit almost anyone’s taste. There are three 18-hole golf courses in the area, and, of course, the world famed Augusta National Gdf Club, home of the Masters’ Tournament, is just a short drive away. Plenty of lakes and streams are avaUable for fish ing, boating or swimming, and wild game is abundant for those who love the challenge of the hunt. The industrial development in Aiken County in the last few years has been phenomenal. To day, value of manufactured pro ducts exceeds 200 million dollars per year. More than 19,000 people are employed by the ma jor industries of the area, with combined payroll running more than $lfe million a week. Most recent estimates place the popu lation of Aiken and immediate suburbs at more than 20,000, while the county has more than 80,00 people. The area’s most unique indus try is the Atomic Energy Com mission Plant on the Savannah River, which cost some $1H bil lion to construct. It was the largest single construction job ever undertaken by the Atomic Energy Commission, and re quired the re-location of some 6,000 South Carolinians from a half - dozen communities. The huge project, which was built to produce material for atomic and thermonuclear weapons, covers some 200,000 acres or more than 300 square miles of Aiken, Barnwell and Allendale Counties. - It’s no .wonder that many people consider it for a perma nent home after retirement, for it offers the prospect of very up-to-date living in a modem progressive city, while promis ing the quiet charm of the old South. Practical training in the tac tics and weapons of warfare is being given to 31 Presbyterian College cadets, along with other college students of the Third Army area, at the U. S. Army’* 1965 ROTC summer camp now underway at Fort Bragg, N, C. The six-week training parted for advanced ROTC students, normally taken the summer af ter the junior year in college, is scheduled to extend through July 30. Summer camp is a to- quired part of the ROTC pro- g ram leading to reserve commis sions in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. Presbyterian CoUege cadets now at Fort Bragg include: «r Ceatroi? AID TO EDUCATION at va rious levels comprises a substan tial portion of the legislative program presented by the Presi dent to the Congress this ses sion. A bill providing aid to sec ondary and elementary educa tion has already boon enacted. THE CONGRESS new haa as- bOli to pro- « to high- As drafted, the higher edacatloa hois would provide direct greats to to stadeats. Federal expend!- tares to auriet higher edacatiae already smeuat to approximate ly 83% bflUoa per year. IN RECENT YEARS, instita- tions of higher education have bean subjected to a heavy strain on their fSeHMss and eapabfli- ■pectacnlarly. Costs of dlities and of providing coarsoa and services, such as libraries and laboratories, have dimbed steadily. At tbs same time, changes in our economy make it more essential than ever for young people to secure ad vanced training in order to find gainful and productive employ- 18 an alternative, however, to federal grants and loans. This alternative is the education tax credit, which pro vides equitable assistance while avoiding the dangerous pitfalls inherent in direct aid programs. THE EDUCATION TAX CREDIT would permit a credit sgainst the Federal income tax of persons paying for tuition, fees, books, and supplk of stu dents in institutions of higher education. Each dollar of credit would reduce a person’s tax by $1, regardless of the person's income tax bracket. A deduction at exemption saves a taxpayer with a IlSjOOO income more tax dollars that it saves a taxpayer with a 16,000 toeome; but a tax credit saves both taxpayers the —me number of dollars. UNDER THE pruvisisne of & 638. a bill I introduced in January, persans paying for tai- tiou. fees, basks, or sappHos of college sfdsnta would be pa ■litted to take a tax credit eqs to 20% of the smeuat paid, ap to a auiximam credit at 64M. There are bow peadbie eda- catioa tax credit bilk, each dif- fertag bs detail, hut al foOew- teg the same principle. THE MOST IMPORTANT ad vantage of the education tax credit over the Federal aid ap proach lies in the fact that the education tax credit method avoids the possibility of Fed eral control Experience has proved beyond doubt that Fed eral control is inseparable from Federal aid programs. The eue- •a of our educational program is largely due to the diversity which it embodies. The pres sures toward conformity, which is the form that Federal control inevitably takes, endanger the success of the entire higher edu cation system. An education tax credit would in no way interfere with the ditersity of the educa tional systems. THE EDUCATION TAX CREDIT method would avoid the Constitutional ksno of aid to religious schools. Serious Con stitutional questions arc raised whoa foe Federal Government authorises direct grants or loans to colleges operated by churches. Tbs First Amendment to toe Constitution would not bo vio lated by an education tax credit based on payment of a student's tuition and foes at n religions college, just as it is not violated by permitting n deduction of contributions to n church or re ligious activity. THE EDUCATION TAX CREDIT would help theoe who md it toast. Sixty-two per cent of the dollar beaeftto from aa iucatkn tax credit would gu to fawlHos with anuual iucoases •tween 8SJM and SIMM. la . IdHion, perssus other thaa par- outs weald ho encouraged to help poor children go to college, far they could obtaia the tax credit THE CHOICE between Fed eral aid to higher education and the education tax credit Is a clear one. If the purpose is to advance higher education, the education tax credit provides too moans: if Federal ..atool is the purpose. Federal aid will that control. A bill of tore wfll pass; the issue of Fed eral control remains to bo de cided. Sincerely, M. Oobb, Earl P. Guy, HI, Samuel Lyons, Jr., Roland F. Matson, Charles A. Meriweth er, Jr., Howard L.
