Some communities attract
people because of their fine va
cation or recreational attributes,
while others do so because of
their economic or industrial po
tential, but it is really unusual
to find a rather small city that
offers a healthy combination of
these factors.
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-

ter H. Aull.

tional faculties, the pleasant
year-round climate, and Its hos
pitable atmosphere.
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.

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.
