At a closed breakfast meeting attended by lawmakers representing farm areas, mm told the group that if they wanted a farm bill, they would have to vote to kill Section 14 (b) of the Taft-Hartley Act Similarly, it is presumed, Humphrey also went to the labor group and told them to support the farm bill if they wanted to repeal Section 14 (b). So. Humphrey, in his role as bird dog to flush votes for the Adminsitration, is playing both ends against the middle. ter communications and equipment far lo cating, reporting and fighting Area. In commenting on the new forest fire record State Forester John R. Tiller said, «It is gratifying that a new record low of forest fire damage has been set. However, this should not cause us to be complacent. Rather it should serve as a challenge to maintain and improve the record, because in the past favorable years have been fol lowed by years of heavy losses. Keeping forest fire losses low requires constant vigilance by forestry organisatkHis, land- owners and the general public. With con tinued cooperation by all South Carolinians our forest fire losses can be kept low, and our forests can play an increasingly impor tant role in the economy of our state.” T f"': — la fart TH* A MER fCA N WAT Time To Kick The Habit Washington columnist Lyle Wilson draws an unusual, and ominous, parallel: ‘To reduce taxes repeatedly while spending borrowed money probably is like the use of morphine—comforting and good under con trolled conditions but disastrously habit forming. The user becomes hooked. Since 1933 the United States has been hooked by deficit spending. ‘The time and symptoms of withdrawal are terrible to anticipate. So terrible that politicians and people may never face up to government economy and debt retirement.” There is-certainly every reason for Mr. Wilson’s pessimism. At the same time, painful as withdrawal might be, the agony that will result if deficit financing goes on long enough is certain to be far worse. The dollar will become less and less valuable, and the standards of living of millions will go steadily down. Many, such as those who live on pensions and other fixed in comes, will be impoverished. As with morphine addiction, the time to kick the deficit is now. The longer we wait, the tougher it becomes. Walter Lippmann writes: “Whether we are dealing with Viet Nam, the Domi nican Republic, or with the foreign aid program in general, there is one common problem which is crucial and central for all the many things we are undertaking. It is to And governments that we can sup port which are reasonably honest, efficient and progressive, and are trusted by their own people” Greenwood last ning. Mrs. Patsy Howard of spent the >.

Mass., July 22—Young people considering a lifetime career would do weQ to take a long hard look at the service trades before making a final job decision. There is a wide scope of opportunities in these fields, ranging from the easiest and simplest tasks to work re quiring the highest levels of education and busi ness training. OPENINGS STEADILY INCREASING A compelling reason for focusing on the ser vice industries now and in the years ahead is the fact that our economy—once heavily industrial in terms of employment—is shifting its emphasis to the service area. Just ten yean ago manu facturing employment slid, for the first time, be low 50 per cent of the total working force of the nation. Since then the decline in goods-prodne- ing workers has persisted, dropping the total to about 45 per cent With automation and other means of increasing productivity becoming more prevalent, jobs in manufacturing may continue to Stories Behind Words WWa* S. PnflcU Shoddy The Corrective Washington reporters are saying that the vote on repeal of section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, which permits the states, if they so choose, to pans Right-to-Work laws, is apt to be extremely dose and could go one way or the other Just why this , should be so is a puzzle. Right-to-Work doesn't discriminate in any shape, manner or form against labor or the unions. It simply gives each worker the right to choose—to decide for himself, without fear of union or employer coercion, whether he wants to belong to a union or doesn’t If that isn’t a fundamental right essential in any free society, what is? The compulsory union shop makes for labor monopolies comparable to the finan cial and industrial monopolies that were outlawed long ago. And the compulsory union shop leaves the way wide open for exploitation of the membership—the work er must join or become jobless and is with out the power to fight abuses. Right-to- Work is the corrective. The principal reason this has not brought on an unemployment crisis of major proportions is the limiglsainiii emergence of a service-orient ed economy. The dynamism of this »•*«»"g* may from the fact that the toUd of las risen from 1A.C wrfni— at to approximately Aad ever greater lessaro time, iMrre gains in family incomes, may broaden the they look into In the Yorkshire factories of England the fluff or wool that waa shed during the spinning process was rolled “shoddy,” from a Middle English word “schode” —to shed or divide. Later, the name was applied to cloth made from reclaimed wool. The wool was reclaimed by shredding old garments into the original fibers. Then the fibers were spun into new doth. The old fibers were weak. Even though new wool sometimes was mixed with the old, the resulting cloth still was a decidedly inferior quality. Eventually “shoddy” was used to denote not only the doth, but also any worthless thing masquerading as something of quality.

During the year 2,442 wild fires burned 18,827 acres of woodland, according to South Carolina State Commission of For estry records. This is a big improvement over the previous five-year average annual burn of 4,182 fires and 45,724 acres. The record reflects a reduction of al most half the number of fires and more than half the seres burned. Favorable weather conditions helped to hold down forest fire losses. Also contrib uting to the improved record were forest fire prevention and education efforts; co operation by landowners, law enforcement agencies, and the general public; and bet- WIDEXDfG SOdPE OF > Some may be the powerful they a m the real of all types. Then there professional, and repair occupations affecting practically all phases of our national and per sonal lives. Government is one of the major service fields—providing ever-expeaading em ployment at municipal, state, and federal levels. A number of the service occupations do not demand exceptionally high educational back grounds, so that even school drop-outs or those unable for one reason or other to go through college can often find fairly well-paying starting jobs. Also, those who prefer to be self-employed will find a steadily widening field of opportunity' within the booming service categories. Services have attracted many female employees (close to half the total), often because such jobs require no outstanding physical strength; whereas. In goods-producing lines the total of women work ers amounts to only about 20 per cent. EFFECTS OF SERVICES GROWTH ON THE ECONOMY Fortunately, the growth of a mors heavily service oriented economy Is likely to mean great er job stability for those involved, since moat of the seasonal and cyclical unemployment occurs among workers engaged in producing goods. In asmuch as it is going to take fewer and fewer people to turn out an ever greater flow of prod ucts under automation, obviously the service seg ment of our business system will become a grad ually more Important fundamental support for the nation’s economy. This change in the make up of our employment structure could eventually help to ease the type ef recession that used to be a real problem because of the wide-scale layoffs of productJon-Uae workers. There tends Is be grester-than-average pro vision for pay raises, job security, and retire ment programs in a number of the most impor tant service categories. This is, of course, par ticularly true In the various branches of govern ment, from federal to local. Also boosting the upsurge in service activities is the increasing availability of jobs tor part-time workers—often a real help to older men and women (retirees, or those who want to add a little to their basic in comes.
