/ T t I THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Clinton, S. C„ Thursday, April 28, 1960 rs in County •e Producing More From time to time The Chronicle re- E eivea reports of production records of arious breeds of cows in Laurens Qoun- t ty, from cattle breeding associations ! .over the country. These associations f keep and disseminate the records of * outstanding animals supplied by agri- ‘ cultural colleges (Clemson University * in this state). We are impressed by the milk pro duction records being marked up by - cows from various dairies in the coun- • ty. The records show that dairymen in . the county know their business of breed ing, raising and feeding their cows. Dai. rymen are upgrading their herds at a rapid pace. Instead of milk production records of about 8,000 pounds a year, which is the average for the country as a whole, county dairymen are getting animals on the record books that produce 12,000, 14.000 and 16,000 pounds per year with a comparable increase in butter fat. In recent months, we have had records in this county of 19,000 and 20,000 pounds production. That is really stepping up the quality of dairying, and it reflects good management. Among dairymen having outstand ing herds, for which we get reports, are the Browns of the Bailey Community, Caldwell Henderson with his Joanna herd, the Simpsons of Cross Hill, Stod- dar Brothers of Owings, and the Thorn- well Orphanage herd. There are prob- ■ably others that should be mentioned “with this group. A number of non-reg- istered herds are also good producers, m Altogether, our dairymen are doing «an excellent job in the face of almost •^insurmountable difficulties that stem jfrom the pricing structure in this state. find that the discounts are not nearly as impressive as they seem to be, and quite often the merchandise isn’t as de sirable as one might think. Heavily discounted items are often old models and in some cases models that never proved popular, because of appearance or performance. In this complicated age few people can keep track of things coming on the maricet and their true worth. So before you make an important purchase take time to make comparisons.-YOU MAY INDEED FIND THAT YOUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD DEALER CAN GIVE YOU A BETTER DEAL THAN YOU'LL FIND AT THE BIG, GLIT TERING DISCOUNT MART. AND SERVICE TO BOOT. And always remember: You never get something for nothng. the American wAY “For Realistic Shopping It is only human nature to want to *4Tet something for nothing, and this weakness has been the source of a lot ,/>f grief. On the large scene we see ■the results when believers in the “some thing for nothing” philosophy elect to J)ffice politicians who promise to make Jvery man a king, provide cradle to Jfrave security, and offer other varieties J)f pie in the sky all free of course. ’’ There is another manifestation of Jjhis thinking, however, which is a bit *more personal. In fact we encounter it every day. That is, the innate hope if every shopper that he is going to <$ind the kind of merchandise he wants I^or almost nothing And certainly below •Ihe dealer's cost or the manufacturer’s. On rare occasions such bargains are Offered and sometimes they are legiti- 3nate. The merchandise may be stock 3>ought from a company that has gone bankrupt It may be last year’s line, or that of the year before. Or it may be that the dealer needs space so badly that he is willing to sell some items at « loss Since such conditions make for bargains it’s a good idea to follow the advertisements to take advantage of luch opportunities. - The thing to watch out for is the iale that never stops. In other words, be wary when you patronize a store Which makes it a practice to offer mer chandise purportedly below cost, at give- away prices, day in and day out This Sort of merchandise has an irreaistable v Ippeal to people who believe you can |et something for nothing but it makes no economic sense. 2 At the same time it has accounted |pr an amazing development in mer- tfiandising, the growth of, “discount” Stores. These are usually legitimate, jpgithnately operated, but their main asset is gullibility. Alert shoppers who make intelligent comparisona usually B&bson’s Point of View On Paying Jobless To Go Where Jobs Are * By ROGER W. BABSON Babson Park, Mass., April 28—A big part of our Anti-poverty Program involves bring ing jobs to parts of the country that are suf fering from chronic unempoyment. There is another concept that may well become a key part of the fight against joblessness. This is paying unemployed men and women to move to areas where labor is short. RELOCATION PLANS ARE STUDIED Even though national unemployment has been pushed back to 3.77e-3.8"c, the lowest level since November. 1963, there are still pockets of manpower surpluses that stub bornly resist improvement. Appalachia and northern New England are two current ex amples, with others scattered here and there across the country. Since there are definite manpower shortages in many sections, the Administration is particularly eager to make full use of all labor. The Joint Economic Committee, headed by Rep. Wright Patman (D-Dexas), has been studying suggestions for solving unemploy ment problems. One study, prepared by Professor Martin Schintzer of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, is receiving consider able attention. It may become the basis for a widespread program of paying the unem- plyed in different areas to go where they are most needed. Interest has been increasing,-* and such a scheme is in line with others ac-' ceptable to the government. MANY COUNTRIES HAVE TRIED IT Strange as it may seem, a number of foreign countries—especially in Europe-r have for a long time been giving allowances i - to unemployed workers so that they can move to where jobs are available. The rea son for the outgrowth of this particular sys tem is the reluctance of people to move, of ten, of course, because they simply haven’t the money to do so. And the opposite course —bringing jobs to the unemplyment centers —stubbornly refused to work out in Great Britain, Sweden, and Belgium; unemploy ment totals have remained high regardless of such efforts. Hence, Britain plans to extend her pol icy of paying workers to move to where the jobs are. Sweden permits industry to settle where resources dictate. Then the govern ment pays labor to move to where the in dustry has located, at least in sufficient vol- lume to man the plants. In Europe general ly, this system is not necessarily limited to areas of extreme manpower shortages—but wherever the need for men arises. NEW PILOT PROJECT WILL BE TRIED / Here in the -U. S. relocation experimen tation began in 1963, but it covered only aoout 1,200 employees in 14 states under the Manpower Development and Training Act. The suggestions made by the Virginia Poly technic Institute authorities would be on a much broader—and more realistic—basis. They would include laying out whatever funds are necessary to move the workers to {daces of definite employment service. In this way many who have previously re fused to leave their homes might be persuad ed to try greener pastures. As in the case of many other job pro grams, the cost would be considerable, but it is fondly hoped by the money spenders of the Administration that it would be worth while. The development of new pilot proj ects is reported to be underway, and care ful examination of the results will determine, just how far the procedure will be allowed to spread. Businessmen in general should be interested in such a government system, since it could bring additional Supplies of la bor to those who find manpower hard to come by. draws nearer, there will be less schoolwork and home work done. , <i • • • To add to the excitement of the Junior-Senior is Senior Barefoot Day, which will be held Friday of this week.
