UPHHMH THE CLINTON CHHONTCLE Clinton, S. C„ Thursday, May 5, 1966 CleanUp! • Why is it im portent to prerent Ktter and safeguard beauty? Litter is not only a health and safety menace, but N expensive to clean up. Some $500 mi- lion in tax money is spent each year to de-litter highways, city streets, parks, beaches and other public areas according to Keep America Beautiful, Inc. Conversely, a clean well-kept com munity generates citixen pride, indicates stability and property values hold up. Then what can the average person do about it? A great deal. In fact, he is the only one who can stop it because he is largely responsible for it. Here are some specific do’s and dont’s: Keep a neat litter-free home and back yard. Teach your children not to litter and most important of ail set a good exam ple by not littering yourself. A good example will rub off on your children- also on your neighbors. Always carry a litterbag in your car and be sure to use it. Encourage local youth groups to sponsor anti-litter proj ects. Remember only people are litter- bugs. And people's habits can be chang ed. state of their affairs and what govern ment intends to do abotjtt, it. The cart has somehow been hitched to the wrong end of the horse and the wonder is that so ?ew people seem to notice the error. It is time that the people decided whether they really want to be cared fbr as serfs on their own land. After that is settled, they should make their decision known to their elected officials at the polls at every opportunity. The Last School Bell For millions of school children, the time of respite from books, homework and tests is almost at hand. Thoughts of a summer job, the playground, a camping trip, or a swim in the neigh borhood pool are intruding more and more on academic pursuits. Both the young and the old need a time to refresh their spirits, soak up what they have learned and take a look at the course of their life and work. For many high school and college students, the last school bell of this year will mean graduation- and the greater responsibility of putting to use what they have learned in productive work in their communities, their nation and their families. The habit of learning is the most valuable lesson they can carry away from their days of formal educa tion. The abiltiy to learn and adapt is part of living in this fast changing world. It is still true that knowledge without action is futile, but it ia more valid than ever before to observe that action without knowledge is disaster. The last school bell of the year brings change. It brings the fun of summer. May it bring also a time for young people to gain new resolve to pur sue the knowledge that awaits them in "the school rooms to come and in all the years of their lives that lie ahead. ONE ANSWER! Babson’s Point of View On Future of Farming By ROGER W. BABSON Babson Park, Mass., May 5—Over the past quarter-century, we have been watch ing ciosely the revolutionary changes that have taken place on the nation's farms. Ma chines have been replacing men at an explos ive rate, and now U. S. agriculture is a huge, modern industry. It is, in fact, our largest industry, providing income of $14 billion in 1965, a boost of $1 billion over 1964. We think this farm income growth is going to con tinue. FEWER. BIGGER—AND RICHER While the small, general purpose farms have been.fading out, the streamlined type of modern family operation has been moving triumphantly ahead. Naturally, this kind of farming takes plenty of outlay for mechani zation. and far greater technical skill. But. where the management is competent and well informed, the profits more than make up for the costs of machinery and the study required to develop more advanced techni cal know-how. Over the past five years, net income per farm has pushed upward 40 per cent to a new all-time high of $4,190. Perhaps even more significant is the fact that, in the same pe riod. per capita income of farmers has ad vanced 35 per cent while income; for the re- maiijder of the population has risen only 20 ptr cent. Farm labor costs have, of course, been drifting downward for years because oi agricultural mechanization, and acreage has been climbing steadily for the individual farms These latter trends are bound to continue. STRONG SUPPORTS There have been many related reasons for the healthier demand for agricultural products and for rising profits. The most elementary but important cause is the enor mously broader spending for foods of all sorts, due to large increases in population, soaring spendable income, and richer eating habits. Exports of farm produce have been on the upward path for a long while. Mar-,* kets have been particularly well sustained in - Highlights From Clinton Ijjgh * , By PATS1?sAoNS If **': By PATSY Furr In Debate At University Fayreli Furr, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Qlln Furr. w«s one of four finalists competing in the Freshman Oral Argumen\ Competition at the law school of the University of South Carolina recently.

Penfieid Horse Latitudes A certain area of the Atlantic Ocean is noted fer its long calms—periods in which there is-lit- tle or no wind. The area is north of, and paral lel to, the equator. During Colonial American,, times, sailing ships sometimes were stranded for extended per- riods in this calm area. Some carried horses to the West Indies. When one of the ships became stranded, the fresh water supply rah low. and the horses died of thirst. The dead horses were dumped overboard, and thus that area of the Atlantic became known as the “horse latitudes.” president and Tom Baldwin. and the refreshments, senior class president, gave j^j ss Watts . was , remem- the response The entertain- b ered w jth many useful gifts. ^ » j * i ^ n ment, which was planned and 0ut of town gUests < included fore that date, and all per- given by the juniors, included Mrs McGinn of Charlotte S0T1S havln £ cl # ,rns agamst prophecies of some of the N c Mrs. ' Ferguson of said estate wllp resent them seniors who were present and p aif t 01 ! eS t and Shealy r "‘ ht,tnrp snld datp du,v and daughter, Elizabeth, of Charleston, Miss Elizabeth LeesVille.

A scant hundred years later, the first transcontinental railroad Blast and West was joined to gether near Ogden, Utah, and the Unit ed States as one nation stretched from „the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. This in 1869 and since that event the American people have accomplishe what would have taken a thousand years of history in a slower moving time. They were able to do this becain they lived under a government restrain ed by the Constitution from indulging in political oppression or confiscating for the uses of the “Crown” the prop erty and income of the people. “But the times seem to have changed and net in a direction Hfcely to improve the feoff term health of the goose that has laid so many golden eggs. “.Free” Sutizens and “free” enterprise alike find ^henmelves sitting on the edge of their chakR awaiting the latest word from Washington concerning the current will continue to be heavy shipments to needy^ ^*1 know she nations that lack sufficient growing opera- improving but still a pa- tions of their own.

HARVESTS COULD BE GREATLY INCREASED In spite of the phasing out of great num bers of marginal farms, the strong nucelus of larger units that are left could dramati cally step up agricultural production. Total harvests during 1965 smashed all previous records. Experts feel that even these highs could be upped some 20 per cent in a couple of years if federal acreage controls were done away with. Some interested parties are suggesting that 55 million idle crop acres be replanted, especially in view of the number of countries where starvation ac tually threatens. What would be the effect of sudden re moval of acreage restrictions? Prices would tend to fall unless demand could be kept in line with outturn. Since world markets are a strong part of the success key for Ameri can farmers, exports would have to be main tained—even increased—if price softening were to be prevented. However, we feel that—under present conditions and with this dire world need—there may be dangers of shortages, at least in some grains and other basic farm products. Certainly, if under developed customer-countries on a wide scale could be brought up to the economic level of Canada or Japan, our farmers could whistle a happy tune for a long time.
