1 f 10 th'k CMNTON chronu i.e Clinton, S. C„ Thursday, November 17, 19B6 The Republican Surge Now matter how one analyze^ the recent election, the G.O.P. surge was impressive. Republicans gained five Governorships and are now em plan ted in most of the key states such as New York and California, with obvious im plications for 1968. They gained three Senate seats. And they made an im pressive gain in the House—more than 45 seats. President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society will consequently have rougher sailing in Congress.' The result also failed to repudiate most of the Presi dent’s Vietnam critics, for such foes of LBJ Vietnam policy as Mark Hatfield in Oregon won. Results in the South have been somewhat misunderstood by some ana lysts. They concluded (prematurely) Republican gains were not im; ressive. But with Republican candidates for Gov ernor leading the ticket in Florida and Georgia, with Arkansas electing a- Re publican, and with such states as South Carolina and Texas electing Republican Senators, times have indeed changed in Dixie. Barry Goldwater has made the South a two-party region. The bright stars, of the G. 0. P. won in key races all over the country and it seems assured that the party will have an adequate supply of national candi dates. The 1966 election shows a drift away from the philosophy of the LBJ Administration. The drift could con tinue, accelerate or be arrested. All that can be said at the moment is that the tide is running in favor of the G.O.P.. with serious implactions and considera tions for those looking ahead to 1968. The Fight Against TB One of the greatest humanitarian ef forts in this eountry is the campaign for Christmas seals, the proceeds from which go into the fight against tubercu losis. The annual Christmas-seat sale is now underway and the TB Association asks you to contribute to the fight against this dreaded disease. Eventually, the effort of the people of this country will produce a successful answer to tuberculosis and other res piratory diseases. In the meantime, your contribution will make you an ac tive worker in this great cause and speed the day when an effective alfswer to these diseases will be found. No other time of the year is more appropriate to contribute to such a cause than during the approaching Chrismas season. and courage and discovery that await you. Each will contribute something to your total viewpoint and philose^H> and, in the end, what you have learned by acquainting yourself with these books will add much to your total personality and knowledge. THE AMERICAN WAY Using A Library In this day of television entertain ment and expanding travel and outdoors activity we sometimes overlook the world of pleasure and education await ing us at the nearest library. The great thinkers and statesmen have been, throughout history, avid readers, and it has often been said that if you know what a person reads you’ll know a lot about the kind of person he or she is. While many still take advantage of all that awaits the curious or the inbelli- genl; in good books, too many of us have fallen into the indulgent pattern of allot ting most of our time to idle talk or gossip and to watching sterile television programs. A good resolution to make before the New Year—less than sixty days away—is to read a good book at least oncq a month. There are many inspirational stories, gregt biographies, tales of adventure Bahson’s Point of View^ On Each Husband An “Economist” By ROGER W. BABSON Babson Park, Mass.. Nov. 17—There was once a day whei\ only specialists paid much attention to national economic trends. That was a time when life was more casual, more “local." There was no jet-plane transporta tion, no swift-as-light communication. But now the pace of change has quickened and deepened in business, finance, social devel- opmepts, international relations and family life. If a man is to make the best of his abilities, his assets, and his domestic situa tion, he must be pretty much of an "econo mist” himself. PREPARING FOR SOCIO ECONOMIC CHANGES Today an individual (and, of course, his family) is more of a cog in the wheel of our total society than ever before. For top suc cess a man must be truly flexible, quick to sense new tendencies and get ready for their emergence. No matter what field a worker is in, he ought to keep an acute eye on the probable prospects for his occupation. Au tomation and other dynamic innovations cause the phasing out or the narrowing of many jobs. A man caught in the upsweep of technol ogy should recognize the dwindling opportun ity in his job. New areas are opening up constantly, and a study of basic economic trends will reveal where the best positions will be and where wages and salaries wjll be highest. It is up to an ambitious family head to decide whether he should shoot for further experience and training in his pres ent field, or move immediately into a more promising pursuit. The one who makes up his mind intelligently and takes the appro priate steps toward betterment is most like ly to end up on the top of the heap. INVESTMENT KNOWLEDGE A MUST Once a young husband or father has es tablished a home, assumed a fair degree of insurance protection, and has a reasonable nest egg in the bank, he should think about building his estate. Part of a well-balanced holding would usually consist of carefully selected stocks,bonds, and eventually some real estate. Here again each man will find that he must become more or less an “econo mist” himself in order to proceed safely and wisely. He will want to know what businesses and industries will benefit most from the direc tion pur economy and our society are taking. A higher standard of living and a more so phisticated attitude on the part of consum ers will alter the needs and preferences of the general public. Automation is turning int® an ever-greater business, while comput ers are steadily, changing the landscape of our service and industrial fields. The fore- sighted man will determine the liveliest fields—for investment, for job chances for himself, and for giving direction to his chil dren’s education. CHILD EDUCATION AND RETIREMENT A father must play the part of the econo mist in planning for the education of his children. In our ever-expanding economy, costs of schooling will be going up like other living expenditures. What might appear to bb an adequate education fund right now may prove pitifully inadequate in a few yenrs, Hence, economic trends must be pro jected so that a family education fund will be sufficient when needed, even though it may megn some temporary “austerity” on the home front. ... Every man should think about plans for retirement while he is still young, not wait until he is pushing senior citizenship. Chanc- es are strong that retirement living at the level 6f his choice will be subsantially more costly in the years ahead than it is now. True, there have been dramatic gains in provisions for retirement payments ) medicaf care, and other personal benefits. But the fact remains that a man must be versed ih economics if he is going to aim for the high est possible standard of living for his wife and himself in retirement. He must know where the economy is heading and how rap idly, where he is heading and how efficient ly. He must learn as he goes along and take advantage of every opportunity to better his leverage and increase the estate on which he can finally retire—and probably eventual ly leave to his family. He must be his^wn “economist.” The Customer is Always BOSS!' Stories Behind Words By William S. Penfield Meander The ancient Greeks took note of a particular rive in Turkey. The Greeks lived in mountainous country, where the rivers plunged in a fairly straight course to the sea. The Turkish river, the Mean der, was in flat country, and its current was com paratively sluggish. Another notable thing about the Meander from the Greek standpoint, was the many twists and turns it took. Anything that wandered slowly and aimless ly like the river, therefore, was said to “mean der.” FARMS and FOLKS By L. C. HAMILTON Gemson University Extension Information Specialist CLINTON, S.

W. Siedschlag, Clemson marketing specialist, Colum bia, says, "I have talked to a number of people who buy corn and they say they are getting only about half of the corn they got last year. “The corn dealers are pay-, ing prices ranging from $1.45 to $1.50 a bushel (for No. 2 yellow corn) to get this re duced quantity. That’s 25 to 25 cents more than they paid last year.” Moreover Mr. Seidschlag says the Atlantic coast ports that have shipped most of the corn for export during recent years are receiving only about 25 per cent of the vol ume they had last year. South Carolina’s 18.8 mil lion bushel corn crop, a 25 per cent reduction from last year, is 119, doubt influencing local prices. In Chicago com prices on October 13 were 20 cents above the same week in 1965. Stocks of com an hand in the U.

GOODMAN Insurance Agency — For — Fire — Homeowners — Auto shipments of South Carolina corn will be lower than pre viously, and that, based on Dr. Malphrus’ estimates, the in-shipments of corn will greatly increase. If no corn at all were ship ped out-of-state, Dr. Malphrus estimates that South Carolina users would have a deficit of about 8.7 milion bushels in 1966. Take from that amount the actual outshipments, as yet unknown, and you would have the amount of corn that must be shipped into South Carolina to fill the needs.

Pitts St. Ull—HUM 833-3977 ing to the Crop Reporting Service, is indicated at 4.1 billion bushels, about 82 mil lion bushels short of 1935 pro duction. South Carolina users of corn consumed 26.6 million bushels in 1965, according to L. D. Malphrus, associate professor of agricultural eco nomics at Clemson Univer sity. “We are estimating that South Carolina users will consume an estimated 7.5 million bushels this year. This means that in view of » our short crop, there will likely be large increased in shipments,” said Dr. Mal phrus. Shipments of com coming into South Carolina amounted to about 2.1 million bushels. During the same year about 3.7 million bushels of South Carolinai corn were shipped out-of-state.
