Of County's Manufacturing Payroll
(Prom The Gtotteimkef,
CUnton-Lytfi* Mills)
Laurens County's textile in
dustry furnished 56.9 per cent
of the county’s tothl manu
facturing payroll during 19W-
66, the South Carolina Labor
Department reports.
Production employees in
Laurens’ 11 tettile plants
were paid $19,lS2,?4& ih hour
ly wages dUrlhg the year end
ed June 30, 1966. The Labor
Department’s latest annual
report, issued Iasi mohth,
covers that period.
Textile plants ill the coun/ty
employed 4,203 notesalaried
men and women, 54\6 per cent
of the county industrial work
force.
The Labor Department re
port also shows that textiles
acounted for 60.0 per cent
$82,008,203) of the value of all
goods manufactured in Lau
rens County.
Textile statistics reported
by the state agency cover
spinning, weaving, knitting,
finishing and fiber manufac
turing plants. They do not in
clude the substantial complex
of related industries such as
apparel, machinery and tex
tile chemicals.

to the Labor Department re
port, textiles supplied 53 per
cen of the hourlypaid manu
facturing jobs mid 56 per cent
of the hourly industrial wages
in South Carolina. More than
138,000 production workers
drew more than $612 million
in wages on their jobs in the
state’s 371 textile plants.
The textile industry produc
ed more than 5 billion linear
yards of goods during 1965-66,
the report ihows, in 170 dif-
f e r e n t classifications of
household apparel and indus
trial fabrics and yarns. Their
value of $3.2 billion Was 56.4
per cent of the Value of all
goods produced in South
Carolina during the year.
Greenville, with an annual
textile payroll of $79.7 mil
lion, and Spartanburg, with
17,864 hourly employees, were
the biggest textile counfes.
But two smaller counties had
heavier concentrations of the
industry. Some 89.2 per cent
of all factory jobs Lancas
ter County were in textiles,
and Union County’s industrial
payroll was 95.5 per cent tex

Beatie who was
responsible together with his
sister for the Georgia-Beatie
Cottage and its maintenance,
upkeep, building, and devel-
oment, jointly assmmed the
responsibility of the erection
of one cabin in the amount of
$750.00.
We plan to have 12 such
cabins. Each cabin will hold
8 children or 7 children and
a counselor which will take
core of approximately 100
children at 1 tttte given time.
* Also, we needed a kitchen
and dining room and word
got out about our program
and a very kind friend in
Greenville, S. C., whose per
mission we do not have as
yet for publication, generous
ly donated the sum of $5,000.00
for its erection and equipment
which is ouite wonderful and
which is dearly appreciated!
V.I.We are going to have to in
stall sewage disposal facili
ties, dig a deep well, erect a
central bathouse with toilet
facilities, build a small cot
tage for staff workers, and a
recreational building. Also, a
swimming pool, for which the
excavation has already been
made.
There are several streams
running through the property
and we have located the swim
ming pool in an excellent site
where water from one stream
can pour in the top of it and
according to elevation, the
bottom can be drained by na
tural gravity without the use
of pumping facilities.
We heard of several people
in Charlotte, North Carolina
who owned or had access to
some beds and mattresses and
to whom we wrote a nice let
ter and received a reply this
morning that 60 beds and
mattresses would be available
and they were delighted to
make such a donation to such
a worthy cause. The Lord
works in wondrous ways; His
mysteries to perform.
We had hoped and prayed
for 20 years that such a sit
uation would develop so that
Thornwell could own and op
erate for our children a nice
Mountain Camp. Now it is be
ginning to be realized! Pa
tience is a wonderful asset if
you can just wait until God
sees fit to work out His plans.
Many other people will want
to have a part in this pro
gram and join us in the real
ization of such a wonderful
additional activity for the
training and benefit of our
boys and girls at Thornwell.
Social Security
Will the young worker , get
his money’s worth from social
secuHty? Since the number
of young workers contributing
to social security, continues
to rise, some feri they re«-
ceive less value than the per
son retiring rtoW, MlSI Martha
Pressly, social security dis
trict manager stated.
Actually, this is nut uue,
continued Miss Pressly. Most
young people generally con
sider the social security sys
tem as if It were only a re
tirement system, overlooking
the value of the disability and
survivor protection. As a mat
ter of fact, about 28 percent
of his contribution is attribu
table to disability protecUon
and of survivorship protection
for deaths occurring before
age 65, Miss Pressly com
mented.
Another point seldom con
sidered is that the younger
person generally has a larg
er family. Since children are
protected through age 22
should they become entitled
to social security, younger
families generally receive
larger monthly benefits for
longer periods of time.
Social security is also a
dynamic system which
changes to meet the needs of
society. A good illustration of
this point, Miss Pressly added
was the recent increase in
family payments from a max
imum of $254 to $368 monthly.
The younger person of to
day can expect to receive full
value from his contributions
as social security is designed
now and to continue to re
ceive full value as the pro
gram is changed to reflect
the needs of society.
The social security office
for this area is located at 219
Magnolia Avenue in Green
wood.

Marine Private First Class
James B. Weersing, son of
Dr. and Mrs. Marc C. Weer-
sirtg of 512 S. Broad St., and
Marine Lance Corporal Ray
D. McCall, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Elbert C. McCall of 405
Jackson St., both of Clinton,
participated in an operation
code-named “Arizona’’ 20
miles southeast of Da Nang,
Vietnam, while serving with
the Third Battalion, Seventh
Marine Regiment, a unit of
the First Marine Division. It
was a nine-day search and
destroy operation.
The unit is also engaged in
a civic action program de
signed to assist the Vietna
mese people in completing
self-help projects, such as the
building of wells, culverts,
small bridges and schools.
Equipment and materials for
the projects are made avail
able through the Marine
Corps Reserve Civic Action
Fund. Marines in Vietnam
provide the know-how and
guide the Vietnamese people
in carrying out these projects.
Hints for Better
ers—you should tape at-ouud
the tops with freezer take to
keep top from popping loose
or bulking up. Fruits some
times pick up flavor of cheap
er plastics.
8. COVERED BAKING
DISHES — Place freezer tape
around closed edge Of baking
dishes to keep top from slid
ing off and to keep air-tight.
9. Coffee or shortening cans
with ptestic tops are good for
storing cookies, etc. Again
tape closed edge to keep air
tight.
10. Freezer glass jars are
excellent for freezing. The
wide mouth allows frozen
food to slide out easily. They
stack easily. They are avail
able in one and one-half pint
size, a handy size for the av
erage family.
MEATS
1. Meats will pick up paste
board flavor from ordinary
pasteboard containers in
which meat is found at the
grocery store. New plastic
coated trays are available
now in some stores. These are
OK for freezing, but make
sure package is air-tight.
2. Beef patties or hamburg
ers can be frozen individual
ly. Place a piece of wax pa
per on bottom and top of each
pattfe. Pt*l ott itafrtvNhfeaily
as needed.
3. It’s good to slice cooked
ham and roasts and package
in individual servings.
4. Chicken, Osh, and Midi
are better when froten In W*
ter. They dohT dry out
BAKED GOODS
Freese cake in individual
slices. When company comes,
you may serve slices of sev
eral different cakes for vari
ety. Seven-minute icings will
not freeze. Butter icings and
cooked fudge icings, et£.»
freeze well.
ICE CREAM
Crush or crumble Wat pi
per to close air pocket When
some ice cream has Weft
used out of cartott. This keeps
ice cream front getting chewy
and gummy. This also retains
flavor. Don’t let thaW. Thii
makes it ley and tasteless^
It’s not good to keep Ice
cream too long. Store Ih re
frigerator 2 to 3 weeks* ih
freezer 2 to 3 months^
For information on canning
and freezing methods* call or

small* crust-like* light to dark
gray fruiting bodies of a fun
gus. From a distance, the
gross appears to be covered
With soot. It occurs common
ly during warm* moist weath
er. Remove the fruiting bodies
from the grass blades with a
broom or wash with a garden
hose. No other control meas
ures ore required.
WHEN TRAVELING BY
CAR^-Take along a can of
spray mist air freshener to
freshen your car after heavy
smoking, and in case motel
rooms are stuffy.
A R MY WORM OUT
BREAK: Reports or army-
worm outbreaks are occuring
ih several Piedmont Counties
including Laurens. Seven has
been recommended for their
control.
SOIL SAMPLES: Don’t get
caught in the rush! Take your
soil s:«nples now for fall
crops and get them in before
the fall rush.
If you apply spray, pur
chase the desired insecticide:
Lindane twenty per cent EC—
one teaspoon in on^ gallon of ,
water, twenty-fivC per Cent
WP—one level tablespoon in
one gallon of water; Malathi-
on 57 per cent EC—two tea
spoons per gallon of water.
Apply one quart of spray to
eac h 75 to 100 square feet of
border area or to each fifty
feet of row.

What your customers read and see makes the
most lasting impression.
By MARIE HEGLER
Extension Home Economist
Today many families pre
serve their food by freezing
it. Freezing retains the color,
flavor, and texture of foods
when proper procedures are
used.
Home freezers may be used
to advantage to freeze and
store fresh foods, to store
commercially frozen foods,
and to store cooked, baked,
and partially . prepared foiods.
To assure maximum bene
fit from freezing:
1. Select recommended va
rieties for freezing, using high
quality food.
2. Follow procedures and
practices recommended by
authomies.
3. Freeze small amounts of
food. Handle foods as care
fully and quickly as possible.
4. Use quality packaging
material and make sure pack
ages are air-tight.
5. Keep in mind that food is
frozen to be used and not sav
ed. Foods deteriorate in fla
vor and food value when kept
for long periods of time. La
bel foods and keep an up-to
date inventory on all foods in
the freezer.
HANDY HINTS
1. FREEZING TEMPERA
TURE — Your freezer should
maintain a temperature of 0
degrees Fahrenheit or below
at all times.
2. PACKAGING MATERIAL
—Ordinary aluminum foil is
not good for freezing. It has
tiny holes. You should use
heavy duty foil which is de
signed for freezing.
3. Some plastic wraps do
not have enough stickahility,
therefore would not keep the
package air-tight. Check the
brands to make sure to have
one which clings readily.
4. New quilted plastic bags
are now on the market. They
do not puncture easily, and
they don’t stick together
These are available in a wide
range of sizes.
5. Better plastic containers
stack easily, hold shape well
and are air-tight.
6. Plastic loaf bread bags
are good for storing goods for
short lengths of time (1-3
weeks).
7. Cheaper plastic conthin-
