11. IMS SENATOR STRO URMOND Reports PEOPLE ATTACK ON RHODESIA The United Nationa has once more taken off on its vicious vendetta against the sovereign and independent nation of Rho desia. In December, 1966, the UN Security Council passed a resolution requiring its mem bers to impose sanctions against trade with Rhodesia in selected strategic items. A few days later, President Johnson com plied by issuing Executive Order 11322, making it illegal for Americans to import or ex port certain Rhodesian goods. In recent days, the UN Se curity Council has come up with a far more sweeping B r 11 i s h-sponsored resolution which imposes total sanctions upon almost all Rhodesian trade. The US. meekly went along with this new attack upon a free nation, explaining its position only after voting ves NEW BOYCOTT The new boycott orders an end to all exports and imports to and from Rhodesia except medical supplies, books, news, and propaganda. The resolu tion cuts off all funds for in vestment and all remittances except for pensions. It forbids travel on Rhodesian passports, orders an end to all airline service to or from Rhodesia and emphasizes the need for breaking consular relations. Although most nations of the world freely violated the earlier UN embargo when it suited their political or eco nomic Interests, the U.S., al most alone, enforced it with excessive zeal. The Adminis tration even cracked down on a shipment of souvenirs al legedly made of Rhodesian copper. The same zeal is no ticeably lacking when it is a question of trading with Com munists who are helping to kill our boys in Vietnam. But far more important was the practical effect of the ban on the importation of metal lurgical grade chromite ore, the key ingredient of chromium and stainless steel. The two principal suppliers of chromite in the world are Rhodesia and the Soviet Union. Figures now available for 1967 show that the Soviet Union has become the principal supplier of high- grade chromite to the United States, because of the Presi dent’s ban on Rhodesian im ports Moreover, the Soviets have raised prices by $6 to $7 a ton for 1968 shipments. DEPENDENT ON COMMUNISTS Evidently, the Administration is willing to allow us to be come dependent upon a hostile Communist enemy for a critical material Without chromite, we cannot produce the sophisticat ed alloy needed for modem air craft and weapons. In a pro tracted conflict, our stockpiles would disappear. Moreover, the embargo risks the permanent closing of the Rhodesian mines, and the dispersal of trained technicians. The U.S. is actively promot ing the UN conspiracy to de stroy the friendly government of Inn Smith. Yet any UN- sponsored government that sup plants the present Rhodesian government Is bound to be anti-American and anti-capital ist. Therefore, even if the em bargo succeeds in Its intention to destroy an Independent na tion, the United States stands to be almost totally dependent for chromite either upon the Communist regime in Moscow, or a hostile native regime in Rhodesia. There can be no question but that Rhodesia is an independent nation. The government has overwhelming popular accep tance by its citizens, and every part of the land is peaceful Rhodesia has pro claimed its desire to live in harmony with all of its neigh bors, and has never exhibited the slightest aggressive action or intent. RHODESIA’S FAULT Yet the charge against Rho desia is that she is a threat to international peace and secur ity Rhodesia’s chief fault seems to be that her success and prosperity have excited the greed and envy of her less competent neighbors. Whether anyone likes the domestic policies of Rhodesia, or not, they are the policies of a sov ereign nation The UN is for bidden by her Charter to meddle in the domestic affairs of any country. The question remains: How far will the U.S. government go in perpetrating the myth that Rhodesia Is under British con trol and subject to UN action at Britain’s request? One might as well proclaim that the U.S. Declaration of Independence was also illegal and that we are still under the control of Great Britain. When one sees our grovelling accept ance of the plot to destroy Rhodesia, it makes one wonder whether we are indeed inde pendent of Great Britain after 192 years (Not prepared or printed at government expenseJ Partnership BY RICHARD GANTT Attorney Presbyterian College Business organizations are usually classified into four dif ferent types: individual proprie torships, partnerships, corpora tions, and business trusts. Often a person enters into part nership without actually under standing the legal obligations in volved. The Uniform Partnership Act defines a partnership as an association of two or more per sons to carry on, as co-owners, a business for profit. The part nership agreement need not be in writing, however, the under standing should be carefully pre pared and written. One important area involves problems that arise upon the death of a partner. The remaining partner or partners should have a buy-and-sell provision, en abling them to purchase the in terest of the deceased partner. The same hold true for a with drawing partner. Life insurance is often used to provide funds for purchasing the interest of a deceased co-owner. There are two distinguishing features between a partnership and a corporation: A partnership is the result of an agreement be tween two or more parties; A corporation comes into existence by reason of an act of South Carolina. Secondly, the liabilities of partners are unlimited. Each paatner Is personally liable for all obligations of the organization created In pursuit of the busi ness. The liability of a corpora tion member is limited to the extent of any unpaid balances due on stock owned by him. A corporation pays income tax on its net profits, and the stock holders must also pay an indi- vidual income tax upon the divi dends they receive. A partnership pays no income tax itself, but each individual partner pays a personal Income tax on his share of orofits. The partnership must file Federal and State Income tax returns ehowing the net profit RICHARD GANTT CITATION FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION The AT BARBECUE — County 4-H Poultry partici pants shown from left to right are Caroline Pinson, Allen Finley, Eleanor Coleman, Eileene Coleman, Mary Lou Adair. Becky Craft and Bruce Simpson, countv winner. and the amount allocated to each partner. Certain partnerships can elect to be treated like corporations for tax purposes. Some small corp orations may elect to have corp orate income treated as if it were partnership income. The important point to re member is the extent of liability you assume by being a partner. You become personally liable for all the acts and debts of the part nership. This is the primary reason that prevents doctors and lawyers from incorporating their businesses. The courts have held that these professional men must stand personally liable for all acts of the partnership. This means a judgment could be ob tained against you because of a partnership account For this reason alone you should know your partner well. 4-H Poultry Barbecue Cook-Off Held BY HELEN CAMP Asst. Extension Home Economist The County 4-H Poultry Bar becue Cook-offwas held Tuesday, June 4, at the Laurens County- Fair Grounds. Seven 4-H’ers participated in this activity. They were: Caroline Pinson, Eleanor Coleman, Mary Lou Adair, Becky Craft, Eileene Coleman, Allen Finley, and Bruce Simpson. These participants were judged on equipment, starting the fire, controlling the fire, cooking time, doneness of chicken, appearance of finished chicken, taste of fin ished chicken, and their personal appearance. The judges were: Mrs. Martha McDaniel, Home Economics Teacher at Gray Court-Owings School; Mrs. Mi riam Templeton, Home Econo mics Teacher at Hickory Tavern School, and John Welter, Area Poultry Agent with ClemsonUni versity Extension Service. White ribbons were presented to Mary Lou Adair and Caroline Pinson. Red ribbons were pre sented to Eileene Coleman, Becky Craft, and Allen Finley. Those receiving blue ribbons were Eleanor Coleman and Bruce Simpson. Bruce Simpson was the county winner. He will represent Laurens County at the District Cook-off at Spartanburg later this SS Card Is Needed On New Job “The young man was almost in tears. He had a new job but his employer would not put him to work until he produced his so cial security card. He had lost the card several months ago and just put off getting a new one because he remembered his num ber. Now he needed to go to work without delay as he was broke and running out of credit." This true experience was re ported to us by Carlisle Bagwell, District Manager of the Green wood Social Security Office. He went on to caution a person seek ing work to be sure he has his social security card and that the card is presented to the new employer on reporting for work. “Memory will not suffice," said Bagwell. “Only by presenting the card to the employer may the employee be sure his wages are correctly reported to his account. Most employers know this and in sist on seeing the card before putting a person to work." Bagwell urged youngsters planning to look for work for the first time and those who have lost their social security cards to obtain a card without delay. The card may be obtained at the Social Security Office at 219 Mag nolia Avenue in Greenwood. NOTICE! CLOSED FOR VACATION JUNE 16-JUNE 19 SUN.-WED. ROBERT'S DRIVE-IN month.
