FRIDAY* JULY 12* 1946 A FIELD FOR COOPERATION There is a real field for cooperation between advocates and opponents of compulsory health insurance such as now ^aimer-Di proposed under the Wagner-Dingel bill. Adequate health care is expensive whether voluntary or compulsory. Those who think it is going to be free because, it is compulsory, will be due for a shock when they are re quired to pay some |4 per $100 on their monthly pay check, whether they want Jo or not. On the other hand there is work to be done by the United States public health service which seeks to hetter the health opportunities of the nation. It can improve in the fields it is now covering and extend its efforts to other fields. The fed eral government may lend its financial support to areas where the people are not able to pay for comprehensive medical and hospital care. This does not involve compulsion. In contrast with proposed compulsory federal medical service there were in operation on January 1, 1945, fifty-nine medical-society-sponsored prepayment plans in twenty-five states and at least, ten others were in process of development, says medical economics. All are voluntary and all provide in dividual choice among participating physicians. Nearly all cover the entire family. ^ Medical leaders have expuessed the opinion that a major need in the overall program is for a central author^ to co ordinate the work of the voluntary prepaid health plans. Private medicine has given the American people the best service in the wprid and there is no need for socialized medi- ^ cine now. Government can help improve economic conditions * to better the health of the nation and it can cooperate with private medicine in promoting voluntary prepayment plans for meddcai and hospital service without compulsion. Let gov ernment take care of the indigent and destitute but don’t change the whole medical system to one of compulsion to ac- complMi that end.

King, chairman at the county agricul tural conserratkm commiftee. In urg ing farmers to participate in the flue- cured tobacco referendum today. July 12. “Congress has mads It possible for ns to decide for ourselves whether we want ma^etlng quotas on flue-cured tobacco for 1247 and Its up to ns to go to the polls and state our prefer ence,” said k^r. King. “At tbs present time, fluj^ni^ tobacco growers are producing above worhk. consumption levels to build up depleted stocks in foreign countries. Marketing quotas afford the opportunity to adjust this supply to meet demand. Marketing quotas furnish growers with a method of adjusting supply to demand and can help to provide fair prices to growers for the tobacco they pro duce," be said. If quotas are approved, individual farm acreage allotments for 1947 will not be less than 80 percent of the 1946 allotment for any farm which has grown up to 75 percent of its allots acreage in any one of the past three years. There will be a small acreage for upward adjustment of old farm allotments, particularly small farm allotments, and for establishing al lotments on farms on which no tobac co has been grown in the past five years. If the supply and demand situa tion warrants, the secretary of agri culture can increase allotments any time up to March 1, 1947. Every person who has an Interest in the 1946 crop of flueH:ured tobacco as owner, tenant, or jhare cropper is entitled to vote'Jh the referendum but no person is entitled to more than one vote even though he produces to. bacco in two or more communities, counties or states. Mr. King said, “I believe it Is up to us to show our interest by going to the polls snd voting one way. pr the other. This is the democratic way of deciding this important Issne and I urge that every fine-cured tobacco grower In the county go to his com munity voting place on Friday, July 12, and vote in this referendum." Polls will be open from 8:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. Voting places in Kershaw county will be as follows: Steve Lane’s store in Bethune, S. C. A. A.

Rhett Harley, SUte Director tor the United States Ehnplojrment Service for South Carolina points out that under the G. I. Bill Congreoe baa delegated tjie respbntibility of find ing suitable work for returned veter ans to the Employment Service. Spec ial aervices for veterans have been set up in all local USE18 offices, in cluding Job counseling, selective placement and preferred attention to all handicapped veterans. In each local employment service offi^ there is a veterans employ ment representative who bat* been thoroughly trained to give the maxi mum assistance to veterans seeking work. Also in each office there is one or more vocational counselors who have received thorough train ing. Since many returning veterans have never bemi employed in priv ate industry before entering tbe ser vice, and many othera acquired new skills while serving in the armed forcea and desire employment that will utilize these new skills, vocation al counseling is of vital importance in the* placement of veterans. Since nearly all veterans call first at employment service offices for registration, the personnel, must have a thorough knowlc/dge of servicee rendered to veterans by other agenc ies so they may properly direct them if they are in need of assistance tbe the Emplo3rment Service is not able to give. This is particularly true as regards training facilities since many veterans wish to take advantage of the training program provided under tbe O. I. BUI. Mr. Harley states that while no ef fort is being spared to provide tbe maximum service for veterans, the Employment Service is badly handi capped by the failure of some em' ployers to list their Job openings at the local offices. He emphasizes that the United States Employment Ser vice is a public agency provided by the Government and Its services.are free to workers and employers alike. An employer is not obligated in any way by placing an order for workers. He makes his own choice from care fully selected workers referred to him for Interview and ^ since the ma jority of unemployed veterans are registered with the employment ser vice the employer has a selection from the best qualified workers available. The Camden office is located In the Agricultural Building and is under the supervision of Mrs. Elizabeth T.' Cox, of C<Uumbla. Capt. <^orge A. Brenchley, com manding officer of the Columbia sta tion of the United States army ,i crolting service of South Carolina has announced that the new pay ralae for membmrs of the armed forces applies to all men who enliat in the re^^kr army as well as those already enlisted.

The large number Ha man a, vacation betb. o clock yon mig^t at noo^^nst expectliar noon of the day of hto rejj of men applying in the month of June is credited in part to the high school graduates enlisting in the army In order to receive the edncational benefits of the O.
