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.

M. G. King Urged
Tobacco Growers
To Vote Today
Anderson’s Enjoy Florida Trip
Rev. and Mrs. Theodore P. Ander
son, accompanied by his daughter.
Miss Leonore Anderson,’ of New
Haven, Conn., left Camden oh June
27 for a trip to Florida. Mr. Ander
son’s sister was visited at Jackson
ville and a brother at Interlacken,
Via. Many other interesting points
were visited. Among them, historic
St. Augustine and Silver Springs.
“Vote yoor ttwn way, bnt by all
means rote.” That was the final ap
peal made today to flne,.cured tobacco
growMS of Kershaw county by M. G.
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.

Pay Increase
bL Regular Army
Effective July 1
W. 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.
This new pay ralasv states* Ceptaip
Brenchley, makes enlistment in the

States between 1898, snd 1912, such
