FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1»46 A HELD FOR COOPERATION There is a real field for cooperation between advocates and opponents of compulsory health insurance such as now “ agneivDi proposed under the WagneivDingel 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 ^her hand there is work to be done by the United States public health servke which seeks to better 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 notable to pay for comprehensive medical and nospita ioH>ital 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-^onsoi^ 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 expressed the opinion that a major need in the overall program is for a central a.uthonty to co ordinate the work of the voluntary prepaid health plans. Private medidne has given the American people the best service in the world and there is no need for socialized medi* cine now. Government can help improve economic conditions to better^e health of the nation and it can cooperate with private medicine in promoting voluntary prepayment plans for meddcal 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 complish that end.

King Urges Tobacco Growers To Vote Today •’Vote yoar town way, bnt by all meana vote.” 'That was the final sp* peal* UDutde today to flne-cnred tobacco growers of Kershaw county By M. G- King, chalrinan of the county agricul tural conservation committee, in urg- ing farmers to participate In the flue- cored tobacco referendum today, July IX. “Congreas has made It posaible for ns to decide for ourselves whether we want marketing quotas on flue-cured tobacco for 1547 and its up to ns to go to the polls and state our prefer ence," said Mr. King. “At the present time, flue-cured tobacco growers are producing above world 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 prlcee to growers for the tobacco they pro duce,” be said. If quotas are approved, individual farm acreage allotments for 1947 will not be leas than 80 percent of the 1946 allotment for any farm which has grown up to 75 percent of Its alloted acreage in any one of the past three years. There will be a small acreage for upward adjustment of old farm gllotipents, 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 csb increase allotments any time lip to March 1, 1947. Every person who has an Interest in the 1946 crop of flue-cur^ tobacco as owner, tenant, or share cropper is entitled to^ vote Jn the referendum but no perpon la entllled to more than one vote‘even though he prodncee 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 and voting one way or the other. This is the democratic way of deciding this Important issue and I urge that every flne-qured tobacco grower In the county Ro to his com munity toting place on Friday, July 12, and rote iq thia referendum.’* Polls will be open from 8:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m.

Brenchley, com manding officer of the Columbia sta tlon of the United States ares] cmlting senrke of South Carolina has announced that the new pay raise for memberi of the armed‘forces applies to all men who enliat in the regulkr army as well as those already enlisted. This new pay raise, states* Captain Brenchley, makes enlistment In the regular army more attractive than ever before. The new pay raise, which is effec tive July 1, 1946, changM the month ly base pay of enlisted men as fid- lows: Private from $50.00 $75.00; private first clast from $54.00 to $80.00; corporal from MO.OO to $90.00; aergeant from $78.00 . to $100.00; staff sergeant from $96.00 to $115.00; technical sergeant from $114.00 to $185.00; and first and mas ter sergeant from $188.00 to $\65.00. Retired enlisted men heretofore or hereafter retired with credit for SO years service and who served beyond the continental limits of the United States between 1898 and 1912, such service having been computed under previous laws as double ,time -toward retirement, ehail be entitled to the maximum retired pay now provided for the grade In which retired. Pay Inereasee reeultlng from amead- ments made by this act shall be ap plicable to active duty or retired pay of all persons whose pay la governed by sections of the pay readjustpient' act of 1941, as amended, which are amended by this act. No pay increase for any period prior to Jnly 1, 1946, shall accrue by reason of enactment of this set. W. Rhett Harley. SUte Director for -the United States Employment Service for South CarcrfinA-polnta out that under the 0. I. BnTCongrees has delegated t^e responsibility of find ing suitable work Ibr returned veter ans to the Ehnployment Service Spec- lal services for veterans have been set up in all local USES o: eluding Job counsellnju*”^ selective placement and preferre^^ttentiOn to all handicapped veterans. In .each local employment service office there is a veterans employ ment representative who has 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 thorongh train ing. Since many returning veterans have never .been employed in priv ate industry before entering the ser vice. and many others acquired new skills' while serving In the armed forces and desire employment that will utilise these new skills, vocation a) 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 knowledge of services rendered to veterans by other agenc ies so they may properly direct them if they are In need of assistance the the Employment Service is not able to give. TTils is particularly true as regards training facilities since many veterans wish to take advantage of the training program provided under the O. I. Bill. Mr. Harley states that while no ef fort Is being spared to provide the 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 emidiaslxes that the United States Employment Ser vice is a public agency provided by the Government and Its services are free to workers and employen alike. An employer is not obligated in any way by placing an order for worken 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 Mn. Elisabeth T.' Cox, of Columbia. One thottsand and ftorty-six yonf men from Sontk Carolina applied tor enlistment in the Regnler Amy dur ing thr month of Jane thronili 'the’ke- cniiting offlcee of the armjr recrattitoE service of Sooth Craollna states, Caip- taln George A. Brenchley, command ing officer of the local station lo cated at 1708 Main atreeL Columbia. Of the grand total tor Sooth Caro lina, 2X8 were recruited thronidi the Colombia station. The large. number of men applying In the month of June la credited in part to the high school gradnates ealieting in tha army in order to receive the edncationid benefits of the O. L BUI of Rights. Capt ^nchley states that the re- iitlng Jrorvlce campaign is by no medne-l^er. An intenaified campaign will be carried on nntU each time as the army ia made op entirely of volun teers. All advantages sad benefits an der the 0. I. Bill of* Rights to be gained by* service in the army are stUl operative. FamUy allotments are gnar- anteed for the duration of the war pins six montha. Former non-com- miaaioned offlcMU may re-enlist with in 20 days of the date of their dis charge and retain their grade. Cer tain skUled former servicemen may re-enlist at grades based upon their training and experience, provided they were honorably discharged on or after May 12, 1945, and enlist for si 9-year period. Former servicemen nre entitled to a re-enlistment bonus of $50.00 for each complete year they have served since last being paid a re-enlistment bonus, or since their last entry Into the service, provided they apply for enlistment within 90 days from the date they were re leased from the service. All yonng men who arf not flnan cially able to go to college this next year are urged to consider seriously the army’s offer of four years In col lege for three years in the army. This offer not only includes payment of np to $500.00 for tuition but also an allowance of $65.00 per month ($90.00 if married) towards living ex penses whUe attending college. Any yonng man Interested 'should contact the Columbia recruiting station. PASTOR EXTENDS THANKS To the officers, members and friends of the Mt.
