Each person's influence may be far reaching There is somebody observing us, semebody is admiring us and ready to adhere to our inf.uenccs. A little chap five years old was sitting on a back perch cracking hickory nuts. All of a sudden, h*s mother was shocked and amazed to hear his baby lips pour forth a stream of blasphemy that would have i commanded the respect and admira tion of the most reskless pirate that Waccamaw Neck €ver paced a deck. The little fellow had pounded his finger. Investigat : on disclosed that he had overheard his grandfather, who had been a sea captain and wlidm he greatly admired, teil ng of an excit ing episo'3 that occurred in the China Sea. > Here is an interesting sidlsight. Suppose that tfi’s little boy’s grand father instead of repeating a string of adjeefves dear to the seafaring man of his day, had recited the Lord’s prayer—would the little boy have repeated the Lord’s prayer when he pounded his finger? He would not. It is a fact that a good influence is not as far reaching as a bad in fluence. W.hy? Because it is a lot easier to yield to the undesirable -’m- pulses that seem to be natural to us than to appropriate the desirable qualities we are here to acquire. This very fact places on us more heavily than ever the obligation to set the right kind of example. An example for good is mildly ef ficient. An example for bad is pow erfully destiuctive, therefore each of us as a leader has a great respon sibility. :xr be built at this county Scncca—Bridge will Whitmire’s coinccting and Pickens County.

The problem of farm labor short age, which is said to have troubled agriculture in some parts of the counrtjij will be solved by increased use of power on the farm, in the opinion of E. A. Stewart, division of agricultural engineering, University of Minnesota. While we may have s'x times the population in 1950 as in 1850, it is probable that the decrease in farm workers, which began a number of years ago, will continue until - by 1950 no more farm workers will be necessary to supply food for a pop ulation of 150 mill'oi than were necessary in 1850 to supply susten ance to 25 million, according to Mi- Stewart. “Use of mechanical power in agri culture ” he said, “is so modern that still mere than two-thirds of the world’s total fcod supply is obta ned by man power only, and less than five per cent by . mechanical power. Only a baby, power farming is re garded by many with the indiffer ence that greeted the advent of ma chine farming. But, what machine faiming has done for this country in the last century w'll be more than duplicated by power faiVning In the 20th century.” The same change is cc'ming over agriculture that has been effected in ’.nodern industry. The future trend will be t(*.vard high production with ‘h'> aid of power. Successful farm ing v/Tl no longer depend on a larg - * labor supply, that of necessity is expensive, slow and, in comparison with powen operated equipment, in efficient and wasteful. Farm power is advancing agricul tural c’vilization and placing it on a new plane o; economic importance. txt Uniformity Service On Ford Product* Far-Reaching Plan units, and Tennessee, after already ft- 4 full sessions, and many mar.ufac- having merged two counties, now turing plants have entered the coun- a. American System Best Travelers from abroad are in ac cord in their statements to the ef fect that in no country is telephone service found which can be compared with the United States. New York calls over 6,000,000 times a day—more calls than are placed in all of Great Britain. Boston has twice as many tele- phdnes as Paris. And so on thre-ugh the list of cities in th e United States. There are eight states in our fortyeight states which have more telephones than the entire Republic of France. This has been brought about by private initiative and enterprise which is just the reverse of govern ment ownership a s in vogue in Eu rope when it comes to giving service to the public. txx The old-fashioned grocer who used to throw in a bag of candy when you paid your bill, the meat man who would toss in a pound of liver, and the clothier who would give you a pair of suspenders with your new suit, have all passed. Today we have to pull like the dickens to get ’em to throw in five gallons of gas when we buy a new car. tXt • Whenever an editor c-pens a letter that begins, “I have been a subscrib er to your paper for 40 years,” he knows right away that he is in for something else besides a boquet. TO HAVE A TRULY REPRESEN TATIVE GOVERNMENT EVERY CITIZEN MUST USE HIS FRAN CHISE AND VOTE FOR CAND IDATES AND MEASURES THAT HE BELIEVES ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF HIS COUNTRY Co Un'formitv of service o.' the new Ford Model ‘‘A” cars and Model “AA” trucks is being main tained by the Fo:d Moto* Company through a plan which involves the tra'ning, in the Foi'd plants, of ten ^heusand garage mechanics. The Ford branch plants, ard the Detro it factories have assumed the char acter of a gigantic training school, to which every Ford dealer in the United States is sending c-ne or more representatives. This school for service men began with the training of superintendents and foremen of the thirty-six branch plants of the company in the Unit ed States. Before the Model “A” Ford car was introduced, these men from the branch plants were being schooled in the Fo d factories near Detroit in the manufacture and as sembly of the new car. They return ed to the thirty-six Ford branches and immediately began the training of men for dealers in their respective substa- i territories. The men come in relays, each group as large as the branch plant can handle conveniently. The groups are purposely kept small, in order Charleston—Edisto Public Service moves offices from Denmark to diis city for coisolidation with ilcuth Carolina Power Co., offices.

Be It cm—Southern Railway Com pany r■'tailing steel rail crossing : A/;i.rson Street crosses tracks be given. Each man is put through the same course given the branch men at Detroit, and upon its com pletion is given a rigorous examina tion. This examination includes many points abcut the car which might not be considered essential, from the service man’s viewpo'nt. However, the Ford Company is/requiring com plete knoweldge of the car on the part of every dealer’s service men. Failure to make a passing grade means that the man has to take the entire course again. If he fails a second time, he is sent back to the dealer with the suggestion that he is not considered qualified to give Ford service; whereupon, the dealer sends another man for the next training school session. This requirement for trained serv ice men extends to every Ford dealer no matter hew small his establish ment may be. Many dealers have sent two or more men to the branch for training. Upon passing the fac tory examination, these men return to the dealers’ shops and pass on to the entire shop organizations the ame careful instruction given at the jranches.

Jbr Economical Transportation CONSTANT EXPANSION —to serve Chevrolet owners better rr- INCH J st more than a million new Chevrolets have been de livered to owners— making the Chev rolet Motor Com pany, for the second consecutive vear, the world’s largest builder of automobiles! This outstanding achievement has been attained not only be cause of the quality and value of Chevrolet cars—but also be cause there has been a constant expansion of Chevrolet serv-ice facilities. In order to bring these mam moth facilities of the Chevrolet factories to Chevrolet dealers and owners everywhere, there have been erected 26 huge parts warehouses i;i the princi- palcentersofdistribution. This expansion program is continu ally^ going on—for four great additional warehouses will be in operation by January first and seven more by the sum mer of 1929. Into the service departments of all Chevrolet dealers, Chevro let has brought special tools and shop equipment—designed under the supervision of Chev rolet engineers. This equip ment definitely assures maxi mum speed and precision and the lowest possible cost in the performance of every Chevro let service and repair operation —which are charged for on a flat rate basis. Furthermore, all of these tre mendous facilities have been made available to 15,000 authorized service stations manned by skilled mechanics, over 25,000 of whom have been factory trained to efficiently handle every repair operation on a Chevrolet car. In addition, there are over 4,000 other points where genuine Chevro let parts may be obtained. Uniformly efficient, uniformly reliable and within easy reach of everybody everywhere—this great service organization is maintaining at peak efficiency the fine performance for which Chevrolet cars have always been renowned. We cordially invite you to come in and see how our service facilities reflect the influence of this great national service program. X \ rain civROLti co. McCormick, S. C.

B. &. W< Rapid Transit 50% of its shop costs The A. B. & W. Rapid Transit, operating with its subsidiaries, 30 big motor buses and 19 Yellow cabs in and about Washington, D. C., has used other oils for years. About 16 months ago a change was made to “Standard” Motor Oil. At the end of the first 6 months, Mr. R. L. May, proprietor, stated his records showed “Standard” had reduced maintenance and repair costs ex actly one-half. “The record also showed,” says Mr. May, “that our buses are now averaging 83 miles per quart of oil while our gasoline mileage averages 6.1 miles per gallon. We consider this most satisfactory. My only regret is that we did nt>t decide to use ‘Standard’ several years ago.” STAN DARD MOTOR OIL Standard' Greases, Transmission Oil and Gear Compound are made with the same care as Standard motor fuels and motor oils.
