"^Hwrsday. FeBnuary 4, 1932 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER SEC ONE MAN'S GUESS York has been so thick with gloom that we have had to carry -lights at mid-day. Men talk about “thirty years of bad busi- and “the collapse of the capitalistic system” and “the end of gold standard^” etc. Millions of dollars in cash are hidden in safety deposit vaults. Since all the authorities have proved wrong, and one man’s judgment e as good as another’s. I venture to publish my little guess as to tt is and what is not going to happen. It has been the record of history that times of great tribulation re- aaftt in the removal of great abuses. feid Lincoln in 1864: “At the end of three years’ struggle; the na- •gaan’g condition is not what either party, or any man, devised or ex- jKcted. God alone can claim it. Whither it is tending seems plain God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and will that we of the Kacth, as well as you of the South, shall pay fairly for our complicity &a that wrong, impartial justice will find therein new cause to attest .«rad. revere the justice and goodness of God.” N Iff the Civil War had ended quickly it would have settled nothing. It ^dragged through four weary years, but it abolished slavery. H the present depression had been easily cured no good would have <EaBie of it. It is so bad, so world-Wide, that it is compelling the jceples of every nation to realize the two fundamentals which were set Scrth convincingly in Sir George Paish’s book, The Way to Recovery. 1. We are compelled to realize that the old-time insular, nationalistic 'Sfldnking is out of datfe in a world which has been shrunk to a neigh- Inrhood. No nation can prosper unless all nations prosper. Tariffs *zsd reparations and international jealousies are shackles on trade and saean less prosperity for us all. 2L It trade is once freed from these shackles, including the worst, wfoich is international suspicion, the future has possibilities beyond our ■widest drehms. The consumptive power of humanity is unlimited. l in the most advanced nations the standard of living is still low are potential markets enough to keep all our resources employed, to make all of us well to do. 3* therefore, am optimistic, not because this is a minor depression but it is so very serious, so world-wide,-so packed with suffering everybody. it is finished we shall be compelled to effect international reforms that we never should have cansidered in prosperous when we do get business going again our prosperity will amaze us. m EVERYTHING FOR : PAKllES r You can rely on us to furnish you with the favors, novelties and decorations you want for your Valen tine party.

Miff AGAIN TAKES THE SPOTEIGHT Although thrift is always in order and always popular with some, it was forgotten by many when prosperity was riding the peak. The last year or two has served to restore thrift back to its place of great importance until now it is uppermost in the minds of all. MAKE 1932 AN OUTSTANDING THRIFT YEAR m your life. We don’t mean to be miserly—spend for what you need and help others, but be thrifty and save the surplus. We invite you to save with us and enjoy the peace of mind that goes with safety and the advantages that come from helpful co-operation. THE PEOPLES BANK “ McCORMICK, S. C THE T/4MIEY DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.Di t YOUR BABY * p— ' ■ > Now let’s not talk about vitamines and calories and modified milks and adenoids and all that; leave it to the specialists to theorize on the fine-spun; let’s talk about the baby—YOUR baby. First: Baby is supremely selfish. He’s too busy attending to his own affairs to bother about the comfort of any one else—and, he's ex actly right; if more people attended to their own business we’d soon have a better race of peopled i Second: A baby is just a digestive tract, an air compartment, ahd a minute, nervous bundle, with a water-cooled motor. So long as he is comfortable he will not kick up a row. No respectable baby will tolerate a safety-pin boring into his umbilical region, nor will he fail to resent rough seams that grind his arm-pits or groins; remember, if he is comfortable he will be peaceful. No baby enjoys howling any more than you do. Treat him with sense. Third: Baby will cease feeding when he has enough, and he’ll do it every time; but don’t urge him to take more; whenever he lets go is the instant for closing the seance. Of course he’s, just like you, and would over-stuff himself just as you do; then trouble comes. The keenest of judgment is in knowing when to stop. Lastly: Maybe you have one of those cute, idiotic Pomeranians; if to, turn it over to the maid, and take care of baby yourself. It’s a re ligious duty of yours to care for your own flesh and blood. A worth while parent will entrust jfhe baby £o no alien hands. Lower Long Cane Church Schedule Sabbath school every 1st, 3rd and 5th Sabbath afternoon at 3:00 o’clock.
