Eargle That Piece of Paper Fruits of Socialism Notice to Creditors The couse of economy and re trenchment in government—about which much has been heard lately —seems to be in a bad way. It is true, that at the instigation of the President, the budget bureau has done some minor paring in expen ditures. It is also true that no really important cut has been made anywhere. It isn’t enough to shave pennies off the Federal budget. We’ve got to shave dollars—and billiens of them. The very magnitude of Fed eral spending is in itself one of the strongest inflationary influences. And it is the influence which can be most quickly curbed by decisive action. Congress, v/orking on the cynical doctrine that this is an election year and spending gets votes, did Zion J. D. Kinard John A. Bundrick J. E. Bundrick J. B.

W. B. BOINEST, BEN H. CALDWELL, JOE H. SIMPSON, Commissioners of State and Coun ty Elections for Newberry Coun ty, South Carolina. BEN H. CALDWELL, Clerk. Oct. 18, 1946. 025-N1 Socialim—despite all of the voci ferous claims cf its advocates—pro duces nothing of itself. England to day is a good example of that tru ism. The Labor government came to power on a platform pledging ev entual socialization of all basic re sources. As its first step, it prompty socialized the coal indus try, whch has long been a trouble spot in the British economy . But, to the enormous disappointment of the true believers, no miracle oc curred. Coal production has not been increased—to the contrary, it has tended to decline. The wor.cers are no happier than before—in fact, they seem even more disgruntled. Their lot has not been improved in any way, and there is no prospect of bettering it in the foreseeable fu ture. And they can’t do anything practically nothing in the interest of government economy. And it is evident to anyone that little will be done until public pressure forces it. So long as the “free spenders” con tinues to be elected to high office, waste will be the watchword. The interest in this to you, as worker and taxpayer, is obvious. Take a look at one of those green pieces of paper called a dollar. The future value of that piece of paper, in terms of commodities and labor, is the issue at stake. Other pieces of paper, called francs and marks and kroner and yen, have become worthless because of government excesses. Will it happen here? All persons having claims against the estate of Leila Kidd Conrad, deceased, are herby noiiLed to file the same, duly verified, with the undersigned, and those indebted to said estate will please make pay ment likewise.

C. about it—because the British coal ndustry is now the same thing as the British government. Here in the United States we have temporarily socialized our coal industry. The mines, which were seized by Presidential procla mation during the strike, have not been returned to their owners. These owners are the forgotten men when jt comes to negotiations—Mr. Lewis’ union and the government make all the decisions. One won ders what thoughtful workers think of this. Have they forgotten that socialism, in various forms, has destroyed the freedom of labor in Germany, Italy and Russia? Workers can force industry to negotiate. But no one can force government to negotiate if it doesn’t want to—unless we are to have absolute anarchy. Labor can, if it desires, do much to destroy free enterprise—but it should real ize that it will destroy free labor with it. It’s Just As Simple As ABC You pick out your new car.

Phone 197 — — ■ ■■■ ■■ ■ ■ ★' A MESSAGE OF INTEREST to all who await deliveries of new Chevrolets * ■ ■ — We want you to know that everything possible is being done to speed deliveries to you/ but production still lags far behind schedule —even though Chevrolet has built more cars and trucks than any other manufacturer from January through September 1946 W E REALIZE how eagerly you are awaiting delivery of the new Chevrolet you have ordered from us, and we want to pass on to you the latest information received from the Chevrolet Motor Division, even though that information isn’t too encouraging at this time. It is true that Chevrolet leads all other manufacturers in total production of passenger cars and trucks from January through September 1946, despite the fact that Chevrolet was out of production entirely during the first three months of this year. It is also true that Chevrolet has continued to maintain its lead in total production during the third quarter of 1946. And yet production is still running far below desired levels, with the result that Chevrolet’s output of cars and trucks through September 1946 was only 38.7% of the number produced during the corresponding period of 1941. This means it may take many months for the Chevrolet Motor Division to reach peak production of new Chevrolets—even longer to fill the unprecedented demand for this product of BIG-CAR QUALITY AT LOWEST COST —and, for the present at least, “there just aren’t enough Chevrolets to go around,” much as we wish there were. However, we want you to know that new Chevrolets are leaving the plants in the largest numbers possible today. The Chevrolet Motor Division tells us it is doing everything it can, in the face of continued suppliers’ strikes, material shortages and manpower problems, to step up shipments to us and to all dealers, in accordance with a predetermined distribution plan assuring each dealer of his fair allotment, based on 1941 passenger car sales. And we, in turn, are doing our best to deliver new Chev rolets to oui customers as rapidly as they are received and in the fairest possible way. We are too appreciative of your loyalty and good will—too grateful for your patience and under standing—to do anything less than continue to serve you to the very best of our ability. KEEP YOUR PRESENT CAR RUNNING Meanwhile, the most important car of all to you is the car you are driving now. May we suggest that you keep it in top run ning condition until you secure delivery of your new Chevrolet, by bringing it to us for skilled service now and at regular intervals. Remember—cold weather is hardest on old cars. Please see us for a complete check-up today. . . . And, again, thank you/ DAVIS MOTOR COMPANY 1517 Main St. Newberry, S. C.
