THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER t, 1841 Utl 1218 College Street NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA O. F. ARlMFIELD Editor and Publisher Published Every Friday in the Year Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. ARTIFICIAL PRICE INCREASES The tremendous price rises that have taken place have imposed a serious hardship on millions of people. Additional rises, at least in some lines, are anticipated. These increases are the inevitable result of present-day operating costs. Now it appears that additional, avoidable and artificial price in creases may also occur—because of restraints on the operation of large- scale merchandising organizations which operate with a minimum of profit, and pass ma._. num savings on to the consumer. This is the result of the recent Federal court desicion holding that the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea company, a large national chain, has been operating in restraint of trade and so is guilty of violation of the anti-trust laws. The opinion specifically held that this chain’s policy of cutting costs to the con sumer to the bone was against the intent of those statutes. If that de cision is upheld in the higher courts to which appeal is being ' made, it is obvious that low-cost merchandising will be outlawed in large part—at the consumer’s ex pense. No criticism of the judgement of the courts is involved here. It is the judges’ duty to hand down de cisions based on what the law says, not on what it should say. Remedial action must come from Congress, which is the source of all Federal law. And certainly, it will be the duty of Congress to change any law which penalizes efficiency, places a premium on waste, and which forces prices to higher lev els than would otherwise be neces sary. THE PHILOSOPHY OF AMERICA Doctor Harold C. Urey, who par ticipated in the development of the atomic bomb, warns that either the United States must secure ade quate international control of the bomb or begin preparations for the third world war. Without fuss or furor, military authorities are doing just that—preparing for the next war. It will be the war of the atom bomb. With such horror threatening them, the American people should take stock of themselves. Just what is jt that compels them to choose death if need be rather than face a future under the possible dom inance of another nation? The pop ular slogan of “saving the world for democracy” is not enough. In fact, no catch phrases, including tear-jerking sermons on the four freedoms, are of sufficient spiritual magnitude to cause an individual to step forth willingly to die. Yet something so powerful pervades this land that the people will un- hesitatingy choose destruction rath er than “appease” those who would have us live other than according to our political ideals. The challenge of the atom bomb may do more than anything else to restore the American sense of values. False standards cannot live in a nation where the people think seriously. A new understand ing of the philosophy that the in dividual is more important than the state, is long overdue. This is the essence of Christianity. It is this, and nothing else;, for which the people of this country are willing to stake their lives. It is this Christian philosophy of the individual first that we see and feel in the clean morning air in every nook and cranny of the United States as millions of us wend our way to work and play. It pervades every business enter prise big and little. It is the foun dation of our government. On Sun day the bells of thousands of churches peal a ringing affirmation. No mere clumsy words can de scribe this philosophy of America, but it is there for all to enjoy—and it is worth more than life itself. 5 METHODIST MINISTERS RETURNED TO NEWBERRY The upstate Methodist conference of the Methodist churches held their annual meeting in Columbia last week and returned the following ministers to Newberry: Central church. Rev. H. C. Rit ter; Epting-Lewis church, Rev. B. H. Harvey; O’Neal Street church, Rev. C. F. DuBose, Jr.; Whitmire church, Rev. E. S. Jones; and Po- maria church, Rev. E. Q. Gunter. The only change in appointments in the circuit js the Rev. R. L. Hall, who atkes over the Newberry cir cuit, replacing the Rev. W. R. Owens, who held this position for the past several years. Rev. Everett A. Dasher, a stu dent at the Semina^ in Coumbia, spent the weekend in the home of Maxcy Stone on Caldwell street. Reverend Dasher delivered the morning sermon at the Kendall parish. DRAYTON RUTHERFORD HOLDS NOVEMBER MEET The November meeting of Dray ton Rutherford chapter, held with Mrs. H. L. Parr and Mrs. Ralph Ba ker was attended by 17 members. After the salute to the Confederate flag and the ritual, Mrs. Bothwell Graham, Recording Secretary, read her characteristically interesting minutes of the last meeting. The chapter was delighted to welcome the return of a former member, Mrs. Boyce Pearson of Strother, and to add to the roll the name of another former member, Mrs. M. B. Caldwell, now living in Saluda. It was with sincere regret that three members of the chapter were reported hospitalized: Misses Nora Long Mattie Adams, and Mrs. Geo. Johnstone. A communication was read from the U. S. Treasury department urg ing members to save their money and thereby help to prevent infla tion by investing in bonds. Mrs. Steve Griffith was appointed to keep a record of bonds bought and sold by members. A communication was read from the S. C. Division Chaplain, Mrs. Mims of Edgefield asking that in the opening devotions of f e chap ter, a prayer for peace be made each time and that the devotions close with the Mizpah benediction. The chapter is glad to comply with this suggestion. Mrs. R. D. Wright told of the re cent state convention held in Co lumbia with an attendance of 250, of the fine financial reports made, of important work done by various state committees, and of the en- enjoyable social affairs sponsored by the three chapters of Columbia. The members were especially in terested in seeing the black lace dress made in 1910 and worn by Mrs. Wright in the historical pa geant staged during the convention. During the historical program, Miss Rosabel Thompson read a very instructive article on James D. Bulloch, Secret Service Agent of the Confederate States in Europe. Delicious homemade ice cream and homemade pound cake were served during the social half hour. Equally delicious fruit nectar was served before the meeting.

REMAINING $3,807,000 ON BUZZARD ROOST DEBT PAID Greenwood, Nov. 5 —With the purchase of the $3,807,000 in bonds held by the Federal Works admini stration, the Buzzard Roost power plant has been removed completely from federal financial obligations. Chairman John B. Sloan of the Greenwood County Electric Power Commission said today. Delivery was made in New York last week on the $5,000,000 bonds sold recently out of which the PWA bonds were brought. The remain ing $1,193,000 from the new bond issue will be used to help pay for the erection of a 10,000 kilowatt steam plant which will increase the capacity of the Buzzard Roost plant by about 50 per cent. Contract for construction of the 10,000 kilowatt steam turbifie gene rator has been let to Westinghouse company, Mr. Sloan said, and work on it has already begun. Babcock and Wilson has been awarded the contract for the boiler and other firms have been awarded contracts for subsidiary items needed for con struction of the new unit. No contract has been let for the building, Mr. Sloan said, and prob ably none will be let until after the first of the year. Speed of con struction of th steam turbine wilt be the determining factor as to the date the plant will be ready to go into operation, he said. The new unit will be located ad jacent to the present steam plant at Buzzard Roost. The $5,000,000 bond issue was sold to R. S. Dickson and Co., Inc., of Charlotte and , the Stranaham- Harris and Co., Inc., of Toledo, O., and associates. The bonds were sold at an average of 2.38 per cent interest rate, in comparison with the four per cent which the Com mission has been paying the PWA. This reduction in interest rate will save the Commission approximately $2,000,000 during the life of the bonds. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Patridge and two children, Molly and Frank, wil spend this weekend in Pickens with Mr. Patridge’s father, J. T. Partridge^ Dr. and Mrs. Frank Kneece and two daughters of Blackville, spent the weekend in the home of Mr. Kneeces brother, J. V. Kneece and family and also attended the New- berry-Wofford game Saturday. J. W. Buchannan, who was a pa tient in the Columbia hospital two weeks undergoing treatment, re turned to his home on Summer street last Friday and is reported to be doing nicely.
