VOL. 13—NO. 35 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1951 SOME POINTERS FOR 1951 Mrs. Adams Dies Alter Long lUness By Lou Schneider In The Anderson Independent Every year, at this time, the nation’s top-notch bankers and businessmen flood your reporter with new year forecasts. More than 100 are in hand. Each speaks authoritatively, builishly, but carries an escape paragraph should something go wrong. But one particularly stands out as a bright light; the most sensible of all. National Association of Credit Men’s executive manager Henry H. Heimann wrote the best 1951 forecast. It is direct; most in formative; and covers every sub ject concisely. Here it is, in full: “The new year calls for great sacrifices that will be cheerfully made in the interests of a strong er America and more peaceful world. “However, the sacrifices and controls will be resented if color ed by politics, or used for social experiments not contributing to the intended objectives. “Labor will be in short supply. Despite efforts to control infla tion, wages will rise in dollars. Dollar buying power will de teriorate further. The decline need not be drastic. “Taxes may increase to the point where they may destroy in centive. A war situation, how ever, would boom per capita production. “Business earnings have passed their peak. “Agriculture will stimulate pro duction through heavier plantings and better farming. The income Of th* farmer will be maintained at % MHUMfYeL “Interest rates will rise, though not sharply. “Construction of new homes will decline rather drastically. “Automobile production will be curtailed. “The cost of living will con- tinue to rise. more controls, and ISwem x&vehtories. Watch particularly shoddy or synthetic inventories. Poor qual ity products will be a drug on the market after the defense pro gram is completed. “Keep all equipment in excel lent shape. Be more cautious alxmt plant expansion, irrespec tive oplhe tax amortization law. Overhead will be an important V factor later on. Do all possible to keep It down. “Be sure to anticipate increas ed taxes not only In the year's ‘ balance sheet because of any re troactive feature but in its im pact on operating cash position. “Maintain a strong sales and credit department. These will be badly needed later on. “Continue to improsve products and services. “Don't make the mistake of selling only to gilt-edge credit risks. Develop better credit ; worthiness with marginal custo mers through guidance, sound counsel and advice. Marginal customers today may mean the difference between a profit and v loss tomorrow. “Fanning soil should be im- proved. This is the time to do it. The day of subsidy may soon come to an end. Modernize farms. *|pj£eep equipment in top shape. Continue diversification to avoid V feast and famine program. - “Make farms so attractive that * children will want to stay at home. ’ They will be needed on the farms, and will be indepen dent in their own right as farm- ;f|? era. ... “Land values are high. Don’t ‘/ •peculate at this point in land " values. . Labor should do a good day’s work. It will help check infla- f. tion, and make everybody hap- ; ’ pier. Labor helped give America its high standard of living. That good work should continue. The dividends are higher wages. ' “Union members should take >v an active part in the union’s af- * fairs, and never forget that they and their fellow workers are the union. V - “Woikers must realize that they suffer from inflation. It doesn't do any good to get a fat pay check that buys less and less of what a family needs. v ‘ “Folks should not allow the politicians to spend the money they pay in taxes. They earnejl . it. All should insist on how the funds should be spent. “Every year there is an elec tion. The right to vote is scared. Fplks should cherish It. Vote at every election whether it be a. local municipal matter, club or ' #» <• Miss Mattie Adams, 70, died Tuesday morning at the Newberry County Memorial Hospital after a long illness.

After a 100-mile concert tour of Georgia in December, the Pres byterian College Choir is resum ing its series of Sunday appear ances in South Carolina by sing ing next Sunday, January 7, at 11:30 P.M. in the Aveleigh Pres byterian Church. The same even ing at 7:30 P.M. the same group of singers,* in black robes and royal blue stoles, give a con cert at fhe Purity Presbyterian Church, Cheater. Dr. Patte has selected fourteen choral pieces that truly repre sent the most authentic sacred music of the various branches of Christendom. We note, in the group of unusual pieces, a sub dued and mystic “Gloria Patri," by Palestrina, also an impress ively flowing organ-like Russian anthem, as sung in the Kiev Mon astery, and the 97th Psalm, in a version found in the Genevan Psalter of 1562, as it was then interperted in Geneva’s St. Peter Cathedral, under John Calvin, during the early Reformation. Among the Negro Spiritual that are part of the program, the conductor has chosen four com positions that typify the various moods of the native and genuine faith of the Negro. One of these spirituals, “Didn't my Lord de liver Danile,’’ very rarely given in concert programs and intense ly soul-stirring, is a genuine ex ample of the old Plantation songs. The whole program, centered around the Lord’s Prayer, is both a musical event and a spirit ual message. Among the twenty-eight per formers, let us mention Sidney Denham, a junior at the College and member of the American Guild of organists, is at the organ. Readers are Sidney Max well, of Clinton, S. C. and Jim Robinson of Atlanta, Ga. In its conductor. Dr. Edouard Patte, the choir has a talented and versatile leader. A native of Switzerland, he pursued advanced studies in music add in the ology In several leading post graduate schools of Europe and Was called to the College Faculty ^ in MI47 to head the Department ^"‘Sociology. „ Soon after his ar- be undertook • to develop what has become one of hte best trained male choirs in the Col leges of the Southeastern States.

Slash Seen In Home Building WASHINGTON, Jan. 1— The National Production Authority es timated today that home builders will slash output 50 percent this year with construction totaling about 600,000 new apartments and houses. The government’s housing goal for 1951 is 850,000 units. But the NPA report tended to discount the possibility that this figure ill be reached, although the! ’arget has not been officially .'hanged. NAP drew up its estimates on the basis of consultations with re presentatives of the construction and building materials Industries. It said the report does not con stitute an official forecast With this In mind, the agency declared that “one fourth less pri vate construction. work can be ex pected in 1951.” . . It explained that while home building may be halved in the new year defense and industrial construction, will tend to bolster building activities during the next 12 months. , Approximately 15 billion, 20 million dollars worth of private ly-financed construction is anti cipated as compared with 20 bil lion, 490 million estimated to have been completed in 1960. The report noted that public ly-financed outlays may increase 970 million dollars to a level of seven billion, 480 millions, as re sult of defense housing and other military construction. During the year, NPA said builders hope to start new hous ing units worth five billion 600 mlllons as compared with 11 bil lion 276 miRiohs In the record I960 year. Sharp la|Mj|jpe are expected In industrial construction, warehous es, offices and loft btUldiilgs. schools, farm dwellings and ser vice building and in 'the gifts and electric power fields, "'-..vir.
