Robert Cummings, meanwhile, who was so completely lost in a bird- brain show called “My Hero,” has come back in a hilarious program far more worthy of his talents . . . Stars these days no longer wait for the sponsor to drop mat ters . . . They seem to take more artistic pride in their work and if the show doesn’t measure up at the outset they bow out and wait for something more to their liking, which is a healthy sign in television . . . Now if only Charles Farrell would retire to his millions the air- lanes would be free of “My Little Margie,” a real monstrosity if ever there was one.

C. 33-tfc EEVE L OTS of folks make a hobby of keeping their ears tuned to high frequency so they can discover what other people are griping about and then hop on the bandwagon— whether they have a personal in terest in the situation or not. What I am about to say probably puts me in that category for the moment, since I am not a dyed-in- the-easy-chair television fan. The fact that I am even less a critic probably makes it worse, but the column must be written. I have long sympathized with the problems of the television industry as it worked its way to the “one in every home” stage while critics, reviewers and just plain people spread the word near and far that the majority of TV presentations were unfit for human consumption and televisionitis was sure to de stroy the intellect, vision and mo rale of the new generation. The industry weathered this storm in fine fashion, is now bat tling the criticism being leveled against commercials, the very , thing that keeps TV going. Me— I’m realistic—if you have enter tainment someone must foot the bill. If a sponsor pays for a mil lion dollar show, he intends to put in his two cents about the product that he has to sell, whether or not everybody traipses off to the kit chen for a drink of water. My first gripe with commercials (I do watch them) is that most are too long. My second gripe: too many programs, instead of giving a preview of next week’s show, are now slipping in a preview of next week’s commercial. I know they are trying to catch some water drinker unprepared— but don’t think they are fooling anvbodv. For Export Ropalr ferlng Your Radio and Tolovlolon GEO. N. MARTIN Radio and Talavitloo •ALES and SERVICE “ 1309 MAIN STREET *4 HOUR SERVICE Tolophono SI-1 - From J. L. Van Norman, Lake Charles, Louisiana: I remember when I was a Keen age boy and lived 10 miles from market which was at Clinton, Louisiana. We went to market twice a year in an ox wagon. We would leave before daybreak and get back late at night. I plowed the oxen during the week .and let them graze on Saturdays and Sundays. When we could find them we went\to church in the ox wagon. Otherwise, we tied our shoes together and walked three miles. When we got there we brushed the £irt from our shoes with a pine brush, put them on. Usually the women went in and the men stgyed outside until the preacher called service. Then they all went in. Negroes and whites attended this same church . . . there was also another church down' the road. Each had service once a month, so that gave us a chance to attend each of themi • • • From Jee Vire, MmticeBe, Ken tucky; Let’s turn back memory's pages 70-odd years'. . . «the family hr gathered around the fireside . . . Father takes the Bible and reads the 23 Psalm and then oh bended knees thanks Our Reavenly Father for all the blessings of life and asks for his care and keeping through the shades of night.

TURNER, Jeweler f»HONC 411 Ax Legislation is generally a slow process, but when you are vitally interested in certain bills, Jt seems even slower than usual. However, during the past week I have been encouraged with the action taken on at least two bills in which I believe South Caro linians have a great interest. One of these bills, H. R. 1, the Recip rocal Trade Bill, which affects the tariff on textile end other products manufactured in South Carolina, received the approval of the Senate Finance Committee. H. R. 1, the Reciprocal Trade Bill, was reported out of the Se nate Finance Committee with few amendments to the version ap^ proved by the House. There are claims on the part of some oppon ents of changes in the measure that it has been amended too much. But I feel differently. Although I believe that trade between the nations of the free world should he as unrestricted as possible, I also believe 'that our American workers, such as the textile employees of South Caro lina, deserve adequate protection against products made by low- paid workers In other countries. Because the GATT conference, now meeting in Geneva, Switzer land, is expected to reduce tariffs td an unknown extent under the -present trade agrsement, I feel that the products on the list at Geneva should not be subject to further outs under the provision of H. R. 1, I am happy to be able to say that the Senate Finance Commit tee approved the suggestions which I presented to it, on behalf o'f myself and 16 other Senators. While we Could not get abeolute protection against possible cuts at Geneva, the Finance Committee did see fit to remove the special exemption for Japan and the M neg ligible quantity” clause. The Com mittee also provided that Hems on the Geneva list should not be re duced again during the next three That Is the time covered by authority granted the Presi dent in H. R. 1. Although there is strong oppo sidon to these amendments to H. R. 1, it Is my hope that, 'when finally approved, the bill will have these safeguards ip it. At least, the action of the Finance Commit tee strengthens that objective. The other measure to which I refer is the bill in which 1 joined with Senator Russell of Georgia and others in introducing for the purpose of allowing farmers to plant substitute crops when nat ural disasters wipe out their main crop. Of Course this bill was In troduced because of'the destruc tive freeze which hit South Caro lina grains, vegetables and peaches, as well as the crops of other states. I was disappointed that the Ag riculture Department made a rec ommendation against this bill and I said so on the floor of the Se-, mate when the bill was finally passed on April 26 by an over whelming vote. The Agriculture Department said the bill wOuld.be hard to admini ster, that it would be expensive to administer and that it would set a “dangerous precedent.” But I took the position that emergency situations require em ergency measures. I believe there will be enough people already em ployed in the various state under the Agriculture Department to dO the work of approving additional allotments of crops and that some additional expense would be justi- fleld If it served the purpose of aiding farmers who had lost their entire inpome because of a natur al disaster such as a killing'freeze. There seems to me little argu ment on the side of precedent be cause the bill specifically applies, only to emergencies and the Sec retary of Agriculture would be the one with authority to decide when such an emergency existed. It is now up ito the House to act on the bill and I hope that ap proval will be given soon. Clears Right Of Way To New Steam Plant Clarence B. Metis, who has been with the right-of-way department of the South Carolina Electric and Gas company since October first, and his crew of 70 employees, are clearing a new 150 foot width right of way high power trans mission line from Cplumbia to the new Urquhart steam plant near Augusta. His crew has also been doing some right-of»way work for .the company in the Or angeburg vicinity. When the Col umbia-Urquhart job is completed Mr. Metts and his crew will also clear a new rightof-wtay high pow- * er transmission line from Urqu hart to Stephens Creek dam in Georgia.

Funeral services were conduct ed Sunday afternoon in Harolson, Georgia and interment followed in the family plot where her late husband was buried: YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY Families of individuals who died before September 1, 1950, may be eligible for monthly social secur ity insurance payments now. This provision of the 1964 Amendments to the Social Security Act applies if the worker died after July 1st 1940, and before September let, 1950,. even though the family’s or iginal claim for survivors bene fits was denied. Recent changes make it possible to provide an insured ata der the law in such case* it th» worker had at least six quarters of coverage at the time of his death. This special,, pro’ however, wRl affect only monthly benefit claims. Survivors who might qualify for these, monthly payments are wid ows who are 65 or older, children who are not yet 18, and, in case the worker left no widow or child ren, parents who were receiving at least one-half of their support from the deceased when he died.
