tary should be forced to stop
spending money like it was going
out of style.
Most bureaucrats are “empire
builders”—the bigger their budget
and the more people they hayo
working for them, the more im
portant they are- Bureaus spread
like cancer, but they never die.
They just change their names.
The Wages of Peace
In 1954, when the Korean
War was on, Selective Service
employed 7,010 people, spent $27,-
657,190 and drafted 360,000 men.
Ne*t yeax#. Selective. Service
wants 7,3o6 employees, wants
$30,400,000 , but plans to draft
only 175,000. To wage peace, the
cost per draftee is twice as high.
Why? Maybe your congressman
can tell you.
Defense can’t be cut? The Hoov
er Commission says we can save
at least $600 million a year by
creating a civilian-managed Sup
ply and Services Administration
in the Defense Department. Dup
lication, jealousies and poor man
agement have thrown billions
doWn rat-holes in the holy name
of defense.
In the greatest “prosperity” in
the history of the world, from
1953 through 1957, we spent $13,
200,000,000 for Labor and Wel-
are programs! 17.5 million Am
ericans get 14 billion dollars of
assorted “ welfare,” and year by
year Social Security is being
broadened to make this total ever
bigger. „
$71.8 billion! If you had started
at Christ’s birth spending $100,-
000 a day, you’d still have over
$6 billion left. This is the largest
peacetime budget in the history of
the world—1,000 percent more
than it was in 1937. It’ll cost the
average American family $1,400
If you’re making $10,000 and
have a wife and two children you
pay 20 cents out of every dollar
for federal, state and local taxes.
Eighty-five percent of the tax
load is carried by the man who
makes $6,000 a year or less.
Our federal debt, $274 billion,
is larger than that of all the na
tions of the world put together.
Senator Byrd says the govern
ment is also committed to $260
billion more in various borrowing
programs which it stands behind.
Share and Share Alike
Your family’s share of the pres
ent $274 billion federal debt is
$7,000. It was $1,100 in 1937.
Who’s gonna pay it? You? Your
children? Their children? Let’s all
do our patriotic duty and our duty
to our children by writing our con^
gressmen.
The price of our dollar is going
down, down, down, and our gov
ernment will, too, unless the peo
ple rebel and throw the Spenders
out. Trying to get your arms
around today’s federal bureau
cracy is like trying to hug a
cloud.
One Small Voice
Spending is out of hand, beyond
the willingness or the ability of
the President and the Congress to
control it. It’s up to you. What
can one small voice do? Multiplied

Sixty years ago, high voltage
electricity was transmitted for
the first time over the longest line
then in use from Portman Shoals
on the Seneca River to the Ander
son area. Anderson then became
known as the “Electric City.”
Not far away, near Belton, is
High Shoals where three years
earlier electricity was generated
to supply Anderson with power.

OPEN FORUM
It is with great pleasure and
yet in the spirit of humility I
take this opportunity and means
to thank all of my friends for
their acknowledgement on this my
5Qth anniversary of living in
Newberry County. For your con
gratulations, your kind words and
deeds, your good wishes, your
thoughtfulness and many other
beautiful floral tributes, I am
deeply grateful.
I cannot permit this milestone
in my life to pass without express
ing to you that it is and was my
pleasure and privilege to be a
member of this fine community.
While it is true when I first came
here fifty years ago, it appeared
to me that I could hardly afford
to cast my life’s lot in Newberry,
but the longer I stayed, the num
erous friends I made, the more I
learned of the people over the
years, I found Newberry the ideal
place for me. And now after
these many, many years I am
most thankful for the hand that
guided me and bid me to stay
here, for the longer I remained
the better I liked it and Newberry
became an inspiration and home
to me.
And today, being convinced as
never before that I selected wise
ly and well, I feel very humble
and. unworthy of your tribute. I
want to express to one and all my
most sincere and heartfelt thanks

Mrs. James Cecil Scott of Green

Funeral services were held at

Bush River G.A.
Has Banquet
Bush River Girls Auxiliary had
its first banquet given under a
new program, that has been set
up for that organization for girls
in Baptist Churches of Reedy
River association, last week at
Bush River Baptist Church.
Formerly, G. A.’s from all
churches in the association have
been brought together in a ban
quet for mothers and daughters.
The Bush River G. A.’s included
the fathers in a Mother-Father-
Daughter banquet.
The theme was centered around
the star ideals of the organization
and the program topic was “Star
light.” The Fellowship Hall of
the church was decorated for the
occasion with spring flowers and
gold candles in star holders. The
G. A. emblem furnished the mo
tif and the G. A. colors of green,
gold and white were predominant
in the decorations.
Miss Claire Smith, president of
the Intermediate G. A.’s of Bush
River Chtirch, served as toast-
mistress; Patsy Ruth Senn gave a
toast to the mothers and dads and
Mrs. Wade Smith responded with
a toast to the girls. G. A. Star
Ideals were presented by five jun
ior girls. Tommie Ann Werts ren
dered a piano solo and Lincfa Sat-
terwhite spoke on the topic “Our
Radiant Stars.” Mrs. C. C. Wal
lace, president of the Woman’s
Missionary Society, spoke briefly
and Mrs. J. E. Smith, president of
Western Region of South Caro
lina W. M. U. brought the inspir
ational message of the evening.
The program ended with the bene-

May 20, 1957.
Last week I told you of those
pineapple ices at our country
drug store in the Stone Hills
the Dutch Fork on Saturda
afternoons. That ice came up
from Columbia on the
train. The great block was in a
large sack with sawdust all a-
round it.
Another delightful concoction
they made there was a vanilla
milk ice. A glass was filled
with hand-shaved ice, homemade
vanilla syrup added, and about
two spoonsful of condensed
milk added and stirred good.
From childhood those things
have stood out as tops in re
freshment in a hot afternoon.
And I often wondered if it was
just an illusion of childhood. To
find out, last summer I got a
canvas bag and wooden manL
With that I crushed some ice
cubes into a veritable .snow. I
put the vanilla flavored syrup I
had made in, and stirred in the
condensed milk. Then I reared
back on the front porch and ate
that slowly. It tasted about as
good as ever. And soon the
sweat stopped too, it was so
cooling. The rest of the family
joined me with it. And soon we
were making the syrup by the
quart. After working in the yard
awhile, we all get large glasses
of the “milk ice” of old and have
an old-time set-to there on the
porch.
