COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS BY SPECTATOR We are combatting what we call inflation by tightening the control of money; and we tighten the control of money by increasing the rate of interest? Does it “freeze” credit? Or does it result in such a “scare” that everyone fears to venture? Is it not true thatmost business is done on credit? If we restrict credit don’t we restrrict business? If we re strict business does that bring about unemployment? Does unemployment curtail the buying power of the wage-earner? Does that, in turn reduce demand for goods and services? Up to this time our attack on so-called inflation has been by advancing intereest rates and sharply scrutinizing ap plications for loans, becoming even discouraging to business ventures, unless they appear to be planned or built on the impregnable rock of relative certainty. While we hold the line on loans to productive enterprise what are we doing about individual merchandise credit? Let me quote a letter received by a citizen of this State from a large department store of the North: “Here I am with all this credit—just like money in the bank. It belongs to you and I just can’t believe you aren’t going to use it! Just this morning our Budget Councelor called me and asked if I had heard from you since we set up your Credit Trust Fund and sent your catalog. When I told him we hadn’t he said I should write again and make it clear to you that your first credit order is an “On Trial”, order for us. We are the ones on trial and you are in no way obligated to keep your purchase if you aren’t satisfied—nor do we expect you to keep using your Credit Trust Fund if you don’t find our service convenient. So put us “On Trial”. Place a “Trial Order”. For any thing in the big catalog we sent you. Things for yourself? Perhaps a suit, the one you’ve put off for so long ... or even a whole new fashion-right wardrobe is possible. Our prices are so low, and your Budget Power Plan means just a small down payment each month instead of all at once! Things for the family? Of course, the children come first and the things they need. Those extra pairs of shoes to young feet . . . the party dress Sis has been hoping for. And though Dad never mentions it ... he has be^n wanting a new sports outfit! Well, you needn’t decide which to get FIRST. Use your whole Credit Trust Fund right now. , Things for the House? Imagine YOUR kitchen with a new mixer. The latest model with all the newest attachments! Or perhaps new casement windows togive the house a fresh, modern look. Or a power mower, so the lawn won’t get ahead of you! There’s no end to the things you can have, now, to make living richer and easier. Choose your own monthly payment—it is governed by the size of your purchase, and the minimum is $5.00. Use any or all of your Fund right now. Some people, I know, have a reluctance about ‘going into debt/ but the Insurance we sent you makes it possible for you to use the Credit at your command with complete peace of mind—so I can’t believe this is the reason you haven’t used your Fund. We made this protection part of the Budget Power Plan because we want you to keep on buying as long as you desire, without worry about going into debt. Should death take the wage earner in your family, the Insurance Com pany pays any balance on the Account .... up to $1000; and pays an equal amount in cash for Accidental death. There are also specified cash benefits for the loss of eye sight or limb. The boss and I both have our heart and soul in our Bud get Power Plan . . . probably because we’ve seen how many families have been able to enjoy better living through the sensible use of their Credit Trust Fund. Feeling as we do, it would surely make us happy to see an order come in from yop on our Budget Power Plan. You’ll find full information on the inside back cover page of our catalog.

When the great South Car olina Electric and Gas Company sells bonds for construct ion, a business employing eighteen hundred citizens and serving many thousands at lower rates than were charged fifteen years ago, that Company pays two hundred thou sand dollars more in interest on one issue than it paid just i wo years ago. ? And yet thousands of lending agencies advertise exten sively every day that you can borrow up to $1,000 on your signature alone!! If the construction, for it is that—which today afflicts us is a sane effort to assure a normal and healthy econ omy how do we reconcile all this? Are we treating symptoms competently, or, have we failed both in diagnosis as well as treatment? Atomic power, nuclear power, is a very live question. Many businessmen of vision are studying and planning for the day of Atomic Power. Among others three big Electric Power Companies of the South have formed a special orgin- ization to study atomic power—The Virginia Electric Com pany, The Duke Powejr Company, and our own South Car olina Electric and Gas Company. So I offer some excerpts about Atomic Power by Dr. D. Nabow, a North Carolina Physicist: “By for the most obvious and substantial use of nuclear energy is as a substitute fuel for the production of elect ric energy. In 1955 the electric utility industry used about 17% of the tatal energy consumed in the United States and this percentage is expected to go up to 28% in 1975. However, for this purpose, nuclear fuel has no basis pre mium value, since the K. W. hr. produced in a nuclear plant has no more value to you as a consumer than the K. W. H. generated in a coal fired steam plant or in a water power plant. Therefore nuclear fuel must first acheive compar able levels of safety and dependability and then must com pete, on cost per unit of energy output, with available con ventional fuels. Here again there is a basis logic in the trends of develop ment. Because of the comparative abundance of conventional fuels for the immediate future in the United States, we have time to investigate more completely the highly complex echnical and economic problems involved. The intoxicating early optimism has given way to sober second thoughts. Experience to date has shown that the technical problems are more complicated and the costs are higher than had been anticipated.” Hon. Harold W. Handley, Governor of Indiana is quoted as saying: “We in Indiana are so thoroughly convinced of the wisdom of our course that we have now challenged the public power lobby as it makes an overt move to invade the rich indust rial area east of the Mississippi River. The REA has before it a proposed unprecedentedly large 42-million-dollar sub sidy to a few Indiana Rural Electric Membership proups to put them into the power generating business in a state already more than adequately supplied with reasonably priced electric power. It also would enable them to duplicate existing service lines of private utilities which are providing sufficient service throughout the state. This REA loan would be made at 2% although the federal government would be compelled to pay 4% to get the money! It would thus subsidize with public funds an unfair compet ition with private utilities which are now on the federal tax rolls, like any other business enterprise. We in Indiana egard this as fantastic and unreasonable, paternalism. We are resisting it with all of the weight and prestige of the government of the state of Indiana. And if we should fail, I predict that the federal government would then move quickly to estblish the same subsidies in all other stats, and that America would wake up some morning and find its entire electric industry nationalized. After that, where would nationalization end ?” Hospital Patients Ernest J. Adams, 1616 First St. Mrs. Doris A. Bush, Rt. 1, Cha pin. Mrs. Rebecca Bedenbaugh, Rt. 1, Saluda.

WHITAKER FUNERAL HOME AMBULANCE PHONE 270 Thursday, November 21, 1957 FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Ciemson Extension Information Specialist * FARMS AND FOLKS NEW PESTS As new crops come, new pests appear. These pests are not always new in the true sense, but adapt themselves to new crops that be come generally planted. A typical case of this is with soybeans. I well recall, as county agent 30 to 40 years ago, when this crop was just being intro duced. Common insect pests didn’t seem to bother it then. Only the armyworm would occasionally dam age a field of it. Along through the years, soy beans have gained in favor. This has been very rapid in recent years, since the breeders have given us high-yielding, nonshatt ering strains suited to this area. And now some counties have sev eral times the acreage of soys they do of cotton. As bugs find soybeans on so many of the fields where they used to feed on other crops, they sometimes adapt themselves to* the soybean too. And, thus, insects never before considered a pest on this crop become of prime im portance. For instance, I never heard of the old Mexican bean beetle, that ruins your snap and butter- beans, as being a pest on soybeans before. But this year the agents in all parts of the state listed it as a major pest that had to be fought on soys. Likewise the corn-earworm did not bother soys early. But a few years ago it started insidiously slipping in lush bean fields and eating the tender beans out of the pod. And soon the farmer, waked up to the fact that he had only forage there, on beans. So now the county agents teach their farmers now to detect this pest early, when it can be con trolled in time. And now the common old cab bage looper, or measuring worm, has taken to soys too, and has to be dealt with, as has the blister beetle. So, all of this must leave the k 1 saw county agents wet to the knees examining lush bean fields over their counties in early Aug ust looking for the first elusive signs of these pests in soybean fields. And, finding them, they then went on the air, in the papers, and out through circular letters to their growers, giving the sit uation and the remedy. The farmer can’t slumber now. There’s al ways something new. mm ■ - ii i This is one year the coming of frost was eagerly welcomed. For it marks the end of the screw- worm scrouge that has plagued us this time. Starting early in the summer, this pest built up such numbers as to reach epidemic form by late summer and fall. Back in August County Agent McCord of Georgetown told me: “Screwworms have shown up in horses, cattle, hogs, and are a serious problem in the deer pop ulation. One man said he count ed 25 deer with screwworms and several others affected in a small area he saw in one day.” i This insect does not normally live through the winter here. But due to the mild winter, it likely lived over further north than usual Florida or south GeOr gia and thereby arrived here earlier too. ThAt gave it time to build up extra generations before frost this fall and much damage was done to game and livestock. A fascinating attempt to erad icate this pest from the mainland is being tried. It worked on an, island off Florida. It consists' of raising male flies by the millions, exposing them to special rays so as to destroy their 'fertility, and then turning them loose over their limited wintering areas far ther south. Females bred to these then lay only infertile eggs. The scientists have great hope this will work here as it did on that island. fanner, wondering, “What Next?’’street Mr. and Mrs. John G.
