PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, SEPT. 18, 1968 1218 Coller* Street NEWBERRY, S. C. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY 0. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937 at the Postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR How about beefsteak, or bread or soap or clothing, or Just anything: is it the same price as ten years ago? Now, then, how about automobiles and tires? And taxes! My word; do you pay the same taxes today that you paid fifteen years ago? Well, there is something that seems to get cheaper and more dependable. Can you guess what it is? Look over your old accounts and one item is cheaper today than it was even in 1939. How can it be? Wages higher, all items in construction higher; their taxes much higher. Can you guess what it is that you use every day and every night and which is cheaper now even with all other items of your living costing much more ? “While scientists and engineers labor mightily to produce economic electricity from the glamorous atom, a number of U. S. utilities quietly are preparing a shot in the arm for ‘old-fashioned’ power generating systems fueled by such commonplace combustibles as coal, gas and oil. This involves that old standby, steam—^basically the same kind of feathery vapor that rises from a tea kettle. Only this is steam with a difference. It’s a hard-to-manage va por that’s been superheated by the so-called fossil fuels to five or more times the boiling point of water, to tempera tures some 20 to 30 percent higher than those found in most existing steam generating plants. The commercial harness ing of this hot steam—already accomplished by one utility in a prototype plant—holds the promise of cheaper power production eventually. And such savings are likely to be re flected in future industrial and residential electricity bills. Some 79 percent of all U. S. electricity now is generated by steam plants. Essentially, these plants burn coal, oil, or gas turn water into steam. The steam, under high pressure, is directed against the blades of a turbine which, in turn, runs an electric generator. The principle behind the hot steam hypo basically is this: As steam gets hotter, the pressure it exerts mounts and more work results in a turbogenerator before the steam be comes spent. To reach higher steam temperatures, steam is reheated at various points in the process. Although this uses slightly more fuel, the resulting extra work more than offsets the added energy needed to produce it. Thus, in a hot steam system more electricity can be produced from a' pound of fuel than can be generated in a lower-temperature system.” What I see is this: the power companies have been con stantly studying, experimenting, and heavily investing hundreds of millions of dollars every year to hold down the cost of producing power although every item of their ex pense has gone up enormously. Now you can answer. The outstanding bargain of the day is electric power in the United States. Behold the modern miracle: with wages, taxes, wire, coal, machinery—all higher, yet the price to us is lower! Many changes come in the whirligig of time. A genera tion ago the textile industry flourished in the New England States. It seemed to be entrenched there. The South, in comparative poverty, produced the cotton, shipping the fleecy staple North. Today the textile industry is centered in South Carolina and North Carolina and several hundred thousand men and women of the South receive the wages. A generation ago the textile industry was protected by a high tariff which operated against imports of textiles from England, France, Germany and Japan. Today the South has the textiles but everything seems to operate in favor of the Japanese. And there is much more to be said: our Gov ernment has rebuilt the Japanese textile industry with the most modern machinery; sells them cotton for less than cotton costs the Southern mills and probably allows favor able credits. In the meantime a Southern mill paying, let us say, a dollar an hour must compete with Japanese labor costing a third as much. South Carolina is vitally interested in the prosperity of all our textile enterprises; they are bread and meat to us now and cry aloud for more consideration. V .“^An array of witnesses from the cotton and woolen manu- -facturii*/? industries, and spokesmen for textile machinery producers testified at the beginnning of three days of public hearings by the subcommittee, headed by Sen. John O. Pastore. The Rhode Island Democrat opened the session by saying the subcommittee wants to study the role various govern ment programs have played in the decline of the textile in dustry and to see if new ‘overall’ policies will bring back growth and stability. Outlining' the broad areas in which textile production is ‘uniquely sensitive’ to government policies, Halbert M. Jones, head of Waverly Mills, and president of the American Cotton Manufacturers Institute, made these points: The government, as a result of cotton price supports, has created a two-price system for raw cotton—allowing foreign mills to buy American fiber 6-8 cents per pound cheaper than U. S. mills—yet it limits cotton import to 1 per cent of U. S. consumption. The combined effect of these policies, Mr. Jones said, has been the loss of U. S. textile export markets and increased competition in the home market from both imported cotton fabrics and domestically produced synthetics. The government, through its foreign aid program, has, introduced or expanded foreign textile industries. This has accelerated the loss of U. S.- textile markets abroad and in creased competition at home.” • * “President Eisenhower signed, without comment, a con troversial auto labeling bill. Under the new T law, every car manufacturer or importer is required to attach to the window of each new auto, includ ing station wagons, prior to delivery to any dealer a label bearing this information: The make, model and serial number; final assembly point; name and location of the dealer and place of delivery; means of delivery if driven or towed from final assembly point; suggested retail delivered price of each optional accessory attached; the amount charged to the dealer for delivery, and the total of all these sums.* Opposition to the bill came from used car dealers and the Justice Department, which warned that the measure might be construed as price fixing. Sen. Monroney (D., Okla.), the bill’s author, however, asserted it was only a price information measure to help customers know what they were being charged. Proponents of the bill included the major auto makers and the National Automobile Dealers Association. Fines of $1,000 a car are provided for any maker who wilfully fails to attach the label, plus $1,000 for failure* by a maker to endorse it legibly. Any person who removed or altered a label prior to delivery, except where a maker re routes or rebuys the car, would be subject to A fine of up to $1,000 and»or one year in prison. The act will take effect the first day of introduction of any new model this year.” Here’s something I’ve run across: “It may be of interest to mention here that the modern English word ‘Hebrew’ is a modern English word invented to denote and designate the ancient so-called ‘Semitic’ lan guage spoken by the ancient Canaanites at the time Joshua and 600,000 Hebrew exiles invaded Canaan about 1200 B.C. After wandering in the Sinai desert for 40 years as impov erished and derelict nomads searching for a more promising region in which to settle permanently, Joshua and 600,000 Hebrews invaded Canaan and settled there after a long and bitter war for 200 years against the Canaanites who had done nothing to provoke the invasion or conquest. After living a primative existence in the Sinai desert for 40 years, Joshua and the 600,000 Hebrew exiles lost much of the culture and many of the customs they took with them when they departed from Egypt. They retained a very lim ited Hebrew vocabulary but no written form for the lan guage they then spoke. At this period in history the He brew language used hieroglyphic pictures and cuneiform characters with which they preserved for posterity perma nent records of their spoken language. Canaan was not very far to the North of the Sinai desert where Joshua and 600,000 Hebrew exiles wandered for 40 years. At that period in history Canaan was the wealthiest so-called ‘Semite’ nation in the vast Middle East region and enjoyed the most highly developed culture of all the so-call ed ‘Semite’ nations. The Canaanites possessed a language with the most extensive vocabulary of all so-called ‘Semitic’ languages with one of the world’s early modern alphabets, a modified form of the Assyrian alphabet, the first-born of modern alphabets at the dawn of civilization. After the conquest of Canaan, Joshua and the 600,000 He brew exiles quickly mastered the extensive vocabulary of the Canaanite language and made it their new language known since as the so-called ‘Hebrew’ language. Joshua and the 600,000 Hebrew exiles also quickly mastered the Ca naanite alphabet and made it their alphabet, the first writ ten form for any language ever spoken by them and known now as the so-called ‘Hebrew’ alphabet, since then the only language and alphabet by that name. Any reference today to a so-called ‘Hebrew* language is in fact a modern reference to the ancient so-called ‘Semitic’ language then spoken by Canaanites, and any reference to day to a so-called ‘Hebrew’ alphabet is in fact a reference to the ancient so-called ‘Semitic’ alphabet of the ancient Ca naanites for centuries prior to the conquest of Canaan by Joshua about 1200 B. C. notwitihstah'din^ arimid-tlfe-clock brainwashing to the contrary by the hatemongers’ brain washing apparatus for obvious reasons.; the game of giving new names to old products to fool the ptlbKc! ' ' / The first mention of the won! ‘hebrew’ in the English modern translation of the Old Testament is the mention there of Abraham for the first time as a so-called ‘Hebrew*. In the ancient Old Testament original scrolls Abraham is mentioned as ‘Abram ibrai’ in the same verse he is mention ed as a so-called ‘Hebrew’ in the English modern transla tions. The world’s greatest Scriptural authorities among philologists and etymologists, and eminent theologians and historians, translate the ancient so-called ‘Semitic’ term ‘Azram ibrai’ as ‘Abraham the immigrant,’ their authentic translation.” “This newspaper has recently published two neWs reports on how easy money has brought a great many people finan cial hardships. One dealt with the sharp increase in mortage foreclosures on homes financed by V. A. loans; in the past five months alone they totaled 41,000. The other was a report that in the past twelve months some 90,000 persons and businesses have filed as bankrupts in the Federal courts, an increase of 23 per cent over the previous year. In the unhappy case histories recounted in these stories there was one common theme. It was reflected in the case of Mr. W., a tool cutter, tempted by the ease of borrowing dur ing the recent boom into piling up $7,000 in debts.

BIRTHS 15$ THUROW Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Ray Thu- row ,Apt. Bl-4, Carol Courts, an nounce the birth of a seven pound, 12 ounce son, Samuel Gordon, on September 10 at Newberry Hos pital.

Clarence Melton Ellis of Sum ter and Mary Cynthia Smith of Union, were married on September 14th at Whitmire by Rev. Charles E. Hood Jr. and the new car (he owed $117 for gasoline alone), there was no course but bankruptcy for himself and losses for his cred itors. Now it might be comforting for the rest of us if we could simply dismiss Mr. W. as an exceptionally imprudent man. But it is not so simple to dismiss all his 41,000 fellows who lost their homes and the 91,000 who went completely bank rupt. And the saddests part of it is that he - and they -were encouraged in imprudence. Indeed,the government of the United States almost thrust imprudence upon them. It is rather hard to single out poor Mr. W., to blame him for buying too much on time when the heads of businesses were, not so long ago, urging him to buy more and more on time and complaining because loans for consumer debt weren’t easy enough. Or when presumably intelligent econo mists were going the businessmen one better , saying that more debt by the Mr. W’s was just the right medicine for the economy. Why should anyone be surprised, for example, to discover that a good many people have over-mortgaged themselves to buy homes beyond their means ? For years the policy of the Federal Government has been to make mortgage money available on artificially easy terms; in the case of V. A. loans there was often no down payment at all. This kind of loose financing was an official invitation to personal disaster. But it’s no tribute to the politicians who promised good times through inflation and made a good many people learn the hard way. Prosperity News MRS. B. T.
