It is dan gerous, we know, and its effects are most devastating on the seg ment of population least able to help themselves, our children. There is a respectable body of scientific opinion that holds that, unless the tests are ended, the human race may shrivel and die on the vine. Whether this view is right or wrong, and regardless of the impossibility of any binding agreement with the Communists on this or any other subect, the very fact of our attempts at nego tiation on nuclear testing is a recognition of our inherent respon- sibilties to the next generation. If we are successful in prevent ing damage to our future genera tions from this fall-out, we will witness a growth in population during the next generation that will permanently change the Un ited States for better or worse. Increased population alone does not mean that automatically there will be a general increase in pros perity and a higher standard of living for everyone. If this were true, the over-populated areas like China and India would be the rich est instead of the poorest coun tries in the world. In the traditional operation of our free enterprise system, the United States could take these in creased millions of people in its normal industrial' stride, but, un fortunately, American industry no longer operates in the traditional orbit of free enterprise. Its productive processes are mow fouled up wdth senseless govern mental regulations, while its nat ural organs of growth are all but completely sterilized by the bane ful mixture of confiscatory taxes and a ruinous progressive inflation of the currency. Throughout a lon^ s^gcessful history, the American system of free competitive ep^erp^fse has been dynamic. Like/ f^he^millions who have worked in it^lived on its profits and consumed its pro ducts, this great diversification of industrial plant has always car ried its own self-propelled organ isms for continuous regeneration and necessary" growtlr."'" • - The whole broad dustry, constantly seeded itself out of reserved profits and investment of individual savings^ Industrial research, replacement^ and plant development were tkus expanded to keep pace with the ever-growing populatipn of the' country. The explosive growth of our population will make immeasur able demand upon Annerican indu- try for new jobs and' more prod ucts. If necessary jobs are to be made and our standard of living- maintained, this population growth between now and 1975 will require some 500 billion dollars worth of new investment in diversified pri vately-owned enterprise. Under present tax and spending policies of our state and federal govei’nments, this necessary re generation plow-back is impos sible. The average $4,500 a year man works two and a half hours each 8-hour day to pay- his taxes, which is more than he spends for any r other major item of living ex penses. This man will have noth ing left for savings or investment.

The long-suffering worm will then turn vengefully- upon the politi cians who sowed the inflationary whirlwind. i We can only hope that this turn ing point w-ill come in time to save the country- from the strait-jacket of Socialistic tyranny. Concerning the future, remem ber that all-favorable prediction is precarious. The sure things are all / bad. ‘Tn this world, nothing is cer tain but death and taxes.” When Benjamin. 'Franklin made that statement, he was hale and hearty and by- our standards, taxes were virtually non-existent. One year from that day, 5' *anKlin was dead. In the absti-act, it is easy to philosophize upon the moi-tality of men and nations—but when im pending death heads our way, the view becomes disquieting. By the same token, no patriotic American wants to witness the final destruc tion of his country-. It is relative ly easy- to fight for the life of your country- in wartime. The peacetime fighter runs the risk of being ridiculed and reviled. While we are enjoy-ing our trust of freedom, we are alway-s under the grave obligation to protect the corpus of the trust for those who will, we hope, live after us. Dean Clarence E.

Newberry County Bank It is probably too early to draw definite, conclusions, but it appears more than a little significant that since California enacted a “no limit” law, that the federally computed cost of living index shows consumer food prices on a downward trend. * * * About mid year the Cali fornia Legis lature, fol lowing a long establis hed Texas cus tom, passed a law making it illegal for anybody to limit quanti- c. W. Harder ties of the sale priced mer chandise any one purchaser could buy. * * * It had long been the custom, principally by chains, to offer items far below the wholesale cost to induce people to come into the store. But to minimize their losses, it was always stated a customer could only buy one or two of the items. * * * But that is changed now. Under the law, if a retailer offers merchandise below the wholesale cost, his competitor down the street can drive up with a truck and buy out the entire stock for supplying his stores, and it is illegal to try and stop him from doing so. Thus, at least in Texas, and now California, a lot of fool- ishiness has been stopped. * * * Under the old system, in the ory, the store would make up what it lost on these below cost leaders by marketing up higher fci National Frrleratinn of Independent Business other goods which presumably the “hot special” buyers would purchase while in the store. * * * This worked out to be as fal lacious as the theory that the more government spends, the more money there is in circu lation, hence the greater the prosperity. Shoppers attracted to the stores on “hot specials” are usually price conscious, and determine quite readily whether other goods they in tend to buy is higher than available some place else. The result was, as fishermen say “they weren’t getting their bait back.” * * * So, in order to make up for these losses, it was necessary to keep raising higher and high er the markups on non-special items. And like a dog chasing his tail, this resulted in an endless circle with retail food prices always inching upward. * * * But the passage, of this new law seems to have reversed this trend, with price tags be ing changed along the shelves. While there is a dearth of “hot specials,” there is also a lack of fantastically high mark ups on other items to try and make up losses bn the specials. * * * The passage of the law- also seems to have another affect. * * * Instead of trying to fool the buying public, the accent on staff training now is being placed on quality, courtesy, service, and fair pricing. And as already indicated, it ap pears that the Calfornia con sumer, after at least twenty years of unwittingly financing abortive jungle warfare in food retailing, is benefitting in the purse. Old Tat/ew beta} restored ae CMc Center tn Camden Newberry, South Carolina Joanna, South Carolina Pictured above is the historic “Price Building,’’ a 125-year old structure which reportedly served as a tavern in 1838, when such establishments were im portant forums where a com munity’s leaders usually met. The building recently was pur chased by Camden citizens who plan to restore it for civic pur poses. Unique construction fea tures include exterior walls of hard Charleston brick and in teriors adorned with handsome woodwork and mantels. When renovation is complete, the building will overlook a garden on a large landscaped lot. In South Carolina today, beer is linked more and more to the state’s economy and way of life. Revenue from this beverage of moderation plays an important part in helping the state pro vide funds for schools and other worthy purposes. Counties and cities also use their share of this revenue for many worthwhile causes. And the United States Brewers Association continu ously works for wholesome con ditions wherever beer and ale are served. Beer Belongs ... enjoy it.
