COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
We have grown into a great and mighty nation from
humble beginnings. We have grown faster and richer than
any other nation. We Americans have more than the peo
ple of any other country.
Why and how was our development accomplished? By the
action of the Government? The development of our great
country springs from individual effort, individual faith,
individual imagination, resolution, hardship and resource
fulness.
Shall we change all that? Shall we change from tax-pay
ers to tax-eaters? That is deserving of our calm, informed
thinking. We really need a strong dose of the fortitude of
the men and women of the early days of our national life.
Today we ask the Government to feed us and do a thousand
other things, while a few not only pay little to maintain
the Government but plan and plot ways to fleece the Gov
ernment, meaning to fleece those who pay taxes.
How far has the Government entered into our life? One
of the most common instances is based on the idea that
the Government is supreme and that the Congress, the Su
preme Court and the Executive Departments and Commis
sions have unlimited scope for their control of affairs.
I cited some time ago a statement in Congress that the
Nation having acted in certain matters the States were
thereby prohibited from acting in such cases. That is ex
actly wrong, although that has become virtually the ac
cepted law.
Recently I read that some Government Agency had re
buked a store in New York for somewhat extravagant ad
vertising claims.
Now I ask what lawful prerogative has the National C ,v-
ernment to meddle with newspaper advertising in h.^w
York?
By what lawful authority does Attorney General or
President Kennedy meddle with the affairs of Albany,
Georgia? A group of men from Alabama and some North
ern States have gone to Albany, Georgia, to bring pres
sure on that City. Why should not Albany, Georgia, and
the State of Georgia assert and maintain the dignity of
their position?
By the way, reports from the great city of New York
and our National Capital, Washington, indicate that both
the President and the Attorney General would find condi
tions so deplorable that all their time might profitably be
spent attending to lawlessness in those cities, instead of
making a grandstand play in little Albany,. Georgia!
The citizens of Albany are not a lawless group; they are
not oppressing anyone; nor do they threaten or oppress
any citizen. The shoe is on the other foot; men and women
from outside, cooperating with a few’ from Albany are try
ing to intimidate the authorities of little Albany. Now’ then!
There is something out of order in our American busi
ness. I have before me the statement of a rather small cor
poration of Pennsylvania. Note this: Sales in 1961 w r ere $46,-
493,466; sales in 1962 were $53,788,388, but the net in
come was $1,918,640 in 1961 though $1,784,572 in 1962. Do
ing more business and making less. Now wTio is losing that
difference? Those men and women w’ho have invested their
savings in that Company. That story of two periods of six
months—in 1961 and 1962—is the story of most American
business.
TAX NOTICE
The Tax Books will be open for the collection of 1962 taxes on and
after October 1, 1962.
The following is General Levy for all except special purposes:
There is an idea abroad in the land that it is a sin to
make a profit. The vast corporations are only the sum to
tal of the money invested by thousands of men and women.
Any great company which operates with billions is made
up of five hundred thousand stockholders, thousands of them
being our friends and neighbors in South Carolina.
When the Company makes a profit of millions it may
mean only a hundred dollars to many of those whose sav
ings made the Company.
One great difference between our country and other
countries is that we hav eno hard and fast distinctions
among our people. Whatever a rich man may have today
I his neighbor will try to get very soon. Nor are we ever re-
I signed to secondary positions. The high pay rates in this
country are due to our never-ending race to catch up with
cr neighbors. If my neighbor buys a new car all of us
w: 'i one, too. When the neighbor spends a thousand or ten
thousand dollars ebellishing his home all the ladies of the
neighborhood forthwith bring to bear on “hubbyy” all
the pressures of feminine wiles and strategy.
Our businessmen are constantly trying to produce articles
for less so as to sell in competition. How’ can we produce for
less, with wages and taxes and raw materials rising all the
time? We must try automation, or how’ to get results with
one man in cases in which three men w’ere needed years ago.
For example:
“Thick orange-red smoke billows over the West Virginia
hills 30 miles away from towering furnace stacks at the
Weirton mill of National Steel Corp. Fifty miles farther
north, scarlet clouds roll over the Ohio countryside from
the Campbell Works of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.
Such colorful scenes are becoming increasingly common
around the nation’s steel towns—despite the mill-vs.com-
munity battles over air pollution they have more than once
provoked. The red smoke is a by-product of a sharp speed
up in the production pace of the open hearth furnace, which
melts about 85% of the nation’s steel. Other results of this
speedup: Lower steel-making costs, new pressure against
steel price boosts, and a continuing reduction in the number
of workers needed to make any given amount of steel.
The loaf-shaped open hearth refines steel by playing
flames over a bubbling mass of molten iron and steel scrap
to burn out impurities. Its versatility in melting different
grades of steel from raw mateials mixed in widely varying
ratios has made it the industry’s workhorse since early in
the century. In Korean War days, however, it melted steel
at a plodding average pace of 15 tons an hour.
Since then a set of new techniques has wrought a dras
tic change. Oxygen piped into a open hearth through
‘lances,’ or tubes poked through the roof has produced a
hotter, faster-working flame—and in the process created
the red smoke. New types of heat-resistant brick have ex
tended the time a furnace can operate before shutting down
for repairs to linings cracked by the heat of cooking steel.
Mills have devised faster ways to dump materials into the
furnace, and they are planning ways to regulate by auto
matic controls part of the process now subject to trial
and error by the furnace crew.’’
Even the lawyers! Fancy now; even the lawers are trying
mechanical gadgets in their practice.
“In some future television drama, lawyer Perry Mason
may obtain a recess as a trial approaches its climax, hop in
his convertible and roar off to an electronic computer cen
ter. The computer will blink and hum for a few moments, and
then Perry will race back to the courtroom—armed with
the key legal point needed to save the day for the innocent
man he is defending.
This may not be so far-fetched as it now appears, if the
predictions of some leaders of the legal profession are
borne out. So far lawyers have employed computers only ex
perimentally. But a number of legal authorities are confi
dent electronic brains eventually will relieve lawyers of con
siderable tedious research on statutes and precedents, a
chore that now often occupies as much as a third of a law
yer’s working hours.
Legal experts also say computers will be able to perform
routine research more accurately than lawyers can and in a
fraction of time flesh-and-blood researchers require. Some
lawyers even go so far as to suggest computers might trim
clients’ legal bills by reducing the time a lawyer must spend
on a case. It’s anticipated the machines would be run by bar
associations or by service businessmen.”
One thing baffles me: if the man who steps on my toe
is liable in damages how shall we compute the damages?
If he has only $100 well and good; but if he has $5,000 how
can the machine tell you?

’ ^ the plan of the Israelite
to divert a portion of the water of
the Jordan River to irrigate a

that, if the project is carried out,

But the ancient tribesmen did

the landmarks of history will not
disappear from the minds of men
for the reason that they live in

There seems to be a growing
interest in our landmarks, the
sacred places of history in our
great Country. And surely this is
all to the good. It will be good to
imbue all our people with the
American spirit that has made
us a great people. And surely, for
every individual who looks back
over the changing scenes of his
own life there must be a sacred

with bowed head to thank the
heavenly Father for his love and

Feminine Summer Fashions
The eye appeal of fashions for
summer can be summed up in
one word, and that's feminine.
Softness is achieved through mas
terful handling of subtle style
lines.
Among the features to be noted
in fashions are the following:
princess lines, bias cuts, ruffled
trimming, softly flared skirts and
waistline jackets.
Waistlines are becoming more
important as the silhouette moves
subtly closer to the body. It may
be accented by wide, waist-cinch
ing belts.
Helen’s Favorite:
German Sbort Ribs
(Serves 6)
2 pounds beef short ribs
1 cup seasoned flour
2 10-ounce packages lima
beans
pint soured cream
4 tablespoons prepared horse
radish
Cut ribs in 3-inch squares
and coat in floor. Brown in
extra suet cut from ribs. Add
water to cover ribs and cook
slowly in a slow (325°F.) oven
for 1*6 hours. Add lima beans,
seasoned with salt and pepper.
Cook for 40 minutes longer.
Just before done, add soured
cream and horseradish. Sprin
kle with paprika and serve.
In empire styles, the waist is
slightly raised, but, naturally, it
is still in a natural position. For
the princess silhouette, it is mold
ed close to the body.
Free-wheeling skirts are
achieved through circle flares,
umbrella gores, easy pleats and
A-line shapes. Even when cut
along slender lines, paneling and
shirring produce a freedom of
motion.
Black and white are a popular
color combination, used singly or
with striking print
FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D. Smith
Does Two Year Difference Make Girl Too Old?
THE WEEK’S LETTER: I have
a problem and would like your
opinion. Here it is: I like this boy |
who is 14, very smart in school,
so he was put up a few grades.
He is a Junior this yer.r. I am a
Sophomore, and am 16. We like
each other very much and I’m
afraid he will ask me to go steady
with him before long. I would like
to, but I’m afraid my parents
will disagree with me, because
I am the oldest. Do you think I
am too old for this boy? He acts
older, and he looks much older
than 14. All my friends ask me
if v/e are going steady yet, and
if I could if he would ask me.
They don’t think I’m too old for
him. Please answer. Tell me what
you think of us going steady.
OUR REPLY: At ages 16 and
14, we do not recommend that you
go steady—and our opinion would
be the same if the boy were two
years older than you.
Our advice, if your parents per
mit it, is to accept dates with the
boy if he asks y’ui, but stay otf
the steady routine. Why is it that
every teenager who finds some
one he or she .likes thinks that it
is necessary to go steady?
Certainly, if this boy was moved
up to the Junior grade by his
, fourteenth year, he is “older”
! than his chronological age—and
I you seem to indicate that he has
| more “on the ■>all” than mere
“book sense.”
This is all well and good. Let’s
accept the fact that he is not
“too young” for you. Even if he
were a senior, we would not rec
ommend he go steady; any more
than we would recommend going
steady to a Sophomore boy or
girl.
We say: be good friends, but
stay away from the steady, arm-
in-arm, always-together routine.
You both have too much to lose.
If jroa have a teenage preblem yea
want to disensa, or an observation to
mako, address your lettor to FOB
