By EARL WILSON Several weeks ago in the comic strip “Mutt and Jeff," Jeff was pictured as posting signs all over town which said, “He is coming." He sold tickets to see him, and the house was overflowing. As he walked off with a wheelbarrow full of money^that he had collected a sign was shown to the aud ience which said, “He is gone. This is a picture typical of the conditions of the world in which we live today. Our advertising companies can fill huge auditoriums with people who want to see an entertainer. People will drive many miles to hear a screaming voice, a brassy trumpet, or a sexy saxophone, but they won’t go across the street to hear the word of the Lord. Down through the ages men have proclaimed “He is com ing/ but their proclamations have fallen on deaf ears. Isaiah pointed to the one coming in the name of the Lord f( Amos and Jeremiah tried diligently to persuade their nation to look forward to the one who was coming to be the Saviour of the world. The apostles of the early first century tried to make the world listen to their cry, “He is coming," but the world paid little or no attention. Today, men who have felt the call of God in their own lives are trying to turn the eyes of the world from the sinful pleasures of the world but they pay no attention. One day, like Jeff, the message is going to be, ‘He is gone," and then it will be too late. Many will go in search for him on that day but to no avail. The Bible says, “Ye shall look for me, and ye shall find me, when you have searched for me with all your hearts.

He is shown with Mrs. Howard Cook, one of the volunteer work ers. Although the deficit of 271 pints wasn’t covered, the results were highly successful in view of the large amount of illness in the community recently. Donors numbering 190 reported to give blood, and 160 pints were collected. The Exchange Club sponsored this visit of the Bloodmobile, with activities being coordinated by the president, Gordon Leslie, who took enough time to make the Sunphoto shown above.

THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN We are now well on the way to the new year. 1964 has been buried with history and has become a party of anti quity. Just as we read nowadays to see what the old Rom ans and Greeks and the Hebrews did, so 100 years from now people will read about 1964 and see all the things we did and did not do. Well, what about the new year? Frankly I don’t know what is ahead of us and probably no one else knows. We like to dream and some people assume wisdom which they have not. Are we to have prosperity ? Let us hope so but one prophet knows about as much as another When men who write and talk want to fill space they say all sorts of things and so they fill space. No man can tell whether 1965 will be the most prosperous year in our history; or whether it will be one of the saddest disappointments. We walk by faith and not by sight. By faith we plan and hope but the faith should not be entirely in ourselves and our neighbors; our faith should be rooted in a rich fellowship with The Most High for He holds the world in the hollow of His hand. We have been reading of the disasters in northern Cali fornia and we have felt secure, perhaps not calling on divine aid, but trusting in our own strength and resources. This nation of ours was founded in faith and has survived many trials because of faith in the Most High. Just to show you what can happen in a short time: many years ago I was standing in my newspaper office when it began to rain. I closed the door and stood looking out at the Court House square, but saw nothing but rain. What else had happened? Within three minutes, as I stood looking out, a tornado struck our little town uprooting 50 big oaks on the Court House square, shifting the roof of the Court House; leaving a dozen stores flooded with water and three people dead. When I looked out the streets were a mass of trees and twisted wires. No one felt the effects of that tornado three blocks away. Away from the Court House square and the little business district everything was per fectly calm. So you see, the wisdom of man has sharp limitations; we need the guidance and protection of the Most High. So now in 1965 we shall march in fellowship with one another, unless we have the protection of the higher power no one can tell what calamity can befall us within a matter of hours. used to make such things as cordage, tarpaulins and, more recently, outdoor carpeting. Vectra Co. officials claim that a 30-day test of their hose on airline stewardesses and other active women showed that Vectra wore five times longer than nylon. ‘The Vectra hose last a week and a half and feel like a brand new pair of ny lons every time I put them on’, says Mary Joe Wheatley, a United Air Lines stewardess who participated in the test. Vectra stockings like those Miss Wheatley wore sell for about $1.65 a pair, compared with $1.25 a pair for average quality nylon hose. This reflects the fact that Vectra fibre itself cost $6.11 a pound, or about twice as much as nylon. The cost disadvantage is probably the main reason that so far only three companies—Leath, McCarthy & Maynard, Inc., National Mills, Inc., and Chad bourn Gotham, Inc.— are knitting Vectra fibre into tsockings. A number of other mills have secured production licenses but have adopted a wait-and-see attitude. ‘You can be sure the major companies are testing it’, says one executive, ‘and if they find a real advantage in Vectra they’’l start making hose out of it'. One of the things that discourages them, besides price, is Vectra’s inability to take dyes. To create different shades of Vectra the colors have to be mixed in with other chemicals while making the fibre itself. Because this is a cumbersome process, Vectra comes in only two shades—‘sun tan’ and ‘burnished taupe’. By contrast, nylon can be readily dyed, and women can choose hose in scores of different colors, including ‘thrush’ ‘sun glow’, and ‘gray mist’. Vectra officals hope to be able to offer two more shades by sprinf, however. And they also say their laboratories are making progress in solving another Vectra problem—its relative lack of resiliency which some critics say prevents it from fitting as snugly as nylon.’ >> Some suggestions about our Social Security. “At present, everyone is entitled to Social Security bene fits who has reached the age of 62 and has paid Social Se curity taxes for a total of 3 1-4 years. The total will be raised next year to 3 1-2 years and to 3 3-4 the year after. By 1971, a man will have to have paid the tax for five years to qualify for a pension. The man who retires at 62 gets only 80 per cent of the amount we would get by retiring at 65. If a man doesn’t re tire at 65, he’ll start getting Social Security when he reaches 72, even though hes still working. There have been cases cf corporation presidents earning more than $100,000 a year, who at the same time were receiving checks from Social Security. The reason: Social Security is not a handout for the indigent but a right, for which the man has paid taxes. We are always hearing something new and here is some- A man of 72 still working while receiving Social Security Mrs. Belle Lee’s sister succumbs Funeral services for Mrs. Anna Rauch Arnold were held at 3 p.m. .Saturday in St. Peter’s Lutheran Church near Lexington, conducted by Rev.

SAVINGS placed with us are insured for safety Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation An Instrumentality of the United States Government Save by March 10th and Earn from March 1st thing new to me: Mr. Sam Weiman who handles publicity for the S. C. Electric and Gas company frequently digs up something of interest and here is one of my friend Sam’s latest: “According to a survey, 80 per cent of American husbands help their wives with the dishes. 63 per cent cook breakfast often, 94 per cent do some of the family shopping, 32 per cent wash windows, and 43 per cent of the husbands help scrub floors! The survey takers mention all sorts of reasons for this trend—working wives, lack of part-time servants, more children in the family, (shorter workdays), and so on. But even more interesting than the reasons are the results: When the helpful husband does things in the kitchen, he soon decides to do things TO the kitchen. First, he intro duces new gadgets—everything from automatic ice crush ers to automatic dishwashers. Many of the men improve ventilation with new exhaust fans; they add fluorescent light fixtures over each work area. In other words, they IMPROVE working conditions. And well they should! The South Carolina Electric and Gas company reminds every husband that even with this ‘new help’ from them, the av erage American woman will spend approximately 10 YEARS OF HER LIFE in the kitchen. Electrical help can make those ten years easier and happier." benefits, must pay Social Security taxes. The benefits are tax free. If a man shifts from one jo bto another, he may have to pay his tax twice in the same year. This will happen because the tax is deducted from the first $4,800 a man earns on a job. If he earned $4,800 at his first job, he’s already paid his tax but he wil have to pay it again in his second job. However, he can deduct the extra payment from his in come tax. Every employer has to give each of his workers a form each year, telling how much has been deducted from his wages for Social Security. The worker should check with his local Social Security office every three years to see that his employer’s figures match the Government’s. Three years is the limit allowed by Social Security to correct errors.” Building and Loan Association 1117 Boyce Street Newberry, S. C. * Dial 276-5660 DIRECTORS: Ralph B. Baker ' J.

We are a nation of constant changes. Now comes a new fiber which challenges nylon in the hosiery field. It is called “Vectra” and is made of plastic. “The American woman, who long has regarded nylon and stockings as practically synonymous, soon may have to learn another word for hosiery. The new word is Vectra, a sheer fiber whose makers predict soon will adorn a good many legs now sheathed in nylon. Vectra stockings, introduced last April, are made from a fiber developed by Vectra Co., a division of National Plas tic Co., which in tum is owned by Humble Oil and Refining Co. and J. P. Stevens Co. So far, its relatively high cost and technical problems have slowed Vectra’s acceptance by the mills who cater to the $600 million a year U. S. hosiery market. But developers are striving to overcome Vectra’s problems and meanwhile are spending $1 million an adver tising to make sure women are well informed about its claimed advantages. The new fiber’s main advantage is its high resistance to snags and runs. Vectra is a trade name for olefin, the bi- frous form of a versatile plastic called polypropylene.
