But the “word” isn’t infall ible. And the Bill after amend ment—the version now before the Congress—still retains measures which strike out both individual and State rights. The “watering down” of the Bill, first of all, hardly chang ed a whit of two of the pro posal’s three sections. If the present version becomes law, the Federal Government will have the authority to supervise the selection of State juries. No proof of discrimination will be needed for Federal interfer ence: the Government can act if there is “reason to believe” discrimination may take place. The premise of this section seems to be that the Federal Government is all-wise and all fair, while the States and the people are not. Having designed a plan for Federal control of the jury system, the Bill’s framers then move to the field of education. This legislation would give Washington the now r er to bus children across town in order to integrate them. Of course, Government spokesmen assure us that this power will never be used. If so, why delegate the power in the first place? Also included in the educa tion section of the Bill is an enormous addition to the power of the Attorney General. At present, he may only bring suit against a local school sys tem if an “injured party” liv ing within that system has registered a complaint. But this current Bill gives him the power to bring suits even when nobody has complained about “injustice”! In other words, even if both negroes and whites are satisfied with their local schools, the Federal Govern ment can move in to integrate those schools. Again, only Washington knows what i s good for us. What, then, has been “wat ered down” in this all-empow ering Bill? Supposedly the Fair Housing section. Liberals in (Songress realized that they had to knock out—or pretend to—some of the provisions of this section, lest the rage of a million Americans prevented the Bill’s passage altogether. For Liberals, this Bill’s pass- AGREEMENT FOR FROGRESS THE PUBLIC INTEREST prevailed last week in agree ments which remove road blocks to the construction of four major proposed projects: 1(1) the $700 million Keowee- Toxoway nuclear and steam power generating facility by Duke Power Company in Pick ens and Oconee Counties, South Carolina; (2) the $210 million steam plant at Middleton Shoals in Anderson County by Duke Power Company; (3) the Trot ters Shoals multi-purpose dam on the Savannah River in Abbe ville County by the US Corps of Engineers; and (4) a paper mill by Mead Corporation near the Trotters Shoals site in Ab beville County. THE TROTTERS SHOALS project, as initially proposed, would have precluded the con struction of the steam generat ing plant at Middleton Shoals In Anderson County by Duke Tower Company and would have flooded the site purchased by Mead Corporation for con struction of a large paper mill. The Middleton Shoals plant would produce 25 times the electric power that Trotters Shoals would produce, and would pay State and local taxes to the extent of $5,590,000 an nually, and $7,400,000 In Fed eral taxes. The proposed Mead paper mill would provide many Jobs and would create a new and better market for timber products. UNDER SUCH circumstances, Congress has not seen fit to authorize construction of the Trotters Shoals multi-purpose Aim. Congressional approval is also necessary for Duke's Mid dleton Shoals project, however, and this, too, has been fore stalled. The question of whether the proposed site for the Mead paper mill would be flooded by the construction of Trotters Shoals left this project hang ing in the balance, also. DURING THIS IMPA8S, Duke Power Company an nounced a proposal to construct a power generating facility, with two of the generators to be nuclear, on the Keowee and Toxoway Rivers in Pickens and Oconee Counties. The Rural Electric Cooperatives in Georgia and North Carolina, or ganized as the Bi-State Co operatives, formally opposed granting of a license for the Keowee-Toxoway projects by the Federal Power Commission out of apprehension that this generating facility might in some way preclude the Trotters Shoals project. WITH ALL PROSPECTS pointing to a continued stale mate with all projects stalled, Duke Power Company about six weeks ago initiated discus sions directly with the Bi-State Cooperatives on points of dif ference concerning the proposed projects. Last week, the Duke Power Company and the Co operatives presented to the Sen ators from South Carolina and Georgia, and to the Congress men in whose Districts the pro posed projects lie, a proposal to unsnarl all the projects. UNDER THE PROPOSAL, Congress would be urged by all concerned to authorize the Duke Middleton Shoals steam generating plant and also to authorize at the same time con struction of the Trotters Shoals dam at a reduced height which would be compatible with the Middleton Shoals plant. The Bi- State Cooperative would with draw their opposition to Duke Power Company's Keowee-Tox oway project, removing the last obstacle to the granting of a license for this facility by the Federal Power Commission. Duke Power Company officials gave assurance that the Mid dleton Shoals generating plant would be built when Keowee- Toxoway is completed. DUKE POWER COMPANY officials also reported at the conference that the proposal to proceed with Trotters Shoals would not now conflict with tiie construction of a paper mill by Mead Corporation in Abbeville County, for a suit able site is now available which will not be flooded by the res ervoir of Trotters Shoals Dam, as would have been the former site. SOUTH CAROLINA Is now assured of adequate electric power to meet her future needs. Industrial development and the jobs created thereby can now continue unimpeded. THE RESOLUTION OF this long standing controversy is in the best traditions of coopera tion in a free society. Even more important, it is the pub lic interest which prevailed. A stumbling Mock in the toad of progress has hem eliminated. PROPERTY TRANSFERS Mary Goodwin and J. D. Goodwin Jr. to Bertha Flor- | ence B.

The generous revisers of the Bill have decided that you may “discriminate” SOMETIMES. If, for instance you own four houses you are allowed to “discriminate” in the sale of the first two. Which is to say you may sell the houses to whom you please—family or friends, perhaps. But woe to you if you sell the third and fourth houses to persons of your choosing! If those per sons happen to be members of you religion or race, you might be liable for Federal punish ment. Don’t fall for the line that you’ve got nothing to lose if this Bill passes. You’ve got a lot to lose—including your freedom.

Anbrey Harley FARM NO?US Lawn Insects First let’s discuss the most serious lawn insect in South Carolina and a few control measures. The Chinch Bugs— Serious chinch bug damage is frequently reported in the Coastal Plains Area of the State and in recent years even to the mountains. The Chinch bug sucks the plant juices and also releases a poison. Yellowish-to-dead patches occur in lawns. The greatest damage occurs in sun shiny areas of lawn. Shady spots are not usually infested because the chinch bug does not like to work in the shade. Young chinch bugs (nymphs) are about one tenth inch long and are reddish with a white band. Adult chinch bugs are about one-fifth inch long and are reddish with a white band. It may be a wise idea to check your lawn weekly for chinch bugs. One good method you use to check your lawn; slide your foot through the sod and watch for bugs to crawl across your shoe. When chinch bugs are found, treat lawn with a 5 per cent Sevin dust per 1000 square feet, or a 25 per cent Diazinon 1 1-3 cupsful in spray foam. Lawn should be sprink led at least one hour before applying insecticide. Garden Talking about gardening if we haven’t gotten the garden fever yet, we can sure get it this month, especially our FALL gardens. There are a number of different types of vegetables that can be planted or transplanted during this month such as; pole beans, li ma beans, pole lima bean, brus- sels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, collards, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplant, pepper and tomaties. Let us get busy and stay busy and have a good FALL GARDEN. Remember — Good Seeds, strong, healthy plants, fertili zer, cultivation, irrigation, dis ease and insect control equal GOOD HARVESTING THIS FALL! Rev. ROBERT H. HARPER PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH A ll my life I have heard of the man who is penny-wise and pound-foolish. And now I am going to try to picture the man who saves in little things but misses greater things. Such a man was found in Pilgrims Progress, the man with the muck rake, who was so busy gathering up little things that he never saw the crown of gold held just above his head. We might apply the caption to the man who hoards his pennies and refuses to believe that it takes money to make money and like the man of one talent puts his talent in a napkin and hides it away. But the wise man who seeks goodly pearls, when he finds one pearl of great price, sells all that he has and buys that splendid gem. As it is in the world of business and finance, so is it in all our living. The Chinese have a proverb —“Pay the price and take it.” This is true in a house of mer chandise. If there is a suit that you like, pay the price and you may have it. If there is consuma- tion tha* is devoutly wished, pay the price iu toil and sacrifice and you may enjoy it abundantly. If you would live a good life and gain heaven at last, meet the terms of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Benton PRESIDENT-NATIONAL EDUCATION JROGRAI4 Seerey, Arkeesee WILL THE “FREE LUNCH’’ GET US? Many of the millions of Am ericans who are receiving some form of governmental “wel fare” payment appear to have accepted President Johnson’s “Great Society” program as the arrival of the full-blown “Welfare State.” But they are already unhappy with what they are getting out of it. The so-called Poverty Rights Ac tion Center, in Washington, D. C., national headquarters of the marching type agitators for bigger and bigger welfare grants, is attempting to rally millions of “poverty warriors” to its banners. Leaders of the PRAC mar ches on state capitols in recent weeks have demanded immed iate whopping increases in wel fare payments and a guaran teed annual income. Such dem onstrations and such goals are but manifestations of a dan gerous state of mind spreading across the nation in the wake of $13.3 billion of “federal aid” flowing from the Federal treasury each 12 months into the 50 states (and increasing each year). Millions of people have naturally succumbed to the idea that something can be had for nothing, that there really is a “free lunch” and thus no need to work for a living. Endangering Our Society The mirage of the “free lunch” will spread to more and more millions if hardworking American taxpayers do not put a stop to the politically-moti vated growth of “aid” pro grams both at the state and Federal levels of government. There is, of course, legitimate cases of disabled, handicapped and incompetent persons who require and should receive help. Most of it would be pro vided by Churches and other public-spirited agencies—such as the United Funds—were it not for politically-motivated governmental aggressiveness to expand “aid” programs and make jobs for “aid” dispen sers. The danger of the growing, glittering mirage of “some thing for nothing” encom passes the whole of cur society. Once people forsake their in dependence (to any degree) and inhibit their ability to care for themselves, they become like those who take narcotics to relieve themselves of some unpleasantness or incapacity. They most likely will become addicted to dependence. A whole nation could fall victim of the “something for nathing” mirage and wither gradually into a desert wasteland of na tional dependency. What The Leopard Learned In traveling across America and throughout the world 1 never came upon a more dramatic example of the dan ger of “something for noth ing” than the escape of the leopard from the Oklahoma city zoo a few years ago. It was a big news story. Zoo Dir ector Julian Frazier had ob tained the lithe and sinewy leopard from a big game hunt er in India. The 175 pound beast had been captured in the jungle when he seized a tempting hunk of raw meat— a “free lunch.” The meat was on the trigger of a trap. In a few weeks the leopard was comfortably situated in a brand-new 18-foot-deep con crete pit, a showplace in the Oklahoma City Zoo. In the zoo the beautiful ani mal was fed with sumptuous meals of raw meat. He did not have to forage as of old. Lunch was free. He gained weight and lost some of his nervous j furiousness. But the age-old instinct to be free died slowly. Late one afternoon, driven by this instinct, the caged animal made a single incredible leap, cleared the wall and the moat surrounding his pot, and was free! While the hue and cry of 1 the whole city and countryside was raised in pursuit, the leopard roamed in the nearby woods. For three days he romped. He got terribly hun gry. He sought out small game. But obviosuly he had lost the old cunning of the hunter. He couldn’t feed himself! Paying The Price Back at the Zoo, huge chunks of fresh horse meat were plac ed in the rim of the pit each sundown. On the fourth night, the starving leopard slipped into the Zoo grounds, ap proached the pit. He caught the scent of the meat. With a leap and a growl the big cat closed its jaws on a four- pound chunk of fresh horse meat — another free lunch! The meat was gulped down, and so was a second chunk. Quickly the leopard became strangely drowsy. He stagger ed down the runway and cou- lapsed, asleep. The captive from India never again regained his senses. Within 15 hours he was dead. Zoo Director Frazier Was grieved. The meat, he explain ed, contained a sleeping potion. And the leopard ate more than expected. Of course the Zoo officials had wanted only to capture their ward, protect it, and provide for its welfare in their own way. “We thought everything was working per fectly,” Zoo Keeper Frazier said. Will Americans, like the leopard, trade their liberties for a “free lunch” mirage — the Welfare State? We will if we are apathetic and short sighted. 60LDE CftOUin* TRUSS LUXURIOUS RUPTURE COMFORT New cool, washable 3-ply Mirada mate rial*! Unexcollod raliaf and comfort Flat foam rubber groin pad.
