BREEDIN A man in public life should refrain from casual talk, he should refrain from speaking on all occasion and he should restrain the impulse to talk, talk, talk to newspaper re porters. It is easy for man to enjoy talking and he may sometimes do quite a bit of injudicious talking. Recently a man in high position talked on a delicate subject his lack time. If a Development of the technique follows Ferro’s work in the de velopment of pregnated rein forcements, primarily for the aerospace industry. Parts made from this material today serve as structural tailpieces, radomes and various nonstructural com- poncnts. Many of the pregnated com ponents currently being pro duced are cured, or hardened under heat and pressure, but re gently Ferro engineers perfect ed a technique that eliminates the need for curing ovens by ,-substituting ultraviolet lamps, the company said.” Many thousands of our people used to live in houses of log.-, and mud; and 1 don’t doubt they were comfortable, certainly when they had a good and we may lament file of logs. of (1 iscretion fi >r some A person can accustom him- self to very simple living, man has no serious espi 'dally if he has about as m to speak he won Id nine h as his neighbors enjoy. advised if he sa id be we nothing.

What sav vou? market the -ting is com impregnated he .--t t act u re Lumber is high; bricks are high; work is high priced; building lots are high in fact we have nothing cheap but words; and we are overfed, virtually drowned in words. Now here may be something of interest and value: "Instant plastic buildings are a possibility through a new process developed by Ferro C'orp, the president announced. The process is designed to provide permanent and semi permanent buildings out of flexible plastic material that hardens i| hours under sun light. Once cured, the material is highly resistant to destruct ion, according to the company. ‘It won’t burn and the only way you can cut it is with a metal cutting tool like a hacksaw'. Mr. Marks said. Structure up to half-mile in diameter are possible, but the ultimate size will be determined when a complete stress analysis currently hieing made is com pleted.

The flexible material I s sewn by machines into tin de sired chape and then inflated, he said. 1’ressure required to inflate the structure is only slightly more than the weight of the material itself, or about two to three pounds per squan yard, he said. (’uring, or hardening, in sun light,the key to the process, takes a matter of hours or days, depending on the size and temperature, Mr. Sherrard said. ‘We would expect a f>0 foot structure to harden completely in two days, a half-mile dome might take eight to ten days’, he said. Cost of construction of 50- fooC-diameter building, which would have approxiv. itely 2,000 square feet of usable floor space, is estimated at between $2 and a square foot, about one-third the cost of convent ional construction. Look about you: why so main brick houses and all facilities of the day 7 Because we want what our neighbors have. Our grandfathers never dreamed of so much luxury; nor do we re gard it as luxury: We are merely keeping up with our neighbore and kinfolks, per haps. During a year and a half in the Andes Mountains 1 had a life of notable simplicity, incredible I think, as measured by the common standard of today in the United States. In the Army camps in France tents were a luxury at times and stables at other times, I recall one improvised build ing for officers, about thirty feet long and twelve feet wide. In the center was a long pass age way of about four feet wide. On each side were rooms, marked by canvas partitions about 2 feet from the floor and and about six feet high. We en joyed a tin basin and one chair. The one light was an electric light at the head of the bed. .lust in front were assembled 2500 planes. We had ordinary fare, crude but abundant. Uncle Sam provided good food but entrusted it to a sold ier not highly distinguished in battle. No one suffered. Now and then the courts give me fill ion -!y to think, as some win-' u ed to say.

Because some may he inter ested m clipping and saving his words, Capital Report this week is devoted to the text of Westmoreland s speech deliver ed before tne South Carolina General Assembly. Here is the message: “Thank you for the warm reception that you have ac corded my mother and me. My only regret is that my father could not be here. "dour resolutions are deeply appreciated and these on this occasion are cherished.

But this is a new day and all our men of fifty years of ago should be born again in the new day. 1 must have lived beyond my time, my experience and my training. “The low water level at Lake Murray has at least one point in its favor—it’s made it easier for the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company to forge ahead with the construct ion of the six new recreational areas—all designed to give the public greater access to Lake Murray. The lower than usual lake level ties in with the grad ing for the permanent boat launching ramps which will be a big asset to boating enthusiasts. The six locations will also provide picnic and parking areas- and all these facilities will he open to the public without charge. Work also continues on the roads leading to the six now areas- 1-x ati (1 onsites ranging in size from an acre and a half to almost nine acres.

As for the cost of hiring this help, did you know that your electric service from the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company—not just in your kitchen, but throughout the house, is just about the biggest bargain in your family budget?

Your native sons are playing a major role in this just and noble commitment by our country. As I visit my troops in Viet nam—which 1 do as often as I can—the native sons of South Carolina usually make them selves known to me. There fore I have observed and talked with hundreds of the sons, bro thers, and fathers of the cit izens of our state who are serving their country on the frontier of democracy and freedom. Their service is ty pical of that of all Americans representing a cross section of our country and our society. This includes all races, colors, and creeds; and I say to the people of my native state and my country that the perform ance of the Negro servicemen has been particularly inspira tional to me. He has served with distinction equal to that of his white comrade in arms. The Negro serviceman, like all servicemen, has been a credit to our country. He has been courageous on the battlefield, proficient in a cross section of technical skills. Like his white colleagues, he understands what the war is all about, he is loyal to his country and sup ports its policies, and is car rying out his responsibilities with a sense of responsibility. The support wh'ch has been given by the people of S. Caro lina to our efforts in Vietnam is important, meaningful, time ly, and appreciated. “I thank you, Governor Mc Nair, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and gentlemen of the State As sembly, and Through you, all citizens of South Carolina.” Social Security information Everyone should contact the social security office 2 or 3 months before reaching age G5 to file application for medicare Miss Martha Pressley, social security district manager, said today. “This is true even if you have not worked under social security or have no plans to stop working, but you must file an application and estab lish your age.” Miss Pressly pointed out that many kinds of records may be obtained as evidence of age. The oldest records are usually the best. She stressed that one should not delay contacting the social security office because hr does not have proof of age. "Another good reason for filing to establish medicare coverage is that you may also find you’re entitled to some cash benefits. Thousands of people have been pleasantly surprised in this way,” she added.
