DESERVING OUR THANKS Soon Tabor City is going to find its mail delivery greatly improved. The longest highway postoffice route in the United States starts to work on August 14, making a 360 mile daily .»tin that will better the mail service in and out of Tabor City immeasur ably. For this improvement, Tabor City citizenry is indebted to many local per sons as well as many Washington statesmen who have worked diligently for many weeks in an effort to get this system inaugurated. Not only have they worked to get it started, but they have worked to get it started immedi ately. When first reports of its ap proval came in, saying that the service would start within 90 to 120 days, local interests who had worked for the improvement asked for faster action in order to accommodate the commun ity now, the busiest season of the year. As a result, the system's inauguration was hurried and starts next Monday. To these persons should go your sin cere thanks: Senator Clyde R. Hoey, Representative F. Ertel Carlyle, Sena tor Frank P. Graham, K. Clyde Coun cil, Ben L. NeSmith, Jr., and Postmas ter Willard Garrell, among others a special congratulation should go to the Waccamaw Bank and Trust Company which has been highly instrumental in putting this program across. A PRIMER OF POLITICAL THEORY L.^L 1 .L If you had two cows SOCIALISM—You would give one to your neighbor who is not thrifty enough to buy a cow of his own. COMMUNISM—The Government takes both and gives you some of the milk (maybe). FASCISM—The Government takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM—The Government takes PHONY RURAL ELECTRIFICAT] Apparently the Rural Electrifica tion Administration has developed into a political holding company for the purpose of loaning money to local Co ops, in order to carry on tax-subsid ized, Federally-financed electric pro jects which were never contemplated in the original RE A Act. For some time it has been evident that the RE A is no longer satisfied to help get electricity to farmers not other wise served. It is going out to duplicate the lines of pri vate companies under the current Fed eral program which seems determined to socialize the electric industry of the United States. One of the latest examples is pre sented in an advertisement in the New York Times by the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company. The presi dent of that company says the REA in Washington has approved a loan of $7,595,500 to a Co-op holding com pany composed of 14 local Co-ops for the construction of transmission lines to parallel existing lines. Tt»— ββ«ί·ιιΛ_Γnnner nrniprt stnnth er Federally financed electrical enter prise, will furnish the power and main tain the system. Altogether $9,000,000 will be spent and not bring electric service to a single additional rural home in South Carolina, according to HOW MUCH PROFIT? The American people still have a highly exaggerated idea of the profits earned by large businesses. That is shown by two surveys made in 1946 and in 1950 by the Psychological Cor poration which is directed by Dr. Henry C. Link. The key question was: "Out of every dollar which large business com panies take in, about how many cents do you think they keep as a clear prof it?*' The correct answer would be: "Less than 10 cents." But in the 1946 survey only 13 per cent gave that an swer, and in 1950 only 22 per cent. Amazingly, more than 51 per cent of UVU1 a«iu ^ NEW DEALISM—The Govern ment takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away.

THE AMERICAN WAY , Ι < THE AMERICAN WAY GLORIOUS GLORIA BY GEORGE PECK ii The DuPont Company is known j ο the American public a* a (laker of "Better Things For letter Living Through Chemis ry"—undoubtedly most famous ' ar the nylon which it developed : nd manufactures. Each DuPont j rogram, "The Calvacade of 1 imerica" — a radio program 1 qual in excellence to the pro- 1 ucts produced by that company. A few weeks ago this program I ramatized the story of Gloria .' Jhomiak. Miss Chomiak is the ' 7-year old Wilmington (Dela ' ^are) High School girl, born in 1 Canada of parents who emigrat- ' d there from the Ukraine. Gloria ad submitted an essay in the < roice of Democracy contest spon- , ored jointly by the National As ociation of Broadcasters, ι Na- ( ional Junior Chamber of Com- j lerce and the Radio Manufac- . urers Association, and was one | f four American High School ( tudents to win a prize. At the end of the program Miss ( ,'homiak appeared personally , nd read a part of her prize winning essay, just as she previ- , usly had done at Williamsburg η the House of Burgesses. So [lorious was Gloria's essay that s is reproduced below, not in »art but in full. I SPEAK FOR DEMOCRACY By Gloria Chomiak I speak for democracy. because wo generations back my ancos ors could not; because if I do 10t speak for it—if many mort lo not speak for it, tlier* may :ome a time when we, too, will 10t have the right to do so. For oday, more than at any el her ime, governing powers are pitt ;d one against another. It six-ms ι crisis has been reached, and nust be broken. We who believe in demon acy connot tiust to jur living it alone. We must stand up, and apeak, and bf icard in its cause. And what is this thing called iemocracyY It is a though dis :overed in ancient Greece; a hing a Slavic serf dreamed of .00 much and paid for with his ife; an ideal, started in its prac ;ice by a model Parliament of England; and bitterly struggled 'or in Louis' France. It is a le:;v ;ning of revolutions, a step child )f Utopia; a system, first defined is a government for and by ihe people in our own country, vhere it has grown to what we «now and love today. It is a government that has jeen developing for hundreds of /ears, and shall develop for hundreds more; a government itage wherein it served the citi :ens of Greece—citizens who did 10t include the underprivileged How mild can a cigarette be? MORE PEOPLE {MOKE CAMELS than any other cigarette! and among the millions who do... COLE PORTER Famous song writer has this to say : "Camels scored a hit with me years ago. A great-tasting smoke! And Camels are mild I" VXCUige rCCK ind the captive and who consti· uted but a fraction of the popul ation. It is a government that ias wcathereed the time when a and-laden Polish baron frowned ipon it, thinking of his foreign ierfs, tilling their foreign fields or his benefit alone. He worried ittle, for be could dispose of hem at his pleasure if he found >ne who thought in their number. It is a government that has iiown great since that medieval rear when England's people first lad representative before their cinjr—the first representative?. >efore authority a people ever| tad. It won a place for itself during | he bitter civil war of Franco vhen people were hungry andl ingored with the extravagant | :aprices of those who ruled it hrough heritage, and it found I ι home in the New World when| lonest colonists learned to de nand a rule by their own choice. It has grown from a privilege )f the few to a right of the •ommon, risen from a pei-secuted dca to a mighty ideal upheld in safety by millions. It has devc oped into a system whose imper lections can be remedied, and I Arhose virtues are a God-given | •ight. - For this democracy is a natura' system. Men were created equa1 in their rights and their resp'on· BY GRACE HEGGES .'Grace Hegges, of San Francisco, s 17 and was graduated ai the head >f her class. Site starts college next lemester on an academic scli«:!ar ihip. Grace answers the question: ire college advantages as treat Tor vom en as for men?) The fact that almost as many vom en attend col !c:re as 11101» ii'.di :ates to me that the bonofiis of ligher education are not the 10 itrictod privileges of men, as we vere all once led to believe. Yet, you hear more η'ΌΐιcoIIco men. The rea son for t' I suppose, is thai acollegedv Γ'- a means more 1 > men when thoy yj* go out into the world. Theg^n cral impression . is that culiepc· w 0 m e 11 a r c merely bid in?? _ „ their tin;.» u ti! Grot, hegget Uey ,nllg , lusband. That is a false accusation. It sn't true that women have less leed for college educations simply jecause most of them do not make irofessional use of their college rears. Among· my personal friends, 've observed that college women ind better jobs faster than the ollege men. Most men leave col ege with the feeling that four rears of higher education entitles hem to big-salary jobs, whereas vomen usually leave college feei ng that the advanced education etter prepares them for the re ponsibility ahead. I think that women have equal dvantages in every couejro acuv ;y seemingly dominated by men. The crinoline era is pone: the.sc lays when college-girls meet for heir Lipton Tea parties each ifternoon, their prime interest sn't the campus hero but their iwn futures in a working world. Of course, it's all up to the in lividual. A co-ed can—as some lo—labor to receive her diploma md husband on the same day. But ven then, she can use her educa ion to become a more suitable wife ο her college-educated husband. !he will also be better al<L> to ;uide the educations of her chii iren. But the opportunities are there; he advantages are hers. She has nly to know what she wants from ife — professionally and person ,lly—and then work at it in a col sge-world free of educational dis riminations. bilities. And is not intelligent irticipation in governing a ong them? Men were given in ividual minds and desires ught not they have a light to )ice them? Democracy is a system with aws, beeäuse through, tin- age* en have erred and do err. and democracy is only as right a· s people. Democracy is abk ι abolish its principles by its tvn excess. A cynic spoke the truth about when he said that democracy in make each man his own up ressor. Yet, I believe that great r men have said a truer thing bout democracy: that the peo le's government cannot—shal ot perish from the earth. •Mt. Tabor Baptist Rev. P. 0.
