WHITE LOTUS
By John Hersey
< J? h , n Hersey’s new novel,
White Lotus,” is set at a
Period in history after the
United States has lost a
great "Yellow War,” and
after the victors have trans
ported thousands of Ameri
cans to the Orient as slaves
One such victim is the girl
called White Lotus. Born in
Arizona and only 15 years
old as her story begins, she
finds herself growing up a
slave in a strange land. At
first she remains docile,
keeping and knowing her
place. Later she becomes
a leader in the effort of the
whites to win a measure of
freedom and equality.
Mr. Hersey puts to good
use in his new book his spe
cial knowledge of the Far
East. Born in China of
American parents, he spent
most of his first eleven years
there. The picture he pre
sents of pre - Communist
Chinese life has been de
scribed as “unsurpassed by
any American portrayal
since the early work of Pearl
Buck.”
“White Lotus” takes place
at an unspecified time, curi
ously resembling both the
19th century and future
decades of the 20th.
The characters and lives
of men determine the peace,
prosperity, and life of na
tions.

Sure.
You might find another car
as new as the Delta 88.
But not this year.
This is Oldsmobile's Delta 88. It's unique. Unique because it's new.
New clear through.
Styling is new. So new, not a line nor a highlight was borrowed from last year.
Power plant is new. Super Rocket V-8 is the biggest in Olds history:
425-cubic-inches big, up to 370-horses strong.
Transmission is new, too. Turb? Hydra-Matic, available on any Delta 88,
provides up to 40% more torque from a standing start, superlative performance
at all speeds.
New styling. New engine. New transmission. This year, only Delta 88 lets
you have all three, off new. Other cars have a lot of catching up to do.

The Caribbean—with a French Accent
r "
^^■i
>'■ * J T
Fort Royal’s beach at Guadeloupe, the France of the Caribbean.
France isn’t as far away as
you think. It is, in fact, as near
as the eastern Caribbean, as
near as tl\e emerald isle of
Guadeloupe.
Just as Hawaii is a part of
the United States, Guadeloupe
is a part of France. It has no
“natives”; everyone is a full
citizen of the French Republic.
It speaks French, acts French,
thinks French. What’s more,
it’s a free port for shopping a
la Fransaise.
Modern travelers call Guade
loupe “the butterfly of the
Caribbean,” because it is actu
ally two wing-like islands sepa
rated by a diminutive river. On
the western half, Basse-Terre,
where the Fort Royal Hotel has
just been built near the deep
water harbor of Deshaies (Day
hay), a rugged mountain chain
covered with magnificent tropi
cal forests, splashing rivers and
giant waterfalls, extends far
south to the sleeping volcano of
La Soufriere.
Perched on an “out of this
world” site, a promontory be
tween two unusually fine
beaches bordering the Carib
bean, the new hotel has hand
some accommodations for 200,
English-speaking staff, excep
tional French cuisine, and a
unique swimming pool. It’s al
ready the favorite headquar
ters for visitors in search of
the different, the amusing, the
sun-drenched, the grand, and
the foreign.
Set of Chains Said Best
Bet for Winter Drivers
Snow tires or chains? Con
sider buying both, but if
you’re trying to decide which
is best, snow tires can’t equal
the performance of chains,
especially reinforced chains,
reports Changing Times.
This advice is backed up
by the fact that regular tires
would stop a car traveling at
20 mph over loosely packed
snow in 60 feet. Snow tires
would cut the distance only
to 52 feet. Regular chains
would halt the car in 46 feet,
and reinforced chains in 38
feet.
As for traction, snow tires
are 51% better than regular
tires over packed snow, while
reinforced links give you
313% more pulling power.
Along with these facts in
“The Changing Times Calen
dar and Engagement Book,”
published this month for
1965, is also a word for snow
tires:
“In all fairness to snow
tires and percentages aside,
they may give you all the
extra traction you will need
in many cases when regular
tires fail. The distinct ad
vantage of snow tires is that
you already have them on
the car when you need them.
But for the most treacherous
road conditions, chains may
be the only thing that can
start and stop your car ef
fectively.
“Regardless of which you
buy, shop early in the sea
son. Prices tend to climb at
the first sign of snow.”

Sore Throats
Strange as it may seem, salt
Herring, bear grease, sauer
kraut juice, a sour pickle ami
hot rum spiked with gun pow
der were once considered
“cures” for a sore throat.
While all of these remedies
now sound hilarious, they under
score the fact that sore throats
are not a modern invention —
the first caveman caught in a
sudden thunderstorm probably
suffered one.
But, a sore throat itself is not
a laughing matter. Frequently,
it may be the warning sign for
a more serious illness or it could
develop into a life endangering
illness.
Fortunately, today physicians
have antibiotics to treat serious
throat infec
tions which pa
tients in earlier
times endured
as they ran
their normal
course. We now

terial flora present in the mouth
and throat.
One of the most important of
these medications is a relatively
new non-prescrlption, anesthetic
(pain killing) and antiseptic
(germ killing) oral solution
named Chloraseptic, which is
available in drugstores. This
solution was found to be “very
effective in relieving the pain
and discomfort of sore throats
from a variety of causes," ac
cording to Dr. Julian W. Giles of
the Veterans Administration
Hospital in Tuskegee, Alabama.
More than 200 patients were
treated with Chloraseptic in this
study and all reported that they
obtained relief from throat pain.
This is only one of a number
of studies confirming the pain
relieving value of this Important
oral solution.
As the cold weather ap
proaches many parts of the
country, colds and sore throats
become more common. If you
suffer the symptoms of a minor
sore throat, bed rest, fluids,
aspirin, and Chloraseptic to re
lieve sore throat discomfort
may be used. However, and this
is very important, if you have
a fever, or the cold or sore throat
is not of short duration, you
must consult your family doctor.

Tax Table
May Be Used
On Sales Tax
Georgia taxpayers may
use a state sales tax table
as a guideline when filing
their 1964 Federal income
tax returns. A. C. Ross, Dis
trict Director of Internal
Revenue said the table is
now available.
The table shows the aver
age amount of state sales tax
paid by Georgia residents
and may be used by taxpay
ers who itemize their Fed
eral income tax deductions.
“For the first time since
1960 when the tables were
originally issued, there has
been a general revision of
the amounts,” Mr. Ross said.
The new tables omit the
state sales tax on automo-'
biles purchased, thus pro
viding a uniform treatment
of this item for all states.
Now taxpayers who purchase
an automobile may add the
sales taxes paid on the pur-
The Summerville News, Thurs., Jan. 14, 1365
chase to the amount shown
in the table.
The result of the revisions,
particularly the elimination
of the allowance for autos,
has reduced the amount
shown on the sales tax
tables. The new tables, how
ever, are a more accurate
measure of the average sales
tax paid in the various
states.
Internal Revenue reminds
taxpayers that these tables
are not required to be used.
They are furnished as a
guide for the convenience of
taxpayers who itemize de
ductions on their Federal in
come tax returns but who
wish to use a “standard”
amount for state sales tax
which will not require de
tailed substantiation. Tax
payers have the choice, of
course, of deducting the ac
tual amount of state sales
taxes paid.
Forget self in laboring for
mankind.
