THE CLOTHMAKER Many Sons and Daughters to Leave for College Many Clinton-Lydia parents will soon see their sons and daughters off to colleges throughout South Carolina and to other states. A number of these young men and women have been employed in the plants during the summer vacation months. The work experience has been of lasting value to them. Money earned this summer will aid in the furtherance of their formal education this fall. Eight of these young people will receive $750.00 each this year as holders of Mercer Silas Bailey Scholarship Students. Three others will be able to advance their education through College Scholarship Loans from The Bailey Foundation. Parents of these young people are justly proud of this fine group, however, their return to school is met with mixed emotions. They are pleased that they were able to make this opportunity available but regret having them away from home for the semesters ahead. Every effort was made in an attempt to obtain a complete list of those going off to college. As in most instances it is almost impossible to get a complete list, so the following can be considered as only a partial list.

AMERICAN In the first week of September, the American people and their Red Cross will begin writing the 81st annual chapter of a story of humanity in action. It is a warm, continuing story of people helping each other when disaster strikes. The story began with the Michigan forest fires of late Aumist and narlv Si>ntnmhor 1881. For ten days, as thousands fled their homes in upper Michigan, men fought against the flames. Their battle ended only when rain lell on Sept. 10. The people then turned to counting their losses ? more than 125 dead, some $2,000,000 loss in crop and property, thousands facing the coming winter without homes, food or other means of livelihood. Under the direction of Clara Barton, its founder, the then four-month-old American Red Cross rushed in food, clothing and medical supplies. Even then, the Red Cross aid not only was to help disaster victims during the emergency but also to help them recover from their losses and start back along the road of normal living. Thr. f'lict (/V 1 tl ? Ti?wl ? ..v VV/JV iw HIV. HV.U V^l - $80,000 ? was, by today's standards f o r a disaster of that magnitude, almost infinitesimal.

During the past eight decades, while improving the means and speed with which needs of disaster victims are met AFTER THE FACT, the Red Cross has been giving increasing emphasis to BEFORE-THE-FACT community-wide disaster preparedness. Today, there is hardly a spot in this country that is not covered by a preparedness plan worked out in detail bv the Red Cross in full cooperation with federal and local government officials, private firms and other community agencies. The American Red Cross is a participating agency in the Clinton Community Chest. Flag . . . (Continued from p;?no 1) tion. No one knows for sure who designed the flag.

No matter who designed our flag, Francis Scott Key, who wrote the "Star Spangled Banner" phrased the words for all Americans everywhere: "... long may she wave, o'e the land of the free and the home of the brave."
