May. 29.—Actual opera tion of the state-wide program which has been outlined as “a movement for the good of South Carolina,” and which has adopted the slogan of “Do it for South Carolina." is being given hard study at the headquarters in Co lumbia. Pitfalls which have been uncovered by other organizations are being avoided, the successes which have been made elsewhere have been analy zed and In particular, care is being taken to develop a method of opera tion which shall be the extreme in simplicity, certainty and practicabil ity. * Out of this determination to guaran tee success from the outset, to do no^ experimenting, has grown what is al ready being referred to in other states as the'South Carolina plan. In brief, it is the named commission charged with a specific undertaking. This is an adaptation of the special commit tee method of getting things done which has been developed by the mod ern civic-commercial organiation. This plan has been worked on and worked at until it has reached a stage of perfection which apparently leaves little more to be done to 'It. Definite Promises of Action For this reason the South Carolina Development Board is announcing its Intention of creating a number of commissions, which in effect will be special committees, feels that it can make detinue promises of action, speedy and satisfactory, on the pro- j Jects which It may undertake. In order that the plans may em- jbody the best thought of South Caro- I linians, there have been a number of , conferences in the past week between Governor Robert A. Cooper, Senator Nils Christensen and others, who have visited several places and have spent many hours in consultation with men I who have been thinking about the economic future of their home state. An incidental result of these confer ences has been the enlistment of r considerable ney group of men as ac live supporters of the movement. It was said at the headquarters on Sat urday. As outlined at present, the tenta live program of the hoard suggests | the naming of 18 commissioners, as j follows: Markets, live stock and live (stock credits, live stock sanitation. | grains, grasses and forage, rates and transportation, farm labor, land settle ! merit, community life, publicity, legis- of the best bruins in the state think {SURGEON’S FEE $1 MINUTE, Ing and working "for the good o: HOTEL MA£ PAYS $1,000 South Carolina.''

It will be noted that these deal mainly with the agrciuHural of South \ Carolina. The thought behind this ha.» I been expressed by Govemor Cooper, I who is chairman of the state commit tee which has lyidrtaken an expansion of the development board, in these words: “The time has come when South Carolina must diversify agricultural activities and must make use of the varied natural resources. Our eco nomic life has been somewhat hap hazard. A continuance of this policy will surely bring grief to the state.” Best Brains in the State In the selection of a commission a i definiteplan will be followed. The chairman, for instance, will be the best Informed man on the subject In the state. He will call to his assist ance other men whose interest and knowledge make them particularly suited to the prosecution of a sneclflc Undertaking. Thus each commission will be composed of men who both I want a thing done and know how to ! get it done. It Is planned that each commission shall be composed of 12 members. Thought has been given to this, as to all other phases of the subject. Twelve members on each commission will! make It possible to give every section | of the state representation. It will i make places for the most expert men [ and it will so divide a task among j them that none will be burdened be- | yond his willingness to serve. ,Tn all cases the members of the com- | mission will give their services with- j out personal compensation.
