The educational part of the pro gram included a study of the flag and its history and use, including correct methods of display in public places. After a business session a rec reational hour was enjoyed. The hostess, assisted by several of the scouts, served dainty refreshments. In a three-hour speech in the ate, Senator Norris said: “This is local matter; this is a national Conflrmation of this nominee of notorious Hague machine will be re-1 ceived with shame and condemnation! by the liberty-loving people of this j nation.” Those favoring this nomi nation were challenged to give their reasons, but except for a few re marks by Senator McCarran of Ne vada, they remained silent Senator Smathers of New Jersey, chief sup porter of the candidate, said that he would not make a two-hour speech he had prepared in order to save time and permit the senate to vote. When the vote was taken, only one Republican voted for Meaney and only one Democrat voted against him. The nomination was therefore confirmed by a vote of 39 to 20. An equally pointed example of “politics first” was displayed in the house of representatives when .its members agreed to lop off more than half of the appropriation requested ' for the Office of Price Administra- 'tion. Leon Henderson, head of the OPA, had estimated that he would need $161,000,000 to carry on the work of his office during the next year, but after only- a. cursory analy sis of his needs the house voted to cut his appropriation to $75,000,000. It was evident that this cut was made, not as a means of reducing government costs, but to punish Mr. Henderson for his unwillingness to play politics. Mr. Henderson now employs 34,576 people in Washington, in the field and on rationing boards and esti mates that to do his job adequately he will need to employ 88,000 people during the coming year. But Mr. pmbUe fe at the eight e’efeck, by the will be to a bat a silver eight. Jaljr It, at City.

During the evening the hon- oree was presented many lovely and useful gifts. .

This indi cates clearly that the tax bill now before congress should be the start, and not the conclusion, of the war time revenue however, that nd^matter how vigor ous the tax policy, it will still be nec essary to borrow many billions dur ing the fiscal year 1N3.” NOTICE OF REGISTRATION The Laurens County Board of Reg istration. will visit the following plac es for the purpose of receiving appli cations for certificates to vote in the general election: k£r rved a wedding anniversary July Kate B.
