Ever-Ready Class To Meet The members of the Ladies Ever-j Ready class of the Methodist church will meet Tuesday evening at 7:00! o’clock at the church. The'meeting will be the quarterly business ses- ( sion of the class, and the group, with the Woman’s Society of Chris tian Service, will unite for their combined Christmas party. Mrs. J. M. Ross and Mrs. James' Simpson have planned an interest ing program centered around the Christmas theme. All members of the class and so- city are invited to be present. SPECTATOR to propose that Mr. Byrnes thrbw himself into the turmoil of the sen atorial race. It is his old ground, of course, and he knows his way about with an amazing sagacity, but this race promises to become a slugging match of young men who can speak in Beaufort, Charleston, Conway, and Greenville the same day, and maintain that pace .six days a week, speaking several times a day over the radio by way of relaxation. Those who battle against the foll ies of Mr. Truman should study all his proposals and all his works so as to prove how unsafe he is. In my opinion he thinks he is doing great and wonderful things; and the unreflecting man may stand by him because the loaves and fishes are an attraction beyond all doubt. When you dangle something before a man, a free living, a good pen sion—and all the other things Mr. Truman proposes, the allure of all that is like the glitter of ten-rent store jewelry which looks like dia monds in a gold setting, until the Reedy River Association Meets The Woman’s Missionary union of the Reedy River association held the annual meeting at the Joanna Bap tist church last Wednesday. The meeting opened at 10:30 a m. and adjourned at 3:00 p.m. Mrs. John Earl Smith, superintendent of the union, presided over the meeting. Special music was rendered by Mrs. Caldwell Henderson, Clinton, violinist; Mrs. Carson Nabors, Jo anna, and Rev. Joe Walker of Glenn Street Baptist church of Newberry, organist, and Rev. Alvin Boone of Hunt Memorial church of Newberry, soloist. During the lunch hour the hostess church served a salad course with sandwiches and coffee at Joanna club. Eighty-six ladies were present. Woman's ( lab Has Party The Joanna Woman’s club held its annual Christmas party during the social hour of the December meeting, with 100 members present, last Thursday night. The program chairman and hei committee, with the assistance of club Tnembers, presented a beautiful pantomime, The Birth of Christ.” G. N. Foy, school superintendent, used a colored spotlight on the va rious scenes. Throughout the club rooms the traditional Christmas colors pre vailed. In the assembly room, from a beautifully decorated tree, each member received a gift from her “Joanna sister.” Santa Claus was Well, you never pan tell, can you? A letter from Spartanburg—an un signed letter—asks why I don’t sug gest James F. Byrnes for the Sen ate. My correspondent reminds me of Mr. Byrnes’ service in the Sen ate and thinks that he would be a happy choice. Obviously my cor respondent is not a supporter o! Senator Johnston or Governor Thur mond. The suggestion of James F. Byrnes for the Senate must certainly have occurred to many others, but my friend of Spartanburg has expressed his personal preference, though he may not have considered all the poli tical explosions that would result. Incidentafly he doesn’t endorse Sen ator Maybank, either, and suggests that Mr. Byrnes would raise the shine wears off. Now, if the glisten ing bauble will gleam for three months it may deceive the casual person; and so Mr Truman's ideas. England isjjBjfering all man ner of hardships Men while spend ing our billions: Poor Mr. Truman is trying to modernize Ponce de Le on. Old Ponce only tried to live like Methuselah, and failed for some icason; whereas Mr. Truman decides that we can grow richer by spending more than we have. Even old King Canute failed when he tried to stop the tide from coming in. I admit that Mr. Truman oecupa- pies a more powerful position than King Canute or Ponce de Leon, but there are natural forces that he cannot change: the best that he do is to brandish his weapons like old Don Quixote at the Windmills, unless he can do as a Westerner claims: petrify the laws of nature and hold everything until he has his fling. We remember, as Church- folk. that Joshua caused the sun to stand still, but Mr. Truman njay not be a Joshua. If I treat this flippantly .t is a sort of emotional release I do not I regard our course lightly vVe are letting too many hare-brained sch- ems be tried As I’ve said repea'ed- !y, Mr. Truman is in the hands o’ Congress, if the Cohgress will have the enlightened patriotism and cou rage to act as the vital, permanent interests of the Nation require Am erica is suffering because Congress ,, lay a*, its job, instead of perform ing its duty fully, not merely trim ming a bit here and there ♦ 4 Search thine own heart: What paia- eth thee In others, in thyself may be; All dust is frail, all flesh is weak; Be thou the true man thou dost seek —Whittier. Truth is within ourselves' it takes no rise From outward th.ngs, whate'er you may believe —Browning.
