o’clock at the church. The'meeting

sion of the class, and the group,
with the Woman’s Society of Chris
tian Service, will unite for their

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
