WEDNESDAY, MAY 3
“WITHOUT HONOR”
With Laraine Day and Dane Clark
were iris, gladioli, snapdragons and
carnations in artistic array. The
beautiful appointed table in the din
ing room was centered with a crystal
epergne filled with snapdragons, fern
and blue phlox interspersed with
white lighted tapers. This arrange
ment was flanked with crystal can-
I delabra florally adorned and hold-
' ing lighted tapers. Chicken salad
sandwiches, nuts, punch and cakes
decorated with pink roses were
served. About two hundred and fifty
guests called during the appointed
"hours.
Cancer Drive Now
Underway In County,
Goal Is $6,500
Mrs. Sarah D. DeLoach, Laurens
county commander for the American
Society ‘for Control of Cancer, an
nounces fhe annual campaign for
funds.
R. B. Heilams, president of the
Clinton Exchange club, and mem
bers of the organization will sponsor
the drive here.
The goal for the county is $6,500,
and Clinton’s share‘is $2,000.
Assisting in the courtesies of en
tertaining were Mrs. Hugh Jacobs,
.VMrs. W. P. Jafcobs, III, Mrs. Harry
McSween, Mrs. Robert E. Wysor,
III, Miss Elizabeth Wysor, Mrs. Gor
don Goodale, Mrs. Rufus Sadler, Mrs.
E. N. Sullivan, Mrs. Bob Black, Mrs.
Caldwell Henderson, Mrs. Powell
Fraser, Mrs. Thomas Baldwin, Mrs.
Marion Milam, of Laurens, Mrs. Mi
chael Turner of Joanna, Mrs. Ed
ward Ferguson, Mrs. Lawrence Fer
guson, Mrs. Tommy Hollis, Mrs.
Pringle Copeland, Jr., Mrs. W. M.
Shields, Miss Margie Smith of Kl»
nards, and Miss Myra Adair.
J. C. Boyce, superintendent of
Clinton Cotton Mill, and Walter
Danhoflf, superintendent of Lydia
Mill, will head the drive for the re
spective mills.
“There is no more worthy cause,”
Mrs. DeLoach says, “than raising
funds for relief research and cur£ of
this dread disease. One out of every
five die of cancer, or 20 million now
livdng in the United States will die
of the disease. What will you do now
to help the cause?
“Cancer can strike anyone. But
you can strike back! Give! Do not
wait to be solicited. Make your con
tribution to Mr. Heilams or some
and more conductive to abundant
production of farm crops, yielding
a fair return to farmers and selling
at prices consumers can afford.'
What the message speHa out is enact
ment of the Brannon agricultural
program.
Senate debate on the displaced per
sons measure was one of the most
bitterly fought in the session. It was
taken up early in Mar'.h and saw a
continuous wrangle over more than
80 amendments proposed to the Mc-
Carran bill, many of them by Sena
tor McCarran himself, in an effor^
to save his own bill. During the
hours of debate party lines were re
peatedly shattered and the margin
of victory with few exceptions was
narrow. So confused were the sen
ators that shortly after dinner one
evening Senator Taft of Ohio dis
covered the senate had amended a
section of the bill which did not
exist, as it had been knocked out
already. So the senate had to back
up and start over. The bill as fin
ally passed differs slightly from an
already-passed house bill.
It provides for admission of 344,000
displaced persons through July l,
1951; permits entry of 20,000 war or
phans from all European countries
on a non-quota basis; includes in the
total number 4,000 Chinese refugees,
j 19,000 Polish army veterans now in
J England,- 10,000 Greek refugees, 5,-
I 000 former residents of Venezia-Gui-
La and 57,744 Germans; denies visas
; to any person who has supported, or
| does support any political or econ
omic system directed toward over
throw of free cortipetitive enterprise.

Washington, April 24—President
Truman won hi^ first complete ma
jor victory in the second session of
the 81st congress when- the senate,
by a vote of 49 to 25, passed the
Kilgore liberalized displaced persons
act which was substituted for the
measure backed by Sen. Pat McCar
ran of Nevada.
In signing, under protest, the bill
which would give temporary relief
to acreage restrictions for cotton and
peanut growers and which attempts
to remedy the potato situation in
1951, President Truman sent a spe
cial agricultural message to the con
gress, which gave rise to rumors
‘.'.at this congress may st.ll try to
do something about a long-range ag
ricultural program.
Said the President: “What is need
ed is for the congress, to approach
this problem with a view to correct
ing the fundamental shortcomings
in the present farm program ra’her
than patching it up with makeshift
legislation.
“In spite of the shortcomings of
the present joint resolution, I have
decided that the urgent need for
the relief which it will give to cot
ton producers, and the promise that
it holds out for making some im
provement in the potato program
outweigh the defects of the meas
ure.
“I again urge the cpngress to au
thorizes system of production pay
ments for potatoes and other perish
able commodities so that unavoid
ably surpluses can be sold to con
sumers and used instead of taken off
the market and largely wasted . . .
“We face no small task in provid
ing a system of agricultural legisla
tion which will serve the needs of
/armers for a fair income and will, at
the same time, serve the needs of
consumers for ample supplies of
food, fibers and other crops at rea
sonable prices, and the needs of the
whole nation for a growing, expand
ingeconomy and a healthy world
trade.
“I urge the congress to proceed
to consider fundamental improve
ments in our agricultural legislation
to make it more efficient, less costly
