National Education Week
This is National Education Week
sponsored by the National Education
Association with tne object of bring
ing the public schools and commun
ities closer together. Parents and
others are invited to visit the schools,
to gain first hand information and
tht ooservanre would cr. ist the m-
terosl of the ge • .u public in sup
porting edu ipn more generously.
The theme for the 1950 Week is
“Government o',’By and For the
Pt pie ’ a then? trial should ever
demand our attention, and to im-
piess upon the people "The Meaning
c: the Ballot.”
The Ohio Fight Fails
It should be good news tojhe Am-
e -n people, irrespective of party
lint-, that Senator Robert A. Taft
Tt ■ his light .1 Tuesday's e’ertion
f re-e.ection The eyes of the na-
t n in recent . eek.'. have bedn fa
cia-ed on Ohio
Taft was the target of the great-
e.-t single state drive ever made by
anized labor. Reports state that
..mited money was pourea into
>tate and CiO literature hoping
- .veep him out of the senate. Tne
issue wjs not one of Taft and his
opponent. It was whether we want
01
U:
\
to
prove their form of government. The
President should give his reasons if
he can, for such inconsistent attitude.
When we look at the situation to
day because of the Korean war, we
must recognize that Spain would be
an extremely important fortifica
tion for us. It should be brought into
tne dofe - ; ve lineup against possible
Russian attack in Europe. Common
sense tells us that it is time to gather
all of the anti-Communist countries
,\e can into our defense program. If
and when Russia decides to overrun
western Europe a tremendous vol-
umn of air power will be required to
combat that crisis. Those who have
visited the Korean battlefronts
strongly emphasize the importance
of our becoming masters of the air.
Where this great air force would
be assmbled and prepared for bus
iness, is a big question. England
would be under heavy bombardment
from the moment Russia decided to
strike. In the last war she was our
assembly ground In the next war
she would be untenable.
Those who should know tell us that
there apears to be only one con
ceivable beach-head for our troops
in the event of war with Russia, and
that is tne Spanish peninsula. If that
ed the 33rd annual meeting of the
1 South Carolina Tuberculosis associ-
i ation in Columbia on October 26.
The principal address of the eve-
; ning was made by Justice G. Dewey
’ Oxner, president of the association.
I The regular election of directors for
1' the state association was held. At a
luncheon which followed the busi
ness meeting Dr. Robert F. Poole 01
CIcmson college, state seal sale chair
man, discussed plans for the cam
paign in the counties.
Those attending from this county
were Mrs. J. Hamp Stone of Clinton,
a director of the county association;
Mrs. John Carey Bolt, of Gray Court,
also a director; Mrs. Melvin G. Feins,
of Laurens, secretary; W. K. Waits,
of Joanna, first vice-president; and
Mrs. R. L. Gray, of Laurens, execu
tive secretary.

After Eosy Money
choice of Champion*
According to The Gaffney Ledger,
a college president was very much
shocked when in reply to a question,
Why are you going to college"? 9a
per cent of the students answered:
"So we can make more money and
do ess,hard work.” That is the feel
ing abroad in the land today every
where.
One cannot believe that all of
those who answered the question in
this manner meant it. Some of them
answered perhaps in a jocular way.
But it brings to mind a statement
made recently by the head of a bus
iness concern in a Large Southern
city He said his organization feel
ing the need of some young blood in
it. selected three honor graduates
from Southern colleges and brought
them into the organization to train
them for executive positions.
Not a one of the three made good,
he said, and he gave as the reason
that they seemed more interested ap
parently in getting salary raises than
they were in their work. He said all
three began to clamor for raises
after being with the company only
a very short time and that none
of tne group seemed inclined to ap
ply themselves diligently to their
work.
The conclusion apparently would
oc that the young men were imbibed
too much with the present atmos
phere ot "something for nothing”
for which government is responsible.
Spoin Con Help Us
The United Nations has wisely lift

Soviet protests it also voted to allow
'Spam to join U.N. specialized agen

postal organizations.
49 out off 86
champion truck drivers choose Dodge!
Champion drivers know champion trucks!
The nation's state champions . . . with proved reputations for safety
records and driving skill . . . competed recently in New York at the
National Truck Roadeo. Given the privilege of driving any make
truck, these champions seleaed Dodge for national competition by
more than 2 to 1 over all other makes combined!
In the events in which Dodge trucks
participated, 6 out of 9 national win
ners drove Dodge "Job-Rated” trucks.
The champions selected Dodge for
these tough tests because of "its extra
visibility, its great maneuverability, good
braking, and ease of handling.” So, take
a tip from the men who know: drive a
Dodge "Job-Rated” Truck!
FIRST TROPHY in the Straight Truck Class was won by Richard Wold,
Glendenning Motorways, Inc., St. Paul. Wold, Minnesota Sute Champion,
drove a Dodge GA-152 1 Vi-ton "Job-Rated” Truck.

Trailer Class was won by O. E. Chapman,
Pacific Intermountain Express, Oakland, Calif.
Chapman, Colorado State Champion, drove a
Dodge YA-142 4-ton "Job-Rated” Truck.
While the United States supported
ithe resolution, President Trum'an
told a news conference that it will
be a long, long time before this
country sends an ambassador to
Spain. He did not give the reason,
but apparently he is unwilling to
resume diplomatic relations with the
Madrid government even though the
United Nations has voted to lift the
ban on sending ambassadors or min
isters to Spain. Franco was a bene
ficiary of Hitler’s Nazi Germany and
Mussolini’s Fascist Italy in the last
•war it is true. It was for this reason
that Spain was not allowed member
ship in the United Nations and has
been boycotted by its members. Such
a position is now inconsistent, ax the
United Nations no doubt realizes.
The totalitarian government of Stalin
is one of the principal members of
the world peace organization, and
there has been no ban against send
ing diplomatic representatives to
Moscow, or to other Communist gov
ernments under Soviet domination.
We have an ambassador in Moscow,
but that does not imply that we ap-
