April 7.— The aver age South Carolina congressman is a 51-year-old Protestant lawyer who is now in his 11th year in Washington, but. who, despite the delegation’s three committee chair manships, ranks only seventh on the one-and-a-half committees to which he is assigned. These and other facts about the South Carolina delegation are re vealed in the current issue of the Congressional Directory, a handy guide to w'ho’s who in Washington, i The average, of course, applies to n6 specific member but is a com posite of' the eight individuals who I make up the present delegation as listed in their biographical sketches and other data.^ «~i The only individual facts which apply to every member are: (1) he is married. (2> a father, (3) a Ma son. and (4> to the surprise of no one. a Democrat. Several items apply to seven members of the delegation but not to the eight. For instance, all ex cept Representative L. Mendel Riv ers of Charleston are war veterans and members of the American ^ Legion: all except Representative W J. Bryan Dorn of Greenwood are college graduates: all except Representative John L.

Ladies' Hats This Season Are Feminine and Gay — • Rock Hill, April 16—It has been a long time since ladies’ hats have been so feminine and so gay as those designed for this season, ac cording to Miss Portia Seabrook, extension clothing specialist, Win- throp college. She points out that manufacturers are featuring new tailored toyos, piques, sewn straws, sisals, cotton lace and veiled hats with velvet touches. They are al so making a feature of the large cartwheel in smooth and sewn straws with summer accents of draped veiling and simple velvet and grosgrain bow trimmings, she adds Thu is a season of color and seldom has color registered more importantly.** Miss Seabrook states. ‘White is a leader, and in many caaes outsells either black or navy, especially in narrow straw braids and some fabrics such as pique Black and navy are good as always, but pot as far ahead of other col - ors as tn past seasons There u a continued demand for an entire range of pastels, with pink as a leader. Natural wheat t ones, bright yellow and purples are worn bright yellow and purples are worn Two color combinations with navy and white and red and white leading especially ta terns, m pique taffrts other material*, are tn | ors particularly in shiny, hand- woven straws are popular in tweed and gingham patterns. Best sell ing mixtures are red and white; navy, red and white: green and yellow; brown and yellow; and mottled combinations of blue, pink and white. "White is out in front. Narrow- brimmed pique bonnets, ’ jockey caps, and small helmets with irreg- 1 ular outline are early summer of ferings. White carries through in some of the more tailored straws. They are given feminine, sheer ap pearance with white veiling, nylon net, and white lace trimming for a feeling of coolness. "A very popular number is the little half-hat made completely of whity pique petals with tiny jewel trimming. The daisy cap is done in scalloped design. White pique daisies have brig'ht yellow centers. u The fluted brim with slight front ’ lift in white, narrow-sewn, straw braid has the brim pleated at the • side. "White with velvet is next in line to all white. Small cloches in fashion with tiny velvet bands and white lace are trimmed in tailored side bows or velvet buttons topping- the crown. Tiny velvet bows for balanced side effects ands black ^ velvet loops forming narrow front " brims are effective. Velvet-edged white pillboxes with jeweled orna ment are worn level on the head.

Representative Bryson won his law degree there after un dergraduate work at Furman. Rep resentative Richards finished his undergraduate work at the univer sity after first attending Clemson. Representative McMillan won bach elor and law degrees there after j first attending the University of North Carolina, and Representative Rivers left the College of Charles- ! ton to enter the university. Wof ford also claims Representative Ril ey as an alumnus, and the College of Charleston is Maybank's alma mater. Three members hold honorary degrees — Maybank from the ) College of Charleston and Presby terian college. Johnston from Bob Jones university and Bryson from 1 Furman. In congress, the relatively low average committee ranking of the delegation is due principally to loss of seniority suffered by Represen tatives Riley and Dorn, because they did not serve in the 81st con gress. Riley returned this year to become the 29th ranking member of the house appropriations com mittee, while Dom holds the 11th and 13th seats on executive ex penditures and veterans affairs, re spectively. Except for those low ranks, the delegation’s committee standing is relatively high. Senator Maybank is chairman of banking and cur rency, ranks seventh on appropria tions, Senator Johnston is chairman of post office and civil service and ranks second on District of Colum bia and third on agriculture, and Representative McMillan is chair man of the house district committee and fifth on agriculture. Representative Richards, No. 2 man on foreign affairs, actually has served during all of the current session as chairman because of the illness of Chairman John Kee (D- WVa). Representative Bryson oc cupies the No. 4 seat on judiciary, and Representative Rivers it sev enth rung on armed services. ■ ——■■ CALL 74 PM YOUR PRINTING AND OFFICE SUPPLY NEEDS jet's see what it means to own a Roadmaster. It means, first of all. that you're a shrewd judge of fine manufacture. Nowhere will you find a mecha nism more skilfully fitted part to part with scrupu lous precision—engineered to stricter standards of fine-car quality—than the deep-framed and durable Roadmaster chassis. It means, also, that you possess keen apprecia tion of everything that makes for unsurpassed performance. For there's more to this dazzling beauty than its thrilling take-off. There's the surplus of power that you need to make you the master of busy traffic or open road—plus the velvet magic of Dynaflow Drive (at no extra cost, mind you). There's the level-going luxury of ample roadweight buoyantly balanced on coil springs on every wheel —and the security of brakes specifically engineered for firm control of this great-powered beauty. Tvo. I. HENRY J. TAYLOR, ABC N.twori, wry Monday tv.ning. But there's still another distinction to being r Roadmaster owner. It marks you as one who buys wisely and well. Size for size, pound for pound, feature for feature, few cars can even approach what your dollars will buy in this finest of Buicks. There’s much more to be discovered by a visit to any Buick dealer's showroom. There’s the sumptuous softness of cushions, the custom excellence of fabrics and interior trim, the grace and charm of every line and contour. So if you've dreamed of sometime owning a cap superbly fine, there's no time like the present— and no car like Roadmaster for making dreams come true. % y « / < LAURENS MOTOR COMPANY Zarick Street >*• Laurens, S.
