Tito Says Nation
Will Never Trust
Russians 100%
Pazin, Yugoslavia, June 14. —
President Tito said today this coun
try would welcome resumption of
the Russians, ‘but never again will
! we trust them 100 per cent.”
Almost five years after the So-
! viet-dominated cominform ousted
'Yugoslavia from its Eastern Euro
pean Communist Alliance, Tito told
, a mass meeting which officials
estimated was attended by 80,000
that the West need not fear the i
chance of this country’s return toj
the Kremlin’s camp.
“We do not change as the windj
blows,’ he cried.
The mass meeting was called to.

CLINTON. S. C.. THURSDAY, JUNE 18. 1953
The Two Leaders
Governor Byrnes has appointed
- a special committee to make a study
of the traffic problem in the state
n the hope of improving condi
tions and putting a cheek to the
number of accidents and deaths oc
curring on the highways. This is
the most serious problem we are
today confronting.
What their report will be we do
not know. We do know the two
leading causes of automobile acci
dents—speeding and driving under
the influence of intoxicating bev
erages. Put an end to these two
highway menaces and we will to
a large extent put an end to our dis
graceful highway carnage.
The Big Question
The inability of the Supreme
Court to rule on the five school seg
regation cases, heard last December,
raises the big $64 question, what
will it do when it makes up its
mind? A re-argument has been set
for next October. This decision,
following one postponement after
another, indicates that the court is
either bidding for more time or is
deeply divided with a majority of
the justices unable, to agree either
to sustain' the heretofore announced
position of the court, or to overrule
it. The decision plainly, there
fore, can go either for or against
segregation.
Court decisions cannot change the
traditions arid customs of ItTff
Southern people who are the best
friends the colored people possess,
and 90 per cent or more of them
know 'it. Regardless of the long
overdue decision whatever is to be
done in this state rests ultimaely
with the Geiyeral Assembly with
wise planning and studying need
ed. The paramount issue of the
Negro agitator spokesmen is not
equalizing of school facilities but
racial equality in general anri
breaking down all precedent in seg
regation which eve’ry informed per
son knows is best for both rdees.

An Unsung Hero
Father’s’ Day was founded in
1910 by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, of
Spokane, Wash., to honor fathers
everywhere. A look at the calen
dar and you will see that Sunday is
‘Hi-’’ a—4—th f - first
day of summer.
The ancient Greeks were first to
honor thei'r fathers with a special
holiday. Actually it was the spring
time festival dedicated to Zeus,
father of the gods. But after the
pagan ritual ended, it was custom
ary to present human fathers with
gifts, usually a cluster of ripe
grapes.
Probably the oldest tribute to a
father we are told is a clay tab
let written by Elmesu, a Babylon
ian, about 2,600 years BC. It be-
seeched the gods to grant his father
• good health and enduring days.”
Today, of course, heartfelt wish
es are conveyed by colorful Fath
er's Day greeting cards, instead of
clay tablets, and with gifts and let
ters expressing love and apprecia
tion from sons and daughters, be
ginning often with the little ones.
King Phillip of Macedonia, spent
his life training the invincible ar
mies with which his son, Alexan
der the Great, conquered the world
in early BC days.
Johann Strauss wrote over 400
beautiful waltzes, including “The
Blue Danube.” But 19th century
"Vienna also loved and honored his
father, an inspiring symphony con
ductor, and his two brothers, who
were well known composers, too.
In America the second president,
John Adams, was also the father of
the sixth president, John Quincy
Adams, and a Boston merchant,
Junius Spencer Morgan, opened a
brokerage office in 1854 .that be
came the world’s most powerful fi
nancial firm under his soiv John
Pierpont Morgan.
General Douglas MacArthur once
wrote: "By profession 1 am a sol
dier and take pride in that fact.
But I am prouder, infinitely proud
er, to be a father. A soldier de
stroys in order to build. fThe fath
er only builds, never destroys.”
Mark Twain expressed his senti
ments from a devoted son’s view
point: “When I was a lad of 14 I
thougnt my father very ignorant,
but by the time I had reached 21
I was amazed to find how much the
old man had learned in seven short
years.”
Jane Addams, beloved social
worker, remarked after Mother’s
Day began: “Poor father has been
left out in the cold. It would be a
good thing if he had a special day
that would mean recognition of
him.”
So much for ancient observances
and founding of Father’s Day 43
years ago by a loving, devoted
daughter, and expressions of appre
ciative sentiment by noted men and
women beginning back with the
Greeks and coming on up to the
present time.
The idea of “His” day started out
as a joke. Folks said it was just
another day set aside and popular
ized for its commercial appeal. But
that was not true for it has rapidly
grown from that beginning in senti
ment and interest though it has not,
and never will—rival in observance
with Mother’s Day which sets the
month of May apart.
Father has had many and varied
experiences as he has journeyed
down the road. These experiences
have brought him joy, happiness,
and great satisfaction, and often
times they have also brought h,im
disappointment, reverses, hardships,
heartaches and sorrow. He has had
his red and black letter days. If
he has been a true father, his chief
concern has been his family* the
growth, development and home
, and when a
son or daughter has gone the way
ward way—as so many do in this
turbulent age—it has brought him
l deep hearache.
When Dad looks on the calendar
! Sunday and reads—many__items he
sees in tije newspapers—he will
know that it is “His” day if his sons
and daughters are thoughtful of
him. He won’t do any bragging or
make any fuss about it. He will
! just go along in his usual routine
work if he is a faithful father. He
| has been through many uncertain,
difficult times, and most of them
have been about hj.s family, but he
has held his chin up and^weutherod'
the storm. Many a time in the past
he has taken a licking, and may
be called upon to take others. Of
tentimes he has gone to bed wor
ried, discouraged, feeling bad and
probably couldn't sleep, but he has
awakened smiling in the morning
!r?Td~started back at his job like a
man. Certainly that kind of a Dad
and provider is entitled to some
special honor and recognition.
Dad won’t say much about his
day, but down in his soul he will
do a lot of thinking. If there are
gifts fo him of course they will be
appreciated. But the evidence that
comes to him from his family that
he is loved, appreciated and re
spected will make him happier than
the family will ever know. He will
be spurred on with new courage,
new hope, and his heart will be
warmed to overflowing. With all
Of his shortcomings, “Dad” is the
family’s “unsung hero”—a great
champ.
