Textile Safety
Record Is Set In
Nine-Month Period
Columbia, August 22. — A new
record for safety among the textile
workers of South Csroyna was es
tablished during the nine months
period ending June 30, it was an
nounced today by John K. Cauthen,
executive vice-president of the
manufacturers association.
“Accidents occurred at only ap
proximately one-third the national
frequency and at about one-half
the same frequency they occurred
in South Carolina during the Same
period last year,” Cauthen report
ed.
He added that for the nine-
month period there wer 3.04 lost
time accidents per million hours as
against the national average of 9.9
in the textile industry. For the
same period last year the South
Carolina frequency was 6.0.
Cauthen said “the workers them
selves should of course, be given
credit for this phenomenal record.'*
He added that “a big assist was
given by a Safety Contest con
ducted among the mills, with 104
plants competing, under the chair
manship of Noel E. Williams of
Winnsboro Mills.”
Cauthen also paid tribute for the
improvement in South Carolina to
the fine influence of the annual
State Safety Conference sponsored
by the State Industrial Commis
sion.”

and Dr. D. J. Woods. Burial fol
lowed in Friendship churgh ceme

McElveen, Pierre Burdette and V.
P. Adair.
Mrs. Roseboro was a native of
Chesterfield county but had lived
here for the past seven years. Un
til recently she and Mr. Roseboro
made their home at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Dilard. Fol
lowing the death of Mrs. J. W.
Crawford the Roseboros had re
sided in the Crawford home.

Summer Conferences
Held At College,
Women Meet Here '54
Presbyterian college played host
to more than 250 young • South
Carolina Presbyterians during its
annual summer conference season
this year.
The program began early in
June with the opening of the
Young People’s Leadership School
of the Synod of South Carolina.
Some 150 teen-agers registered for
this school which was sponsored by
the Synod’s Religious Education
Committee and the Senior High
Council.
The college will play host to the
1954 Synodical Training School
for the Women of the Presbyterian
Church in South Carolina.
Mrs.‘W. R. Josey of Manning,
president of the state-wide group,
recently announced that the sev

conducted on the campus next

saved by the aboliiton of wars be

ing centuries, an increasing number
of thinkers became interested in in
ternational educational cooperation,
and this problem received wide
spread attention in the latter half of
the eighteenth century. In the nine
teenth century, more than thirty
plans were suggested for some sort
of international educational organ-
iation. In the latter part of this cen
tury, students began in significant
numbers to migrate across national
boundaries in quest of higher educa
tion. Many Americans studied In
German universities, and the Em
peror of Japan gave to each of some
of his line to be more than a bar
barian when he came to power in
1260. His fnilitary genius conquered
South China, which had defied his
grandfather, Genghis Khan. His ov
erlordship was acnowledged by the
Khans on the Volga, and by his bro
ther on the throne of Persia. No other
sovereign in history had ruled over
so many millions of subjects. He had
a quick and inquiring mind, was in
terested in the arts of peace, and
knew something of both Christianity
and Buddhism. Through two traders,
the Polo brothers of Venice, Kublai
invited the head of the Western
Church to send one hundred teachers
to China to give instruction in Chris
tianity and in the liberal arts. These
were to be given support and pres
tige by a court famous for its gen
erosity. The messengers reached Eu
rope in 1269 during the longest in
terregnum in papal history. When
a papal legate, Tedalde, counseled
patience, the brothers united two
years at Venice before starting the

Seven Changes In
College Faculty
For New Session
President Marshall W\ Brown
yesterday announced three new ap
pointments to the Presbyterian col
lege faculty, completing the staff
for the 1953-54 session.
The new men are:
-Charles E. Edge in English, re
placing John Stevenson, who is on
a year’s leave of absence for fur
ther study; R. Leon Hall in French,
replacing Albert Wallace; and Alex
R. Cruickshanks. who replaces
James Parthemos in the economics
department.
Four other appointments, an
nounced previously, which also be
gin this fall are: Taylor Martin,
mathematics; Elmore Herbert, bi-
otogy; William Crutchfield, assist
ant coach and physical education
instructor; and Lt. Col. Francis V.
Smith, professor of military science
and tactics.
Edge comes to the college from
Duke University where he has
spent the past two years at work
on his Ph^D. He received both his
B.A and Master’s degrees from the
University 0 f North Carolina and
taught three years at Emory Uni

American holders of these inter
national fellowships, as well as Am
erican students at home, have been
notably lacking in willingness to
study the languages, history, and
culture of the Orient. The United
States is now giving some financial
aid to eighty-seven of the ninety-
seven national states of the world,
but is profoundly ignorant of the
character and the culture of many
peoples whose cooperation we are
trying to win. When one American
force landed in 1950 to help the
South Koreans, the only one of some
10,000 American soldiers and sailors
who could speak to the natives who
met them at the beach, was a young
lieutenant commander", a Presbyter
ian college graduate whose parents
were missionaries. A well-known
Presbyterian educator who has been
for years a missionary in Iran tells
me that the United States State De
partment had three hundred em-
plyoees in Iran when we began our
efforts to influence Mossadegh in his
controversy with English oil inter
ests. Of these three hundred employ
ees, only two could converse in Per

Funds For New
P. C. DormNory
Near $100,000
The campaign to raise funds for
a new dormitory on the Presbyte
rian college campus is nearing the
two-thirds mark, with $98,155.68
paid and pledged by churches and
friends of the Synods of South
Carolina and Georgia.
The college is seeking $150,000
within the two supporting SynocU
to expand its dormitory facilities to
accommodate 100 additional stu
dents.
South Carolina congregations
have given or pledged $69 262.36 to
ward the Synod quota of $100,000,
and Georgia churches have re
sponded with $22,721.91 toward
their quota of $50,000. Other
friends have added $6,171.41.
Altogether, 223 churches with
in the two synods have indicated
some degree of participation in
the campaign to date, 109 of these
having paid their full quotas.
Meanwhile, the demand for ad
ditional dormitory space at the col
lege increases as the start of an
other session draws near. Ad
vance applications for admission
had reached an all-time high two
months ago, and strenuous efforts
are being made to provide for as,
many qualified applicants as pos-
side, it is stated.
