aweet at the skin and surprisingly tart near the center .. . Just
right to make a tangy Jelly ! Now, when Concords are in such plen-
tiful supply, try this tested recipe for homemade Grape Jelly. To
make 10 sparkling glasses, sugar, grape juice and pectin require
•nly a one-minute boil—what could be easier!

Palmetto Profile:
WALTER REGNERY
By Robert Smeltser In South Carolina Magasino
In South Carolina Mapaiiim
According to legend, cartoon
ists, and Hollywood producers, a
gold prospector is a stubble-jaw
ed old eccentric looking for a
pot of gold at the end of the rain
bow.
He spends his days grubbing
in the earth hoping to pick up a
great wealth, and his nights
dreaming of tomorrow.
Walter Regnery is no grey
beard, no eccentric and certainly
no rainbow chaser. But, though
he might deny it, he is a dream-
WALTER REGNERY
er of sorts. He dreamed, as a
^ student at Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology, of becoming
a mining engineer.
Instead he wound up as presi
dent of Joanna Cotton Mills
Company—a gold mine of a sort.
Biographically and statistically
Mr. Regnery was the last son
born to William H. Regnery and
Frances Susan Thrasher Reg
nery, both of Chicago.
That was in 1914.
He attended the public schools
of Hinsdale, Illinois, a Chicago
suburb, and won a degree in
mining and engineering from
M.I.T. in Boston.
During his summer vacation
he prospected for gold in the
wilds of northern Ontario. After
4 his graduation from college he
returned to Canada to develop
his mine holdings and soon be
gan to produce about 15 ounces
of gold per ton of rock. The ope
ration handled about 30 tons of
rock a day.
When the government made it
impractical to be a gold miner,
he came south with his wife, the
former Gertrude Kenny of Saulte
Ste. Marie, to work in his father’s
cotton mill at Joanna, (known
then as Goldville—appropriately
enough in this case!) S. C. Short
ly after, he became assistant
general manager.
When William A. Moorhead
was killed about five years ago
in an airplane crash, Mr. Reg-
nery succeeded him as vice-
president and general manager.
Gold mining is a highly over
rated occupation, according to
Mr. Regnery. In the first place,
once gold is found in the ground
it is extremely difficult to get
out. A lot of expensive machin
ery is required for a successful
operation and a big payroll also
is demanded. On top of that, the
cost of the machinery goes up
and so do wages. But the price
of the gold itself remains the
same. Then, after tons and tons
of rock have been processed, the
successful miner ends up with an
common building brick. This is
ingot not much larger than a
then turned over to Fort Knox
which in turn throws it back into
the ground, thus more effective
ly burying it than it was in the
first place.
Mr. Regnery was inclined to
believe that a lot of time and
money could be saved if the
prospector would simply notify
the government that gold was
discovered. The government
could then send a check to the
miner not to dig the gold out.
So the prospecting Regnery
decided to give it all up and
come South in his father’s busi
ness of textile manufacturing.
He arrived here in 1940 and im
mediately went to work learning
the textile industry.
Eventually he became presi
dent of Joanna Cotton Mills Co.,
one of the largest single units in
the country.
In the meantime, however, he
and Mrs. Regnery had four chil
dren. Kit, 8 years old, is the on
ly boy. The other three are
Mary Beth, 13; Jinx, 11, and Pat
ty, 4.
The family now lives in New
berry, about 15 miles from the
plant.
All this was accomplished in
just 40 years, but the ydung mill
president has done even more.
He has developed a new type

of spindle and bobbin which pro
vides greater cloth production.
When Joanna Mill used the old
type spindle the doffer ordinarily
could manage to attend to about
23 frames. With the new spindle
and aluminum bobbin the doffer
can easily handle up to 39.
With this technical background
and experience Mr. Regnery was
the ideal person to be named
chairman of the advisory com
mittee of the Institute of Textile
Technology. The institute is a
research organization established
10 years ago to solve problems
of production aifd technique for
member mills. Mr. Regnery is
also a board member of the insti.-
Kite.
He also belongs to the National
Cotton Council which consists of
growers, ginners, shippers, and
spinners. He is the South Caro
lina representative for the spin
ners.
In addition he is a collabora
tor, as they are called, of the
Southern Regional Research Lab
oratories pf the U. S. Department
of Agriculutre. This particular
organization develops new uses
for cotton.
The Joanna Mill is capitalized
at $2,000,000 and operates 103,-
176 spindles. It employes 1,700
persons. The original mill dates
back to the 1890’s. When the
Regnery family bought the mill
in 1938 it had only 25,000 spin
dles.
Today the company emphasizes
greater management - employee
relationships. The Joanna Foun
dation is a plan for community
betterment and is managed en
tirely by employees of the com
pany. Summer recreation pro
grams, social functions, chil
dren’s benefits and other employ
ee interests are endorsed by the
company through the foundation.
While speaking of the South
in a gneeral way, and of the tex
tile industry in particular, Mr.
Regnery said the entire picture is
changing rapidly. In the past
five years, according to him,
'techniques have improved tre
mendously. Heretofore the tex
tile industry had been too set in
its ways, he observed, but now
that research boards and labora
tories have been organized and
now that the South is realizing
its industrial importance there
is no limit to how far it can go.
An example of the new indus
trial South is Walter F. Regnary,
one-time gold miner and 40-year-
old president of Joanna Cotton
Mills Company.
For Better
Understanding
By JAMES C. KINARD
One of the most active inter-
eets of our service organizations
is the betterment of internation
al relations. Members realize
that to extend the hand of friend
ship across the sea is to contrib
ute to better understanding.
Out of White Plains, N. Y.,
comes the interesting story in
the New York Herald-Tribune
that the Rotarians there have
voted unanimously to sponsor
for admission to the United
States two German families.
These people courageously re
jected Communism and managed
to escape from East to We^t
Germany.
Such sponsorship involves a
moral obligation to see that the
newcomers shall be assured
homes in which to live, that they
shall have jobs at prevailing
wages and that they shall not
become dependent upon public
aid.
From all reports the heads of
these families are competently
trained to earn a comfortable liv
ing in this country and to make
valuable contributions to the
community in which they are to
live. These people will come to
America with everything in their
favor to become good citizens.
They will receive every encour
agement from the sponsoring
Rotarians and others.
A member is quoted assaying
that the White Plains club was
“proud to join with other* or
ganizations and individuals who
have sponsored the admission of
48,000 worthy people to our coun
try since 1953.’’
These new friends look to the
United Stales not as a haven of
refuge but as a land of opportun
ity and freedom for them. This
kind of service project is bound
to promote better understanding
between us and the other nations
of the world.

Flashes From Afield
Colleton, L. W. Alford—Colle
ton county farmers have shown
more interest than usual fri the
three crop-production contests
this year. Much of this interest
was created through the Farm and
Home Development program and
the increased number of agents
working in the county. There are
31 white and 24 Negro farmers
enrolled in the one-acre com con
test; 16 white and 19 negro farm
ers enrolled In the five-acre cot
ton contest, and 11* farmers in the
one-acre pasture contest.
Florence, J. T. Rogers — Soils
were analyzed on approximately
1,500 Florence county farms dur
ing the past winter and fall.
Farmers who followed the fertiliz
er recommendations for tobacco
production have been well pleased
with results obtained. It is be
lieved the demand for soil testing
and fertilizer recommendations
will be even greater this next year.

YOUNGSTER'S HEALTH IS
RESTORED BY DR. HART
Ware Shoals, S. C. — The story of
Geraldine Sweat, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Sweat of Ware Shoals,
could have been tragic, but with the
help she received at the C. J. Hart Clinic
in Laurens, S. C., it is a happy one.
Geraldine was seven years old when
she started having nasal hemorrhages.
She would. Iqse so much blood that it
wouid leave her weak and lifeless. “We
tried everything, and yet it seemed to
do her no good,” says Mrs. Sweat. “Fi
nally, we were advised that an oper
ation might help, but it was a very big
might.”
Geraldine was having another hemor
rhage when they heard about the won
derful work being done at the Hart
Clinic at Laurena and decided to consult
Dr. Hart.
“After the first treatment she began
to show improvement and there have
been no further hemorrhages, and she
is a healthy girl once more,” said these
grateful parents.
“In addition to this, her eyes have been
relieved of tension and she is now able to
go without glasses she has been wearing
for two years. This was accomplished by
further treatments at the C. J. Hart Clinic.
We are indeed grateful to Dr. Hart for
what he has done for our daughter, Ger
aldine,” writes Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sweat
of Ware Shoals, S. C.
