ThnrwUy, October 13,1955 THE CLINTON CHBONICLE Paf« f By SPECTATOR... COMMENTS on MEN AND THINGS A Day in Joanna. Have you ever been to Joanna? Joanna is a delightful community on the highway from Columbia to Greenville; it is about twenty miles from Newberry and about S six miles from Clinton. That close ness to Newberry and Clinton gave Joanna a good start for no circumstance is more conductive ' to happiness than a good neigh borhood: Newberry and Clinton are all that. The sturdy Lutherans of Newberry and the devout Pres byterians of Clinton mingle in creating an atmosphere of serious but joyful living. We of other churches also feel that we have a part. Joanna used to be called “Gold ville," as I recall; and H is still as fine as gold and more enduring. Joanna is the community which houses a great textile establish ment, The Joanna Cotton Mills Company. Years ago I came to know Wil liam A. Moorhead, then manager of the big mall at Gokiville. Later I met Mr. W. H. (Regnery of Chi- cage, the new owner, in his of fice in Chicago. Upon the passing of Mr. Moor head the management devolved upon Mr. Walter Regnery, who now directs the fine textile enter prise. The outstanding achievement of the Messrs Regnery, father and son, hqpbeen in the close relations between all persons connected with the mill in any capacity and the owners. No establishment has a finer spirit of fellowship than that found in Joanna. On the technical side, or busi ness side, no textile enterprise keeps more abreast with all devel opments than does Joanna. It is a treat for me to spend a day in the Community because I find an all- perasive friendless which warms my heart and rejoices my spirit. •Recently I attended a great bar becue which was sponsored by the management and managed by the Citizens of Joanna. It was a mag nificent occasion, 1 being one of four thousand to enjoy a splendid program of sports, music and feasting. Mr. Welter Regnery was there with his faepily and he took his turn with the rest of us. The Regnerys have done so much that 1 shall tell all that in detail later. And they tell with pride how splendidly all the big family cooperate to make the hap py neighborhood and remartrably successful enterprise I find so in spiring. . • • Manning celebrated its first hundred years recently and the town staged a week of festivity. For some time many of the men let their beards grow and during the week many men appeared like General Grant. There were floats and parades and concerts and pageants and one thing and another to lighten the spirit and gladden the heart. The ladles appeared in the cost umes of 1&56 and (the men donned apparel such as great grandfath ers wore on solemn occasions. Altogether the occasion was a community get-together and a re newal of public spirit and civic pride. • • • The heart attack suffered by President Eisenhower must evoke the sympathy of all our people. The President, in my view of things has tried faithfully to do what seemed to him to be right. I. like many others, dissented sharp ly from him in some matters. I still think he was grievously in error, though, even such differ ences will not obscure the gc neral merit of Mr. Eisenhower and the substantial general good of his Administration. All of us hope that the President will soon be up and about, resum ing his high functions, but with more care of his health. “Of all of our great natural re sources, water is most essential to the existence of man upon the earth. While the quantity of water on the surface of the earth and in the ground varies widely ac cording to location, it circulates constantly over and through the earth so that its total volume, esti- .. mated to be 200 times the flood , Slow of the lower Mississippi Riv er, does not change. Even more important, this most valuable re source is not lost by use, is not conserved by non-use, nor can it ever be permanently polluted. Man's activities do not diminish the quantity nor permanently im- The Speakerphone Leu you talk and listen without lifting the receiver. Has a small built-in microphone and a sep arate loudspeaker.

There exists in this country a wide-spread belief that we are teeing a national crisis wish re spect to water supply. Recently a well-known oolumist, after recit ing some of the better known and more acute local water shortages warned that ‘Our national water problem is critical and growing more so every hour.’ Nothing could be further from the truth. We have problems aplenty, some of them serious, but they are regional and not national in scope The average per captia consum ption of water ‘ in this country today is approximately 2,000 tons per year, whereas all of our other requirements of food, fuel, build ing materials, etc., total only about 18 tons per person per year As a background for (this study, H will be of interest to examine the, estimated total withdrawals and requirements for water in the years I960 and 1976 for the Na tion as a whole. It will be noted 4hat the estimated increase in water production during the twenty-five year period is 50 per cent for industrial and 25 per cent for irrigation. And yet these totals, vast tho ugh they are, are dwarfed by the corresponding totals of water a- vaiiabie. Our average annual rain fall of 30 inches is equivalent to 3,300 billion gallons of water per day, of which 1,300 ballion gallons is available as run-off and rechar ge, the remainder being lost by evaporation and evapo-transpira- tkm. Our total present water use for all purposes is equivalent to only % inch of rainfall, or 14 per cent of that available as run-off and recharge. We have sufficient water stored m the Great Lakes to cover the entire United States to a depth of over six feet and our underground water reserves are many times larger than all known surface water reserves. As a region, the South is for tunate in passessing abundant water resources. Geologically, more than half the South lies within /the great water-rich Coast al Plain, which extends from the Rio Grande eastward along the Gulf COast and northward along the Atlantic Ocean to Long Island and Cape Cod. The Coastal Plain is underlaid by coastward-dipping strata of sand, clay, marl, and ranging in thickness from a featheredge at the inner border at the Fall Line, where the underlying hard rocks come to the surface, to many thousands of feet in the extreme South. The average annuad rainfall in the South ranges from as httle as 8 inches in Western Texas to as much as 80 inches in the mount ains of Northern Georgia and South Carotlna. The average by states ranges from 31 inches in Texas to 56 inches in Louisiana Over the South as a whole,, the annual precipitation is substanti ally higher than the national aver age of about 30 inches — in many areas of the Southeast it is more than double the national average. Owing to the seasonal nature of the rainfall in some parts of the South, some streams have relativ ely low dry-season flows, so that storage reservoirs are required. On most of the larger streams however, the minimum flow is in excess of all current demands. Of all the Southern river basins, that of the Tennessee has been the most highly developed, with re spect to both storage reservoirs and the generation of electric power. The surface waters of the South are highly variable in quality, but they are generally relatively low in mineral content and high in turbidity. Most surface waters re quire chemical treatment for in dustrial or municipal use. From the standpoint of chemical quality, many types of ground water are found throughout the region. Wells drawing from sand generally yield water low in totad solids and hardness, but those drawing from limestone yield water of high mineral content and total hardness. Much of the ground water requires treatment by municipalities or industries be fore use and in moot cases such treatment is provided. In certain including parts of Texas, Vrginia, and Florida, the ground water in some formations is brack ish, probably because the sea wat er that filled these formations thousands of years ago has not yet been flushed out completely. The vast resources of both sur face water and ground water have played a dominant role In the South’s phenomena] industrial de velopment during the past decade and will doubtless play a more important role as waiter supplies in the Nation as a whole become more scarce. One of the factors behind the rapid industrialization of the South is its abundant supplies of good water. In the past decade this industrialization of the South has been phenomenal. The South now has one-third of the Nation’s chemical industry; that this will increase to ooe-haK within the next 40 years; and that by 1973 the South will have the majority of American chemical industry. It is predicted that during the next 10 years a total of 10,000 new plants wall be built in the South and that each of the southern, states will add 700 plants to its indust rial potential by 1965. It is impor tant to note that a high proportion of chemical plants are ‘wet pro cess’ plants which require large volumes of water and in many cases produce large volumes of liquid wastes Approximately 70 per cent of the Nation’s rayon pro duction capacity is in the South (and it requires 200,000 gallons of water to produce a ton of viscose rayon. that the below named parties propose to apply for a corporate charter under Section 12-T51, et seq. of the Code of Laws of South Carolina for 1952, the name of the proposed eleemosynary cor poration to be Mu of Kappa Al pha Fraternal Association, and that a meeting to perfect organi zation and make such application will be held at the Pi Kappa Al pha Chapter House, Presbyte rian College, Clinton, South Carolina, on Saturday, October 15. 1955, at 5 o’clock P ’M L.
