Schools represented were Sanders High School, Edgefield, Bell Street and Gallman. Three musical events comprised the day’s program: choral numbers by each school's glee club, vocal solo renditions, and band numbers. The climax of the day’s activity was the combined singing of all choruses of one choral selection, “To A Wild Rose,” by McDowell, under the direction of Miss N. V. Fontaine of Bell Street High School. Also featured was the combined playing of all bands of the district rendering ‘“Activity,” by Bennett, under the direction of Otis Padgett, bandmaster of Gallman High School. The schools participating received ratings in three events that were scheduled. Bell Street High Glee Club received second place, the solo division of Bell Street received first place, with Patricia Miller, a soph omore, singing Gershwin’s ‘Sum mertime,” and the Bell Street band took honors in first place. The music department, under the direction of Miss N. V. Fontaine and H. W. Watts, will enter the State Music Festival to be held in Colum bia on April 18. Sen. Thurmond Reports RECESSION REMEDIES The past ten days have been a pe riod of overtime work on the floor of the Senate. We have been concerned with taking immediate steps to stimulate business activity, as the economic recession continues t o deepen. The latest figures supplied me by the Department of Labor show that almost 24,000 South Carolinians— 5.7 per cent of the workers covered by the unemployment compensation law—are claiming unemployment compensation. Hie figure for 4he comparable week of 1957 was 3 8 per cent, indicating that unemploy ment in South Carolina has risen by 66 per cent in the last 12 months. The unemployment compensation figures for the nation as a whole are even worse. The Labor Depart ment reports that 7.9 per cent of all workers covered by unemployment compensation have filed claims. In South Carolina, we have a large number of small businessmen and farmers who are not eligible for unemployment benefits. Hiese cit izens are especially hard hit by the decline in business activity THE FARM PROBLEM In 1951 the total net income of farmers was $16 1 billion. In 1957 it had fallen to $11.6 bilbon—a $44 billion loss. Since 1951, prices re ceived by farmers have gone down 20 per cent. But farm operation costs have gone up 15 per cent. In other wwds. it cost the farmer more to make less money. The farm problem is too complex to solve with any single piece of leg islation The Senate did the best one thing that could be done in passing the joint resolution calling for no cuts in price support or acreage al lotments below 1957 levels. Every major depression this country has ever had began with a depression among the farmers, and we cannot have true prosperity unless the small farmers of this country are able to make a decent living. We have won the battle to secure Soil Bank payment^, for our farm ers. I was glad to play a part in gaining a supplemental appropri ation of $250,000,000 so that the gov ernment can fulfill its obligation to the cotton growers. PUBLIC WORKS The administration, with the con sent and urging of Congress, will speed action on a number of Federal projects. Before new schemes, some of which may be inadvisable, are rushed into action, I favor going forward with projects that have al ready had the careful consideration of Congress and which have been deferred by the Executive branch One example is the Fort Jackson hospital, for which Congress appro priated money in 1955. Not a penny of this money has been released by the Budget Bureau. I am urging the prompt allocation of funds for this and other deferred projects in South Carolina.
