School Wins Places
At Music Festival
The South Carolina 'Secondary
School Activities Association of Dis
trict I held its first music festival
at Gallman High School, Newberry,
on Wednesday, March 12.
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.
HOME BUILDING
The Senate has approved the ex
tension of the housing provisions of
the GI Bill in very nearly the form
proposed by Senator Sparkman and
me Direct loans to veterans in rural
