Aw men with iega-i problems back home. “Lieutenant,” a young sea man once asked, “I am filling out an absentee ballot — can you tell me what the Comp troller Genera 1 ! is — is he the head of the National Guard?” Another ships crewman asked Hendricks, “I have to register a deed. 1 won’t get home for months, maybe years, what do 1 do?” A petty officer asked: “Sir, my Mom writes that I am sub poenaed to serve on a grand jury at home — uh, suppose you can arrange to send me home after you tell me what I have to do.” Questions often plagued Hendricks. “We arc* out here fighting for our country,” Hendricks would sny to him self, “and it’s a shame our hoys know so lit?ie of our own government.” One day when Hendricks was reviewing ships’ legal books, he resolved: “If 1 sur vive this war I am going to write a book about govern ment, dealing with every off ice from the county level to the President and make it available for schools and any one else interested in his government.” Thus, “The South Carolini an and His Government” be came a dream. (Later Hend ricks labeled it his “Faith Project” when untold obsta cles cropped up to hinder pub lishing the book.) After the war, Hendricks re turned to West Virginia, wrote several books, including one on West Virginia's govern ment, taught school awhile and soiVed a four-year term as Prosecuting Attorney in Boone County, West Virginia. When he moved to South Ca rolina, ton. years ago, he im mediately began a work plan for the big goal in his life, talking to educators, officials, politicians, statesmen, record ing idea, suggestions, fears. He wrote and re-wrote, spend ing time in \courts, libraries, studying concise, but simple, even if eaeli government off ice is complicated when de tailed, Hendricks persisted. “1 began calling the book my ‘Faith Project’,’’ Hend ricks said, “and I became even more determined when I realized that th real bul wark against Communism is knowledge of our own wonder ful government,” Hendricks said. The hook would have to stand the test of devoted edu cators. He knew attorneys, like himself, and officials would carefully scrutinize the book. It had to be accurate and authoritative. In late 1965, after ten com plete re-writes, the book was readied for the press. Hend ricks set a goal of getting it before the South Carolina State Textbook and Curricu lum Advisory Committee by June. This committee, made up of 15 of the state’s most re spected educators, could de cide the fate of Hendricks’ enduring work. The author did not wait, however; he continued to seek reviews and critiques of his work, mailing complimentary copies to legislators and lib rarians. He only asked for their observations, suggest- tions and criticisms. Replies flowed in. “. . . a regular storehouse of knowledge . . .” wrote Lou ise L. Marcum, Oconee County Librarian. “. . . interested in polities, public life for 50 years . . . never run across anything like this book . . . everything in detail . . .” wrote R. D. Guilds, State Board of Edu cation, Moncks Corner. “. . . this is the kind of text book I have long wanted our state to make required fead- “We recommend the State Board of Education approve the book for use in . . . South Carolina History . . . U. S. History . . . Ninth Grade Ci vics . . . Senior Social S*udies Courses.” The committee also recom mended the book be placed on (be state library list, ami be utilized in the adult education program. Almost immediately orders come. Libraries from through out the state began ordering copies, anticipating rail school terms. Now, Hendricks would like to see private citizens and newcomers to South Carolina make use of the book, toe. What motivates one io wriW? a book like “The South Caro- tinian and His Government”? To know is to know P. W. Hendricks, Jhe author. A mod est, brief biography quotes his legal background; the book >s dedicated to his wife (they have three children — C. W., 18, studying to be a physician; Pete, 16, and Ka- eti, 12); and the brief fore word explains a wish made for the young people of South Carolina.
