'Negro Families
Being Helped'
Among numerous rehabilitation!
j clients of the South Carolina K. It. A.
I are those of the negroes of St. Helena
Island in lieaufort County. At the
present time, ten families are being
rehabilitated by the Beaufort County
K. K. A on that strip of land which
shuts the town of Beaufort from the
sea.
St. Helena is historic, and oince
184>2 has been used as a laboratory
for an experiment in community education.
Soon after the capture of
the sea Jslands off the coast of South
( arolina by northern forces, l^aura
M. Towne, and Ellen Murray came
to iSt. Helena, and there established
Penn School now known as Penn Normal,
Industrial and Agricultural
School. They were followed some 30
years ago by Hossa B. Cooley and
{- race Biglow House who since that
time have given their entire lives in
educating the negroes on the island,
and in merging school and community
into a common adventure by bringing
the farms to the school.
Miss Cooley and Miss House have
done u remarkable work and their
services are reflected in the educational
and agricultural background
that has been instilled in the negroes
who once were considered as farm
hands not hardly capable of being
educated.
Requirements of rural rehabilitation
clients are that they must be
thrifty, conscientious, honest, loyal
and above all, have an agricultural
background. ft was because needy
negroes on St. Helena's island had
these prerequisites that ten of them
were chosen by the E. R. A. to be
rehabilitated. The eagerness and
willingness to become independent,
and the scientific manner in which
these island negroes are rehabilitating
themselves, is a challenge to others
in South Carolina who have been and;
are now, on relief rolls. These negroes
are enthusiastic in their work
and above all, they are appreciative
of what the government is doing for
them. They are not ignorant negroes
and all of them have been trained
at Penn School. Their farms have1
oqen brought to their school. They
have community pride, and have been
trained not only in farming but in
other vocational principles.
St. Helena negroes cannot'be classed
as "biggity" negroes who want
to claim the world for their own, but
for the most part, they have the simI
plieity and dignity of negroes eager
to learn and at the same time perfectly
contented to remain on the
island.
The children take great pride in
their schools; the farmers great pride
in their farms?in fact they are
taught to take a pride in everything
they do.
The education at Penn is not merely
one of theory but as has been said,
the teachers bring the farms to the
school. Industrial and vocational
work is taught just as farm-home
management, gardening, sewing, library,
and practice teaching, while
the practical work for boys is divided
under eleven headings: farm fields
and orchard, forestry and wood supply,
dairy, live stock, garden, roads
and grounds, native island basketry,
blacksmithing and wheel wrighting,
carpentry, cobbling, harness making
and upholstery, and machine repairs.
"All work and no play" as the .saying
goes, "makes Jack a dull boy,"
but community life on St. Helena's
island mixes its play with its work.
They have their plays, their music,
their clubs, community sings, contests
and the like, and then they have
their spirituals which they sing while
at work, worship, and at play. As a
whole, they are satisfied with the life
on the island plantation, and since
rural rehabilitation stresses contentment
in being on a farm, these people,
from this standpoint, are ideal clients.
Death And Big Loss
In Australian Flood
Melbourne, Australia, Dec. 3.?After
a night of terror which many
spent in trees beating off snakes
swimming in surrounding waters,
thousands of residents of flood devastated
communities near here
watched swollen rivers recede today.
The unprecedented flood, gravest
disaster in the state of Victoria's history,
cost the lives of 40, left approximately
8,000 homeless and caused
damage estimated at 1,060,000 pounds
(about $5,000,000).
Two thickly populated farming
communities north and east of here
were inundated by the swiftly rising
waters. Inhabitants sought refuge on
hills and rooftops as their homes and
livestock were swept away in the
flood.
Heavy damage in coastal towns was
caused a? a high wind lashed the sea

Nelson Found Dead,
Deserted By Pals!
< hicagn, Nov. 2t>. -GtU'ving over I
deaths of t \s o more Federal ugcnt> in
their long war with the John l>il-I
linger gung but elated at slaying of
George (Baby Face) Nelson, believed j
the last of the mob's chief members,
government forces organized today to
mop up the gang's dregs.
Chiefly the Federal officers Mauled
the man ami womun with Nelson
when Inspector Samuel i\ Cowley of
the justice department's division of
investigation and Agent Herman Mollis
ran them down near Harrington,
111., Tuesday and fought a terrilUy
roadside battle. \
Mollis was killed outright in the
light, Cowley died nine hours later
and Nelson's naked body, wrapped in
a dirty blanket, was found yesterday
on a weed grown prairie in Niles Center,
Chicago suburb.
Companions of the slain officers,
seeking even further vengeance in the
war which - has killed nine officers,
ten gangsters and one innocent civilian,
spread a network of investigators
over northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin
and even as far north as the
Minnesota twin cities.
They believed the man who fought
with Nelson Tuesday, loading a machine
gun for the 24-year-old gunman
and firing a shotgun himself, was Alvin
Karpis, St. Paul gangster, accused
of the kidnaping of Edward G.
Bremer. The woman, they were convinced,
was Nelson's 21-year-old wife,
who violated probation and left two
children in care of relatives to share
her husband's bloody trail.
^ecause the gangsters were fleeing
toward Chicago when Nelson died, the
search concentrated here.
Physicians said Nelson's death
probably occurred about fi a. myesterday.
His body was not abandoned
until at least half hour later, because
it was not wet by a rain which fell
until 6:d0. An autopsy showed he
died of internal hemorrhage in a bullet
wound which coursed from front
to rear of his stomach.
Eight other wounds in his legs
showed that both Mollis and Cowley
fired with cool accuracy. Mollis was
armed with a sub-machine gun and
Cowley with a shotgun firing special
"miniature shrappnel" shells.
Sheriffs in five Illinois counties
mastered hundreds of possemen in a
patrol of highways today, although
Federal agents indicated they believed
the hunted man and woman had
escaped into Chicago's maze.
Inspector H. II. Clegg, who flew
from Washington to direct the search
for Nelson before he learned of his
death, remained to hunt for Karpis
and his woman companion.
Federal men belidve that John
Hamilton, only major member of Dillinger's
once powerful gang not accounted
for, may be dead. Dillinger
himself said so before he escaped
from the Crown Point, Ind., jail last
spring with a wooden pistol. The idea
was scouted then, but has gained credence
as months passed without word
of him.
First Tagged Fish
Taken From Lake
West Jacocks, field agent of the
federal bureau of fisheries reported
yesterday morning that the first black
bass containing a "sight draft" had
been caught by Mrs. J. D. lawman,
route No. 2, Columbia, in the cove
of I>ake Murray, formed by Metz
creek off Harmon's fishing camp. The
biuss was one of 100 which was tagged
and released in Lake Murray November
2 of this year. It was ten inches
long.
The tag, No. 115245, a celluloid
strip aibout one inch long and about
a quarter of an inch wide, was inserted
in the cavity of the fish's stomach
through an incision made in the
stomach wall. The purpose of the
tagging is to procure definite data on
the rapidity of growth and ranging
habits of bass. This particular fish
was caught about five miles from
where it had been released a month
ago today.
Mr. Jacocks, in his letter to Elmei
Higgins, chief of the division ol
scientific inquiry in Washington, D
C., said, "I arp glad to learn that on<
of our larger bass did survive th<
'operation' and was able to travel e
considerable distance and developec
an appetite." He also said that th<
early catches of the tagged fish wer<
not desirable due to the fact thai
very little enlightening data could b<
obtained at such an early date.
Mrs. Lowmnn will receive a rewarc
for - reporting the catch from a fun<
I set up jointly by the United Statei
bureau of fisheries and the stat<
game department.
Officials of the game departmeni
urge that all catches be reported s<
that a thorough. investigation may b<
made through the experiment, and foi
this reason it is hoped that the mark
ed fish will elude the anglers for s
year or more so that a better checl
of their growth may be made. Th<
bass caught by Mrs. Lowman ha<
grown very little, if any, since tume<
loose in the ISDce.?Sunday's State.

President Hey ward is spending sev-j
eral duys down in what we hope will
become our "Coastal (lame Zone,"
beating the bushes for more chapters
.ml more and better members. Consequently,
the secretary is coming to
bat as a pinch hitter.
Following the splendid interest
manifested at the statewide gathering
of vice presidents and legislative committeemen
ut Columbia last week, and
the efforts of Kirk Trotter to completely
organize his fifth district, and
having a series of gatherings in the
several towns of his counties, it looks
like activity afield.
isuch live chapters as the Florence
group and their fine fish rearing
pools; Clinton with a spirit that can
pull 1)5 per cent attendance at meetings;
Dillon with its fish work and
other chapter activity; Sumter with
its complete county game and forestry
program and with its dynamic
Mac Boykin; to say nothing of the
great work being accomplished by the
Piedmont group, and the awakening
of K. B. Chamberlain and others down
in Charleston, bring joy to stute headquarters.
Which also makes the point that
chapters to continue vigorous and
move forward?for if they don't go
forward they go backward?must huve
an objective, a tangible evidence of
their achievement* to tie the members
to, or their chapter meetings
must be so arranged and scheduled
that mutters of interest" and entertainment
may be had at each and every
session. The chapter project is
the harder of the two. A good program
can be arranged with a little
thought and initiative.
This week one chapter found in
their summer colony the country's
foremost breeder of bird dogs. What
would be more interesting thun a
good old talk from this sportsman?
We know of a certain lawyer who
makes his own fine guns, importing
certain parts, then hand carving, and
( assembling the whole. Wouldn't many
members bo interested in making a
! pattern of their trusty old gun? How
'about a plug casting contest?even
ndoors now? Would an old fashioned
turkey shoot awake interest? A
fish liar's night might bring forth
I some tall tales. A ladies' night might
appeal to some. A discussion of our
i legislative program will cause much
] talk. These are n few things that
we know of; you have others. Don't
just let a meeting happen. Plan for
it, develop it, drive it, and you will
find your members attending regu:
larly, bring in others. Where good
fellows get together often enough
! you will soon have sports fnir weather
ahead.
