(Thla advertlaement paid for by frlenda of Irby Turner) k From Veil to Shorts Go Turkish Girli Fifty years have taken Turkisl women far, all tlje way from* the veil to shorts. Recently the American Girls College of Istanbul celebrated its half century anniversary of turning out Americanized versions of Turkish young women. Although there were only two Turkish girls in the first graduating class, the numbers have increased since the advent of the Turkish republic and the recognition of women's rights until 1)0 per cent of the college is Turkish. The leading Turkish families are eager for their daughters to have American educations. But even though the students 'appear in brief white shorts and bare legs for gym classes?a far cry from the days when they had to be veiled for commencement?the Turkish government and national customs tend to lessen the Americanization process. Even though "Gone With the Wind" is the Turkish students' favorite reading matter and pictures of Clark Gable and Tyrone Power decorate her room, she does not entertain men at college proms. The ministry of education prohibits boys and girls dancing together within the college walls. Although the Turkish collegian speaks good English and studies with many of the same books as her American counterpart, she doesn't wear makeup, doesn't like to eat between meals, has never heard of a "coke" or "jitterbug" and prefers tango to swing. She'd rather go to the movies than to a dance and only drinks alcoholic beverages at a ball or a wedding. Boys aren't allowed to call at the college, so the dean isn't bothered with the ever-present American problem of petting in parked cars because the average Turkish youth doesn't own one, there being but 5,000 in all Turkey. Although new vistas have been widely opened to women in the last two decades of Turkish history, the average student prefers marriage to a career. None looks forward to a movie or stage career because that still "isn't the thing to do." Although she gets .-her fashion ideas from the American movies, she isn't as susceptible to fads as American girls and her sweaters and skirts have more individuality than those found on American campuses. She chooses her own clothes but doesn't have an allowance. She likes sophisticated clothes rather than casual sports things; wears her hair in a long glamour-girl bob, favors snoods and costume jewelry. Antarctica Will Become Tropical, Predict* Byrd Millions of years ago Antarctica had a tropical climate, .according to Adml. Richard E. Byrd, the famous explorer. The climate, moreover, is changing, he says, and that region again will become habitable. But don't make any rush for Little - America as yet. It will take some millions of yeaj^, Byrd declares. till it's warm enough for you. Byrd brought b.-^k from his recent expedition geological and botaxucal fossils of wood and. Iea_Y?i> tQ_ prove the antarctic once was tropical. He said fossil animals might be found if the polar ice cap could be excavated. However, he said it was not possible to prove human existence there. The far southern continent is passing through a glacial age and the ice is slowly diminishing, Byrd declared. Shepherds in Chilean Patagonia had told him, too, that the ice and snow was less now than a generation ago, he added. As the ice diminishes in Antarctica, Byrd said, the temperature will gradually rise through the centuries I and possibly the currents which j give sub-tropical Chile and Peru their temperate ciimate will become i warmer. I I Protect Civil War Trenches i To serve the twofold purpose of I beautification and prevention of ero! sion which threaten to damage Civil war trenches, thousands of blossoming periwinkle were planted in the Fredericksburg-Spotsylvania Na{ tional Military park. Since the matting of unde>brush, which for more than 80 years held ! the earth in place and made a : wilderness of the historic battic' fields, has been removed, national park service officials have been combating the menace of erosion. Branch Spalding, co-ordinating superintendent of the Virginia battlefields. said the periwinkle was a little evergreen that produces tiny white blossoms in late April. Mr. Spalding said that through the cooperation of park neighbors, hundreds of roots were gathered for k planting. Treasury Gadget ' Stretched across the top of the tellers' windows, of tne state treas- j i urer's office in Springfield. 111. arc j ' many strands of wire which i(??k i like radio aerials. Ed Lonergan, press agent for ; Treasurer Louie E. Lewis, explains ' they are part of a robbery-burglary j system, charged with high voltage i to prevent climbing into the treasury office and fixed to set off alarms in police stations. Cost of the system is $2,600 and it saves $4,000 annually on theft insurance. Little money is kept in the office, but there are many bonds burglars might yen for. I Magazines Made jFrom Carolina Wood I Many Hrst-clas*' magazines are I printed on paper largely made from I South Carolina pine ami hardwoods. Among these are Good Housekeeping. Colliers, Cosmopolitan, Better Homes and Garden, lmok. True Detective, I True Story, Time. Life and many oth* era The rosin from our native alusli and lougloaf pines ulso goes Into the making of printer's Ink and paper as does also some or our cluy. Ttoerefore, the weekly or monthly magazine which you have U$*our home may have been a part of a pine or bardwood tree which grow right here In South Carolina^ less than a month ago. advises the State Forest Service. The early paper mills In South Carolina used rags and probably low grade cotton for their raw material.] One of these mills was constructed at Columbia by George Waring In 1806. The first mill In South Carolina to use pine and hardwood for raw material went Into production In 1892. This was the Carolina Fibre company att ilarstvllle, established by the (Joker family and it is still Operating Cater on the large paper mills at K lags port, Tenn., and Canton, N. C., started operations and since their establishment have secured a poitiou of their raw material in South Caiolina. A considerable portion t)f the output of these mills goes Into highclass book, magazine and writing papers as well as paper for the manufacture of boxes and novelties. In 1937 two great mills were put in operation along our seaboard, thete mills manufacture kraft paper which is largely used in wrapping paper and in the manufacture of cartons and containers. However, kraft pulp is also capable of being refined and bleached for uso In book making and other high-grade uses. The new mill at LufWn, Texas, which has just gone into production, is the only one in the south specifically designed to produce newsprint. It was constructed because of the work and publicity of the late Dr. Charles Herty who investigated the newsprint possibilities of Southern pines. A paper printed on newsprint from this mill is on file in the office of the State Forester. When the success of this venture is well established, and in the event the production costs are low and the (hialitv of products satisfactory, in all probability a great number of newsprint mills will be established in the south. in seeking locations, fuel, power and a plentiful supply of good water will be major considerations. However, transportation will be of great importance. Of equal importance will be the supply of raw material within economic hauling distance of the plant. Inasmuch as the continuous production of forest products is directly dependent on production of lands from woods fires it logically follow* that states where considerable county-wide fire production is protected will have -a - big ad van taffa -aver- slates wjKItU protection is not generally practiced.) There are now four pulp and paper mills at Mobile. Alabama, a new one is being built at Pensacola. Florida, and another new one is planned for St. Marys. Georgia, on the GeorgiaFlorida line, just east of Fernandina. Florida. Coastal Carolina is recognized as an excellent timber growing region but the low country is in need of an expansion of the area under cooperation protection with the South Carolina Forest Service. As long as this excellent timber growing area lacks piotection the lands can only produce a fraction of what they can grow, and that being the case they offer no advantage over competitive regions. However, a number of low country counties have established fire control organizations and by this step have assisted existing industries and made their forest lands potential sources of supply for new industries. Proper timber harvesting practices should also be inaugurated on a larger scab* throughout south Carolina in order to enable the landowner to secure maxr/num returns from his lands and to assure the pole, the veneer, piling, cross-tie. puipwood and lumber Interests that they can depend on South Carolina for a continuous supply of raw materials. The British government has expressed its deepest regrets-" to the] Swiss minister in London, for viola-] tion of Swiss territory by British bombing planes en route to Germany . and Italy Governor Clyde R Hoey of Nerth Carolina, described the recent floods in tiie northwest and northeast sections of the state, as "probably the worst catastrophe in North Carolina since the Civil war." Tw .wear old Tommy O'Donahue fell from a third story window in New York, hit a clothes lino which broke the fall, and landed comfortably In a canvas beach chair. Georgia will not allow Communist candidates for public offices to place their names on the ballot In the November general election. Secretary of State John B Wilson commented. "It would be against public policy to place on our ballot the names of candidates j of a party which seeks to overthrow our democratic form of government. I Its capital.
