COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS |
(Hy Spectator)
The announcement of a plywood I
mill of a million dollars at Hampton
la moat gratifying. Hampton la to bo
congratulated; South Carolina la to bo I
congratulated.
Lot us turn our inlnda to the futuru I
with hope and confidence, but lot ua I
bo noun I bio and romvoe any barrtora I
O now ontorprlaea. ? _L
Wo have something huro In South
Carolina; climate, opun-air work all
the years good roada; good, subsiuutlal
peoplo. Wo tiro American stock,
almoat free from lama and foollah
thoorles of government. The rank
and (lie of our people uro sound tit
heart; the nearest thing to u calamity
j which wo have la the political group
who awullow every pill proacribod hy
the aoclaliata and communists In
Washington.
The plywood enterprise for llamp-1
I ton 1h worth more to ua than fifty
j million dollars of war money. All the I
j money for defense, or wtir, or what-l
not. will pour out llko a flood audi
soon paaa out to sea; but u coutinu-1
ing, productive enterprise will be aj
permanent factor of development both I
for Hampton and South Carolina. I
We South Carolinians* should deA-J
nitely and vigorously clear the path I
of obstacles. What are these oh-1
stacles? High local tuxution Is one, I
but I am not sure It la the worst I
think the weakest part of all our pub-1
lie life Is our surrender to special J
Interests. No one seems to have a I
clear program of development; the!
only clear program is that of those I
who nurse a plan to get money out of I
the Stater Treasury. It Is seldom a |
part of a constructive program; morel
often it is merely the cohesive efTort I
to get something for some group. I
If the heaviest burden of taxation I
falls on real estate?and It does? I
there should be a constant effort to I
lease the strain on the taxpayers.!
Well, in the time of Governor Johns-1
ton the five mill State Tax was re-1
pealed. Then we repealed thd\ three-1
mill Constitutional school tax. Veryl
quickly the 3-mill tax was re-Imposed J
in a new guise, and It is still on us; I
as quickly one mill was re-Imposed,
after the veto by Governor Johnston. J
In other words, we were compelled to |
impose these tnxes again?why? Our I
j revenue was Increasing and our appropriations
were Increasing. If we
had not swallowed all the nauseous
quackery of socialists and created our
Welfare hand-outs we should have
had no deficit In the first place; if we j
had not gone on-a building spree Tor j
the State Institutions we might havel
saved a lot of money In the second
place; and If we had not poured out I
I some hundreds of thousands of dollars
1 unnecessarily, we might have helped
j tlie condition in the third place. But
I the taxes were put on?resting on
your home and your farm?while
various small favors of hundreds of
thousands were attended to.
Let me ask you again! How can
the spite help you most In your
County? Unquestionably by a^sum-l
ing more of the school burden. Since
the State undertook to grant aid to
the counties the most effective aid
was to pay for a certain number of
months. During this year the State
should have assumed the ninth month.
Granting increases to the teachers
was playing Into the hands of a powerful
political lobby, but It was not
serving the counties In the most effective
manner. Not a dollar will be
saved to the taxpayers by the recent,
spectacular Increase In the pay of
teachers; and we are likely to find
school taxes heavily delinquent again
this year. Relief for the taxpayers
Is not the main idea; the principal
and dominating note was political; it
was to curry favor with the teachers
as a political force.
If the Legislature wishes to do a
salutary thing let it take off the State
taxes on general property and then
let it take over the ninth month of
the school term, but only with the
condition that an equal sum shall be
reduced in the tax burden of the
county with an appropriate reduction
In millage as a mandatory proviso.
The most direct procedure would
be for the schools and their revenue
to pass from thp counties to the State.
The present man of State Aid is
doubling the burden in many cases.
came off, leaving a lame steed; and
came off, leaving a lame stede; and
for lack of swift mount the King was
captured and lost his throne. I may
have a misty recollection, though the
point is clear: the lack of a nail cost
a throne.
Well the lack of a gallon of gasoline
was a major problem to me recently.
1 had driven to Greenville and was
observing all the recommendations of
Mr. Ickes, narpely, to wit: I had not
tried any ''rabbit starts", nor applied
the brakes with urgent pressure or
heavy-footed vigor, I had driven all
day with a perfect blend of Scotch
thrift and Stan Williamson precaution
for safety. I had left with a tank
full to the brim and was approaching
the Game Cock city?Sumter?at 14
minutes to seven, by my car clock
with the needle indftating an all-cut
for gas. Now Sumter, like most other
cities is full of cars and people, with
such a steady stream of traffic that
you feel pushed forward in the surge
of humanity and Vehicles. I was in
the very heart of the rushing city,
with five minutes to spare by my
clock, when the bong, bong of the
city clock impigned upon my sad spirit
the doleful truth that the city
clock and my clock were in disagreement.
At 7:02 p. m. I pulled into a station1
and humbly asjted permission to buy
2 gallons of gasoline in order to
reach my home. The young man in
charge turned a scornful glance at
me and said "It's after ^even o'clock."
No. sir. nothing doing by this apostle
of Mr. Ickes. My word! I was in a
pickle. Was I to spend the night in
Sumter? , And to make it worse, I
was carrying, a depleted purse, or,
more lucidly, I was short of cash. I
wondered for a moment whether to
call on my amiable friend, Mayor
Creech, for a habitat?or what. I
know many pleasant gentlemen in
Sumter, but have never tried out a
check on *ny of them. All sorta of
thoughts ran through my mind. Sumter
is quite a walk from my home?
twenty miles. I've never walked so
far just to sleep, though I once walked
from Crocketville (Hampton) thirteen
miles. At last?within 2 minutes?I
dashed into the station of a
Samaritan afid there procured two
gallons of the precious liquid. Hereafter
I'll think not Only of the glass
of cold water, but the gallon of gas.
Our friends of Barnwell showed
sound Judgment in postponing the renovation
of their court house. Today
materials are scarce and high; employment
is general and wages are
high. When this war ends, material
will be much less expensive and much
easier to get; all the'other costs will
be lower. Then jobs will be scarce.
A thirty-flve thousand job will mean
a lot to Barnwell when men need
work.

'Ensign Wayne Morris Seeks Wings
Wayne Morris, recent star of "1
Wanted Wings," became a member of
Uncle Sam's Navy in May, 1941,
when he was appointed to the rank
of Ensign.
When asked what he thought of
the United States Navy, Morris said,
"I think every man who is considering
joining a military service should
look into the 'chance of a lifetime'
which the Navy and Naval Reserve offer
to get into the big-pay field of the
future?aviation. In the Navy you
can attend the finest flight training
schools in the world, and receive in
struction from Navy pilots who introduced
dive bombing, aircraft carriers
and catapult take-offs to the rest of
the world. Also, there are opportunities
in Naval Aviation for men who
don't want to fly. They can be trained
as aviation machinists, metalsmiths,
photographers, observers, or they can
receive instruction in many other
trades. It's a great life in the Navy."
Ensign Wayne Morris is pictured
here in his line of duty as a member
of the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection
Board at the Long Beach Naval
Reserve Air Base.

fact, they put up a nice brand of polo.
Bates and Harrison were hitting the
ball hard and straight. Lightfoot
I who has been in several accidents in
the past year is just getting his polo
form and gives promise of having a
fine season. Burns looks like a sure I
winner this season as does Robertson. I
DuBose while suffering from a bad I
cold Sunday demonstrated that be is I
still the lone ranger when it comes I
to daring riding. Boykln is another I
player to watch this season. Tapper, I
one of the olmssleet riders In the feiroop M
will make polo history for himself. I
Harrison showed up fine, his BkiU is
riding and shooting Indicating that lis I
has been playing fine polo the put
summer.
Next Sunday the polo will shift to '
the No. 1 field and It will be the
formal opening of the season with the
yellows and blues meeting in the first
game of the Ganoe series. This opening
series has been arranged as a compliment
-to Colonel William Ganoe,

headquarters and man who has
won the affection and esteem of all
of Camden during his residence here.
The headquarters band will play.for
half an hour Jfrefore the game, which
is scheduled to start at 3 o'clock.,
sharp; also between the chukkers.
The American Legion will have
