COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS (By Spectator) One of the greatest struggles of today is a war that is not being heralded in the newspapers. It is the light of our farmers with grass. If the farmers win this battle the defeat of the Japanese will seem Just smalltime stuff, eh boys? ^Saturday morning I revelled amid the peacheB and plums out on the farm. I thought of my friend Derleux fixing prices and building ceilings, and wondered what ceiling he could put over the fruit trees to keep the rains from rotting the stuff. We are learning a lot about gasoline and rubber, aren't we? What do you think of these gasoline facts? Every time a tanker la sunk, a year's supply of fuel for 6,000 automobiles vanishes. A battleship uses 1, 500,000 gallons of fuel oil on a round trip convoy to Australia. The same oil would make gasoline to supply 1,000 cars for a year. A "jeep" gets 18 mileB to the gallon, but a light tank gets one mile? It would take you, Mr. Motorist, 23 years to use 15,000 gallons, but that supply- carries an Army mechanzied division only 100 miles. Your car would go 1,000 miles on 70 gallons, but they will keep a fighter plane up Just one hour ., . . A flying fortress uses one gallon a mile. Gas used by . 30 families for 100-mile Sunday drives would keep a fortress in the air one hour. About the bombs and bombers: the biggest British bombers are carrying eight thousand, even nine thousand pounds of explosives. Some bombs weigh more than two tons and can blast a whole city block. British planes have dropped 3,000 tons of explosives in one night on German war center#. It costs a pile of money to do this blasting on a big scale; but the cost in human life is one Irreplaceable item. When a big bomber crashes it may cost from four to seven trained men, who beyond that, are precious members of a family group. In two recent raids Britain lost seventynine bombers, a small percentage, it Is true, but a terriffic loss. The bombers used by Britain cost about $600,000,000, used gasoline costing ill,000,000 and dropped explosives costing $12,000,000. The 79 bombers lost coft $24,000,000, which is about a third of a big battleship. The two great raids' I have in mind required 12,000 men in the air and 240,000 on the ground. Dr. Snyder has resigned as president of Wofford college. Within my time Wofford has contributed as Its public service feature to our state James H. Carlisle, Henry Nelson Snyder and John G. Clinkscales, while in the old arsenal Itself were five or six men who tarried bg> the stuff and contributed mightily to that rich contribution to South Carolina known as Wofford. Such names as DuPre, Gamewell and Rembert comes quickly to mind to one who never knew Wofford except from the outside. Regardless of ho* much scholarship may be brought in, no group can ever rep>ce those illustrious man who bore brunt in the dsys of poverty, plain lividig and complete conHft. | ;I never saw Dr. Carlisle. He was almost a tradition years before, like Enoch, he walked with God. He had reached such a height in my childhood that men had only to look at him. or think of him. to know the right course to take. Dr. Henry Nelson Snyder followed Dr Carlisle in the presidency of Wofford. That was difficult, but he dldn t try to take the place of the grand old Doctor; he made a place for himself; he was never a smaller Dr. Carlisle; rather he became a great Dr. Snyder. Dr. Carlisle drew men to Wofford; but Dr. Snyder carried Wofford to the uttermost part of the state. In every phase of our complex life, Dr, I Snyder made his contribution. That clear mind, that eloquent tongue, the 'gracious and modest spirit, were al' ways ready for any call. I I do not speak of his career at Wofford. from the brilliant professorship down through the years of a long presidency; let our Methodist ^ret^" ren tell about that and rejoice in it. I a Baptist, but as a citizen, think I may assess the great public service of Dr. Snyder, as I did sometime ago in the case of the remembered Dr. Clinkscales. For a generation we have regarded Dr. Snyder as one of our chief assets, denying to the Met^?" dists any exclusive claim to him. O any great occasion Dr. Snyder appraised all the factors and interpreted them. I last heard him speak in that citadel of ,the Baptists?Hartsvllle? when he delivered the oration over the remains of the great Carolinian, David R. Coker. Years ago we thought of Dr. as a captivating teacher of English, but he never was ostentatiously Bcholarly; he digested his learning and his addresses showed the simplicity and assurance of maatery. Dr Snyder was wrought mightily among us. May he find peace and quiet in his retirement, with a full sense of satisfaction for having given himself and his best to our people. This is a quiet political year in South Carolina, that is in the big field of operations. In the counties gome of the best known public figures have opposition. I have hot checked on all, but Senator McEachin of Florence, Senator McLure of Union, Spds^ker Solomon Dlati of Barnwell and Congressman McMillan coma to mind., But in the statd" contests Senator Burnet Maybank and Judge Bleaae are still carrying on a quiet, campaign! The same may be said of Colonel Wyhdham Manning and BxOovernor Olin Johnston, who are competing for the governorship. I am almost tempted to invite these gentlemen to tell me about their platforms, for in this day of war all of us are for the war and for the government. There is no question about that patriotism of any of the four gentlemen. In the governor's race both candidates are veterans of the Ffret World War. Colonel Manning has three sons in this war; Ex-Governor Johnston's little child is far too yonng to think of the horrors of war. I Senator Maybank is young, aggreeilve and whole-heartedly a supporter of the New Deal; Jedge Blease, after s career of great distinction, leaves his voluntary retirement offering hlmsetf to the fople of the gtate. Jedso Mease is supporting the President1 and the Nation in the war effort, as' one might expect of a patriotic citizen. On domestic questions I am not: fully informed and do not /wish toj make guesses, whereas a few days orj weeks will bring all the information necessary. As regards the four gentlemen we are fortunate that all aro four-square Americans. So for as our state Is concerned, it is supremely important that we choose level-headed men. Mere flagwaving, boasting or bombast should not elect any man to any office. Let us choose men of sound judgment, safe and sane men. Of more importance than what a man says should be what he is. A really sound man, even on a bad platform is better than an unsafe man on a good platform. The war will not last forever. Let us choose legislators who have both feet on the ground; xnei who wish to serve the state; not merely men who are representing special groups or Interests. WORD8 OF AP PRC I ATI ON I want to express my thanks to my j many friends both white and colored, in and out of the city, for their kind-' ness shown during my illness. Oatefully yours, John S. Myers I Can't Call Off Speaking, Says Smith Wllltston, June 19.?Chairman Wincheater Smith of tho state Democratic party's executive committee said tonight he believed tho committee "would not be able" to cancel the, summer campaign Itinerary. ! Smith aaid no requests for cancellation of tho county-to-county spoak-) lug hud reached him. When told of tho request of National Defense Transportation Director Jospeh H. Dustman's request that county and state fairs be cancelled, and other unessential public gatherings be ubandoned to conserve tiros and gasoline, Smith said: "My idea is that we couldn't do anything about It. The (Democratic) state convention refused to cuncel the tour. I believe It would tako a convention meeting to drop the scheduled tour." The committee recently shortened i the tour by scheduling two moetlngs' a day. Cassatt News Notes * ('iihHiitt.

HOW DO I'Oil USE YOUR MILK QUOTA? Fluid I Milk Vjv W y Cream \ (159 qt$. milk) 1 16.6 U>* Butter (157 qts. milk) \ >iK ntmUd Milks (29 qU milk) Sourc? of <UU ? U. S. D. A An Average Person Consumes the ~ ? Equivalent of 390 Quarts of Milk ~ Each Year More milk is consumed In fluid form In the United States than In any other way. As milk and cream, the average person consumes the equivalent of 159 quarts of milk a year. Milk is the nation's No. 1 protective food. "To achieve optimum health, consumption should be greatly increased," states Mrs. Ethel Austin Martin, Director of Nqtrltlon for the National Dairy Council. The minimum recommendation Of one pint of milk for each adult and one quart of milk for each child calls for an average per capita consumption of about 270 quarts of milk in fluid form. Butter Is the best natural food source of vitamin A. It also contains certain other growth factors not found in most fats. The average person in the United States consumes 16.6 pounds of butter a year which is much less than is desirable far optimum health. To make this amount of butter, 157 quarts of milk are required. Because cheese contains nearly all tbe ingredients of milk, it is considered one of tht most Important of tbe protective foods. From the standpoint of both economy and food value, it deserves a much more important place in the American diet. The 5.7 pounds of cheese which the average American consumes in a . year requires 26 quarts of milk in its manufacture. Ice cream is rapidly coming to be appreciated for its palatability, food value and economy. Consumption of ice cream Is more than double that of eight years ago and is increasing rapidly. Nineteen quarts of milk are needed to make the 10.t quarts of ice cream that the average person consumes in a year. In addition to the above wellknown products, 29 quarts of milk go into the manufacture of concentrated and dry milk products. > Chronicle Subscribers PLEASE TAKE NOTICE!
