Letters To Mimi From Her Dad Dear Ml in I: Occasionally I encounter people who are Inclined to discredit South Carolina and the South. It Im amazing that moat of theHo are natives and a huge part of them are educated -and should know belter Many of them dlrteHiewin our leadership and assort that It la necessary for uh to Ko Into dlatant territory for executives to direct our Institutions and in 11 our buslnossos Homo allege that our educational Institutions are below the Htundard of those In other sections of the country. ()! pity the Ignorance of these ungrateful heirs to this land of proud h? rltuge and noble tradition. Thoy yfiiust be Informed! Have you examined the records? Well, when you do, you will find that it's the other way around* . Other sections come to the South for leadership. Just to name u few Instances: All three of 1'rosidont Roosevelt's secretaries are southern men. Marvin Hunter Mclntyre was born In LaOrange (Oldham County), Kentucky, was educated in the South und worked on southern newspapers. Stephen Early was horn at Crozet, Virginia. MaJ. (Jen. Edwin Murtln Watson was horn at En fan la, AlubamA. He Is military aids to the President. Our most brilliant national statesman, Cordoll Hull, Is a native of Ten* motto o. Oeneral Oeorge C. Marshall, Chief of Staff. U. S. Army. Is a graduate of Virginia Military Institute? not of West Point. The most 'outstanding bunker In New York Is a South-Carolinian. Bornard Baruch, the world's top man of finance, hulls from right here In Camden. Jimmy ltyrnes, next In power to I Roosevelt, was born, reared, practiced law and ran a country newspaper at Aiken, South Carolina. Juhi turning through the latest Congressional Directory I stumbled (quite by chance) on the section covering the Court of Claims of the United States. I was not surprised to find that four of Its five members were of southern stock. The Chief Justice of that couffcy .{tichard 8mlth Whaley comes from Charleston. South Carolina. It would be Impossible to list the great that claim the South as their native soil. But, If you have time, search through the directories of gov. ernment, law, medicine, education, theology, engineering, and on down the line. You will find that the No Fooling?WFA * Means Business Proof thut the War Fpod Administration mean* business In enforcing the orders requiring permits for the slaughter of meat animals was turnIshed by the conviction of u restaurant owner In Mississippi last week, 'according to Jam oh P. Jeter, Federal Moat marketing supervisor for Kershaw county. Theo (JrllllH, owner of a prominent rcHtaurant in Jackson, was charged with hlaugbtorliig a bog without a permit and with offering for huIo meat that wan unfit for human consumptlon. Oji the flrHt charge he pleaded guilty and wan fined five thoueuud dollai'h. On the Hecond charge he was given a light fine and a suspended Jail sentence. lie had already been convicted and sentenced to two years In Jail by a State court for offering the (IiHcuHed meat for Hale. The Federal regulation requiring a permit for the Hluughter of meat animain 1h one of the Government's principal wcapoiiH In tho fight against black inurketH, Haiti Mr. Jeter. The fact that tho regulations was upheld In Federal court in th|h, the second such cane to be tried In the South, rneanH that the Government is propared to deal with flagrant violators to the full extent of tho law. Of txwrso, penalties hh severe as that In the GHIIIh case will be unusual, since this was a particularly serious offense. NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC LIGHT Photographs wlt.Ji an exposure of but one-millionth t>f a second, brief enough to stop a rifle billet of any fast moving object, can now bo made by a new high speed electronic flashlight equipment developed by engineers In Oeneral Electrlc's laboratory. Southern States have furnished leaderhslp out of proportion to thc.lr population. Check our institutions of learning and you'll find that they stand favorably with the best anywhere. Of course, there Is room for improvement. There is a need for economic development. There are demands for social advancement. But we can ^select our leaders from our own ranks. We have established a peculiar culture that Is all our own and we are proud of It. Wo will maintain It only through recognition of our own virtues. Lore, Your Dad. T\ S.: When smarter men are bred ?well, look to the South for them. Bond Groups To Be Merged -V Tho AC '"tliea of the War Savings Commit! t ami the Victory Uoun Committee of thin county, .groups which have promoted the sale of war bondH, will be consolidated, it la an nounced thla week. There will be eetabliahed In the county one committee, to be known tin the War Finance Committee, and which will hundle the regular, syste ntatlc suit* of war bonda, aa well aa tho apecial, periodic bond campaigns. There ta alao to he a merging of tho work of the State War Savings committee aud the State Victory l/oan committee, it ia announced In Columbia, and In thua couaolldating the overall slate direction of bond selling in South Carolina, the United States Treasury will be able to relievo tho collector of Internal Revenue, W. l\ Hewers, of what have been tho added duties ua state war bond administrator, a post the Treasury asked him to take, in addition to his regular work hh collector, at the atari | of tho war bond program in 1941. In relieving Mr. liowera and 20 other Collectors of Internal Revenue, of their function as bond adtninlatrar tors, Henry Morgonthau, Jr., secretary of the treasury praised the extra work they hud carried on for more than two years. "The administrative talent displayed by these collectors in organizing the State War Savings Staffs has been of great value in the war bond program," Mr. Morgenthau said. ''Largely through the efforts of the state organizations, war bonds are now held by more than 50 million persons in the United States and monthly sales have, In recent months, averaged more than a billion dollars a month, "Tho service the collectors have rendered has been in addition to their regular heavy responsibilities as Collectors of Internal Revenue. These public employees have unstintingly expended their own time and have been largely responsible for bringing together in each of their states the armies of volunteers who have worked under their leadership to make the continuing war finance program so successful." An early Announcement is expected of the make-up of the new county committees, as well as of the new state committee, and of the selection of a state bond executive. Under Soviet law, any citizen who refuses wor ko a woman simply because she is a woman, is liable to punishment. Agricultural Class Takes No Vacation While mast departments of Midway's efficient High school take a Vacation /or three months each y<ar. there la one department that keeps on the Job 12 months in tho year. That Is the Vocational Agriculture department of which ?r|l- Murphree is the hard working cmm. Mr."Murphree says thjit the Agricultural department has been well provided for in the new addition to the High school building The greater needs of his department. Mr. Murphree says, are outside of the main building. Here a cannery and a hatchery would be valued additions and would make up a well equipped Agricultural department. For tho past several years _ o ir efforts In preserving food have be -n badly crippled on account of lack of a community cannery. We have rot only4 had large amounts to can In pressure cookers, but the equipment has not been adequate to permit can-, nlng on a scale for a large fatally. We are now planning and confidently expecting an entirely nqw setup. A need which has beou rather acute for sometime is about to be fulfilled with the completion of a new cannery for tho Midway and surrounding community. With -this cannery in use the cramped conditions under which the community has worked will be relieved, and as a natural result of bettor working conditions and better equipment, more food should bo preserved. The equipment In the new cannery Is of good quality and will serve Its purpose admirably. With the market as It Is Just now. some of this equipment Is slow in arriving. All of It will not be In at the opening qf the cannery. When all of it la finally placed. It Is felt that Midway will have a cannery in which her citizens may feel a Just pride. Much thought on the part of the board of trustees has gone Into the planning and equipping of this cannery. Their time and energy have been contributed liberally to this project. The result will speak fftr Itself. Grow Fish For Food In Own Farm Ponds Clemson, July?Very few farms in South Carolina and the Southeast are without suitable sites for fish ponds, say conservationists of the Soil Conservation .Service and the Extension Service. Pointing out that a one-acre pond can be made to yleld^BO to 400 pounds of pan-size fish annually, they declare that mobt farmers need not worry about good catches of fish from their own ponds. Farmers %Jn South Carolina who have built fi% ponds and paid attention to Increasing the fish supply by applying fertilizer to the pond, protecting the pond watershed against -rosion. proper stocking, and other simple management practices usually come hack from homo-pond fishing trips with good strings of bream and bass, reports Ernest Games, state conservationist of the Soil Conservation Service. 1 Mr. Carnes calls attention to the recently issued Farmers' bulletin 1938, "Fish for Food from Farm Ponds," which tells ill simple one-two-three order how to build and manage fish ponds on the farm. Copies may be obtained from Ernest Carnes, Soil Conservation Service, Federal Land Hank building. Columbia. S. C. Fall Grain Program j For More Feed Crops Clemson. July?To provide the in' creased supply of feeds needed for i dairy cattle, planning now for the heaviest fall grain seeding ever made I in South Carolina is advised by C. G. Cushman. dairy specialist of the Extension Service. j Urging every effort toward increasI ed yields per acre of small grains, Mr. Cushman points out that low winter grain yields can be attributed to two main causes?seeding too late and improper fertilizing. As to Importance of early planting, Mr. Cushman cites tho old saying among farmers that every 30 days past September 1 in fall grain seeding costs 10 bushels per Rcre in yield. | I Unless fall grains follow cotton or corn, they should be fertilized atj planting time with a complete ferti-i lizer and top dressed In the spring for heavy yields. Indications are that, sufficient nitrogen fertilizers will be available for fertilizing at planting time as well as for top dressing next spring. A complete fertilizer under the grain crop with spring top-dressing will not only result In heavier yields o( grain but In heavier yields of the summer legume crops for hay which follow grain. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Mr. and Mrs. Edward B. Wooten and son, Brady, originally of this city, have moved their home from Bennettsville to Danville, Va., where Mr. Wooten has accepted a position with the cotton department of Dan River and Riverside Cotton Mills, the largest cotton mill in the world. Before going to Bennett8vllle two years ago, Mr. Wooten was for six years connected with the cotton department of Springs Cotton Mills In Lancaster, S. C.?Contributed. IN Trtfc MAIL (Continued FTOBi Page k) who. Inddenatlly. h?? no Ambition to be president. Ah jading president hj has done a creditable Job. because he had thul Job to do. If u can bo s?id of. anyone onnected with Wlnthrop College that he la an independent. It can be Wlid o! l)r Frusicr. I am not supporting him uh a choice for the presidency; he wishes and needs no such backingIlo Ih affected least by cliques and factions, among both faculty and students. than anybody I know at ,the college. A swift glance at Wlnthrop s recent history would show that ho has Hided, when It was bis place to Hide, with the group which seemed to him right rather than the group with power He has hejd himself aloof from politics and other unpleasantries. He has worked steadily for Wlnthrop. . To call this man a stranger is to admit your Ignorance regarding Winthrop. His record "as academic dean for a number of years is an enviable one. not only because he has performed well his duties but because he has commanded the respect of students, faculty members and alumnae allk.e Perhaps I am one of your 'unthinking students" who would turn Wlnthrop College into a playground, if my contention that l)r. Froser, a Rhodes scholar and long a student of education and educational administration, might handle satisfactorily the affairs of Wlnthrop puts me in that category I might also state the possibility that all those you nominated have been offered the presidency of the college and havo refused it. What I want is to see Wlnthrop shorn of conditions that make editorials like yours possible. I want to see at her helm a man who can steer tho ship back into the channel, whether he be from South Carolina or Oregon. I believe, however, that he should be one who knows what has gone on and is going on in tho school, a .man who is open minded, strong and courageous. Just because a man is a South Carolinian or a Southerner would not automatically give him those qualifications. Because our Southern educational system compares unfavorably with those in other sections is no reason to continue in our rut by being too narrow minded to bring in outsiders with ideas and a will for improvement. 1 repeat that what Wlnthrop College needs Is not a man with experience In guiding a small denominational college. but a man familiar with the workings of the state school who will know what he is about. The choice of a president is neither yours nor mine to make, but whoever is chosen should get the support of you, me and every other South Carolinian. It is my hope that you will fall in line, as I expect to do. A Wlnthrop Alumna. Dear Alumna: Intelligent difference of opinion is what makes democracy work. Therefore, in the interest of fairness we have reproduced your letter here. Your letter was selected over the many received mainly because it was the only one* that seriously differed with our editorial opinions on the Wlnthrop affair. Tn viewing this tragedy there are a few things you evidently fail to understand: (1) That the taxpayers own this institution and. if they have no right to inquire into its policies, then who does? (2) That this newspaper has concerned itself with finding the facts, that It has sources of information that are 'reliable, and that it has documentary evidence to substantiate what it has said. (3) That the conditions referred to have not been corrected or, eliminated. (it That the facts will-show that Wlnthrop's ^Administration was not sound up until-,'four years ago?and that many of tho same conditions exist now that Were born between 1934 and the presenKtime. (5) That only one oT^the men we "nominated" for the presidency of Wlnthrop has ever been seriously considered. much less offered the position. (6) That South Carolina and the Southern Stated have a heritage and a culture of which they are justly proudi one that is in many ways superior to those of other sections of the country?and that we have the materia] for college presidents and timber for any other executive "positions as can bo attested by the number of our people who are successfully managing tho affairs of government. big business and educational institutions from Main to Mexico. (7) That your sister alumnae do not agree with yous which is shown by the volume of correspondence we have had with loyal students and graduates from all over the State. (8) That this newspaper and every other newspaper as well as every citizen Is willing to fall In line when Wlnthrop decides that her role is not that of an educational, political sideshow but one of faithful service to tho people of our 8tate. (9) That the college has no acting president; a committee irom the hoard of directors is functioning in the capacity of president. The Editor. The automobile industry at its peak in 1941 achieved a production totalling S3.700.000.000. An income tax was imposed in Palestine in 1941 for tho first time since the Biblical days of tithe.
