Friday, September’ 16, 1944 SWEET HOLY SPIRIT It is sweet to feel the Holy Spirit .de®P within, To feel our heart is free from sin; To feel our soul as fresh and clean— As flowers after a summer rain. “Oh, Holy Spirit," “Oh, Heavenly Dove,” Wing your way in our hearts from our Father above, Fill us with Joy day by day. And help us walk the narrow way. The Holy Spirit thrills our soul. As our faith in Jesus makes us whole; It is sweet to know of this bliss untold. And feel the glory in our soul unfold. • —Rosa Bellamy, State Park. BUILDING UP POSTWAR HANDICAPS The rapid progress of the war on all fronts makes it seem probable that it may not be necessary for many boys and girls now under eighteen years of age to enter the armed services. Those who have been or may yet be inducted, if their education has been interrupted, are now and will here after be given opportunity for further study at government expense, including in many cases subsistence while studying. The government recognizes the right of every American to an education, and gives it to him, with interest, if his military service in the crisis has interfered with his normal oppor- tunities. He must not be educationally handicapp^ after the war because "be nfielp^^oTwin Hie war. Not only so, but the men and women who have served in the war will bg given substantial preference by both gov ernment and industry in the matter of employment after the war. This means that boys and girls now under eighteen who do not at least finish high school will in a few years find themselves in fierce competition in the business world vith govemment-educated^servicemen and women who will hold an important and well deserved educational advantage be cause of having served, the nation^ its crisis. In other wc^s, the boy or girl now of high school age who doesn’t continue in school is placing heavy obstacles in his or her own way in the matter of getting a decent job after the war. BETTER CONTINUE IN SCHOOL THIS FALL. WILSON’S BIRTHPLACE South Carolina some years ago took steps to preserve the Woodrow Wilson home in Columbia. A board supervises the property and there is some one on duty to keep the place up and to show it to visitors. From time to time Wilsoniana is added. One item of interest is the b^ in which hie was bom. Now comes the i^ood ’ word'''from- Mrs: Cordell Hull, president of the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace Foundation, that A fund has been established to keep up the old^ Manse in Staunton, Ya., in which the great president was born. Already $50,000 has been given, and it is hoped to double the sum 80 as to provide adequate income to insure good care. Mr. Wilson's father who with his mother lies buried in the First Presbyterian church yard, Columbia, was pastor in Staunton when Tommy, as he was Imown in boyhood days, first saw the light of day. The furnishings of the house are said to be very much the same as they were in 1855 when the Rev. Joseph Ruggles Wilson first moved in. The child, who was later to be such an international figure, was bom there December 28, 1855, Ho was about 12 years old when. he moved to Columbia, where his father taught in the Co lumbia Theological seminary. The younger iWilson called the residence at Hampton and Henderson Streets home from that time until he went out into the world for himself after finish ing college.—^The State. —COMMON "SENSE-AT-CfflCySES- — Adherence to basic fire prevention rules will eliminate greatest fire dangers in circuses, says George W, Booth, Chief Engineer of the National Board of Fire Underwritera. Most cities permit circuses and carnivals to operate in tents without requiring them to meet the regulations for safety to life found in their building codes, ordinances, and other local legislation. This is probably due to the tem porary nature of such e^^hibitions. But the fact remains that the combustible nature of the tents, poles, seats, shavings, hay and straw used in connection with circuses and carnivals, calls for stringent enforcement of fire prevention measures. No license or occupancy permit should be issued for any circus or carnival until an inspection has shown that the fundamentals of safety to life, as prescribed for places of assembly, have been met to the most practicable degree possible. Fire appliances shquld be distributed throughout all tents, and operating personnel made familiar with their use. Local firemen should attend larger exhibitions and be fami liar with exits and fire fighting equipment “No Smoking” announcements should be made over loud speakers, and I>atrons should be required to discard lighted cigars and cigarettes at the entrance. Crowding should be avoided and facilities ];)rovided for calling the fire department which rtKmld be made familiar with the show after it is set up. “Safety at circuses and carnivals is largely a matter of fire prevention and quick action to extinguish a small fire,” says Mr. Booth. “The danger of panic is outstanding, and ample exit-ways must be assured.” “ttntmMimmim tmwmiiULmmt n mMrnfn Historic Boykm Pond Dramod*of All Water (Contlnned from first l»s«) will be required on the new hlshway location. It is Interesting to know that the new highway from Boykin to States* burg will He east of the Southern Rail* way right of way. thus eliminating a number of the present railroad cross ings. The draining of the Boykin pond required some five days time. The water was let out by way of the sluice* way so gradually that the thousands of game fish in the lake were able to /ind sanctuary In Swift Creek, the feeder stream to the lake. Swift Creek has probably resumed Its form er course through the lake area, a course that preralled sereral hundred years ago. The draining of the lake rereals a bottom that is studded with thousands iof short stumps, remants of trees that were' cut down away back tn the din past, when a Boykin first built the dam that created the lake. The new spillway that Is under con struction now is of concrete with rail, road Irons for gate guides. The spill way is to have a triple opening, each 12 feet wide and 11 feet deep. There will he nine gates, three to each sec tion. A control canal will carry'water to the “old swimming hole,” which is to be greatly improred. All of the work, and Boykin Is a scene of much activity these days. Is under the direction of Bolivar C. Boy kin, owner of Mill way Plantation which la virtually Boykin.
