IfASHINGTON, D.
There are many signs that up-to-
small towns in most parts of
the United States
will experience
expansion that
spells prosperity
after the war.
This pops out be
tween the lines of
a survey con
ducted by Small
Homes Guide, a
magazine de
voted to home
building, which
indicates that
more than a third
_ planning to build
homes after the war prefer small
towns and country areas.
This survey was the result of
questionnaires in 'the magazine
which almost 30,000 readers volun
tarily filled in and sent to the edi
tor. The questions were drafted on
acientiflc principles so that unbiased
answers, which truly rel!<K;ted the
intentions of those answering them,
would be obtained. The returns
came from all sections of the cotm-
tty. and are considered, a good
sample of average American re
actions.
Only 3 per cent of the people in
tending to build homes after tiie
war expect to settle down in large
dties, the survey revealed, and 17
per cent expect to build in medium
sized cities. Those expecting to build
in suburban areas were 40 per cent
of the total. But M .per cent expect
to bttUd right out in the country,
and 14 per cent want to build in
small towns. Two per cent of those
. returning questionnaires did not say
I in what t:^ of community they
I wished to live.
These answers show that many
[people have become disturbed over
crowded living conditions in the
cities during the war. Also; letters
from members of the .turned forces
indicate that there are phases of
[outdoor life that appeal to them.
Aside from the psychological
[reasons for selecting the country
[sod small towns, there are many
[economic reasons why much build-
ling will be done in rural areas after
[the war.
[Some of thie Reaaoru
For one thing, transportation
facilities will be improved greatly.
IRoad building on a large scale is
eing planned to provide employ-
[lent for returning servicemen.
Developments in engine design and
types of fuel will make trana-
atioD more economical and corn-
able. Competition between bus
s, air transport and railways will
1 to accelerate improvements. Aa

About the «1M8 Grid
Doc. Felix Blanchard, Biehopvllle’s
contribution to the football hall of
fame, who was at home Tiaiting his
mother and chatting with the boys
around the soda fountain In down
town Blsboprille last week, is think
ing of adding a trophy room to hts
homqeln the Lee county metropolis.
Doc.’^ career as an athlete, for he Is
about as good on the track and In
baseball as he is on the gridiron, has
earned him many medals-and awards
—so many in fact that be has a prob
lem on his hands on where they can
be fetored to the best advantage.
Naturally his mother and other XW
want [hem where they can he seen—
hence the trophy room idea.
In discussing the 1945 grid season
faced by the Army. Doc. thinks -that
the West Point eleven will get the
test of its career when they stack
up against the WolvMines from
Michigan. He says “it is going to
be a tough afternoon.”
Doc. also ventured tbe opinion that
Duke, which gave the Army a stiff
battle last fall, will be loaded again
this yeaf and should be tough in the
clutch.
Doc, is a modest chap in view of
the manner In which he held forth
Jn the national football spotlight last
year and he would much rather talk
about the 1945 grid prospects for [he
Army mule than about himself.
The liege of StaUagred aai Ita defense by every man, woman and
child hi file Red eKy, wU ahraye be eonsidered as a elassie of the
war. No city in Uztory ever withsiood sneh a powerful siege. It proved
the taming point la the war betwuen Russia and Germany.

Then, there are many war indus
tries which have beou scattered
around in rural areas, which will
be converted to peace-time produc
tion; and there is a slowly de
veloping movement toward decen
tralization of industry, which means
establishment of more small plants
in the country. Development of
chemurgical processes, whereby
farm products are used more and
more as industrial materials, is on
the way.
Equalization of freight rates for
the south and west, which is now
being vigorously sought by the Con
ference of Southern Governors, un
doubtedly would lead to the develop
ment of country area& which long^
have suffered from ram diacrimina-'
tion. The Department of the Inte
rior also plans extensive reclama
tion projects in the west, which
Would tend to build up many of the
Western states to support greatly
expanded populations.
Now Daaigm Wardad
One of the points brought out in
the survey was a leaning toward
hornet of low, rambling dtsifn,
vddeh is in sharp contrast with the
<dd fakhioned, cramped, two story
dwelling with dark basrnnent and
steep stairs. This unqusstionabljr
meant that mere peopit will seek
toufilry areas where land is cheap,

Every small cotmnunKy should
look over its resources now, to make
sure it is going to get ita share of
the new building, and consequent
merchandising, that win come to it
It should consider whether it la get-
a fair break in relation to new
aoper-highways that are to be con

has seen a lot of action In the jn'esent
world struggle. He can tell a lot of
strange tales of the happenings at tbel pricM are~ high
various war fronts but the recital that
interests this writer, an old news
paper pal of Stan’s daddy, concerns
a trip the,soldier made into the city
of Manila.
For a big city Manila is strangely
quiet," said Gores “Strangely quiet
except for the occasional laughter of
American soldiers and sailors having
a good time, and the Staccato clop,
clop of horse-drawn hacks making
their way along the rubbled streets.
“War and wanton destruction have
made Manila a shamble, leaving only
bricks and twisted steel where once
stood the most beautiful buildings in
the Far East. The modern business
district, the bridges across the Pasig
river, even the elite residential sec
tion along the water front show the
devastating effects of battle.
“For United States service meat
Manila has become a ieave city'
where veterans of the Pacific who
have spent two and three years in
the Pacific, in the jungles of New
Guinea, New Britain, BouganvUle and
other torrid islands come to rest and
see sights they have not seen since
leaving home. Bat they do not find
common luxorlet or bars where they
buy a foamy glass of ice cold
boef.
“Instead they find what Is left of
Manila, a faw boildlngs intact, the
charred sMhtoos ef towerihg struc
tures and a stout-hearted, courageous
people, busily setting alxmt the huge
task of roconstruction.
“Manila teems with soldiers and
sailors on leave, looking for places
they can buy souvenirs, ice cream or
beer. The streets are dusty, cracked
from bombs and shells and debris
which fell while the Japanese carried
out the cruel destruction of the fam
ous Philippines capital in a fight

Southern Railway
Asks People Forego
Unnecessary Trips
Stressing the fact that the millions
of service men and women who have
finished their job in Europe are hurry
ing halfway around hte globe to Join
in the final'assault against the Japs,
the Southern Railway System is again
asking people in Its territory to forego
all unnecessary train trips this suni-
ber. The appeal is contained in a
sutement to* the public by Ernest E.
Norris, president of the railway.
"It’s the greatest mass transporta
tion job in history," Mr. Norris says,
“and oqe that is taxing to the limit
all \>t our transportation facilities.
That’s why the righting man from
your home or your neighborhood asks
you not to'travel unless your trip Is
necessary.”
Mr. Norris suggests that summer
vacations be spent at home or nearby
and that week-end pleasure jaunts be
postponed until the transportation
crisis is passed.
“■We know you’ll cooperate gladly
and cheerfully. Just aa we will do,"
Mr. Norris adds, “because It’s the
service men and women who need all
our transportation facilities now.’’

Has Your Enterprise
Been Enumerated?
Mr. E. O. Layton, Ix>cal Supervisor,
2nd Census District of South Carolina,
announces that all Enumerators • in
Kershaw County have completed the
Agriculture Census Euumeratiou.
Any persons operating general
farms, grrenhuuses, mushroom cel
lars, hatcheries, or who keep cow.'<
or other livestock, chickens or other
poultry, or bees, or who grow flowers,
vegetables or fruit for sale, and who
have $250.00 or more of products from
such enterprises In 1944 or if less
than $250.00 ha«l 3 or more acres,
should have been contacted by Census
Enumerators.
In order to be certain that no Agri
cultural Enterprise has bwm over
looked, and tt) have the Enumeration
in the County as complete as possible,
if Is requested that the names and
addresses of any persons not ennm

result, service men on leave, cannot
stay long in Manila because they run
out of money. -r-
In the center of the city, a build
ing, its roof badly chipped and tom
by shells, serves as the home of the
American Red Cross. Here service
men, somewhat bewildered by high
prices and destruction, find refuge
from thetr worries. It provides them
a little of what they afe seeking.
“From 9 a. m. to 5 p. 'm. the Red
Cross serves coM drinks. At certain
Rours they also include jelly and
pfanut butter sandwiclves. There are
desk on which to write letters, chairs
^ which to relax, books to read, a
boUettn board and the ever-popping
pinx pong tables. Pretty Red Ovms
girls give newly-arriving service men
direction and information. Despite
the monotony of their tasks their
smiles do not appear artificial but
genolnaly stacaiw. FlUpino girls also
assist in Red Cross efforts.
One ef the outstanding features
of every overseas Red Cross are the
State books, listing names of visitors
from all ovsr the United States. I
found many names of Wisconsin peo
ple on the day I waa there. Strangely
enough, however, Malnla la a big eity,
