AGRICULTURE The Clemson Extension Service has prepared a compre> hensive ^'Peacetime Agricultural Program for South Carolina, 1946,*’ which is being announced in papers throughout the state. Much thought has gone into t^e preparation of this program and every one of the ^ints stressed is of vital im> Portance to not only the farmers of South Carolina but to all of the other citzens of the state as well. We cannot urge too much that every farmer and every citizen study this program carefully and that a very sincere effort be made to carry out its provisions,. As all of our readers Iniow, agriculture is the backbone of the nation, and especially is this true here in South Caro lina and Kershaw County. In the past the backbone has been bent andjfalmost broken and when that happened every one else suffered as well as the fanner. We feel sure that we will all prosper if the farmer sticks by the program set down by the Clemson Extension Service. It is a good pro gram, a comprehensive proipram, and one that should be oarri^ out to the best ability of every' resident of South Carolina. i TORCH-BEARERS It is often said that we who are alive today are better People because our ancestors lived before us. So we are. All of us are better simply because each generation that has ever lived helps to carry forward a torch, that blazes the way to more wisdom^ tolerance and freedom. . B^ch generation receives a priceless gift from all those •who oame before. It is the accumulated knowledge and ex periences of those who have passed on. And each genera tion, for its own part, adds something to that knowledge. Then it passes it on to its children, they to theirs and so on through time everlasting. Thus, every new-born child has a head start over his par ents. This head start takes many forms, added knowledge learned from newer textbooks, greater opportunities in brand new fields of activity, and higher living standards that each year bring new conveniences into the reach of'the average family. Few of us realize that much of this has come about mainly becuse'of paper. Few of us stop to think that the top quality pulp wood that is delivered to nearby pulpwood mills is the stuff upon which all mankind has advanced from one generation to the next, from the dawn of history to the present time. Each generation widens its knowledge, develops its newly found resources, finds new uses for paper. Today, for example, the pulp and paper industry is expanding; even be fore reconversion has becom^ an accomplished fact, making room for new jobs, and, through its war research, offering new pulpwood products to business and household markets. Without paper, paperboard and other pulpwood ducts we would still be living ii^ the dark ages. CONGRESS SHOULD ACT — NOW! prp.- The CIO leaders have taken things into their own hands with their demand for excessive wage increases. Whenever steep adva^nces are forced upon employers the cost sooner or later must be ^ssed on to the consumer. If the €10 has its way, prices will soar, inflation will Spread and the farm er inevitably will get it in the neck. It is time that Congress took a hand—^to regulate these labor monopolies that put power for a few union leaders be fore prosperity for the people, that ride rough-shod over the best interests of the naton. In the steel strike, for instance, the CIO rejected the highest wage increase ever offered by a steel company. That offer would have paid the average worker $52.32 a week, not including overtime. But the union’s leaders wanted more, whether they wrecked the country’s economy or not. Mean while, their members walk the streets with no wages at all. Benjamin F. Fairless, U. Si Steel’s president, wonders whether the strikers realize that “for each week of work lost on strike the steel worker would have to work about nine months at the higher (union) figure in order to come out even.’’ We don’t believe they’ve thought of that. You can bet there are Jots of thein who wish they were working. Many have worked in one place for maybe twenty years. They had steady jobs and chances for advancement. They had rising pay and good working conditions. They had opportunities to resolve differences by collective bargaining. 'Hiat’s a lot to give up for the dubious privilege of following heedless counsel. We suggest both strikers and their arrogant leaders paste this in their hats: -- It’s work that will cure our ills^-not walkouts. We also urge that Congress stick this on its mirror: It’s up to YOU to act quickly, bef<Mre it’s too late. psychology at Emorf, he was a mem ber of the Valdosta, Georgia, Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Val dosta Rotary Club.
