PROGRAM OF PROGRESS FOR S. C. 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.
