HAZEL Editor and Publisher Dear Readers: Hy good friend, STROU THURMOND, of ay na tive county of Edgefield, has announced as a can didate for the office of Governor of South Caro lina* I am writing this endorsement of his can didacy, not because of county pride or a sense of duty, but because 1 know him well enough and have known him long enough to say it is my fins belief that he will make the people an able and honest Governor If elected,-one of whom tho ontlro Stato will bo proud, and who will do honor to ^hls high * office not only at home but in the eyes of the nation* I knew Strom Thurmond when ho was a strip ling boy around Edgefield, when ho was a student at ClOBSon, ah agricultural toabhor. County Su perintendent of Education, Stato Senator, JudgO and soldier. I have watched him develop from a promising youth to the fine and upstanding man he Is today. His grandfather and mine walked home from Virginia together after the surrender of GENERAL LEE, and a friendship was cemented be tween them that lasted throughout the years of their lives and was handed dovh to their sons (our fathers), and to us, their grandsons. I knew Strom's father for many years, one of South Caiolina's ablest lawyers of the past genora- tioii, as well as one of her outstanding citizens> and 1 loved him, as I do Strom. And his mother, whose family name he bears, is from one of Edge- field's finest old families. Strom Thurmond has a heritage of character and ability, and he has lived and is living nobly up to it. He graduated .from Cleroson as a mere youth, and was an agricultural teaucher at the age of 20— the youngest in the State. At 25 he was alected County Superintendent of Education, State Sena tor at 29, and Circuit Judge at 35, at the time be ing the youngest izan in each of thesa offices. Although exempted by his position, ho volun teered for service the day war with Germany was declared, and served three and a half years, being discharged at the end of hostilities. That he performed his duties is shown by his hav ing been awarded the Legion of Merit "for excep tionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services,* the Bronze Star for •heroism on the field of battle,* the Purple Heart for "injuries received In aetion against the enemy*• snd the French Croix de Guerre for "exceptional services of war rendered in the course of operations for the liberation of France." He landed in France on D-Day with the 82nd .Airborne Division on June 6, 1944, and received the Bronze Arrowhead for being a member pf the assault troopy landing in enemy-held terrltoiir in France; the Unit Citation for "outstanding performance of duty in action in the initial as-^ sdult on the coast of France ;* medals In the American, the European and tha Faoirio thealrea, as sell as the Vietory sad tiro Battle Starjiu As a member of the State Senate.' Strom Thurmond supported higher salaries for teachers, longer school terms, and the school attendance law. Ha was the author of a bill increasing ben- iefits to laborers under the Workmen's Compensa tion Act; supported measures to provide for tobac co research and other bills vitally affecting farmers. He was a member of the Social Security Committee that wrote the flfst Social Security' Bill, trhioh provided assistance for the aged, and benefits for dependent children, the blind and other handioapped people. He was a member of the coMittee that prepared the Rural Electri fication and Santee-Cooper laws; was chairman of the^ Publie Buildings conmittte that sponsor ed the bill that resulted in the erection of the now State Office BuUdlng, saving the State over 120,000 annually in rents. And when the General Assembly voted its members extra pay. of over 11,000, he refused to* accept it and this money was turned back into the State Treasury. Thurmond was a member of the Board of Trus tees <rf Winthrop College for several years, and his work for that institution, both as a membel of the State Senate and as trustee, was so appre ciated that one of its buildings was named "Thur- ~mond Hall." He has served in such varied capacities as Superintendent of the Baptist Sunday School, County Chairman of the Red Cross, President of the Clemson College Alumni Association; Stato Councilor of tho Junior Order of Unifed Amerioaifi Mechanics, President of tho Lions Club, Vico- Prosldent of tho South Carolina Bar Association, • and as a dologato to the National Democratic Con ventions of 1932 and 1936. Ho Is a member of the American Legion, Veterahs of Foreign Wars, Vet^ erans of Global Wars, the Masonic Order, Wood men of the World, Loyal Order of Moose, Sons of the American Revolution! and the South Carolina’ Farm Bureau. Strom Thufmond is not only an able man, but. still has the energy of youth. Although the son of an eminent lawyer, he was brought up to work,, laboring on his father's farm until he entered Clemson, and on the farm and in the cotton mill at^ Edgefield between his college years. If elected, he promises to advocate poli«v' cies best for the masses.of the people, and that will resiUt in the greatest good forithe great- Quinber—and this I am confident he will do. Strom Thurmond showed his good faith by ra-. signinglir^iSir^hen he announced for Governor, and it is my belief that tha people will show i their faith in him by nominating him for Governor, in the coming Democratic primary* . the Advocate usually takes no active bart in a political oa^ign, unless It is to support a local man in a State or district race, but4n this case I faal that In supporting Strom Thur-CT mond the paper is performing a real seryicOoj^lw, people of SopthCwol^./ ^ , (PdStkd fm hy •ij.
