C..^ Ail artkles.submitted for publication must be signed by the author FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1947 THE Over in taken the bi young men, dates for eh BISHOPVILLE EXPERIMENT lishopville a large group of citizens have 11 by the horns and are drafting seven Veterans of the world war, to be candi- ^tion for mayor and councilmen. A Bishopville paper last week carried a large ad vertisement headed, “Veterans! We Again Ask Your Help.” Then the story goes on to explain that the citizens request the young men named to offer themselves as candidates. The young men are selected because they belong to no special group'Or faction, and would—if elected—enter office owing no person or persons any political obligation. "'I The citizens state that they want an administra tion that will publish quarterly reports of the finan cial condition of the town, salaries paid to town em ployees, fines collected, delinquent taxes, parking meter income, install additional pumps for ample water supply, extend sewage facilities and* pave streets. It’s an interesting experiment and if t>ie old adage that “youth must be served" is true, some other towns might follow the Bishopville pattern. THE OLD REFRAIN The press of the nation has given a lot of space on Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Miss Larraine Day of the movies, whose marraige will not be recognized as legal by the California courts until one year has elapsed. The sob-sister stuff of the press has served to occasion a wide wave of maudlin sym pathy for the baseball player and the movie maiden. We knonv that the ruling of the California judge that Mr. Durocher and Miss Day must wait a year sounds a familiar refrain to Mr. Durocher. His hopes of an early marriage are so like the hopes of his ball club back in Brooklyn. We can imagine that Leo must have fancied ihimself back at EbbeU field where the rally ing cry of the never-say-dic followers of Dose Bums is "Wait until next year.” SoU Conservation Contest Thd Lynches River *oll conser vation district supervisors in co operation with the South CaroIUu Bankers association are sponsoring an essay contest on soU conserva tion, The subject of the essay is "Our Land.” This contest is con ducted because the sponsors real ise that the entire population of the world la dependent upon the lop six Inches of the earth's sur face.
