W, At lanta 3, Gil Dfear Mr. Baldanxi: Tills will acknowledge your let ter of Oct 17th In which you state that your CTO organising committee la conducting an "or ganising campaign” In Augusta. 'While no anally this sort of mat- tor is not directed to me, your let- thr solicits my suggestions, help and criticisms. It ends with the statement (hat It is your convic tion that your endeavors will prove a “blessing” rto our eommairity. As secretary of the Augusta Chamber of Commerce, R is not ionly my endeavor but It 9s part of my duty to Be as fully conversant as possible with the problems which affect the rttheaa of Au* gusta and the Augusta area. Theae Include problems in the field of Industrial 'relations. It Is part of my job In that field to know what Is going on generally In Augusta, In tha South, and in the Nation. .Over the past several years I have had occasion to observe the “blessings’' bestowed by your or- UTTLE THEATER ian ny Kaye is New England sad in the Soath. My (had many sf tl spaa which yot these “hleeaiags” do sot (ally agree with your deaignatios of them. 1 have hi the post ten or fifteen years soon virtually the whole cot tas textile iaduotry stove out of New England, leaving behind va cant buildings, smpty factories and deserted towns, largely as the re- salt of the "blessings” of your organisation.. I have also observ ed a law Southern cities where you have engaged la “organising cam paigns” Many of those communi ties have seen severe dislocations, loss of pay, loas of business enter prise, disruptions and dissentiou. heartaches and suffering to its citisens brought about by the ac tivities of your organisation in those communities. We In Augusta have enjoyed for many years peaceful Industrial re lations. I say with pardonable pride that the employers in this community are enlightened, are concerned with the welfare of their employee, and do not and have not needed outside pressure to inter est them in the welfare of their people. Our industry and our citi sens have prospered as the result of this program. We get along well with each other, and we are not prone to take too kindly to any one who seeks to destroy the har monious relations that have mark ed Augusta for the last several decades. While I am on the subject of ’’blessings,'' it occurs to me that it might be appropriate to ask if you are the same Mr. George Baldansl who was quoted in the Augusta papers approximately a year ago as having said at your union con- vention in Atlantic City: “We are faced with violence and religious bigotry in the South. Preachers preach against the union ... I do not want you to get the idea that the CIO drive is a honeymoon . . . I am telling you that before wo get through with the Southern drive, based os what we are now tacing, there will be people killed In the Soath ” I assume that you are the same person. I assume that speech dealt with the same type of “bles sings” that you are now proposing for AugusuL You have asked my advice and suggestions. I gave them to you freely. I do not think the people of Augusta will take kindly to that type of “blesslngi.” My beat sug gestion to you would be that un der all the circumstances, in (ho interest of Augusta, its employ ers, its employes, and its future, you take your “blessings'' else where. L. 8. MOODY, Secretary. New Training Union Director To Speak Here Sunday Night Good Future Is Seen For Beef Cattle Growers Beef cattle farmers have what is probably the brightest outlook for 1950 and the next several years of any clam of farmers in the nation, according to J. T. Graves, Clemson extension live stock specialist. He lists several vary good reasons why this situ ation exists. & “The buying public in the Uni ted States normally spends about 6 percent of their income for meat, and as long as the national income is good there will be good demand for livestock products,'* I he explains. “Another good reas on for the beef producers’ out look to stay bright is because cattle numbers have not kept Pisguh Nows sivj iemiita of Jay vStar* of his mother, Mrs. Lena McManus.

Mr. King Is to begin a weak of will be an introduction to die work for the week. Mr. King Is a graduate of Carson- Newman college in Tenneaae, and in 1920 and 105.7 million In 1950 there are about 79 cattle, an increase of less than 10 million head. The human pop ulation during this 30-year period has increased by about 50 million. Also, during the next 10 years the human population is expected to increase by about 15 million more,” he adds. Mr. Graves calls attention to a recent statement by Dr. W. F. Myers, dean of the Cornell Col lege of Agriculture, in which he stateu that livestock numbers have not increased as fast as human population and that livestock per person is approaching an all-time low. Dr. Myers adds that, in the last 60 years, there have been on ly five years when per capita numbers of livestock were lower than now. Sheep numbers in the United States are the lowest in a hundred years. “The East and South have al ways been large importers of beef from western states,” Mr. Graves states. "Southern farmers have a ready market for their beef cattle, since two-thirds of the hu man population lives east of the Mississippi and only one-third of the beef animals. More and more western beef is needed to supply the demands of Pacific coast stat es where the population has in- -eased more rapidly than any other section of the nation. “With restricted acreages of cot ton, peanuts, wheat, and tobacco South Carolina farmers need to produce more livestock in order to balance their farming program and carry out good aofl manage ment practices, 1 * he continues. 'The meet producer got 63 cents out of every dollar tha consumer spent for meat in 1949; the cotton fanner got 13 cents of the con sumer's dollar and tha tobacco farmer 18 cents. Beef cattle far mers are learning to produce cheap beef by providing cheap, year-round grazing and carrying out good management practices/ 1 he concludes. GOOD MIMUES IN GOOD FOODS A. & P.
