Strom Thurmond yesterday set aside March 9 to April 9 In South Carolina as Easter Seal month. In a proclamation Issued from the ezecutlre offices In Columbia he declared that support of the 17th annual* Easter Seal, Drive is of paramountr«lmportance to every cltlsen of the .state since it will make possible the continuation and possibly, the greatly needed expan sion of services to the crippled children and adults of the state, given by the Crippled Children “ Society of South Carolina and Hs county affiliates. . Governor Thurmond said that “It Is the right of every child to have - an .opportunity for a happy, healthy Childhood and an adulthood in which the rewards of effort are self-sustenance and integration in to our economy. This right can only be exercised by crippled chil dren when they have the best avail able care and guidance. “It is our duty apd our privilege as citisens of this state, Uf offer a helping hand to those less fortun ate than ourselves in the spirit of , warm-hearted brotherliness. The specialized services of rehabilita tion, medical and educational aid are being most ably given the crippled children of our state by the Crippled Children Society of South Carolina.” He pointed out that services to the crippled are necessarily costly an<f"becoming more costly and that since the Easter Seal campaign , helps toward support of the ser- . vices, that all citizens were urged to aid “this drive and thus help our handicapped children flhd their rightful place in our world."

In his statement, the Governor said: “All good Democrats in South Carolina should take note of state ments in news dispatches of March 5 from Washington, D. C., boldly asserting that the Truman machine is going to make every effort to control the county and state con ventions soon to be held in this state. We accept the challenge. “There are not enough federal jobs and patronage in Washington to cause the real democrats of our state to turn their back on the democracy of South Carolina so clearly enunciated by the 1948 state convention. Mr. Boyle and his Pen- dergast machine may as well real ize now that they are not going to run the politics of South Carolina. We know that Maxle Collins and others who speak for the Truman supporters in South Carolina are already at work seeking to build up a heavy pro-Truman t enrollment with the hope of dominating, our heretofore White Democratic meet ings. We will meet Mr Boyld and those who speak for him in the precincts, in the county and state conventions, and on the bustlings. When the campaign is over South Carolina will demonstrate again that it stands for real Jefferson ian and Jacksonian democracy. “I urge all real South Carolina Democrats to attend their club meetings and prepare to follow through in sending real Democrats to the county and state conven tions. We must see to it that these zebrlne Truman-Wartng doctrines shall not take root in South Caro lina.” State Highway Takes Over Drive In Cantey Parkway The state highway department, which recently took over the drive in Cantey Parkway, has arranged to put in a twenty-foot black top asphalt street this com ing summer, according to High way Commissioner John Carl West.

Drive Carefully—Save a Life A “death ray" machine which will kill fruit flies and other ln- sects contaminating food and com modities is now being nsed in.ex periments by the U. 8. Bureau of Entomology and Plant QnarMtini- The experiments were described in a speech by A H. Yeomans of the bureau. ^ ^ Using 2,500,000 volts, the ex periments) model shoots electrons at the insects in blasts 1 sating only one-millionth of s second. At a range of 12 inches, the electrons kill insects over a 14-inch square. 4 The machine used is called a capacitron, first developed by the Electronlzed Chemical Company of New York, for sterilizing and pre serving foods. Experiments in kill ing insects with the “death ray” were begun st the requests of Hawaiian agricultural experta who were worried about the presence of fruit flies in food exported from tbs Islands. The government entomologists are experimenting with the ma chine to determine whether the rays will harm the food for human use. The makers of the machine are pretty sure the rays will not be harmful to human*. If the machines prove successful, they coqld be set up at ports of entry, or in warehouses where food is stored after it enters this coun try. So fax the rays have killed mosquitoes, fruit flits, carpet beet les, flour beetles and other kinds of insects. They work as well on Insects In the egg or larva stage. The one-mlllionth of a second blast sounds like a rifle shot and looks like a burst of flame, accord ing to Mr. Yeomans. JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES “Peace On Earth,” When?
