Meet' the People • • (Each week In thia apace will be presented a picture ana word portrait of someone whose itame Is news.) To James F. Byrnes, former U. S. senator and Supreme court justice, has fallen the un-r pleasant task of telling you what you must do without and, if possible, making you like it. ■ As director of economic stabilization, tact ful, self-effacing “Jimmy” Byrnes’ authority tops that of price administrator, Leon Hen derson, equals that of Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War Production board. Known as moderately conservative, Byrnes is not likely to attempt sweeping reforms. His first job will be to eliminate war profiteering by imposing enormous sacrifices on those who expected to get rich. As a senator, Byrnes voted regularly with the farm bloc. He voted for the Wagner La bor Relations act, but against the Wage-Hour law and sit-down strikes. As a Supreme court justice he was deliberate, thoughtful, and usually fairiy conservative. James F. Byrnes • Mrs. Charles Edward Fooshe of Jacksonville, Fla., spent several days here this week with Miss Marylyn Hadden at the home of Mrs. Lucy A. Sturkey.

X McConniek Lions Host To Teachers ABOVE ^HULLABALOO By LYTLE HULL VICTORY LIES FORWARD, NOT BACKWARD USE OUR LAY AWAY PLAN « SHOP AND SAVE AT GALLANT-BELK COMPANY Greenwood’s Largest And Best Department Store GREENWOOD, S. C. Members of the McCormick Public Schools faculty were guests of the McCormick Lions Club on Tuesday evening of last week when they entertained with a de lightful banquet at the comunity house. President James M. Dorn was master of ceremonies and two new members were initiated, J. H. Can non and William Fooshe. Supt. E. F. Gettys of the De la Howe School spoke on the “Responsibil ities and Privileges of Teachers.” X Mileage Rationing Dates Changed Mileage rationing has been changed from Nov. 22 to Dec. 1, 1942. Due to this change the pres ent “S” Rations must be used up to midnight Nov. 30, as the new transport “T” Rations will become effective on Dec. 1. This change in dates also applies to present holders of Service S Rations cov ering government owned or leased passenger cars who should receive the new “official” ration to become effective Dec. 1. X Collecting Old Silk And Rayon How many times a day do we dismally say—or hear said—that “if it had not been for our bad management at Pearl Harbor be fore the Japanese attack we would now have control of the Pacific,” or, “if the British hadn’t been so smug we might still hold the Ma layan Peninsula and Singapore,” or, “if the French hadn’t been so confident about the Maginot line they would still be fighting.” Well — there was bad manage ment at Pearl Harbor prior to December 7; the British were too self-confident in Malaya, and the French seemed to have forgotten that the Maginot line had two ends. But all that is “water over the dam”— and we can’t run it back up hill, and we won’t win victories by complaining about past mistakes. Of course some folks are just naturally unhappy unless they can keep themselves and others in misery by always figuring on how wonderful everything would be — if. These “Glooms” only “if” one way. You never hear one of them say—“imagine the present situa tion if the Germans had pursued the British from Dunkerque to England”; or, “how would we be feeling now if the Japs had fol lowed their devastating air attack on Pearl Harbor with a huge in vasion fleet?” or, “what would no' r v be the chance of ever beating th? Axis if the original German-Rus- sian agreement had remained in force and Germany had not de stroyed a large portion of her strength in the Russian cam paigns?” No—misery loving people only recall the bad breaks—never the good ones. They spend most of their lives this way, and they never progress. They either re main static or they drift backwar l into oblivion. They never have time to take advantage of th' good breaks because they spen l half of it belly-aching about tin bad ones. Imagine trying to run a war that way! We wouldn . last six months. You never knev; a successful man or woman in your whole life who wasted r*. moment “ifing.” The successful people are like ant&—if someon; steps on their “hill” they go to work immediately to rebuild : \ Ants apparently don’t stand a- round and wail about what hap pened and can’t be undone. No—there is only one road to success in life, and that road lies ahead. There is only one road u Victory—and that road lies ahead also. It is filled with ruts and' mud holes like the ones we havi already passed — Pearl Harbor, Shanghai, and Maginot lines—bu> at the end of it lies Victory and Peace. He who looks back too of ten brings defeat upon himself. ^ Certificate Of War Necessity For Trucks Postponed The Messenger To Print Wednesday Of Next Week Under the direction of the Wom en’s Division of the Home Defense Council a movement is on foot for the collection of all old silk and rayon hose for military use.
