TBU1 TO OUBSKLYIBI, OUB NBIOHBOBB, OUB COUNTBT AND OUB GOD. :■ I i 1 orty-Second Year Established June 5, 1902 McCORMICK, S. C.* THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1943 Number 5 This We ik in SHINGTDN Washington, D. C., July 5. — (NWNS)—Ever since the state governors got together in Colum bus and compared notes on how the federal government is gradu ally taking over control of their states, there has been a rapidly developing movement here to cut down on the activities of out-of- Washington offices of federal a- gen^es. Some of the governors pointed out that the number of federal employees located in- their states is five to six times as great as the 'number of state employees. They analyzed how these federal agencies were taking over one state power after another. As the facts came out, the governors be came more and more angry over the situation and finally all got together in passing a resolution to have their executive committee stop any further encroachments on their territory. They intend to have every new piece of legis lation creating a peacetime bureau examined—and to work er not necessarily in support of those candidates of either party that are striving to carry out the mandates of the voters, but in support of those who will sustain them in their bureaucratic secur ity and will not disrupt their or ganizations.” Political analysts here were particularly interested in Gover nor Maw’s reference to these bureau workers as “non-politi cal”. It has been the general o- pinion that, since many of the bureaus were created by the New Deal, that the bureaus are a strong New Deal force. But Gov ernor Maw made it clear that, having become secure in their jobs, the bureaucrats were loyal only to themselves and would support whatever party would as sure them that their particular bureau and their particular job would be supported. Most of the more conservative members of the federal govern ments, who have objected to the growth cf bureaucracy anyway, out amendments to such legisla- ! £ee it as an extremely healthy tion which would put the admini- : gjgn to have the state leaders lay- stration of new bureaus under | i ng plans to get power away from the state governments. Congressmen, who want the support of their state governors, are reviewing the statements of the governors with great interest. They realize that the majority of state leaders are in agreement with the sentiments strongly ex pressed by Governor Herbert B. Maw of Utah, who said: Today the bureaus are non- political. They owe their allegi ance to no party. They, are af fected by no elections; They are not controlled by the will of the public. Yet they are one of the strongest single political influ ences in the nation, throwing the weight of their huge voting pow- the federal government and into the state governments. Some keen observers here are under the impression that the federal bureaucracy is getting ev en bigger than the New Dea wants—and that its leaders now realize that by having millions of federal employees, they have created something which is be yond their power to control. When there was a scarcity of jobs anc the New Deal gave work to thou sands of people, those people be came strong supporters of the party in power. But now, with jobs as plentiful as they are, this loyalty to the government is no longer so apparent. Evangelistic Services At McCormick Baptist Church, July 11-21.

I have heard several farmers lx the last few days talking abouS planting of fall Irish potatoes. H. E. Freeland has been very suc cessful in growing fall potatoes. Summer and Fall Gardens. S> many folks have splendid Spring gardens, but when the sun gets hot and the garden gets real grassy they let the garden fever cool off. Now is the time to plant turnips, beans, rutabagas, beets, carrots, squash, Irish po tatoes, also to transplant collards, cabbages, and tomatoes. Use lib eral amount of well rotted ma nure, as the manure will hold four times as much moisture as just clay soil. James Ferqueron sold the first watermelon, Saturday, July 3rd, tkat I have seen grown in Mc Cormick County for one dollar, and it was ripe when cut. We have been talking lime— but, fellows, we must start using more—it helps. I can carry you where it has been 'used and the farmer will make you wish you had already bought. Some dusting will be done and I think it a good idea. Use four pounds per acre and repeat in five days as recommended by Clemson specialists. We cannot depend on the weather all to gether. We have boll weevils—I have arsenate. The gardens entered in the Bracknell Victory Garden Contest have been inspected with same exceptions and others will have a visit as soon as possible. Don’t forget that fall gardens are in cluded, as this contest does not close until December T, 1943. We want a year-’rouiid garden. More, food is the aim of this contest. X Modoc News 1 Mt.
