1 TRUE TO OURSELVES, OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD. Forty-Third Year Established June 5, 1902 McCORMICK, S. C.* THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1945 Number 3® 1 r WASHINGTON. (NWNS). — Al though President Roosevelt is gen erally given credit for being the father of the New Deal, there is little doubt, after listening to the testimony of former Vice President Wallace before the senate com merce committee, that Mr. Wallace Is its most Srdent guardian. For in his statement to the com mittee, Mr. Wallace frankly and clearly expounded all of the princi pals of New Dealism and went sev eral steps farther than the Presi dent has ever gone in proposing government-controlled social re forms. It was obvious, while lis tening to Mr. Wallace, that this committee hearing was an historic event For his appeal really put it ■up to our representatives in Wash ington to^ decide, once and for all, whether our government should become a loving and generous par ent to the people, or should consider personal social responsibilities to be outside of its province. Mr. Wallace made it crystal clear that the kind of government he dreams about, and will work for, is one which will guarantee a job to every man, will assure each citizen a comfortable home, adequate medical care, protection against economic worries, and a good edu cation. He wants to make the Presi dent's "Second Bill of Rights"—the proposal which includes all of these social programs—as important as the original Bill of Rights. And he thinks the government should spend whatever number of billions, is necessary to carry out this plan for "prosperity and security for all." Although there are many in Washington who bitterly oppose , Mr. Wallace’s goals, and con sider them highly impractical, even they will admit that he ' pot his cards on the table and ' left it up to the people and 1 their representatives to decide whether they want his social ised type or government or whether they don’t. Mr. Wallace said that the chief question in deciding whether he should be secretary of commerce and head of the RFC should hinge on whether RFC funds should be used to help small business or only large business. .But he later made it clfear that there was a lot more to the decision than that when he ex pounded his social philosophy of government and his determination, if put in power, to give life to that philosophy. It is believed by many here j that Mr. Wallace has high < hopes of being the next Presi- ! dent of the United States and | that President Roosevelt is working with him toward that end. It is evident that the man ' who controls billions of dollars of RFC funds, and who will have a major hand in the post- j war employment program, may be in an excellent position -to run for that office. v Although the Wallace debate took the limelight temporarily away from the national service act, that measure undoubtedly is the most important war measure which con gress has had to decide upon in a long time. And from the political viewpoint it is one of the most dif ficult decisions congress has ever had to make. For it is supported by the President, by the army, by the navy and by war agencies, but is op posed by representatives of labor and of industry. That means a definite split in congress, even though Under-Secretary of War Patterson, in an interview with the North American Newspaper Al liance, tried to make it entirely a war problem when he said, “The issue now before congress is wheth er the home front is really ready to go all-out in backing our men at the fighting fronts, or whether it is not.” tspmimm!

Dr. James L. Craft, Baptist Lay man of Chicago, will be the speak er on the Baptist Radio Hour next Sunday morning, February 11, at 8:30. He is a well known speaker at laymen’s meetings throughout the South and has appeared on the program of the Southern Baptist Convention. The Baptist Brotherhood of the South under the leadership of Mr. Lawson H. Cooke, Secretary, is leading a movement to have one million men at their radios to hear Mr. Craft. The indications are that this number of men will be secured to hear this prominent and popular layman. Mr. Craft’s subject will be, “In Business With God”. Let me ear nestly urge all of the laymen, es pecially of this community, to hear this outstanding Baptist lay man next Sunday morning at 8:30 -9:00 o’clock. Business men can- aot afford to miss this address. The music on these Baptist Hour programs is the best. One failing ;o hear any one of these services is himself the loser. The Baptis f Hour will continue each Sunday morning through March. These programs are designed to stimu- ate the spiritual life in America. They are carried over thirty-siv stations as a public service and are heard all over the South. Sincerely yours, L. K. Simpson. R. E.

We like for these pupils to be out standing in friendliness, character, scholarship, or citizenship. The pupils excel who try to do right toward all school activities. Let’s discourage those pupils who try to do unwise things, just to get by with something. Don’t follow your neighbor, learn to form your opinions, and live by your de cisions.

E. BOOZER The R. E. Club is collecting paper. We are going to give it to the U. S. O. I think this is a good thing to put our time in because it will help the paper shortage. “Yet I doubt not through the ages one increasing purpose runs” Tennyson. It’s rather difficult for us living in this crucial hour of the world’s history to place any confidence or faith in a “far off divine event” towards which the world is mov ing. With the aerial navies rain ing ghastly death and destruction upon the human race, any idea of a sovereign Gcd who controls th<- destiny of all men seems to be s bit frivolous and ridiculous. But the same poet who dreamec’ of that “far off divine event” was also the poet who visioned the aerial navies raining ghastly death and destruction upon the world And the test of our faith lies here - even though we are living in e | ^fantile Paralysis fund. The j High School gave $39.36 and the Grammar School gave $29.31. Chape! / Last week Dr. Reid brought our chapel message. He talked abou‘ over coming defeat, which was very appropriate at the end of the term. Dr. Reid assured us that one defeat should inspire us to greater success. Poems The ninth grade English Clas' has been writing poetry. We work ed and really enjoyed it, for the class was really interested.

President Rooserefit states, “Durijig the past three years every American who Iras played a part in the job of grow ing, harvesting, distributing ani processing our food supply has done a magnificent job. As we enter a new year, the de mands for our food at home aid abroad are so great that it is es sential for every man and woma* to do everything to help in the huge task of getting the food pro duced and seeing that it is con served and shared. Many of our favorite foods are scarce. To this end, I ask the people in cities, towns and villages to assist rcr farmers in every possible way to reach the food goals v/hichhave jeen set for this year.” The tall round trees in state grow, do world, All the people will be in a whVtf And there are people on the run To see their husbands, sweet hearts cr sons. As our soldiers march along All the bands will ring out strong All the music sounds very sweet With the flags v/aving on the streets. Hearts will throb in a grateful way Cn that glad.
