Columbia, April 15.—More than half a million dollars have been spent by the National Youth Admini stration to furnish part time em ployment for a monthly average of 2,990 students working their ways through South Carolina high schools between 1935 and January 1, 1939. This included $15,487 spent in Newberry county for an average of 83 student aid scholarships a month. State Director Roger L. Coe, who released the figures today, asserted the federal government, through the NYA was “doing its utmost to give these youngsters a high school edu cation, an absolute prerequisite in this day of highly specialized fields of work, which they might not other wise have had.” Doctor Coe set the total amount spent by the NYA an these high school scholarships at $576,806 in the state, and added that similar scholarships were being given to colleges. However, he said, the ma jor part of the student aid program dealt with high schools. In Newberry county alone, Doctor Coe said, as of last February 28, a total of 99 were receiving high school aid from the NYA, including 40 young men and 59 young women. High school aid recipients are se lected on the basis of need, since the purpose of the NYA student aid pro gram is to “give a lift” to young people who might otherwise find it financially impossible to attend high school. They receive a maximum of 20 cents an hour but may not work more than 20 hours or earn more than $4 a month. This amount en ables them to buy needed school sup plies, meals, and, occasionally, small articles of necessary clothing. Certain scholastic requirement* must be met, the student having to maintain certain average grades and carry not less than three fourth of a full course of study. They are selected by the NYA, on recommen dation of the respective school auth orities up to quotas allowed each school. Doctor Coe emphasized that the student aid program was “absolute ly not a dole system" as he asserted, “Those youngsters work for every cent they make.” The part time work done by these young people includes clerical and stenographic work in school offices; filing, cataloguing and general su pervision in school libraries; build ings and grounds maintenance and beautification and class room, lab oratory and school kitchen and din ing room assistance. Such work as these students do, Doctor Coe said, does not compete with private labor. “The appreciation shown by the Newberry county communities in which these student aid activities are being carried on is most en couraging,” the state NYA director commented. “It makes us feel our efforts are most worthwhile and that the program is j. laying a defi nite part in helping the young peo ple of this atate to move ahead in^ life.” He also pointed out that many of these students, although unable financially to continue on to college, were enabled, through the practical training given them in their NYA part time jobs, to qualify themselves for jobs in private employment af ter graduation from high school. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES The committee which was asked to handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce until a complete reor ganization is effected announces that the office is now being kept open every day with a young lady in charge, who will take care of the de tails of the office. These who have business with the committee are ask ed to meet with them at their daily meetings which are held at 3:30 every weekday save Saturday. Persons desiring to hold confer ences and comittee meetings at the Chamber of Commerce are most wel come to do so. Through the cooperation of Mrs. J. H. Summer, head of the NYA a young lady is being furnished the Chamber of Commerce until its re organization is completed. Miss Jon- elle Perry is working this week. Next week another young lady will serve. In this way the young ladies will get office training while doing a good turn.

PERFECTION . . .regimentation From the days when men first began t<^ think, philosophers and dreamers have been devising schemes for a perfect social order. Most of them sound well, read well when put on paper. I have read and reread all of the various projects for reorganizing society so that everybody will be happy. I find the same weakness in all of them. They all overlook the human element and the natural desire of everybody to live his own life *n his own way. There is no way in which human activities can be controlled except by force. We are witnessing now in Europe the operations of social organizations based upon force. Men and women are regimented servants of the state, compelled to live and work and even play according to plans laid down for them by the dic tators. Nobody can make me believe that the peoples of Germany, of Italy and of Russia are happy under the re strictions and regulations imposed upon them. They are human be ings, like the rest of us. The pur pose of any government ought to be the greatest happiness of the great est number. That is what makes America different from most other nations. WELFARE rights Under the term “welfare” we are beginning to develop in this country a theory that people should have, not what they want but what some body thinks is good for them. It seems to me that every such ecort is an infringement on the most funda mental of human rights, the right to live as one pleases. It is an easy step from telling j people what is good for them and in- ' sisting upon their changing their ways of life to conform to some standard of living that has been de cided upon by authority. Under the American system, fortunately, no body has any authority to tell any body how they ought to live and what they must do. A good many of the plans which are being tried, however, look to me like efforts to bribe people into or dering their lives in ways which they never would do voluntarily. Paying money from public funds to keep farmers from planting what ever crops they please is one such example. There is no sure road to happiness, but the one which leads to it most often is the road marked ‘Indepen dence.” The happiest people are those who are least dependent upon others, family, friends, society in general, or government. Truly independent people do not have to be helped; they do not have to be entertained or coddled. They develop their own resources of life and living and they are not the ones who call on government for help when things go hard with them. There are many more of that sort of Americans than there are of the sort who are constantly trying to get government .to do something for them. . My chief fear for the fu ture of the United States is that we are getting so many people into Hie habit of yelping for help whenever things go wrong that we may come to believe that it is only by heeding all such appeals that the nation can be led along the road to happiness. Such a philosophy will lead us nowhere except to general regimen tation and dependence, instead of indpendence. YOUTH > . . working One reason why I think the Amer ican spirit of independence is not vanishing is the number of young men and young women I run across who are making their own way under their own power and not complaining that there is no chance for anybody any more. I stopped at a filling station not long ago and was so impressed by the appearance and attentivenese of the young man who filled my tank that I began to draw him out. , It turned out that he is a university graduate, bent on learning the oil business from the bottom up. “The president of our company started as an oil driller," he said. “I’m on my way up, too.” In Washington reAntly I compli mented my taxi-driver on the clean liness of his car. That started him talking. Under thirty, he owns seven taxicabs, driving one and renting the others. • He started with just enough for the down payment on his first car. “I don’t know any way to get ahead but by working,” he said. “I’m working for m; self, not for a boss, and I figure I’i! get ahead fast er than some of these guys in ‘gov ernment jobs.” OPPORTUNITY .... security There are as great opportunities in America as there ever were: rather more, I believe. They are ready to the hand of anybody who is able to recognize an opportunity when he sees it, and who has the courage to take a chance. What any young man can do with his op portunity is up to him and nobody else. One thing which many overlook is that an opportunity for profit also is an opportunity for loss. Nobody makes money without risk of losing money. The ones who are afraid to take a chance are the ones who de mand security, permanent steady jobs or else working on W. P. A. We hear a lot about “Social Se curity,” when as a cold matter of fact there is no such thing. There can be no security, in any real sense, for anybody, anywhere, at any time. The sooner we get rid of the notion that there is some sort of magic by which the world can be re made so that nobody will have to worry about where his bread-and- butter is coming from, the faster we will get back to national sanity and begin to be prosperous again.
