FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 19S9 PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN AMERICA’S FOREIGN POLICY The people of the United States do not want any part in any war. That can be asserted as a definite, un challengeable statement of fact. The people of the United States as a whole, consider the quarrels of European nations with each other as no concern of ours. That is also a positive statement of fact, The people of the United States are bitterly resentful of Japan’s arm ed invasion of China, but are far from being convinced that it is our duty, therefore, to go to war with Japan. The people of the United States are, on the whole, sympathetic with the European democracies, especia'- ly Britain and France, in any strug gle to maintain the human liberties which we, also, chreish, in case those liberties are threatened from witn- out. But the people of the United States are far from being convinced that those liberties, so far, are threatened; nor do most Americans believe that a threat to them is a threat to our own liberties. The people of the United States are in pretty general agreement that the conquest and colonization of any part of the American continent by any European or other foreign power might constitute a threat to our li berties, or at least require action on our part to defend the invaded coun try, not in their particular interest, but in our own. That is the essence of the Monroe Doctrine. The people of the United States believe that our surest prootection against being drawn into any war is to build up our Navy, Air Force, and Army to a point of efficiency where no other nation would dare to make war against us. The people of the United States believe that the less we meddle with foreign affairs and the more atten tion we pay to our own, the better off we will be, war or nowar. The foregoing statements we be lieve to be as accurate a picture of the average American citizen’s views on war as can be put, on paper. In a government of, by, and for the peo ple, they ought to be the guiding principle of the nation’s foreign po licy. VICTORY OVER HITLERISM The adoption by congress of a resoloution, sponsored by Judge Ho ward W. Smith, to appoint a special committee of five to investigate the National Labor Relations Board, is a victory over Hitlerisms in this coun try. The investigation, which is now assured, will probably lead to impor tant revisions of the Wagner act, and amendments passed that accord with fair and lawful practices in a democratic country. The labor act is one of the most undemocratic, alien and despootic pieces of legislation that ever dis graced the statute books of a free country. Initiated by a man bom in Germany, who has been here long enough to prize our free institutions, but doesn’t, the law has been a mill stone about the neck of legitimate business ever since it was enacted. It puzzled many democrats to see a Dutchman, looking across the Atlan tic at the despotism that has seized upon the land of his birth, have the gall to put Hitler’s vicious doctrine into the law of a free country. In successfully pushing his resolu tion through congress to investigate the labor board, Judge Smith may have delivered a fatal blow to the Hitlerism in the labor act. At any rate his victory is a valuable and pa triotic service to his country. WHITMIRE WOMAN DIES MONDAY MORNING Mrs. Mary Bessie Kidd, 59, wife of H. B. Kidd, died early Monday morn ing at her home in Whitmire. Ser vices were held Tuesday morning at her home on Larry street. The Rev. J. R. McKittrick was in charge assisted by the Rev. Mr. Brewer. In terment wag in O’Dell cemetery. Besides her husband she is sur vived by 11 children as follows: Mrs. Josephine Taylor, Wadesboro, N. C. Mrs. Mary Armstrong, Bessemer City, N.

Given notice that unless they re turned to work in five days their pay checks would be stopped, thousands of reliefers ignored the warning, thought the government was bluffing, and remained away from their jobs. They know now that the government wa s not trying a bluff. It meant business. After the expiration of the five day^’ notice, workers who refused to take up where they had left off were automatically dropped from the government pay rolls. The theater project was perhaps one of the costliest and most wasteful of all “boondoggling” projects initi ated by the new deal. Millions of dollars were tossed away on rehears als of plays that few cared to see and outrageously high rents for the ater buildings and office quarters. The project was going deeper in the hole and contributing nothing to the permanent welfare of the legitimate theater or to those engaged in the boondoggling. The firm manner with which con gress and the administration handled the strikes and the theater project may give them the backbone next January to begin the process of liquidating the “pious fraud” of re lief entirely. The country must return to .the sound democratic principle that citi zens must auport the government, not government the citizens. CUTTING 1 HEIR WAY TO FREEDOM News and Courier. Representative Hare of South Car olina was of the fifty-four Demo crats who voted against considering the appropriation of $800,000,000 for building dwelling houses. Represen tative Richards voted against con sidering the president’s spend-lend bill. So did Representative T. S. Mc Millan. Representative Fulmer voted for the Hatch bill. In the senate Mr. Byrnes voted against cutting $500,- 000,000 from the spend-lend bill and Senator Smith voted for it. In the closing days of the session the congressmen of South Carolina are voting according to their own minds, not the minds in and around the White House. Half, if not a ma jority of the delegation are now op posed to loading a debt on the backs of the Americans that in the words of Mr. Gore, the member thirty-one yeans old from Tennessee, will not be paid if the Tenneseeans should send him to congress thirty or forty years. MRS. BLAIR PASSES AT HOME IN CITY Funeral services for Mrs. Ellen Lillian Blair, 67, wife of G. T.

Did your mother ever rebuke you in your smallboy days, saying “¥00^ eyes are bigger than your stomach”? Well that holds true yet. It all hap pened at State Park, three miles from Myrtle Beach. In saying that I do not mean to credit Chief Forester Smith with providing the chicken. Lots of chickens were there—baked chickens, baked brown at that; but I’m talking about that toothsome, edible Southern delicacy known as fried chicken. Spectator likes to renew his friend ship with editors and goes out on the trail now and then to get fresh im pressions. He made a quick loop, calling at Florence, Marion, Conway, Myrtle Beach, and Georgetown. A blockaded road cut him off from Edi tor Cromer in Kingstree. Florence is so often spoken of as a Rail Road center that many for get that it is the hub of as fine farm ing country as can be found in the United States. For ten miles in every direction there is very little waste land. On the contrary the land is fertile and highly developed. Sub stantial, progressive farmers make up the rural environment and a fine shopping city tops it all. I did not see Editor Mason Brunson, for like all Editors of dailies he works late and comes down about nooon. One of his capable and courteous associ ates, however, did the honors of the office. Marion has always attracted me. There is something so steady, solid, and permanent about it. Nothing of the boom or fly-by-night here. The handsome, commodious homes, broad streets all breathe an atmosphere which to me is suggestive of a col— ege town. Must be the atmosphere of culture, like the gentle zephyr breath ing o’er a bank of violets, as Shakes peare says. Editor Palmer Johnson was at the door of the sanctum surveynig the commercial activities of the city as I approached and greeted his fellow scribe with all the quiet good humor and rich fellowship which character izes him. Leaving Marion I set out for Con way, chief city of the Independent Republic of Horry. Conway has become the capital of an economic unit as well as the poli tical seat of a great county. Horry is setting the pace toward attaining self-sufficiency. In tobacco, truck, and potatoes this county is leading in diversification and blazing the path to independence. Horry, through the development of Myrtle Beach, has become the pleasure and recreation center of the Sooutheast. Incidentally, Horry is free of or dinary county taxes this year. Every thing seems to smile on Horry. Editor H. H. Woodward was out about his manifold activities. A man who never stops, never rests, never pauses—he has a multitude of inter ests and he gives them his personal attention. Editor Wodward is a fighting man, a real crusader. Strength to him. From Conway the faithful car speeded for Myrtle Beach, where Editor W. G. Hazel of Bennettesville and Myrtle Beadh operates a big job office in addition to getting out The Myrtle Beach News. Mr. Hazel and I are friends of long standing— since we lived in old Saluda county, many years ago. Mr. Hazel received me as a brother and friend, the presence of the At lantic Ocean making it quite unne cessary to provide other liq id re freshment. Myrtle Beach is unique in its ex traordinary growth in permanent population and in its wide appeal as a resort. I find that people oi a half a dozen states feel quite as cloose to Myrtle Beach as we do. There is no place comparable to it in the Caro- linas, Georgia, or Virginia. Myrtle Beach is becoming one of the princi pal drawing cards of our State and our own people are here leaning to play again and renew their youth. Myrtle Beach is by way of being damp to the point of wetness. The whole Atlantic is spread in front and a considerable number of liquor stores operate, too. Why all this liquor business anyhow? One man says that unless liquor dealers have lots of competition a small group would soon own and operate the State. Georgetown, queen of the rivers, was my next objective. Pee Dee, Black, Sampit, Waccamaw Rivers, with Santee near. Lots of rivers at old Georgetown, flowing quietly along so as not to disturb the placid life fostered through generations. Georgetown has enjoyed distinction as a town of mellow living, the bene ficiary of five rivers, the hub of rice production; but today this county is alive with industry, emerging as a center of business activity. One thing has always impressed me here, even in 1933—the clean stores. Georgetown is on the crest of the wave: business is here for those who go after it. I saw Messrs. LaBruce and Wall ace of the Georgetown Times, two hustlers on the job. As they were busy with “forms” I didn’t tarry, fearing that they might call on me for press - work, thereby quickly proving that my mechanical genius never developed. Have you been to Brookgreen Gar den? Mr. Archie M. Huntington and his talented wife laid out a garden between Georgetown and Myrtle Beach—on a paved road—and gave this magnificent creation to our State. It is a work which proves the art and artistry of Mr. and Mrs. Huntington and shows an outpour ing of money to give form to an ar tist’s dream. A visit to Brookgreen is worth a long journey. The walk through the inner courts is sugges tive of the stateliness of a royal park. It is a place of wondrous beauty, majestic and serene. Some little way from Myrtle Beach, three miles, is Myrtle Beach State Park, a fine place for those who would enjoy the bounding surf in quiet and safety. Our State Forest Service has made a fine place there for all people, with camping sites, places to eat a picnic dinner and even to cook one. Cottages also may be rented from the State. I know of no place so suitable for a family outing as the State Park at Myrtle Beach. Someone has recently said that no special qualifications are necessary for the position of Superintendent of the State Penitentiary. That is not exactly f rue. It may be true that the requirements or the possbilities of the position have not always been considered, but the place itself would offer an opportunity for a competent executive and broad guage man of 81,209 MALARI A CASES REPORTED IN U.S. IN 1938 DON’T DELAY!

The Penitentiary itself is a big in stitution; it is a field for a humani tarian who can command respect; at the same time it needs a man who knows that two and two make four. Outside the walls of the Peniten tiary the Superintendent must oper ate Soveral farms which belong to the big institution. I have an idea that these farms offer an attractive oppor tunity to anybody who is a real farm manager. The Penitentiary itself offers a big market for a lot of pro duce and staple crops. Both farm and dairy would have an assured market. The surplus could be put in crcops not quickly perishable. Here is a ready supply of labor, good, fer tile land, no debt, no taxes, a sure market—what a delightful opportu nity that must be! If the State should employ more producers, the nature of the work permitting, and fewer spenders we might bring about some marked changes. Farmers, imagine the possibilities of a sure market, good land, steady and abundant labor, adequate capi tal, no debt and no taxes—if that wouldn’t be glory to a fanner, what would be? Since the above was written, Gov ernor Maybank has appointed John M. Glenn of Anderson to direct the ac tivities of all the penal institutions.

Blease of Columbia SNAKES AND SUNSHINE The sun does much more than be stow new life on flowers and trees. It is unquestionably a disinfectant and a germicide, because it destroys numerous bacteria dangerous to the life of man and beast. It warms thee ground after the winter snows and causes seeds to grow and trees to blossom into leaves and fruit. As a medicine it is unequalled, for its ray s have great penetrating pow er and many have been cured of tu berculosis by exposing their nude bo dies to its caress. It positively bene fits other diseases, such as rheuma tism, arthritis, and neuritis when taken in the form of sun baths. Within recent years there have been conducted a series of experi ments with a view to determining just what, if any, action the sun had upon birds, animals, insects, and snakes, and the result, attained by the scientific observers are remark able. For example, it has been demon strated that wasps, hornets, and ho ney bees, are particularly active from eleven o’clock in the morning until four o’clock in the afternoon of sun ny" days. A sting from any of these insects before eleven o’clock and after four o’clock is less painful, for the simple reason that the poison injected into the spot bitten is not as strong as it is between eleven and four o’clock. Chemical and microscopical analy sis of the contents of the poison sacs of these insects show that on sunny days between the hours mentioned, the poison secreted is much more virulent. Incidentally the bees dis tribute more pollen and carry more honey to their hives on sunny days. An intensive study of the action of the sun’s rays on the three lethal snakes of this country—the rattler, the copperhead, and the moccasin— produced the same results, as far as the contents of their poison sacs were concerned, and durin*, the very warm months of July and August, in every snake examined, these sace were ac tually distended with the poisoon thus secreted. It was noted that before noon and after four o’clock, numerous small animals bitten by them recovered, while death invariably followed when they bit similar animals when the sun was warmest. Snakes and bees taken to Africa from the United States and then ex posed to Jhe srtrong equatorial sun rays, almost doubled their poison production. Bees fed on the flower of the buckwheat produced more painful bites with greater swelling about the area of their sting. It was the con clusion of the investigatoros that all snakes, insects, and animals absorb ed much energy from the rays of the sun, which explains why thesa crea tures like to bask in strong sunshine. Rome has asked Coney Island heads for information; Italy may build one of its own. 'fhat would give Mussolini another excuse for baring his chest. John Spearman Floyd, Sr., aged 67, prominent resident of the Silverstreet section, died Friday at Providence hospital, Columbia, following several weeks illness.
