ONWARD MIGHTY MEN TO
THE MOON!
Europe’s dictators have sat down
around a Rome conference table,
“thunk” a little about the matter—
and announced that the continent of
Africa is theirs. The fact that some
other nations are still in possession
of the lands that the dictators parcel
ed out amonjr themselves, does not
strike the dictators as being- anything
unusual. Possession means nothing
to some people.
This is a unique way to acquire real
estate and commends itself to all who
abhor war and bloodshed and fighting
over land. It is such a truly remark
able way of obtaining some of the
earth’s land that Uncle Sam could sit
down in Washington, carve up Asia
in the same manner and never cause
an agry hair to rise on a Nipponese
bean.
A more glamorous enterprise of
this sort awaits the dictators, and it
would yield results as substantial as
the parceling out of enemv-held ter
ritory in Africa. The moon still
awaits discovery, carving up and col
onization. The venture would anger
no one except perhaps the inhabi
tants of that planet. But since moon-
folk are said to be largely mythical,
it is likely that no one would be in
jured in the long run.
Of course some rude fellows In the
“decadent” democracies might scoff
at the venture and term it sheer
“moonshine” but that would not deter
dictators who’re said to be “moony’
anyway.
Onward, mighty men, to the moon!
FARLEY SILENT ON
NATIONAL TICKET
COL. HARRINGTON, WPA HEAD,
DIES IN CONNECTICUT
New London, Conn., Sept. 30.—
Colonel F. C. Harrington, national
commissioner of the works projects
administration, died tonight at a
hospital here where he underwent an
operation a week ago.
Colonel Harrington was stricken
ill while visiting at the summer
home of his brother-in-law, William
Rayburn, and entered the hospital
about two weeks ago. Physicians
said he was suffering from an in-
testional obstruction.
He apparent)y was recovering fol
lowing the operation, but complica
tions developed and his condition be
came critical last night.
His two children, William Har
rington, a student at Yale, and
Miss Eleanor Harrington, were at
the bedside. Harry Hopkins, form
er secretary of commerce who is a
close personal friend of Harrington,
and Howard Hunter, the deputy
WPA commissioner, also came here
when they learned of the serious
ness of his condition.
New York, Sept. 30.—James 3.
Farley, who recently resigned as
Democratic national chairman, open
ed the New York state Democratic
convention today and turned to the
introduction of the keynote speaker
without mentioning his party’s nat
ional ticket.
Presenting Gov. Herbert H. Leh
man, Farley referred to a long line of
New York Governors and added that
“No man has ever given the state a
greater administration than has the
present governor.”
“We are fortunate indeed that he
is at Albany at the present time,”
said Farley, state party chairman.
ELLIOT ROOSEVELT
ASKED TO RESIGN
Dodge City, Kas., Sept. 30.—The
Dodge City junior chamber of com
merce today telegraphed Elliott
Roosevelt, son of the president, ask
ing him to resign his recently ac
quired captaincy in the air corps.
The telegram read: “The morale of
the young men of the nation has been
badly shaken by your appointment to
an undeserved position In the air
corps. Will you remedy this situa
tion in part by resigning your cap
taincy immediately?”
BUILDING IS LOW
Building permits issued t>y Sam
Beam amounted to only $2,586 for
September. Of that amount $186 was
for repairs. An annex of five rooms
being added to O’Neall Methodist
church will total $2400.

Spectator
What makes us butcher our lan
guage? For years I heard this. “I
met quite a few”; or “I have quite a
few”. “Few” itself indicates a
highly restricted number. “Quite a
few”, as usually used, is a contradic
tion. “I have a few” would convey
the idea of several, so if we say
“quite a few”, what do you mean?
But here is an expression which rubs
me the wrong way all the time: “We
don’t have any”. Even purists in lan
guage indulge in such expressions. A
beautiful teacher of our tongue says
that and puts her stamp of approval
on it. Wouldn’t it suffice to say “We
haven’t any?” The old stylists and
masters of the quill, like Dr. Ball and
Dr. Dreher, Brother Brunson, and
“Bishop” Smoak,—they shoot straight
from the shoulder, without firing un
necessary words.
New Yorkers must be the greatest
walkers in the world. There may be
a million cars in the city, but it is
certain that at least five million New
Yorkers ride in busses or subway
trains. And 1 that means that they do
a lot of walking. Does it sound con
tradictory? Well, here is a typical
experience: to go more than ten
blocks a New Yorker will take the
subway. That great railway runs
under the ground and at terrific
speed. Of course, one entering New
York on a train from the South rides
under the river; and those entering
the city from the South in cars or
buses pass under the river through
the Holland tunnel.
A man living a hundred blocks
from his work would find the buses
too slow, for they stop at every cor
ner and also get mixed up in traffic
jams. Perhaps half the working pop
ulation lives more than a hundred
blocks, for I have been across at least
two hundred and fifty blocks. To go
a hundred blocks, or more, one would
walk an average of three blocks to a
subway station, then do down two
flights of steps and some yards down
the platform. Arriving at his desti
nation he would repeat all that, as an
average.
The average New Yorker is willing
to give you information, but the av
erage New Yorker can run you rag
ged will all the misinformation he
gives you. The truth is that the av
erage New Yorker may find his way
about the city but he doesn’t know
enough about it to help anybody else.
They remind me of what I've heard
about a kinsman of mine. He was seen
directing visitors in Washington. Up
on being asked if he really knew the
city well enought to direct visitors
he replied: “No; but everybody else
has told me wrong so why shouldn’t
I tell others?” If you meet two New
Yorkers and ask how to go to a given
point they will debate the subject,
and will probably both be wrong as
your weary feet will proclaim in about
fifteen minutes.
every man must know his job and be
able to do his part effectively.
If there is one accomplishment we
Americans boast of—and rightly—it
is our ability to drive motor vehicles.
If we have thirty million cars and
trucks we must have at least forty
million who can drive, not counting
the back-seat drivers. So it would
seem that our army should be able to
climb into trucks and travel at a rate
of forty miles an hour. But not so,
for I’ve recently read a statement
that in practice our army barely av
eraged sixteen miles an hour. Shi
Millions ox men can’t cooperate ef
ficiently without training. They can’t
do it even in the industries of peace,
and certainly much less in the stress
of war. A hundred thousand civilians
are a mob; but a hundred thousand
soldiers are an army. The difference
is training. A hundred thousand civ
ilians, however capable ordinarily, are
just so many individuals at cross
purposes, a hundred thousand soldiers
are so many disciplined units acting
together. A very fine gentlemen who
is president of a great enterprise was
in a hospital in Columbia for some
weeks. Wc. talked about his busi
ness affairs very briefly, but he said
“I’m not worried about the mills; we
have a good organization”. Certain
ly, and every man knew his work.
That is why there is so much need
for training in the plan of defense;
■yOU can no longer *ft at borne
and concern yourself solely
with nev/s of local interest. What *
going on in the remotest corners
of the globe concerns every citizen
of the United States, and every
person living in South Carolmu ...
and every person needs a live daily
newspaper to keep him accurately
informed on the rapid changes
taking place in the world of today.
History Is In The Making
TsJOW as never before you want to read adequate reporting of ALL
the news. The three top ranking press associations of the world
pour 75,000 words of exciting news and features into the office of The
News and Courier every night, and in addition, special correspondents
throughout the state and staff reporters cover middle and eastern
South Carolina for the news of the day. Eight electric printers re
ceive reports from around the world that enable you, sitting »t home
with your morning paper, to visit a hundred places at once.
Keep up with the world! Read the news and
features in The News and Courier!
hades
of old Stonewall Jackson; he march
ed his ragged army up and down the
Shenandoah Valley making forty
miles a day on foot! Of course the
trucks are capable of greater speed
than sixteen miles an hour; but the
speed of the truck depends on the
ability of the driver to keep it in con
dition. This poor average springs
from delays and breakdowns due to
half-trained drivers by the thousands,
and there are thousands of trucks in
our ordinary hauling sendee which
average 76,000 to 100,000 miles with
out mechanical adjustment, but long
practice brought that about. That
may seem simple, but a first-class
truck driver is not made in a day, nor
a month. And if time be needed to
train drivers of army trucks, just
imagine the training necessary to be
come expert with a machine gun, and
the larger caliber field pieces are
highly delicate and intricate mach
ines. And remember that this is a
day of mechanics in warfare.
I went to the Fair. It was about
12 miles from the center of the city
and is built on a tract of twelve hund
red acres, a hundred of which is filled
in, or made land. Any farmer can
figure out how much walking he must
do to get around twelve hundred
acres.
I walked by the hour and rode by
the hour but the end was not yet. I
joined a party with a guide and we
walked and rode for an hour more—
and scratched it again. And then
during an afternoon and two nights I
walked without guides.
It is worth seeing. Progress looks
at you from every corner. To go thru
any one of fifteen or twenty of the
pincipal exhibits would justify the
trip. The lighting effects were splen-
did.
Although I spent much time (and
some money) at the Fair and would
like to go to see the DuPont exhibit
and hear the lectures, I was not
greatly impressed by some of the
most elaborate exhibits. What I en
joyed most of all was outside the Fair.
I went repeatedly to Rockefeller Cen
ter, the group of stupendous buildings
erected by John D. Rockefeller. Radio
City is a part of the group. I went
through the N. B. C. studios, but W.
I. S. is almost as impressive. I don’t
say that to suggest that our people
come here in great numbers and add
to the labors of this busy station; but
I say seriously that if you under
stood all that goes on here you will
have an even clearer idea of radio
than you can get by taking a studio
tour in New York.
The finest show I saw was not an
act; it was just the daily routine of a
score of men on the ground but think
of the romance as they stand there
watching a giant airplane come in or
go out.
La Guardia airfield is a station for
arriving and departing planes: It is
an enormous field but even now it is
too small. Within an hour I saw
eight or ten giant planes leave and
five or six come in. Two enormous
Stratoliners came in and one flew out
as I stood on the observation plat
form and gazed enraptured. I made
two visits to this great airport. I once
was stationed at a great American
Airport in France—Prunieres—and
have never lost the thrill which comes
from watching the great planes swoop
down from the skies or soar aloft in
to the clouds.
OCTOBER BUSY MONTH FOR
THE ALERT FARMER
Besides the usual harvesting of the
main crops there is plenty of import
ant work to do in October, says Coun
ty Agent P. B. Ezell, making these
timely suggestions:
Agronomy
Start now saving stable manure
for next year’s crops. Plant winter
cover crops to reduce loss of plant
food and to add nitrogen. Plant oats
early for best results. Sow barley as
a source of excellent food. Secure
the best wheat for seeding immed
lately after the first killing frost.
Horticulture
Select varieties adapted to your sec
tion, and place order for fruit trees
with a reliable nursery. 2. Cut out
all dead branches on fruit trees be
fore the leaves drop. Thin out young
turnips, beets, kale, spinach, and let
tuce to hasten developmeit. 4 Gather
green tomatoes just before frost and
store in a cool place, even half-grown
ones will ripen. If the supply of
greens is limited, plant immediately
some seven-top turnips.
Agricultural Engineering
In planting small grain set fur
row-openers to run approximately
three inches deep. This may prevent
some winter killing. Check over plows,
cultivators, and other idle machin
ery on the farm for needed repairs
and cover all bright parts with grease
to prevent rusting. Repair breaks or
low places on terraces. Check fire
places, chimneys, and flues for needed
repairs before cold weather.
Plant Diseases and Insects
Treat small grain seed for smut,
or plant smut-resistant oats. Select
sweet potato seed from disease-free
vines. Use paradichlorobenzine by
October 10th to control oeachtree
borer, except where it is planned to
use ethylene dichloride. Harvest com
early to reduce weevil infestation.
Fumigate stored grain with carbon
bisulfide. Requeen hives and feed
bees where necessary. Continue to
guard against the screwworm.
