THE SEARCH I sought Him where my Logic led. “This friend is always sure and right, His lantern is sufficient light— I need no Star,” I said. I sought Him in .he city square. Logic and I wene up and down The market-place of many a town. And He was never there. I tracked Him to the Mind’s far rim. The valiant Intellect went forth To east and west and south and north, And found no trace of Him- We walked the world from sun to sun, Logic and I, with little faith; But never came to Narazeth, Or found the Holy one. I sought in vain. And finally Back to the heart’s small house I crept, And fell upon my knees and w*pt, And lo, He came to me‘ —Sara Hende -son Hay. Defense Funds {Available to Rural Power May Be Lost by State SANTEE JOB TOTAL MOUNTS TO 10,692 Columbia, Dec. 20. — Governor Burnet R. Maybank expressed fear today that any delay in transferring state rural electrification authority lines to county cooperatives would tie up in the national defense pro gram funds available for coopera tives. The state REA has been enjoined temporarily, pending final disposi tion by the courts of an action brought by Representative John W. Crews of Columbia, from paying its cash on hand, totaling $90,000, to obligations allegedly not due for five years. The governor saidl, however, he would promptly, sign all transfers of state REA lines to cooperatives. Maybank said he presumed the federal government would proceed with the further development and extension of cooperatives’ lines, even though the money was tem porarily involved in litigation. “It seems to me that it is essen tial that these transfers of REA lines to cooperatives go through as soon as possible, so that funds now being held up pending these trans fers may be available,” he saia. “These (federal) funds, if held up longer, may get tied up in the great defense program, and so it is of the utmost importance, it seems to me, to push these transfers through quickly." Miss Ethel Jones left Monday morning for Orlando, Florida, where she will spend the holidays. Miss Theresa Leitzsey left Friday for her home in Fairfax where she will remain during the holidays. Employment on the Santee-Cooper development totals 10,682, and the peak work period about has been reached. The WPA has an announc ed goal of 600 more to go.

The employment breakdown is: WPA, 8,407; contractors, 1,864; Har- za Engineering company field office force 89; Harza Charleston office force, 34; South Carolina Public Ser vice authority, 225; PWA, 62, and federal power commission, 1. Yesterday the authority announc ed award to the Atlar.iic Dredging company, of Washington, N. C., at $747,050, of the upper two and one- quarter miles of the four-mile canal which will link the Pinopolis reser voir and the Cooper river.
