THE NEWBERRY SUM FRl -.AY 24. mi McEACHIN WANTS ‘FEARLESS’ ACTION Postive Finance Steps are Held Need —Cites Failare to Finance Welfare Columbia, Jan. 21.—Poative and tangible action to obtain additional revenue for operations of the state government was urged today by Sen ator P. H. McEachin of Florence just before the senate finance committee prepared to join the house ways and means committee in appropriations hearings. McEachin charged that the finance committee and the senate itself had never faced the revenue question “fearlessly” since the inauguration of the public welfare orosrram in 193T. It was “our failure to nnance public welfare when it started”, he said, that YALE TIRES 12 Months Guarantee • 30 GO 90 Day Terms The trusty new tread on Yale Tires gives safety, with silence.

Coleman Co. Phone 400 was chiefly responisble for the |3,- 500,000 deficit confronting the state by the end of the fiscal year. At the time the public welfare pro gram was launched the state had a $1,500,000 surplus, McEachin remind ed the senate. A Practical Measure He urged the finance committee to provide a “practical revenue bill” and predicted that such a measure would receive prompt approval. Senator Warren of Hampton re minded McEachin that they sponsored a bill to put the state into the liquor business as a means of obtaining new revenue. “You warned the senate that it would face a deficit this year, didn’t you?” Warren asked him. “That’s right,” McEachin said. Senator Jefferies of Colleton, the new finance chairman, invited at net senators to make suggestions pertain, ing to the work of the committee. He reported that the ways and means committee had agreed to have the fin ance committee sit in on the hearings with a view toward speeding work on the appropriation bill. Short Session Possible “If we are willing to do a little work,” Jefferies said, “we can have a short session.” He announced the ap pointment of a sub-committee com posed of himself, Senators Brown of Barnwell, Abrams of Newberry, Par- ler of Dorchester and Rowland of Oco nee to consider revenue needs. This sub-commitee will “keep in mind necessary expenditures in draft ing revenue measures,” he said. The house adopted and sent to the senate a concurrent resolution by Representative Chadwick of Saluda requesting congress to increase the amount of federal contributions for public welfare. This would “relieve to a greater extent the over-burdened states,” the resolution said. The senate concurred in a house resolution paying tribute to the late Dr. E. W. Sikes, former president of Clemson college. WHAT DO YOU GET FOR YOUR DIME r LfauA. fyiiesuHL} /V&Ufhh&i dealer Everyone is interestf-d in getting the most for his money. You don’t have to be stingy to want to get full value for the money you spend, but have you ever stopped to think of the difference in what you can get in the dime you spend for bread? A loaf of whole wheat bread costs no more than does a loaf of white bread but it gives so much more in food values. The average diet is very apt to be low or even quite deficient in certain of the essential minerals and vita mins, and it is in these factors that whole wheat is superior to white flour. White flour has no vitamin A or B and almost no vitamin G. Whole wheat flour has very little vitamin A but is quite rich in vitamin B and has a generous amount of vitamin G. Whole wheat flour has almost three times the amount of calcium and phos. phorus that white flour has and it has almost five times the amount of iron. Calcium and phosporus are necessary for building bones and teeth, and iron is necessary for proper development of blood. These things make the food so much more valuable that they should be considered When buying bread for your family. The graph Which is given shows a comparison of the food value of 1 cup of white flour as compared with one cup ow whole wheat flour. THE DRAG ON OUR ENTHUSIASM FOR ENGLAND Calhoun Times. We despise Hitler and all his works. There is a deep and abiding hope that England will whip him to a fraz zle. However, the pendulum has never swung and eighth of an inch in favor of sending our boys again to fight a foreign war. We are getting ready for it as we did 20 odd years ago. Rotten as was that calamity, this will be far worse. Under the circum stances sympathy is unavoidable. To send our soldiers to die again in foreign shambles will be the crime of the ages. We are showering floods of eulo gies upon Winston Churchill. He is being hard. We wish him well. Short of blood at least. It is imposs ible to forget Churchill’s past rec ord towards America. After beating us out of many millions, his opinion of us after the World War was to rotten that it smelled to heaven.

On Public Squa re NEWBERRY, S. C. ness none of these isms would today be swooping the Continent of Europe and breaking down parliamentary government.” 3. “The stake of the United States in the European scene was incompar ably small.” 4. “It is not open to the cool by stander to set himself up as an im partial judge of events which never would have occured had he out stretched a helping hand in time.” The above is sufficient to give you the animus of Winston Churchill now at the head of the English forces, and one of the leaders in the World War. Mark you, we got absolutely nothing out of that war but a debt of billions of dollars besides the many millions filched from us by England which still remains unpaid. Nobody is more anxious to see England win than we are, but short of shedding blood and bankrupting our country. Of course this is a waste of ink, where the American boys are already being marshaled to fight an other foreign war. There is old Hit ler, afraid to cross a litle channel 22 miles wide in order to fight England, and yet this country is in terror over Hitler crossing a three thousand' mile ocean to eat us up for breakfast.

Smith, told a joint meeting of the bouse ways and means and senate finance committees Wednesday that South Carolina’s def icit at the end of the current fiscal year would be $2,809,832.93 on the basis of new estimates. The deficit for the fiscal year wMdh ends June 30 had been previously placed at $3,600,000. Smith said a recapitulation of ex penditures and revenue increases in dicated 1 that the state would end the year $690,168 better off than had been anticipated. Chairman Walter C. Query of the state tax commission, told the joint committee Tuesday that due to bus iness increases and higher income in the state, a revenue increase for this fiscal year of $1,205,000 could be ex- peetedi. Smith’s estimate showed that the general fund deficit would increase by $177,634 for the fiscal year, making a total deficit in the fund of $1,983,- 039, of wMch $1,805,405 was carried over from the last fiscal year. The school fund showed' a deficit of $526,793 and the deficiency appro priation for the current year was estimated at $300,000. Committee Named. A committe of three senators and three representatives was named to consider the question of supplemental appropriations. Members of the com mittee were Senators George Warren, Hampton; J. D. Parler, Dorchester, and C. P. Means, Charleston; and Re presentatives F. M. Roddey of Fair- field, M. H. Minims, Edgefield and W. G. Grant, Chester. At the opening of the joint hear ing Senator Marvin E. Abrams of Newberry suggested that a “half-mil lion dollars can be saved” if a com mittee were appointed to confer with department heads on appropriations which they asked for the next fiscal year. Senator Abrams said he was con fident that many of the departmental heads would agree to a smaller ap- budget commission. He said the com mittee could confer with heads of institutions and departments and “find out where cuts can be made without impairing the efficiency of the institutions or departments.” A committee of six. three senators and three representatives, was ap pointed. its membership included Senators Abrams, J. M. Thomas, A1 lendale, and Edgar A. Brown, and Representatives Bruce Littiejohn, Isaac D. Peek, Charleston, and J Kess Derrick, Newberry. The joint committee on finance will resume its public hearings today at 10 o’clock. Chairman Jefferies said it might be necessary next week to begin holding sessions of the com mittee on Monday nights and on Fri days in order to expedite its work. ~J4ere’i what customers te Our Invisible TTalf-Soling has no **repaired look**— n*. ridge or visible seam. - Your comfortable shoes restored •• new appear* ance at popular prices.
