IS U.S. PREPARED? RECORDS
SHOW WE’RE ON THE WAY
A year ago America was unpre
pared.
Its weapons were obsolete, its mili
tary manpower at a very low point,
its citizenry blind by trusting too
much in isolationism which grew up
after the world war.
The Wall Street Journal recently is
sued a special edition to summarize
the accomplishments in the first year
of our defense effort. It is the first
thorough compilation of the record to
be made.
Some of the things on the accom
plished list:
An army of over 1,300,000 men has
been built on the foundation of last
year's regular army of 243,000 and
a national guard of 225,000.
Navy planes, all types as of May 1,
this year, number 3,476 as against
2,172 on July 1 of last year.
Construction of a two-ocean navy
is running ahead of schedule.
A year ago there were only 83 pri
vately owned- shipways in the country.
Today there are 254.
Before the summer is over, 800 in
dustries will be in quantity production
of the most modern and powerful ar
mored machines in the world.
Government arsenals and newly
built and equipped private plants are
turning out large and small cannon,
antiaircraft guns and rifles, machine
guns and ammunition in ever increas
ing quantities.
Airplane production has been jump
ed from 450 a month to over 1,500,
and is scheduled' to reach a monthly
total of 2,600 by October. That will be
equivalent to 31,200 annually.
In 1941, 115 merchant ships will
be delivered, as compared with last
year’s 53.
This showing has been possible
through one of the greatest convers
ions of industry to the purpose of war
in the history of the country.
HIS HEAD ON THE BLOCK
The Turk is a most obliging fellow.
At Hitler’s orders, he stepped right
up and laid his head on the nazi block
turkey fashion. At Hitler’s word the
axe will descend and that will be the
last of the old Turk.
And the Turk is a sly fellow. He’s
working both sides of the street. Hav.
ing squeezed all the gold and credits
and war materials he could get out of
Britain, he now deserts his ally,
crosses the street and begins opera
tions on the nazi side. The passing
of the centuries has not changed the
“unspeakable Turk.’’
CORRECTION
In the Notice of School Bus Let
ting, appearing on the back page of
last week’s Sun, was the following
sentence: No. 2—Utopia—Deadfall—
Silverstreet—45 pupils, 54 miles. This
should have been 45 pupils, 45 miles.
CONGRESSMEN ASK POSTPONE
MENT OF ANY PRICE-FIXING
Washington, June 30.—A cautious
prediction that rationing of consum
ers’ goods might be employed along
with “drastic” price control measures
to prevent inflation was made today
by Leon Henderson and Donald M.
Nelson as congressmen voiced new
opposition to price-fixing by executive
decree.
A score of senators and represen
tatives at a special meeting adopted
a resolution “that price-fixing should
be postponed until a definite policy
has been authorized by Congress, and
of and when price-fixing is authorized
it shall also apply to processing costs
and prices to the consumers.”
The meeting was called by Chair
man Smith (D., S. C.) of the Senate
agriculture committee. Smith and
other farm state senators have vigor
ously criticized recent actions by
Henderson as federal price admini
strator which they view as hampering
congressional efforts to insure great
er returns to farmers for their crops.

CAN’T WE FIND A WAY TO
ENDURING PEACE?
Take any period of the world’s re
corded history—it will show how little
men have done to promote and main
tain peace among nations. Choose
any four decades you will, they are
strewn with trickery, cunning, sly
maneuverings, perfidious treaties—
all finally bursting out in war and de
struction.
A glance at international relations
from 1870 to 1914 bears tragic testi
mony to the fact that organized gov
ernments made but one feeble move
during that time to advance the con
cert of nations—the second Hague
conference. Celled at the suggestion
of President Theodore Roosevelt in
June 1907, the conference, like the
first one in 1899, accomplished little
or nothing. Machinery for arbitra
tion was enlarged, certain rules of
war were made, and the rights and
obligations of neutrals were defined.
That is about the substance of its
gesture to international amity.
That 44 years, from 1870 to 1914,
is a succession of wars and rumors
of war, threats of war, insurrections,
and the creation of a vast jumble of
other inflammable material that was
finally ignited by the pistol shot at
Serajova and the Austrian declaration
of war on Serbia July 28, 1914.
Only one puny international move
to preserve peace in nearly half a
century! Isn’t it astounding when
we recall the millions of men, women
and children who perished in the sav
agery of the period, and the billions
of treasure that went up in smoke
and flame?
Isn’t the black record of these four
and a half decades, to say nothing of
their predecessors, sufficient to arouse
all peoples to a determination to seek
a way to make peace permanent ra
ther than a breathing spell between
battles? Surely the peoples who
have been so ingenious at perpetuat
ing war and destruction are also cap
able of devising a basis for peace
that will endure.
UNARMED BRITISH FARMER, 74,
TAKES NAZI PRISONER
Sherborne, Dorset, June 28.—The
capture of an armed German flier,
whose bombing plane had crashed and
burned' in a nearby field, was describ
ed today by James Cavill, seventy-
four-year-old British farmer, who
single-handed- and unarmed walked
up to the young German and took him
prisoner.
In his thatch-roofed cottage in the
sr. iling Dorset countryside, one of
England’s rich agricultural centers,
thp well-preserved British farmer told
his story. He said:
“I saw the plane fall quite near the
house and I went out to see if I could
help. When I first ran into my man,
I thought was our gardener in the
dark. But when I looked up and saw
‘Jerry’, a six foot youngster, of twen
ty-five, armed with a .25 caliber auto
matic, I said to myself, ‘well, Jim, this
is your end.’
“But though scared a bit, I really
was soon myself again and the air
man was trembling like a leaf. He
could understand English but could
not speak many words himself.
“The German asked me to take him
to a policeman. I said: ‘You have a
gun here. Are you going to shoot
me on the road?’ I was feeling a lit
tle worried. You see. I’m not so young
as I was, and I’ve a strained heart
and blood pressure.
“The German said, ‘nien, me no ourt
you my vriend,’ and he shook my
right hand nearly off. But I was pre
pared for any move, as I had drawn
my knife from my pocket ready for
his eyes if he made the least move
for his revolver.
“Then I took his revolver and we
started along the road. He said ‘you
son in army?’ I said, ‘No, I have five
grandsons in the army.’
“He stopped dead and looked me
over and said ‘you old man, eh?” I
told him I was seventy-four. He said
it seemed ‘seenty fear’ years since I
had met him and grasped my hand
which by now I had firmly on his re
volver. ‘Goot ole Englander,’ he said
to me, ‘goot louck.’
“As we walked along he kept say
ing, ‘mine poor vriend in fire,’ by which
he meant another member of the crew
who was trapped in the blazing bom
ber. So to quiet him until I might
meet someone I said, ‘let us, me and
you, come and try to get your vriend
out of the fire.
“Of course, it was much too late
to get his ‘vriend’ out of the fire
but it kept him quiet for a bit. Just
then we came upon half a dozen men
of the home guard, all with rifles.
Jerry fairly threw himself into the car
and muttered something I could not
understand.
JONES CLAIMS PRICE
FIXING IS “UNFAIR”
J. Roy Jones, commissioner of agri
culture, Monday declared the action
of the federal price controller, in Ax
ing the price of print cloths at 39
cents, thus singling out agriculture,
was “unfair and unwarranted.” He
expressed the hope the state’s repre
sentatives in Washington would op
pose this “unjust unfair and un-
American procedure.”
“Since the Roosevelt administration
came into power,” he said, “it has
been the aim. of both the president
and the agricultural leaders in the
senate to raise the price of farm
commodities to parity. At this session
of congress the loan on cotton was
fixed at 85 per cent parity, and the
market immediately rose, to equal 85
per cent, and even-beyond. However,
last week Price Controller Leon Hend
erson announced that cotton yams
would be fixed at a ceiling of 39 cents.
The market immediately broke ap
proximately $2 per bale, which cost
the farmers of South Carolina, alone,
approximately $2,000,000.
We all know that agriculture is
our basic and greatest industry, and
we also know that even today prices
for agricultural commodities are, in
many instances, below the cost of pro
duction, and every instance, have lag
ged far behind the increased cost
of manufactured products. We also
know that the initial cost of raw
material is very small compared with
finished products. Every man who
buys a shirt knows that the standard
price of $2.50 is paid for the shirt,
whether cotton is selling for 6 or 16
cents per pound which proves conclu-
telusivety, that raw products plays
very little in the cost of finished pro
ducts.”
As To Finished Products
Mr. Jones states “the most asinine
thing about the whole situation is
that Mr. Henderson has fixed the
price on the manufactured raw pro
ducts, but put no ceiling on finished
products. This means that large
manufacturing establishments now
know the top price that they will
have to pay for their products and
can then charge any price they want
to for the finished product, which
penalizes both the producer and ulti
mate consumer and benefits only the
middle man.
“If this un-American price fixing
on our basic commodities is going to
be put into effect, then all should be
fed out of the same spoon. Let Mr.
Henderson put a ceiling on what fin
ished products will be and thereby,
at least, protect the ultimate con
sumer.
Jacobs Statement
Mr. Jones called attention to a
statement made by W. P. Jacobs,
secretary, Cotton Manufacturers As
sociation of South Carolina, Clinton,
S. ., in which Mr. Jacobs said “if
this ceiling on manufactured products
was put into effect one-third of the
mills in South Carolina would be
forced to close their doors just as
soon as they finish their defense con
tracts, and with the increase in labor
costs, and the general increase in
maintainance, in all probability a
great many more would be effected
thereby.”
“While I have referred primarily
to cotton, the same situation exists as
to cotton seed oil, lard, soy beans,
peanuts and other basic commodities,”
Commissioner Jones continued.
“No one desires stabilization in
these critical times in which we are
living any more than I, but if we
are going to stabilize, let’i stabilize
all down the line and don’t make the
farmer the goat and the ultimate con
sumer the sucker.
“All of us know that the South
has not shared jn the general upward
trend of prosperity, as have the man
ufacturing centers of this country,
but singling out agriculture for this
punitive activity is one that is unfair
and unwarranted, and I am ever so
hopeful that our senators and con
gressmen will vigorously oppose this
unfair, unjust, and un-American pro
cedure.”
Worse and .More Frequent Wars Seen By
Educator If Women Dominate Governments
Marquette Educator Gives Answer
To the Question Auxiliary
Head Posed
Milwaukee, Wis., June 28.—The
world probably would be plunged more
deeply and more frequently into War
at the hands of governments dominat.
ed by women than under current rul-
ership by men, according to the Rev.
Francis Bautsch, head of Marquette
university’s biology department.
He was asked to appraise the re
cent proposal of Mrs. Betty Bassett,
national president of the United Span
ish War Veterans’ auxiliary, to estab
lish women at the head of govern
ments. In such a world, she predict
ed peace would prevail and poverty
would be banished along with the dis
turbing male element. Here to make
a speech, Mrs. Bassett visioned women
in power at the seats of government
by 1961.
Father Bautsch was doubtful that
the so-called weaker sex would per
force be the more peaceful sex.
Bridge Club Cited
“Just imagine the local bridge
club operating in a national or inter
national scope,” he suggested by way
of illustration. “There would be noth
ing but intrigue and war. War is a
human trait, and women are just as
susceptible as men.”
Far from discounting the influ
ence of women in government af
fairs, Father Bautsch emphasized
that they were at its roots and there
fore in a position to shape its very
foundations. He referred to the fam
ily as “really the basic unit of suc
cessful government.”
“All prospering civilizations have
been founded on healthy family con
ditions,” Father Bautsch pointed out.
“If women collectively forsook their
homes for professions, the healthy
family would disappear and with it
would go civilization.
“Of course, women can take an ac
tive part in government and indus
try in advisory capacities because
their judgment is superior in some
situations,” he conceded. “We have
some women who are both mothers
and leaders. But such examples are
unnatural and' insignificant when con
sidered from a broad viewpoint.”
Women’s Ability Conceded
Father Bautsch conceded, too, that
biologically women are equipped to
be just as good organizers, executives
and technicians as men. In support
he cited historical proof in the ac
complishments of Queen ' Victoria,
Catherine the Great, Maria Theresa,
Joan of Arc and Madame Curie.
“The only real biological differ
ence is sex,” he said. “But that
aione is enough to perpetuate the
existing relationship between man
and woman.
1 “Conforming with the proved pat
tern, men and women who marry and
have children must bear their respon
sibilities through mutual assistance.
To obtain the best results, man takes
the role of provider and w'oman be
comes the custodian of the home and
eafc-s for the children. Her activity
precludes the possibility of making
a career of science or politics.
“Suppose women were at the head
of the government and men were re
legated to subservience. It wouldn’t
last because men soon lose respect
for women who become masculine
in their traits. Without cooperation
from their subjects, the women's em
pire would crumble.”
HOME BUILDERS COME UNDER
PRIORTIES SET FOR DEFENSE
Atlanta, June 29.—The little man,
who plans to build his own home,
shortly may come into direct contact
with defense priorties, Charles F
Palmer, co-ordinator of defense
housing, said today.
Disclosing plans for restrictions,
similar but more liberal than those
imposed during the World war,
Palmer said anticipated acute short
age of building materials in defense
areas would require contractors to
obtain permits from the housing co.
odinator or his field agents.
Listed among defense items like
ly to be rationed to builders were
aluminum, bronze, copper, nickel, zink
and certain types of lumber. Palmer
said contractors alread/ found) it
difficult to obtain metal gutters and
were using wood or other substitutes.
In most cases, the housing co-ordi
nator indicated, priorities would be
denied on any homes costing more
than $6,000, or rental units exceed
ing $50 per month except when they
“meet defense needs”. In the World
war, he said, construction was limit
ed to home costing $2,500 or less.
Palmer said a list of all publicly-
financed defense housing projects
was being prepared by his office,
along with a survey of areas report-
eding shortages of materials needed
for construction.
“Contractors who have sufficient
building materials on hand can go
ahead and build anything they like,”
Palmer explained. However, he add
ed, where such materials must be
bought, priorities would be necessary
from the co-ordinator.
He said construction contemplated
for yet-unannounced defense areas
would be given preference, as well as
construction contemplated for areas
now feeling a housing shortage.

PROMINENT CITIZEN OF
COUNTY DIES
Hayne Folk died Saturday at his
home near Pomaria at the age of 80.
He had been active about his farm un
til about a week ago when he was con.
fined to bed.
Mr. Folk was one of the most sub
stantial citizens of the county in that,
beginning in early life on a poor
farm he not only made a good living
but sent eight children through col
lege. He always practiced the latest
methods of farming as gained from
the experiments of Clemson college
and other sources.
Most of Mr. Folks Children went
out from the old home into other
states where they have made good to
a considerable degree which was a
source of gratification to Mr. Folk in
his last years. He enjoyed visits to
his name-sake son in Louisiana, and
visits among his other children.
Mr. Folk’s faithful and helpful mate
died about 1937. She was Carrie
Setzler, of a prominent Pomaria fam
ily, before marriage.
The children of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Folk who survive are as follows:
John Thomas Folk and M. Hayne
Folk, Jr., of Ruston, La., Ben Perry
Folk of Tallulah, La., Chris E. Folk
of Charlotte, N. C„ J. Henry Folk
of Columbia and Pomaria, Mrs.
Marion C. Rivers of Raleigh, N. C.,
and Mrs. Hubert Haas of Blythe-
wood. One son, G. Hamilton Folk,
died in 1921.
Also surviving are four brothers:
Lillian H. Folk of Pomaria, Thos. W.
Folk, Chris M. Folk and Eugene C.
Folk of Newberry, and one sister,
Mrs. Julia Crapps of Columbia. Twen
ty-one grandchildren also survive.
Funeral services for Mr. Folk were
held at 10:30 Monday morning from
Bethlehem church of which he was
long a faithful member. He was
buried in the church cemetery.
J. A. Bundrick, J. E. Bundrick, G.
H. Richardson, J. B. Kinard, A. L.
Long, and C. B. Suber were Mr.
Folk’s pallbearers
CAFE MANAGEMENT EJECTS
BARRYMORE
Hollywood, June 30.—The Eaj-1 Car-
roll cafe management said Actor
John Barrymore was ejected early tot
dhy after a patron swung at him.
The patron, who said he was Clar
ence Reed of Bakersfield, Salif., ob
jected to remarks the actor made.
Accounts of the incident varied.
Some said Reed landed one on John's
chin whiskers and that he went down
in a heap. Others said Reed swung,
missed Barrymore's chin, but that
John, in dodging, lost his footing and
fell.
Everybody agreed that Barrymore
was hustled to the sidewalk by five
table captains.

RURAL NEWBERRY
As Described by Ted W. Bremer in
Dixie Business
The beauty and pleasures of life in
Newberry are not restricted to its city
limits. Spots of unusual interest and
importance lie on the outskirts and a
short distance away in the rural sec
tions of the county. Come with us for
a little tour over the country side and
let’s see what we can see.
First, let’s visit Newberry County’s
Natural Park. Here we find a 285 acre
park located in old Lynch Woods, one-
half mile from Newberry. A lovely
woodland paradise, recently improved
by man in a manner preserving its
natural rustic beauties, and making
them accessible and convenient to
public use and pleasure. An extra
vaganza of dpgwood and wild flow
ers in the Spring, evergreens and ver-
ddre in Fall and Winter.
While we are in the mood for wood
land beauty, let’s also take a pano
ramic view of parts of the great Sum
ter National Forest. This is a 2 1-2
million acre government preserve of
national forest lands, having its Eno-
ree Division (400,000 acres) head
quarters at Newberry. Forest tenant
rehabilitation projects and pine plan
tations. Inspiring drives through the
forest primeval, reflecting the unlim
ited reserve resources in America.
The entrance is found one mile from
Newberry.
Our next stop is a spot combining
beauty and importance in a most un
usual way. This is the Four-County
Fish Hatchery, consisting of 6 minia
ture lakes formed from 26 natural
springs, breeding millions of fish the
year ’round for stocking Lake Mur
ray. A rare and interesting spot for
those who like the unusual, the beauty
of these lakes is of most extaordinary
type. We are now just two miles
from Newberry. Not so very far away
we will stop by for a moment at the
Huffman Turkey Farm. This is also a
rare treat. Thousands of turkeys- of
all sizes and ages are raised here
with modern scientific methods. The
farm is owned by W. C. Huffman who
takes pride in the fact that he has dif
ferent breed * 1 of turkeys with proper
characteristics to satisfy any type of
trade, for home consumption or the
commercial market.
Circling a few miles to the east, we
stop for a moment to look on a few of
Newberry’s Granite Quarries. The
county has recently been found to
have several strata of granite, al
most unlimited in extent, end of a
quality comparing favorably with the
finest in the nation. The Holm Quar
ries are on the Blairs road ind the
Strother road; Nichols Quarries are
near the Mt. Bethel-Garmany section;
the Dahlgren Quarries are on U. S.
Highway No. 76. An extremely high
quality of granite, suitable. p c both
heavy building and 1 fancy mi/iiumen-
tal work is furnished through these
organizations in the quantity required.
Before returning to Newberry, let’s
stop and cool off at the beautiful
County Club of Newberry. Though
small, this is one of the South’s most
modern and complete clubs. Located
on a hill overlooking a great natural
swimming pool fed by numerous
springs, the club offers its members
golf, tennis, comforts for a quiet af
ternoon, and excellent party facilities
for the evening. After resting for a
moment on the spacious veranda over
looking the tall pines and waters of
of the lake, we enjoy a swim In the
cool waters of the club pool and are
ready for a short drive back to the
City of Friendly Folk.
JOLLY STREET
Friends of Clyde Werts will be sor
ry to learn that he is a patient at the
Newberry county hospital, having un
dergone and operation for appendi
citis last Friday. We all wish for him
a very soon recovery. |
Mr. and Mrs. Otis Kinard an
nounce the birth of a son Tuesday,
June 23rd. Mrs. Kinard was the for
mer Miss Faye Shealy of Little
Mountain. Both mother and baby are
doing fine.
The Daily Vacation Bible School
for Bachman Chapel and St. Pauls’
congregations will be held in he Jol
ly Street School building beginning
Monday morning, July 7 at 8:00 a.
m. Classes have been arraned for all
ages so let’s have a good attendance.
DRIVERS ADVISED ON HOW TO
EVADE ACCIDENTS ON FOURTH
Columbia, July 1.—With good
weather prevailing, traffic on South
Carolina highways during the Fourth
of July period 1 is certain to be the
heaviest in history.
Ordinarily this would mean that
we would have more motor vehicle
accidents and consequently more
deaths and injuries. But we are ap
pealing to the public to make this
an extraordinary time for care and
common sense. Only in that way can
we expect to avoid accidents with
their distressing cost in life, limb,
and property.
No Fatalities Last Year
Last year South Carolina motorists
established a remarkable record by
driving through July 3, 4 and 5 with
out a single fatality on the highways.
The month as a whole, was a red let
ter one, with a total of only 30 high
way deaths, or 25 percent less than
the 40 suffered in July, 1939.
As the Fourth approaches this
year there are more vehicles and more
people taking part in more activities
in South Carolina than we have ever
known before. Besides civilian traf
fic we are faced with a large move
ment of troopt through the state on
July 2, 3, and 4 with the 20,000 sol
diers of the 30th division returning to
Fort Jackson from maneuvers in
Tennessee.
These troops wero moved out a
month ago without an accident of
any consequence and we are hoping
for the same success on their return
but we must bave Ahe public’s coop
eration.
B. CORNELL BEDENBAUGH WILL
SERVE AS COUNTY TREASUER
B. Cornell Bedenbaugh, assistant
postmaster at prosperity, was ap
pointed Saturday, June 28, by Gover
nor Burnette Maybank, as treasurer
pro tern for Newberry County. The
present treasurer, Ralph B. Black
has been called to report July 7th at
Atlanta, Ga., for a period of service
in the United States army. Mr.
Black is a graduate of The Citadel,
and will enter the service as a 1st
lieutenant. He has been given a spe
cial leave of absence from his office
for this period of service.
CONSTRUCTION STARTED ON
ADAMS STATION
As mentioned here previously the
service station of Ellisor Adams is
now under construction, being built
by E. H. Livingston* A new and mod
ern building will replace that which
has housed the concern for the past
several years. It will be of stucco ex
terior and will embrace many of the

ST. PHILIPS
There will be preaching Sunday
night at eight o'clock by our pastor,
the Rev. Emmett Roof.
Looks like this will be a year like
1886 was, but I hope it won’t. In that
year the people had to hoe their cot
ton in the mud.
It is going to require some sun
shine to kill all of the grass.
The roads from St. Philips to Pros
perity were washed 1 by the rain, and
are in bad condition.
