Soldiers Remembered At O’Neal St. Church A large crowd attended the first anniversary of the dedication of the “Service, National and Christian” flags which was held Sunday morn ing at O’Neal Street Methodist church, in honor of members Who are in various branches of the armed forces. Thirteen new stars were added to the Service flag for men who have recently entered the service, making a total of 70 members from this church, including one gold star in honor of Fletcher Harrs, who was killed at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. As the names of the men on the honor roll were called the families were asked to stand, and to remain standing for a moment of silent pray er following the roll call. Several men of the Army and Navy were present, including Law rence Connelly, Frank Jones and Eugene Cook, members of the church who recently entered the service. Rev. N. K. Polk, pastor, chose for his subject, “What Do Ye More Than Others,” which was an inspiration to those present. Miss Mary Layton, organist, as sisted by the choir rendered special music for the occason. Mrs. Roy Creekmore, assisted by Mrs. Hattie Harris and Mrs. Oscar Bouknight were in charge of the ar rangements of the three beautiful baskets of flowers, which added much to this lovely service. THE MEMORY OF MAN If some great power should black out The memory of man, So that the past would be forgot As soon as it began, The past, locked in oblivion’s chest, In vain nonentity, would rest. And all the future would, at last, Sleep with the unremembcred past. The spirit would impov’rished be If we, at eventide, Could not recall some sweet refrain, When its last note had died— We love, in mem’ry to recall Our mothers’ songs that used to fall, In sweetness', on our infant ears, Back in those happy bygone years. Remembrance is the light that shines Along the way ahead, Reflecting from the golden past The luster of the dead, Thus widening the pi-esent’s scope, And giving bo the future hope For greater greatness, that shall last From hist’ry’s and tradition’s past. There is a question that’s as old As are the lives of men— Tis, “If a mtan die”—and he must— Yet, “shall he live again?” Men, since the dawn of time, have sought For comfort in the hour that wrought Out their transition from this life Into the one where there’s no strife. From nature’s wild, unlettered man Down in his lonely cave. And from the wise philosopher There at the open grave; And from the voice of Eastertide, Thru its sweet echoes, far and wide, There comes sweet memory’s refrain, “Tho men must die, they’ll live again. Departed statesmen, that are gone, Still shine like stars of gold, And will, in memory, live on Till time, itself, grows old. Baptized in mem’ry’s long-dried tears They’ve mellowed with the ripening years, And have with brighter lustre shone Since they were called to God’s unknown. The gioat Creator creates all, But nothing He destroys— The past He brings back to the small And great, with all its joys. Thru memory, again to live, And teach them lessons, to the last, From out the dead, yet living past. Without man’s memory, his hope Would have no precedent. And toward the future’s goal he’d grope, Beset with discontent, To be assailed with doubts and fears That will the greater grow with years, Unless he finds, and holds it fast, A guiding hand from out the past. In memory, there is no hope, It toward the future lifts Its miscroscopic telescope, And peering through tht rifts Of vague imagination, tries To see what in the future lies— But we to memory must turn. And at her feet, there sit and learn. —Horace C. Carlisle Foreigners Hold Soft Government Positions (Hon Dan R. McGhee In The House of Representation) Every day as you read your news paper there is called to the attention of the public by some reporter the name of persons of foreign birth who are occupying positions of great pow er in our different wAr set-ups. Only a few days ago we note that one Dr. Julius Hirsch is one of the chief con sultants'o fthe Office of Price Ad ministration. We find that Solomon Siegfried Hirsch is. principal consul tant for the Bureau of Economic Warfare—he entered this country some 4 years ago We find that one Louis Joseph Emile Rosenstock-Frank who arrived in this country in 1941, is employed as an economist, with the Board of Economic Warfare. We find that Karl Ladhmann, who entered this country 6 years ago, is now as- sistnt solicitor of the Department of the Interior. A few weeks ago we read in the daily press of the Utopia program from the cradle to the grave, which was submitted to the Congress by the National Resources Planning Board. An employee of that Board, Dr. Eve line M. Bums, so I am informed, wrote this monstrosity. She is em ployed as director of research at a salary of $7,000. Her husband, Dr. Arthur R. Bums, is employed by the W.P.B. as chief labor adviser at a salary of $8,000; they are both of foreign birth and became citizens of our country in 1936 or 1937. Both are great students of H. Laski and we know his teachings. Another foreigner is Kenneth Gal braith, who is holding the position as Deputy O. P. A. Administrator in Oharge of Prices at a salary of $8,250 a year. He only became a natural ized citizen in 1935. It was Galbraith who said during congressional in quiries ihto draft deferments in the O. P. A. that the deferment of 0. P. A. youths was absolutely essential, because anyone who has not beep trained in modern economics within the last 10 years would be incapable of understanding how the country Should be run. The morning papers reveal that he is resigning. We also have on the Federal pay roll one Israel Moses Sieff, a British er of radical leanings. Sir Hubert Wilkins, an Australian. It was he who suggested that our country give Alaska to Japan as a means of main taining peace in the Pacific. Alsu, there is one, Alexis Leger, a French man, employed at the Library of Con gress. It would take too much of the time of this Congress for me to even enumerate the names that I have in my files, yet I am sure there are literally hundreds of others. Is it that we are going to turn our Gov ernment and its administration, es pecially in our war efforts, over to the foreign-born and those with for eign ideas, which are so contrary to American ideals? In the common course of events in governmental em ployment, there may be a radical or two who would secure employment, but certainly our war activities would not be infested with so many unless there were unseen hands behind the throne. I think the Congress Should take some action, yet, would it avail anyhhng? We in the House only a few days ago voted that no moneys in that hill that was heng considered could be used to pay the salaries of three employees Whom a governmen tal agency and an investigating com mittee of the Congress had said were un-American. But uniformly, when this has betn done in the past 2 years their names are reinstated in the Senate, and the House so far has gone serenely along and accepted It. May I 'Ask of the membership how long, oh, how long, are you going to continue this docile attitude? It may be too late some day. You will look hack in bewildetment and say. Why did I not act to save my country long ago? The people of this country ar e uniformly aware of this situation, and they are fearful of what the fu ture may bring forth to them by this inactivity of their Representatives.

Chandler who began work in a mill at Pelzer at the turn of the century and has since worked in a score of textile plants, recalled the ups and downs of his career as this city opened a “textiles-go do-war” celebration, and remarked. “Today, I made around five times as much as I did in the good old days. Back there loom fixers made from 90c to $1.25 for 10 and 11 hours work a day. Now I make $5.60 for only 8 hours work.” Chandler was born May 29, 1891 at Princeton in Laurens county and took his first job at the age of 13. “I worked from 60 to 70 hours each week and 1 made 20c a day,” he recalled. “Promoted later to a drawing job, I received 40c a day.” ‘The Lord has really poured many blessings out on the textile people,” Chandler mused as he discussed some of the changes in mill machin ery and in mill construction. “I recall in the early days when a weaver had to put shuttles up to his mouth and such thread through the shuttle eye. Eight to ten looms kept a weaver busy.” CANNING DEMONSTRATION The public is invited to a cannnig demonstration to be held at the Court House on Friday morning, June 11th at 10 o’clock. The meeting will be in charge of Miss Ethel Counts, Home Demonstration agent. At the conclu sion of the meeting canning bulletins will be given those present- John L. Lewis Opens His Big Mouth! Does John L. Lewis know that the United States of America is fighting for its life? Is he aware of the fact that Amer ican blood has been spilled on many ba.tlefields, and that much /more is certain to be spilled before the con flict ends? Does he realize that those young men who have given their lives for their country have done so to protect the privileges of free Americans, one of which is the right to oin labor unions and to bargain collectively to improve their working conditions? Has he considered the effect of th e coal ..'.ining crisis on the morale of Americans, particularly the members of th e armed forces who know that their chances of survival are lessened every time he opens his big mouth? Does he realize the truce be signed with th United States government was an admission that he bad started a war against the United States? Is he conscious of the fact that his actions affected adversely every working man and woman in the coun try ? Is he aware that if the miners are given the $2-a-day wage increase which he seeks for them that they and all other working persons will lose much more than $2 a day through inflation that would be an inevitable result of the giving of such a wage increase? Does he realize that he is organ ized labor’s greatest enemy? Is he aware that Hitler, Hirohito and Mussolini must regard him as one of their closest friends? We believe that the answer to all of these questions is a loud “Yes.”— The Indiana Teamster. PATIENTS AT THE COUNTY HOSPITAL Bom to Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Crips of Whitmire, a daughter, Friday, June 4.
