YOU’LL FEEL IT
With the beginning of this week,
you’ll feel your wallet growing flat
ter inasmuch as the new tax bill
has gone into effect, and this latest
act will dip deeply into your pocket-
book.
First is the increase in certain
postal rates which will net Uncle
Sam almost one hundred million dol
lars. Additional taxes have been
added to movie tickets, telephone
bills, furs, cosmetics, jewelry, lug
gage, electric light bulbs, whiskey
and a number of other.items. All in
all, Uncle Sam will squeeze $1,051,-
000,000,000 more out of your pock
ets in the way mentioned above. An
other billion and a quarter dollars
will come from higher income taxes
on individual and corporation pro
fits.
And this is only a “drop in the
bucket” as compared with what
Roosevelt asked of Congress and
didn’t get!—^Exchange.
GOVERNMENT BY EXECUTIVE
ORDER
It is revealing, to say the least,
to hear from Minnesota’s U. S. Sen
ator Shipstead that, while Congress
has enacted 4,553 laws in the last
ten years, the President has issued
3,703 Executive Orders.
Sponsoring a senate resolution
which would authorize a Congres
sional review of Executive Orders,
the Minnesotan believes it is the
duty of the lawmakers elected by
the people to “find out about the
source of authority and see if we
want this situation continued.”
Senator Shipstead describes the
situation as “bad and dangerous,”
and holds that it “could 1 go on un
til we had nothing left but Execu
tive Orders.”
A people who have seen their
country grow great and powerful in
a system of liberty and self-govern
ment—a government of laws, not of
men—will weigh the Minnesota Sen
ator’s warning when he says:
“If you can pass a law by Ex
ecutive Order, Congress might as
well go home.”—G-eenville Observ
er.
1,000 PLANES ON RAIDS IN
PACIFIC
Hutchinson, Kas., Apr. 27—Arte-
mus L. Gates, assistant secretary of
the Navy for air, disclosed today
that American air forces have ex
panded in the Pacific to the point
“we have been conducting 1,000-
plane raids there.”
Here for the graduation of tbe
first crew from the Navy’s big new
operational base, Gates told a press
conference:
“I don’t think the public realizes
that w-e’ve been having 1,000-plahe
raids in the Pacific. The new co
ordinated training here is part of
the Navy’s expanding offensive.
Gates said “we have been build
ing up all the time, until now raids
in which 1,000 planes are used are
not uncommon.’’
He would not elaborate on that
point.
He emphasized, however, that
“the Navy has become a flying
Navy” with its planes coordinating
closely with the surface fleet and
the Army, and described the air
plane as the Navy’s “most impor
tant weapon.”

By Ethel L. Counts
May the first is Child Health Day
and during the month of May we
usually think of the health of the
youth. We know that it is necessary
for us to stop and think when we
realize what war is doing to children.
Pictures from war zones of half
starred children make us sick at
heart an dyet on our streets every
day we meet children suffering from
incipient malnutrition. Public health
officials now face the fact that mal
nutrition is a major public health
problems which is wide spread and
serious. The great trouble with mal
nutrition according to Thomas Par-
ren, Surgeon General, S. S. Public
Health Service, is the fact that like
an iceberg, the most dangerous part
is hidden. Good nutrition is based
upon good food habits. The forces
mobilized to take the offensive are
agriculture, education, public health,
and the family physician all of which
must fight side by side on a com
mon front.
In living up to the club msignia,
whose four H’s stand for “head,
heart, hand, and health” 4-H club
boys and girls work to improve
food and health habits by checking
them periodically against a 4-H food
and health habit guide. They also
work for good posture. Better nu
trition of the entire population will
lead us for along the road to better
health, no one doubts that improve
ment of the health of the nation will
pay dividends in actual dollars and
cents. It will also pay dividends in
increased well-being and happiness.
SALVAGE STORM DAMAGE
TIMBER
Farmers and landowners who have
forest land that was damaged by the
storm are urged to make every ef
fort to salvage as much as possible,
Mr. P. B. Ezell said here today.
The farm needs should first be
considered. Lumber for repairs and
construction of new buildings should
have first priority. In some instance
where small trees were blown down
maybe firewood is all that can be ob
tained.
Where there is an acreage or
amount damaged that in in excess of
fatjpi needs every effort should be
made to get this material in lumber
and pulpwood channels.
As the warm weather approaches
beetles and insects will get to work
fast and if uncut will become a total >
loss in a short time, and possibly |
damage standing timber.
The wind damaged forest products
can easily be placed on the market
through local pulpwood and lumber
dealers, Mr. Ezell concludes.
Returning from his day’s toil to
his happy little home, father greet
ed his family.
“What have you all been doing
today?” he asked.
“I washed the diner things,” said
Ann proudly.
“And I wiped them!*’ exclaimed
Sheila, just as proudly.
Father turned to his only son.
“And you, John?”
“I picked up the pieces,” was the
brief reply.—Ex.

FISHES
From time immemorial fishes have
furnished much of mankind’s food;
thousands of sportsmen spend hun
dreds of thousands of dollars yearly
in recreational fishing; thousands of
tons of fish are used each year in
manufacture of fertilizers; and mil
lions of wigglers which would be
come mosquitoes, midges, gnats, etc.,
are devoured by fishes; commercial
fisheries support thousands of fami
lies. The importance of fishes to
mankind is very great indeed.
Our vertebrated (I. E. backboned)
animals, fall chiefly into five great
groups or classes: fishes, amphibians,
reptiles, birds, and mammals. Of
these the birds and fishes each have
far more species than the other three
combined. Knowing that water cov
ers far more than half of the sur
face of our earth, may prepare you
to understand that there are more
species of fishes than there are of
birds. If we say that in South Caro
lina and adjacent ocean we have
about 350 species of birds (a fairly
close approximation), then we prob
ably have in fresh, brackish, and salt
waters of the state about 400 to 450
species of fishes, fishes, however,
have not yet been so thoroughly and
exhaustively colected and studied as
have birds.
For convenience, we might consider
our fishes as falling into 3 groups:
fishes which live (1) exclusively in
salt water, (2) exclusively in fresh
water, a nd (3) in brackish water or
which may at times pass freely from
salt to fresh waters.
Fishes disreay great differences
with regard to shape of body, the
number, shape and placing of the
fins, shape of tail, nature of mouth,
teeth, etc., and all these differences
are used by the student in distin
guishing the groups and species.
While most fishes lay eggs from
which the young are hatched, a few
hatch the eggs in body of the mother
and the young are then born alive.
Because of erosion of our soils,
saw-mills along small forest streams,
because of sewage and other pollu
tion, many of our streams have few
er fish and less desirable food-fish
than they had in former years. Per
haps some day we shall come to ap
preciate fishes and other water-life,
and find means to protect our water
sheds and prevent pollution of our
streams. Perhaps in these ways we
will someday restore some of our
natural resources which are now di
minishing.
WE ARE PROUD
of the accomplishments of the textile workers
of South Carolina during this war emergency;
and of the splendid increased production in war
goods which faithfulness and patriotic spirit
has made possible.
NEVER BEFORE
in the history of our industry has there been
such a spectacular increase in cotton goods;
such a transfer from non-essential to essential
products and such a spirit of cooperation be
tween employer and employee in throwing all
of America’s textile resources into the winning
of a war. It is a record to which we may all
look back through the years to come with great
pride and satisfaction.
ESSENTIAL TEXTILES
This record has been made possible by our com
bined realization that cotton, next to steel is the
war’s most essential product and that all textiles
have been vital to our cause in supplying our
armed forces, our allies, the countries which
we have liberated, and essential civilian neces-
. sities. From the demands made upon our in
dustry by the Quartermaster Corps and by the
War Production Board it is clearly apparent
that our responsibilities in the war are tremen
dous. Furthermore, we are just getting started.
We have a long distance yet to go.
IN MEETING THIS EMERGENCY
the industry needs the continued cooperation
of all the people, the workers, management,
the farmers, the merchants, the industry all
around us, the ministers, the educators, pu'blic
officials, in fact every man, woman and child,
ESPECIALLY YOU.

WHAT
is the
Democratic Party?
IS IT A BODY OF MEN
(who come and go)
Is it a body of living principles which stand against time
and the whims, ambitions and follies of the moment?
Do Mr. Roosevelt’s tie-ups with Negroes, selfish groups
and alien elements become Democratic Principles?
(Was the high-handed seizure of a retail store
a symbol of Roosevelt dictatorship, or a New
Deal PRINCIPLE?
—or—
Is Democracy still the party of—
White Supremacy
Low Tariff
Economical Government *
States Rights
Individual Liberty?
Mr. Roosevelt barters White Supremacy for negro votes.
What say you to that?
Tlie New Deal is not Democracy; it is Mr. Roosevelt’s
dictatorship, founded on political pap, not on political
principles.
. Are You A Democrat?
Then stand for Democratic Principles!
