not enjoy living? We
VV do!”
Backed by over 400 years of his
tory, tradition and romance, soft-
spoken South Carolina is still glam
orous and appealing. Consider for a
moment that 90 per cent of the
South Carolinians in the armed
forces, when polled, indicated their
intention of returning to their na
tive state when they got out of uni
form! Though they had seen the
world, they found nothing to lure
them away from the Low country,,
the Up country, and the Piedmont
in between.
South Carolina has had a glori
ous past. But also it has a future!
It endured terrible years of Recon
struction following the War Between
the States, and it was not until the
turn of the century that order came
out of chaos. Then South Carolina
was aware of itself again, ready to
cope with its problems in the light
of progress.
Each decade has seen improve
ment, and a further step toward the
fulfillment of its destiny. South Caro
lina is vibrant with new life, new
energies, and a will to progress.
Wealth has been introduced by tex
tile and other industries, including
Old grist mill, Anderson county
plastics and chemicals. Soil rec
lamation, reforestation, flood con
trol, hydro-electric development —
those are the projects of today.
Agriculture has been spurred to new
heights by scientific aids. Fields of
cotton, corn, tobacco and peanuts
still remain; but new crops have
been added and more will come.
And new industries too, for South
Carolina is rich in natural re
sources, many of them as yet un
developed.
“Open for business,” South Caro
lina advertises, and points to ex
cellent highways, rail and water
transportation, and main routes of
airplane travel. Favored by a mild
all-year climate, it beckons to those
who want a home, pleasure, jobs,
business, manufacturing, farming
and a good life.
More than 80 years before Vir
ginia was founded and over 90 years
before the Puritans reached Massa
chusetts, a white settlement was
founded on what is now Winyah bay
RANSOME J. WILLIAMS
Governor of South Carolina
in the Low country. It was the ill-
fated Spanish settlement of San
^Miguel de Gualdape.
Other Spaniards came, De Soto
and Juan Pardo, to explore the inte
rior about the Savannah river. Com
peting with the Spaniards were the
French, who in 1562 briefly settled
a body of Huguenots at Port Royal.
None of these ventures endured,
however, and it was left to the
English to establish permanent set
tlements.
Charles I in 1629 granted to Sir
Robert Heath “all America from
sea to sea between the 36th and 31st
parallels of latitude under the name
of Carolina.” Even then the coun
try remained unexplored until 1663
when Charles II chartered the
same territory to eight of his loyal
friends. They became lord propri
etors of the province of Carolina.
In March, 1670, the first settlement,
consisting of 148 persons, was made
at Albemarle Point and named
Charles Town, the Charleston of to
day.
Cavaliers and Puritans came
from England to swell the popula
tion. The fame of Carolina sunshine
spread, and the story of its fertile
soil was repeated in many lands.
From across the sea and from other
American colonies they came, until
there were Cavaliers, Puritans,
French Huguenots, Irish, Dutch and
Germans. Many Quakers arrived
early, and one of them, John Arch-
lade, served as governor of the
province. Later more than a thou
sand suffering Acadians found a ref
uge and a home. Added to all these
were the Negroes, bringing an un
suspected gift of rhythm, and fur
nishing the sinews for the struggle
to build a new land.
Like all colonists they brought
with them old hatreds and differ
ences of class and creed. Some
came for riches, some for adven
ture, others sought relief from re
ligious persecution. They quarreled
often among themselves, but stood
together against any common
enemy. They repulsed the attacking
Indians and they fought off pirates
from the coast. In 1718 at
Charleston, 49 pirates swung from
the gallows in one month, with 22
of them dangling there one day.
They fought for the right of local
self-government. They overthrew
the proprietary government and be
came a royal province under the
king’s charter. They finally revolted
against the king himself, and be
came one of the 13 original Ameri
can colonies. They reasserted them
selves again in 1860, and there fol
lowed the Civil war.
Through all the years, in massa
cre and war, through storm and
fire, despite earthquake and pesti
lence, the people cl South Carolina
struggled on. They explored the wil
derness and located new towns and
more plantations. They built roads
through forests and swamps, and
threw bridges across rivers and
streams. They built houses of “tab
by”—a composition of crushed oys
ter shell—and of thick hardwood
logs. They spread out from the Low
country to the Up country. They built
for beauty and utility and discov
ered the dignity of life.
“Charleston is the place where
the Ashley and Cooper rivers meet
to form the Atlantic ocean,” is the
traditional geography lesson of a
Charleston child — a lesson as sig
nificant as it is descriptive. Men
and women of South Carolina be
lieve in themselves, in their state,
and in their destiny. They have pro
duced leisure, culture and a high
responsibility of citizenship. They
have drawn character from the
land itself, and courage and integ
rity from their labors. More than 250
years of war-tom history have
molded and tempered and stfength-
ened a people until they know their
metal.
Gloriously patriotic in World Wars
I and II, South Carolina has fur
nished, fed and trained men for ev
ery battlefield in the world. Her
heroes have followed Old Glory to
the farthest ends of the earth, gath
ering Purple Hearts and battle
stars—and filling lonely graves.
South Carolina’s motto is Diim
Spiro, Spero (While I Breathe I
Hope); also, Animus Opibusque
Parati (Prepared in Spirit and
Wealth, or Ready with Minds and
Resources), and at no time in her
history have these phrases been
more fitting than they are now.
From the mountains to the sea,
South Carolina has 31,055 square
miles of inviting land!

Lemon Chiffon Sponge Cake—Fairy-Like Dessert
(See Recipe Below)
Dessert Tips
The one department in which we
always welcome new ideas is in the
Q dessert line. This
season it is no
different, and
even more excit
ing.
First of all,
whipping cream
has returned to
the market, and we’re having great
fun using it. Bananas are seen at
the markets more frequently and, of
course, strawberries are just com
ing in season plentifully.
Because of the warmer weather,
all of us are on the lookout for those
cool, cool desserts that just seem to
slip down our throats, leaving only
their delicate flavor to tease the ap
petite. My advice to you is serve
light meals, well balanced, to be
sure, and then top them off with
a grand, brand-new dessert!
This first suggestion is tart but
smooth and pretty enough for com
pany. If you don’t make the cake
yourself, buy one ready-made to
save time, sugar and energy.

Lynn Says:
Serve a Salad: There’s no bet
ter way to get fresh vegetables
into the diet than via the salad
route. Here are combinations
which you will like:
Salad greens with one or more
of the following: avocado slices,
raw carrot or turnip strips, raw
cauliflower flowerets, slivered cel
ery, diced or sliced raw cucum
ber, raw tomatoes, green pej!|)er
rings, minced onions.
Serve vegetable salads with a
dressing made of oil, herbs, and
a bit of crumbled blue cheese.
One or more of the following
cooked vegetables makes a
pretty salad plate: peas, lima
beans, kidney beans, sliced
beets, asparagus tips, canned,
mixed vegetables, cauliflower or
brussels sprouts.
Vary your salad greens often
to avoid monotony. Here are a
list of greens: young raw spin
ach, cabbage, Chinese or cel
ery cabbage, dandelion greens,
chicory or endive, watercress
and leaf lettuce.
