■ ■ ■ WAY By DORIS ARMFIELD Washington, Oct. 2.—I had planned to have a detailed re port for you this week on a press conference held in Wash ington Thursday by J. Strom Thurmond, States’ Rights can didate for president. When 1 heard that Governor Thurmond was to be in Washington this week and would hold a press conference Thursday morning at the Mayflower Hotel, I im mediately made arrangements to play hookey from school and attend. Thursday morning dawned—but not sunny and clear. I arrived at school drip ping, reported in, then went out streetcar or taxi-hunting, but wasn’t successful in finding either. There are so many taxicabs in Washington they practically run over each other but trying to get one on a rainy day is like trying to find the proverbial needle in the hay stack. After ten o’clock, I finally gave up, knowing that the conference would be over before I could get there. So what I know of Governor Thurmond’s conference is what I read in the papers. You probably saw the reports— nothing was added to what he has said in the past about his campaign. Next time a press conference I’d like to at tend is held I’ll order better weather. Speaking of school reminds m<—so many people have ask ed me to explain just what kind of school I’m attending. It is the Stenotype Institute of Washington, where I am learn ing, or trying to learn, “sten ography.” Stenography is the same as shorthand, only instead of being written by pencil or pen, it is written on a machine. The Stenograph machine is a little less than half as large as a typewriter. It has 21 keys with alphabetical letters just as a typewriter, only it does not include the entire al phabet. -Tust as ore learns that “characters” in Gregg or Pitman shorthand mean cer tain things, so is stenotyping, combinations of letters mean certain things. The beauty of steotyping is that one can learn to take dictation up to 300 words a minute, whereas with pencil shorthand this is almost a physical impossibility. Stenograph operators are used almost exclusively in im portant governmental confer ences, government departments etc. for instance, the meetings of the United Nations are re ported by stenotypist. Almost all court, conference or conven tion reporters use the Steno graph machine. If you have been to a court in Newberry recently, you have seen the court reporter, Mr. McKinnie, use a Stenograph. It really is fascinating to watch, and may be someday I’ll be proficient enough to demonstrate just how it operates. In every letter I get from Newberry is the sentence “So- and-so told me to tell you how much they enjoy your column.” I would like to say how' much I appreciate your continued in terest even though I am not in Newberry and can no long er keep up to date on just what is going on there. I miss being there, too. I’ve been homesick ever since I’ve been up here, and will be glad to get back to the City of Friend ly Folks. I wonder if that Welcome to Newberry sign will be up by time I get back? There was an article in the Publishers Auxiliary recently which reminded me of some thing I wrote several months ago about radio station WKDK’s frequent use of the recording, “Near You.” Evidently a newspaper edi tor somewhere else was as dis gusted with one record as I was with that one, and here’s what happened: “All the results are in from this city where radio station WLOG and the Logan Banner conducted a spirited feud and contest with the fate of Nellie Lutcher’s recording of ‘Cool Water’ hanging in the balance. “The radio station had been ‘plugging’ the record, while the newspaper took issue as to its merit. A wager was made on its ultimate popularity with residents and it was agreed that votes pro and con would be tallied and, should the ra dio station win, the Banner edi tor would kneel before the re cord on the courthouse steps nd salaam. If. however, the [aimer’s stand was upheld in e voting, a representative _bm the radio station would _ireak the record on the same courthouse steps. “WLOG emerged victorious in the final balloting so the Banner’s city editor mounted the Logan courthouse steps and before a huge crowd of towns folk, salaamed before a copy of the controversial platter. The United Nations Appeal for Children benefitted from the affair, for each vote was ac companied by at least a dollar and all mohey received was turned over to UNAC."

The days when ducks & geese darkened the sun in their flights, and thi sound of their wings was like the roar of thunder. Every hunter dreams adout those days of lush plenty. You cyi hear his duck hunter blues moaning across the marshes: Daily ba limit down from 10 to seven to four; open season cut to 45, then 30 dajjs. Oh, for those good old days! Boys, those days are gone for ever says Frank Dufresne of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife service. The struggle to hang onto the waterfowl we now have is going to get tougher. Let’s take a look at what’s been happening, i Since the first settlers came to this continent the ducks and geese have had to contend with ever growing problems. They have faced a tremendous in crease in human population; they have lost over 100 million acres of marshes and lakes by drainage projects; they endured 20 years of severe droughts over the Great Plains. In 1934 the official count of ducks dropped to 27 million, the low est ever recorded. Wte began waking up to the truth that if you wanted ducks you first had to furnish some water for them. Now the voices of hunters joined those of bird-lover groups: “Restore the marshes.” Congress made money available for birds in amounts never be fore appropriated. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and many other organizations estab- lisheri a nationwide system of sanctuaries. And the ducks be gan to come back. Everything was going fine. Then came 19- 45. Nobody knows just what hap pened. The drought dried up prarie nesting sites; unpre cedented numbers of hunters took to the field at the end of the war; a record number of birds were killed—16 million in 1945, 19 million in 1946. And the duck pyramid collapsed just when hunters were fixing to ask for more shooting privil eges.
