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."

SPORTS
AFIELD
The good old days! 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.
