THE NEWBERRY SUN .1 if FRIDAY, MAY 19, i960 , un 1218 College Street NEWBERRY, S. C. 0. F. Arm field Editor and Publisher PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the Postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: In S. C., $1.50 per year in advance outside S. C., $2.00 per year in advance. COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS BY SPECTATOR The mail has brought me twlo magazines which friends sent for my information. Dr. Lamg W. Anderson of Wilmington,, Delaware, sends one which I quote: “As January, 1950, ended, and while twp-third* of the ' people in the world were un dernourished or _ malnourished, we of the United States were paying $9,000 per hour just to store our agricultural surplus es. Bins, elevators, and. oaves were full. And more bumper crops were expected in 1950. “Hungry people in Asia, the Near East Europe, even in the United States, could read or be told of 154 million bushels of wheat clogging U.S. storage ca pacity, 75 md'Uion pounds of dried eggs buried in caves and deteriorating rapidly, 274 million pounds of dried milk not put to use—cotton, com, linseed oil, potatoes, wool, butter, bar ley, dried beans and peas, rice, rye—ail listed by millions of bales, pounds or bushels, in storage. To the hungry, no careful ex planation compounded of in ternational economic dilemmas could possibly compete in per tinency with the glaring fact that the United States buried food while they starved. Many well-fed Americans felt the same way. There were prob lems—difficult problems. But there was a moral urgency which, if acknowledged could find ways to do what should' be done.” Dr. Anderson was once a cadet attending my classes. He comes from Barnwell County, of sturdy, dndeoendent stock. I have no doubt that Dr. An- derson^is as handsome and fine as Lang was, in the days of long ago. South Carolina’s sons have gone far from 'home, but no finer son has ever left us that the Delaware physician whom I cherish as a manly young gentleman of character and refinement. The second magazine is a publication sent out 'by our State Highway Department. As is known, I think well of the Highway Department and sneak often of its good work. Because the Highway Depart ment does its work well does not mean that it is above cri ticism, or that the mantle of Solomon has fallen on it. I have remarked', and repeat it, that we are not spending the public money wisely when we spend millions in broaden ing streets in towns and build ing 'boulevards while asking for an increase in the gasoline tax in order to build farm-to- miarket roads. What is a far in to-market road? Is it a spe cial favor for one or two farm- ers? Or is it a road along which many farmers live, bui which is not known as an ar terial road, nor even a secon dary road? The roads from Charleston to Columbia are ar- feial roads; so are score of other roads, Columbia to Green ville; Greenville to Spartan burg, Columbia to Greenwood and Anderson, for example. A new road from Sumter to Kingstree may be a secondary road. But a road in Clarendon County from Jordan to Davis Station is a farm-to-market road. Not only farmers going to market use these roads, but all the people use them for not only do they come to town, but we go to soe them. It is certainly fairer to pase farm-to-market roads than to transform serviceable roads in to boulevards; and surely the Spending of large sums, moving all the buildings on a street, is open to question at all * times, and em,phpatically now. The Editor writes in a some what typically bureaucratic manner, as though to say: “We are right; you poor fellows don’t know.” I do not wish to qualify as a critic, but any one of ordinary intelligience who travels the roads as I do is hardly a horse-and-buggy critic. I use our (highways every day, my record being about forty thousand miles at year, usually over paved high ways, now frequently becom ing a bit bumpy, or like a washboard, even near Colum bia. It does not greatly matter whether the Legislature author ized certain projects, or whe ther they came full blown from the mind of the Department, through the Commission. Whe ther the spending of large sums is wis* or not is not determined by an Act of the General As sembly. It iis the spending I criticised, not the Hi^iway De partment. I was speaking of public mOney and unwise use of it. So that my friend may not misunderstand me, let me boil it down: it is ridiculous to spend millions of dollars on widening streets, while unable to pave thousands of miles of roads still in the mud. Fur thermore, a city already hav ing two or more outlets can hardly contend that this spend ing of a million or more is as urgent as the paving of roads. There is no argument about that: look over the streets and projected boulevards and then look over the dirt roads. There is such a thing as timeliness; the relative importance of work needs attention. When the State has done something for all who pay the tax on gasoline, then let it be gin to improve, as need may require. This includes the pav ing of streets which are properly part of an arterial road. After all, it is the people's money, regardless of who auth orizes the spending, or spends it. So lets not get high and mighty about it. Cotton has to fight every day. First it seeks new markets, then finds that its old markets are being attacked. The tire- makers used 280 million pounds of rayon last year, fifteen times as much as they used in 1941. This year the tire-makers ex pect to use 285 to 290 million pounds of rayon. In 1941 Coton' was used for 93 per cent the textiles used in tires; last year the percent age had fallen to 73. That ri something else for the legis lators to think about. POLITICAL Announcements 6va u : V\OD South Carolina is badly ad vised if the State Appropriation Bill is based on bank clearings. The Cities and industrial cen ters may be prosperous, while the farmers may be as poor as Job’s turkey. What is the out look? Do the textile leaders suggest that the outlook is so roseate that higher taxes are justified? I find that industrial output was two per cent below corresponding first quarter of last year; and I find that the farmers ar e considerably 'below last year. Then, again, all the prophets of Agriculture speak dolefully of the boll-weevil. Statistical prosperity is good reading, but while the farmers may be rich, according to sta tistics, all the Carolina farmers may be decidedly below par; or the record for the State may be good, While the Spatran- burg peach-growers are hard hit. The best program for South Carolina is to do some deep cutting of the budget. If, dn a fancied era of milk and honey, our income wont support all that we have in the bill, shall we commit the State to more spending and higher taxes when her condition is worse? Would it be possible to persuade legis lators to think of the taxpayer first, instead of the tax-spender? f-Sf lest: ■'h* m More Freezers On The Way That big bargain we offered in Dolly Madison Freezers completely wiped us out in a few days.

Come into our air conditioned studio soon for a sitting. Nichols Studio Well there is something that giives us 'hope; another new discovery of the laboratory This time it is something callec “Subtilin”. The laboratory men thought of the wonder-workers, Fene- cillin, Streptomysin and Aure- omysint, as germ-killers in the human body, so they might also kill the germs which cause fruits and vegetables to decay; and they are still wondering about preserving meats. Let me quote something on Subtilin: “Subtilin, government scien tists hope, will turn out to be a new kind of -wonder drug. It’s being developed and tested. Subtilin is a White-to-brownish powder—a chemical made in the bodies of tiny microbes. It’s a killer. It attacks microbes in the same way peneoillin, strep tomycin and the sulfas do. It may bring you cheaper food. It may make your canned peas taste like just off the vine. It mtey give you “fresh” corn from cans in winter. Scientists hope subtilin may some day gave you milk that will stay fresh longer on warm days and canned milk that doesn’t taste so “canned”. Re sear sh men are running tests to see if subtilin can help pre serve meat, fish and poultry. “Subtilin would work this miracle in the canneries' by do ing the same job that high heat does today only 'better, “a gov ernment expert explains. “Gam ming does two things—it kills the microbes that make food decay, and seals the food in air-tight cans to keep new microbes from getting in. High heat does the first half of this job: it kills the microbes. Mild heat plus subtilin seem to do the same thing better.” Subtilin was first tried out '■n people as a medicine. But it didn’t work. Because it’s in soluble in blood, scientists couldn’t find a practical way of getting it to the germs in sick bodies. Then a Department of Agri culture man was struck by a thought: If -wonder drugs could kill germb that make people (Continued on Back Page) ■%£</ ■’> 'v'-' CK* ? : ■ I t BLONDE BOMBSHELL — Verna Jo Renseleer is just one of the many pretty cowgirls appearing with the famed Cher okee Ransh Wild West Rodeo at Newberry Fairgrounds Mon day and Tuesday.
