intendent of education, has been
appointed by Governor J. Strom
Thurmond as chairman for the
county for United Nations Flag

The National 4-H clubs have
taken the lead in making the
United Nations flags available to
any organization or individual.
At a conference held at Winthrop
College in September, the Home
Demonstration agents were given
instructions in making the U. N.
flags, and the information has
been passed on to the various
Home Demonstration clubs in the
county. _
The first U. N. flag to be dis
played in the county was by the
American Legion at its regular
meeting on Tuesday night. The
second flag was used on Wednes
day afternoon when the Coun
ty Council of Farm Women met
at Hartford school for the regu
lar meeting.
Four U. N. Flags have been
made in the county. Miss Counts
will order the material, and give
instructions to anyone interest
ed in making the flags. They
are blue and white, and are
easily made.
Mr. Brown advised that the
United Nations flag must never
be subordinated ter another flag
in either size or proportion. The
proper method of displaying the
flag, according to the chairman,
is as follows: Jf the United
States flag and the United Na-
m** fla* are tbe on^^jttpftL^
on display, the flag codes of thermal
U. S. and the U. N. will both
be met if the two flags are of
equal size and displayed at the
same height, with the U. N.
flag on the left and the U.
flag on the right.

Brown Tells
Preachers Off
Ministers usually are syninath-
etic to prisoners when they ap
pear before the parole board in
the interest of one seeking a
parole. Last Thursday three Bap-
ministers appeared in behalf of
Pete McGaha of Greenville, serv
ing a life term.
Some barely knew the prisoner
but they talked to him once or
twice or maybe three times. They
told the board they thought he
had made a change—for the bet
ter.
Dr. Young M. Brown of Pros
perity, board chairman interpos
ed a question that was in the
form of a cross-examination of
the preachers. He asked if they
approved on the treasurer of the
Southern Baptist Home Mission
board several years ago. He re
ferred to a man who had been se-
ected for the position by a board
created by the Southern Baptist
Convention.
The man disappeared one day
and when he was located South
ern Baptist learned that he had
carried off about $900,000 of the
home mission money with him.
“You Baptists had confidence
in Mr. Carnes, didn’t you?” Dr.
Brown asked.
The ministers explained that
he was selected by a board and
that they did not know him per
sonally. The chairman then
pointed out that they might not
know too much more about the
prisoner.
Mr. and Mrs. Jess Guinn have
returned to their home on Hunt
street, after spending several
weeks in Washington, D. C..
where Mr. Guinn was a patient
in a Veteran’s Hospital there

treatment
