COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS BY SPECTATOR Mr. Truman was within the law in removing General McArthur, though there may be a question about that. The President is Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, of the Army and Navy of the United States, but not of the United Nations. It is what a lawyer calls a nice point: General McArthur was not only Commander of the troops of the United States, but he govern ed Japan as representing the Na tions of the Second World War. But the President dismissed Mc Arthur from all the positions. I merely make the point casually because the United Nations seems to be a sort of flop, though op erating expensively and ambitious ly at the cost of the American taxpayers, “for the most part.” What was the real trouble? Even though Mr. Truman may act within his legal powers he is himself a servant of the people and must answer to them. Mr. Truman, in a sudden burst of inspiration, decided to stop.the Northern Koreans from seizing South Korea. We have Com munists in the United States, even in the Government itself, ac cording to reports. And we have even worse disruptive Influences in Washington. And the real head and heart of Communism in all the world Is Russia. We deal with Tito and his Communist gov ernment: we send money to Frances, which has many Com munists; not to mention Italy. But the President picked out Ko rea for a demonstration of our determination to stop the spread of Communism. By the blunder ing of Mr. Truman and General Marshall China was a victim of Communism. So General Mc Arthur was ordered to save South Korea. This he did, driving the North Koreans back almost to China. Then our Inspired states men stopped him. There he and his army stood while the enemy prepared for fresh attacks. Mc Arthur and the so-called United Nations army must not cross a line, though the enemy was there preparing for fresh attacks. Mc Arthur wasn’t permitted even to send planes to observe the enemy as he built up his forces. Mc Arthur wasn’t permitted to at tack the Chinese coast towns; nor was he f>remitted to use a half million Chinese troops that wanted to help him. Why was that? Because that might stir up a war in China, or with China, or with Stalin! The Chinese, with Stalin’s help were killing our boys and are killing our boys, but we must not excite the Chinese! Sounds asinine to me. And the professional Democrats, the boys on the payroll and called Demo crats, they rush to defend Mr. Truman!

Why kill our men ad refuse the aid of a half-million Chinese? Our English friends are well tble to look out for themselves: they hold Hong Kong, a great tnd rich city; so they fear an uprising on th,e mainland of China. After all, their interest ills their minds; and our Govern ment has become so foreign-mind- •d that it can’t think of America! I commend Representatives Riv- rs and Dorn; they spoke like Vmericans; we are getting tired tf politics and the sacrifice of eal, enduring national interest or the sake of Party loyalty or •egularity. After all, if America, he real America, is lost where dll the Democratic Party be? The Democratic Party is today largely an organization of old political hacks, except in a few Southern States, including South '’arolina. Who has slapped the South in the face time after Mme? The Northern Democrats md the Trumanite crowd. Are vou proud to claim kinship with them? B. J. King of Aiken was a level headed, forthright man who loved \merica and used his paper to nroclaim the truth. Mr. King md Mrs. King have sent out ’wice-a-week a paper that carried i message of true Americanism. The passing of Mr. King is a loss to the State, but I hope Mrs. \nnie King will continue her fine ervice to the public. Recently I dropped in to pass ’he time of day with Editor Mag- 11 of St. George. The pleasant 'entleman who met me at the 'anctum told me that Mr. and Mrs. Ma«ill had been in a wreck. I trust they are mending and doing well. 1212 MAIN STREET PHONE 610 A great daily paper tells us that “Mechanical brains are ihowing how to make better iutos’ That mechanical brain may be a wonder in computing, in arithmetic and the higher realms >f mathematics, but most of us need help in making simple de- islons. For example, could this mechanical brain have come to the aid of President Truman? No; so it will not serve in our ordinary problems. But it is a stimulating thought that we may someday have a mechanical brain to solve our problems. Just as a step in the right direction let ns hope that such a mechanical device may be bought for the White House and several for Congress. We could use one or two in this State. Have you ever eaten all the salmon or sardines you wanted? As a little boy I was thrilled when three or four young men in a store across the street—this was in Charleston—opened two or three cans of salmon, stirring in salt, pepper and vinegar, and invited me to take a handful of soda crackers from a big box and loin in the feast. Alas and alack! T am no longer a boy of ten; to day it would be more prudent just to look at a picture of all that salmon. Well today Americans are eating canned meat in great quantities, not just salmon and sardines. I quote an article on canned meats: “Want to cut your meat bill? Buy meat in cans. If you do, you’ll be joining a pell-mell con sumer parade that’s making can ned meat the fastest growing seg ment of the packinghouse indus try. This heavy demand is superim- nosed on sales that have been limbing for over a decade. Here are a few statistics that show how housewives have stamped away from the butcher counter to "anned meat shelves. Between 1939 and 1950, production of all types of meat in the U. S. rose “'7 percent. Canned meat output vaulted 191 percent during the mme period, according to the National Meat Canners Associa tion. In 1939, the trade group reports, only one out of every 29 pounds of meat, processed went into cans; now the ratio is one in 12. This growth had made meat canning a big business. The 50 firms that make up the in dustry In the U. S. turned out 1,230 million pounds of canned meat last year. That doesn’t in clude the 126 million pounds of canned corned beef, ham and other meats the U. S. imported from South America and Europe. Consumers shelled out a record $600 million for this mountain of canned meat the National Meat Canners Association estimates. The high price of steak, chops and hamburger is one of the more compelling reasons for the swing to canned mdat. Corned beef is a good example of how you can cut your meat bill with a can opener. A can of this South American product weighing three-fourths of a pound retails In Chicago chain stores for 45 cents. It’s cooked ready for slicing or hash as it comes out of the can. There’s no more ‘shrink’ to reckon with. International Packers, Ltd., big gest of the South American corn ed heef canners, takes 1 1-3 oounds of lean fresh meat—a type that would make good ham burger—to produce one can of corned beef. Chain stores in Chicago are asking 66 cents a nound for hamburger, or 87 cents for the amount of corned beef you get in each can. Other canned meats offer equally spectacular economies, Swift & Co., which pioneered canned meats for bab ies, put one of its home economis ts to work pan broiling and scraping beef to see how much fresh meat it took to equal one 8 Vi ounce can.

The answer is a wot ful des sert that’s easy to make, a feast to the eye, and a joy to the palate —a split layer of cake put to gether in a split second with a custard-like filling, topped with sugar or frosting, and called a Washington or Boston Cream Pie. The smart way to make this mouth-melting dessert is with white cake mix and a lemon pud ding and pie filling mix. There’s a cake mix that assures you of a downy-light triumph, put out by the makers of a famous cake flour. It’s quick to use, it’s white and light and has delicious Photo by Swans Down Instant Cake Mix flavor. When the big square is baked and cooled, it’s the work of an instant to split it, spread the lower section with the pudding, temptingly lemon-flavored and just right in consistency, replace the upper section and spread frosting or sift confectioner’s sugar over the top. A garnish of cherries or strawberries adds a lovely color touch, and makes your pie-cake a thing of real beauty. _ The white cake mix has a sister devil’s food mix that also pro duces downy-light cakes.

Or if you have a family of four, lamb chops for one meal will kill the better part of $2. ‘You can get as much actual meat from a 49 cent 12- ounce can of spiced ham.’ Why are some of these big selling var ieties of canned iqe&t cheaper than fresh? One reason is that the packers utilize all the bone and fat trimmed off the meat they can. Housewives shuck them in the garbage. Canning cuts • the cost of transporation. There’s less weight to move be cause the shrinkage takes place in a packing plant instead of your wife's kitchen. Storage charges are less too. Most canned meats don’t have to be refrigerated; it costs money to provide refrigera tion for fresh cuts. Still another reason is that most stores don’t mark up canned meats as much as they do fresh cuts. The other major causes of the canned meat boom is that these products are time and work savers. They’re in the same cat egory as automatic washing ma chines and mechanical dishwash ers. . - Canning helps farmers get more for their products, too. Pork shoulders, for example, used to sell at a sharply lower price than ham. Now much of this meat is made into such products as spic ed luncheon meat in 12-ounce cans. Or take old laying hens. They used to be sold for stew ing. Now, many go into cans. ‘These old hens are bringing about 38 cents today but If there weren’t a market for canning, they’d be down around 26 cents.' The manager of the canned meat department at one packing house says.’’ MORE THINGS for MORE PEOPLE . . . that’s the American way!

Counts pastor, is planning to dedicate their new place of worship on Sunday, May 6, 1951. Dr. Karl W. Kinard, President of the Evangelical Lutheran Truman that he began without a silver-spoon; or that he was un successful in his little store. Let us judge him as of today, in the great office he holds. Most of our Presidents began with lowly people. We have al ways been proud of that. A great man who Is also a great indus trialist and a success by every- standard rose from the farm in Iowa and is distinguished not merely for his wealth but for his broad humanity, his intellect ual grasp of the problems of the world as well as the problems of Synod of South Carolina, and several former pastors will take part in the morning and after noon services. The Silverstreet Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized by the Rev. S. P. Koon, D.D. in 1908, with twenty-five charter members. The first building errected in 1909. Within a years a parsonage was and since that time there been a resident pastor. At seflt there are about two hui members on the roll. industry. He said to me one day of Mr. Truman: “Think of It; a few years ago an undistinguished figure, a failure in a small enter prise; today President of the United States!” We teach that to the lads of today; it Is the glory of America; so let us not seek Mr. Truman’s weakness in his ancestry; let’s not go back of today. Sometimes I think Mr. Traman is the victim of the army of smart-alecks that came on the scene a few yean ago. And we hare many third rate men in top positions. Nobody thinks are governed by first class But striking at Mr. “ parents is not the true Am< method of fighting.

Mr. Truman may have a hum ble origin; and he may have failed in business. A great pap er is quoted as making much of that.
