On another trip to Greece ,Mr. Foster flew with General James Van Fleet to the front lines in the closing phases of the guerilla war in the Vitsi and Grammes cam paigns, ending up on the back of a mule at Mt. Tsarno on the Greek-Albanian border. In Finland, Mr. Foster broadcast through a nation-wide strike. In February of 1950 Mr. Foster flew to Brltian to cover the British elections with his pro grams originating at London for a two-week period. Then, over Whit-Sunday weekend of that year he was in Berlin covering the Communist Youth March for another two-week period. In the last three years his broadcasts have originated from almost every European capital. On two of three trips his daughters were with him and appeared on the air with him. Cedric Foster ts a native New Englander of ten generations. His tenth great-grandfather was Regi nald Foster who settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1636. On his father’s mother’s side, Mr. Foster goes back to the Mayflower, being the ninth great-grandson of the daughter of Francis Cooke, who landed at Plymouth, Massachsetts| In 1620. Through this relation ship he is a member of th© May flower Society from the Connecti cut Chapter. Cedric Foster was born in West Hartford, Connecticut In 1900 and bdfore he was twenty-one years old, he had been in every State in the Union. He was educated in the public schools of Hartford; at Westminister School, Simsbury, Connecticut; New York Military Academy, Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, New York; and at Hoosick School, Hoosick, New York. He attend ed Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire in the Class of 1924. After hig college days, Mr. Foster began a jaunt which took him all over the United States as an active, working newsman, and which also included a trip to Tahiti, in the South Sea Islands, long before those islands were caught in the toils of war. In 1930 he made an extensive tour of Europe and while writing in Ger many a series of articles for the •Hartford, Connecticut Times’ of which he was Financial Editor, Cedric Foster accurately predicted the war which broke out in 1939. Foster’s debut in radio came when he was chosen by the Hart ford TIMES to build a radio sta tion for this newspaper. In 1939 when the declaration of war came, Mr. Foster began broad casting his analysis of the wai in Europe over this station in Hartford to a purely local audi ence. His subject matter was so interesting and his delivery so compelling, that his listening audi ence grew astoundingly. In the area covered by the station. It was found that as much as forty per cent of the listeners were tuned to Foster when he was on the air. In 1940, Mr. Foster became the first daytime news commentator on the Mutual Broadcasting Sys tem, and in June, 1941 he became a member of the Executive Staff of the Yankee Network in Bos ton, continuing his broadcasts over Mutual through affiliation of the two organizations.

Foster originates his news analyses from Radio Station WN AC in Boston, which is the outlet of the Yankee and Mutual Net works. According to the varying business conditions across the country, his program is sponsored currently by one hundred seventy different companies. Cedric Foster’s popularity is at tested to by the many demands from various organizat ions throughout the country for him to speak in person.

When King George II of Greece came to the United States, Foster was invited to be the only non-Greek speaker at the testi monial dinner In honor of his Majesty at the Astor Hotel in New York. A perusal of Mr. Foster’s broad casts over the last five years will reveal that many months before action was taken through the Truman Doctrine, this New Eng land commentator pointed out that such action was inevitable lest Southeast Europe be lost to Com munism. For years Cedric Foster has wanted of the dangers of Com munism and of the encroachments of the Soviet Union, even pointed these things out while Russia was an ally in fighting World War II.

Gas Revenue Now $39,300,000 Columbia, Feb. 23—Yearly in come from the state’s gasoline tax has jumped from $1,601,000 to $39<300 > 000 since the levy was first imposed here thirty-one years ago this week, J. T. Melton, Ex ecutive Secretary of the South Carolina P e t r,o 1 e u m Industries Committee, reported today. “Of course these thirty-one years have seen a substantial rise in gasoline consumption,” Mr. Mel ton said, “but the increased reve nue also reflects the change in our tax rate.” When a motorist buys 10 gal lons of gasoline today, he pays ninety cents in taxes to the state and federal governments, Mr. Mel ton pointed out. Thirty-one years ago, the tax on 10 gallons was twenty cents. He said that as of January 1st of this year, revenue from the state’s gasoline taxes alone had added up to $384,637,000 since first Imposed. Concert Association Plan Brings ‘Stars’ The Cbmmunity Concert Plan was instituted at a time when great concerts were given up as a hopeless cause. The reason: The system for selling tickets at a box- office. The public demanded the most famous stars on the concert stage or they failed to show up at the box-offioe. • The fees of these stars made necessary a large auditorium and a large popu lation to draw from. Only in maj or cities could such a situation be met and concerts for smaller com munities became impossible. The Community Concert As sociation conducts a one-week membership campaign during which those Interested in music of all kinds may join for the mutual benefit of all. This creates a clos ed association and a fund in the bank with which to buy artists. There is no profit and no loss. The local committee selects the artists for the season and democratically represents the whole membership. Thus both the desired “Stars” and the desired music is obtained. Whether the program is a bargain or costly, the cost to each mem ber is the same. Concerts have become an established institution under this plan in over a thousand communities, of which Newberry is proud to be one. A Showing of Beautiful Tailoring for Spring JOHN F.
