In this I include the womanhood of the State, of course. Among those men and women are many who came to us from other States but who have become so completely a part of our life that they seem to have become native Caro linians, as some one has said. Sometimes a Carolinian makes his home in another State and does his part there. I am thinking of that fine gentleman, the late Judge A. W ^10^^, for whom I had great respect and esteem. The Judge passed away in Florida, but his service and example were an inspiration to South Carolina. On the day that Judge Holman left us another man of pub lic spirit—a citzen of Lexington—went to his reward. The passing of “Bob” Leaphart (C. E.) revives rich memories of the Lexington County unit of the Farmers and Taxpay ers League and the vigorous leadership of Dr. D. M. Cross- on, Mr. J. E. B. McCartha and our friend “Bob,” who was the secretary. Once I was scheduled to speak at Chapin. W T hen I arrived Dr. Crosson was speaking. He turned to me and said “I’ve held them an hour and a half until you came.” Stout men, those Lexington County Leaguers, eh ? The Doctor was quite an orator, as well as one of those noble physicians who responded to calls day and night within a region of many miles. One more incident connected with the Lexington unit of the Leaque: I was to speak one night in Leesville. It was a raw’ night. The late Richard I. Lane and I went together. The windshield was caked with sleet and the wiper wouldn’t work. Seventy five sturdy citizens met us. On our way to Columbia, late and cold, “Dick” Lane said: “All I have to say is that you and I are tough fellows to travel sixty miles a night like this, but those men in Leesville were hard up to hear a speech when they left nice warm homes and fine suppers to come to that meeting.” tvjwnvjr i The Joanna Way comes to me and I find it very interest ing. The Joanna Way is a newsy magazine published by The Joanna Cotton Mills Co. of Joanna, South Carolina. By th e way, the editor is Miss Mildred Bozard. May I ask Miss Bozard when her family moved from the Four-Holes section of Orangeburg County? If she wonders about my question let me tell her that the family name has long been identified with Orangeburg County, a great County, as every one knows. And Miss Bozard is living in a fine County now and is connected with a splendid enterprise. Our South Carolina textile enterprises are thoughtful of the comfort and welfare of their personnel; and in this no enterprise is more considerate than the management of the Joanna Mills. I have the honor to know the President, Mr. W. H. Regnery of Chicago, and the vice president, Mr. Walt er G. Regnery, who is the resident Manager. And I’ve had long association with some of the staff. The magazine is full of interesting items, but let me quote one: “On Washington’s birthday at historic Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, Freedoms Foundation announced an honor roll of American individuals and organizations to receive its annual $100,000 Freedoms Awards. Each year Freedoms Foundation, at Valley Forge, makes awards to American citizens for their work in helping to bring about a better understanding of the American Way of Life. Among those receiving these national honors in recogni tion of their efforts in upholding the ideal of freedom was Miss Mildred Bozard, editor of The Joanna Way. A George Washington Honor Medal was presented Miss Bozard for her article entitled ‘What America Means To Us,’ which was published in the September 1952 issue of The Joanna Way. This article was selected as one of seven winners in the United States in the classification in which it was entered (magazine article category, limited circulation). F.B.I. Chief J. Edgar Hoover was another of the seven winners in this group. Freedoms Foundation, chartered in 1949, is a non-political, non-sectarian, non-profit organization. It is devoted to the single purpose of granting awards to individuals and or ganizations for their patriotic efforts in behalf of the herit age of American Freedom. For the 1952 contest, over eight tons of material was submitted with less than seven tenths of one per cent of the contestants being declared winners. President Dwight D. Eisenhower serves as honorary Na tional Chairman of Freedoms Foundation. The Joanna Way was also honored last year with a certi ficate of merit Tor outstanding achievement in bringing about a better understanding of the American. Way of Life in 1951.’ ” . Now I'm thinking of sending my application to Mi*. Walt er Regnery. How's this: ‘Several weeks ago, Walter Regnery, vice-president of Joanna Western Mills Company, stated that the Joanna Cot ton Mills will be closed for the entire week of July 4th so that all employees may enjoy a week’s vacation with their families. The vacation period will begin after working hours on Saturday, June 27, and will end at 12:01 A.M. Monday, July 6. Mr. Regnery further announced that, in keeping with the policy of many years’ standing, this week’s vacation will be with pay for those employes who have been continuously employed from the first scheduled work day in July, 1952 through the last scheduled work day in June of this year. This vacation pay will be based on two per cent of your earnings for this twelve month period. You may expect to receive your check for the week end ing June 28 on Tuesday, June 30, at 9:00 A.M. Checks for all employees on all shifts will be distributed at this time. Employees may receive their checks in their respective de partments. The vacation checks will be distributed at the regular time during the week immediately following the vacation period. The management of Joanna* Mills sincerely wishes for each of you a happy and safe vacation. Obey safety rules while on vacation and you will find your trip made more pleasant. Have a good time but come back refreshed after a week of fun and rest.” ««< The law is majestic. I recall that a great Judge and teach er of law said to us: “Young gentlemen if your ideas and the law do not coincide, change your ideas; the law is right.” Well, well. All students of Constitutional Law recall what is known as the “Implied Powers.” That is that when the Constitu tion confers a power it confers the powers necessary to carry vout the original power. For example, if Mr. X says to Mr. Y “Go to New York and see Mr. A. for me and arrange such- and-such business,” it would be understood that Mr. X would pay Mr. Y at least the expense of the trip. That would be implied in business, but don’t strain it too far, for some folk have and some have not a fine sense of obligation. But what interests me at the moment is this considera tion : if there is recognized such a practice as implied powers in law, are there not implied restraints or restrictions, in law ? What am I talking about? The treaty-making power of the President and the Senate was never intended as a device to circumvent the plan rights of the citizens and the States. That word circumvent—to come around—to defeat, is some thing to think about. In a vague, general way most citizens have understood that we are governed according to laws enacted by States and by the National Congress. In recent years we have grown accustomed to regulations by our vast bureaucracy, directives by Cabinet officials, and all manner of orders, dispositions, interpretations and prognostications by various and sundry; but now we are face to face with something serious. It is the treaty-making power. Under that power the President and the Senate can by-pass the Constitutional guarantees which we cherish. Now I submit that we need a man like the illustrious Chief Justice John Marshall, a jurist who will say today that while there are implied powers there are mplied restraints and that no treaty shall be valid which circumvents, or abridges, or denies, or otherwse runs against, a constitutional guarantee or provision of what ever kind, nature or degree. We need a strong court of men steeped in the Constitu tion; we do not need political henchmen or Party loyalty on the bench. ' Beyond a doubt all the agreements, understandings and commitments between our Presidents and foreign powers, without formal sanction by the Senate, are repugnant' to the Constitution and invalid; and now we come to ai pos sible treaty, in due form, which will violate the constitu tional rights of our people. We must not depend on the good intention and high character of President Eisenhower; we must safeguard our rights and privileges by such legal buttresses as shall make clear, plain, and explicit, exactly what is what, and beyond any peradventure. From the Windom Reporter, Windom, Minnesota: No business man in any town should allow a newspaper published in his town to go without his name being men tioned somewhere in its columns. So says the American Bankers Magazine. This does not mean, continues this writer, that you should have a whole, half or even a quarter page ad in every issue of the paper, but your name and business should be mentioned if you do not use more than a 2-line space. A stranger picking up a paper should be able to tell what business is represented in a town by looking at the paper. This is the best possible town advertiser. The man who does not advertise his business does an injustice to himself and to his town. The man who insists on sharing the*business that comes to town but refuses to advertise his own is not a valu able addition to any town. The life of a town depends on the live, wide-awake and liberal advertis ing businessman. From The Lincoln Times, Lin- colnton, N, C.: You’ll just have to put up with Grandma if she’s do ing a little gloating. Modern re searchers and modern housewives have just discovered what she has known all her life and what, in fact, John Heywood remarked in 1546 that “The green new broom sweeps clean.” Laboratory study reveals that the new broom does better than the old, beaten-up job because broom-corn (from which all effi cient brooms are made) has hun dreds of invisible “claws’’ on the sweeping end. These claws pick up the dust, dirt and lint and shove it along where you want it to go A broom is “old” when these claws get worn down, and these scientific laboratory tests show that a new broom does as much sweeping in two swipes as an old broom does in seven or eight And the gals who are just be ginning to keep house on their own, we hear, have discovered that the old-fashioned broom is first- aid to the new-fangled vacuum cleaner. It gets into corners and cracks and crannies more vigor ously. It takes care of the litter- cut paper, hunks of crayon, pencil stubs, lollypop sticks and broken toys on the playroom floor after a rainy day; snippings and pins and threat in the sewing room: shavings, bits of wood, nails and screws in Dad’s workshop—the things that do not agree with the digestion of the suction-sweeper. We mention all this just so you won’t be too surprised at the return of the horse-and-buggy. But don’t expect fringe on the top of your new surrey It’s unsanitary. Heard a fella’s mixed up a new shaving lotion that’s sup posed to drive the girls crazy . . . smells like money. When you throw mud at somebody you’re the one that’s losing ground. DaleCarnegie ■jf AUTHOR OF "HOW TO STOP WORRYING ANDSTARTLIVING'' /^\LIN A. PALMER, JR., 5109 Ardmore Way. Baltimore, Maryland, lost his right eye twelve years ago. Dejected? He says unless you have gone through a similar experience, you have no way of know ing the dejection he felt. He was only sixteen, and it was like losing half of his life. It meant that unless he could overcome his handicap he was destined to be a failure. One day in a book about worrying he read “ever green forests know how to bend, how to bow down their branches, how to cooperate with the inevit able.” These words stuck in his memory, and he followed that philosophy. Instead of worrying about his loss, he told himself how fortunate he was to have one good eye. Rather than feel bad because he had lost half his sight, he realized how fortu nate he was that he wasn’t totally blind. In other words, he “cooperated with the inevitable.” Since that fatal day he has served three and one- half years in the army, traveling all over the coun try. He is a graduate of the University of Denver, from which he re ceived an A.B. degree, and a graduate of the Southwest Photo-Arts Institute, and he says he is going right ahead bettering himself month by month CARNEGIE mm 1.

ANSWER -t?iqui0|03 -g •t?n« j i sn v 9 z •p»»H hiu«ci *i ScohmCiq t£e L AST October In a speech at Memphis, Tennessee, Presi dent Eisenhower praised T. V. A. and said it “has helped conserve national resources, control floods and promote national defense.” As a result of that speech he received a large vote In the Chat tanooga and Knoxville areas. In fact, he carried those areas which are usually heavily Democratic. In a more recent speech, how- sver, the President has criticised r. V A. and used it as an example Df “creeping socialism.” This crit icism Is having a bad reaction in Tennessee. Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky. North Carolina, Vir ginia and Mississippi, states served by T V A. The reaction is being felt in Washington and may have a direct result on congressional elections to 1954 A number of influential newspa pers, who have supported the Pres ident’s program thus far. have tak en issue with him on the subject of T. V. A. They are pointing out that: (1) T. V. A. has repaid the Fed eral Treasury $181,131,519 since 1944. Every penny will be repaid by 1992. (2) T. V A. is more than $9,000,- 000 ahead of schedule In Its pay ment to the federal government. (3) After paying taxes, operat ing costs and allowing for deprecia tion, T V A. is showing a new earning of 4.3 per cent on money which the government borrowed at 2 per cent. In other words, the government is making a profit of 2.3 per cent. The kindest reaction to the Presi dent’s latest statement concerning T V A to the seven states men tioned is that he is “mistaken about his facts.” • • • A number of conclusions have been reached by political observ ers who watched the East Ger many riots that todicates . there was. after all. sound reasoning behind Russia’s recent peace bids.

S. should enter a Pacific alliance modeled after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), would we have to send troops to fight in French Indo-Chma? A—As Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R.-N. J.) pointed out recently, the NATO treaty provides that an attack on any member will be con sidered an attack on alL If France and the U. S. agree to a sim ilar pact in Asia, the Communist Viet Minh forces theoretically would be attacking us, and we probably .would be obligated to send armed forces in addition to the aid we now give. Smith agreed with Sen. Robert A. Taft (R.-Ohio) that a NATO-type set-up in Asia would be a good thing, but said he didn’t think we would have to promise as much as we do on the other side of the world. Q—Did Sen. William F. Knowland (R.-Calif.), the acting Senate ma jority leader, support Gen. Eisenhower at the Republican conveifc- tion last summer? A—No. Until Eisenhower had already won, Knowland stood by Gov, Earl Warren (R.-Calif.) _ Q—Can Congress order the UN Secretary-General not to hire an Amer ican leftist? A—Not theoretically. The UN Charter forbids the Secretary-General to accept direction from any national government. However, on June 8 the Senate passed a bill to punish Americans who accept UN jobs without FBI security clearance. mo’uL INTELLIGRAM Check the correct word. 1. Man has (32) (28) teeth. 2.
