A penny had real meaning when I was a kid. It could buy a fairly sizable batch of candy at our crossroads store. And a nickel looked like a cart wheeL We didn’t often have one of them. Eggs were a cent a piece, and we often took one to the store and traded it for candy. But there was a time when we saw a bit of affluence. That was when our cousin from the city came. Instead of having an occasional penny or egg to spend, he had dimes and quart ers! Our store was two miles across the woods at White Rock. In the middle of the long summer afernoons he and I would steal off with Vienna sausage on our minds. At the store he would have them open up a can of sau sage, a few large sweet crack ers, and two soft drinks that were cooled in fresh water from the well. And there on the coun ter we feasted, the envy of every other barefooted young ster that happened to come in from the stone hills. He was a rather finicky eater, but I wasn’t. So I cleaned up all that was left. Cousin Ed came in one day and saw us eating. After having seen me take on a big dinner just two hours before, he asked me where I put it all. Said it must go down into my feet, as the^ were the biggest things about me. I liked that, for it sounded big, like a man, to eat a lot. Next week I will tell you what happened on the way back home one day.

LONG STUDY OF RESOLUTION For many we^ks I gave a great deal of consideration to the teso- luthn approving military and economic cooperation with nat'ens in the Middle East at th> Presi dent’s discretion. I voted for the resolution when it was approved by a vote of 72- 19. I was opposed to the provi sion specifically authorizing use of $200,000,000 for economic aid to Middle Eastern nations. I vot ed 'for the Russell amendment which would have removed that authorization because I believe we should try to reduce foreign economic aid instead of increas ing it. Nevertheless, when we were de feated in our efforts to remove that provision, I felt the resolu tion was too important to our country to vole against it. I want to tell you the reasons which brought me to that viewpoint. PEACE MOST VITAL ISSUE I believe every citizen of this country—particularly every moth er and father- -is more interested in continued peace than in any other matter. Regardless of our preference to leave other nations to work out their own problems, I am c-.n- vineed that circumstances force the United States to recogn : ze the practical situation which exists in the Middle East. If we fail to take steps to halt the in filtration of Middle Eastern na tions by the Communists, I believe it is most likely we shall soon find ourselves faced with anoth-' er situation such as the one which developed in Korea in June 1950. KOREA A TRAGIC EXAMPLE In my opinion the Korean War developed largely as a result of our failure to let it be known that we were interested in main taining the integrity of South Korea. Instead of letting our int erest be known, Dean Acheson, the Secretary of State at that time, had made a speech in Jan uary 1950 in which he' did not mention Korea as being one of the areas in which we were inter ested. Korea was a tragic and costly experience to the United States, both in human lives and in our resources. We cannot change the Secretary of State with causing the Communist attack on South Korea, but we must remember the lesson of Korea when we con sider our vital interests in trying to maintain peace in the Middle East. FORMOSA RESOLUTION EFFECTIVE Another instance in our foreign relations should also be remem bered. In 1955 the President re quested the Congress to approve a resolution expressing our inter est in Formosa and certain of the off-shore islands of China. At that time the Chinese Communists were giving every indication of launching attacks on the islands and on Formosa. When the Con gress approved the resolution with an overwhelming show of unity, the Chinese Communists immediately became more concil iatory toward the United States. The lessons of Korea and For mosa show rather clearly that the nations of the world respect the United States when we take a positive position in any matter. DEMONSTRATION OF UNITY NEEDED The most important point in approving the resolution was to demonstrate the unity and deter mination of America against the aggression of the Communists. I am firmly convinced the resolu tion has had that effect and will help restrain the Reds in the Middle East. v CONFIDENCE IN RICHARDS I am greatly pleased that a South Carolinian has been select ed by the President as his Spec ial Ambassador to the Middle East. I refer to former Congress man James P. Richards of Lan caster. Ambassador Richards re- * tired from Congress as Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives. His vast experience over nearly a quarter of a century in the House of Representatives, as well as his experience in 1953 as a member of the United States Delegation to the United Nations, give him the highly important background needed to take a prac tical approach to international problems. The fact that Dick Richards is to lead our efforts to maintain peace in the Middle East gives me added confidence in the program. ADDITIONAL FHA EMER GENCY LOANS PROMISED Since returning to. Washington in January, I have held a number of conferences with Farmers Home Administration officials urging them to make it easier for the small farmer to secure emer gency loans. Administrator K. H. Hanson of FHA has now promised me that additional emergency loans will be made available to farmers in South Carolina. He issued in structions on March 5 to FHA of ficials in South Carolina. Details of the loan requirements can be obtained from local FHA offices. CO-SPONSOR OF FARM LABOR BILL I have joined Senator Stennis of Mississippi in sponsoring a bill to give the farmer greater protection than he now has under definitions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Because of a Supreme Court decision and application of the law by the Secretary of Labor, farmers have been subjected to undue hardships in connection with the “first processing” of commodities. This bill clarifies the definitions of “agriculture,” “the area of production,” and “first processing.” The result should be a fairer application of the law to farmers. ANTI-DUMPING BILL CO SPONSOR Another bill I am co-sponsor ing, with Senator Magnuson of Washington, is to prevent the “dumping” of foreign goods in this country by price-cutting de vices. The bill will tighten up loopholes i n the present anti dumping law and simplify defi nitions to make enforcement eas ier, thus protecting American em ployees and employers from floods of foreign-made goods.

He writes that a few summers back they de cided to get a more modern elec tric refrigerator. He shopped around and found by buying a new one outright he could save enough to just about clear the old one. So he kept it. And since then he has used it to cure meat in. Said he can handle the meat of three hogs in it at a time, and he is not worried about warm spells and consequent spoilage. Even last summer he killed a hog, for some fresh meat, . and easily cured the hams and should ers in it. He also finds use for this extra refrigerator to keep surplus fruits and • vegetables in gridiron they paused to select captains for the 1957 football sea son. Marion Lee and James Fras er were declared captain and co captain respectively. Lee and Fraser are ranked as two of the most consistent per formers in Coach Harvey Kirk land’s crew. Both men are prod ucts of Florence. They transfer red to Newberry from the Univer sity of South Carolina after serv ing a hitch with the Armed Forces. Marion Lee quickly moved into his starting tackle position and began to merit recognition throughout the state by his out standing performances. During the past 2 seasons, the 6-2, 210 pound tackle, has proved to be a key lineman and recently was select ed as the Lineman of the Year in the Little Three. Lee was also selected to the All-State team. Jim Fraser is a 6-0, 175 pound battling Redskin end. Fraser’s de termination won him a starting position this season, although he played behind big Ed Blanko dur ing his first season, on the squad. Fraser’s size has been no handi cap as he has out played his heav ier opponent in many contests. Fraser is a stalwart on defence, but his cheif asset is his ability to out maneuver the opponents \>n the Redskin pass patterns. The receiving ability of Fraser is un excelled, and it is not rare .for Fraser to make spectacular catches such as the one which set up the Indians touchdown against Presby terian on Thanksgiving Day. Both Lee and Fraser have pro ven themselves to be leaders and gentlemen on the playing field as well as off. The football know ledge and sense will aid them in their capacity as co-captains. until they can be eaten or process ed. And it’s mighty handy to chill melons in too. SAFE GRAIN STORAGE With our gro^ying grain acreage and increasing yields, safe stor age is of prime importance. Mod ern elevators are coming at a number of places. And many round metal bins and other safe structures are to be seen on many a farm now. In this connection, County Agent Rogers of Allendale says: “Most farmers in the county are in fairly good shape so far as storage is concerned. Many round metal bins were erected the past year and more will be this year. A forced-air drying system has been necessary to bring the mois ture down in soybeans. Some test ed as high as 19 percent moisture, which is too high for safe stor age. We have a sampling tube here in the office that farmers borrow to take samples with.” ATTENDS WEDDING IN ATLANTA Mrs. L. W.
