(Continued from page 1)
for the efficient job done during
the Christmas holiday season in
handling traffic and parking on
Main street. Prohibit trucks with
trailer or semi-trailers from load
ing and unloading in the business
district from the hours 6:00 a. m.
and 8:00 p. m. This would eliminate
trucks with trailers or semi-trail
ers from loading and unloading
on the streets during the business
hours.
9- Prohibit large trucks trans
porting inflammable or explosive
cargos from entering the business

possibility of diastrous fire and
reduce the hazard of a possible
explosion.

Jones and Cecil Merchant to fol
low up the work of the temporary
committee.
After being advised of the
State Municipal Association meet
ing to be held at Myrtle Beach
in May, council adjourned.
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.

FARMS AND FOLKS
USE FOR OLD REFRIGERATOR
Corey Key, good farmer down
at Lodge, is always coming up
with something new. 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.”
