THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1957 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE WORLD OUTDOORS I N THE good old Summertime our pursuit of pleasure takes us to the world outdoors and what ever our particular form of rec reation may be, chances are that we will be near water. Swimming, boating and fishing, of course, are three sports where water is directly involved. Every Summer thousands of men, wom en and children who are not com petent swimmers indulge in these sports in one degree or another —end many of them needlessly drown. For safety's sake, when you are around water, keep your head at all times. If you cannot swim, be a "sissy" and stay in the shal low water. If you consider your self an expert swimmer, don’t p»i«h your luck by swimming too far from shore or swimming with out a companion. If you find your self in swift water or a dangerous current, don’t get excited or pan icky. Swim diagonally across the current, slowly. Don’t buck it, make it work for you. If your boat turns over, again, don't get excited. Whether you are an expert swimmer or a begin ner you can save yourself by keep ing your nerve and clinging to your boat. Body cramps and current are dangerous hazards but equally dangerous is the act of getting panicky in the water. If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, make an effort to conserve energy •nH not waste it flailing about in the water. You’ll drown only if you lose control, give out of breath, swallow water, or tire yourself out too quickly.

SO-CALLED CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT UNDERWAY This is one of tlie most trying times in the history of our co untry for the Southern members of the Senate who must fight against the enactment of the so- called civil rights bills.. We have been holding cau cuses to make plans for the extended debate which appears to be forced upon us by the lib erals. Debate can start when a motionn is made to take up the civil rights bill for considerat ion. Then, if it should actually be taken up, the bill itself can be debated at length. Each am endment also can be debated to some extent. The best strategy, however, might lead to differ ent use of our time. It would take a motion by 16 Senators to force the Senate to bring to a vote whether or not to cut off debate. Then the vote on limiting debate—or cfloture, as it is called—requires the sup port of 64 Senators actually to cut off debate and limit speeches by each Senator to one hour. BILL WILL BE FULLY DEBATED It is my intention, and the intention of each Southern Sen ator who has participated in our meetings, to do everything poss ible to continue debate to the full est extent. We do not intend to bow to the dicates of the liberals of both parties who want to force their form of so-called civil rights down our throats. I hope—but have little reason to believe— that by the next time I write my report to the people, the civil rights issue will have been resolved in favor of the rights of the people and the prin ciples of Constitutional Govern ment. RESOLUTION ON FOREIGN TRIALS INTRODUCED I have introduced a resolution in the Senate to make known the views of the Congress and the people of officials of the Govern ment who deal with problems of our Armed Forces overseas. In my opinion, the people want our men in service to be protected by having the right to be tried by our own courts-martial when they are charged with committing a crime while in the performance of their duty. Under the so-ffalled Status of Forces Treaties, when our men are sent to a country, where such agreements are in effect, our mil itary authorities "have the prim ary right to exercise jurisdiction over our men” in relation to “offences arising out of any act or omission done in the perfor mance of official duty.” However, another provision of the treaties provides that: “The authorities of the State having the primary right shall give sympathetic consideration to a request from the authorities of the other State for a waiver of its right in cases where that other State considers such waiver to be of particular importance.” GIRARD CASE IS EXAMPLE That is the point which concerns me. The best illustration of what can happen when the United States waives the primary right to jurisdiction over a member of our Armed Forces is the Girard Case, which is now pending be fore the Supreme Court. I ant icipate that, under the waiver pro vision, the Court will permit Girard to be turned over to the Japanese for trial. When this country sends fight ing men overseas, the least we can do is to protect the best interests of the men by providing them trial by our own courts-martial for acts done when they are on duty.

It S'urcelld -Your Private Bankero” 1418 Main SL Newberry BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER We had little in the way of bought toys and things back in our stone hills of the Dutch Fork when I was a kid. But we made the most out of what we had, and that was enough. The Chinaberry tree had a lot of meaning for us. Some good, some bad." , The bad part was that it would sprout' up so on the ditch banks and hedge rows, and we had to be everlastingly cut ting ’em down* And when it bloomed we held our noses in, passing it. For the colored folks had taught us the smell ing of those blooms would give us dysentery. Where there wras just a tree or two, we would hold our noses and run by them. But if the path was by a Miole row of ’em, we would take a de tour out through the field. Other than for these two reasons, we liked those trees. The main thing we liked about them was the berries they fur nished in such abundance for our popguns. We made our guns from cane joints that grew down on the creek. The ramrod was whittled from an easy-cutting piece of pine. It was a bit shorter than the barrel, so as to not quite push the berry through. That one then furnished the bullet when the next one was forced in from the other end. And it would leave the barrel with quite a pop. We had all sizes of pop guns. This enabled us to start when the berries were quite small. As they grew, we used a little big ger gun. And that continued un til, alas, the seed got hard in the berries and would split our guns when forced into them. That was a sad day. But for about a month we had a merry time. And our pockets were never empty of ammuni tion. We fought our wars with those guns. And a Chinaberry shot hard, just before the seed matured, could really sting you. Parents protested, on account of the danger to eyes. But that got little result, for we had too much room to be cramped.
