COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR Are the Colored people, that is the majority, very keen on this idea of integration? I doubt very much that a great number would care for it. Very likely the agitation has come from ambitious leaders and a small number of com placent followers. Most of the mischief is due to some theoretical White men, who are either posing or are really out of touch with reality. Most people have ve*~y sensitive nerves when dollars and cents are involved. In Clarendon County the White and Colored people have lived peaceably all the years. The White people pay most of the cost of operating schools as well as bearing the expense of government. Municipal, County, State, School and Federal. They have the capital and most of the income. Getting down to cases, I may remark that the Colored school buildings are equal to those for White Children, some times better. Starting with Manning, the County Seat there are im posing buildings for Colored children. Going west of. Man ning toward Santee (Jordan) there is now no White school, but there is a new, commodious building, a very modern plant, for Colored children; in Paxville there is now no school for the White children but an excellent new school house for Colored pupils near Paxville. And so around the State. In Clarendon County are 102 White teachers; 182 Col ored teachers. The White teachers receive $288,083 and the Colored teachers receive $477,868. There are 26 schools buses for the Whites; 70 for the Colored. Since so much has been done for the Colored pupils, con sidering school-houses, buses and teachers, what reason is there for complaint? If all the teachers of the County were re-examined and re certified on the basis of scholarship it is not unlikely that seventy five per cent of the Colored teachers would show up badly by comparison. If that were done what would happen to the Colored teachers? County Superintendent McCord has been quoted as say ing that the dissatisfaction, if any exists outside a few agi tators, must be regarded as a reflection on the quality of teaching in the Colored schools. Quoting the report in The Manning Times: “Mixing Sought by Parents of 80 Clarendon Negro Chil dren. ‘Close Colored Schools Says Education Supt. McCord.’ A suggestion that ‘all colored schools should remain closed’ came today from Superintendent of Education L. B. McCord in the aftermath of the petitioning of parents of 80 colored children asking that they be admitted to white schools. Mr. McCord’s statement was the first issued by any school board officials since the receipt of the petitions, signed by 18 Summerton parents, 10 Manning and one Tur- beville. Said Mr. McCord’s prepared statement. ‘The only petitions for transfers have come from a col ored lawyer of Columbia alleging a wish of colored parents to transfer their children from colored to white schools. It suggests to mind that by implication the colored school teachers are incapable and incompetent. That suggests that perhaps all colored schools should remain closed un’ess their teachers can prove themselves prepared for teaching. I cannot but feel sure that the colored people must be dissat isfied with the colored teachers.—L. B. McCord, County Supt. of Education, Clarendon County.’ Mr. McCord had previously reaffirmed his stand against integration, saying ‘There will be no integrated schools in Clarendon County.’ Colored parents in the three school districts of Clarendon County mailed petitions which were received simultaneously Friday. The petitions were mailed from Columbia.” Do you like to visit an old church? The Allendale County Citizen of Tom O’Connor tells of a church celebrating its 200th year of service to mankind. At first I thought the account was of old Salkehatchie (called Sol-ketcher) Baptist Church, near Ulmer, strong hold of the McMillans years ago. Ulmers, you know, is on the Seaboard Air Line below Denmark. But the Church of 200 years is Coosawhatchie, near Fair fax. Of course Salkehatchie and Coosawhatchie are Indian names. I don’t know the Coosawhatchie Church and was some what bewildered. There is a town called Coosawhatchie be low Yemassee, on the Atlantic Coast Line Rail Road. Says The Allendale County Citizen: “Beech Branch Baptist Church, formerly Coosawhatchie Baptist church, near Fairfax, will celebrate its 200 year old anniversary whith a special program closing the revival services held during the week of September 7-13. A 45-min- ute program will be held beginning at 10 a. m., in which the church history and highlights will be given by the pres- (Continued on Page Six) NEW CITIZEN . . .

Tfie WORLD OUTDOORS T/INHERE do all the fishermen ' ^ go when the weather gets hot, the water too warm, and the fish “stop biting?” The good fish ermen go right on fishing and they continue to catch fish. In lakes that are big and deep, the successful angler raises his cork or bobbler when the tempera tures go up. He knows that the fish are going deep, where the water is cooler, to do their feed ing. In the streams and lakes that are not so deep, he concentrates more on the “shady" spots—lily pads, tree stumps, and tree-shaded shorelines. The successful angler may stay out all day, but he fishes most dil igently in the early morning and late afternoon. This is a good pol icy year-round, but it is more im portant during the warmer days of the year. The best time to catch fish is when they are feeding and common sense tells one that they do more feeding in the cool hours than during the hot por tions of the day. During hot weather, too, fish quite often do most of their feed ing at night. Some years ago, only a few fishermen indulged in night fishing. Now, in many sections of the country, it is quite popular. Spinning rigs and improved casting reels that have done away with the “backlash” problem have contributed to the sport of night casting. It’s fun and it’s produc tive. Try it! Nearly all fish feed at night and a notorious night feeder is the bass. If you have doubts, pick a good, clear night when there is a full moon. Take yourself out to your favorite bass spot. Choose a top water “popper” that will make a bit of noise. Flip it out, let it rest for a moment or two, then pop it once or twice—and we can add another name to our’list of night fishermen. I T’S handy to keep rubber bands on hand when wrapping pack ages.

Keep pliofilm bags in your laundry basket so clothes can be tucked in them while still damp dry. They keep the material moist until ironing time. They’re especially fine as separate bags for materials which may not be colorfast. If you don’t have a sewing table, buy an asbestos mat for those times when you need a firm surface for working to slip under the garment. Not enough skirt hangers? Use an ordinary wire hanger and at tach the skirt to the straight por tion with two clothes pins.

Detroit is the only point in the U. S. where you may look due South into Canada and a tunnel links downtown Detroit with downtown Windsor, Ontario. To visitors from overseas, the most impressive faced about a Detroit to Canada crossing is the unmilitarized fron tier. Except for customs and immigation officers, no guards stand along the U. S.—Canadian boundary. It’s easy to see Detroit’s indus trial might in action. Depending on your taste in cars, you may take a guide tour of the assembly line which produces any one of the rxation’s most popular models. The Rouge plant of the Ford Mo tor Company is the world’s larg- gest industrial concentration. Its vast production lines are fed by the Rouge’s own steel mills and within a two square mile com plex, some 63,000 men and women are employed. The river from which Detroit takes its name is the world’s busiest waterway. Huge flat- decked Great Lakes freighters, some nearly as long as the Em pire State Building is tall, pass at the rate of five an hour. The Detroit River is actually a swift flowing strait, up to 4 miles wide and 27 miles long, which chan nels the waters of the upper Great Lakes into Lake Erie. History comes alive at Detroit’s Greenfield Village, founded by Henry Ford, where one can see replicas of the tools and ma chines, furniture, shops and streets which made up the way of life of our fathers and grand fathers. Detroit’s Institute of Arts is one of the great museums of the world. The Detroit His torical Museum traces the growth of the city from the stock ade outpost of 1701 to the present great industrial metropolis. Fifth largest city in the U. S. (3,400,000 in metropolitan area), Detroit is the oldest continuous settlement in the midwest. It was founded in 1701 by Antoine Cadillac. r ■zmm. t jC- 5£5 % MISS JEANETTE SAUtS Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ernest Sauls of Goldsboro, N.

CO & THE SUPERLATIVE ’60 CHEVY « This is the one that says '60 like no other car. From its clean-thrusting grille to its dapper rear deck, there's so much that is new and different about this superlative Chevrolet it stands out from the rest like a fresh-minted coin. And you'll be just as wide-eyed over what's inside—the relaxing roominess, tasteful trim, hushed elegance, all comfortably cradled by Full Coil springs at all four wheels. Yet, sumptuous as this new Chevy is, you'll find new economy of operation, new dependability, new longer life. Here, then, we're confident both you and your budget will joyously agree, is the nearest to perfection a low-priced car ever camel Here’s the car that introduces a whole new decade of design —with so much that’s new and different the other ones can only hope to come close. It’s the superlative ’60 Chev rolet—with new space in side, new spirit under the hood, new splendor in every clean-etched line. Freshly shaped contours rake back from the unified new mile to the jaunty rear deck, fitted with craftsmanship you’d expect only on the most expensive makes. In side, there’s room to sprawl in, room to sit tall in— generously provided by Chevy’s sofa-wide seats and extra margin of hat space. And there’s even more leg room for the man in the middle—thanks to the way Chevrolet engineers have shaved down the trans mission tunnel. Out on the road, as Chevy’s Full Coil ride will persuade you most gently, there’s not a car near the price that comes close to the hushed comfort of this one. And, adding to your sense of silence and solidity are thicker, newly designed rubber body mounts that do an even more efficient job of filtering out road shock, tire hum and vibration. Quiet, quick-responding power is provided by a choice of two standard en- - Chevy’s famed Hi- fi and a new Econ omy Turbo-Fire V8 that gets up to 10% more miles out of a gallon of regular while delivering greater en gine torque at normal speeds. Chevy’s accent on comfort and convenience even ex tends back to its easier-to- load (and tremendous) luggage compartment. You’ll also find a convenient new parking brake that auto matically returns to normal height after application, a new clutch linkage that filters out even the smallest engine impulses more effectively than ever and a trim new two-toning motif that’s avail able on all 16 fresh-minted models. But, impressive as all this may look in print, there’s really only one way to tell how near to perfection this superlative ’60 Chevrolet actually comes — and that’s to drop in on your dealer and drive one!
