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-

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.

Detroit, Michigan
In Detroit, Michigan, you can watch your favorite car being built on
the assembly line, take a ten minute walk or a 15c bus ride to foreign
soil, or visit world famous museums and playgrounds.
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.

& 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!
