Tough Schedule Ahead
During the Congressional ad
journment period I have been pre
paring material for two of the
initial legislative battles which
will probably come before the Con
gress next year. A few days be
fore we adjourned on September
15, the groundwork was laid for
early action next year on the con
troversial issues of so-called civil
rights and federal aid to educa
tion for school construction. A
band of rabid integrationists was
able to obtain from the leaders of
both parties in the Senate agree
ments on their part to call up for
Senate consideration on or
shortly after February 15, 1960,
a so-called civil rights bill. Al
most simultaneously the Senate
Labor Committee reported to the
Senate calendar a federal aid bill
authorizing the expenditure of
$500 million annually for a two-
year school construction program.
‘Civil Rights’
The integrationists have been
preparing for the 1960 battle over
what they term civil rights for
some time. They had hoped to
force a major showdown over the
issue during the past session, but
they were unable to do so. In
cluded in their arsenal of so-called
civil rights weapons with which to
lash the South are vicious pro
posals to force mixing of the races
through an integration czar in the
person of the U. S. Attorney Gen
eral, federal aid bribery, or any
other obtainable means—regard
less of whether they be logical or
constitutional.
I hope the fight can be averted
because of its many adverse rami
fications, particularly that of di
viding our people of this nation
during a time when unity is so
anyway, I will be fully prepared
to use every means at my com
mand to defeat legislation which
would make of our Southland a
conquered province similar to that
which existed during Reconstruc
tion days.
Federal Aid
The limitations of two years in
the federal aid bill is merely a
“foot-in-the-door” gimmick. Many
Federal Government programs
have been passed initially with a
cutoff date in order to get the
programs started, but very few
have ever found their way to the
graveyard where many of them
deserve to rest in peace. It is dif
ficult to wean special interest
groups off federal handouts, and
it is an even more insurmountable
task to abolish the agencies be
cause of the tight grip which the
bureaucratic jobholders exert in
holding onto their positions
I am opposed to general federal
aid to education because it is un
constitutional, unwise, unneces
sary, and uneconomical.
Fiscal Policy
Another major issue which will
be with us during the entire next
session will be that of fiscal res
ponsibility. We were successful
this year in holding appropriation
bills and “backdoor” spending to
within the overall balanced budget
figure submitted by the President.
Next year those of us w r ho believe
in a sound government financial
program will have to hold down
supplemental or deficiency spend
ing requests so as not to unbal
ance our budget we voted for the
current fiscal year. In addition,
we will have to be on guard
against the numerous spending
schemes which wdll surely be de
vised and offered in the 1960
vitally needed. Should it come presidential election year. Special
Save Chicken Feed
Our poultry specialist, l J . H.
Gooding, points out that a lot of
poultry feed can be saved by not
filling the feeders too full.
Checking on this, the Univer
sity of Colorado found that almost
half of the feed was wasted where
the feeders were filled brimful.
Where they were filled only two-
thirds full, the wastage was re
duced to 15 percent, half full 5
percent, and when filled only one
third full the wastage was only
2 percent.
To take advantage of this will
take a little more labor and more
feeders. But the feed saved will
more than pay for this. Feed is
the big item in poultry produc
tion and the poultryman can’t af
ford to overlook a saving of this
magnitude.
Meat Animals Here
Even though we have made
great progress in recent years
from crop farming to diversifica
tion, with crops plus livestock, we
still have pretty far to go with
the latter before we are anything
like self-sustaining. Dean Farrar
of Clemson tells me that a survey
of our meat packers shows that
they are getting only about 30
percent of their hogs and 45 per
cent of their beef animals from
within the state.
Of course, some of our hogs and
cattle are shipped out alive. But
even with that, our production of
interest groups which received
little satisfaction from the tight-
fisted spending policies of the past
session—compared to the 13 bil-
lion-dollar deficit of fiscal year
1959—will be back knocking at
the door for more taxpayer dol
lars.
With many other such issues
staring 1 us in the face, it will be
a tough session for those of us
who believe in government econ
omy, States Rights, and constitu
tional government.
these two items still falls rather
far short of our needs.
We have packing plants in all
parts of the state that are putting
out finished meat products second
to’ none, and local markets for
livestock in rather easy reach of
every farm. It has not always been
so. All of this, and being right in
the midst of our consumers, sure
ly points to a place for more live
stock on* our farms. And it ap
pears they are coming, as we
perfect our know-how and im
prove our feed production.
Controlling Pond Weeds
Assistant County Agent Mont
gomery of Kershaw reports, “The
four demonstrations of farm pond
weed control using Weep Rhap
and Kuron the past season gave
excellent results.”
Weeds are a growing problem
in the many ponds we are build
ing. Science is making a determin
ed fight against them. Our man
Sam Williams tells me that Weed
Rhap is a pelleted material that
costs about $30 per acre, but is
supposed to last about two and a
half years. The other one, Kuron,
is a liquid, costs less, but only
kills the current crop of weeds.
If weeds are bothering in your
pond, you can get the details for
fighting them next spring from
your local county agent.
Community Clubs in Pickens
With cars, good roads, radio,
television, and the like many com
munities do not have the unity
thay used to. But efforts are be
ing made in most counties to
build back the old community
spirit and interest that used to
mean so much. For they feel the
need for it in their everyday liv
ing.
With the organization, of their
Twelve Mile Community back in
the summer, County Agent Wood
of Pickens tells me they now have
8 such community organizations
functioning.

1960 Solid Plymouth Offers
Economy In 24 Model Lineup
The 1960 Plymouth is the strongest, quietest, fastest
accelerating, and most economical operating car in
Plymouth's history. It features unified body and frame
structure and completely new styling for this economy
champion.
-president of Chrysler Cor-
iocks all doors when the engine is
started.
LAFF OF THE WEEK
Harry E. Chesebrough, vice
poration and general manager of
the Plymouth - De Soto -Valiant
Division, says the 1960 Plymouth
"creates new standards for its
price class on any basis on which
you can compare automobiles.”
Plymouth’s styling and sturdy
construction, Chesebrough said,
"should have special appeal to
people whose basic interest is in
solid value.”
ENGINES
Two completely new engines
are added in the 1960 Plymouth
line of six engines, each of uniquely
different design and each devel
oped to fulfill a specific require
ment. The 30-D Economy Six
with 145 horse power is introduced
for drivers who require maximum
fuel savings. The SonoRamic Com
mando V-8 with 330 horsepower,
which brings ram induction to
passenger cars for the first time,
is primarily a "performance”
engine with outstanding accelera
tion characteristics.
UNIBODY CONSTRUCTION
For 1960, the Plymouth body
and frame are integrated into a
single, unified structure, locked
together by more than 5,000 welds.
The design affords many advan
tages in terms of both strength
and space efficiency. The cars are
easier to get into and out of, and
seat heights have been raised for
more comfort. The absence of
connecting bolts and braces not
only lends strength but eliminates
rattles.
TRANSMISSIONS
Plymouth offers four trans
missions, two manual transmis
sions and a PowerFlite and a
TorqueFlite push button trans
mission.
NEW SAFETY FEATURES
There is an imposing list of
other features which Plymouth is
introducing for I960.
One of the outstanding safety
devices to be developed in years
is the new Safe-T-Matic Door
Lock system, which automatically
Another valuable safety feature
is the four-light emergency warn
ing flasher system. Whenever a
car must be stopped on a high
way, a flick of an instrument
panel switch starts all front and
rear turn indicator signals flashing
continuously and simultaneously
as a warning to other drivers.
AUTOMATIC SWIVEL SEATS
Swivel seats, introduced by
Plymouth last year, are auto
matic for 1960. Optional on Fury
and Sport Suburban models, the
new seat swings out to meet you
when the door is opened, and it
swings back out of the way when
the door is closed.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Boys Are That Way
Each fall and spring I like
to go back again for a while and
walk the hallowed ‘ paths of
childhood.
I did that of late.
In every stone there was a
story. On every hill a happy
recollection. And each path,
hedge, gully, and ancient tree
brought memories that were
dear. Thick and fast they came,
as I started out, down through
the pear orchard, where some of
the gnarled trees have defied
both blight and time, and still
yield their goodly harvest.
And on down below the pas
ture, the spring had long since
dried up, and its depression was
marked by the sweetgums its
moisture had induced to come
back before my time. The branch
it fed, and in which we spent
happy hours on end, was now
but a dry depression through the
valley, and its once turbulent
bottom was now covered with a
soft mattress of pine needles.
Change, change, the constancy
of change?
There through the woods,
where the rail fence went, I
could still discern its winding
trail, by the cedars that grew
in its corners from seeds the
birds dropped. Along its once
fresh gnawed rails we had reap
ed a harvest of rabbits and an
occasional ’possum in our traps
almost a half century ago.
On up the steep and rocky
ridge I walked to where our
