OUR ffEW HOME
^SytiiNS, G4*—Well, here we
are j^ v die "City of Sin.” Did you
Jcnow that Athens had recently
been given th^t titled seems that
Jack Nelson, Pulitzer Prize winn
ing reporter for the Atlanta Con-
atitution, came over here and
found what he called “organized
vice.” From what I can remember
■of Atlanta, Mr. Nelson could have
:found a more fertile field for his
reportorial, investigative talents
in his own back yard, but then
4hat would not have been as sen
sational as uncovering “vice” at
the home of the University of Ge
orgia.
The neighborhood in which we
Jhave our temporary home shows no
fgign of being guilty of such accu
sations. It is a beautiful neighbor
hood—beautiful homes on large,
shady lots; pretty green lawns and
flowers. It is quiet—perhaps too
quiet for the girls. I haven’t seen
another child their age in the
week we’ve been here. Most of
Athen’s children seem to be locat
ed in the pre-fab apartments for
married students at the Univer
sity.
The house in which we are stay
ing was, I understand, built by
Coach Wally Butts. I assume he
either had a large family or built
tike house with a view to sleeping
Ids entire football team, if necess
ary. In the basement there is a
large recreation room which could
accommodate some 15 or 20 cots.
Then there are three bedrooms on
the ground level, and three in the
balf*story upstairs. The girls have
thoroughly enjoyed investigating
it from top to bottom.
The University swimming pool,
beautiful though it is, turned out
to be a disappointment. At the
most shallow part, Connie must
-stand on tiptoes to keep her head
above water, and of course Ruthie
can’t manage it at all. Across the
street from there is the municipal
pool, which looks more promising,
but we decided /to try , a private,
lain'. This turned but to be the ans
wer. There is a large sandy beach
at the lake and the water is shall
ow for quite a distance from the
shore, then roped off at the deep
part. Here the girls can sit at the
edge of the water and paddle and
play in the sand. Across the lake
from the beach is a picnic area
with facilities for cooking indoors
or out. In the event of rain (and
we ran into a downpour the day
we were there) there is a beauti
ful screened-in cabin, with large
open fireplace, a stove, refrigera
tor, rest rooms with showers.
We haven’t done too much
sight-seeing at the University, but
we did go through several of the
new buildings at the Science Cen
ter. These are modern in every
way, air-conditioned, and in the
process of being beautifully land
scaped. In the center lobby of the
Math and Geology building is
something which greatly interested
the girls, and me too. It is a world
globe, six feet, 3 inches in dia
meter. Much of the trim in these
buildings is marble. Outside, trees
seven or eight feet high have been
planted.
We also discovered Athens Mem
orial Park, which has a small zoo.
The girls were delighted to see a
black bear cub climbing a tree, a
little monkey swinging in a swing
inside his cage, and the other ani
mals. They were amazed at the
colors and size of a peacock which
wandered around the zoo area.
The girls have been busy picture
taking, and if they come up with
something interesting, we’ll pub
lish it in the future.
One more note before ending for
this week. I thought you would be
interested in the following editor
ial I found in the Atlanta Journal
a few days ago, entitled “Let’s
Get Moving:”
“South Carolina is letting con
tracts for the bridge across the
Tugaloo River that will bring the
four-lane Interstate Federal High
way Number 85 into Georgia.
“Which reminds us that the
same highway reaches out from
Atlanta only as far as Suwannee,
and that its route from that point
to the South Carolina line has been
a matter of debate, acrimony and
politics for some time.

and this amount each year
brought into Newberry County by
the sale of milk and cattle from
our dairy farms. < '
“But I don’t own a dairy farm,”
some will say. All right, but
chances are you still benefit di
rectly from the dairy industry in
our area. Dairy farmers must
each year buy seed* feed and fer
tilizers along with many differ
ent items of farm machinery and
equipment Probably no otner
group buys such a wide range of
materials as is needed for running
a dairy farm. Therefore. the dairy
fanners’ dollars get spread
pretty well around.
Still not t interested in June
Dairy Month? Hold on just a min
ute. You Still eat, don’t you ? Then
dairying or the use of dairy prod
ucts does concern you. It would
be hard to imagine a diet that
did not' include any wholesome
dairy products such as milk, , but

cream or
foods.
Yes sir, we owe quite a lot to

In the Russian revolution, mil-
m-
m:
Remember the game "I spy” (or
•‘hide and seek”) ? It was the fav
orite game of my generation. I’m
delighted to learn that it still it.
Until our U-2 got caught spying
on Russia, I was afraid that the
coexistence-brotherhood jag our
leaders have been indulging them
selves in, might have led to can
celling our spying activities. Can
you imagine Khruschev running
back to home base screaming,
"One, two, three for the American
spy in our sky?” Brings back the
olden days. Also brings back into
sharp focus my recent trip to
Russia ,where our party was spied
on relentlessly.
In Russia, special floors are re
served in some hotels to house the
Secret Police who are in charge
of Room Service. They “service”
each room with hidden micro
phones, to record conversations
and telephone calls. And their
"maid service” includes sending
photo equipment to your room
.(while you’re out and won’t be
bothered) to photograph the pap
ers in your bag and provide other
aihall services, for which no tip-
ping is expected.
The Russian Security Police
have a habit, we were told, of slip
ping into the rooms of visiting
editors—and others—to examine
all film. Any pictures found to be
non-flattering, are exposed and
carefully pul back in place. The
photographer for one of our lead
ing weekly newsmagazines made
frequent trips to the airport to
his film in the safe on our
Jane. He found evidence in
Moscow that his bag in his hotel
room had been opened.
V I spied on Russia, too. Checked
out Khruschev’s claim that Russia
would catch up with the U.S.A.,
economically, in seven years. Rus
sia, won’t catch Spain in seven
years.
. We saw the best collective
farms. They had to be. We drove
50 to 100 miles to get to each. The
people on the collectives don’t
lire af good as our plantation
< lions of peasants thought they
were fighting the Czars to get
their own little piece of land.
Ninety-five percent of Russian
farms are in state or collective
farms. Formed by uniting the
small farms of millions of Kulaks
little family farmers who owned
their land and were murdered (by
Khruschev and his crowd) in one
of history’s bloodiest purges after
the Communists came to power.
Much of the hard labor in Rus
sia is done by old women—or may
be they just look old. The work
ers in the field were almost all
women. Invariably, as we drove
by they would straighten up and
gaze at us—as if we were from
another world—Ayhich we were.
They probably hadn't seen a car
pass all day-—just bicycles, wag
ons, carts, pedestrians and trucks.
Trucks driven by their menfolk.
Trucks which looked very much
like U. S. Army surplus.
“Can we take pictures?” (This
was before thoy knew about our
U-2 pictures.)
“Certainly,” responded the
block of ice masquerading as a
woman interpreter - guide. “All
countries have their own security
regulations. Here, you can take
pictures of anything not connect
ed with defense.”
The next day we were driving
out to see a state farm, and one
of the editors asked this so-called
woman several times to stop the
car so he could take a picture. She
always refused. (The picture
would not have been flattering.)
Finally, when we were passing
through a village which looked
like those in a TV western, the
editor said, “I must stop here. I
have to go to the toilet.”
She paid no attention. A few
minutes later, when we were out
in the middle of nowhere, not a
building, animal, or piece of mach
inery in sight, she stopped the
car, pointed to a clump of bushes
aid said, “Alright, go!”
Some of our fellows referred to
her as the “Iron maid.” Maid was
not the right word.
The usual collective farm had
clusters of drab, primitive-looking
shacks surrounding several farm
buildings, groups of poorly dress
ed ,runny-nosed children and an
oversupply of workers about as
busy as a featherbedding fireman
on a diesel locomotive.
There are practically no fences
in the Soviet Union. The live
stock are herded mostly by wo
men. There are almost no beef
cattle in Russia. Steak, when you
can get it, comes from dairy
culls. Russia overtook America
last year in the total production
of milk, according to Russian
claims.
The Russians claim to have one
tractor to every 400 acres of ar
able land. We have one for every
90 acres. The new and proudly-
proclaimed sugar beet harvester
we saw in op n ation in the Uk
raine required that the w r omen
workers rehandle most beets. As
an ex-beet farmer, Secretary Ben
son commented privately that he
had better harvesters than than
25 years ago.
Moscow is full of slums, some
built before the war, and some
brand new. Most families live in
one room, share a community
kitchen and bath. In fair weath
er, the streets are full of people.
Because the streets are better than
home.
Red Square is the largest
“square” I’ve ever seen. Across
from it is the city’s one big de
partment store, ‘Gum.’ Hundreds
of people buying everything from
rugs to caviar. It was just like
Macy’s, 50 years ago. I went in
to buy a souvenir, but the^e were
no worthwhile dust-collectors.
Our guides, or keepers, saved
the Kremlin for last. It is huge,
and ugly. But, the museum is one
of the best in the world—chariots,
jewelry, works of art—bought,
received as gifts, and stolen by
the Czars and their Communist
successors. The palace of the

All-out efforts to keep South
Carolina highways free frpm ac

exerted by the Highway Patrol
over the Fourth of July holiday
period, Chief Highway Commis
sioner Claude R. McMillan baa
announced.
Every available law enforce

main roads leading to resort areas
will be patrolled in two shifts be

All highway patrolmen have
been instructed to remain alert,
and to apply sound, vigorous and
courteous enforcement of safety
laws, in efforts to make the high
ways safe for everyone.
A Newberry couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph Barre Baker, have es
tablished somewhat of a record in
never having missed a Ladies
Night of the Newberry Rotary
Chib in its forty years existence.
Mr. Baker, a charter member, has
served the club as president and
on various committees. “These reached a reco
years have held a deep, abiding
happiness and times of heart
breaking grief. Ladies Night has
always been a special night for us.
The members have been wonder
ful friends and in those trying
times we were grateful for their
understanding love and friend
ship,” said Mrs. Baker. She has
the distinction of having the long
est record in the club of a Rotary-
anne.
Mr. Baker is not the only mem
ber of his family to have a not
able record in Rotary. His father,
the late Kenneth Baker, who was
a prominent citizen and for many
years mayor of Greenwood, was a
charter member of the Greenwood
Club. The Baker’s son, Doctor
Ralph Parr Baker, a Newberry
surgeon, is an active member of
the Newberry Rotary Club, and
like his father, is also a past
president of the club and is active
on many committees. C. Walter
Summer, the Baker’s son-in-law,
is Newberry County’s only Certi
fied Public Accountant and is also
a local Rotary Club member.
Mr. 'Baker, in addition to being
present at all Ladies Night cele
brations, has an excellent attend
ance record pt all club meetings.
The couple recalls that during
the years when Mr. Baker was
engaged in the wholesale grocery
business it was difficult for him
to be present at . every meeting
due to the fact that he traveled
and oftpn was some distance away
but if possible, he would retrace
the distance to be present.
As a young man, Mr. Baker
achieved a remarkable record in
athletics. When he was ready to
enter college in 1912, he was so
I outstanding in athletics that ev
ery college in the state as well as
some out-of-state Colleges invit
ed him to enroll in their schools.
But, he chose Newbdrry College
since his father was a member of
the Board of Trustees. It was
while a member of the Indian
squad that his glory as an athlete
thjjrf has not been
equalled in the state and perhaps
never .will. In 19^8 .through 1916,1
he made all-statO/ili football two
years; all-state in basketball three
years; and all-stato in baseball
four years. During those days
where no platoon systems were in
existence, Mr. Baker had the en
durance to carry him through. In
addition to endurance, 4 Vhe was
punctual, that same trait that has
made him successful in business
and retirement. Hia outstanding
record while at Newberry College
stands out in his latter achieve
ments. In baseball, he earned his
letters in each of the four years,
never missing an inning of play at
either second base or shortstop,
and having a batting average of
.325. In football, he earned let
ters in each of three years, miss
ing only one game which was
against the University of Georgia.
He played right half and did not

participate an intercollegiate
