*HPfl THURSDAY, NOV. 17, 1960 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA Miss Feis Leads Senn Succumbs Music Program On Saturday The life and music of Gabriel Faure was the subject of the New berry Music Club program last week. The club met at the home of Mrs. J. P. Moon, and Miss Carolyn Feis from the Newberry College faculty was the program leader. Gabriel Faure’s music, it is of ten said, is the embodiment in sound of French civilization. It is his use of harmonies and progres sions that make his style an in fluence on later twentieth century music. While Faure is not a musi- i cal gaint, all of his music merits performance and within the last twenty years is being performed more and more. Following a discussion of the composer’s life and works Miss Feis sang Faure’s “After a Dream”. She was accompanied at the piano by Prof. Darr Wise. “Introit” and “Kyrie” and “In Paradisum” were presented from a recording of the composer’s “Requiem Mass”, and the program was concluded with the perform ance by Miss Feis an' ’rof. Wise of Faure’s “Dolly Sui -s”. This suite is a group of six short com positions for four hands and was written for a friend of the com poser’s family. The Music Club meeting was presided over by the president, Mrs. Pinckney Abrams. Mrs. Mar vin Rucker presented the hymn of the month, “Praise To The Lord”. The text of the hymn was paraphrased from Psalms 103 and 150 by Joachim Neander, a Ger man poet, and set to a tune prob ably based on a traditional folk song. Hostesses for the meeting were Mrs. W. S. Hentz, Mr. and Mrs. Hope Wilson and Bill Fields. John William Senn, 85, died Sat urday afternoon at his home on Rt. 3, Newberry, after an illness of the past five years.

Many historians doubt it, but legend persists that the 18-year old girl was captured at Friday’s Ferry (present-day Columbia), and was released when she ate the written message be fore it was discovered. She is then said to have reached Sumter, to whom she repeated Greene’s plea for help.

The b everoge of moderation AMERICA’S COMPETITIVE STRUGGLE One day recently the owner of a small hardware store in the out skirts of Cleveland drove his pick up truck to a warehouse in the big city’s wholesale district. He want ed to buy 50. spools of barbed fare. On the loading platform he saw two stacks of barbed wire, one stack with several hundred spools, the other with only eight or ten. He approached the big stack of barbed wire. A shipping label showed that it had been manufac tured in Dusseldorf, Germany. The small stack showed the brand name of a leading Cleveland steel mill. The store owner examined the imported and the home-produced barbed wire. The quality was id entical. Only the price was differ ent. The barbed wire made in Dus seldorf was $40 a ton cheaper than the Cleveland product; 20 per cent less per spool. The hard ware merchant was amazed. He knew that the Dusseldorf barbed wire had traveled more than 3,000 miles. He shook his head in dis belief—and bought 50 spools ol barbed wire made in Duseldorf, Germany. Thousands of Products This episode'could be duplicated in many American warehouses and stores. Cameras made in Japan and Germany, transistor radios and other electronic equipment manufactured abroad, plywood, men’s and women’s clothing, type writers, chinaware, and an un ending list of products made in foreign countries.' are jamming the showroom floors and shelves all over America. And they are tak ing away business from American manufacturers who cannot meet the price competition. A midwestern company which has been in business for 58 years making fencing nails and wire, closed down one plant primarily because of its inability to meet foreign competition. Another steel mill which used to ship 25,000 tons of barbed wire sold only 220 tons in 1958. To the employees of these mills, foreign competition is a very real and pressing prob lem. ~ Exporting Jobs Not only are the foreign-made products taking away b isiness in the domestic American market, they are taking away business in the world market. The most sig nificant fact is that we are ex porting jobs. It is simple arithme tic: when foreign-made goods are bought by Americans we are sup porting and creating jobs in for eign countries; and when Ameri can-made goods are left on the snelves because of their high prices, we are destroying jobs here in America. Our basic trouble is that rising labor costs in America^have push ed up prices so that our American jjjfoods are being priced out of the markets. There are other factors involved, but this is the big one. America’s rising industrial pro ductivity has not been passed along to reduce prices of our prod ucts. And yet, in Europe, Japan and some Asian nations competi tive products are being made at much lower cost—so much lower that they can be shipped across oceans and still sold, at good prof it; at considerably lower prices than the American product. Teamwork Needed In recent months I have talked to many leading manufacturers about this problem. It is actually threatening the whole American enterprise system. These manu facturers tell me that we can catch up with foreign competition in a few years if production costs can be held in line. They have showed me their profit statements. On the average, American manu facturers are making less than six per cent profit on each sales dol lar. If all this profit were to be cut out, many foreign-made prod ucts would still sell 15 to 20 per cent cheaper than American-made. So profits are not causing the dif ficulty. The solution to this problem which is jeopardizing the jobs of millions of Americans—ard ac tually endangering the economic security of all of us—is for or ganized labor to take a clear, long-range view of what’s hap pening, and then pitch in with our industrial management to re gain our lost position in the world markets. Everybody’s economic welfare then would gradually im prove and we would overcome a grave danger to our whole eco nomic system. Yes, genuine coop eration, with elimination of feath er-bedding, without any cut in wages, and without longer hours. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Thompson have moved to 1000 Boundary St. in one of the D. O.
