Womans Club
Hears Talk
About Brazil
The January meeting of the
Womans Club was held at the
home of Miss Julia Kibler. Paper
white narcissus and camellias
adorned the reception room where
the members assembled.
Mrs. A. J. Briggs, presidenc,
called the meeting to order and
the club collect was read in unison
►as a prayer.
The club was grateful for the in
vitation to attend the Reciprocity
meeting of the Literary «Study
Club on January 17 at the Com
munity Hall. Also, the club is in
vited to attend a dutch luncheon
at the Wade Hampton Hotel in
Columbia on January 25, given by
the Board of Directors of the
•South Carolina Federation of
Womens Clubs. These invitations
were accepted with pleasure.
Before introducing the speak '
the program chairman, Miss Jv.lia
Kibler, briefly reviewed rf the sub
ject of study for the year, “Latin
•America’^ bringing the club to
date on the vast importance of this
area and its close connection to
this country.
The leader for the afternoon,
Mrs. Lillian Guenther, most ably
and enthusiastically brought to
the club an effective lecture on
Brazil. Her staggering Biblio
graphy and various visual aids
showed the amount of time and
effort she had spent in preparation
of the subject.
Among the points she brought
out were:
“Brazil is a land of color and
culture. The population is divided
into Indian, Caucasian, Negro and
Asiatic races. In the annual car
nival can be seen the reflection of
the colorful customs and culture.
“The many attractions are Copa-
cabana Beach, famous Sugarloaf
Mountain, the figure of Christ the
Redeemer, patterned mosiac side
walks and gracious old churches
with their gold leaf altars.
“Brazil’s liberal and progres
sive constitution provides • for the
separation of power among three
branches of government. Brazil
has a president who is assisted by
a cabinet of ten ministers whom
he appoints.
“The national economy of Bra
zil is largely dependent upon its
export trade in agricultural and
forest products. The country is
still dependent upon imports for
machinery, vehicles, fuels, indus
trial chemicals, pharmaceuticals
and wheat.”
At the conclusion of the pro
gram the members entered into a
lively* discussion of the subject.
All agreed that the study this
year has beer, most informative,
timely and stimulating.
Mrs. Guenther' was thanked for
her splendid program.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Martin
are now making their home at
1615 Pope Terrace.

Looking A head
... by Dr. George S. Benton
PRESIDENT—NATIONAL
EDUCATION PROGRAM
Searcy, Afkintes
Labor and Inflation
Some light is thrown upon the
actual rather than the fancied re
lationship of labor to the inflation
spiral by Dr. Melchior Palyi in his
“An Inflation Primer” (Chicago:
Henry Regnery Company,* $4).
Discussing the causes of our vis-
cious spirals, he declares that the
monopoly power of labor (s really
not the decisive force that sends
labor costs toward the stratos
phere. In this the economist is
looking for causes.
He suspects that “rising labor
costs are not the ultimate cause
of the inflationary drift.” He does
not deny that rising costs of labor
have an important influence on
prices and that labor is the chief
ingredient in’ these costs. A cost-
price spiral can result, so he in
dicates, from wage increases that
outreach the gains of productivity
and thus push up prices. But, in
asking WHY labor costs go up.
Dr. Palyi is looking for causes.
Artificial Expansion
Probing more deeply, he finds
where the causes lie. He asks:
“Just how high could the general
level of wages—not just individ
ual industries—go in face of con
sumer resistence to higher pripes,
if people’s pocketbooks were not
replenished again and again by
fresh money shots-in-the-arm?”
Answering, he explains that the
“magic circle” would break at the
highest hurdle, the consumer’s ab
ility to pay, were it not for the
government artifically keeping all
incomes continually expanding.
“If consumer incomes falter,” he
continues, “the government steps
in by disbursing funds or guaran
tees for public works, public hous
ing, road building, farm subsidies,
commodity stockpiling, foreign aid,
mortgage credits, social security,
and many other welfare objec
tives. the Open and concealed
subsidies, handouts, and ‘contra-
cyclical’ financial contraptions
come, out of the taxpayer’s pockets,
supplemented and supported by
debt monetization, thus setting
bank credit on the expansion road.
That does it.”
Pressure Applied
Other pressure groups also pull
the inflationaify strings (some
while preaching free enterprise),
but Dr. Palyi considers unions
“the prime moving and - lobbying
force behind the official spending
and money manipuffiting policies
which result in overfull employ
ment and labor shortage.” Infla
tion is thus produced by the com
bined efforts to pressure groups
in and out of Congress.
But organized labor, as the na
tion’s strongest pressure group,
“uses ruthlessly the vote com
manding power of a super organi
zation, plus the influence provided
by the multi-million dollars o f
members’ dues at the bosses’ free
disposal. The worker’s interest is
lower product prices, steady em
ployment at good pay, ntore sav
ings to finance work opportuni
ties, all of which is negated in the
long run by union policies.”
Riding The Crest
Dr. Palyi considers it question-
able whether
iuctivity, as m
i .. pjiyuuuuivjvj,
some escalator clauses, can be
used as an excuse for, wtge de
mands. Too often this argument
(it is difficult enough, he says, to
decide what productivity is} a-
mounts only to “a rationalization
to Surround labors inflation-borne
power of coercion with a halo of
economic (and ethical t) sanctity.”
At any rate, he shows that .such
increases have nothing In common
with true incentive wages and
that wage boosts actually have
had little economic relation t o
“productivity.”
“The unions not only generate
the inflation through political ac
tion, but they also carry the vir
us . and accelerate its spread. Since
the 1930s generating, currying,
and accelerating the inflation
seems to be their outstanding
functions in the whole industrial
world. The technique is the same
almost everywhere: the use of
their inflation-borne, unchecked
power to extort monopolistic re
sults.” Congress, so far, has been
willing to go along. No adminis
tration dares turn the tide.

Derrill Longshore of the New
berry Tractor Company recently
returned from a leaders training
clinic-on tractor and farm machin
ery operation at Spartanburg. He
said the clinic, with a theme of
“Care—not repair,” stressed that
repair of modern tractors should
be left up to trained mechanics
who have the precision instruments
that are needed.
“Instead, I learned much at the
clinic that will help club members
operate a tractor better, make it
last longer, and perhaps save as
much as $300 in one year,” Long-
snqre declared.
“One thing we learned is that
the average tractor operator loses
lot of money every year tnrough
improper carburetor adjustment,”
he added.
In the first part of the local
program members will give dem-
onsirations on safety, the opera
tor’s manuel, air cleaner service,
cooling system and others. Later
members will have experience with
the care, adjusting and operation
of farm implements.
The first meeting will be held

Linda Discards Braces, Crutches;
Mother Praises March of Dimes
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Dorothy E. Breese,
young Columbus, Ohio, mother, tells of
the remarkable progress made by her
daughter in overcoming the disability
caused by a severe birth defect.)
By DOROTHY E. BREESE
My little Linda has done
far more things in her five
years than most people even
dream of being able to do in
an entire lifetime.
As the March of Dimes 1961
National Poster Child, she met
President Kennedy in person
and rode on a float in his in
auguration parade. She starred
in an hour-long television pro
gram with some of the coun
try’s most popular television
and movie stars.
Linda has traveled from
coast to coast and seen her pic
ture in nearly every newspa
per printed. She has autograph
books filled with the signatures
of celebrities and famous peo
ple she has visited.
These are just some of the
things Linda has done that are
beyond the reach of most of us.
But the one thing we wanted
most for her was something the
average person takes for
granted—the ability to walk
alone and unaided.
There were many times dur
ing the years that my husband.
Dean, and I thought that Linda
would never be able to throw
away her braces and crutches.
And to be truthful, there were
terrifying moments when we
feared we might even lose her.
Linda was bom with an
opening in her spinal column,
a condition known medically
as spina bifida. As a result, her
body was seriously affected
from the waist down.
When she was only a few
hours old, Linda underwent a
delicate operation that partial
ly corrected this condition. The
suigery was performed at Chil
dren’s Hospital in Columbus
where subsequently The Na
tional Foundation with March
of Dimes funds established the
first of its Birth Defects Clini
cal Study Centers in 1959.
When she was nine months
old, it was found that Linda
had water on the brain, which
has the medical name of hydro
cephalus. This condition was
Linda at 23 months after two
operations for birth defects.
And . . .
treated by the insertion of a
“shunt” tube which drains the
excess fluid from the head into
tfye blood stream. ,
You can imagine how much
we worried about our little girl
in those early days, because
we knew she was never far
from death. It could have come
at any time. After all, 250,000
infants are born in this coun
try each year with a significant
birth defect and 21,000 of them
die.
But Linda continued to im
prove. She received specialized
treatment at the March of
Dimes - supported center. She
got her log braces and crutches.
Linda hated them, but she
learned to use them.
When, though — if ever —
would she be able to run and
play with her sister and two
older brothers and the other
neighborhood children?
Tne answer to that question
depended on Linda, her doc
tor., the rehabilitation thera
pist?, and us. We • all worked
together. We worked l*ng, and
we worked hard, but it was
worth it.
• •. Linda today, now ablo to
walk withoot hor crutches or
leg brocos.
Only the other day, Linda
took her, first halting steps
across our living room without
her crutches or leg braces. It
was an unforgettable experi
ence. In my excitement, I tele
phoned the good news to every
one I knew—and probably
quite a few I didn’t know. It
was a real shout-from-the-
housetops event.
Linda has won through. She
improves every day. Now her
trips, to the birth defects cen
ter have been cut to jiist.one
every three months. Best of
all—we have been able to en
roll her in kindergarten.
Dean and I and the children
remember the gloomy days. We
know that many other parents
of afflicted children are going
through similar days of anxiety
and heartbreak right now. But
we also know that The Na
tional Foundation-March of
Dimes is looking for the cause
and cure of birth defects.
March of Dimes contributions
led to the triumph over polio,
and I’m a firm believer in the
slogan that “Your Dimes Will
Do It Again.”
