"Wieland (the subject of a recent exchange at a Presiden tial press conference), the na tion’s foreign service is seriously handicapped in looking after our best interests in international af fairs. This pro-Castro “specialist” in Latin American affairs has been described by several ambassadors in previous Congressional investi gations as working for policies detrimental to the best interests of the nation, He, along with any others of similar attitudes, should be the subject of new inquiries by the Congress. If men like this are going to be employed in handling our Latin- American problems, then we cer tainly may expect trouble and confusion in the years ahead. The Alliance for Progress, a program of economic aid to our neighbors below the border, for example, is going to require the most expert administration lest in the long run it foul up our relationships in this hemisphere. More ambitious even than the Marshall plan, this pro gram proposes to supply long term loans at little or no interest to lift our Southern neighbors up the economic ladder. Push Toward Socialism Central and South Amercia have vast resources and potential, yet poverty and squalor are wide spread. There is no quarrel with the idealism of those who pro jected the program. But we may have committed ourselves to a program having serious flaws in it. First of all, various long-aw aited reforms in Latin America can be hardly wrought suddenly by outsiders. Internal problems in the various nations will not be solved except through internal action. In the next place, reforms for which we offer our tax money are vaguely referred to as govern ment “planning,” “land reform,” “redistribution” of income”, and welfare “housing.” Generally these policies are urged upon the governments of the countries, with money promised for action. This appears to mean that the United States is pushing Latin America still further toward soc ialism and the welfare state. Why must we do this? Sell Them Enterprise Very little is said at Punta del Este th&t would encourage our Latin neighbors to pursue free dom of enterprise, the principle that has most helped this nation become strong economically. In stead of urging the Latins to re move stifling controls, safeguard private property, reduce govern ment extravagance, lower taxes, balance national budgets and curb inflation, we offer doles from the American taxpayer that are used to support socialistic measures. We do little, apparently, to dis courage them from driving away the foreign investments that they need desperately. Actually, the most effective help we can provide our neigh bors (if we keep our balance of payments inline) is private in vestment capital. Private invest ment already accounts for about $9 billion invested from the U. S. in Latin countries so far, and it would undoubtedly be greater were it not for fear of the seiz ures and expropriations of proper ty that have so often been exper ienced. The very socialist meas ures we encourage tend to scare off foreign capital that might otherwise seek opportunities there. Work and Profit Instead, we offer government, tax-raised money to be admins- tered through their govermnents for products and services, which they often sell to their citizens and keep the money. The Latins, like the people of certain other foreign countries, use resources of this nature to support their More Parties In Honor Of Miss Nichols Parties in honor of Miss Moriat Nichols, who is to be married on April 7th, have been given during the past week. On March 20, Mrs. J. fc. French, Mrs .Aubrey Harley and Mrs. William Hunter entertained with a linen shower. Miss Nichols was presented a pink camellia corsage. Refreshments of assorted sand wiches, petit fours, bell and heart shaped cookies, mints, nuts and lime punch were served from the dining table which was covered with a lace cloth. The centerpiece was an arrangement of white flowering peach and other spring flowers in a silver bowl, flanked by pink candles in silver candel- ebra. Gifts were presented the bride-elect in a clothes hamper, the gift of the hostesses. Mrs. John R. Fazier and Mrs. John B. Lindsay were hostesses at a luncheon for Miss Nichols at the Wallace Home on March 21st. Places were laid for 15 guests. The tables were attractive with daffodils and other spring flowers used as decorations. Miss Nichols was presented a nosegay of purple violets, and a platter in her dinnerware as a gift from the hostesses. On the same afternoon, a drop- in honoring the popular bride-elect was held at the Community Hall with Mrs. Harold Bowers, Mrs. Richard Neel Jr. and Mrs.” Richard Neel III, hostesses. The table, from which refresh ments were served, was covered with a lace cloth, centered with an arrangement of pink and white gladioli, with pink tapers in silver holders on either side. The hostess es presented the honor guest a brass wall plaque. Chicken salad in puffs, sand wiches, cheese straws, nuts and cake were served with soft drinks. Another party in honor of Miss Nichols was held March 23 at the home of Mrs. Duncan Johnson Jr. Co hostess was Mrs. J. J. Chap pell. Miss Nichols was given a pink camellia corsage and Barbara Da vis, another bride-elect, was re membered with a nosegay of vio lets. Spring flowers were used thru- out the room, with an arrange ment of white daffodils centering the dining table. Adding to the at tractiveness of the refreshment table were the lace cloth with which it was covered, and white glowing tapers. The hostesses served assorted sandwiches, cheese biscuits, nuts, mints and cake with soft drinks. The gift from the hostesses was a silver bread tray.

One wonders how many Wielands we shall have in the vast structure that adminis ters the $20 billion promised the Alliance for Progress. One may also wonder about the Latin friendships these man may have, and about their seriousness of pur pose with respect to the long range best interests of the Am erican people. What is it that can remove di sease, poverty and illiteracy from nations that are economically backward, and at the same time thwart Communism? -The only remedy is work and profit, which results in funds for reinvestment and for tools. If our Latin neigh bors are to raise living standards and retain personal freedoms, they must reject all forms of collecti vist regimentation. The most ser ious question before us is wheth er men in Washington, like Wil liam A. Wieland, realize this.

Layton, Fri day called on all employers of Newberry to put the assets of youth to work in their firms. His appeal was made in a proc lamation endorsing the nationwide Jobs for Youth drive being press ed locally by the Newberry office of the South Carolina State Em ployment Service. Governor Rol lings has also given his support to the drive. Noting that employers face a growing shortage of qualified workers in the prime age groups, particularly in demand occupa tions, Mayor Layton urged em ployers to tap the reservoir of job-hunting out-of-achool youth. He pointed ou; that young people possess the qualities needed by ev ery firm: a fresh outlook, ability to learn qu-ckly and eagerness to do the job well. Slogan of the campaign is “Put Youth on a Job—Today’s Invest ment, Tomorrow’s Profit.” “I call upon all local employers to fill existing trainee and other beginner job openings now and to make ready to fill the developing gaps in their work force by hiring trainable youth now. I also urge that employers avail themselves of the know-how of the State Em ployment Service in matching the skills and aptitudes of young be ginners with their job openings.” The proclamation follows: Whereas, young people are our single most important asset, and Whereas, there are approxim- mately 50 out-of-school young people looking for useful, produc tive work in Newberry, and Whereas, employers face a growing shortage of qualified workers in the prime age groups, particularly in demand occupa tions, and Whereas, the fresh outlook of youth, ability to learn quickly and eagerness to do a job well make them valued workers in any firm, and Whereas, a nationwide drive, un der the slogan “Put Youth on a Job—Today’s Investment, Tomor row’s Profit,” has been launched to encourage hiring of young workers, and Whereas, this youth job .drive has been endorsed by the Governor of South Carolina. Now, Therefore, I, Ernest H. Layton, Mayor of the City of New berry, do also endorse the drive to “Put Youth on a Job” and call upon all local employers to fill existing trainee and other begin ners’ job openings now and to By COUNTY AGENTS Long Live the King Cotton for many years known as King of the crops grown in South Carolina and throughout the south land is still a good money crop. Indications are that the acreage that will be planted in 1962 will be higher than last year. Here in Newberry County there are 927 farmers with cotton allotments and they may plant 6,715 acres. A total of 2,136 acres were turned in to the County ASCS office. This acreage to be reapportioned to farmers desiring more cotton acres or to be turned back to the State ASCS office. Out of the acreage turned back to the county office there were 120 farms that requested and received a total of 748 additional acres of cotton. The above information is good but many cottin growers don’t take seriously the importance of preventing losses from cotton di seases. They just assume that part of their planting is expected to die and attribute this loss to ad verse weather, insects, fertilizer burn and “sore shin.” Well, why do cotton seedlings die? Seed rotting, killing of young plants in the soil, and injury of the soil are caused by fungi or bac teria which may be already in the young plants near the surface of soil or be brought into the field on the seed to be planted. Many of these fungi and bacteria may live over winter on the remains of last years cotton crop. Wet cold soil favors the development of seedling diseases largely because they retard seed germination and seedling growth. What can the farmer do to pre vent such losses? Seedling losses may be greatly reduced by prac ticing crop rotation. If possible plant cotton cn the same land once every three years. Select fertile and well drained land and wait until the soil has warmed up be fore planting. Plant the best seed available and use recommended varieties. Have your seed properly treated, using only those fungi cides recommended by Clemson College. This treatment gives add ed protection against disease loss. Loss of 50% in Pig Crop Swine dysentery is a major threat to hog producers. It can affect up to 100 percent of the herd, and can cause 25 to 50 per cent death losses if it goes un treated. The introduction of newly purchased pigs into their herds without taking health pre cautions are running the chance of suffering heavy losses. Scouring is one of the major symptoms, but other diseases cause scouring, too, so a fir. step in controlling an outbreak is to make ready to fill the developing gaps in their work force by hir ing trainable youth now. I also urge that employers avail them selves of the special techniques of the S. C. State Employment Serv ice in matching the skills and ap titudes of young beginners with their job openings. Ernest H. Layton, Mayor, City of Newberry have a veterinarian diagnose the exact cause, and then take propel' treatment measures. Farmers should also make sure pigs are bought from a healthy herd. Newly-purchased pigs should be kept apart from the home herd for a period of weeks because in fected pigs can be spreaders of this disease even before they show symptoms. Certification of Small Grain Farmers and seedsmen should make plans now to certify small grain, fescue, or crimson clover in 1962. Applications must be submitted on or before April 16 in order that all fields might be inspected prior to the harvest season Fields which were planted with purple tag registered seed may produce blue tag certified seeds if all standards are met and those fields planted with blue tag cer tified seed may have the increase certified as green tag seed. In order for a field to qualify for certifier tion, it must be on ground whe .-e no small grain grew last year f mless Hie crop was of the same variety and the same class of seed to be certified. Now is the time to start clean ing fields for certification. All fields should be sprayed. to con trol weeds. After spraying, farm ers are urged to rough out any remaining noxious or trouble some weeds as well as other crops. The use of registered anji certi fied seed is a profit-making prac tice. Yields have been increased from 4% to 1 bushels per acre by the use of registered and certified seed as compared to ordinary seed. Applications for certification are available from the County Agents Office, teachers of agricul ture, and from the Seed Certifica tion Department at Clemson. They must be filed on or before the deadline of April 15. m • < («' . o' • '-jf ^ » JS 4 - I * t X I S** 'V* RETURNS AFTER BUYING TRIP Mrs. E. A.

Languishing Legislation DURING THE first ..three months of tide legislative sion, the Congress hns demon strated little interest in leg- ^ islation that would promote socialism, in centralisation of power, proposals have either been killed outright, compromised, delayed, or are preparing to face the congressional scalpel either in committee or on the floor. VfHAT 18 respenaihle for this? A number of soon. This is the proposed purchase of United. that la Cor fnl has found much position to ' P«ls* to be extreme reluctance to have the Congress delegate to the President the sweeping powers he has requested to adjust taxes on his own, to torn on and off public works programs at his will, and to in the trade categories «f_ tually any recourse by industries. This is a reason why none of this legisla tion hah made much progress thus far. This is also why all three of these proposals will be subjected to many amendments if or when they are considered on the floors- of each house. THE MOST significant action taken by tho Congress to date has been its overwhelming re jection of the Presidents re organization plan to create a cabinet-level Department of Ur ban Affairs and Housing. On this matter many Members of Congress demonstrated great political courage not only in voting against such n strongly desired presidential proposal, but more importantly, because the plan carried with it over tones of two sticky political is sues which were fabricated to get it through the Congress. To vote against the plan, many Congressmen from outside the South had to risk being labeled anti-Negro and anti-urban. ANOTHER important Admin istration vote is aekedulod very to U. S. partteipatkm in Hite. SUPPORTERS of general federal aid to education have virtually abandoned any hope of getting such legislation en acted this year in view of the tide of conservative opinion sweeping tho nation.

Sincerely, > Jslj (Not pcfeM at ffoaommant aupaaM) IN A ..NEW ’62.. There are several bills pend ing before Congress which are categorized, somewhat loosely, as fair trade bills.

In the long run, there is pro tection for the consumer built into these bills. a a a The principle is quite simple.

Unless there is some protection for a trademark, there is little use for any manufacturer to try and build quality. Eventually, the American consumer will have only a choice of cheaply made as possible junk, with no guarantees of any kind. When this inevitable and eventual result comes about, the Japs will take over the entire Amer ican market.
