THE << SPECTAT0R , S ,, COLUMN Whenever a South Carolina com- low member of Congress, Sen John pany or a son of South Carolina»J. Williams (R.-Del.) today de- accomplishes something out of the ordinary or is recognized for an achievement I rejoice in being a son of South Carolina and feel happy in calling attention to the good work. Although I am somewhat aware of what is going on I found in the newspapers a record made by our South Carolina Electric & Gas company. I quote the letter from Theodore Baumeister of Columbia University, New York: “The people of South Carolina, especially the residents of Charles ton and Columbia, can be proud of the record of their power company in the thermal performance fig ures jjust released by the Federal nounced Rep. Adam Clayton Pow ell, (D. N.Y.) and the administra tions ‘shoveling the taxpayers money out’ to the Harlem law maker. p As critical as he was of Pow ell’s own activities, the Deleware Senator was more angrily so of the manner in wnich the Kennedy j ;e t 7 d " t 7" te 7 t '" th r fea ;ib il ity"of the Administration has been fmanc sters have urgent or important business ? “The first stage of what may become one of the world’s most extensive medical experiments, in volving 100,000 volunteers, is get ting under way in an effort to ansver conclusively the controver sial question of whether changes in diet can help prevent heart at tacks. As a first step, 1.500 middle-age American men now are being sel- ing Powell’s operations while fail ing to collect his back taxes. ‘During the past 12 months var ious agencies of the government have been scrambling around to see who could give Powell the most favorable deal,’ Williams charged. He named the State De partment of Health, Education Power commission (Electric World . and Welfare, and the housing and QUALIFICATIONS FOR VOT ING: 1. All registered voters resid ing in Tax District No. 4 are eli gible to vote in this election. The only Precincts to be opened will be Whitmire No 1, Whitmire No. 2, Maybinton and Long Lane - Beth Eden. Any qualified voter residing in Tax District No. 4 is eligible to vote in this election and such voters who may regularly vote in precincts other than the four list ed herein may vote in this elec tion at any one of the four prec incts set forth upon presenting to the Managers of Election a valid January. 28.) These figures show that for the year 1961, the . South Carolina Gas & Electric company was outstand ing in its thermal efficiency. There are only seven multiple-plant pow er systems in the USA where ef- (ficiency, in converting the raw energy of fuel into saleble electric power, exceeds that of the local system. And the margin is less than 6 per cent in any case. Technologically, this is a re markable record because all the advantages rest with the giants j like Detroit Edison, Southern Cal- on ' ifornia Edison and the TVA. Des- I pite the inherent advantages for the big competitors, the smaller S. C. Electric & Gas company sys tem more than holds its own. This high conversion efficiency of heat into power is a tribute to the competence of the design and operating standards which prevail on the SCE&G system. It is a feather in the cap of all South Carolinians and takes its rightful place beside the record, established only a few years ago, when the McMeekin Station at Lake Murray was the most effic ient steam power plant among the 500, in the entire USA.” As a South Carolinian I feel special pride in the fact that the resourceful head of the great power company is a native son of South Carolina, born in Fairfield county and trained by Clemson college, S. C. McMeekin. And, like a real executive he has as assoc iates very able men, the General Manager, F. R. McMeekin is also a native son, though not related registration certificate and proof of residence within Tax District to the president The unusual occurrence of No. 4. 2. Each person offering to vote in this election must have resided in the State of South Carolina for two years, in Newberry County for six months and in the precinct at which he offers to vote for 60 days, all prior to March 5, 1963. 3. Each person offering to vote must have duly registered on the county books of Registry for Newberry County during the per iod September 3, 1957, to Febru ary 5, 1963, both inclusive. 4. As required by the Rules of the Democratic Party of South Carolina, each person offering to vote shall present his registration certificate. The managers shall administer to each person offering to vote an oath that he is qualified to vote at this election, according to the Constitution of this State and that he has not voted during this elec tion. The managers have the power to fill a vacancy in their number, and if none of the managers at tends the citizens can appoint from among the qualified voters, man agers, who after being duly sworn can continue the election. At the close of the election the managers and clerks must pro ceed publicly to open the ballot box and count the ballots therein, two outstanding engineers by the same name, in the same company, with out ties of blood relationship, re minds me of the McKays I knew in Peru. Five McKays served the same Anglo-Peruano institutions and no two were related. I began to think that Scotland not only had hundreds of thousands of sons named Angus, but also a million McKays. However, all the McKays home finance agency as especially guilty. And he said: ‘While these three agencies were shovelling out the taxpayers dol lars to Powell and his numerous operations, we find that the treas ury department, over on the other side of the street, was still carry ing Powell in its books as delin quent in his federal income taxes for seven of the nine years since 1949, Williams said. He charged the State department with having had ‘no excuse’ for having financed, last summer, ‘Powell’s European vacation with his lady friends, where he attend ed all the night spots of the Euro pean capitals on a tax-paid jun ket’. But, he added ‘other agencies were determined not to be out done’ by state. larger study. They will eat spec ially prepared foods for the next J2 months or so. Researchers hope :o determine whether these foods are palatable enough to be taken day in and day out over a long period. The specific nature of these foods is being kept confidential, but generally they are ones in which the so-called saturated fats, such as lard, shortening, egg yolk, and butter, have been reduced. Medically, they want to determine whether the special diet has any significant effect on the amount of cholesterol and other fatty sub stances in the blood.” Nosegay Club Hears Mrs. Smith The Nosegay Gtrden Club held its February meeting at the home of Mrs. Thompson Price with 18 members present. Mesdames B. E. Eader, T. William Hunter and George W. McCall were hostesses. In the absence of the president, Mrs. T. L. Vickery, Mrs. L. Hart He noted*that HEW had made! J ° rdan : vice-president and pres an outright $250,000 grant to Pow ell and his aides to establish in Harlem the nucleus of a domestic Peace Corps, although Congress i in unison * has not approved such a corps. Williams also reported that the HHFA has made three low-in-in terest loans totalling $10,838,000 to Powell and his aides for con struction of a housing develop ment and the purchase of two ho tels, although the cost of these, by HHFAs own records was to be $1,- 250,000 less than the amount of the loans. ‘And as further evidence of the administration’s philanthropy’, Williams continued, ‘It endorsed a bill which would provide complete exemption from real estate taxes on one of these properties as long as it was owned and controlled by Powell’s outfit.” Of course we’ve had small poli tics and large politics before, but I cannot recall anything compara ble to this. As a simple-minded man of no experience in these broad fields of human endeavor. I innocently won der what can be the reason for all this. The Reverend Powell is pastor of a large church in New York’s Harlem District, as well as a Congressman and one may won der whether the President favors ident-elect, presided. She opened the meeting with the request that “The Gardener’s Prayer” be read shed luster on old Scotia, jjust as the McMeekins bring distinction to Congressman Powell because he enjoys hearing him preach. (Ed. Note.—Powell is a Negro Congressman from the Harlem district of New York.) Fairfield and South Carolina. Some days ago I went into a Columbia institution and met two unrelated Smiths, then went out and met a Smith next door. I no longer wonder about the immigr ant lad just from Germany who walked about in New York asking everyone he met if he knew his “Uncle Schmidt.” You may not know it, but in a corner of Orangeburg county you meet the Shulers; in Aiken you meet the Gantts; in Santuc, yo u meet the Jeters and the Gees. So now, do you know South Carolina? In Clarendon you find the Hodges. One cannot be proud of the political activities of the Kennedy Administration. I am not interest ed in their social ambition but, and continue without adjournment think over what Senator Williams until the same is completed, and make a statement of the results of such election, and sign the same. Immediately thereafter, the chair man of the managers, or some one designated by the managers, must deliver to the secretary the poll list, the box containing the ballots and written statements of the results of the election.

In two great wars America went to the support of France, contri buting billions of dollars and per haps, a million men, not counting those hundreds of thousands who were maimed and treated in the Veterans' hospitals throughout the nation. In the first World War Ameri cans turned the tide twice at cru cial moments. Of course America went over to save Great Britain but the fighting was at sea and in France, for the most part. And France turns the cheek to day? I’m glad of it; if it makes us stay on this side it will be a glorious thing for us. If we bring home all the Air Force, ships of war, soldiers, special diplomats and hundreds of thousands of our do-gooders, we could command that respect which great power at a distance usually enjoys. The truth is that the world has grown tired of Americans and we should confine our means and brains to this side of the world— and north of the Rio Grande. Let us stay within our own 'borders. During a business session, re ports were given by committee chairmen, and by Mrs. Jordan from the board meeting of the Council of Garden clubs. The demonstration to be spon sored by the Council on March 21, at Wessels Library on the col lege campus, was discussed for both morning and afternoon sess ions at $1 for either one or both courses. Mrs. Walter Pond of Col umbia will be featured. Other gar den clubs of the county will be invited to attend. Donations of $2 each for Mem orial Gardens in Columbia and for the Blue Star highway were re quested and voted. A district meeting is scheduled for Clinton on March 13. Special attention was called to the dedication of a marker to be erected in the Home Demonstra tion Club Park in Pomaria, along the Blue Star highway, U. S. 176 on March 28 at 3 P. M. Club members were asked to be present. Mrs. John Earle Smith, program chairman for this meeting, gave a delightfully interesting and in formative talk on Iris. She des cribed the flower, the name o f which means “rainbow” as a long- lived perennial that needs a min imum of care and is grown in many parts of-the world. She treated her subject with warmth and understanding, developing practical means for maximum en joyment through cultivating iris. With Mrs. Price’s rare and beautiful appointments, and in following a Valentine motif, plan ned by Mrs. Eader with Mrs. Price in both refreshments and decor, members enjoyed a social hour. Mrs. T. N. Parks drew for the door prize. Letyofatfc As you may have noticed, I am greatly interested in the notable work of our medical and surgical practitioners. Now they are study ing the possible effects of special diets to prevent heart attacks. This, as you know, is a fast age. When I travel at a slow sixty miles per hour everybody passes me, even truck loads of hogs, not forgetting young mothers with children hanging around their necks—old men, young men, el derly ladies going to a missionary conference—everybody. It all re minds me of the Chinese Ambassa dor, Mr. Wu, many years ago. At the time a great train had s 1 schedule of 18 hours from New York to Chicago, I recall. Mr. Wu was quite a popular figure then— somewhat of a philosopher. Speak ing of the train he said: “I’m not so much interested in the speed of the train; I wonder what the peo ple will do when they get there.” So do I. Dr. Charles E. Burts, a great man, lovable and fervent spirit, once told the story of a man try ing to sell a machine to feed hogs rapidly. Said the farmer “What’s time to ahog?” How many speed- By LINDA NORRIS T HE two Peggy Lees known so well to her fans—the feline and provocative Peggy, and the soft and fetching Peggy — are given equal time in the singer’s latest Capitol LP titied “Sugar ’n Spice” . . . The idea is pictorially car ried out by back-to-back color covers—pink and white carnations and a dewy-eyed Peggy for “sugar,” leopard skin and a sul try Peggy for “spice”. . . Ideal Lee vehicles are included such as “Ain’t That Love,” “Teach Me Tonight,” “Big Bad Bill” and “I Believe in You.” The big baritone voice of AI Martino is heard in a varied col lection of songs including his mil lion-selling “Here in My Heart” in his new Capitol album, “The Ex citing Voice of Al Martino” . . . Remaining selections are in both English and Italian and run from outright pop—“The Loveliest Night of the Year”—to semi-clas sical—“Granada” and grand op era, “Nessun Dorma”. . . There are also dramatic readings of “Ex odus Song” and “Because You’re Mine.” A new Christmas album by the Roger Wagner Chorale, entitled “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear,” joins a previous one—“Joy to the World”—which has established it self as a year-in-year-out favorite of the season . . . Again the em phasis is on the best-loved songs of Christmas: “We Three Kings,” “Silent Night,” “Gesu Bambino,” “Little Drummer Boy” and others . . . Makes a fine addition, an ex cellent Christmas gift. Bryson Speaks | To Garden Club Landscape design was the topic ; of the February 12th meeting of | the Newberry Garden club when ! the group met with Mrs. Hugu B. ; Senn and Mrs. Thomas J. Esk- | ridge, co-hostesses. The speakker was Thomas Bryson, assistant Co. Agent. After delicious refreshments of a Valentine motif were served, Mr. ; Bryson presented his lecture and ' colored films depicting the plant ing of a well-formed landscape. During his talk Mr. Bryson pointed out that the three essen tials in landscape design are a careful survey of the situation; the planning with long-range terms in mind, and then the plant ing. He noted the importance of introduction of foreign plants, but also stressed the importance of the landscape changes, as with the use of native plants. Mentioning some plants suitable for the modern low built home he j cited the dogwood, maple, gum, sourwood and ash. Mr. Bryson was presented a gift by the program chairman, Mrs. Charles H. Gray, who also in troduced him. Mrs. Louis C. Floyd presided in the absence of the president, Mrs. Joe L. Feagle. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Mrs. J. Donald Rook, in the absence of the recording secretary, Mrs. Price J. Padgett. It was announced that Mrs. Clem I. Youmans, State Blue Star Highway chairman, and member of the club, has donated a marker to Highway 176 at Pomaria Park, that is being sponsored by the Newberry Garden club. The unveil ing and dedication service for this Blue Star marker will be held on March 28, and the club mem bers will sponsor a luncheon for out-of-town guests and provide programs. Mrs. Youmans, reporting for the Garden Club Council, announced that a flower school workshop will be held March 21, sponsored by Council. Mrs. Walter Pond of Columbia will lecture at the morn ing session from 10 until 12:30 and the afternoon session from 2 until 4:30. The price for both sessions is $1 and they will be held at the College. Mrs. Charles B. Whittle, Civil Defense chairman, distributed two new pamphlets on Fire Fighting for Householders and Emergency Sanitation at Home. Mrs. James E. Wiseman, Jr. and Mrs. David T.
