Americas middle-sized cities are much cleaner than our French cities ... In architecture and construction, the Am ericans certainly are formidable.’ Richard Martinet, 20-year-old electronics student, made an observation enthusiastically seconded by the others: “The American garbage collections are superb. It’s wonder ful the way people wrap their garbage before putting it into the collection cans’.” THE “SPECTATOR S” COLUMN As others see us! Some French students tell o ftheir im pressions of America. “Wonderfully up-and-go French young people planned, worked and saved to get to the United States to see for themselves. There, the past summer, they traveled 4,631 miles, stayed with American families, sang and danced and put on plays for local audiences, and fielded a ball team to play high school all-stars before 40,000 in Yankee stadium. And they talked to all sorts of Americans, looked hard, and returned to France full of extraordinarily perceptive, appre ciative and sometimes surprising opinions about the United States and the way Americans live and think. T £ There were 155 in the group, all young students and work ers from the western Paris suburb of Saint-Germairt-en-Laye. They clearly have blazed a new-type trail toward the best kind of American-Franco friendship and understanding. Because of the number of American officers, personnel and families living in the area and the ‘friendly community relations established with them,’ the young people of the region became intensly interested in the United States, its people, and their way of life. Somebody said,Why don’t we go see for ourselves?’ ^ Immediate enthusiasm. Costs were calculated* # group was formed, and for two years they worked ahd/tfaved to meet the expense. Those with jobs worked extra hours. Stu dents baby sat, caddied each Sunday at the nearby golf course, worked during their vacations as replacements in railroad stations, etc. Each of them deposited a fixed amount each month. At the same time, as they put it, ‘we followed a serious “One measure of an area’s growth is its production and use of electricity. Take the 23 counties served by the South Carolina Electric and Gas company. Ten years ago, the company’s electric generating capability stood at 615 thous and kilowatts. Today it is over a MILLION, 236 thousand kilowatts . . . more than DOUBLE the figure of a decade ago. The use of electricity in the home has been growing, too. In 1955, the average residential customer of South Car olina Electric & Gas company was using 3,749 kilowatt hours annually. As of August 31 of this year that figure has in creased SIX thousand six hundred kilowatt hours—again, almost double the use of ten years ago. And the cost? Well, that’s the only thing that has gone down. Production is up, use of electricity is up—but the average residential cost dropped from 2.40c per kilowatt hour in 1955 to 2.03 as of last August. And that’s 11 per cent BELOW the national average cost. Production—up; use—up; cost—DOWN, that’s the story j)f The South Carolina Electric and Gas company, electricity!

Jennings Bryan Dorn visited Newberry High School Wednesday, Dec 1. He spoke during a special chapel meeting. The High School is visit ed each year by one of South Carolina’s Representatives in the Congress. with each member of the get-to-the-U.S. group attending twice a week. There were meetings too with the Americans to discuss the U. S. outlook and way of life. Conferences on U. S. civilization and culture were arranged and films on the subject provided by the American Embassy and TJSIS. How did the Americans they met impress them? ‘The most surprising thing,’ says 37-year-old Pauline Murray who works in the NBC office in Paris, ‘was the courtesy of Am erican men. They have a natural courtesy, and indeed, every one was most polite and kind to us. Actually, we had come to know the general tendency of Americans to be polite from the young Americans over here who came to take French lessons and exchange conversations.’ The most satisfying finding of Edwige Bosoms, 18-year- old student at the Ecole Normale de Misique in Paris. ‘When we arrived as the guests of an American family in the ev ening, the first thing they asked us was what they could do for us. They were always trying to make us happy.’ Philippe Fosseux, 18, student in a technical college, found Americans ‘very generous,’ and remembers gratefully that ‘one evening a man in the family where we were staying gave us $5 to ‘go out and have a good time’.’ Jacques Pic, 20, finishing his studies before hi^-, nailitary service, found Americans’ neighborliness ‘fantastic*? and was astonished that ‘neighbors even talk to each other by telephone’! Jean Leveque, 24, who runs a book shop, found Americans ‘a young people—it’s good to stay young and optimistic.’ Adds Mme Vasseur, T found them young in outlook at every age. They are sportive, realist, and practical.’ But to another young woman, ‘Americans seemed a strange mixture 'Of sen timentalists, realists and wishful thinkers.’ r ‘U. a, drivers’, one of the young men observed, ‘are re markably prudent and calm, and respect each other and the pedestrians. Also, people stay in line, and obey the rules— all much different than in France.’ Maybe, he added, ‘this is because the fines in America are much higher, and in any case I think it an excellent idea to set maximum speed limits, instead of the raceways we often have in France.’ From New York the group went in special buses gara, Detroit, Cincinnati, Knoxville, Louisville, and froifi there by plane to New Orleans.

Londan.—That long-dreamed-of tunnel under the English Chanel may—in the next few years—begin to see the light of day at last. At least that’s the hope and intention of the Channel Tunnel Study Group, a consortium of British, French and American interests (both private and govern mental), which a month ago completed a crucial phase of this latest endeavor to link Britain with th^ Continent, fin anced by the nationalized British and French r Iroads, a $5 million survey team has been mapping possible routes. .Tracing the bottom of the sea, and its underlying structure, has been a year-long, full-time adventure requiring a veri table fleet of vessels and drilling platforms, and the logging of thousands of seismic soundings.

Assuming that the whole scheme doesn’t run afoul of insurmountable political, military and economic obstacles, as happened frequently in the past trans-channel commerce may be coursing through this dark and chalky murk by the mid 1970’s. ••••••••••• * Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM ♦ ♦ « New York Detroit—‘Pretty and agreeable despite its industry.’ Knoxville—‘Least significant but least expensive.’ ~ tents WITH A 1st or 2nd MORTGAGE DEBT C DATION LOAN ON HOME OR EQUITY.

You won’t even have fin ished your left-over turkey before thousands of Leftists, pacifists, conscientious and unconscientious object ors, professors, student and hang ers-on converge in the Nat ion’s Capitol on November 27. They call the event a March on Washington. The March is supposed to show the world that people in the United States want to get out of Viet Nam. You’ve heard all the arguments before at the teach-ins and march-ins and campus demonstrations, and you’re going to hear it all again this week end. Just as the October 15 and 16 “Days of International Protest” were planned and co-ordinated with plenty of time and money, the Thanksgiving march has been in the works for several months. You’ll see familiar faces. Many of them have marched before, for civil rights and against warj lfor “free speech” and against “middle-class morality.” A great number of participants will be students, professors and col lege drop-outs. ■ ••>’.• The youthful protesters weren’t born yesterday. Viet Nam was not the spark that lit the draft card burning flame. And this march, like all the ones before it, is not “spontan eous,” nor it it representative. What is the history o fthe Young Protest movement? John E. Cox, Chairman of the California Young Americans for Freedom, answered that question for Manion Forum list eners on November 21. Much of: the impetus for the “movement” has come from the Berkeley campus of the University of California. But what started Berkeley on its path? Here is what Cox said: In December 1959, the Communist party met at an in ternational conference in New York City. At that time, they Telt that one of their primary objectives would be to abolish •3 ANS loans. Writ* R. R. BAXTER P.O.Box 1351, Graenvilla, S. C. nq •*'mn the House Committee on Un-American Activities.;^ -y “They understood that HCUA was going to hold hearings San Francisco. Knowing this, they set up action groups; they started working on the college campus. . There was a group called SLATE which, according to the California State Senate Commitee on Un-American Activities, is a transmission belt to the college campus for the Communist r rty at Berkeley. > .> “Then in April (of 1960) the House Committee announced that it was going to hold hearings in May in the Bay Area in California. The Communists then started working actively on the California campus through SLATE and other groups, nd actually on many other college campuses throughout the hole area. During the hearings they held demonstrations. This was, I think, the beginning of the whole thing. “Since then, they’ve jumped to other causes. The Viet Nam Day Committee is just another one of them. The Free Speech Movement was another.” And the March on Washington is yet another. ~ Where will they go from here? . PROPERTY TRANSFERS Frances Senn Adams Slice to Elton L.
