Probably the question that
first would be asked by any
one not familiar with the 4-H
Club program is what is the
purpose of State 4-H Club
Week. To answer this we would
like to give the answer given
by a club member when she
was asked the same question.
State 4-H Club Week is a con
ference for 4-H Club members,
a workshop, a contest, a place
to meet and make new friends.
It is a place to get together
with old friends. A week of
instruction by subject matter
specialist and a week of fun
and enjoyment. It is where
4-H Club members compete with
each other in 4-H projects and
activities by the use of stand
ardized record book or by dem
onstrations or both as an in
dividual and/or a team. The 4-H
boys have judging team compe
tition in such things as Live
stock, Dairy, Poultry, and Soils;
and individual competition in
tractor operator and coopera
tive demonstration.
For the 4-H girl there is com
petition in Clothing demonstra
tions, Peach Activity, Dairy
Foods demonstration, Dress
Revue, and the Poultry Barbe
cue is open to both boys and
girls. In addition to these just
mentioned there is the whole
range of projects and activities
in which 4-H Club members
compete with each other.
All judging is done using the
Danish system, namely a record
must be worthy of recognition,
then it is placed in either white,
red or blue award group. With
the blue being the highest aw
ard, then red and white. To
enter a 4-H record a boy or
girl must be a 4-H Club mem
ber, 14 years old or older as
of January 1 of the current
year and have been in club
work for 3 years.
After State 4-H Club Week
the blue award winners are giv
en the opportunity to re - work
their records and re-submit
them for further competition
and the selection of state win
ners to represent South Caro
lina at the National 4-H Con
ference in Washington and 4-H
Club Congress in Chicago as
well as other state awards.

Group formed to
end giving aid
to enemy
As any American who has
ever read a book or seen a
Western movie can tell you, the
lowest and most despicable of
all creatures in 19th century
America were those greedy and
conscientious men who sold
guns to the hostile Indians.
There was, of course, a very
good reason for this; the In
dians were certain to turn
right around and use those
guns to kill men, women, and
children. Therefore, any man
who sold guns to the Indians
was, in actuality, killing his
fellow Americans and our fore
fathers had the good sense to
recognize this and to deal with
those who traded with the en
emy with great harshness.
Times have changed!
At this moment, in an Amer
ican factory, goods and mach
inery are being manufactured
that will be sold to the Soviet
enemy and its satellite-allies.
While these goods and mach
ines are “ non-strategic” in the
sense that they are not actually
guns or ammunition, they come
close enough to be called “aid”
to the enemy. For example,
among the items licensed for
export to the Soviet enemy and
its allies are radio-active iso
topes, rifle cleaner, all sorts of
chemicals and petroleum pro
ducts, automotive parts and a
host of other things without
which modern warfare cannot
be waged. Moreover, even in
those cases where the goods
or machines cannot be used on
the battlefield itself, the fact
that we are supplying them to
the Soviets makes it possible
for the Soviets to use the pro
ductive capacity that would
have been needed to manufact
ure them for out-and out war
production.
All of thia makes it pretty
obvious that, in a somewhat
round-about way, the Admin
istration has got itself in the
position of selling guns to the
modern day “red men”.
Protests against this sort of
thing have been heard in Wash-
Jr., William McCrackin, and
Bill Bishop, Blue Award. They
were first place winners and
will represent South Carolina at
the National Dairy Judging
Contest at Columbus, Ohio, in
connection with the North Am
erican Dairy Show in October.
ington but they have been both
feeble and disorganized. Cour
ageous and sensible members of
the Congress like South Dako
ta’s Senator Karl Mundt, Rep
resentative Glenard Lipscomb
of California and Indiana’s Rep-
resenative Ross Adair have
fought the Administration’s
“Bridge Building to the East”
policy. They need help in the
fight, however.
That help is now forthcoming.
An organizaton is being
formed around the nation to
combat aid to the Soviet enemy.-
Known as the Committee to
End Aid to the Soviet Enemy
(CEASE), it is seeking at least
ten million signatures on peti
tions protesting such aid. It
also plans a massive educational
campaign designed t 6 warn
against the dangers involved in
aiding the Soviet enemy.
The Committee’s National
Chairman is former Connecticut
Governor and U. S. Ambassador
John Davis Lodge. On its Board
of Sponsors are such distin
guished Americans as the form
er Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, Adm. Arthur Radford,
USN (ret.), former Senator
William F. Knowland, Adm. Ar-
leigh Burke and General Arthur
Trudeau.
CEASE is now engaged in the
formation of State organization
which will carry out the enor
mous job of getting the ten
million signatures and of rais
ing such funds as are requir
ed to carry out CEASE’s am
bitious educational campaign.
Funds to finance CEASE, ac
cording to Governor Lodge, are
being raised among millions of
small contributors rather than
in appeals to a handful of weal
thy donors. Lodge says this is
being done in order to dram
atize the tremendous popular
support CEASE enjoys and thus
to lend weight to its demands
for an end to aid the enemy.
CEASE National Headquar
ters are located at 1061 Nation
al Press Building, Washington,
D. C. State headquarters will
be announced when established.
Seat belt use
urged by SCHD
Safety officials have long re
cognized the value of seat belts
in passenger cars as a means
of reducing injuries resulting
from a collision or overturning
accident, and the State High
way Department is supporting
a drive to get all motorists to
install and use these belts.
Federal regulations make the
installation of seat belts in all
new cars mandatory. However,
there are millions of older cars
still operating on the nation’s
highways which are not so
equipped but should be, High
way Department spokesmen de
clare.
As a part of its educational
campaign to stress the benefits
derived from use of these belts
reports of fatal accidents in
South Carolina made daily by
patrol radio to headquarters in
Columbia, now include data on
seat belt use by drivers and
passengers. This is a new entry
on the report form. In the fu
ture, accurate information will
be available on the use of seat
belts on the part of accident
victims. Some legal authorities
speculate that in the future,
lack of seat belt use may con
stitute grounds for a charge
of contributory negligence in
case of an accident.
Safety research leaders, such
as D. D. F. Heulke of the Uni
versity of Michigan Medical
School, have found that ejec
tion is the leading cause of
death in automobile accidents.
Ejection cannot usually occur if
the occupants are wearing the
proper seat belts.
In one study of fatal accid
ents, 48 persons were killed by
ejection from vehicles. It is be
lieved that 80 percent of these
victims would have survived by
using seat belts. Another two
percent would have lived if
they had worn shoulder har
nesses in addition to the seat
belts.
