Dear Daddy:
Once every year they have a special
day lor fellows like you. They call it
Fathers Day. And on that day we
children are supposed to honor you.
Somehow that just doesn’t seem
right. Oh, not that you shouldn’t be
honored. You deserve that. But that
we should have a special day to do it.
Somehow I have an idea that every
day is, for fathers like you, a Fathers
Day. For everyday folks like myself
go through life, make decisions, pass
judgments, and in general live out
our lives on principles that our fathers
taught us.
Problem Solved
Often I think about what would
have happened to me if I ever started
looking to the bottle to solve some of
my problems. I know many people who
have. They used to say that one per
son in every sixteen who drink became
an alcoholic. The figure is probably a
little higher than that now-a-days. But
I don’t have to worry about becoming
an alcoholic for the simple reason that
you taught me not to drink. I remem
ber very clearly, when I was but a
youngster, asking you about drinking.
You told me thr t, you never did. That
solved the thi :g for me—then and
there. If you didn’t, then I knew I
shouldn’t.
I sincerely try to treat people fair
and honest—to treat them like I would
like to be treated. In other words, I
try to apply the Golden Rule to my
life. Where did I learn this? Not so
much from my Sunday School teacher
or preacher as from you. Oh, I know
you never sat me down and made me
memorize it. But I learned it from you
as I saw you practice it in your daily
life. And memorizing it wouldn’t have
helped much unless I saw you prac-
tcing it.
A Good Name
You never gave us children much
money, for the simple reason that you
didn’t have much. You would have
given us your last penny if we had
needed it. I know that. But you gave
us something worth many times over
the value of money. You gave us a
good name. I have always been proud
to carry a part of your name. I do so
with head held high. Seems like I
remember that somewhere in the Good
Book it says a good name is to chosen
rather than great riches. I believe
that.
As I grow older in the years I grow
continually more thankful for your in
fluence on me. I cannot knowingly
cheat a man, or tell a lie, or do any
other thing which is wrong for the
simple reason that as a growing boy
you taught me a better way of living.
Most folks measure success today
by how high you rise, or how much
money you make, or how powerful you
are. Those criteria are false. And those
who measure success by them are
fools. The successful people are people
like yourself. They are people who
give their children real riches—spiri
tual riches.
I have many ambitions in this life,
Daddy. You know that. But ranking
high on the list is this one: To be as
good a father to my children as you
were to yours. If I can do it, I, too,
can be successful.
Thanks for giving me a good start.

COMMENT
on
Men & Things
B> J. K. BREED!\
We Americans are so confus
ed that our grandfathers would
be at a loss to know just what
it is that makes an American
and entitles him to equality with
all other Americans.
1 as an old school man, ac
customed to deal with different
races, suggest that a practical
approach to our public schools
might be this in the South there
should be a complete equality
in everything, letting all races
to mingle, for that is what our
Northern friends seem to wish
and advocate. But they only
want that to apply to us of the
South
Now let’s see what we can
suggest for New York: equal
ity of all races, such as this
for example: having a list pre
pared to include Porto Ricans
and all people of this side of
the world such as Mexicans,
Central Americans, South Am
ericans, Canadians; and then
making sure that everyone in
New York and Boston stand on
the same level, so as to insist
on what they wish to put on
the South. I must not forget all
the children from the West Ind
ies, all colors.
To make sure to include ever
body remember to include child
ren of every race in New York,
that would include many repre
sentatives from more than a
million Hebrews in New York
and a million or more foreign
ers who cannot speak English;
and perhaps two million who
know nothing of our history and
are entirely uninformed about
George Wasington, Thomas Jef
ferson, James Madison, John
Marshall and the hundreds of
other great men who formed
this nation.
If you have not been to New
York City go there and take
a subway about nine A. M. and
you will have an experience like
one I had: I stepped on a sub
way one morning and several
men laughed. I was so irritated
that one of the men apologized
and said—these men and I wag
ered that no native born Amer
ican would get on this train
within a number of miles and
here you are, a clearly native
born American.
So you see, our biggest city
is so un-American that he may
for sometime not see a single
American; and they tell us of
the South what to do!
Have we a common standard
of intelligence in the United
States so that there is a big
intellectual difference in consid
ering pupils of north and south,
east and west? One might think
so because of the differences
which our government seems to
think it has found in the differ
ent parts of the Union and it
has adopted rules, regulations
and laws which might cause an
Englishman to think that our
country has more differences
than Europe, Asia and Mexico.
Wreckers may
use red lights
Wreckers may now use mount
ed oscillating, rotating or flash
ing red lights at the scene of
an accident according to a law
enacted during the recent legis
lative' session.
Heretofore, wreckers were not
allowed to use this type light
at am time because a mounted
red oscillating, rotating or a
Hashing red light is designated
for the use* of emuTgency ve
hicle's only. The 1 wrecker still
has to be at the scene of an
aemdemt bedore' it is lawful for
it to use* this type light.
According to S. State' High-
wa> De-art me*nt officials, a
w re'ckeT is now edassifie'd as an
e uiergemcy v e 1 h i c 1 e emce it
ivaches the scene of aeciek :t.
The wrecker is necessary to re
move vehicles involved in an
aecielent out of the roadway or
may perhaps be ne*eued to re
move ex-cupants who are pin
ned or trapped inside wrecked
vehicles.

AND THE SOUTH MOVES OUTDOORS!
Summer's a season of Southern
fun; from the pool to the patio and
the park...from baseballs to golf
balls and tennis balls. And South
erners are on the move, scanning

Tennessee, the bright beaches of
Florida and Mississippi, exploring
avenues of vacation adventure
through South Carolina and Ala
bama.
Your brewing industry is on the
move, too—a healthy sign of South
ern life—contributing to the econ
omy, supporting local law enforce
ment, promoting high-standard
outlets for its products, asking one
and all to "Keep America Beautiful,”
this summer and always.
