for the Palmetto State Teachers'
Association, we are taking the
liberty to trespass and v rite a
few of the "high spots" that took
place during the convention just
^closed in Columbia. According to
Secretary Burgess' report it was
th* WtllA t'lll Ulll'tl -11KS H'lUlllUI?
since its organization thirty 01
more years ago, having enrolled
6,500 or more teachers.
We listened with much pleasure
to President G. A. Anderson's address.

was one of the best addref ses we
have ever heard from a pr sident.
It was such a wide margi.i from
the one he delivered last yoar \
Friend Anderson spoke fro a the [
bottom of his heart, eitini? iiis oh
jcctives with his rock-bott >m lo

voice, he described and discussed
the handicaps of t- achers
with their meager salaries.

EMPLOYERS ARE WARNED
TO BEWARE OF SALESMEN '
< MAKING MISLEADING
STATEMENTS
"It has been called to my attention
that certain book .agents
are showing employers a leceipt
book which is supposed to have
the approval of the Social Secur_
liy Board," said Mr. W. H. Nixon,
Jr., manager of the Social Se?
etirfly Board Office at Columbia,
S. C. "Emplyers are warned to
be on the lookout for any salesV
man who tries to sell them a receipt
book, stating that it is approved
or recommended by the
Social Security Board. The board
has neither approved nor recommended
any type of receipt," he
fcaid. However, all employers are
now required to give receipts to
their employees.
Certain s^jdjhe^J. information
must be included on the receipt to
the pmnlnvpps hut tho
left to the employer. In addition
to the amount of tax deducted
- the receipt must show the name of
the employer, the name of the
employee, the period of time covered
by the receipt, ahd the total
amount of wages paid to the employee
during this period.
Employers are required to furnish
such receipts at least once a
year and may furnish them oftener?every
quarter, or every month
or every pay day, as they see fit.
The receipt must be given to the
employee within two months aftter
the end of the pay period
which it covers, and, in any case,
when the employee leaves the job.

ED ENROLLMENT
. ELECTED PRESIDENT !
of State College at OrangeLjrg
was the guest speaker Friday
night. Dr. WKittaker delivered one
of 'ie strongest and best addresses
that ever fell from human lips.
In group meetings, they would
take time to discuss "The Rivers"
that Dr. Whittaker emphasized in
his address. We would and could
I'ul educator and his address but
we have gone too far, treading ott
the pfficial reporter's grounds.
The speaker Friday night was
also good, but it appeared to us,
he shot so high that he missed
the mark and the objectives of
the Association.
A committee headed by Dr.- *
B. Reck, ot Georgetown appe ar >d
Detore the House of Delegates fn
interest of the 75 Years of Negro
Progress Exposition. Dr. Beck
was the spokesman and made a
wonderful impression. Principal
flightower, of Ridge Spring addressed
the Executive Board on
the same matter. President Bian
ton ruled that the House of Delegates
would take it up later, lust
before the House of; Delegates
dosed its final session, Young
Beck, of Georgetown brought . it
up again. A motion was made to
donate $.100.00; upon its adoption
several substitutes were offered
with six or seven men on tile fiuui
the chairman appeared to have
been confused and adjourned the
meeting without any donation.
When the chairman reali7>.-d what
had happened, he tried in vain to
tret them back in another meeting
But" failed. We hope s P; esident
Anderson and Bdrgess with their
committee will correct this mistake
which was not intentionally
done.
Officers
All honor to the newly elected
officials, they are good men and
women, and the Association will
continue to grow under their administration.
Our friend Mims
need not worry, he made a good
run and we will make him president
two years hence. '

School Children's
Forest Codes Issued
The State Forest Service has
secured a supply .of attractive certificates
showing the "School
Roys! and School Girls' Code for
South Carolina's Forests."
These certificates list thirteen
ways in which the school children
will cooperate in the prevention,
detection, and suppression o f
woods fires and in assisting othpi'B
Tl\ Hum, n panpiiw wppu i inl iTiTr
of the rconomi* and social values
and wild life which make up our
forests.
The ceryfuatcs will contain the
percentage of the students subscribing
to the code, the name of
the school, the name of their
teacher and at the bottom will be
dated antl signed by the Chairman
of the-State Commission of
Forestry, the State Forester at
LoluntDm and tin district foresters
in the dist.lets .where issued.
The ce: tif.c;Ue.> a 1*0 printed on a
good grade ol paper and are attractively
lithooKi anhed with an
wi naniciital green bolder. They
are eleven inches hv seventeen
inches and are hv'hly suitable for
framing.
School children of South Carolina
have a big stake in existing
forests but have a bigger stake
in the seed, small seedlings and
snplinrs uhi h nre frequently rlnstvoyed
by slow burning fires. The
seed, and- snail growth are frequently
not considered a loss by
the landowners or community but
small trees, ..like small children
soon grow up and need care and
protection if they are to be the
adults of the forests when the
children ave adults.
Most of the. certificates will be
issued in counties having organized
fire protection but a number
will be available from the district
offices for use in counties not upder
protection. Requests should be
made to the district foresters at
Aiken, Spartanburg, Camden.
Florence and Walterboro for certificates
or to the county ranger
in counties having organized .fire
protection.

Hello World:
I am speaking from Bradenton,
Fla. I was sorry that I coild
'-pvt. -to?>the -State- -T-aehws1
Association, but my health would
not allow, and too I had to make
contact with numbers of delegates
that wcr may To able to elevate
Dr D. Ward Nichols, to the Bishopric.
Dr. Potter expressed his
belief that Dr. Nichols will go in
on the first ballot.
For the last 30 days I)r. D.
Ward Nichols has become more
widely known than any other man
before General Conference. We
are pleading and begging for your
support that Dr. Nichols will be
elevated, we feel that we owe, it
to him. for his past work for the
church. And his father gave his
life as a pioneer for the great A.
M. E. Church. Let his son reap
some of the benefit. Dr. Moss of
Edward Waters college said in
Sarasota this morning that he believed
Rev. Miles, the candidate
from South Carolina, would go in
on the third ballot. Well I hope
Dr. Miles will go in on the second
ballot. - Since I am for Dr.
IX Ward Nichols I would like for
him to go in on the first ballot.
I am sure the readers would like
it because Dr. Nichols is a son of
South Carolina.
Remember the man that say
that it cannot be done is being
disturbed by someone doing it.
If anyone care to get in torch
with us within the next ten days
send mail to 214 10th Ave. Dr.,
Bradenton, Fla.
I am sure you will be surprised
to know Old Viv is planning to
get her divorce. She said after
Easter she doesn't need any husband.
It maybe that she feel
that we won't have another cold
winter.
So long,
Will be on the air next week
over Station PMLOC.
