Backed by over 400 years of his-tory, tradition and romance, 10ft-spoke- n South Carolina is still glam-orous and appealing. Consider for a moment that 90 per cent of the South Carolinians in the armed forces, when polled, indicated their Intention of returning to their na-tive state when they got out of uni-form I Though they had seen the world, they found nothing to lure them away from the Low country, the Up country, and the Piedmont lr between. South Carolina has had a glori-ous past. But also it has a future! It endured terrible years of Recon-struction following the War Between the States, and It was not until the turn of the century that order came out of chaos. Then South Carolina They overthrew the proprietary government and be-came a royal province under the king's charter. They finally revolted against the king himself, and be-came one of the 13 original Ameri-can colonies. They reasserted them-selves again in 1860, and there fol-lowed the Civil war. Through all the years, in massa-cre and war, through storm and fire, despite earthquake and pesti-lence, the people of South Carolina struggled on. They explored the wil-derness and located new towns and more plantations. They built roads through forests and swamps, and threw bridges across rivers and streams. They built houses of "tab- - by" a composition of crushed oys-ter shell and of thick hardwood logs. They spread out from the Low country to the Up country. They built for beauty and utility and discovered the dignity of life. "Charleston is the place where the Ashley and Cooper rivers meet to form the Atlantic ocean," is the traditional geography lesson of a Charleston child a lesson as sig-nificant as it is descriptive.

WILLIAMS Governor of South Carolina was aware of itself again, ready to cope with its problems in the light of progress. Each decade has seen improve-ment, and a further step toward the fulfillment of its destiny. South Caro-lina is vibrant with new life, new energies, and a will to progress. Wealth has been Introduced by tex-tile and other industries, including duced leisure, culture and a high responsibility of citizenship. They have drawn character from the land itself, and courage and integ-rity from their labors. More than 250 years of war-tor- n history have molded and tempered and strength-ened a people until they know their metal. Gloriously patriotic in World Wars I and II, South Carolina has fur-nished, fed and trained men for ev-ery battlefield in the world. Her heroes have followed Old Glory to the farthest ends of the earth, gath-ering Purple Hearts and battle stars and filling lonely graves. South Carolina's motto is Dum Spiro, Spero (While I Breathe I Hope); also, Animus Opibusque Parati (Prepared in Spirit and Wealth, or Ready with Minds and Resources), and at no time in her history have these phrases been more fitting than they are now. From the mountains to the sea, South Carolina has 31,055 square miles of inviting land! In the Low country. It was the Spanish settlement of San Miguel de Gualdape. Other Spaniards came, De Soto and Juan Pardo, to explore the Inte-rior about the Savannah river. Com-peting with the Spaniards were the French, who in 1562 briefly settled a body of Huguenots at Port Royal. None of these ventures endured, however, and it was left to the English to establish permanent set-tlements. Charles I in 1629 granted to Sir Robert Heath "all America from sea to sea between the 36th and 31st parallels of latitude under the name of Carolina." Even then the coun-try remained unexplored until 1663 when Charles II chartered the same territory to eight of his loyal friends. They became lord propri-etors of the province of Carolina. Ir March, 1670, the first settlement, consisting of 148 persons, was made at Albemarle Point and named Charles Town, the Charleston of Cavaliers and Puritans came from England to swell the popula-tion. The fame of Carolina sunshine spread, and the story of its fertile soil was repeated in many lands. From across the sea and from other American colonies they came, until there were Cavaliers, Puritans French Huguenots, Irish, Dutch and Germans. Many Quakers arrived early, and one of them, John Arch-lade- , served as governor of the province. Later more than a thou-sand suffering Acadians found a ref-uge and a home. Added to all these were the Negroes, bringing an un-suspected gift of rhythm, and fur-nishing the sinews for the struggle to build a new land. Like all colonists they brought with them old hatreds and differ-ences of class and creed. Some came for riches, some for adven-ture, others sought relief from re- - ligious persecution. They quarreled often among themselves, but stood together against any common enemy. They repulsed the attacking Indians and they fought off pirates from the coast. In 1718 at Charleston, 49 pirates swung from the gallows in one month, with 22 of them dangling there one day. They fought for the right of local Old grist mill, Anderson county plastics and chemicals. Soil reforestation, flood con-trol, hydro-electri- c development those are the projects of today. Agriculture has been spurred to new heights by scientific aids. Fields of cotton, corn, tobacco and peanuts still remain; but new crops have been added and more will come. And new industries too, for South Carolina is rich in natural re-sources, many of them as yet un-developed. "Open for business," South Caro-lina advertises, and points to ex-cellent highways, rail and water transportation, and main routes of airplane travel. Favored by a mild all-ye- climate, it beckons to those who want a home, pleasure, jobs, business, manufacturing, farming and a good life. More than 80 years before Vir-ginia was founded and over 90 years before the Puritans reached Massa-chusetts, a white settlement was founded on what is now Winyah bay Typical Low County road, Edisto Island.

WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. Since Good Friday, when you heard a President and an speaking on the same radio program, one In the White House, the other across the Atlantic In Egypt, yen have read and heard many other appeals in prepara-tion for a drive which will start shortly to get food to five hundred mil-lion starving men. women and chil-dren in Europe and Asia. The voluntary effort to cut down food consumption word of our officials. This will Rive to those who oppose our economic system the best weapon they have ever received. As fast as possible, we arc losing all the advantages gained by the success of arms. We are losing the peace much faster than at the close of World War I. The first great blow has been the food muddle. Others will pile up like a snowball. . . . "It appears that we will have to reduce the already Inadequate ra-tion for Berlin. This, of course, will give the Russians a strong talking point against the western powers when we cannot afford to sustain the 1,550-calori- e ration for the normal consumer." And so the path of our friend, the reporter from Izvestia, crosses that of the American official. Clearly we see the different segments of the picture which opponents of western democracy have sketched in no faint strokes across the troubled world. Yes, Indeed, food will write the peace! Poll, Show U. S. Ready to Sacrifice It Is interesting to note that the American people are perfectly will-ing to make sacrifices to send food to Europe. Two surveys were made by the University of Denver simply hasn't worked. It isn't that the people are un-willing. It's that there was no im-mediate way to cut down on our eating which seemed practical. And so a practical means of getting food in cans is to be tried, and its success will depend on the local vol-unteer organization in your commu-nity. The foods needed are milk (condensed, evaporated or dried), meat, fish, peanut butter, baby foods, baked beans, juices, stews, soups, honey, vegetables. I know that you have heard this before in detail. I hope you will National Research center, one of which showed that 68 per cent of those interviewed indicated their wish to resume rationing if neces-sary in order to send critical food abroad. Another survey by the same in-stitution showed that more than a third of the people (35 per cent) be-lieved that we should send food to Germany as a gift if she could not pay us for it. I believe that if a similar poll were taken in regard to feeding Japan, the results would be approximately the same. . . . Gardens Grow On Skyscrapers People have their roots in the soil even when they live 20 stories above asphalt pavements. I had that brought forcibly to mind as I leaned over the wall of a wide terrace of a penthouse garden high above Park avenue. New York. hear it again, with further details, but perhaps you don't realize what you and the United States can get in return for the food we send out, and what we may lose if starvation becomes widespread. The whole question Is pointed up In a displayed dispatch from Moscow to which an official called my attention last week. It was a statement made by a correspondent of the Soviet paper Izvestia, who had been touring the American zone in Germany. "The food stuff difficulties which forced lowering of rations (in the American zone)," the correspondent wrote, "are explaiiud, in my view, not so much by the absence of pro-ductive districts as by a lack of order and distribution of agricul-tural products." Then he went on to explain that the big tttatel had not been broken up, as they were in the Russian zone. Hunger Used as Political Weapon As I looked to the right and the left, everywhere I saw fresh green edging other walls like the one against which I was leaning; and below me, I could glimpse neat gar-dens already sprouting cheerfully in the first warm spring sun. There was a vine spreading over one wall; higher up were tall trees bursting into leaf. Tall, I say the tops were some 300 feet above the pavement, if only some 15 feet above their elevated roots. 1 saw one old man in a battered straw hat, his trowel laid aside and the evidence of his industry in a row of little pine trees in neatly painted tubs. He was resting in a garden chair, a little fountain play-ing in the wall beside him, and a neat privet hedge for his skyline. Farther away was a real achieve-ment a lawn at least 50 feet square with tulips blossoming along a neat walk that led to nowhere. Rebuild Mexican Agriculture This criticism, which I think in-vestigation will prove to be exceed-ingly biased and unfair, reveals how food, or the lack of it, is serving and can serve as a weapon to stir up discontent and to bring the west-ern countries into disrepute and dis-favor. Revolution follows hunger just as surely as hunger follows war. As a matter of fact, one of the most efficient organizations in the American military zone of Germany is the agency which distributes food. Working closely with it is another highly efficient American agency which the British have used as a model in their zone the health and sanitation division. However, there is a food shortage in Germany, just as there is" in the rest of Europe. The effects are the same everywhere, and Germany serves as an excellent example of the political effects of a good short-age. There, the American authori-ties can accurately check on what is going on since the military gov-ernment is so closely tied in to ev-ery phase of the daily lives of the Through the building ol modern, comfortable homes for rural work-ers, the improvement of farm land and introduction of mechanized farm equipment, a general plan for the rehabilitation of Mexican agri-culture has been initiated. One hun-dred model farms have been com-pleted in the district of Topilejo, with means for working the land in modern and eflicient manner. A model school and home for teachers also have been built. To create in each center of popu-lation a permanent board which will consider the respective problems of farmers, livestock raisers, business men, industrialists and artisans. To promote undertakings for the manufacture or sale of modern implements of agriculture. To distribute by credit individual-ly, to towns, or to areas, modern farm tools, necessary technical di-rection, selected seeds and ferti-lizer. To promote and organize private capital for the creation of small in-stitutions that will dedicate them-selves tc the maintenance of rural credit as the only logical means for agricultural development.

Recently a military government oflicial in Germany wrote to me: "No slogan was ever truer than Food will win the war and write the peace.' " We are about to sit down at the peace table with Italy. Russia prob-ably will not be present. But the food that Italy does not have may affect the validity of that peace treaty. A revealing comment on how this works was appended to a report made shortly after the British were forced to drop to a 1,000-calori- e scale and coal production dropped approximately 20 per cent. This was the comment: "Heavy workers are dropping at their work and food riots have al-ready taken place. If this ration is not raised soon, there will be no coal; without coal there will be no transportation; without coal and transportation, there will be no processing of food from indigenous resources. . . .

Americans who have recently re-turned from Spain inform us that the Spanish undergrounders have launched a campaign of ridicule similar to the one that flourished in Germany when Hitler was in pow-er. Frixample: Night after night the walls in an industrial section of Madrid are daubed with anti-fasci-inscriptions. In vain the Spanish soldiers hunted for the authors of this outrage. One day, a tired and enraged soldier wrote under one of the slogans on the wall: "Why don't you do it in broad daylight, you cowards?"

The Tibetans, I am told, consider the Western races ugly, because, instead of a nice, modest little proboscis in the middle of their faces, they have what one Tibetan described as "the spout of a teapot turned upside down." More wartime slaughtering con-trols will be enforced to check the meat black market. But black mar-ket slaughtering is never con-trolled. All it takes is a tree, a rope, a cow and a knife.
