For Jaycee Wives A Word Of Warning The Rock Hill Junior Chamber of Commerce is considering a special award for some Jaycee wife. Stripped to the bone, this is it: To the Jaycee wife who is most understanding and tolerant of her husband's time away from home for chapter meetings, committee meetings and civic projects will go a loving cup. Right-side-up that little proposition sounds all right. Isn't the Junior Chamber of Commerce an outstanding civic organization? And shouldn't a wife appreciate her husband's interest in Jaycee activities? Sure. Sure.
Now turn the idea over, slow-like, in your mind. We can hear any number of our Jaycee friends calling a committee meeting: "Bob, we're gonna hold a meeting of the recreation committee at my house -er, by the way, can you bring your chips?" Bob's wife doesn't protest. She's got that loving cup in mind. The Junior Chamber is a splendid, hard-working outfit. And its members are all public spirited fellows.
But they're human. Smart, too. They know what they could do with a promise of that loving cup. To the wives we say it's only fair to be tolerant of your husband's civic-mindedness. But don't sacrifice your right to put your foot down for a try at a loving (loving?) cup.
After all, wouldn't the winner also inherit the title of the wife-who-has-spent-most-time-by-herself? By Any Other Name "A fanatic," says Winston Churchill, "is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." We thought that was a politician. Fair Freight Rates The South has won one fight with the North. It's going to get equal freight rates. Friday of this week a uniform system of classification of freight will go into effect, ending a 13-year-old battle begun in 1939 at the Southern Governors' Conference. Discriminatory rates in the South have been in force about as long as the railroads have been in operation.
But now the Interstate Commerce Commission, throwing out many protests of the new rate structure, has put the South on a par with the North railroad-wise. The step, of course, is long overdue. Unfair rates have cost Southern shippers millions of dollars. Now, thank goodness, they can do business without the penalty of an antiquated, unfair freight rate system. Other Folks Say.
Does a Curve Curve? A new and awesome electronic calculator says a common baseball, of the shape baseballs are supposed to be, weighing what official baseballs are supposed to weigh, propelled at the speed and with the spin any good pitcher can put on it, actually curves. All of which may appear as merely superscientific laboring of the obvious to several millions who have (a) sat behind the plate anywhere from the Polo Grounds to Sportsman's Park or (b) fanned the air with a willow themselves. But some surprisingly few will recall the stroboscopic pictures in Life magazine 11 years ago which showed that Carl Hubbell's and Cy Blanton's best twisters didn't curve at all just dropped. There they were: A string of white circles right down a straight chalk line. No optical illusion here.
A camera can't lie or can it? Anyhow, if two marvels of technology are going to stand up and call each other liars, why not seize the baseball by the seams and see if it won't curve around something solid? The answer is, it's already been done long ago. Sporting News (baseball's fountainhead of knowledge) says star pitcher Fred Goldsmith did it eight times in 1870. He and a catcher stood on the same side of a line of three stakes. The ball left the pitcher's hand to the left of the first stake, traveled to the right of the second and smacked into the catcher's hands (no mitts then) at the left of the third. Bill Posedel and Lenny Levy did it again in 1950.
Who's right? Well anyone who has twisted himself into a pretzel as he swung at a big "round house" and missed for the third strike knows that if that curve was an optical illusion then his bat had an invisible hole in it. Christian Science Monitor. Not Interested 'The politician returned from a big campaign speech. "Well, how did the audience receive your statement that you'd never bought a vote?" "Well, about a dozen cheered, a couple hundred seemed to lose interest in the speech and about fifty just got up and walked out." Fernandina, News-Leader.

I Better Hurry, Son, Time's A-Wastin'! I ThE I KNEW WHAT TO CAMPAIGN SHUCKS! I WISH DO ABOUT THIS FELLA! CORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENT DETERGENT, WIN Report From Washington Kefauver Builds Up Record In Taking Stand On All Questions By PETER EDSON WASHINGTON (NEA)- In the first 100 days of his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee visited in 25 states, entered 10 primaries, made 30 major addresses at least 300 whistlestop talks, had been on radio or TV once or twice a day and had shaken 117.459 hands.
Or some such number. Anyway, slowly but steadily the tall Tennessean has been building up a record of where he stands on every single issue. To Washington political writers this is somewhat remarkable because they never considered him wired for sound. Even when his Senate crime investigation was going full tilt, information out of him tough. He dragging, was always soft-spoken and shy to the point of seeming embarrassed during an interview.
This has caused some doubts about what kind of a president he might make. He has had little or no executive experience, When congressional votes have been counted. Kefauver has usually been found on the side of the peepul- for progressive and liberal reform rather than reaction. He has not voted the straight New Deal Democratic line. He has changed his mind on some issues.
opponents say this is sign of weakness. His supporters say it proves that where the has found himself in the wrong, he has admitted it. senator Thus while Senator Kefauver first voted against the Taft-Hartley act, he says now he would not repeal it, but would amend it to limit use of injunctions and modity the flat closed shop ban. Senator Kefauver has been critical of President Truman for his seizure of the steel mills to prevent a strike. Brannon Farm Plan The senator has also differed with the President on the administration's Brannan farm plan.
Kefauver supports the farm price support program, however, and he favors a higher parity level to include the farmer's own labor in computing production costs. Kefauver has likewise opposed compulsory health insurance. But he is in favor of more federal aid for hospital construction and the training of more doctors. He is for more federal aid to general education, too. In this connection.
Kefauver favors Sen. Lister Hill's bill to allocate oil royalties from federally-owned tidelands for education. Senator Kefauver was absent when the last Senate vote was taken on returning tidelands to state ownership. If present he would have voted for federal ownership. The two issues on which Senator Kefauver was hardest hit by Sen.
Richard Russell during the Florida primary campaign were his civil rights stand and his past sponsorship of "Atlantic Union." Frankly, Senator Kefauver does A little fence-straddling on civil rights. He is opposed to Senate filibustering to prevent a vote on the issue. In Tennessee he has supported a state law to ban the poll tax. He thinks this question and fair employment practices can best be handled by voluntary action in the states. If the Democratic platform written at Chicago calls for a nent FEPC.
however, Senator Ke. fauver says he'll support it. This is obviously a stand intended to please both North and deep South. Aid To Europe Senator Kefauver insists he is not for Clarence Streit's "Union Now" I LOOKING BACKWARD are in Rock for summer vacation. May 28, 1932 Mr.
