RIBKNSTFIVS 1IAVK THREE SONS IN SERVICE DAVID RULENSTF.LN volunteered for service- in Naval i it i With Dedicated Men and I Corner In (By a Plain Country Woman) Yes, it was right cold that morning. You see, I had come in on the school Hus because Hiram (he's my husband) was using Sally, the Ford. As 1 was saying, it was cold and crisp that January morning as I stood on a street corner and looked at the American Way of Life. Down the street came a young man, probably twentish', well-dressed, without being a sissy, head up, shoulders back, every motion of that splendid, lean body showing self-assurance, quiet nerve muscles under perfect control.

From another direction approached another young man, equally attractive in clean overalls. He, too, walked proudly erect as God intended man to do, and he could look the whole world in the lace, for he owed not any man at least not alter the 15th when the last of his debt would be paid in full- then he would begin on that bond he had been promising himself. Close behind him came another a negro man of forty or thereabouts, walking with easy-grace and radiating an even greater joy in life unci the early morning splendor. Nothing boastful, yet nothing furtive, in this son of the South, who know he enjoyed equal rights on the streets of this city. Just as I awoke lrom my mus- of the state's most important.

The city also is the center of extensive lumber operations in (which many farmers participate. Veneer and panel plants are im-portant industrial factors, Livestock development in Or- angeburg county has accelerated Jin recent years, and a dairy in-jdustry is growing in Orangeburg, The county is a noted producer of sweet potatoes and grows considerable grain. Pecan orchards abound throughout flic territory. Orangeburg is governed by a commission of three men Mayor Walker and Couneilmen H. H.

Walker and his council, and their predecessors, have done CAROLINA 0 I) A cCvcatcaa, TCatie The rippling, mirthful Story of a Girl on her Honeymoon with a Celebration In This City In the January issue of The Southern City, a monthly publication which circulates among municipal officials of the South, there appears an article dealing wdth the "Farming For Victory'' observance here on Dec. 2nd, last. The article is as follows: ORANGEBURG FOR VICTORY Orangeburg is the cultural and commercial mecea of 100,000 South Carolina farmers.

It is the center of a fertile area, in the flat valley of the Edisto River, in the lower center of South Carolina. It owes its existence to the farmer, Orangeburgers haven't forgotten their dependence. Last month (on December 2) in an enormous "Farming For Victory" celebration in homage to the men of the farms, Orangeburg had a parade, heard a day full of speeches, set a national precedent, and established a model for similar events which the U. S. Department of Agriculture will sponsor in communities throughout the Nation.

The big celebration, according to Orangeburg's Clerk Treasurer L. F. Theiling (who told the story to Southern City), was attended by many high ranking state and rational officials who joined some 20,000 city folks and farmers "to give deserved recognition to the part agriculture is playing in winning the war." Top spot of the day, said Theiling, was the presentation of "symbolic" certificates of award of merit to several hundred farmers "for individual achievements in producing food for victory." Principal speaker was Alabama's farm minded Senator John II. Bankhead. Other addresses were by the state's biggest big-shots: S.

Senators Burnet R. Maybnnk and E. D. (Cotton Ed) Smith. South Carolina's Governor Richard M.

Jefferies. State Agricultural Commissioner J. Roy Jones, Orangeburg's 2nd District Congressman J. H. Fuhner.

An admiral's representative and a major general spoke for the Navy and the Army, and the Department of Agriculture had its repi esentative. Dozens of distinguished guests were introduced; chiefs of practi- cally every state department, the members of South Carolina house and senate, heads of federal agen- cies. agricultural leaders. The two-mile parade five bands including two from the military and naval services, military and CD units, civic clubs antl many floats led the may. A picnic dinner and athletic contest for the farmers and their friends topped off the day's events.

The successful celebration. Mr. Theiling said, was the result ol close planning by city officials, a local committee, and the state department of agriculture. Orangeburg's Mayor Arthur C. Walker was one of the spark plugs and Clerk Theiling was the committee's treasurer.

The Department oT Agriculture L. S. Wolfe was secretary of the general committee. Orangeburg has been predominantly agricultural ever since its founding in the early 1700's. Most of its 15,000 citizens and suburbanites are indirectly dependent upon the farms.

The city's major industries are cotton and cord mills, a meat -packing plant and a vegetable cannery. Its cooperative hog marketing association sells more hogs than any other organization in the state. It's cotton market is one i i i 1 I I man no ner husband and, worse yel, the one who is!

Before I could cry out, a faithful policeman sprang, out and literally swept the youngsters back with his outstretched arms. He spoke sternly to the near-victims of a tragedy, yet into his eyes came such a loving look of concern.

Quick tears blurred my vision. the sun passed behind a dark cloud and 1 seemed to see another town, another street and other peoples. An old man, clothed in rags, crawled upon the ground. Fear was depicted in every line, every motion of his body. Often he raised his head to lower it suddenly as a scowling Gestapo, standing near, shot just over the shrinking figure.

Finally the pitiful object reached his destination, a post office, to see if by any happy chance there might be a letter containing some relief from an insufferable position. These are true pictures, my friends. One to be seen any day on the streets of Orangeburg; the other to be seen only beyond the seas. Why? There are just four reasons why: The Army, the Navy, the Marines, and the Air Corps, of the greatest nation upon earth. God Bless America.

Scores of instructors, officers and air school personnel live in the city. Housing facilities have been overtaxed, though now a number of defense houses are being erected.

Rent rates, however, have remained reasonable. Orangeburg foresaw probabilities of a health problem, owing to the concentrations of population in their community, and have already taken steps to prevent disease. Orangeburg's city wide program to destroy rats and mice, the eliminate the risk of typhus, was one of the first of its type. The city health department ness area and removed many old buildings and other breeding places. Property owners bore the expenses of the campaign.

During the past 25 years of commission government, the city's finances have been handled in a business-like manner. The municipally owned water and light plant turns a handsome profit into the city treasurry.

The large scale development of parks and playgrounds has been financed mainly with utility profits. The electric system also serves a large rural area at low rates.
