Americas farm program,

tor, said here.
In an interview that touch
ed on a large number Of farm
related topics, Msgr. Luigi G.
Ligutti offered a critical an
alysis of the price support
program, of the current agita-
ton for moving marginal
producers" off the land, and
of administrative practices in

f'The farmers are producing
a great abundance of goods
too much, the government
says" he said. so the gov
eminent enters the market,
buys some of these goods, and
puts them away. 1t costs ST
million a day just to store this
surplus as they call it, not to
speak of the cost of buying it.
Because these goods are
taken off the market. natural.
ly prices are higher. So what
does this mean? II means that
we are paying taxes SO that.
we can pay higher prices for
our food. What is the sense in
fhis?"
He was asked about the ef-
feet on the farmer of suspend,
ing price supports.
Naturally, the Rural Life
Conference does not mean
that the farmer should be left
at the mercy of the market,
when he has so little control
over it. We simply oppose
the illogical and doubly ex-
pensive system now being u.s.
ed to give the farmer a fair
return" the Monsignor said.
A better way to accomplish
this end, he suggested, would
be to let the farmer produce
what he wants to and market
it without controls. The farm
er would then receive, direct
ly from the government, the
difference between the cost
of production and a reason
able" rate of return on his
investment and labor. Such a
plan would bring an immedi.

Divers Fail
To Find Guns

Thursday afternoon.
An area OF approximately 200
square feet, roughly covering the
known location of the wrcckagc.
was thoroughly Searchd but mol
trace of the guns was found.
Several explanations have been
suggested for this. II is possibleI
that the guns were removed be-
fore the ship was Scuttlcd but
this is Contradicted by the known.
facts surrounding the sinking of
the vessel. The guns may have
been spiked and jcttiSoncd prior
to the final destruction of the
Pee Dee. IN which case they
would probably be located farth-.
or upstream. The third cxplana-'
ton is the Scuttling site may.
have been farthct upstream from
the known site of the wrcckagcI
and the guns may have fallen.
clear of the ship when IT capsiz-.

The scope Of the operation was

was also limited by the number.

Brings Need For
Extra Safety

It's back to school" this week
for thousands Of South Carolina
youngsters as school bells signal
y the beginning of new
school year sound throughout
the Palmetto State.
School openings began last
week and by Friday of this week
the majority of our schools will
again be in operation, bringing
with them the joint responsible
ity that all drivers share with
school officials for the safety OF
pupils from kindergarten thro-
Hh high school age.
Automobile and truck driv-
ers must take extra precaution
in areas where school children
are walking, playing, crossing
the streets, getting on and off
school buses, or riding bicycles, -

continuing, he advised: par
ents TO teach their children to
cross only at cross walks and at
intersections and only on the
green light, to obey their school
safety patrolman, and above all,
not to play in the streets
Children with bicycles should
be taught to ride only on the
right side of the street, and to
ride only in single file, to give
hstd signals letting automobile
drivers know what they are
planning to do, and to obey all
traffic rules just as drivers are
required to do. Never hitch on
to a moving vehicle and avoid
riding at night.
If your children depend on a
school bus for their daily trans
portation, they should be taught
to wait until the bus comes to
aHomplete stop before getting
on or off; to wait until the bus
driver signals it's safe before
entering or crossing the road
way: to refrain from talking to
the driver when the bus is in
motion; to remain in their seats
