But, Mr. Helms, Mr. Slear and
the young ladies in the office are
always ready and anxious to ren

Most of the matters in which visit

try to have someone familiar with

TWO PROBLEMS
We are now working on two mat
ters of considerable interest to bur
State. One concerns the proposed
expansion of Fort Bragg. The oth
er concerns the Blue Ridge Park
way.
The people of Hoke County have
been greatly disturbed by the
Army's announced plans to take
over 50,000 acres of their land to
establish a corridor between Fort
Bragg and Camp Mackall. It is
agreed by everybody that such a
move would destroy Hoke County
as a unit of government. In addi
tion, the State's tuberculosis sani
torium at McCain would be ren-j
dcred virtually useless in the opin
ion of the officials connected with
the institution.
The booming of the big guns j
near the hospital would not, they !
say, be conducive to the rapid re
covery of tubercular patients.
Since it would cost about $15 mil
lion to replace the hospital, Gov
ernor Umstead and the State Legis
lature feel- -thai the government
ought to make some provision for
moving the hospital to some other
section of the State.
I have requested that our people
be given an opportunity to appear
before the Senate Armed Serv
ices Committee to state our case
before this plan is approved. I
.have been assured by the commit
tee that such a hearing will be con
H-BOMB Workers Solve
Housing With Trailers
A JETS-EYE VIEW of Trailervllle, S. C.
AP Newsfeatures
NEW ELLENTON, S. C ?Trail
ers play a big part in the develop
ment of the U. S. hydrogen-bomb
here. It has been estimated that
more than 10,000 house trailers
are parked in the area. They are
occupied mostly by workers in the
project and subsidiary industries.
In many instances, the people
who live in them have removed
the wheels and installed water
and sewer lines. Many of them
have radios, TV sets or both.
Reason for the trailers starts
with the fact that this corner of
South Carolina is sparsely settled.
They were brought in to supply
quick housing for the workers.
An estimated fi.000 of the trail
ers are owned by the workers
themselves. These families brought
their homes with them when they
came to work on the project. For
the most part, they are parked in
about 130 privately operated trail
er parks. In most Instances the
workers brought their families
along with their homes. Many of
them are the property of construc
tion workers who have found hous
ing. on cpnstrqction projects, dliti
dueted Also we probably w ill ap-1
pear before the Senate Military
Appropriations subcommittee.
As for the Blue Ridge Parkway, |
cult and who have therefore ar
ranged to supply their own. These
families are used to trailer living.
Another group of workers is
housed in four huge rental trailer
parks. For them, trailer living
often is a new experience. In
these big parks a trailer rents for
$60 a month. The units contain a
living room-dinette, a bedroom, a
kitchen and a bath. It will sleep
four. The kitchens are complete
with range and refrigerator and
the bathrooms have showers.
The availability of trailers for
rent helps recruit workers, the
AEC has found. The housing
headache here has been facpd on
other government projects. It has
been found that having his family
with him helps a worker's morale.
The parks here are all operated by
private companies or firms. An
estimated 39,000 construction work
ers have been housed. Many of
them are expected to be needed
for the next there years.
The trailers have helped reduce
the need for big government towns
such as were built at Osk Ridge.

British Tradition In
U.S. Strong, Expert Sayi
B> JANE EAU>
WASHINGTON iAP>?Dr Louis
B. Wright, director of the Folger
Shakespeare Library here, '.aid he
was going to celebrate the 389th
anniversary of Shakespeare's birth
by talking about British tradition
in the U.S.
Americans should be interested
in the subject, he said?"Much that
we take for granted today as 100
per cent Americanism is a direct
inheritance from the British
this tradition, which gave us our
language, our concept of iaw. our
fundamental code of ethics and
morals and many of our manners
and customs, has persisted from the
first settlement of America."
"Some Englishmen will main
tain, of course, that Americans ac
tually speak a different language."
he said, "but they ought to remem
ber we have retained many vigor
ous words and colorful usages
which the pallid and elegant gram
marians of the Victorian period
threw out in England. Th?se 'Am
ericanisms' are often excellent us
ages preserved from the past and
have better genealogies than many
new-hatched words in England."
Dr. Wright pointed out that Am
ericans also took over English liter
ature as their own and have vastly
profited from it. Shakespeare has
been read by millions of Americans,
he added in the way of example,
and they have received not only
"esthetic enjoyment hut a great
deal of moral instruction."
"Indeed, we Anglo-Saxons have
sucked morality from our litera
ture as a hoe sucks honey from
sundry flowers," he said, pointing
out that Shakespeare was perform
ed and read on the American fron
tier long before many of the ele
ments of civilized life reached the
wilderness.
"Even more influential on Ameri
can ideas and literary style was the
King James version of the Bible,
a book which pioneers frequently
carried in their luggage and earn
estly read."
Households which had no other
reading matter provided a literary
education for their children out of
the Bible, Dr. Wright said, and
prairie politicians quoted it and
Shakespeare to prove their eligibil
ity for office. Country editors orna
mooted their newspapers with it;
passages.
