Good roads and a State-wide high
way system for South Carolina was an
the principle activity of the- South
Carolina Landowners Association, dis- ca
cussed at the meeting of th, execu- la
tive committee yesteroay afternoon. 3.
Mr. Neils Christensen, president of 4.
the association, in his opening re- wi
marks, directed attention to the urg- pr
ent need for immediate action in a1
starting the State-wide movement.
Following his suggestion, preliminary by
clans were outlined in order that the .
big campaign might be launched at
the earliest possible date. It devel
oped at the meeting that considerable
work toward a State-wide campaign
by the association and its affiliations
had already been accomplished.
f The association committee which
went to Baltimore and Washington to
confer with federal department and
I the officials of the other landowners'
associations affiliated with the South
ern Settlement and Development Or
ganization, reported through its chair
man and a copy of the Mordell bill
providing legislation and appropria
tion of funds for soldier settlements
was read It was reported at the
I meeting .hat this bill would more
than likely be passed by Congress
within the next few weeks. The
South Carolina Soldier Settlement
I Committee appointed by Governor
Cooper has made its report to the
i consulting Engineer, II. T. Cory, of
I the United States Reclamation Ser
vice and as soon as Congress enacts
the legislation, this State will be
ready to take up its share of the
work.
This State has made a record in
1 the rapid growth of its landowners'
I association, as its books show that
the membership has a daily average
aaddition greater than any other State
association. Last week Beaufort
County turned in a large number of
new members and the reports from
I workers in Hampton County so far
this week indicate great progress
The Manager Geo. R. Wheeler, said
that prominent landowners. of Barn
well and Clarendon counties, have
i reported to his office arrangements
I made for mass meetings to be held in
June. He also said that a meeting
would be held in Walterboro next
week.
Messrs. W. H. Andrews, of An
drews: J. L. Coker, of Hartsville:
Robert Lathan, of Charleston, and
Niels Christensen, of Beaufort, mem
bers of the executive committee, and
the association Manager Mr. Wheeler,
attended the meetinq and other ac
tivities of the organization were dis
cussed. Better schools, sanitation
a.nd land settlement plans were out
lined.
FILIPINO PROVERBS
By Jorge Bocobe, Member of the
I Philippine Mission, and Dean, Col
lege of Law, University of the
Philippines.
Washington, May 31 .-The longing.
of the Filipino people for i'ndepend
ence is nourished by a very deep and
1 earnest desire to develop their own
individuality al a nation. When the
Spaniards came, the Filipinos already
had a culture of their own. Almost
every Filipino could read and write.
Although Spanish civilization has
greatly influenced the Filipinos, and
although the young generation is be
neeuated in American ideas, yet
Filipino culture remains at bottom n
digenous. It is the unfolding of this
solofte Filipino race that justifies
the long-standing fight of my people

3of mouth from generation to genera
tion. I have picked the following
Filipino proverbs at random from my
collection of several hundred, which
were obtained fronm actual conversa
rtion with Filipinos, mostly old men.
II have translated them from the
1Philippine language as closely as pos
silthus preserving not only the
3 ense but also the mode of expres
3sion. Lord Bacon said: "The genius,
wiadspirit of a nation are dis
coee in its proverbs.'' Knowledge
of Filipino' proverbs therefore gives
an insight into the psychology of the
Filipino race.

The Filipinos are not a hermit na

whatever they thought was good for
them and suitable to their conditions.
But above these outside influences
they want their national genius to
rise and reach higher levels of per
fection. It is thus, and only thus, that
they can fulfill whatever destiny Prov
idence has set for them, and con
tribute their own culture to the gen
eral progress of mankind. A chance
to do so is what they wish when they
Ilead for independence.
