Solicitor Bud Long Kept Promises { Continued From Page 1) up of State Line—a job well done. What has happened in the meantime in the criminal courts of Horry county? When Bud Long became so licitor, the dockets were jam med—badly jammed. It had been difficult to get assault and battery cases tried at all. And witnesses, many of them busy men whose time was valuable, were required to hang around the courthouse days on end awaiting the call ing of a case in which they were to testify. Today there are 33 cases on the docket of the Court of General Sessions and 27 on the docket of the Criminal Court of Horry. Most of the 1 General Sessions cases are be ing transferred to the county court docket and indications are it will be just about clean ed up at the conclusion of a special term which opens Nov. 25. Cleaning the dockets of the two courts has come through sheer, hard work on the part of Bud Long and in the face of an increasing load of work. In 1955. for example, there were only 191 true bills re turned by the Horry County Grand Jury. In the 1962 fiscal year there were 333. In term of March. 1963, a !one there were 145 new cas es: more than 100 in June; about 80 in the August special term: and about 80 in October. But an extra week of Gen eral Sessions court was ob tained in October of 1962, and much was accomplished in the regular sessions of March. June and October, 1963. There was a special term of county ! court in September of 1962. and much work was done in April and August of this year. Bud Long has not only worked haid during that time, but he apparently has worked well. The box score for the past fiscal year: Convictions 299 Acquittals 25 No bills of discontinued. . 12 For the previous year the records show: Convictions 191 Acquittals 24 No bills or discontinued . 67 What's so important about keeping the dockets of crimin al courts clear? A heap of reasons leap to mind as to why dockets should not be crowded: Where a long period of time elapses between arrest and trial, witnesses may die, move away or forget and the pro cesses of justice correspond ingly hampered. Witnesses weary of being called term after term and never getting a chance to test ify. But more important, says Bud Long, is the need for mak ing sure that the punishment of crime is speedy and certain. I don't have anything to do with the severity of sentences I passed by the courts. That's ' for the judges to decide. But I I do believe that even more J important than severity of sentence is the certainty of punishment and the speed of punishment. "When punishment comes certainly and speedily, others who might be tempted to do what the man on trial has done are more apt to stop and think and decide to stay clear of the courts," Long said. Testimony that Bud Long is doing a conscientious job comes from a number of sour ces: Said an Alcohol and Tobac co Tax Division Agent who, because of the nature of his work preferred to remain un named in any and all news stories, "Bud Long is doing a good job of prosecuting our cases," meaning liquor cases that for one reason or another wind up in state courts rather than in federal courts.

Women from these varied clubs served a covered dish supper, buffet style. The school cafeteria was beautifully de corated in a fall motif, with orange pumpkins and floral arrangements picking up browns, yellows and soft beig es to make a most colorful galaxy of hues. Surplus Food (Continued Prom Pace 1) much food per person or fami ly is received. A family of ten is the largest group for which rood is available. The amount of food receiv ed is based on income and the sire of the family. Fifty ap plications per day are predict ed from November through March of 1964. Unmarried women with ille getimate children are eligible if they maintain a household containing cooking facilities and are considered sole sup porters of these children. Teaching Program A Food Program started in collaboration with The County Board of Health and Welfare, will teach recipients of these food products to prepare and serve these foods in the best ways possible to gain the nu tritious benefits contained therein. "Too many of the people re ceiving this surplus food just didn't understand how to pre pare this food; therefore, it didn't turn out properly," Mrs. Wright said. During the entire month of November, Monday through Friday, except Nov. 11, there will be exhibit tables set up to show food recipients how to properly mix and measure the flour, and how to prepare certain dishes, such as Boston Baked Beans, using the dried peas; Spanish Rice, using dried rice and canned meat (a mixture of beef and pork hash) and cookies, utilizing the rolled oats. The corn meal is enriched, but the flour comes without baking powder or salt, so, one of the purposes of this month long demonstration is to teach the people appetizing and col orful ways to prepare this food by properly adding and mixing certain ingredients to enhance the flavor. Home Demonstration Club Leaders from each community in Columbus County, under the supervision of the County Home Agents will demonstrate how to properly measure and mix the dried milk, so that it will not lump: how to use the milk and powdered eggs in recipes for pies, cakes, pud dings, custards and in a high ly nutritious drink for the children, chocolate milk. The concern behind this demonstration has many fact ors, Statistics are startling as to how many people are re ceiving this aid and how much of this food was and is being thrown away due to lack of knowledge or ingenuity of how to best prepare these dried food products to derive the de sired results after cooking. When asked how they felt about receiving surplus foods, most of these folks answered they were either too old to work or lacked the ability to qualify for any type of work, thus they did not mind too much. However, most of them appeared to be shy and ill— at-ease when approached for questioning. Most were neatly dressed and agreed that the cooked food was very tasty and were anxious to see if they could follow the recipes which were given to them by the Club Leadeers and the Home Agents. They seemed to enjoy talking to club leaders and looking at the exhibits and were under the impres sion that the recipes and dem onstrations would be a great help to them in preparing more appetizing and edible meals at home. Twice a day fresh food will be brought in by these leaders, the hours will be from ten un til twelve O'clock noon, and from one until three o'clock in the afternoon. + PERSONALS + Mrs. Bryant Graham has returned home from James Walker Hospital where she has been a patient.
