MacLaren School
Population Shows
Significant Drop
Salem - (DPI) - The inmate
population at MacLaren
School for Boys has "signifi
cantly decreased", in the past
two years, the Legislative Fis
cal Conference has been told,
and one reason is that foster
and group home placements
have quadrupled.
The average number . of
boys in 1957-59 was "304 and
in this biennium it is 281. The
current budget provides for a
maximum of 400. '
' MacLaren Supt. Amos Reed
said along with the place
ments, other factors are in
creased population at Mac
Laren's two work camps on
the coast and a reduction in
commitments.
Marjorie McBride, superin
tendent of Hillcrest some
times has more staff mem
bers than inmates. At pres
ent there are 142 girls and
120 staff members.
Freer Atmosphere
She explained that Hill
crest's intent is to provide a
"freer" atmosphere and this
calls for three shifts of ma
tron a day on a 24-hour basis.
Also, Hillcrest takes care of
its own parole duties through
out the state.
Ralph Miner of the Finance
Department explained that un
der the governor's new bud
get, psychiatric and chaplain
services at Hillcrest would be
doubled.
Miner said the major pro
grams in the budget are $800,
000 for a separate women's
prison and a new vocational
building at the state correc
tional institution.
The prison would initially
house 60 to 70 women and be
built at the extreme south end
of Fairview home, near Sa
lem. Women prisoners are now
housed in the state prison.

CIVIL WAR
IT
PEOPLE WENT WILD South Carolina
seceded from the Union on Dec. 20, 1860.
The city and its people, long in favor of this
disunion, went wild. Church bells were
rung, cannon fired and business throughout
the city was supended. The day so many
had waited and hoped for had finally come.
This drawing shows a typical scene in,
Charleston just before the secession. Troops
are marching in a parade while citizens
cheer them on from the street, left fore

South Carolina Quits Union
By MERTON T. AKERS
UPI Correspondent
The Charleston Mercury
blazoned the news:
"The Union Is Dissolved."
South Carolina had seceded,
the first crack in a nation in
its four score and four years
of being.
The- decision was unani
mous, 169 yeas, nays none. It
came at 1:15 p.m. Dec. 20,
1860.
The resolution, called an
Ordinance of Secession, stated
in full:
"We, the people of South
Carolina in convention assem-

Smallpox Epidemic Develops
Three days before in Co
lumbia, the capital, the dele
gates had met under the chair
manship of David Flavel Jam
ison, owner of 2.000 acres
and 70 slaves. A slight hitch
developed at the outset when
is was found that the state
law required the delegates
must take an oath of alleg
iance to the United Stales.
But that finally was waived.
Then the subject of a small
pox epidemic in Columbia
came up and the delegates de
cided to adjourn to Charles
ton the next day.
One delegate resented the
move.
"It will be asked on all
sides is this the chivalry of
South Carolina? They are pre
pared to face the world but
they run away from the small
pox?" queried William Por
cher Miles a South Carolina
Congressman doubling as a
secessionist delegate. But they
went on to Charleston.
On Dec. 19 they debated on
procedure. Then the delegates
were ready to act.
Prayer Precedes Action j
One Northerner wearing the '
blue uniform of the U.S. Army
was in the audience in Insti- j
tute Hall on Meeting St., Dr. j
Samuel Wylie Crawford, a j
surgeon of , the U.S. Army
stationed at Fort Moultrie, the
only doctor in Maj. Ander
son's pitiful Union command
He wrote:
The convention opened
with a prayer to God. It was
understood that the committee
was ready to report the Ordi- j
nance of Secession and that 1
it would pass that day. There ;
was no visible sign that the
Commonwealth of South Caro
lina was about to take a step
more momentous for weal or
woe than had yet been known
in her hitory. Chancellor Ing-
lis of Chesterfield, the chair
man of the committee to re
port an Ordinance of Seces
sion, then arose and called the
attention of the president. Si
lence pervaded the assem
blage as every eye turned on
the speaker. Addressing the
chair, he said that the com
mittee would best meet the
exigencies of the occasion by
expressing in the fewest and
simplest words all that was
necessary to effect the end
proposed."
Starts Celebration
The chairman read the or
dinance, the question was put
and the deed done.
The proclamation touched
off a celebration which Sur
geon Crawford, USA, described:
"At once the whole audi
ence broke into a storm of
cheers: the ladies joined in
the demonstrations; a rush
was made to secure memen
toes of the occasion. Outside,
the whole city was wild with
excitement as the news spread
liker wildfire through the
-streets. Business was suspend.

Los Angeles - (UPD - Other
than having done the hula at
Billy Rose's Diamond Horse
shoe, standing six feet tall in
her stocking feet and owning
a business that earns $250,
000 a year, there's nothing
too unique about Miss Dolly
Dahle.
Dolly, 34, owns Publishing
Production Service, Inc., an
outfit that produces technical
manuals, classified reports,
government contract propos
als, house organ releases and
the like for such industrial
"names" as Hughes, Convair,
North America, Douglas and
Lockheed. .
The beautiful and unmar
ried Miss Dahle (rhymes with
mail) is quite a contrast to the
public's image of the obese
business executive with a
copy of the Wall Street Jour
nal in one hand and a fork
in the other
Launched in 1S55
She launched her firm in
1955, borrowing $600 from
her mother and banking on ex
perience gained as a produc
tion supervisor at H. L. Yoh
ed everywhere; the peafs of
church bells, mingling with
salvos of artillery from the
Citadel. Old men ran shout
ing down the streets. Every
one entitled to it appeared at
once in a uniform. In less than
15 minutes after its passage
the principal newspaper of
Charleston had Placed in the
hands of the eager multitude
a copy of the Ordinance of
Secession. (The Mercury sold
6,000 copies of the extra.) Pri
vate residences were illumi
nated, while military organi
zations marched in every di
rection, the music of their
bands lost amid the shouts of
the people . . . The heart of
the people had spoken." i
Dissenter Speaks
Few South Carolinians
questioned the action, except
old Judge J. L. Pettigru, a
Unionist throughout the clam
or of secession. These are his
words:
"South Carolina is too small
for a republic and too big for
a lunatic asylum."
In Washington, President
Buchanan was attending a
wedding when the news came.
The wife of a Virginia con-!
gressman, Mrs. Roger Pryor,
described the scene: '
"The President was seated1
in an armchair and I stood
behind him. Presently he
looked over his shoulder and
said: 'Madam, do you suppose
the house is on fire? I hear
unusual commotion.'
"I went out and there I
found Mr.' Lawrence Keitl,
member (of - Congress) from
South Carolina, leaping in the
air, shaking a paper over his
head, exclaiming, 'Thank
God! Oh thank God! South
Carolina has seceded!'. I re
turned, and bending over Mr.
Buchanan's chair, said in a
low voice: 'It appears, Mr.
President, . that South Caro
lina has seceded from the
Union.' He looked at me,
stunned for a moment..;
"Falling back and grasp
ing the arms of his chair, he
whispered: 'Madam might I
beg of you to have my car
riage called?' There was no
more thought of bride, bride
groom, wedding cake or
wedding breakfast."
Aide Arrives Late
Another Northerner was in
Charleston that day, Caleb
Cushing of Massachusetts. He
had been sent by President
Buchanan to try to keep South
Carolina in the Union. He ar
rived on the morning of Dec.
20, saw Gov. Francis Pickens,
who had succeeded ' Henry
Gist, just in time to learn
that secession was a fact. In-,
viled to,the proclamation cere
mony, he refused, went back
to his hotel and took the next
train back to Washington. '
On that Dec. 20, Abraham
Lincoln was conferring with
Thurlow Weed, New York Re
publican boss, In Springfield,
111.
- Jefferson Davis, a U.S. sen
ator from Mississippi, was at
his post in Washington.
Lt. Col. Robert E. Lee of
the 2nd U.S. Cavalry, was en
route back to Fort Mason,
Tex.: from a tour of duty in
San Antonio where he had
been temporarily in charge of
the Texas Military District.
Ulysses S. Grant, a leather
merchant of Galena, 111., and
a former captain in the U.S.
Army, was somewhere in
Wisconsin collecting bills.

move to Ft. Sumter.)
DOLLY DAHLE
Nothing Too Unique
Engineering and Production
manager of catalogue and ad
vertising producers.
The business world didn't
exactly welcome her with
open arms and her net profit
the first year was $18. Now
Publishing Production Serv
ice grosses $250,000 a year
and Dolly is pointed toward
joining the Young Presidents
club, reserved for persons un
der 40 who gross a million in
a business they started them
selves. Should Quadruple
Tho future is rosy, she says,
because the technical publica
tion business, even with strict
specifications set down by the
government, should quadruple
in the next five years.
Success doesn't seem to
come as a surprise to' Dolly,
who spent seven years of her
childhood in an orphanage be
cause of a broken home and
had to finish high school at
night while working at Pack
ard Motors in Detroit during
the war.
At USO shows during this
period, she started entertain
ing by doing the classic hula,
taught to her by a friend of
her mother's. This led to
Billy Rose talent sliow in
which the act with the most
applause won.
"1 got plenty of whistles,
but not the most applause,"
Dolly says.
As a result, she worked for
a year at the Diamond Horse-
shoe in New York, . doing
the hula and walking around
forming a pretty background
for various acts. She was one
of a group of tall, beautiful
girls that Rose nicknamed his
"Big Bruisers."
Worked for Earl Carroll
She also did showgirl work
for the old Earl Carroll's
night club in Hollywood and
fashion modeling.
A post-war marriage didn't
work out and Dolly returned
to California, where she had
spent some lime during the
war to be closer to her fiance.
She started as a proofread
er in the technical publica
tions department at North
American Aviation in 1950
and 10 years later is well on
her way to the big time in
business - perhaps the love
liest addition to high finance
since Esther Williams started
peddling swimming pools.
