Your little friend, Carolyn Ruff Planting, one of the most interest ing phases of Forest Service activity, is a project of more than ordinary importance and magnitude on the En- ore e District. Plans now being for mulated call for the planting of a half million trees next spring—trees en ough to furnish one to every fourth person in South Carolina! Nature often sows several million seed to grow a hundred mature trees. The forester cannot be so prodical. He must substitute knoleric* of what, where, when and how to sow the plant. Further, the forester can improve on natural methods by careful selection of parent • trees and by genetical crosses of desirable species. No plan- tationg, for this reason, are establish ed within a hundred yards of a seed tree. The transplanted nursery stock carefully selected and studied as Is fine livestock, must be guarded against the introduction of less vigor ous and less hardy strains. Bulk of seedlings now in the beds of the Enpree Nursery, located along side Highway No. 176, joining CCC Camp F—6 on the north, is comprised of loblolly pine, greatly desirable for ■becking erosion and for reproduction. Black locust seedlings also will be ex tensively used in erosion work. Other products of the nursery are mimosa and slash pine, with plans for the fu- ure including wildlife feed and cover crops for propagation on the Enoree Game Management Areas. . v • ) The nursery stock to be set iout next spring necessitates, with 6’ X 6’ spacing, a total of approximately four hundred acres, which, with plant ing at high efficiency, will require a crew of twenty men every day fot- an entire month! The present capacity of the Enoree Nursery, a million seedlings, will pos sibly be increased by fifty per cent in 1938 to cope with demands of needed reforestation on this National Forest and others. John C. Billingsley District Ranger ST. PHILLIPPS G. H. Ruff Christmas is drawing near. Guess everyone has baked their first fruit cakes. Then ladies have been quite busy cleaning and decorating their houses. The decorating of trees with electric lights seems to be increasing. I heard a lady say that she never dreamed that her house would ever be decorated with electricity. I have seen several- decorated, all i. are very beautiful. I don’t like to show partiality but I do think that my neice Ruby Ruff has the prettiest. Well here is a question. Whichshows the most Christmas Spirit? “The on* who gives a gift or the receiver?” The giver always shows the most spirit, but if each gives a present they both have the yuletide spirit in their heart. I once heard a young minister say that he had put a beautiful work bas ket on a Christmas tree for a young lady. After the exercises were over she came and asked him if he had given it as just a sweetheart or as a friend. She said if it was given as a sweetheart he could take it back but he told her just to keep ot. : . This is proof that each party does n’t always have the spirit toward each other. While in some cases they do, in ftthers they differ. It has been predicted a wanner Christmas than w e have had for sev eral years. I hope this i* true. Wishing all a Merry Christmas and trusting we will all have a grand time. HOME FOR HOLIDAYS ’ Richard B. Weam, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Wearn, will arrive here Friday from New York City to spend the holidays with his parents. Cadet Wilson Weam of Clemson College is home for the holidays.

Also surviving are two sisters. Perhaps you may not be planning to buy a new car just at this season, but it doesn’t hurt one bit to window shop I’ve gound. In passing by Davis Mo tor Company, my eye was caught by the unusual and unique seasonal de corations of the display floor of Davis’. I understand the credit all goes to Mrs. Willie Mayer. Big red cellophane bows and holly decorate each of the new ’SS Chevrolets and Buicks on the floor. In the window are placed two prettily decorated Christmas trees on either side of a toy car that any small boy would envy. Whether preparing to fill the children’s stockings or arrange the Christmas table, a store of fruits, nuts and candies must always be ready. Why not shop for the Christmas neces sities at J. Claud Sehn’s grocery store. There you will find a special price on such things and with the savings you can buy that almost forgotten Christ mas gift. In this Christmas issue of the Sun you will find merry greeting cards from your merchant and your county officials. They have appreciated your support in the past, and will continue to do so. Show these merchants your appreciation for their service by do ing all of your shopping in the “City Of Friendly Folks.” LIONS CLUB MEETING President James C. Kinard was the principal speaker at the Christmas meeting of the Lions Club Tuesday evening at the Newberry Hotel. A turkey supper was served at this regular gathering. Prosperity, S. C.
