She would go to her work every morning feeling that a crushing weight was settling down on her. She didn’t see how she was going to handle all the work before her, some of it left over from the day before. She dreaded the nerve-racking sessions with her high-strung boss who worked always under tension. At the end of the day, she had no appetite, and only forced down the food necessary to keep her going. All the day long, every day, from morning to night, she was tired. When she tried to sleep, it was only half a sleep, the other half was a nightmare. Did this mental state take its toll? Naturally! That was inevitable. Soon her physical self be came undermined. She suffered violent pains in her stomach. Sh^-went to a doctor who discovered a thyroid deficiency and said her pulse rate was far too high. Then he told her what she already knew, that sh^was living under too great strain. He added that Tie could relieve her symptoms but that she herself would have to effect the cure. Carnegie l Economic Head *5ays Dollars May Go Lower Washington, July 2. — Eric John ston, economic stabilization director, told senators Monday a projected tax increase will have “tremendous, if not overriding, influence in deter- * mining the success or failure” of ef forts to halt inflation. Johnston urged the Senate Finance Committee to approve a tax boost of $10,000,000,000 a year instead of the approximately $7,200,000,000 in the ^ House-passed bill. He said only the larger increase will make possible a pay-as-we-go basis in financing the “billion-dollar* a-week mobilization program" fac ing the nation. “I believe deeply that our tax pol- * icy must be on this basis if we are to prevent inflation from imperiling the buying power of the dollar—the buy- & ing power not only of the consumer’s ^dollar but of the government's dol lar, too,” Johnston said in a state ment prepared for the Finance Com- Vnittee. He was the third Administration witness to support a $10,000,000,000 tax bite since the Senate group open ed hearings last Thursday. Charles E. Wilson, director of defense mobil ization, is expected to take the same position in testimony tomorrow. Johnston said measures to hold prices and wages in check, to apply strict credit controls and to use the nations resources efficiently are not enough. “Even if we do all of those things f but don’t raise taxes, we still face the prospect of an inflationary gap by mid-1952 of from $10,000,000,000 to $20,000,000,000,” he asserted. As she.left the doctor’s office, she asked herself if it were worth while? She was living 1500 miles from home. Human values meant most to her yet there was no oppor tunity to give anything significant to anyone’s life. If she were run over no one would miss her particularly. A gnawing sense of futility suffused her entire being. Suddenly she wondered whether the people all around her felt the same. What would happen if each of them became swift ly and miraculously happy. Each helping the other! Well, she might find someone she could help. She went home and wrote a set of rules to follow for just one week, to see if they would work. Here they are: 1— Try to learn another’s problems and help to solve them. 2— Do the job at hand and forget all the others. 3— Laugh often, and laugh at myself. See the funny side of troubles whenever possible. Within a month the doctor told her she needn’t take any more thyroid tablets! Shortly after she went on a vacation climbed mountains, went swimming, took long hikes. Retunfing her doctor pronounced her in perfect physical condition. From Richard V. Peer, Chillicothe, Ohio: I remember when the I pitcher pump was a sign of pros- * perity in city and country. Every morning we had to prime it, pump ing furiously on handle until water spewed into sink. Cold winter nights we wrapped the pipe with feed sacks or placed a lighted lan tern under the sink. Pumping water to fill die boiler for Monday’s wash was a Sunday night chore. From Faye Smith, Paden City, W. Va.: I remember when button shoes were worn and we carried lanterns in walking at night many miles to country church and the girls sang tenor to the song en titled, “I Surrender AIL” •B From Mrs. Hanre Baker, Decatur, bad.: I remember when the first telephones were installed. They were not to be used by children, and we had no desire to talk on the 'phone, and we looked upon it with awe. One evening, when dad and mother were gone, it started ringing. My old grandfather grabbed the receiver and shouted ‘‘hello!*' A pleased look came on his face and he yelled, "Talk! Talk! Talk! Talk on!" One of his grandchildren started crying, and he yelled “Shut up!" The other party hung up the receiver, and thus ended the first telephone con versation at our house. From Ralph Hetrick, SheUsville, Pa: I remember when I worked for $100 a year with board and lodging. I received pay at end of year. No half days work but full days, and used no shoes in the summer time. I was very proud to walk to a picnic with 25c of spend ing money. This was not always all spent From Anna McPherson, Spokane, Wash.: I remember when I wore long sleeves and high neck dress es' and every time I went outside > I put on a sun bonnet to keep from setting tanned. FOR TOUR PRINTING AND OfFICE SUPPLY NEEDS CALL 14 * By J. M. ELEAZER. Clemson College Extension Infor mation Specialist Bugs Now We are right now in the midst of the bug season, both out of doors and in the home. Clemson’s Extension Bulletin 101, Household Insects, carries the information that every home needs. It is free at your county agent’s office. Take roaches and ants, what pests they can be! And many a home is plagued by them. Yet Chlordane, easy to apply, is their j complete remedy. In fact it not only keeps them down, it just erad icates them from a house, if prop erly applied. And they don’t come right back either. An affective res idue must be left. We used it over a year ago, and I haven’t seen an ant or a roach since. I wish we had as good remedies for bugs of field and garden as we do for those of the home. My, how clover did spread its royal robes of crimson upon the land of late. Reseeding crimson clover! That’s what you doubtless saw along the byways and highways at places when May was young. Greenwood county probably had more than any other. They have an association of growers who strive to produce good seed of reseeding 1 crimson clover. County Agent Gar vin tells me they have fields where it has been reseeding as long as 12 years, and good stands still come. Even if something is planted there and it is not permitted to seed for a year, enough hard seed seem to be carried over to insure a stand when fall comes around. For winter grazing, as a seed crop, as a soil builder, and as a soil holder, this clover ranks right. To start it, you inoculate and seed it in the fall. The P.M.A. has been buying ap ples in the Northwest to relieve the growers on account of the price. Yet a fairly small apple costs a nickel at the average store. Haul ing and distributing costs must be mighty high, or else someone is making a big profit on an apple. And evidently it is not the farmer, or he wouldn’t be selling to P.M.A. at a moderate price. Juvenile delinquency is too big! a word for me. Devilment among i the youngsters means the same thing and suits me better. But to use the big term, the other day I heard a speaker say, “Juvenile delinquency is just chil dren acting like their parents.” A lot of truth in that. When we oldsters did most of our devilment, we were out in the open spaces and didn’t get caught. Now many of the kids are crowd ed into unnatural surroundings, devilment is thus stimulated, and they usually get caught. I believe the youngsters of today are not only no worse than we were, but they are far better fitted for the future than we were. Their advantages are greater. And most of them absorb a lot of that I’ve watched ’em a lot at their summer 4-H camps and' elsewhere. And, Oldtimer, they have it on us when we were along there. Funny Things Happen A lot of funny things happen all around. Recently I attended the annual banquet of the state freezer locker plant operators. Mayor An-j derson of Columbia and his wife were there. Many prizes were, drawn for. Although many appro-; priate prizes were given, the Mayor won a case. 50 pounds, of skipper] powder, used for keeping bugs out of cured meat. And Mrs. Anderson won 25 pounds of sausage season ing. Not sausage, mind you, bgt seasoning for sausage. All had a j good laugh nad each very gravious- ly donated it back, and then others who could use ’em won ’em. Poison A-plsnty County Agent Griffin of Oconee made a survey of boll weevil pois on deliveries to the farms of his county at planting time. A total of 133 tons of it had been delivered to the farmers at that early date. That’s enough to put 5 applica tions on half of the cotton planted in the county, he said. And, of course, heavy sales were also made after that. This was just the fel lows who laid their stock of poison in early so that any shortage that might develop couldn’t keep them from having theirs when time came for the weevil war to start. As this is published we are getting right into the 1951 weevil fight. Boys Are That Way Time meant little to us as kids in our stone hills of the Dutch Fork. Specially was this so in the summer, when there was no school to bother. Each day brought Its charm. For wild things were always ripening at some nook or comer. And the running streams never grew dull. I can well remember though that I always knew when Friday came. For on that day the first sound I heard was the far-away, deep- throated rhythm of the grinding rocks in the old mill down on the creek a mile from home. In the cool of a bright dewey morning, its rhythmic pulse echoed across the hills and reminded all whose meal barrel was low that it was mill day. By the time I got out in the yard I could see folks on horse back, with sacks of corn, working their way down the rocky road towardts the creek. And about ev ery other week one of us used a sack of com as a saddle and joined them. Down there at the old mill we sat around under a great oak and talked the time away, until our turn came. Then I would go in the millhouse and help by dipping the warm, sweet-smelling meal with a yoden paddle into the sack. As our com was finishing up, we kept the meal pushed away from the spout and in the other end of the box. And, as the last kernels disappear ed from the hopper, miller poured in the next man’s corn. The meal from there on was his, and we just finished cleaning ours out from the far end of the box. One of the men would put the sack of meal on my horse for me, dividing it equally on each side. Then, sitting on that warm sack of fresh meal, I would head back up across the hills to home. And there we had, a two weeks’ supply of the staff of life for folks, young giddies, and the dogs. I went by that once pleasant mill site the other day. And I could hardly tell where it had been. The tree was gone, the millhouse, the dam, and even the rocks that but tressed the whole thing against the flood, had vanished. And the stream had even changed its course. Where the millrace was a tangle of willows grows. And the water now hugs the yonder bank. flBacfies Customers' J Corner AaP has always been noted for its money-saving prices. • But we have always plac ed gre&l emphasis on the quality of the food we sell, too. Anybody can cut prices if they are willing to cut quality. But it has never been AkP policy to achieve low prices by selling infer ior food. So, we are able to offer you the values you enjoy at your A*P because we work hard to hold up the quality of our food as well as keep down the price. If you ever feel that the food you buy doesn’t meas ure up to our high quality standards, please let us know. Please write: South Carolina lb.
