SAY:^ ~ ‘T SAW IT IN THE CHRONICLE” THANK YOU • IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS CLINTON, S. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14. 1952 Dollar Days Again Today, Friday and Saturday are Dollar Days in Clinton as will be given representation in all phases of civic and business progress. Certain ly they are more vitally interested in schools than are men, and yet in the seen from the paper, with a num- highly centralized set-up of our dras- ber of merchants participating in the event sponsored by the Merchants as sociation. During the three days special em phasis will be placed on the dollar which has lost much of its buying power. Its strength, will be greatly enlarged for the trade days. Dollar Days mean that the buyer is the gainer in both ways. To sum it all un—all roads will lead in this direc tion where the $$$ is king. You are invited to come and bring the family. If you are smart and thrifty you will, not overlook the opportunity, or the- “dollar days” news in today’s paper. Our Lawlessness Record The Chronicle today carries a con densed statement on law enforcement in the city the past year as shown by the report of the city police depart ment. ^ The report isr one^ of which the com munity has no right to be proud.

Why the mothers ! of our children have been ignored, many people are asking and properly i so. • For the new B. and P. club we wish 1 success. We expect it to render a civ ic service in the community compar able with that being contributed by the men. THE FINEST IN ELECTRIC COOKING AT A PRICE YOU CAN AFFORDI The New A. R. P.

But Dr. Peterson points out that tilth and soil structure must be good if the plant food is to do its crop nourishing job. Crops can starve in the midst of plenty and fertilizer can be wasted if the soil’s structure is poor. Poor-soil structure shuts off drain age and -ventilation. It keeps air and water out. Crop roots can’t penetrate the tightly-compacted soil to reach needed nutrients.
