It was announced by the Nation
al Foundation For Infantile Para
lysis Sunday night that definite
steps have been taken toward find
ing a vaccine against polio. Al
though it will not be available to
the public during 1953, it is prob
able that the vaccine will be wide
ly used during the coming years.
With this thought in mind the
Clinton March of Dimes drive will
come to a close Saturday, which R.
P. Wilder, head of the drive, has
designated as “Bangle Day.” Miss
Irene Hipp has chosen a group of
girls from the high school and al
so some interested mothers to -take
care of the street contributions dur
ing “Bangle Day.” Headquarters
for the special drive will be in
front of Howard’s Pharmacy.
Since the March of Dimes drive
here has not canvassed the local
merchants and business establish
ments this year all who are inter
ested in making a contribution are
asked to do so at the headquarters
in front of Howard’s Pharmacy or
send it to R. P. Wilder, 100 Wood-
row Drive. ,
Last year the March of Dimes
drive in Laurens county netted on
ly $2,959.73, which was far below
the total of $9,995.35 which the
Laurens county chapter spent on
cases in this county. Two cases
alone received over $4,500 from the
Laurens county chapter. The Na
tional Foundation made up the $7,-
000 difference in the amount taken
in and the amount spent. There
were two county cases receiving
aid from the county chapter last
year. >

The keynote for farming in 1953
is efficiency and careful farm and
home planning advised in the ag
ricultural program for Laurens
county.
The ten-point program, announc
ed jointly by the State Agricultural
Committee, the Clemson Extension
Service and the Laurens County
Agricultural Committee centers
around the slogan, “More Efficient
Farming.” An intensive educa
tional program will be conducted
in this county by County Agent C.
B. Cannon and other groups to ac
quaint farmers with the signifi
cance of the suggestions.
The ten basic points for this year
are:
1. Balanced Farming: Make the?
farm an efficient operating unit b'"
careful planning for the best use of
land, labor, machinery, cash and
credit, and for good faTm family
living. ,,
2. Crops: Use more lime, ferti
lizer, good planting seed, and up-
to-date methods of efficient pro
duction to obtain highest yields
and returns pen acre and per man.
3. Grassland Farming: Continue
♦ he wise expansion and sound man
agement of grassland farming toi
support our growing livestock and
poultry industry, and for the full
use and conservation of soil, water,
and labor resources.
_ 4. Livestock, Dairying and Poul
try: Produce the meat, milk, eggs
and other livestock products need-*
Practice closer culling, improved
breeding, better feeding, and ef
ficient management to increase
production and income per animal
and per man.
5. Pests and Diseases: Use ap
proved methods and materials :i
fighting crop and livestock insect.-.,
diseases and parasites, household
insects, rats, weeds, and other
IB' 'Torestry: Give farm wtiod-
lands .better management and fire
protection. Do a better job o«f mar
keting the timber crop. Reforest
lands best suited to trees.
7. Marketing: Provide and use
more processing and storage facili
ties for farm products. Study con
sumer demands and produce and
prepare products to meet these de
mands. Market products through,
most ^efficient channels.
8. The Farm Family: Build a
good family life with attractive
homes having adequate storage
space and modern conveniences ef
ficiently used. Keep the family
healthy and happy by providing
the proper foods, and opportunities
for education, religious training
and social life.
9. Rural Youth: Train rural
youth in improved methods of
farming, homemaking, health, citi
zenship and leadership.
10. Public Policies: Keep infonn-
ed on ’ agricultural policies and
programs, and actively support 1 )-
cal and national fanners organiza
tions.
Four State Teams
Rate Above .500
Furman. Erskine, Woffqrd and
Clemson are tops in state college
basketball circles as the only quin
tets with .500 or better won-lost
records.
And with but five weeks left in
the state’s 13-week season, exclus
ive of tournament play, it looks
like those four will stay on top.
An 11-game schedule this week
may shake up the records some,
but not too much—one of the top
four plays more than two games,
and none is against one another.
