A new craze is reported by the Associated Press to have develop
ed among English bobby-soxers: “Blinking back tears, teen-age girls
are carving their boy friends’ initials into the flesh of their own legs
and arms. Some are rubbing burned wood into the cuts to make the
scars more distinctive and the initials easier to read. Twenty-seven
youth organizations in Noddingham County are trying to get it
stopped before some girls are scarred for life or
dangerous blood poisoning cases result."
There is not much deference between what
these girls are doing and what boys and men, es
pecially sailors, have done in having tatoo designs
put on their bodies. I have talked to some of the
boys who have been tatooed, and they admit that
it was either done while they were drinking or un
der some special compulsion which they later re
gretted.
Both groups mark themselves for life in re
sponse to some passing fad or temporary impulse
Dr. Spaugh In later years they regret it.
These physical markings and disfigurements are bad enough.
But there are others which are worse—disfigurement of the mind
and the soul This follows the same pattern of following the crowd.
The Bible says, "Thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil.” Dis
figurement of character is far worse than disfigurement of the body.
Willful and persistent participation in practices which inwardly
violate the conscience, maim and disfigure the soul Persistent read
ing and telling of risque and salacious stories pollute and deface the
mind. All of us meet these unfortunates who have so marked and
defaced their minds that they subconsciously seek out a dirty or off
color angle to everything they say and do. There are others who
can say or do nothing except in terms of “What’* in it for me?” There
are others whose eyes seek out the lewd, the salacious.
There is another group who have marked their souls—those who
cannot look at anything or any person without finding fault. The
number of these is legion.
All of these have marked their minds and souls. They are in a
prison of their own making.
These physical markings of the skin can be corrected by skill
ful plastic sugery. Markings of the mind are much more difficult to
erase. Only God can do that, and then only whan He is asked to do
it in true sincerity.

Conservation Notes
By J. B. O’DELL
Soil Conservationist
Laurens county farmers can’t
do anything about the weather,
but some of them are doing
something about water. SCS
technicians assisting County Soil
Conservation District helped
farmers build 14 ponds during
the first half of this ypar. This
brings the total ponds l|o date on
farms of cooperators with the
Laurens District to 124.
Today people of our land are
more water conscious than they
^Jiave ever been before. It is be
ing brought to our attention
more and more that water is the
primary limiting factor fn the
development of industry, cities
and agriculture.
These ponds are effective tools
of water conservation. However,
there are other essential practic
es needed in a conservation
farming program to make ponds
more effective and conserve soil
and water at the same tune.
These practices consist of the es
tablishment of vegetation on the
watershed to stop water where
it falls insofar as posible. For
the ground is the greatest and
most wonderful reservoir of wa
ter of all. However, the water
that cannot be stopped by these
measures can be controlled on its

and ocean by these vegetative
measures and made to reach its
destination in a clear usable
condition.
The difficulties now faced by
many towns and cities which de
pend upon surface run-off for
their water supplies are well
known. While writing this ar
ticle I was called by B. R. Aus
tin, water plant manager of
Clinton, who asked if I knew
of any new dams or irrigation
projects on Duncan Creek that
would affect the flow of the wa
ter at the city’s pumping station
on Duncan Creek. He said the
water was low in the reservoir
and reaching a critical stage
. What is the difference between
the pure, clear water that flows
from our springs and streams
and the yellow torrent of silt and
debris that so often overflows
our rich bottom lands and river
valleys? ’Die essential differ
ence Is that The'clearwiterrttaF
usable water, stayed for a time
where it fell. The other did not.
As of June 3(1 1954, according
to SCS reports, there was on
farms of cooperators with the
Laurens Soil Conservation Dis
trict 13,092 acres of improved
pastures, 7,114 acres of sericea,
1134 acres of kudzu, and 2,013
acres of pines. These practices
were applied in carrying out
their soil and water conservation
plans designed to keep soil and
water on the farm.
A carefully planned water dis
posal system is necessary on ev
ery farm. Vegetated waterways
and meadow outlets are import
ant parts of these systems. They
should be used in addition to
other needed practices such as
terraces, crop rotations, cover
crops and stubble mulching.
Cooperators with the Laurens
District have planted 1541 acres
of perennial vegetation in water
disposal areas to conserve soil,
and water emptying from ter
races. To date 1234 miles of ter
races have been built with the
help fiom SCS technicians. J.
B. O’Dell, W. H. Fleming and
M. Y. Blakely are the SCS tech
nicians assisting the Laurens
District.
There are now 1423 farmers
cooperating with the district.
Their farms contain a total of
225,394 acres.
The farmers who serve as su
pervisors os soil conservation
districts deserve much credit for
the progress that has been made
in conserving soil and water.
They serve without pay except
for the satisfaction they receive
of helping in a very worthwhile
undertaking and rendering an
unselfish service to their cuonty,
state and nation. The super
visor of the district are: Ryan F.
Lawson, chairman, Rt. 3, Clin
ton; Sam B. Fleming, Ora; W. P.
Dickson, Rt. 3, Clinton; James D.
Wasson and J. Warren Tinsley,
Rt. 3, Laurens.
Exchange Club Has
G. 0. C. Program
Lt. George Pelon of the head
quarters, Atlanta District,
Ground Observer Corps, and
Mr. Leila N. Johnon of the local
Business and Professional Wom
an’s club presented an interest
ing program for the meeting of
the Exchange club on Tuesday
evening at the college dining
hall.
They explained the operation
and need of the GOC and told of
the four stations that have been
set up in Laurens county. The
Cknton station, headed by Mrs.
Johnson, is located at Johnson’s
Floral Shop.
Mrs. Johnson stated that she
would like to have the names
and telephone numbers of volun
teers who could be called in case
of emergency.
The club is cooperating in the
support of the local station.
