O'DELL More than ISO,000 pine tree seedlings were delivered to seven teen landowners in Laurens coun ty last week, according to J. B. O'Dell of the Soil Conservation service. This is the second delivery made tap the Laurens Soil Conservation district for this season, bringing the total to 406,000 seedlings. Of this number over 200,000 will be planted by the district’s new me chanical tree planter. This ma chine does a good job of planting on all open land where a tractor can be operated. The speed of the operation of the planter can be judged by the fact that approximately 1,000 seed lings can be planted in an hour or an average day’s planting is about 8,000 trees. Laurens county ranked sixth in the state of South Carolina in the production of pulp wood in 1953, according to State Foresterer C. H. Flory. The county’s high rating came toy virtue of its total of 56,364 cords of pine and 472 cords of hardwood, making a total of 56,- 636 cords. To make this many cords would require approximately 1,127,360 trees of six inches In diameter, breast high. Are trees in Laurens county being replaced as fast as they are bek« cut? The timber and pulp wood in dustry has been good in Laurens county. We should try to keep it that way. There are thousands of acres of unproductive land in the county that should be put to good use. Tree planting is one way to do this. Trees will not only mean good land use, conserve soil and water but will also mean more “green gold’’ for the landowners. Program Changed For Aircraft Observer Flight Training A recent change in requirements has resulted in many openings for aircraft observer flight training according to Sgt. Parker, head of the local Air Force recruiting sta tion here. The Air Force hopes to secure a number of fully qualified ob server aviation cadets before the end of February. Those men who qualify can expect placement in a flight observer class within the next four months. The observer program includes training in such specialties as naviagation, meteor ology, electronics, engineering, and bombardment. Observer aviation cadets are Farm Account Records Aid To Fanners Dr. Herbert Spaugh Everyday Counselor Faith in God is a force which inspirse us to meet and conquer life’s problems. The circumstances’of life mean nothing. All that matters is how we meet those circumstances. History supplies a long list of poor boys who have become rich, those who have conquered illness and accident, war and privation, by faith and determination. They convert their handicaps into stepping stones of progress. I remember reading of a doctor in South America who was not sat isfied with the way some of his patients were progressing. So he put them into a ward by themselves, making an exit possible for them. Then he carefuly released a boa conststrictor in the room. All of them fled their beds and saved them selves, showing that under necessity people do what they ought and have to do. When the Germans en- jf - tered Paris it is reported that many crippled and in firm people got up and walked. The same was true !| during the blitz in London. There are modem well-known examples, such as H Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was stricken with polio ' i at the age of 39. He went on to be Governor of t New York and finally President. Ben Hogan sur vived a terrible automobile accident to become a four-time winner of the National Open. Jane Fro- man survived an airplane accident to appear effectively again on the stage. There are all evidences that a man can and will do what he is in spired to do. Sometimes he is inspired by fear, but more often by faith and determination. There is no limit to what a man can do when he cleans his con science and makes God his Senior Partner. A man who has God as his Senior Partner has a divine resource outside, above and beyond himself. As long as God is with us, who can be against us? As long as we live by God's great laws, there can be no defeat. We may not become wealthy in this world’s goods; we may not become famous. But we will always have the satisfaction of having kept our integrity and having met life courageously. It is never too late to stop complaining, to face up to life’s re sponsibilities and make God the Senior Partner; to overcome our physical limitations; to help others share the burdens of life. It is never too late to break the cobwebs that can become cables about us; it is never too late to overcome expensive and depleting habits. But all this takes more than will power. It takes faith in God and the use of His power. Make Him your Senior Partner now. Dr. Spaugh Orchids to... MRS. HUBERT BOYD MRS.

Wil- liamon, Clem son extension farm management specialist, points out that the farm account provides facts for studying and improving the farm business. He explains that a complete rec ord of the farm receipts and farm expenses, together with inventory changes, furnishes the necessary figures for calculating labor in come. Labor income is what a farmer gets for his year’s work above interest on his investment and all farm expenses, in addition to having a house to live in and farm products to use in the home. “Not only does the farm account have value as a record of the farm business and as a basis for Im proving the farm organization but it may also be useful in other ways, such as preparing income tax returns or furnishing valuable information in case of fire, the need for borrowing money, or in the settling of an estate,’’ Mr. Wil- liamon states. “Adequate farm records can be kept in simple form without a great deal of time being spent on them. A satisfactory record would include a property inventory, in cluding feed and supplies, made at the 'beginning and end of the year, the numtoere of livestock kept, a record of the crops grown “"Shd yields obtained, and a record of receipts and expenses together with the quantities of the differ ent items bought and sold during the year. “With farming rapidly becom ing more complex each year, it is necessary for farmers to know the facts rather than to guess about their business affairs. "Farm accounts tor 1956 should be started as early In the year as possible,’’ Mr. WiUiamon suggests. Farm account books prepared by the Clem son Extension service are available to all fanners desir ing to keep them. These books are free and may be obtained from county agents. Even New York Retains Some Of The 'Old' New York, Jan. 15. — Visitors who expect everything in the big city to be geared to day after to morrow are sometimes surprised that the horse and buggy days are not entirely over. But many of them are pleased, too, and they take a ride down the avenue or through the park. New Yorkers also use the 50 Victoria and Brougham carriages which still have their stand on 59th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, but 90 per cent of! the customers are visiting the city. Some of the cabmen are em ployes of people who own as many as a dozen carriages. Several are proud possessors of a one horse and carriage stable. They wear high silk hats and provide a col orful contrast to the swirling mid town auto traffic. Some of them can be found waiting for enstomers at any hour. The drivers say that play boys and party loving folk being what they are, 3 a. m. may be just as appropriate for a ride in the park as 3 p. m. If you are a good listener, some of the older cabmen can tell you about Diamond Jim Brady, the playboy; actress Lillian Russell; the boxer, James J.^Corbett, and other notable people of another day. But there are younger driv ers who quote their grandparents in speaking of earlier days. credit is iae Mrs. Eva Land who Mill district, sad Mrs. lone Wallace who district, both bring employees of the mill As a Rod Feather organisation the Gamp oantrlbattan frem the Coaimaalty Cheat to the acttvitlm, which inclade weekly rccrivea talent to Thanks a lot, PLAXICO MOTORS, Inc.

JONES, Jr. PHONE M6-M 763 Bring a Friend To Church With You When I was a girl they used to say that bread was the staff of life. It’s an expression that you still hear, of course, but not so much as you once did. True, there was something tantalizing and wonderful about the smell of home-baked bread wafting in from the kitchen. And how the men folk loved it, after a hard day at work in the fields. But as I grew older, I began to realize that neither bread nor anything else you can see, touch, and smell is the staff of life. Sound funny? Well, think it over, and you’ll see what I mean. Our greatest strength comes from the things that aren’t tangible. The spiritual things, I guess you’d call them. My own staff of life has been the Church. It has sup ported me when I have needed it the most. When my children came along, I taught them to believe that the Church was their real staff of life. In this belief they have found hope, solace, and comfort, just as I have. ^ FOR ALL - cK?
