ELEAZER Clemson College Information Specialist First Things First I saw this: A dilapidated shanty of a house, propped with poles on its leaning side. A good size family was living in it and for a long time. On top of it was an an tenna that led to a $400 tele vis-, ion set. And parked under a tree by it was a $3,000 automobile. Yes, and they lived in a $250 house! I asked a neighbor about it. He said those folks made enough to live well. But they just didn't seem to aspire to any better house to live in. Well, now, if they are satis fied. maybe I should be. too. For there is really little I can do about it. But for the sake ot those young folks, I’d sure like to see them exposed to a little bet ter surroundings. Maybe the thing would take. And maybe the desire for better things might grow in them. You know, the desire for bet ter things has to come before we'll ever do anything about it. And when the means are at hand »+0OOO0OO+OOO+OOOO+OOOOO+OOO+OOOO'OO*0OOOOOOOOOOPOOO+0OOOO+0OOOOO+OOO0OOOOO+OOOOOO0O+OOOOO4OOOOO+OOOO+O+OOOO++OO+OOOOOOOO+OOO+O,0OO0OO00OOOOOOO0OOO+OOO+—*+++++»*»**•+ was never as docile as Frank, even though much older. I said he was gray. In raci he was al most white, he was so old. But he never lost his fire. Bill was afraid of more things! A spider web with dew on it by the road was a spook for sure. And you just couldn’t get him by it until you went there and tore it up. A small crack between the boards on a bridge was a bar rier you couldn’t get him across without filling it with dirt. AndJ for a rabbit to jump from the weeds by the path caused him to bolt and* usually throw you. For that reason, they wouldn’t let us ride Old Bill until we got up some size. And an automobile! Old Bill couldn’t have been more afraid of the devil himself. Fortunate ly these things were few in the Stone Hills in his day. But the occasional one that did come brought terror to him. And if we heard one coming, we got out of that road and as far away as we could, even if it meant cross ing ditches, gullies, and bushes for pleasant surroundings and a j with the buggy or wagon. Sev- for folks er a] times we didn't hear the colored folks. Election will be appointed by the demonstration women and 4-H few comforts, it’s a pity not to have ’em. “Demonstration House.’’ down in Williamsburg, is working on this very point with a lot of our Groups of home Commissioners of Election for Laurens County. QUALIFICATIONS FOR VOTING 1. REGISTRATION. Every person offering to vote must be duly registered on the County Books of Registration of Laurens County as an elector at one of the precincts of Clinton, within the period January 1st., 1948, to Ap ril 30th, 1955, both inclusive. 2. QUALIFICATIONS AS TO RESIDENCE Every person of fering to vote must have resided in the State of South Carolina for two years, in the County of Lau rens for one year, and in the Town of Clinton for four months, all prior to Mav 31st, 1955. 3. OTHER QUALIFICATIONS. I Because of the provisions of Sec-j tion 13, Article If, of the Consti-' tution, in order to vote at said Election, all persons offering to i club girls go there to live in it for a week. Many come back with the desire kindled in them for better things, better things they can afford, but just had never experienced before. A lot of white folks need that impetus, too. We all get a good bit of that through our farm youth groups. 4-H and FFA, and our home demonstration clubs and the like. From the farm, and from indus trial jobs that many farm folks hold, we have seen the means for improved living come to many a family in our time. And many have taken full advantage of it. But others have not. We must first nave ihe desire for the better things before new money will add most to every day living. thing plopping along in time or couldn’t get up the banks or across the ditches there. That al ways meant a runaway. Old Bill went from there, tearing off the shafts, wrapping a wheel around a tree, or busting a singletree or harness and leaving us behind.

Keep a close watch out for them. There was a time w’hen many i remedies were rather ineffectual But in late years science has giv en us remedies for most insects and diseases of field and garden that are far better than those we had before.

Then Saluda was just about all cotton, like the rest of the state. Now you can ride for many miles there at places and hardly see a cotton patch. That county has largely gone to four things: ponds, pines, pastures and cattle. Ponds are seen on every side. And more and more are being built. They are primarily for cattle water and irrigation, County Agent Kearse tells me. And. of course, there is the hope for fish and some recreation. Ponds go mighty well there. Those tight slate soils really hold water. And the rolling hills and | ravines make pond sites every where you look. Pines managed right grace many an acre and grow into fu ture wealth there. Pastures are seen on wide I areas, areas that knew but cot ton when I was there. And they are mostly good pastures, for those are natural grass and I clover lands. But there, as else where. they have a lot to learn | about management. We often Columbia. May 20.—A now, colorfully illustrated leaflet digest of South Carolina traffic laws, entitled “Safe Driving Rules,” is available without cost to anyone requesting it. Chief Commissioner Claude R McMillan of the State Highway Department said today. The leaflet, using yellow and black illustrations throughout, is written with emphasis on accident prevention, since traffic violations are at the root of almost every ac cident. Pedestrian traffic laws, as i well as laws for motorists, are listed in this leaflet, keeping in mind that one out of every five is a pedestrian. Subjects covered briefly in the leaflet are: learner’s permit, driv er’s license, starting and parking, overtaking and passing, school buses, speed limits, minimum^ speed, right-of-way, following too closely, driving in proper lane, giving proper signals, dimming lights during night travel, driving while drinking, reckless driving, traffic signs, what to do in case of an accident, safety responsibil ity, point system, safe vehicles, bi cycle, riding, safe walking rules and trash dumping. i UNIQUE FLAVOR Next time you prepare barbe- I cued spareribs, substitute lemon or lime juice for part of the i vinegar. This lends a unique flavor to the sauce. IN REFRIGERATOR Unlike other canned meats, canned hams should be stored in the refrigerator. Dr. Fred E.

Others only have it at times on account of poor man agement. | And as to cattle in Saluda; I see many beef cattle dotting hill and vale. And considerable good | dairy cattle here and there, too. But large areas there, sometimes for miles at a time, where many families used to plow large cot ton crops, we now see only grass; and cattle. And one good house has replaced many cotton shacks.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth lor the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily.
