Copeland of Clinton, started the building of four stock watering ponds this week on his beef cattle farm near Joanna. This will make a total of seven ponds on the farm. Mr. Copeland said, “I am not through yet. I intend to build a pond in every hollow on the farm. These ponds will not only furnish planty of water for the cattle but will also make it possible for a better ro tational system of pastures.” By managing grazing this way, a good ground cover can be maintained to protect the soil from erosion and cause more water to soak into the ground. ACP cost-sharing assistance is being used by Mr. Copeland to help pay the cost of construction. Hie trict helped with the engineering surveys and layout of the ponds. H. L. Finley of Rt. 2, Laurens, has cleared an old hedgerow ditch which ran through the middle of an 18-acre field Mr. Finley plans to seed this area to sencea lespedeza to be used as a water disposal area and also to produce hay and graz mg for his livestock. By removing the ditch and hedgerow area, he has greatly improved the looks of the field and has also made it pas sible to establish a better terracing system on the field He also plans to establish a fescue and ladino cloverd meadow in the same field this fall.

First, the men whose names are mentioned in the head lines, and, second, the men who make those headlines possible. The latter are at least as important as the former. The men in the headlines were President Eisenhower, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Defense Secretary Neil McFJroy, and Presi dential Assistant Sherman Adams AO of them did important jobs well. Cool Ifrasi* In 4 Oisis ’ For each man in the headlines there were dozens whose hard work and devotion to duty in times of crisis made thoee headlines possible. Some of those were members of the 15th Congress. The four named above are in the Administrative branch of govern ment. Pew of their decisions and actions which made headlines were taken withont having consulted wfch the important leaden of Congrtaa. Congress Is made op of both Democrats aad Republicans and tea two frequently have their That can be eepecsaly when we have a Republican V % 9 to to 2 President and a Democratic m.i- jority -m ( ongress. and it is almo>t inevitable in an election year ( oncresMcnal unity on important naiiohal and international problems was a remarkable accomplishment of the Jj^th (ongress. The credit for that unity belongs in a large measure to four leaders, two from ea^h party, v fohnaon. fla'lmrn, Knowland *4 Martin l Those are, names familiar to most Ameru..ms. but ’hey seldom were in the headlines Few, even m Washington, know the extent to which thev put aside their politi cal differences to close party ranks on issues of great national im portance. Sen. Lyndon Johnson, the Ma jority leader, worked closely with Minority Leader Sen. William Know land oo legislation vitally affecting the national interest. The same was true of Speaker Sam Rayburn and Minority Leader Joseph Martin m the House. All four brushed aside both party and personal interests where tb* national interest was involved. And, they did rt without cUimmg or expecting personal gaht or credit. Without (hat unity the 85th Cow- greet would have been tor leas successful in maintaining tutiouai unity at a critical time.
