X a -\ » —t • I ' 'l, Thursday, December 15, 1960 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE ^ l, EWS It’s hog killing time! In fact, a lot have already been killed. We have a new publication that is available for those who slaugh ter for home use. The publication takes up killing, cleaning, scald ing, scraping and cutting the carcass. There is also informa- 4 tion on a number of methods of, curing the meat. It even has in formation on home-made smoke curing, sausage makin, etc. If anyone would like a copy, write or call the office. Tom Hill, our county ranger, tells me that he ana his entire force have been working over time fighting fires for the past few weeks. Tom stated that most of the fires were caused by care lessness. Smokers and hunters, according to Tom, are the ones who are to blame for the fire problems. He says that Laurens County is covered with vegetation and once a fire is started, it be- _ comes very difficult to hnMVt Hunters who are careless with matches and cigarettes ‘may cause landowners to post their land if they aren’t careful. In fact ,a few careless hunter can ^ make it hard for all. Some of our landowners have begun to plow fire lanes and that is wise indeed. Our timber lands are worth millions and should be protected. A number of fires last week were started from road banks. Good fire lanes along sides of the road could have saved valuable timber. Beef cattle can become a ma jor source of income on most farms in Laurens County. Some farmers have not given the beef cow a fair chance. In fact, the good Lord has blessed the south land to the extent that man wants nature and the cow to do it all. We need very little shelter, our soils are fertile enough, and we have sufficient rainfall. In other words, our greatest problem is man himself. Beef cattle can be carried the year round on grass. Fescue has prdven Itself as a winter grass. Our problem is summer grass. I believe more bermuda will make our fescue pastures look good this time of the year. Every farmer that has cows should try this wonder grass, “Coastal Bermuda.” It is every bit as good as you’ve heard it is. We’re locating suit able sprigs for planting next spring. Anyone interested should contact the county agents’ of fice. ^ "'sT' ■ A. U. McLendon Laurens—Albert U.

All activity linked to this event pertaining to South Carolina cen ters in the Charleston area. Although the celebration dates 1961-1965, three montha—Janu ary 8 through April 13 — will mark a concentration of events at Charleston and Fort Sumter. Those directly connected with the pre-Centennial affairs are finding their hands full making available all information pos sible and arranging photograph ic engagements for national pub lications. * Photographers and writers have flocked to Charleston and more and more interest is being aroused as the time draws close for the re-enactment of the firing on the “Star of the West,”* a Un ion vessel which came into the Charleston harbor with supplies for a garrison at Fort SumtCr. This 1961 version of what his torians declare was the first shot fired in the Confederate War will take place January 8. But, the initial activity in the commemoration of the Centen nial of the Confederacy will come with the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Articles of Seces sion on I^pcember 20 at Charles ton. : The Charleston County Centen nial Commission is planning a “Flag Day” to mark this event, and miniature Confederate flags will be sold throughout the me tropolitan area in order to give local citizens an opportunity to participate financially in the preparation for the Centennial. Those working in the Charles ton Chamber of Commerce are already involved deeply in the ex citement of plans for the various phases of the Centennial affecting this state. They may draw hidden sighs and whisper to themselves, “I wish it were all over,” but they are actually thrilled at the activ ity. Here they are seeing and having a part in the remaking of history. ThrQughout South Carolina, others may share in this by in viting friends and relatives from distant states to visit during the three-month celebration. Too, the word should be passed along to tourists in the hope that they may remain for at least a part of the Centennial observance. Those directly in contact with tourists are being urged by the South Carolina Confederate Cen tennial to be "hep” to the activ ity and direct attention to the events at Charleston and Fort Sumter. All of us in South Carolina surely will want to take advan tage of the unique opportunity to participate as onlookers in the activities. See you at Charleston! PRINTING • • • ( ^ «*-•;..>> ■.
