Gist, teacher of voca tional agriculture at Bell Street High School.—Photo by Jimmy Cooper. > f Murphy Adds Livestock, Grapes to Farm Program Willie Murphy, farmer of Route ’ 2 Clinton, who owns and operates a 145-acre diversified farm six miles northeast of Clinton says, ‘•tilling the soil is the life for me;” although farming has be come a more complicated busi ness in the last sixteen years, re sulting from many changes that have occurred in farming and that a farmer has to adapt him self to these conditions some times overnight. “An example of this is the growing of cotton, which I de pended upon as a basic enter prise. But several years ago I added livestock and grapes to my farm, under the guidance of our local Vocational Agriculture teacher at Bell Street High School, F. W. Gist. When a farm er like me begins to make changes in this business you need help. Although I have a son, Ray, who has completed all of the in structions in Vocational Agricul ture at Bell St. High School and works on the farm with me as a part time helper, I have to call upon Mr. Gist to help solve my problems when needed. As a re sult, today I have eight head of beef cattle, twenty-two head of swine, and three acres of grapes Murphy says, ‘‘Many changes Bryant In Raleigh Everette T. Bryant, representa tive of Nationwide Insurance in Clinton, is one of 48 agents at tending a training program bring conducted by his companies at the Plantation Inn Motel, Ral eigh, North Carolina. This program, one of a series of training courses held periodi cally, began on Monday and will continue through Friday. Oddly Enough MINING have taken place in farming and there is more to learn about ag riculture than ever before; there fore, if a farmer is to be success ful he must know about all these things, and must learn to master them and also must continue his educational progress through the years as long as he tills the soil. Selective Service Test For Students Scheduled April 18 Applications for the Selective Service College Qualification Test to be given on April 18, are now available to college students at the Selective Service local boards throughout South Carolina, Col. Donald H. Collins, State Director of Selective Service lor South Carolina, announced today. The test will be given at more than 50 colleges in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Canal Zone. In South Carolina, the test will be offered at the following schools: The Citadel, Charleston; Clemson College, Clemson; Alien University, Columbia; University of South Carolina, Coumbia; Bob Jones University, Greenville; and Wdfford College, Spartan burg. College students may obtain full information about the test from any Selective Service local beard. —. Scores made on the test will provide local boards with evi dence of aptitude for continued undergraduate and graduate study. The scores wil not of themselves determine eligibility for deferment, but are consider- be postmarked no later than mid night, Tuesday. March 27. ... The test, used since 1951 to aid local local boards in determining questions of student defern^nt, is adminsitered by the Science Research Associates of Chicago, ill. To be eligible to take the test, the applicant must be satisfac torily pursuing a full-time college course, undergraduate or gradu ate, leading to a degree. He need not be a student of a 4-year col lege, but his entire course of study must be satisfactory for transfer of credits to a degree granting institution. The. applicant must be a Selec tive Service registrant who in tends to seek deferment as a stu dent. He can take the test only once. ‘‘At the present time. South I Carolina local boards reach men ] for induction at about age 22,” the State Director said. ‘‘Students I generally can be nearly through their undergraduate studies at | that age. But those hoping to con tinue studies in graduate school, | for example, will- need a defer ment to do so. It is impossible! to foresee emergencies which re quire a build-up of military forc es. Such a build-up could lower the age at which local boards reach men for induction. In such an event, a deferment might be necessary to finish undergradu ate work.” In either case, the State Direc-1 tor pointed out, a test score in the file will give the local board an additional piece of important in formation to use in determining whether a registrant is eligible for a student deferment.

I read recently in The News and Courier of Charleston, that the State Board of Election Can vassers tells the South Carolina State Supreme Court that the court has no jurisdiction in the Perhaps it has escaped you but there were sharp challenges in the Beaufort race for sheriff and for the senatorship from Allen dale County. The Beaufort contest has been that the court lacks jurisdiction settled, so far as appears on the surface, but Allendale is aflame. There is an idea that the courts may inquire into any public mat ter, if the complaint has been before the court by someone who alleges that there has been a de nial of justice. The State Board of Canvassers evidently think that full and exclusive jurisdic tion rests with it in determining the case from Allendale. ‘‘The answer of the State Board of Election Canvassers to a call from the State Supreme Court is that the court lacks jurisdiction in a contested election dispute in Allendale County,” * ‘‘The court is to hear, January 14, a case in which Senator Ed Myrick and former Rep. A. P (Dick) Williams are contesting for the county’s senate place. The court ordered the state board to show cause why the board’s ruling, that Williams won a spec ial general election, shouldn’t be revoked. ‘‘The board filed its answer— that the court lacks jurisdiction —Monday.” I have no knowledge of the con ditions in Allendale and will rely on “Stonewall” O’Connor, an Al- endale editor, to bring me up to date. It is an interesting point of law; but if the Supreme Court decides that it has jurisdiction— then what? Then, again, suppose the South Carolina State Senate intervenes and decides ot act as the judge of the admissabjllity of X or Y or a Senator. So what? If the Senate should decide to seat” X what could the Court do about that? The Court may overrule the State Board of Can vassers but it can’t overrule the Senate. I know, of course, that our State Constitution provides in Section 15 of Article 1 “All Courts shall be public, and every person shal have speedy remedy therein for wrongs sustained.” On the strength of that it would appear that the court was within its ju risdiction in inquirihlf into alle gations of wrong-doing which de ride justice to Momeone Just between us, as friendly critics, you must not think I am so innocent that I am not fully lators may not exercise Executive functions. It so happens that most appointments in a County are signed by the Governor. A purely (or impurely) perfunctory act, a mere clerkly acquiesence in the Sovereign wish of the Sena tor. So citizens are employed or dismissed as the Senator wishes. And we read about that in the papers. There is only one little thing wrong: the Constitution sternly forbids that very thing. But—so what? We have many excellent mem bers of our General Assembly; our Courts are clean; our execu tive officers are usually capable and accommodating. I think fair ness requires that I pay my re spects to the men who try to serve the State. Many of the members, Judges, and Execu tives I know and cherish as friends of the years are admir able gentlemen. , I • • • We have made the Governor a mere puppet, less than an errand boy, though the Constitution clearly clothes him with great power, not mere dignity. Read Sections *1, 12, 14, 17, 18, and 19 (State Constitution). In and about Charleston we used to hear a lot about phos phate Rock and phosphate for commercial fertilizers. Scientists attending a recent meeting at Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology were told that ihosphates added to foods or toothpaste may arrest tooth de cay. Experiments with animals had given some researchers evi dence that phosphorus, a basic element of phosphate, could be as effective as fluoride in warding off cavities and that a combina- ion of the two chemicals might >e able to reduce them by as much as 87%. In Sweden, school unches enriched with phosphates- already have improved the oral hygiene of children. * This application is just one of an expanding list of uses for phosphate and its chemical ele ments and derivatives. True, fer- ilizer is still the biggest outlet, but these versatile materials are enjoying greater usage in such ields as soaps, and detergents, animal feed, foods and bever ages, water conditioning and metal clearing. i Phosphate rock is a broad term applied to natural . minerals which , have an’ ap ciabri phosphorus content. Tbese^, deposit# are mined by the open- pit method and by underground shafts. While phosphorus rock is found 1 in many countries, the larger known deposits—those of economic importance are located principally in North America, men! extravagance, but here is a sample: “Nobdy has talked about the staggering cost of military action and maneuvering regarded as necessary to meet the challenging crisis in Cuba. This is as it should be. Na monetary value qan be placed on the price of freedom, nor on a course of action if it can mean a reasonable assurance of sustain ing freedom without the devasta tion of all-out conflict, v -Rut what about the cost of in dividual freedom? While the United States is spending untold millions of dol lars for an apparent truce on the Cuban-Soviet threat, we also have spent $3 milion conquering the University of Mississippi. That is the reported figure for costs of federal operations there last month in the enrollment of the lone Negro student. Under some circumstances, it would be as impossible to put a price on the rights of the indi vidual in thi& nation as it would be to draw a line on the cost of Freedom, but the Mississippi in cident can’t be viewed in the special circumstances where price is immaterial. There, the individual deliberately picked the circumstances, and the Federal Government forced the issue un der high-handed and even irregu lar,, procedure. Further, there are questionable practices carried out in the "course of providing protection and transportation for the lone student on and off cam pus that would seem to go be yond the requirements of citi zenship rights for the average citizen. Had not the Kennedys forced the situation at the time they did, and iq, the manner in which they did, chances are that the enroll ment could have been affected at a later date in a far more peace- abel manner for all concerned— and far less costly. Those millions of dollars going down the drain for the occupa tion of the Mississippi campus could have gone a long way to ward payment of the staggering bill which we will face for prese- ent attempts to maintain peace in the Caribbean.” WHAT IS A HEART ATTACK? The heart, hardest-workiwg muscle of the body, requires a large and constant supply of blood to do its work. ThU Is supplied through the coro nary arteries which com pletely encircle and penetrate the heart muscle, as shown in the drawing. A heart attach occurs when the blood flow through the coronaries is impeded — for example, by formation of a clot.
