THIS CLINTON CSSONICLE s. c. H As'f') U, IMS FOOTBAll FORECAST Week rtf SepUmber 28, IMS By A. E. BROWN Except for ,a smell handful of games, last week’s forecasting proved to be highly successful. Probably no one could predict that little Memphis State would tie mighty Ole Miss, but tie they did, and a scoreless one at that! Perhaps John Vaught’s muscular boys have lost some of their steam this year, but the next few games should tell that tale. Florida State loudly announced that it is a team to be reckoned with this 1 year in its reverberat ing whipping of favored Miami; George Mira, Miami aerial ex pert, became mired by the even better tossing of the FSU backs in that game. North Carolina State showed an ability that few pre-season pollsters had foreseen in its 30-14 trouncing of respected Maryland. As for Wake Forest and Vanderbilt — well, they lost again. Over' on the winning side of last week’s list, some / real squeakers appeared: Clemson seemed to have won it until after the half, when, as Frank Howard said the next day, “the Sooners proved to be Rathers;” Texas seemed uncertain in what should have been an easy game for them against Tulane; North Carolina had to bear down in Winning Teams My Guess Actual Score Losing Teams My Guess Actual Score . .. m SOUTHERN CALIF. 23 MISSISSIPPI 21 NORTHWESTERN 24 DUKE 34 SYRACUSE 21 NAVY 44 32 FLORIDA STATE *ENN.

The remainder of the choices went almost as pre dicted, including our own P. C.’uns. To those who heard the game over a local station, the air and the ground was virtually fill ed with scampering Purple Hose. It is already a winning season for Cally Gault and his crew, and a packed stadium is practic ally guaranteed for this Satur day night’s tilt with Lenoir Rhyne. This week finds us a bit more confident than before, but in a game in which the eventual out come may depend on a right dr wrong bounce of the ball, on an offiical’s eyesight, or on a team’s or a single player’s “readiness,’’ there is always plenty of room for error. This Saturday offers at least five games that could go either way: Southern Califor nia goes against Bud Wilkinson’s tough Oklahoma team, and, al though the Trojans won by only two touchdowns over a compara tively easy Colorad lost week, their chances for continuing their winning streak look good, even against the Sooners; Mississippi, dazed from a virtual loss to Memphis State in a 0-0 tie, should return very much in anger against Kentucky, which won convincingly last week; Georgia Tech, winner by a wide margin over Florida, takes on the un happy but always game Tigers of Clemson in an inter-sectional bat tle; South Carolina, ever-hopeful, should handle the Terrapins of Maryland with perhaps as much ease as N. C. State exhibited last week; Tennessee will find arch rival Auburn a good deal tougher than it did Richmond, but the Vols are due a winning season, and this may be the one they have been looking for these many years; and Lenoir Rhyne will come to Clinton looking for an other leaf for its growing laurels, against Presbyterian. The Hose should, however, thwart that wish easily if they play as they did in Portsmouth. The students and the town will be with them this time to aid in the ring ing of the victory bell. Although one can never be certain, the re mainder of the games on the list should wind up as predicted. EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishop Herbert Spaagh FARMS AND FOLKS By L. C. HAMILTON Clemsoo College Extension Information Specialist History has a way of repeating itself. One generation refuses to learn from another. None are so blind as those who will not see. We are witnessing an amazing spectacle in this country today— a generation of people living in physical abundance, s 1 o w 1 y starving spiritually. Forgetful of our spiritual heri tage, we are slowly and delib erately secularizing man who was created in the image of God. There is an old fable of the Arab and the camel. Do you re member it? It happened on a cold night following a day of travel. An Arab put up his tent for sleep. In the course of the night, the camel called his mas ter and asked if he could put his nose inside the tent to keep warm. Then came the request for th* head, the neck, the shoul ders. Finally, the camel was in the tent and the Arab was out. The world is on fire with ag gressive atheism. In less th«n 100 years atheistic Communism has brought approximately half of the world under its control. What are we doing aibout it in these United States? We were founded as a Christian nation. The first colleges were Christian institutions. Material in the early New England primers was large ly taken from the Bible. Now the Bible is definitely on the de fensive. The Supreme Court has outlawed it from our public schools. Atheistic organizations have announced that it is their intention to take all references to God out of the public life. The atheistic virus is contagi ous and spreads over into the churches. Slowly we are sabo taging our whole Christ! ah framework of living. The so-call ed “Continental” Sunday Ur growing rapidly in the United States. More and more places of business are staying open seven days a week. They would not find it profitable to stay open on Sunday if they were not patron ized by church people. Sunday is largely becoming a day of recreation for baseball, golf, etc. Slowly, the camel push es a bit more of him—if into the tent. Conventions are now scheduled for Sundays. I can re member 30 years ago when this commenced by having the con ventions to open on Sunday night with a memorial service. Now the whole Sunday is taken over. Recently Dr. George Crane wrote in his column, “The Weary Clinic,’’ “This dangerous sabo tage of traditional American re ligious habits is helping tmder- sidiously as European socialism mine our moral fiber just as hi- end Communism are gnawing away at our virile American “free enterprise system.' “Europe had Us day. It is now decadent and a “broken rood,’ as the Bible states. Don’t be too complacent when reading of water contamination problems in other parts of the country. Your “pure” water supply may not stack up to its build-up. For the last twenty years the South Carolina scene has been characterized by the rapid growth of suburban areas and what amounts to strip villages along major highways and roads. These concentrated plac es of habitation have brought with them increased problems of water contamination. We have knowledge of one counyt health department mak ing a survey of suburban wells. Out of about 75 wells tested, only two cootained water which could be certified as “safe.” Not all suburban areas would get this kind of bad news. For a number of reasons “good” water might be found in one section and contaminated water in another. And many suburban residential areas are served by a central water supply from plants with treatment facilities. I talked this week to Robert B. Knight, a public accountant of Lancaster, who also heads the Lancaster County Water and Sewer Commission. He says the problem is some areas are more serious than most people realize. I “I dug a well in 1960 and found it contaminated. We dug another well and found it unfit for use, too. Now, all the water used for food and drinking pur poses at my house comes through the hot water heater.” Because of the particular soil and rock strata in the Lancas ter area, water is not easy to find. A vein can escape a drill easier than a good quarterback can step around a tackier. F. Y. Privette, who lives just outside of town, dug a 200-foot well and failed to find water. Although he sank $1600 into the hole, he was forced to try in another place — this time in partnership with a neighbor — for an additional cost of $800. Across the street from Pri vette, O’Dell Hunter dug three wells and failed. A final try— squarely in the front yard—was successful. A neat well house on the front yard now attests to the never-say-die effort. But if you find the precious water you have on assurance that it will be as pure as you like it. Everett B. Baker ran up the white flag after digging 200 feet* into the ground only to find the water contaminated by a distant septic tank. He quick ly financed a halflmile water line to the city water supply. County Agent F. W. Cannon says some of the distant rural communities have their water problems, too — especially the strip villages along the high ways" and cross-roads. Happily, the Water and Sew er Commission and the Rural Areas Development Committee are taking a county-wide ap proach in their planning. Plans are now underway to pipe treated water extensively into the rural communities, and Cannon says, “These people are glad to get it.” The rural com munities of Elgin, Pleasant Hill and Rich Hill — many miles from the central water supply in Lancaster — have already signed up. The commission’s water treatment plant near Lanaaster is being enlarged from a daily capacity of 600,000 gallons to 1,200,000 gallons. Financing is by loans and grants. Of course, another way to fight water contamination is by more adequately taking cars of sewerage. At present, sewer projects are underway in the Gooches Croosroads and Lynn wood Drive sections just out side the Lancaster city limits. This project will replace septic tanks which have been one source of contamination. Oct. 1, 1885 — Special delivery mail service went into effect throughout the U. S., though it was restricted to towns of at least 4,000 residents. The additional charge was ten cents a letter. Oct. 8, 1904 — The first auto mobile race fro the Vanderbilt Cup started at Hicksville, Long Island, over a 30-mile course.
