EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishep Herbert Spaagh In my home there is an* old piano which is very dear to me. It was my mother’q piano. Precious memories g a fh e r about that piano. To me it is the piano of pianos. It was new when my mother and father commenced housekeeping. It was the most treasured object of furniture in the house. I re member my mother playing beautifully upon it, as she was an accomplished musician. I commenced ta practice at the age of ten when I was given the opportunity of piano stud ies. I took my first lesson* from the same teacher under whom my mother studied and graduated in music. Pinmtratlng Reporta from the World of Sporte. Hear eporta newa radio reported emery . weekday morning by tka “man on the Inalde"- HOWARD COSELL PEAKING WORTS SdOKSli I • • No wonder I love this piano above all musical instruments. It brought musical happiness into my mother’s life and into my own youhtfui days. I still sit down and play upon it with fond memories. When I was a very small child I didn’t appreciate that piano and its purpose. One Christmas I was given a small set oy toy tools, including a little hammer. One day my mother heard a tapping noise in the room where the piano stood. She didn’t see me, but she became suspicious and went to investigate the noise. To her horror and amazement, she found me standing at the end of the piano, hammer in hand, striking it with gusto. As she came upon me, she said that I commented, “Look Mama, at the funny white 'marks this hammer makes.” I was making marks all : right, but they weren’t funny to her. Many years later when I was grown and in the furniture business, I tried to undo some of the damage I had done when was a child. I refinished it, and it was a real job. I strip ped off the old varnish down to the wood and cleaned off those scars in the varnish. But I found dents of the small ham mer even down in the wood which I then sanded smooth. The scars have long since gone, but the’memory lingers on. Many of us have inflictec scars upon some other life last year. The New Year offers good reminder to us to go back to remove them. I had to wai until I grew up to manhocK before I removed the scars off the old piano. Perhaps you are too immature now to try to re move some-of the scars that you have inflicted. Perhaps you are childishly holding on to some grudge or some hurt feeling. Commence your year by- doing some life refiniyhing I was always glad that my mother was living when I re finished that piano. The New Year offers a good reminder to dean up some of the ec made in 1963. Don’t wait until it is too late. Farmers Approve Marketing Quotas For Cotton in 1964 Farmers have approved mar keting quotas for the 1964 crop of upland cotton, H. A. Ropp, Manager, Laurens Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Office, has announced. Returns show that growers of upland cotton approved market ing quotas for the 1964 crop by a 94.2 per cent favorable vote. Re turns indicate a total vote of 229,583. Of this total, 216,167 vot ed for and 13,416 voted against. These preliminary quota votes compared with last year’s re sults, when 203,310 or 93.7 per cent of the total upland cotton vote of 217,020 were fdr and 13,- 710 against. In Laurens County growers vot ed 371 in favor of quotas and 17 against quotas, or almost 96 per cent in favor of quotas, Mr. Ropp said. *■ Approval of quotas by cottonJJ.. growers means, that (1) quotas with penalties on excess cotton from farms where the allotment is not exceeded will be in effect for the 1964 crop, and (2) price support to growers who do not exceed their farm allotments will >e at the full level available. The marketing quota penalty on excess” upland cotton will be 50 per cent of the upland cotton ►arity price as of June 15, 1964. The penalty under the 1963 cotton marketing quota program is 20.1 cents per pound on the excess. The marketing quota penalty is determined by multiplying the acreage planted to cotton in ex cess of the farm’s cotton skfreage allotment by the marketing quota penalty rate. Steven O.
