If you want to get atfway from the enclosure of skyscrapers: if you want to avoid the coal dust of cities; if you want to evade ihe odor of paper mills; if you .want to forget the frozen pipes and broken limbs of the up-coun- Iry—then come to Summer ville. The old-timer tourist will re gret to learn that the former Carolina Inn has been demol ished. However, very few landmarks here are disap pearing. “Flowertown” offers at this season—graceful moss, dignified magnolias, stately camellias, soft wisteria, climbing jasmine, “storched- lace” dogwood, and lovely, pretty, beautiful azaleas—all of which are the pride of Sum merville. I If God considers the grain of the fields, the grass of the ground, the birds os they nest, and the lily of Scriptural sig nificance, He surely looks with favor on the Jazalea. To ride around Summerville takes away the ugliness in life, the sensitiveness of mind, the irurt in the heart, and the grief of one’s life—it helps re*- store the soul. tied loves bemtty ®nd gifts to' Simvherville are*- 2 - seed, soil, climate.

J. Finley of MountviUe, it means pre paring land for his 4-H pro jects. Allen expects to spend a busy summer looking after his sorghum, garden, field crops, pasture and his purbred Here ford heifer “Betty” and her new son. Allen became a 4-H mem ber in 1961 when he joined the MountviUe Juniior Club. Because of his work in the 4-H Club in MountviUe, he be came interested in beef cat tle and in 1964 with his fath er’s assistance, he purchased a heifer calf. “Betty” was soon broken to halter- many hours were spept grooming her and leading her in preparations for the fairs that fall. Tlie hard work soon began to pay off, however, when Bet ty was declared the best fit ted animal in the first fair she entered. She won three blue ribbons in 1964, four blue riblxms and one red rib bon in 1965 and three blue riblmns in 1966.' For his hard work . and achievement with his heifer at the Upper State Fair, New berry - Saluda Fair and Lau rens County Fair, Allen was awarded a trophy in 1965 and he won it again in 1966. Allen worked out with the Livestock Judging Team last year and plans to try out for the team again in 1967. In addition to his other ac tivities, Allen finds time to bo a member of the newly form ed Electronics Club for ad vanced 4-H Electric Club members and is a member of the “Devilaircs” a stage band at Clinton High ^phool where he is a 9th grade student. . Allen is planning on taking Agriculture in College after finishing high school, and I know he will be a success. FLOWERTOWN, U. S. A.

Every day, hundreds of people from all walks of life are making thousands of dollars by writing songs. Only a few years ago, a young man with practically no musical education was a bellhop just barely making a living in Nashville, Ten nessee. Today, that former bellhop is a wealthy young man because he used his natural talent to succeed as a songwriter. Housewives, truck drivers, lawyed, factory workers, students, salesmen, laborers, teachers, secretaries, clerks and people from virtually every imaginable situation have reaped fantastic rewards for their songwriting efforts. They had no special training and most had no musical education. They simply used their natural talent. Here, at last, if a highly valuable book that reveals step-by-step tire secrctsgrf earning big money as a songwriter. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING Just about everyone at one time or another has written a song. Maybe it was while singing in the shower, or while washing the dishes, or driv ing the car. Perhaps after realizing that we just made up a song of our own we said to ourselves, "Hey, that's pretty good . . . / ought to do this for a Hung." Probably then you did nothing more about it. Strangely enough, that song might have been worth a lortune to you in money, and a fortone in contentment knowing you are doing the work you idways dreamed of doing, but you thought it was for other “special” people. The "special” people, however, are not special at all. They are just people like you and your neighbor; me and mv neighbor. The only thing special about song writers is Hut they do something about the songs that thev write. They applied their ability, and you Tel it pass. It might surprise you that some of the top prolcssional songwriters get their ideas for songs while singing in the shower, washing the dishes, or driving the car. Professional song writers then are not special other than the fact that they do not let opportunities go by. They say that "Opportunity knocks only once.” Thia is not true in songwriting. It knocks many times. Every time we think of a title, a melody, a catch phrase, an idea : . . this is opportunity knocking. This book will help and encourage you to open flic door to those opportunities and learn what to do once the door is open. From what I have learned, and the mistakes I've made; with the helpful advice of other song writers, and with your own ability, this book will show you the way to the rewards of money and contentment that others just like you have dis- covered by writing songs. You will find as I have found, that the rewards are waiting for you if you make an attempt to reach them. This b«ek is net a Ung, boring watte of words.
