C./mrch 13, 1969 ; Dear Sally BY SALLY SHAW D6AR SALLY: Whenever I take my girl friend out to din ner* she protests on the man ner in which I refer to her when I order the meal when speaking to the waiter, as for example. “She'll have the perch, and I’ll have the roast beef.’ She cla- ims this is too impersonal, and thatvproperly I should speak of her as “my date.’ What have you to day about this? ROBBIE. DEAR ROBBIE: While des ignating your companion to a waiter as “she* is not exactly improper, it still is inelegant. As for referring to her as “mv date*, that’s exceedingly bad form.

C. 833-2089 £$ Metropofitan Life **— Yerk. N. Y DEAR SALLY: My mother seems to think that, at my height of 5 feet seven inches, I am much too tall to wear high hells. I am 17, and when I wear low heels to special-dress affairs - - dances and parties - - I feel terribly awkward and gauche, especially when I see how nice my girl friends look in their high-heeled shoes. Mom reads your column regularly and maybe, if you’re on my side and will say some thing about it, it will win her over. Here’s hoping! TALL TEEN u DEAR TALL TEfeN: Girls taller than you look mighty pretty in high heels. And for dress-up occasions they do add lots to any girl’s appearance, whether she be tall or short. DEAR SALLY: Is there any thing at all I can do about my two daughters-in-law who, as ment, are not at present speak ing to each other? Despite king to each other?

DEAR DISTRESSED: Have you ever thought of mentioning some thing about this to their husb ands (your sons)? Have they any influence at all with their wives? Other than this, all you can do is remain as strictly mi tral as you can and hope that ev entually these two “little girls’ will decide to grow up. DEAR SALLY: I’m a college girl of 20, and have been dating a very nice boy who also attend my college. All went well with our dates for awhile, but on our latest two evenings he has de toured on the way home to a pop ular local Movers’lane’ to park for awhile and “do a little nec king*. This I don’t go for at all and I’ve told him so. I’m afraid now that he’ll label me a prude and I’ll lose him. What have you to say about this? KITS. DEAR KITS: If holding onto this fellow depends upon your willingness to park in “lovers’ lane’ with him, the relationship isn’t worth much. A really wor thwhile boy who cares enough for a girl will admire and res pect her if she shows him she has principles and means to stick to them.

BY HELEN CAMP Extension Home Economist All ladies interested in mak ing professional-looking dra peries will be interested in the Drapery Workshop offered by the Extension Home Economist. The classes will be held March 21, 24, 25, and 26, at the Agricul tural Building in Laurens. The first class to be held on Fri day, March 21, will begin at 9 a.m. and last about two hours. Instruc tions for choosing drapery fab rics and measuring windows ac curately will be given at this class. Sewing equipment need not be brought until Monday. Monday- Wednesday classes will begin at 9 a.m. and last until 11 a.m. Each student must furnish her own sewing equipment including a portable sewing machine. Each person will make draperies fora small window in their home. To enroll, call 984 - 3021 in Lau rens and give the secretary your name and address, or write by Friday, March 14, to the County Agents Office at 219 Laurens St., Laurens, S. C., 29360. The class will be limited to ten members. Imagine how dreary your home would be without windows! No other feature contributes more to a friendly, cheerful atmosphere in your home. Whether a window treatment is planned to blend into the back ground or to be dominant in your room, windows must be consider ed an integral part of any de corating plan and be coordinated with other furnishings. Fashions for the windows offer you unlimited decorating oppor tunities. Not only are there many different ingredients from which to plan a window treatment, but also each is available in a wide range of color, style and tex ture. Consider the basic architec ture first. Study the windows from all angles before you start. Some window types can be treated sim ply; others-problem windows-- require special planning. Don’t be afraid to change the basic shape to accentuate your decorating scheme. If windows need to be made taller or short er, plan treatment with this in mind. If windows are badly spaced, use fabric to tie them together. Camouflage bad fea- NATURAL GAS IS CHEAPER DON’T DO UNNECESSARY WIRING TO AIR CONDITION YOUR HOME. INSTALL GAS AIR CONDITIONING NOW!

The different types of treat ment include draperies, curtains, shutters, blinds and shades-- used singly or in combinations of two or more. Selections of the type of treatment requires a practical analysis of your situa tion. If you have a beautiful view, select draperies to frame it. If you need ventilation, choose a treatment that will allow the maximum amount of air toenter. If the room is dark, use sheer curtains to let in maximum a- mount of light. Too much sunlight can be con trolled in many interesting and unusual ways. Blinds or shades in fabric or bright colors offer - xellent control of light and ven tilation. Remember that even the most attractive window treatment is not successful unless it meets your personal requirements for light, ventilation and privacy. When you plan a window treat ment, keep in mind that there are many different possibilities for handling each window. Take time to thoroughly examine each--enjoy yourself and select fabrics and colors you enjoy. It may take some time to find the right treatment, but the re wards of a beautifully decorated window and the contribution to your home are well worth the ef fort. FARMS and FOLKS BY HAROLD ROGERS Assistant Extension Editor CLEMSON - “Grandma pays , the bills.’ It’s a sort of startling state ment, in the age when the world seems to turn more and more to the tune of youth, but a Clem- son dairy scientist says this is the way it is as far as dairy operations are concerned. Explains Dr. W. L. Northern, principal Extension specialist in dairy science: “The good old cows in the herd are the money makers. In fact, unless a cow stays in a herd through her third lactation, she has made very little if any pro fit.’ The remarks were based on studies in Ohio, New Jersey and New York which showed the cost of raising a heifer to the fresh ening age of 28 months is ap proximately $337. This cost in cludes feed, labor, buildings, bedding, breeding fees, veteri narian, and other expenses. “Many cows leave the herd before the end of their third lactation,’ Dr. Northern says. “These cows have paid for their feed, labor, interests, and other costs -- but have left nothing for use in sending junior to college or for remodeling the kitchen.’ A good cow that stays in the herd until she completes nine lactations will make nearly five times as much profit from milk alone as the cow that leaves the herd after five lactations, ac cording to the specialist. ern, “the higher the proauction per lactation, the sooner she will start making money and the more net profit she will make, provid ing she stays in the herd, calves regularly, and maintains high production.’ Dr. Northern didn’t know it, but about the time he was pay ing tribute to maturity in the dairy herd, the grandma of grandmas* was setting another record in neighboring Oconee County. This is the remarkable old Jersey of Mr. and Mrs. J. M Harris of the South Union com munity. “Old Red* is believed to be more than 36 years. She’s now blind, but has just given birth to her 34th calf. Biologically, this is supposed to be impossible. Cows generally don’t live more than 20 years and for one to be having calves at her age is something like a human over 100 to be giving birth. The ancient Jersey has been owned by the Harrises all her life. They can’t pinpoint the e- life. They can’t pinpoint the exact date of her birth, but fig- She’s one “grandma’ who has really paid her way.

OUTZ County Agent Fertilizer is cheaper, es pecially Nitrogen. In fact, some forms of Nitrogen are the cheap est it has been in many years. I suppose, the reason is increase supply. It seems that every large fertilizer company has con structed its’ own Nitrogen mak ing facilites. This, of course, makes the supplies available in much greater quantities. This is the best news I have heard in quite some time. As I ride through the county, I can see where we need to use a lot more Nitrogen on pastures to increase our quality and quantities of graz ing. Small grains should also be nefit from the cheaper prices. I certainly hope that this will be reflected in cheaper price of mixed fertilizer. Everyone knows in this area fertilizer must be used at high rates because of our poor soil. I would suggest on the ferti lizing of crops that you first get a soil sample to see the a- vailable supply of phophorus and potash that is in your soil. You can then use fertilizer far more intelligently. Laurens County is the third highest user of ferti lizer in the entire Piedmont area. Anderson and Spartanburg coun ties led the line. Last year Lau rens County utilized over 16,700 tons of mixed materials. It is little wonder you see so many fertilizer salesman around our county. Recently we have been asking our readers if they have what they think might be a large size tree. There is a state program in existence trying to locate the largest tree of every species. For example, Newberry County claims to have the largest Mul berry tree being 9 feet,' 1 * inches in circumference and48 feet high. Greenwood County claims to have the largest White Oak. It has a circumference of 20 feet, 3 inches. Greenwood also is claim ing the largest Pecan tree with a circumference of 17 feet, 2 inches. As of today Laurens County makes no claim as to any large trees. So what we are after is, asking land owners to mea sure in circumference any tree considered to be a record. When you measure, measure four feet above the ground. Call the office and we will check it against the listing and if it is larger than what we have listed, we will have an official check made. Of course, the purpose of this is to locate outstanding examples of the var ious species that grow in South Carolina, to obtain the coopera tion of the tree owners to pro tect and preserve these specimens as landmarks for future generations to enjoy, and to stimulate interest in and a greater appreciation of trees as individuals and as a natural re source. * ♦ * Bible, Science To Be Discussed At Leesville George L.
