BY M. L. OUTZ
County Agent
Bali Hai Ranch has scheduled
the Annual Horsemanship Day
May 10. It is free, and everyone
is invited.
All young people should attend.
You will learn a lot of basic
principals in training a horse.
Experts will conduct the pro
gram. The following subjects will
be covered: Halter breaking and
training; Trailer loading; Train
ing the jumping horse and hunt
er; Parade of stallions; Green
breaking and proper fitting; Ad
vance training, and finally show
manship.
Since there is so much inter
est in horses, especially among
our young people, I hope that
each of you will plan to attend.
As I said at the beginning, it is
free. All you have to do is fur
nish your own lunch. You can
fix your own sandwiches or buy
them out tl>ere. In addition to
the various subjects material of
fered, you will see some of the
best horses in our area, and also
Charlais cattle.

Farmers interested mplanting
summer grazing should try some
of the new Hybreds Sudan. They
are fast growing and high yield
ing. Almost any variety will do
a good job. I would suggest you
do a good job of land prepara
tion, use plenty of fertilizer along
with a lot of nitrogen sidedress
ing. If you get the rain you will
surely have a time keeping up
with it.
Maxie Hunter of Ora seems to
be cleaning up the whole country
side. Maxie, along with his bro
ther Ben, have some beautiful
pasture land. Maxie’s new brick
home is located so that he can
easily check each pasture. These
pastures are beautiful at this time
of the year.
Drivers under 25 years of age
account for only one-fifth of A-
merica’s drivers, but were in
volved in one-third of all fatal
highway crashes in 1968, accord
ing to an annual report from The
Travelers Insurance Companies.

Corporate Safety Plan
Alexander (Lex) Hamilton of
Clinton is pioneering a new con
cept in safety programs for The
Torrington Co.
Hamilton has been named cor

which encompassed all of Tor
rington plants.
Hamilton, who has been asso
ciated with Torrington since 1935,
said of the new program:
"First of all, we can all learn
from each "ther. For example,
a safety hazard which might be
uncovered at our Clinton plant
might also exist at Torrington
without anyone being aware of it.
We would immediately report ttie
situation to all divisional com
mittees so that they could look
into it at their own location and,
if a similar tiazard exists, take
steps to correct it. .
Hamilton’s first 24 years with
Torrington were spent at South
Bend, Ind., where tie serve as
plant engineer and safety direc
tor. While tie was in charge of
safety there, a record of 870
days without a lost time injury
was attained.
In 1959, he went to Walhalla,
S. C., as resident engineer with
Torrington to assist in design
and construction of that plant.
In 1960, he came to Clinton on ttie
same assignment. More recently,
he has assisted in the preliminary
planning of the Honea Path plant.

Two Are Fined
In Sticker Missuse
Two Heath Springs men have
been charged with offenses a-
gainst the state’s motor vehicle
Inspection law as a result of an
investigation by the State Highway
Patrol.
Col. P. Frank Thompson said
charges had been made against
one man for displaying an in
spection certificate without his
car having been inspected, and
against another man for having
sold an inspection certificate
without having inspected the ve
hicle.
Both cases have been tried at
Heath Springs, with the man who
sold the sticker being fined $38
and the recipient of the stick
er $28.
Ttie Patrol conducted an inves
tigation after the owner of an of
ficial inspection station reported
that some stickers had been taken
from his station without his know
ledge. One sticker was traced to
a 1956 Chevrolet; several stick
ers were handed over to the in
vestigating officer, and some
other stickers were found hidden
on the premises of the inspect
ing station.
Vehicle inspection certificates
are assigned to inspection sta
tions by serial numbers on the
certificates. Each station is held
accountable for the numbers as
signed it, and per icxlically the re
cords are audited by Highway De
partment personnel to assure that
the stickers are being properly
handled.

THIS ONE

A hospital patient was coming out of an anes
thetic and said, “Why are all the blinds shut,
Doctor?” The Doctor replied, “Well, there's a
fire across the road and I didn’t want you to
wake up and think the operation was a fail
ure.”
This Is NO Joke—
From every indication we have now, the S.C.
Sales Tax will be raised to four per cent very
soon. That will cost you $30.00 on a three
thousand dollar car. Why not trade NOW and
save that tax?
