Some People Already Have Pruned Trees BY M. L. OUTZ County Agent Last week’s weather spoiled a good many people. I saw a num ber of people pruning fruit trees and grape vineyards. Well it’s time. February is here, so we can expect to get a few warm days along. However, let’s not get to enthused as we are sure to have some more bitter cold days yet. I was looking at some informa tion from Ray Ferrie, our Hor- ticulturest at Clemson, and we find that peach trees have already all the chill hours needed. So look out, they’ll be blooming the first extended pretty spell. I noticed a maple tree with buds swollen. But nature has a way of controlling those early buds. The cold weather we had re cently was the coldest I can re member in this county. Some say we have had colder. I have a small pond and the ice has never been as thick as it was during that coldest period. It was fully an inch thick. The temperature might have been as low, but may be not as long as period of time. Floyd Coates told me that it put him back to the depression years in as much as the plumbing in his house was frozen up. I had a calf born the coldest night. The temperature was two degrees. He survived and is do ing well. Nature some how takes care of things that man doesn’t bother too much. My wife wanted to bring the calf in the house, being a city girl. It probably would have died had we done it. One thing for sure we will have a good many shrubs damaged from the cold. I noticed Aze- leas leaves in many instances are burned and probably the bud have been damaged. Camellias blooms have frozen, as I have discovered in many cases. The bark and cambium layer on young trees and shrubs may have fro zen. This doesn’t usually slow up until later in the summer when we have a dry spell. I’ve tried for several years to get some figs started at my home but I haven’t had much luck. The freezes seem always a step a- head of me. But I always try again because a good fig adds a lot to your living. For you who like sweet corn I’m trying to get local seed stores to handle the new silver queen variety. It is the best I’ve ever tasted. * * * “Shoe” Sabotage The word sabotage comes from sabot, the French word for shoe, after a disgruntled 19th-century French worker clogged his employer’s ma chinery with his wooden shoe Catholic Pentecostals. By Kevin and John Ranagrhan. 266 papres. Paulist Press Deus Books. 1969. Catholisicm in the United States both reflects and is reflected in the American experience. That is what this '.survey by John Tracy Ellis, an emi nent Catholic historian, is all about. It points up again a relationship too often underestimated as to its complexity, namely, the reciprocal influence at work between a religious group and the society in which it exists. Ellis’ survey is chronological. Roman Catholi cism came to the colonies in three major European styles: the Spanish in Florida and in the Old South west, the French along the Canadian border and in Mississippi River settlements, and the English along the Atlantic coast, particularly in Maryland. Each style had its own strengths and weaknesses. For most of the nation’s history, from 1790 to the First World War, many if not most of the church’s major problems revolved around the im migrant. Ethnic tensions and language differen ces between oldtimers and newcomers had to be ac complished within the church, while pressure from nativist movements outside the church made as similation into the mainstream of American life that much more difficult. By 1908, as the influence (and wealth) of American Catholicism came to be recognized in Rome, the United States ceased to be regarded by the church as a missionary territory. The increas ing participation of Catholic laymen in civic and parish life, and, most recently, the general recep tiveness of Catholics to changes emanating from the Second Vatican Council, are further indications of the coming of age of American Catholicism. Ellis’ book is a companion volume to Win- throp Hudson’s American Protestanism and Na than Glazer’s American Juadism. The three to gether make an excellent introduction to the three major religious traditions in the United States and also to some neglected aspects of our national his tory. Catholic Pentecostals describes one of the more remarkable developments in recent American Catholicism: the emergence of charismatic groups on university campuses such as Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, and Michigan State. The mystical ex perience described as "baptism in the Holy Spirit” includes the practice of "speaking in tongues” and is accompanied by a profound sense of inner joy. This account, written by two leaders in the move ment, includes testimonials from participants, a theological rationale for such things, and some discussion of similar manifestations in earlier times. Those who are acquainted with similar phe nomena within Protestanism will find this an in teresting contribution to the literature.
