Henry Thomas was a weaver, John Dobson was a husbandman (farmer) and Richard Clark was a carpenter. These three men embarked on the ship "Friend- shipe" and. to quote the records: "now riding at an ankere (an chor) in the Ft ever (river) of Thames, bound for Virginia". The year was 1636 and although the date of departure is not avail able, the records show the date of arrival as March 1636 Cap tain Leonard Bolts was the mas ter of this vessel and among the crew was a man called Samuel Lawson who is listed as a gunner. This man's duty was to protect the passengers from the pirate ships that lay in wait for merchant ships carrying passengers. It took the three men many weeks to travel from the North of England down to the Port of London, as this had to be done in stages . Olhomaa This name began as a sur name in the Middle Ages and stemmed from the personal name given to a child at baptism It achieved prominence in Wales, England and Scotland and estates were owned by Thomas families throughout the British Isles. The coat of arms illustrated shows a black and gold chev ron between three black falcons on a silver background lobsmt Dob is a p>et form of Robert and the Dobson name developed into a surname in the 12th century from 'Sop of Dob’ Notable families of the name lived in Norfolk and Lancaster and m these two places coats of arms were granted Of these we have selected the more srgnificant and this shows a silver back ground on which are six red fleurde lys Clarkf There are sixteen coats of arms in the heraldic records to the name Clarke In the latter part of the 17th century a Richard Clark was m charge of the Royal household and bore as his coat of arms the one illustrated here £3 ah DR. ROBERT D McCUUOUGH Dr. Robert D. McCullough of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was elected President of Lions International at the Associa tion’s 53rd Annual Conven tion in Atlantic City, New Jersey, July 1-4. Serving as the 54th President of the world’s largest humanitarian service organization, Mc Cullough leads some 932,000 members in 24,400 clubs lo cated in 146 countries and geographic areas throughout the world. Lions International is best known for its aid to the blind and sight conservation acti- vitios, international relations programs, and its many com munity service projects. “In volvement Now” will be the primary theme during Dr. McCullough’s 1970-1971 Presidential Year. The im- {fortance of taking an active interest in the welfare of the community and the necessity for increased international understanding will both be emphasized. Modern Poultry Facility Planned BY M. L. OUTZ Julian Burton, Ronnie Sand ers, and Curtis Burtonarebusy constructing the latest facility in poultry production. These gentlemen have faith in the fu ture. Mr. Burton says poultry production does not involve risk as far as weather condi tions are concerned. And he prefers this type of agztoaltur- al enterprise to row crops. He plans to increase his livestock production with the poultry compost and improve the whole of Maddens Station before it’s over with! He, along with Ronnie Sand ers and Curtis Burton, are con structing two facilities that will have a total capacity of 45,000. Each house will be a separate unit and will include a cool er, all the automatic equipment, to gathering the eggs, disposing of wastes, etc. Manure will be handled by a long cable that will be drawn by an electric motor, and dumped into a manure spreader and taken to the field. Eggs will be gathered on a belt and brought to a central point where they will be boxed and placed in the cooler. Each of these houses has a total length of 519 feet, and will be some thing new in this part of the country in egg production. Mr. Burton says Ronnie Sanders will take care of one unit, and Cur tis Burton will take care of the other. He says that he, himself, already has a unit for 30,000, which he and Mrs. Burton in tend to run. I certainly want to wish Cur tis and Ronnie the very best of luck in this new enterprise, and I am sure with the determina tion both of these young men have, they will come out with flying colors. Both men like the outdoors, and they like poul try - so they will surely suc ceed. Mr, Burton says that he is planning to ship his eggs to Central Soya in Newberry. He also is doing most of his busi ness as far as feed and medi cation information, etc. is con cerned, with the Central Soya people, which is headed up by Mr. Dave Waldrep. Poultry business is nut only increasing on the Burton Farm, but on other farms as well in Laurens County.Several have it under consideration. I had a call last night from Dr. M. B. Nickles, who says rats are giving him a hard time as far as his azaleas and other shrubbery are concerned. 1 told him about our rat con trol program that will be under way this fall, and we are in hopes that we can go out and de monstrate that this material will certainly eliminate this pest Anyone who is interested in the rat control program can get in touch with us this fill, as we plan to handle this rat bait at a very reasonable price. James Martin was recently appointed Chairman of our Hol stein Club. This happened at a meeting last Thursday evening where dairymen and wives en joyed a supper and a film by the Holstein-Friesian Asso ciation. Congratulations to Mr. Martin. Mark Simmons of Mountville has done a fine job of check ing the cotton in his dad’s fields this summer. Mark is doing a thorough examination and send ing in his report to our Office and also a report to Clemson. This probably the most thorough examination as far as insect infestation is concerned that I have seen. It will surely be worthy in the months ahead in the insect control program. Harry and Bill League of Clinton, in spite ofthe dry wea ther, have a good field of corn and a field of E56-A that is go ing to make a lot of silage. I am sure they are going to need it. -r . I V C. F. OAKLEY Mr. Oakley Recalls Early Days At CM “1 haven’t changed jobs in over 40 years,” said C. F. Oakley, as he retired June 26 from Clinton Mills Plant *2. Oakley, a spooler fixer dur ing his entire tenure at Clinton Mills, proudly recalled his early days of employment. “I came to Clinton, January 27, 1930. I made $.63 an hour, an extremely high wage for the 30’s.” He recalled the days ofthe de pression when the plant closed for 90 days. 'You couldn’t get a job anywhere,” stated Oakley. “I just had to wait on the plants to re-open.” “ My advice to anyone is to go to work with a company that you like and stay with them. This is the only way you can build any security.” Oakley, who has always been popular in the Clinton commu nity, and devoted to Calvary Baptist Church, plans to devote much of his time to gardening and relaxing. Oakley, noted that many things had changed in the last 40 years. In 1930, air-con ditioned plants, paid holidays, overtime, and paid vacations were unheard of; needless to say anything about profit shar ing and retirement In those days, you didn’t have anything to fall back on when you got old. *T will be 70 years old in February and I’ve always won dered how it would feel to be retired.” LEONARD-MARLER INSURANCE AGENCY PImmm 831-1121 200 N.
