The "Friendshipe'
arrived in 1636
Capt. oitJ.
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

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.

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.”
