Here’s my reason: My fe mer walked out on my mother fifteen years ago, and recently my older brother did the same thing to his wife. I feel that thlf sort of thing Is in my genes, and that it Isn’t smart for me to marry. What do you think about this? HESITANT HENRY. DEAR HESITANT: i agree with your girl friend..and I also think you’re using this as an excuse to escape marriage. Why don’t you seekprofesslonal help and hit on the REAL rea son? DEAR SALLY: Our nephew, a lawyer, recently handled a legal matter for us, and handled it ex ceptionally well. It has now been more than a month since the final settlement, and we have not yet received a bill for his ser vices. Shall we Just assume that he is not going to charge us, or should we mention something a- bout this to him? MIDWEST. DEAR MIDWEST: By all means, get in touch with him and inquire about his fee. If he de clines to charge you, thank him sincerity to your expressions of appreciation, send him some sort of personal gift for his kindness. DEAR SALLY: I’m a terribly embarrassed girl of ly.

Y cuter boy asked me for the same night, and since this was a boy I had long been wanting to date, I accepted and phoned the first boy telling him that "an emergency* had arisen in my home that prevented me from going with him on that evening. Well, I almost sank through the floor that night when I and the second boy ran Into the first boy at the theatre! I’m almost sick with embarrassment! Is there anything at all I can do to make things right with the first boy? SHARON. DEAR SHARON: Pm afraid not You’ve already demon strated to him your lack of integrity and honor, and if the world gets around, it’sgoingto do some unpleasant things to your popularity. DEAR SALLY: My husband and I are embroiled in a big argument over the naming of our first child, which is due in about five months. If it’s a boy, I want very much to name him for my husband--but he is vio lently opposed to this. He was named for his father and claims it was plain torture growing up with the name of “Junior* tack ed onto him. He further claims this just makes for confusion when a father and son carry the same name, and that there’s no sense in it. How can we settle this argument? MRS. JUNIOR. DEAR MRS. JUNIOR: Such an argument over something not all that important! Since your husband feels so strongly about another junior in the family, surely you can go along with him on this. And incidentally, aren’t you even THINKING of girls’ names? Cfe V 666 AT SEMINARY BOARD MEETING —Dr. Marc C. Weersing, left, Presi dent of Presbyterian College.

C., Nov. 26, 1970 Farm-City Week Coincides With Harvest BY M.L. OUTZ COUNTY AGENT This is Farm-City week. The purpose of Farm-City Week is to give farmers and city folks a chance to get together and chat about their activities and what they are accomplishing. This event coincides with the harvest season and Thanksgiv ing. Farmers have an impressive story to tell, but here is what I hear most. "Agriculture has gone from our county.’ It has changed, I’ll admit, but it hasn’t gone. For instance, we have one farm in Laurens county that NOVEMBER SAVINGS This Week's Special SWEATERS SKIRTS 311 49 R*g. $2.10 Valu«l produces enough eggs to give every person in the county an egg a day. This is Knight bro ther’s at Princton who have 75,000 layers. Julian Burton at Madden’s also has 75,000. This would give us another, and we have actually enough poultry to supply a half dozen eggs a day for each person in the county. On the dairy side we pro duce enough milk to supply each individual a pint and a half every day of the year, assuming that we have 50,000 people. On beef cattle, to our best judgment we feel like we produce close to 100 pounds of beef for each individual in the county annually. Of course, this type of agriculture is so dif ferent from what we are all use to that we are all inclined to say farming is gone. I guess it depends on what kind of farm ing you are looking for. We have not discussed the other phases of agriculture in which we are involved. A great many of our citi zens who were raised on the farm but now live elsewhere feel like if you don’t have a mule and plow stock, and a hoe in your hand, that here is no thing going on. Those are now considered the “goodole days.’ However, none of us want to return to that type of agricul ture. I do say, we have a lot of room to grow and expand in agriculture, but our people do deserve to make a living out of their investment, and I certainly do not intend to en courage people to stay on the farm unless he can make a decent standard of living.

LAYAWAY OR CHARGE IT AT CATO'S I was talking with Dr. Gol den who is head of our Ex tension Economics department at Clemson, and he said the consumers have the best se lection and the ctieapest fond of any country in the world. He said there are $109 Billion Dollars spent for food in our country and farmers receive only-HD of this. Farmers share has decreased over the years due in most part to higher cost in marketing operations-- that is the fancy packaging, etc. During the 60’s our hourly earnings of employees in food marketing rose 50 r . "It should be pointed out that although food prices rose 19G during the GO’s, real per capita income after taxes and charge in prices rose by 31 r t . Food prices simply have not gone up as fast as real in come. This is supported by ttie fact that tlie average U.S. con sumer can buy his family fed supply for 1G 1/Y of his in come (after taxes). In 1960 the average U.S. Consumer was spending 20 r ( of his income af ter taxes for food. The average consumer intlie British Isles spends 25', Ja pan 37 r ( , and Russia 50' ( . This is for less comparable diet.* One thing that we can always count on, and that is the con sumer sending off loud and clear when food prices go up just a little bit, while the pri ces of cars, refrigerators, household goods, etc., can go up constantly almost unnoticed. I am always amused that our daily newspapers that are back ed by a lot of capital never hesitate to increase prices, and, yet, when the price of milk or some other farm com- modity increases we get a lot of editorials, etc., from the same people that ask that they receive higher prices for their labor and investment. Yes, we have a lot of ag riculture but not the variety that I and most middle age folks were brought up on. TIMELY TIPS BY COUNTY AGENTS HOME ECONOMISTS A LEAFLET, “Removing Stains From Fabrics,* - is available at the County Exten sion Office. This leaflet has in formation on removing cran berry and greasy stains from table linens. WINTERING BEEF CATTLE Begin feeding the herd your lowest grade hay and silage before they begin losing excessive weight. Don’t wait too long. Save the best feeds for the “hard* cold periods. REMOVING MOTH BALL ODOR - Place stored blan kets in a dryer one at a time, and allow to tumble for 10 to 15 minutes at the cool air setting. SHRUBS AND TREES - should be transplanted early in the winter months. Plants set early make root growth during the winter months which en ables them to become estab lished before warm weather. CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIA TION MEETING - Cattle pro ducers of Laurens county are asked to keep in mind the dates of December 2 and December 3, for a meeting at Clemson. I’m sure that everyone will profit by attending this meet ing. Any further questions, please call the County Agent’s office.
