THEY SHALL NOT PAS8 ..1 drove down from tlio mountains last Sunday afternoon. Being alone and unencumbered with thought and back-seat talk, I had an opportunity to take a worm's eye view of traffic as it exists today. . .Theer were not less than 5,000 cars and trucks on the 72 miles of high-j ! way between where my wife and kids j , spend the summer (and nearly all lof my ready cash) and where I spend the week-days and week-nights at a hotel in my hometown on credit. ..Everybody seemed to be driving bumper-to-bumper. Cars were bunched in coveys of about 25 each. A model "T" was in front leading at a snail's pace. If It was not a model "T" that was blocking traffic, It was a courting couple 'that didn't care for anything or anybody in the world except themselves. 1 \ _____ ..Every time a fellow tried to pass the car in front of him, he was making a gesture toward his undertaker. If you had been in a hurry, you simply felt that you were in a hurry, and decided that the safe and sane thing was to poke al^ng at 20 m.p.h. (or slower) and like it. ..Our fast drivers do not make up our greatest highway menace; It's our Blow drivers, the traffic blockers . . who cause traffic congestions. Some of these slow drivers can't go any faster, op (account of necking and hugging, and all of the others apparently do it for pure, low-dowp meanttfcss. ..If you ever get behind one of these big, 45-foot public highway trains, commonly called trailer-trucks . . going up the mountain, you might as J well camp beneath the steering-wheel, and * meditate over this question: "How much longer will a pleasure car or a business automobile be allowed to travel on the highways at alir . .1 am not in favor of the average person driving over 60 to 65 m.p.h. That speed will get you where you're going quick enough. Much faster might get you where you didn't start Petore you know it. I am Just as much "agin" the driver that oozes along nonchantly at 16 to 20 as I am "agin" wind-buster who makes 80 to 90 regardless. . .Well either hare to" build a 4-channel highway system, or give the present system to big busaes and bigger trucks . . . (and the slow-pokes in any kind of vehicles) and build a. separate road for all kinds of cars that would like to go along in comfort at 48 to 65 m.p.h. Let's have a speed , limit at both ends, that is: Too slow 1 as well as too fast. yores trulle, tJ' mike Lark, rfd, corry spondent " ~ .

Enclosed you will find urtlcloB by Emily McCoy and Mark Muggins, of Kershaw county, who were entrants in this contest and whoso letters wen? selected us some' of tho best submitted. In addition to scoring those 4-11 members on their work, ono of the requirements was to write a brief narrative giving a resume of their work. The articles follow: Huggins Writes Poultry Story This is my first year as u 411 Poultry member. I started with 260 Burred j Hock chicks which I got on February 16. Before they came I had everything "ready for them as our County Home Demonstration Agent, Miss Fewell, told me to do. My brooder bouse is twelve feet by fourteen feet, facing south with glass ! cloth on south side and two ventlla-( tors under roof on north side. Wo could give them more air us necessary as we hud a burlap curtain to roll up und down on the front. 1 used a lurge size kerosene brooder. _ I put u wire screen around the brood-' er and about five feet from tho outside of tho canopy. TIiIh kept them! near the heat and also kept them from piling up in the corners. We used ten metal hoppers and two wooden ones about 34 feet of feeding space in all. We used fourteen onequart water fountains. Wo used pine straw for litter and changed it twice a week. We put In perch polos when chicks were eight weeks old. 1 turned them in a small run at first. After they were feathered good 1 turned them out to range on the young grass for about two hours each day. 1 k**i?t mash before the chicks all the time und gave them plenty of fresh clean wutor, washing the fountains out each day. My grade at school was Interested In my poultry work and my teacher "brought the class to see my chickens. The cost of my chicks, feed, fuel, and other expenses amounted to 171.96. The income from my chicks wus 194.25. This gave nto a profit of $22 29 on my chicks this llrst year. 1 am going to continue my poultry work and 1 believe 1 can do better next year. MARK HUQ01N8. R. F. U., Camden, S. C. My Club 8tory My 4-H club poultry work began In 1932-1934. The Shrine club of Camden udvanced me a loan to buy my baby chicks, and so I began to prepare for the baby chicks at once. I had a ten by twelve brooder house with a brick brooder built by plans furnished by the Winthrop poultry specialist. 1 also made the feed hop-1' pors. - . '*\A 1 used a formula, given to mo by my Home Demonstration Agent, Miss Fewell, and mixed my food. The contents of the formula wore hundred pounds yellow corn meal, fifty pounds wheat shorts, twenty-five pounds llsh meal und one pound salt. 1 gave my chicks plenty of butter milk and green feed. With the splendid help and cooperating of my parents, the county agent and tho poultry specialist, the chicks grew to broilers and fryers very rapidly. 1 sold most of them keeping only a few for breeding purposes. Euch year tho work has boon similar to the llrst year, eaCh time learning something yew. This year I have reinvested my money in moro chicks which are almost ready to sell. I have always tried to keep nay house clean and sanitary. I clean the house twice a week all through the brooding period. I have exhibited my chickens In the county fair each year winning a number of prizes. I have entered a pen in the 4-H egg laying contest. ~ I have been selected each year to represent my county in judging at the state fair. I have received a certificate each year in poultry. My poultry work has not only been a pleasure to me, but it has helped me financially. My profit has increased each year. This year I cleared $28.29. on my chicks alter deducting att'exponses.
