ARE YOU A PACK RAT?
When It comes to accumulations of
useless odds-and-ends which arc found
in profusion In many homes, hero's an
excellent motto: "Burn tho junk
up before li burns you up!"
A Rood many of us have characteristics
of the pack vat. We hate to
throw anything away. Old clothes,
old magazines, old furnliure, oven old
newspa pent -all go into informal storage
in attic or basement or closet.
They may slay (hero for years, collecting
dnst and mold, with nothing
dangerous happening. Again, they
may rior tire, which f?-?-ds on such ttc*
t umulations. may find litem And
i hen all your possesions, no less Hum
the junk, may go up in smoke.
Once or twice a year it would he an
excellent Idea to make a little tour
of your homo to ferret out such hazards
Charities will be glad to have
old clothes, furniture and reading matter
Anything that Is useless can go
to the junkman or bo destroyed In the
incinerator. Bo especially alert in going
through workshop and garage?it
is a common habit to leave cans of
paint, varnish and other lntlammabjiC
liquids open Cleaning rags should
always be k?-pt In closed metal containers
Spillage of gasoline or oil
should be at once mopix-d up.
Perhaps your borne is free of such
dangers If It Is. it is very much the
exception. The chances are that hazards
exist of which you know nothing
-hazards that can be easily eliminated
once discovered. Ixx>k for them
now Don't put it off until tomorrow
for tomorrow could be too late Fire
'can strike tonight as easily as next

1939 chri8tma8 seal sale
dollars buy protection
A summary of the accomplishment*
of the Kershaw County Tuberculosis
Association during the twelve months
beginning September first, 1939'uutl
nosing AujCtlffJ. thlrty-^lrnt, 1940 shows
-what the flftoon hundred dollar* raised
In last year's Chrifttma* Seal Sule
has helped to purchase In the wuy of
protection for the homos of Kershaw
County people.
Under the health education pro
gram, 4.4ti3 persons hoard talks on tuberculosis
control and fund raising
for that purpose. Motion pictures
wore shown at twenty-three points In
tihe county with an approximate attendance
of 3,42f>, Six hundred sevuumIx
pieces of literature were distributed
and four hundred posters wore
placed on display for educational purposes
as well as for advertising. Hesides
this, fifty-eight newspapor
etorfes were published.
One1 thousand and twenty-four tuberculin
tests were Klven, two hundred
and alxiy-olght having a positive
reaction to the -test.
Four hundred sixty-eight fluroscopIc
and X-ray examinations were made
at thirty-three ohest clinics. As a result
of this effort at case hading.
| thirty-eight cases of pulmonary tuberculosis
were found. Five of these
were thought to be Inactive at the
present time. Fifty-six cases of tlrst
infection-' tuberculosis were found I
among children under fifteen years of
age. Twenty-six persons woro found
to have u condition suspicious of pulmonary
tuberculosis and were placed
under observation until a definite diagnosis
Lh made.
Thirty-eight sputum examinations
were made. It was found that fifteen
of those getting this service had iroaitive
sputum.
Eighteen patients wore admitted to
the sanatorium at State Park. Several
of these have made considerable
progress toward getting well.
Almost three thousand visits were
. made by the tuberculosis .nurse in the
Interest of patients and their families.
Many of these visits were made In the
patient's homes. Others were made
to the nurse at the office.
To every one who helped make
those things possible, the Tuberculosis
Association expresses appreciation.
Franklin 1) Roosevelt, Jr.. defending
the appointment of his brother,
i Elliott, to si captain's commission in
'the army silr corps, said: "Elliott
1 has been taking a lot of criticism
'which Is unjustified. He en Haled in
j the aviation corps and was placed
where It was thought he would be of
the most service, lie could have "been
'a private just as well as a captain,
'incidentally, Elliott's commission Is a
restricted one. It calls for office
| work, not for active flying."

WHY DO WE NEGLECT THE SPUD?
W'hy have Southern farmers never
"gone in" for the Irish potato? Are
new varieties adapted to Southern
conditions needed? Or have we, without
a sufficiently good reason, neglected
this valuable food crop? The Irish
l>otato Is easily grown, It keeps, it
may be cooked In a variety of easy
ways. It is sustaining' and, to those
who have learned to like it, or who
liked it from the flrfct bite, it Is tasty *
In nearly every form. (An exception
noted by The State is when the Irish
l>otato Is "creamed" wltih water, as It
sometimes is by cooks who have not
enough respect for it, or who do not
know what to do with it, or who are
too economical, or something).
In a survey of farming in Richland
county, made recently as a part of the
Hotter Farm Living program, it was
found that of 594 farm owners, 383
grow no Irish potatoes; and that of
536 renters, 432 have no "spuds" of
their own.
Sweet potatoes are much more commonly
grown in this locality, but you'd
be surprised to know how many farmers
have none of them. The figures:
220 of 594 farm owners grow none;
and 159 of 536 renters have none unless
they buy them, or call on generous
neighbors.
But the two?sweet potato and Irish
potato?are not in direct conflict as
foods. Both are needed, and both are
easily grown.?Columbia State.
The Skipper Chats
With Bill Goll
(Continued from first page)
to some person who is floundering
about in the water and threatened
with drowning. Bill says one should
use their brain as to the boat means
of effecting a rescue.
"It is not necessary to dive into the !
water in every, instance" said Bill. '
"Perhaps tho rescue can bo made by
extending an oar, paddle or pole to 1
the struggling person. Or it may be
that a rope can be used. Or again, if '
one is in a boat, he can row near i
enough to the person hi the water to
grab hold of Ills collar and drag nim
to safety.
"Many rescues result in double I
tragedies because a drowning person '
will clutch the neck or arm of a res- '
cuer with frenzied strength. So it is ;
absolutely necessary when one Is ]
swimming to the aid of a drowning ]
person to approach that person from i
the rear side or below the water's surface.
<
"Never swim alone. Lives can be ]
lost In the water and it Is also true :
that lives can be saved by competent
help. l^earn swimming correctly. '
This can bo accomplished through local
instructors. Red Cross swimming
experts. Y. M. C. A., and Boy Scout
instructors. Swimming is a useful,
healthful and interesting art whioh
some day may prove of help in cases
of emergency."
Bill Goll knows his stuff in the water.
He puts no a stratlt Jacket and
then rolls Into a tank with alligators
and while struggling in the midst of
these denizens of tropical waters manages
to free himself from tho jacket.

Why Orchard Soils
Require More Lime
Clemaon, Oct, B?'^pat South Carolina
commercial jre&qj}, growers have
used considerable limestone or basic
slag during the past Ave or six years,
yet many of the orchard soils of the
state probably are still two strongly
acid", says E. H. Rawl, extension horticultrtst.
Mr. itawl points out three reasons
why soils become acid: (1) The fact
that basic materials such as calcium
and magnesium, which limestone contains,
constantly leach from tho soils;
(2) the use of acid fertilizer materials
In recent years; (3) the use of
necessary sulfur sprays and dusts for
controlling insects and diseases.
Nine advantages of correcting soil
acidity with lime or basic slag as given
by Mr. Rawl are:
Fruit tree and tree roots grow more
satisfactorily. Cover crops make more
satisfactory growth. Inoculating bacteria
for cover crops are more effective.
Nitrogen fertilizer materials
(which are acid) are more effective,
"oil bacteria are more active, making
rotting or decomposition of cover
crops, weeds, and grasses more rapid.
Calcium and magnesium are supplied
for proper plant growth, Phosphoric
acid in the soil is conserved and more
is retained in available form. Potash 1
in strongly acid soils leaches less.
Iron, manganese, and aluminum are
kept from becoming toxic to plant
growth.
In bearnig orchards if no limestone
or basic slag has been used in recent
years, it would be -safe to apply about
1500 pounds of dolomltlc limestone or
1000 pounds of basic slag per acre
broadcast, Mr. Rawl advises. It Is
t
best to apply these materials in the
fall or spring Just before the orchard
is disked.
Winter Activities
Will Begin Early
(Continued from page one)
The sensational success of the 193940
i>olo season bids fair to be repeated
if not excelled the coming season.
While a majority <jf the polo events
will take place on the No. 1 field, it
is planned to play several games'at
the new field near tihe Seaboard station
at the western limits of the city.
Weather permitting on "February
22nd there will .be a program of
steeplechase races at the Springdale
race course, scene of the famous Carolina
Cup race in the spring. The
horse program calls for the horse
shows to be offered by the Virginians
and the Camden Hunt, the Hunter '
Trials, hunts, while other sport programs
will include golf, skeet, hunting
and horse back riding.
Much work has been done on The
Kirk wood golf course and exacting
golfers halve pronounced it to be one
>f the best in the mid-south. The rebuilding
of the course and the installation
of grass greens a year ago (lie
past summer has served to make the
layout the equal of the very-best in
the country.
1*010 fans will be glad to know that
Carl Lightfoot, one of the Camden
polo aces, who suffered a broken neck
several weeks ago and who is a patient
at the Camden hospital, will be
able to play about December 15.
Light foot, whose fine riding and play
made him a great favorite with the
fans will have to wear a cast for some
time after he is released from the hospital.
