Friday, October 11, 1940 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 ^fceCk or next year.

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."

It is planned to haw the team system of solicitation again this year.

The plans of the national emergency program were outlined h> the) scout executive, which consist of the following: An Inventory and roll call, additonal enrollment of new and dropped scouts. Organization of an ??iergency service corps, training courses for volunteer leaders and camping. Pursuant to an order from national hoadcftiarters of the Boy Scouts ft was decided to have a scout mobilization call here issued by Mayor F. N.

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. 9 WEEK-END SPECIALS! | TENDER CHUCK Rib Steaks, lb. 20c TRY OUR PURE Pork Sausage, lb. 20c I SANITARY PACK | Medium Oysters, qt. - - 55c | MEDIUM j | Croaker Fish, 4 lbs. for . - 25c i ! i SHEALY'S MARKET i? iw store | III IIBMII IBM???

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.
