Thursday, August 4, 1932 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER TWO COMFORT . • . despite the heat— I called on President Hoover the other day. Outdoors the thermom eter stood at 88 in the shade. In the President’s office it was a com fortable sixty-eight. That is one of the reasons why Mr. Hoover is able to stand up under his heavy task and still keep in first-rate physical condition. I went with the President to the opening of the exhibition of the Pantheon de la Guerre, the world’s largest painting, commemorating the war. This is shown in a cir- mobile industry. BEAUTY ... at Washington- Work on the enormous project of improving and beautifying that part of Washington which lies be tween the Capitol and the Wash ington Monument has so far pro gressed that it is now possible for ; the visitor to grasp the scope of the whole work. Between the two main avenues radiating from the Cap itol, Pennsylvania and Maryland Avenues, is a great triangle which covers nearly two square miles, with the Capitol as its apex and the broad park which extends from the White House to the Potomac River as its base. For more than a hundred years the Government has been develop ing this triangle into parks sur rounding public buildings. Now the huge Commerce Building, with more floor space than any other of fice building in the world, is com pleted, at the northwestern point of this triangle. The unsightly old private buildings fronting Pennsyl vania Avenue have mostly been torn down to make room for the new Department of Justice, Post Office Department and Interior De | the White House secret service corps, with a staff of men, preced- j ed him by half an hour and made a thorough search of the building to see that all workmen were ou. and that nobody but those on a list vouched for by the management was in the building while the Pres ident was there. Those precautions may sound unnecessary in a democracy, but Washington does not forget that three of its Presidents have died at the hands of assassins. I am per haps the only man living who was present at the assassination of two Presidents. As a small boy in | Washington I was in the old Balti more and Potomac railroad station when President Garfield was shot, and as a newspaper man in Buf falo I was at the Temple of Music of the Pan-American Exposition when Major McKinley was shot.

Reid 'O CLEMSON COLLEGE, July 30.— “Corn and other feed crops are be ing cut short, which means a short age of feeds, and this shortage means additional planning so that the livestock may be taken care of to the best advantage,” suggests Prof. L. V. Starkey, Chief of animal husbandry. “If there is a short age of corn, oats may be substituted to the extent of 30 per cent of the swine ration. Whole cats may be used as the sole concentrate for horses and mules. The cheap oats which are now on hand may be used in this way and the corn sav ed for the hogs. Small grains, such as barley, wheat and rye may be ground and substituted for corn in the rations of beef cattle, hogs, and mules. “With a shortage of corn it be comes even more necessary,” Mr. Starkey continues, “to have a good winter forage crop such as rye or barley to graze during the winter and early spring. This will save about one-third of the corn neces sary for fattening hogs and will re duce both concentrates and roughages needed for other class es of livestock. “If one has more hogs than he is able to feed out he may sell some pigs or cull his herd of sows close ly, feed these culls intensively for about 30 days and send them to market.” ±Xt S.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR JOIN J05EPHGAINES, M.D, THE DAY OF REST I feel sure our editor will pardon me, if I seem at times a little old- fashioned; there are so many flimsy, new theories now—and so muchi untried stuff advanced, that it is refreshing to go back to the old trundle-bed for a bit of old-fashioned comfort once in awhile. Isn’t the family doctor a sort of guardian in his community? I think so—a trusted mentor and friend. He, above all others must conclude God’s laws are always right. So, there’s a seventh day for rest. It has been so for centuries. That assumes that we work six days. He set the example for us, in this matter of first importance. Well, how many cf us observe the law—or follow the Divine example? How many of us pay the penalty which is sure, after many, flagrant violations? I am afraid that the church, ambitious to succeed in a holy cause, approaches very closo to transgression when it fills the Sabbath with exactnig ceremonies. Sunday is the day of all days when I keep my eye cn the clock, to see that I shall not be late at any of my denomina tion’s ordinances. I have somehow acquired the feeling that, if I am late, or neglectful of formal statutes on Sunday, I am not living up to my duty as a God-fearing man—a would-be setter of good example in my community. So Sunday has become almost a day of. exacting re quirement, with but little REST. I wonder if God wants it that way? Of course, BUSINESS desecrates, gallops over, takes no notice of the Sabbath, It’s the day when soft drink trade is best, and when grease and gasoline are most in demand. Even drug stores remain open on account of emergency (?) prescriptions! Would God have it so—I wonder? SOMETHING SIMPLE I wish to ask that no more Plans for solving the economic situa tion be sent to me. My quota is completed; my files are full. My mental decision to retire from Plan Reading was reached some time ago. An earnest gentleman with a gleam in his eye got hr anyhow the other day: He asked me to read a book in which, a new prophet sets forth a new religion. The gentleman assured me that if only all men and women could be led to think the thoughts of this prophet every dif ficulty would fold up. While we talked I turned the pages of the‘book, and after about a minute I assured him that I should not need to read it in order to know that it would have no influence. He was aggrieved. “You have a closed mind,” he charged. “Not at all,” I said. “I happen to know what. kind, of words move the world. I’ll give you an example: “ ‘ The Lord is my shepherd,’ etc. “ ‘ Four score and seven years ago our fathers founded; on. this con tinent,’ etc. “Contrast these simple words with a coupla at phrases^ from your book,” I said: “ ‘ The definitely “anticipatory” value of the self-protecting mech anism of covenant obligations . . . ’ “ ‘ Expanding consciousness obtainable through the direct applica tion of the method of cyclic evolution . . . ’ “Nobody is going to overturn the world,” I concluded, “unless he is able to make his ideas understandable even to h little child. Sec ond-raters are always obscure. But the head; mam ih any depart ment of life, I care not whether it be medicine, theology, science or what, he can make a talk that will fascinate a kindergarten.” John Bunyan explained to his readers that he might have adopted a “stile” much more fancy but he wanted his book to be read by com mon people everywhere. He has his wish: “Pilgrimfs Progress” will live as long as anything in our language. Lincoln’s style grew steadily clearer and simpler as he grew in years and wisdom. “What harm can a book do that costs a hundred crowns?” Voltaire exclaimed. “Twenty volumes folio will never make a revolution^ it is the little pocket pamphlets that are to be feared.” I do not know what Plan will lead us to new heights of prosperity or whether, indeed, there will be any one Plan.. Butt if; there be^ it will consist of things that everybody can understand, such, as “the less you hamper trade the more, trade can expand.” Olympic Games Gay With Color Flags of all nations, whose" teams are competing in the Olympics at Los Angeles, flutter from the flagstalls as the games get under way.
