Four McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK. SOUTH CAROLINA il A. R. P. Church Recently Named w Pressly Memorial The local Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church has been named the Pressly Memorial Church in honor of the late Rev Leon T. Pressly, who was pastor here for a number of years. Rev. Mr. Pressly died last summer and Mrs. Pressly is now making her home with her daughter, Mrs. T. Gh Castles, at Great Falls. At a recent meeting of the Woman’s Missionary Society of this church there was a resolution pass ed asking that the name of this church be made the Pressly Me morial in honor of this beloved pastor for it was due to his untiring efforts that the work has pro gressed. The officers of the church unanimously adopted this name and this church now stands as a memorial to one of the finest citi- sens that has ever lived in McCor- Poppy Day Is May 26 CALL UPON CITIZENS TO HONOR WORLD WAR DEAD BY WEAR ING MEMORIAL POPPIES Buying Drugs Blindfolded A Great Folly ' ! I i Doctors throughout the world agree there is no greater folly than to buy and take unknown drugs. Ask your own doctor. So—when you go into a store for real Bayer Aspirin, see that you get it. Remember that doctors en dorse Genuine Bayer Aspirin as SAFE relief for headache, colds, sore throat, pains of rheumatism and neuritis, etc. Just remember this. Demand and get Genuine Bayer Aspirin. Genuine Bayer Aspirin does not harm * the heart i Mi a A, McCormick will be called upon to honor the World War dead and give aid to the war’s living victims by wearing Memorial Poppies on May 26th. This day, the Saturday before Memorial Day, will be ‘‘Poppy Day” throughout the Unit ed States and will be generally ob served by the wearing of the little red flower of Flanders Fields. Observance of “Poppy Day” here will be directed by the American Legion Auxiliary, Mrs. C. K. Epting, president of the local Auxiliary Unit, has announced. Women of the Auxiliary will distribute poppies on the street and receive contribu tions for the Auxiliary’s welfare and relief work among the disabled veterans and their families. Organization of a corps of volun teer workers to distribute the me morial flowers throughout the city is going forward rapidly under the leadership of Mrs. C. R. Strom, chairman of the Auxiliary’s Poppy committee. A large supply of pop pies have been ordered from the Veterans Hospital in Columbia, where disabled veterans have been given employment during the win ter and spring, making the little paper flowers. “The purpose of ‘Poppy Day’ is to give everyone an opportunity to pay individual tribute to the men who gave their lives in.defense of the nation,” said Mrs. C. K. Epting. “The little act of wearing a poppy touches the individual more closely than large public ceremonies in which he is only a spectator, and awakens a realization of the indi vidual responsibility to the nation, so greatly needed at this time. Poppy Day’ also gives everyone an opportunity to share in the vast work which the American Legion and Auxiliary are doing for the dis abled men, their families and the families of the dead.” t.

Unique Courses To Be Offered CLEMSON SUMMER SCHOOL TO ATTRACT MANY STUDENTS Clemson College, May 14.—With “Distinctively Clemson” as one ol its guiding phrases the new admin istration of the Clemson Summer School is planning to offer to South Carolina this summer in its ses sion from June 11 to July 20 some courses that are new and unique, at least as far as this state is con cerned. The everyday use of elec tricity in the home, elementary knowledge of textiles and their manufacture, the arts of woodwork and drawing, facts about milk and milk products, a general course in bacteriology, botany and ornitho logy for the nature lovers or stu dents—such information the Clem son Summer School is seeking to pass on to the general public through its public school teachers and other students this summer. This work is, of course, in addition to regular teachers’ courses, college courses, typewriting and duplicat ing, and public school music. The intricacies of the great giant electricity as expounded to the prospective professional electrical engineer are to be simplified for the layman in a course in house hold electricity, taking up such practical problems as reading the meter to determine the expense of operating various appliances, how this can be done in the home, mak ing minor repairs, and using elec tricity safely. From the School of Textiles will come a course in cotton textiles and their manufacture, another course for the layman planned especially for teachers or social workers in textile centers to acquaint them with the work and the textile vo cabulary of the people in the com munities in which they work. Particularly for the teachers of elementary grades and also for others who might wish to cultivate latent talent, a member of the faculty of the Department of Architecture will teach a course in free-hand drawing, as well as some cultural courses concerning art and architecture. Faculty members from the School of Agriculture will give a course on milk and its products, a course in bacteriology treating of harmful and helpful bacteria, a course in botany, one in fertilizers, and an other on birds. In the regular college woodshops students will be offered training in the craft of woodwork. This course has in the past attracted, in addi tion to manual training teachers, many teachers of elementary grades who prepare teaching ma terials in the shop and others who wished the training for purely personal use. Typewriting and duplicating, and public school music are special ser vice courses provided by experi enced persons not on the regular teaching staff of the college. All these courses the administra tion feels are in fields that in this state Clemson is distinctly equipped to give, and it is the hope of the authorities that every summei school student may have a combi nation of courses including one or more of these courses. Persistence Will Pay j In the Garden in May Clemson College, May 12.—In late spring three essentials of success ful vegetable gardening demand consideration — successive plant ings, thorough cultivation, and pro tection against insects and dis eases. Without these no garden is a real and continuous success, say A. E. Schilletter, extension horticul turist, and Mrs. Dora Dee Walker, production specialist. For continuous crops, they em phasize that it is necessary to make successive plantings of beans, com, limas, and other summer crops, and plantings of tomatoes, celery, cab bage, and collards for fall and win- te:\ To encourage all growing crops, to keep down weeds, and to conserve soil moisture they urge fr. quent shallow cultivation. Not the least important part of good gardening is protection from pests, towards which four sugges tions are most timely now: 1. For Mexican bean beetles spray with five level teaspoonfuls of magnesium arsenate in one gal lon of water, or dust with one part of magnesium arsenate and three parts of hydrated lime. Apply to under side of leaves. 2. For potato beetles spray with nine level teaspoonfuls of lead ar- Goodyear G-3 Whips Tread Wear Problem SPEEDIER CARS, QUICKER STOPS, MAKE NEW DE MANDS ON TIRE EQUIP MENT “The modern automobile is re sponsible for the greatest tire our company has ever made,” declared J. T. Faulkner, local dealer for The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. “Present day cars with their greater speed, faster getaway and more powerful brakes for quick stops have produced a problem in tire wear which has been solved by Goodyear engineers in the newly introduced G-3 tire,” he asserted. “With the advent of smaller wheel diameters, high speed motors and powerful four-wheel brakes, tread wear became more of a prob lem—a problem immediately tack led by the company’s engineers and research men. At once they start ed work on a new tire that would defeat these conditions and our new G-3 is the answer. “Many designs and compounds were created only to be thrown away, but finally one bearing the factory number ‘G-3’ wa$ found to stand up under the gruelling tests. One of the tests consisted of run ning the tire against sharp granite grit and resistance of the G-3 to this abrasion was found to be far greater than designs previously tested. “Test cars then tried the G-3 for months—speeding up to 60 miles per hour, jamming on the brakes; speeding up to 60, jamming on the brakes. Cars and brakes wore out —but the G-3 stood up and kept on standing up! “The new tire, with its flatter tread, longer non-skid design wear, slower ‘heel and toe’ wear and greater safety with more non-skid blocks on the tread, has met and whipped the problem presented by the modern car,” Mr. Faulkner con cluded. x SAVANNAH MARINE CORPS OFFICE AUTHORIZED TO FILL VACANCIES Savannah, Ga., May 14.—The Savannah Marine Corps office has been authorized to fill vacancies that will occur throughout the U. S. Marine Corps during the next sev eral months, according to an an nouncement by Lieut. Col. A. B. Drum, Officer in Charge, Marine Office, Post Office Building, Savan nah, Ga.

At World’s Fair Under the terms of an agreement signed Tuesday by the Ford Motor Company and the Detroit Sym phony Society, the Detroit Sym phony Orchestra will appear in A Century of Progress Exposition, Chicago, for twelve consecutive weeks, beginning June 16, giving two concerts a day in conjunction with the Ford Motor Company’s exhibit. Announcement of the agreement was made by Murray G. Paterson,, secretary of the Detroit Symphony Society who signed for the Society. B. J. Craig signed for the Ford Mo tor Company. The orchestra, as it will go to. Chicago, will be composed of 70 musicians, with Victor Kolar as conductor. The concert will be giv en in an especially constructed! shell in Ford Gardens, on the shore- of Lake Michigan, adjacent to the colossal Ford Exposition buildings and will be broadcast by several national radio networks. The contract gives the Ford Mo tor Company the right to extend the concert beyond the 12-week period, which ends September T. After the contract had been sign<- ed Edsel B. Ford said: "There are several reasons why: the engagement of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra to play at A Century of Progress Exposition in conjunction with the exhibit ot the Ford Motor Company is particular ly gratifying to me. “First, it will give the visitors to the Ford Exposition building and Gardens, as well as the millions who will be listening over the radio, an opportunity to hear the splendid music for which the orchestra is noted. “Then, too, so unusual an en gagement for so long a time is a gesture of friendliness and support which the orchestra very roundly deserves. “And there’s another reason. There are some who feel that in dustry and culture have nothing akin—in fact, that one is the an tithesis of the other. It is especial ly pleasing to me, therefore, to make possible this opportunity for the whole country to have a great cultural treat for all summer long.” Oss,ip Gabrilowitsch, director of the orchestra, informed of the sign ing of the contract, said: “The employment of our whole orchestra for this 12-week season is a fine civic gesture, not only toward our orchestra, but also toward all that Detroit represents musically and culturally. I wish to thank Mr. Ford and the Ford Motor Com pany for making this splendid en gagement possible.” Mr. Kolar, associate director of the orchestra, who will direct the Exposition concerts, has had a wealth of experience in summer concert work. During the summers of 1919, 1920 and 1921 he conduct ed the concerts of the' Philadelphia Orchestra in Fairmount Park, Phil adelphia, and later, conducted seven full seasons at the shell on Belle Isle, Detroit.
