Golden Text: John 4:14. The record of Jesus’ conversation with an unknown Samaritan wo man at Jacob’s well is most appeal ing. A woman of the place came to the spring to draw water, and Jesus requested of her a drink. It is all very natural and human. But something happened to give a divine and eternal significance to what might have been a mere ly casual meeting. Unforgettable words were uttered sure to last as long as time. Think of the significance of the Savior’s contact with this unfortu nate woman. Jesus treated her with unfailing tenderness and sympathy, for he had no sex prejudice of any kind. Although he lived in a time when women were not held in high esteem, he always manifested to ward them an impressive courtesy. Turn now to the words spoken by the Master to his new friend. What lesson was he seeking to teach her? First of all, he told her that the divine, life-giving presence is akin to cool, refreshing water. “As the water of this old spring,” lie insisted, “brings refreshment to those who drink, so much more does the living water of God’s Spirit bring peace to distracted lives.” But there is a second lesson. Jesus was eager to make clear the permanency of the divine favor. Earthly water is temporary in its effects. Soon does man thirst again. And water is restricted in its re storative, healing power. There is one way only on- which we may find life that persists. We must drink of the perennial water flow ing straight from the heart of God. This is the living water that never fails, that keeps the heart of man secure against every foe, that rein forces one’s inner energies, protect ing them from decay. Finally, our Lord taught a doc trine of God as Spirit (vs. 24) which remains one of the supreme declarations of the Bible. x January Farming Hints ' Clemson, Jan. 2. — For greater success in farming in 1937 exten sion specialists make these im portant suggestions for January. Agronomy Be sure your cotton planting seed for 1937 was bred to produce staple at least one inch in length. If sufficient grain was not plant ed during fall to meet farm needs, plant this month, weather permit ting. Clean up hedge rows and wood patches between fields. Horticulture Prepare hotbeds and coldframes for cabbage, tomato, pepper, etc. Plant English peas, if soil is in condition. Prepare land for Irish potatoes, and order certified seed. Prune fruit trees and vines pre paratory to spraying with lime sul fur or oil Bordeaux. Plant fruit trees at once, if soil is in condition. Terrace all new orchard land before planting. Agricultural Engineering ' Plan to lower production costs in 1937 by more efficient use of labor, power, and machinery. Arrange sheds and farm shop for better care of equipment. Make more efficient use of land and machinery by rearranging fields, removing stumps, construct- ihg terraces, etc. If possible include more fencing in the 1937 program. Insects and Diseases Plan to treat cotton seed before planting. Continue cleaning orchards to destroy fallen fruit and limbs to On Friday of the past week, the ^ood people in Bradley were sur prised by the arrival of a large •"imber of green automobiles and visiting Forest Officers. The arrival of these visiting Foresters marked the beginning of the second annual Fire Training School on the Long Cane Ranger District. This Train ing School is an annual event and is conducted each year by the Dis trict Forest Ranger of the Long Care Area for the purpose of im proving fire control technic and in creasing the general knowledge o' all fire fighting forces with regard to the elimination and quick sup pression of forest fires on National Forest land. This meeting was con ducted at Bradley, at the CCC camp, and was attended by approx imately 200 people. Forest Supervisor H. M. Sears opened the meeting on the morning of January 8, after which classes were conducted by the Supervisory personnel on the Long Cane Dis trict in those phases of field work which are of vital importance to fire fighting forces. The first after noon of the* 1 Training School was given over to practical demonstra tions of the use of fire tools and action on fire lines. Lectures were given, by Assistant Supervisor Mc Kinley, of the Sumter Forest; Doc tor R. M. Nelson, of the Appalach ian Experiment Station; and Su perintendent Allen, of the Bradley Camp. The evening program included a talk by F- '^er David on Fire Pre vention Work, after which Forest Service motion pictures were shown. On the following morning, the Fire Training School was continu ed. Assistant Supervisor McKinley discussed The Relationship Be tween Public Relations and Fire Control. Many of the outstanding citizens of McCormick and Green wood Counties were present and were included in the program. Mr. Wade Harrison commented upon The Need For Impressing Individ uals With The Necessity For Fire Prevention, saying that unless each individual citizen could be shown that is was to his advantage to prevent forest fires there was nothing that could be done in the way of securing public cooperation in eliminating these fires. Mr. J. M. Cox, of Troy, spoke very interestingly of The Effect Fire Has on the Lumber Industry. He stated that forest fires increased the cost of lumbering and lowered the quality of the timber which was cut in the woods. Senator Gary ^orr of McCormick, commented on The Conditions That Existed in the Long Cane Area Many Decades Ago and compared these conditions with the present status of wildlife and forests. Senator Dorn said that deer were once killed in the area where the town of McCormick now stands, that quail were once very numerous, and that where former ly large trees grew in the forest nothing now remains but cutover land or poorly-grown, scrubby stock. The Senator expressed the belief that the coming of the For est Service would bring back these desirable conditions and stated that fires had to be kept out if f he Forest Service was to succeed in its work. An interesting talk was made by Superintendent Wad D. Allen, dis cussing The Relationship of the Forest Service With The Colored Families on The Long Cane Dis trict. Mr. Allen stated that there were approximately 2,500 colored families living inside the Long Cene boundary and that these colored families constituted an economic and social problem, as well as one in forest fire control. Supervisor Sears, referring to Mr. Allen’s talk, added that the Forest Service was keenly interested in doing everything possible to im prove the living conditions, not only of the colored families, but tIso of the white families, who are living on the tracts of land which have been acquired by the United States Forest Service. An interest ing fact is that the United States Forest Service has 385 tracts of land now in the Long Cane Ranger District; it has been estimated that an average of one family lives on each of these tracts. All of these families vill rent land from the United states and will remain on National Forest land, under the supervision of the Forest Ranger’s office in Greenwood. Every opportunity for using the services of these people who are farming National Forest land in connection with fire con trol work is offered to the local Forest Officers. A very interesting talk upon The Value of the Work Done By the United States Forest Service was made by Doctor Gettys, Superin tendent of the De la Howe School. Doctor Gettys was very interested ir the conservation work and stat ed that no progress at all could be made in the program advanced by the Forest Service unless forest fires were completely eliminated from the woods. Junior Forester Harry W. Wagner, of Columbia, conducted a discussion of Job Analysis- and Personnel Training. Mr. Wagner was in a position to make several valuable suggestions regarding the planning of jobs and the handling of men, owing to the fact that he has been in recent attendance at a training school conducted in Atlanta, Georgia. A very important point which was brought out during the two- day school was the fact that there is a true relationship between the amount of timber and saw logs produced and the quantity of work available for local people. Since the aim of the Forest Service is to grow trees on land suited to this purpose, it follows that with an increase in the amount of saw timber grown there will be a cor responding increase in the number of jobs produced. Mr. Wade Harrison brought out very aptly the duty and obligation of each and every employee of the United States with regard to his dealings with the public. “For esters,” said Mr. Harrison, “should bear in mind that in growing trees and in producing timber crops they are working for the people of the community as a whole; as servants of a public trust they have a real responsibility in con nection with producing for the largest number of people the great est amount of good. Those of us who are citizens and residing in the Long Cane Area should feel that this National Forest is in every sense our Forest and that we are also charged with the proper care of these trees. All of us, as citizens, should cooperate and work with the United States Forest Ser vice in every way possible to pre vent the occurrence of forest fires.” Wm. P. David, Forest Ranger. FINAL SETTLEMENT Modern Automobile Motors Demand A Modern Gasoline In announcing the new Gulf No- Nox Ethyl Gasoline, Mr. H. C. Mey er, Genei'al Sales Manager, says: “Gulf is keeping pace with the trend in automotive engineering in that we are giving motorists a modem fuel for modern motors. Ordinary gasolines v/ill no longer do.” Mr. Meyer calls attention to the fact that during the past ten years the automobile has gone through a revolutionary period. Box-shaped bodies have been transformed into graceful streamlined contours, new designs in spring suspension add to the comfort of driver and passen gers, and wheezing motors have given way to high compression units which rival the powerful en gines that are used in America’s finest planes. The modern automobile motor has not been increased in weight over the engine of ten years ago, but higher compression ratios have STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick.
