Camp Bradley News Camp Bradley, Feb. 6.—Now tliat all of us have actually been shown that there is still a sun in the sky we are taking a new interest in life and in the work which can now be done. The construction jobs have now been started again and the lookouts are on duty in the towers for the beginning of what we hope will be a very successful season in the matter of forest fires in our District. Several new men have been assigned to receive look out training in the various towers so that an adequate supply of ex perienced men will be available throughout the coming season. Among these men are Webb, Col lins, Strom and Thompson. Con trary to general belief, it is only an experienced man that can tell which smoke comes from a forest fire and which smoke comes from a brush pile or hedge growth. It is to gain experience along this line that these men are being as signed to the towers. Marvin Self, who has been a lookout at Troy Tower for some time, has returned to Mr. Frank Reece’s crew which is building bridges. Joe Price, who has done considerable lookout work on Key Bridge tower, left Tuesday morning for the hospital at Fort McPherson where he will undergo an operation on a troublesome knee. “Kid” Talbert spent several days at home during the past week and assured himself of more leave when he brought back with him a half dozen quail and several pounds of country sausage. It has been sug gested that he be required to go home at least twice a week in the future for as long as the quail and sausage last. A new camp surgeon has been as signed to this camp. Dr. E. B. Wood, a contract physician, has been placed in charge of medical work at Bradley camp and the Abbeville camp. The Camp Bradley basketball team lost to the Greenwood All Stars in a close decision on the Greenwood High School court Thursday night. The final score was All Stars 38, Camp Bradley 35.

Hendrix on January 22nd. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. C. A. Gil bert. The meeting was opened by singing Carolina. Mrs. C. A. Gil- I bert, president, presiding, asked j each member to give their favorite verse of the Bible; then prayer, by Mrs. Hendrix. Visitors welcomed and invited to join our club, by Mrs. Gilbert. 1 After the business meeting Miss Clemson, Feb. 6.—“Probably th< most useful equipment that car be installed in the farm home is a water system”, says C. V. Phagan agricultural engineer for the Clem son College Extension Service. “Sucfc equipment, even though simple and inexpensive, dees much to lessen the drudgery of the housekeepei and adds to the health and hap piness of all members of the farm family”, Mr. Phagan continues. Getting the waste water opt ol the house is considered by many farm women to be a bigger job than carrying the water from the well. For this reason the sink is one of the first pieces of equipment to be installed.” Mr. Phagan has drawn up some simple illustrations of the kitchen ; sink with drain, the kitchen pitcher | pump, the kitchen lift pump, and a barrel or small tank. He suggests that those farmers interested in simple water systems consult their county agents for specifications ' and information.
