Members of the Sandy Branch
H. D. Club desire to take this meth
od of commemorating the life of
their former president, Mrs. W. T
Walker, who passed to her reward
Jan. 19, 1936.
As a club we feel deeply the loss
of our beloved friend and leader.
Her unselfish spirit in serving her
community in this capacity made
a lasting imprint on our lives. For
her services we are sincerely grate
ful.
As a neighbor she was always
kind, gentle and generous with he
time, talents, and substance. She
has been greatly missed in thi
community.
V/e remember her as a devoir:
Christian in our church. She wa
truly a leader and was always
“Abounding in the work of the
Lord.” Her life shall be a benedic
tion to each of us.
We hallow the memory of Mrs
Walker as a devoted mother. Maj
her sacrificial life of devotion and
ambition for her children be ar.
inspiration for each of us. We ar
grateful to God for the life of our
departed friend.
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.
Griffin of the All Stars led the
winners with 13 points. Hardegree,
of Bradley, was high scorer for the
game with a total of 20 paints.

Chestnut Ridge H. D.
Club Meets
The regular meeting of the
Chestnut Ridge Home Demonstra
tion Club was held at the home of
Mrs. A. J. Hendrix on January 22nd.
The meeting was called to order
by the president, Mrs. C. A. Gil
bert. The meeting was opened by

I bert, president, presiding, asked
j each member to give their favorite
verse of the Bible; then prayer,

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.
