An unusually fine program had been arranged with the coopera tion of Miss Matilda Bell, McCor mick County’s demonstration agent. A special feature was an address by Mrs. R. P.

Number 49 Camp Bradley News Camp Bradley, April 23.—For the first time in almost a year the Forest Service quarters are holding a “full house”. Mr. Nixon and Mr. Remsen moved to Camp F-7 from Modoc last week end and moved into the only vacant rooms that were left. Junior Forester' John Bennett, who is stationed in Columbia, spent the past week on the Long Cane making a visibility survey. Mr. Bennett checked up on the present tower sites and looked over several proposed sites for new towers. He attended the motion picture shown by Joe Price in Mt. Carmel Thursday night. Mr. Lawrence Hester, of Mt. Carmel, paid the camp a brief visit Wednesday night. We en joyed his visit very much and it is hoped that he will come again soon. Superintendent Bodie, from Camp F-ll, visited in camp Wed nesday night. Joe Yassney’s friends have known for quite a while that he was an excellent steel sharpener, a good cook, and a fair carpenter, but they didn’t know he was an expert track man until last Mon day night. Joe established a new record by out running a 193* model Chevrolet sedan from. Greenwood to Bradley. • Although the distance covered by Yassney in this race was only 10 miles, the Forest Service personnel think that with a little training he can qualify for the 26-mile marathon race. Six men from Bradley Camp left on Monday for Oregon and some of the other western states. These men were Lorrell Boat wright, Fuzzy Elton, Charles Ed wards, Carlton Blizzard, Albert Howie, and Lonnie Babb. -xx- $2,300 a year. Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice.

Clemson, April 23.—An all-day farm machinery demonstration will be held on the Clemson Col lege Farm Wednesday, May 4, when the latest designs of both tractor and horse-drawn equip ment will be demonstrated by farm machinery manufacturers. Plans and Arrangements for the demonstration are being made by the Agricultural Engineering Divi sion of the Extension Service, the Agricultural Engineering Depart ment of the School of Agriculture, and the Farms Department of the Experiment Station. All of the machinery used will be the kind that is suited for South Carolina farms, college ficials say. The types of ma chinery to be used in the demon stration will be equipment farmers can utilize for seedbed prepara tion, planting, cultivation, and harvesting. Terracing machinery will also be shown and demon strated. Camp Modoc News Camp Modoc, April 23.—Only two fires to report for this week and one false alarm. People are doing less burning, consequently we are able to devote more time to our road projects. Mr. Bennett, from the Super visor’s office, has been with us several days this week working on fire finding and fire fighting im provements. Camp F-ll did not fare so wen at the baby Olympiad at Anderson as we were first in very few events but we are getting all primed for revenge. Our baseball club has been tried and it is probable that they have the new suits broken in now and will be able to get down to the class of ball they are capable of playing. A good time was reported by all, even though they did not carry off the laurels. Road construction is moving along and intensified effort is being put forth on ditch line erosion control work. This con sists of building check dams in the ditches which slows down the speed of the water and thus de-- creases erosion. Also more inter— cepting and side drainage ditches are being put in. Assistant Technicians Nixon and Remsen have been transferred from this camp to the Bradley- Camp. They are mighty pleasant and efficient men and we miss, them. -xx- * All Dogs In Town Must Be Vaccinated Against Rabies An ordinance of the town re quires that all dogs within the Town of McCormick shall be vac cinated against rabies. This ordinance will be strickly enforced. Dr. Barnette of Greenwood will be in McCormick on April 30th for the purpose of vaccinating ddgs, and I urge all dog owners in town to have their dogs vaccinated at that time. T. J. SIBERT, Mayor:.
