meeting in Bethany Baptist
church near here on Saturday.
An unusually fine program had
been arranged with the coopera
tion of Miss Matilda Bell, McCor

address by Mrs. R. P. Richardson
of Augusta on “Chinese Gardens”.
This most interesting address was
illustrated with pictures made in
China.
Following the registration the
meeting was called to order by
Mrs. McAllister. Following the
singing of “The Church in the
Wildwood” prayer was offered by
the Rev. A. Thad. Persons, pastor
of Bethany church. The address
of welcome was given by Mrs. J.
W. Seigler of the Bethany club

C. H. Trapher of the Forest serv

Certificates and diplomas were
awarded by Miss Matilda Bell.
Mrs. W. M. Rowland, exterior
beautification chairman, urged
that all make plans for the flower
show to be held next Spring in the
McCormick community house. A
silver tea is also being planned
for the benefit of the library.
During the business session the
council voted to contribute ten
dollars towards sending a delegate
from the State council to the

Following the business session a
plant exchange was held and an
attractive display of handwork
was judged by Miss Pearle Calvert,
home demonstration agent of
Saluda County, and Miss Laura

Edgefield county.
A bountiful picnic dinner was
served during the noon hour.

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.

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.
