CHARLES E. DUNN Cooperating: in Service. Lesson for Today. Mary 9:30-41. Golden Text: Mark 9:40. A few geniuses are able, like Robinson Crusoe, to live a satisfy ing life in solitude. But most hu mans are gregarious. We were created to be comrades. Our need for fellowship is well indicated by this appealing remark of a lonely boy, “Mother, I wish that I were two little puppies, so that I could play together.” “The most gra cious and the most useful minis tries/’ writes Dr. Fosdick, “are found in cooperation.” For good or for ill, we are all bound together in one great bun dle of life. As St. Paul says, “we are members one of another.” Crusoe was able to maintain him self on his lonely isle only by vir tue of his ability to salvage indis pensable supplies and tools from the wreck of his ship. Dr. Harris, a former President of Amherst College, has graphically described the dependence of the ordinary man on the labors of his fellows in far distant places. “When he rises, a sponge is placed in his hand by a Pacific Islander, a cake of soap by a Frenchman, a rough towel by a Turk. At breakfast his cup of coffee is poured by natives of Java and Arabia, his rolls are passed by a Kansas farmer, his beeisteak by a Texan ranchman, his orange by a Florida Negro.” The Master well knew that the most efficient and rewarding serv ice is rendered not by isolated in dividuals, but by teams. Hence he sent forth his disciples by cwos, and taught them to pray “Oar Father.” A great industrial leader dem onstrated his appreciation of the value of teamwork in the way he handled a young employee going wrong with drink. “My boy,” oaid he, “we are not going to drink any more, are we?” “No, sir,” replied the youth, “we’re not” “And we are going to send each week so much money home to the wife and kid dies, aren’t we?” “By heaven, sir!” was the answer, “we will!” -xx- Only Quality Sweets Should Be Produced 1 Clemson, May 7.—A further re minder from T. A. Cole, extension agent in marketing, and A. E. Sehilletter, extension horticultur ist, warning that farmers who are jumping into sweet potato pro duction without correct informa tion on production and handling may find themselves with a prod uct that will not sell to advantage on the commercial markets. The specialists point to the ex perience of growers in Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey, many of whom could not sell their sweet potatoes this spring. The expla nation, Mr Cole states on the authority of a buyer, is that the Porto Ricos from that area were not uniform well shaped potatoes and when the high quality Louis iana Porto Ricans came on the market they destroyed the market for the poorer quality product. South Carolina growers are urged to profit by this experience and use the methods recommend ed by the Extension Service, says Mr. Sehilletter. . ■ DR. HENRY J.

Gulliver, 1938 --Y- Camp Modoc News Camo Modoc, May 7.—No fires and only three false alarms is the record for the week jur.t ending and the camp is quite proud of the fact that for this period the fires and false alarms have been treating us kindly. Chaplain Proctor, who has been with us this week paid the en- rollees of this camp a compliment by saying that F-ll was hard to beat when it came to community singing. As the Chaplin sees a number of camps in his journey- ings, we take this as an exception al compliment. Captain Proctor is also a favorite among the enrollees of this camp. Mrs. LeCroy and daughter. Louise, who have been visitinc Lieutenant LeCroy, our Junior Officer, left Thursday night for heir home in Mississippi. During the next ten days it is ’xpected that topsoiling of the Prescott Road will be completed. The matter of a surface for the Key Road is now under considera tion and it is believed that it will orobably be a traffic bound maca dam surfacing. From the stand point of ultimate cost, the crush ed stone is believed to be less ex- oensive than topsoiling, as it has a longer life to offset the higher cost. Approximately three and a half miles of the Key Road above the Key Bridge is now graded out and readv for surfacing. Since our last report, we have had sufficient rain to see how the check dams are functioning and we are well satisfied that they arc serving well to curtail ditch line erosion. More of them are being installed daily and it is contem plated to build such in all ditches along the road side where erosion is a problem. More rain has fallen which has had a beneficial effect on the camp beautification project. The camp vegetable garden has like wise benefited from the rain fall. Sergeant Bruce Grantham, in charge of the Greenwood Recruit ing Station. Both young men chose Coast Artillery Corps, and will sail for the Philippine Islands about the 28th of May. Sergeant Grantham states that other applicants interested in military life may obtain informa tion from the office in the Green wood Post Office Building.
