In th* beginning of the conquest it l*»d seemed the wise if stern course that all the natives should be driven out that the last vestige off heathenism be removed.

C. | Perry, Columbia business man, was re-elected president of the Crip pled Children Society of South Carolina at the - annual meeting held February 13 in Columbia. At the same time, other officers were also re-elected, as follows: W. F. Going, Columbia and Mrs. W. E King, Aynor, vice-president; C. W Griffith, Manniilg, secretary; Mrs E. T. Crawford, Greenwood, J. R, Freeman, Spartanburg, W. L. Kin ney, Bennettsville, Dr. C. N. Sis son, Hartsville and Charles Webb, Charleston, executive committee men. The report of the executive sec retary, S. R. Shillman, Sumter; moving picture taken at the Or thopedic Camp last summer to which the Society sent 38 chil dren; reports of three of the 11 “bedside teachers” of the Society, Mrs. Henry Mills, Columbia; Miss Sally Brawley, Spartanburg; and Mrs. W. R. Plowden, Sumter: and a luncheon were highlights of the program. “Educating the Home Bound Crippled Child” was the subject of an address by Dr. C. N. Sisson, Coker College, Hartsville, whose sociology classes maintain an ac tive chapter of the Crippled Chil dren Society, unique in the United States. “These children are crippled in body,” he declared, “but mentally they are craving opportunity which only the proper type of education can give them It is the duty of this Society to provide that opportunity, and answer this call to service.” The ten-point program of the society, Executive Secretary Shill man pointed out in his report, in cludes hospitalization, medical treatment, wheel chairs and crutches, artificial arms and legs, special foods and services (such as shoes), bedside teaching in hos pitals and teaching the home- bound, training for a job, trans portation, and a prevention cam paign. “The growth in support of our work by the public has been both steady and gratifying,” he de clared. “Our society now has friends in every corner of South Carolina, as demonstrated by the gross seal sale receipts of $40,210.- 16 in 1945. At first, we were bare ly able to supply a few children with medical attention, hospitali zation, and appliances. .Now we have • .developed a well-rounded program, and have served more than one thousand of the State’s crippled children in some capa- city,” X Protecting Woodland Pays Real Dividends Clemson, Feb. 23. — Point 10 of the Peacetime Agricultural Pro gram for South Carolina, 1946, states: “Take care of the farm woodlands, and do a better job in marketing the products.” Commenting on this point, Ray Orr, assistant extension forester, §ays that fire is one of your for ests’ worst enemies and if we al low fire to burn over our wood lands year after year we will soon have a piece of property which we are paying taxes on and yet it will not be paying us any divi dends. Fire kills most of the young trees which are beginning to come in to take the place of the ma ture trees. It damages our older trees, causing them to rot and of ten weakens them until they are -.usceptibile to damage by insects. This results in poor products tD market. When fires are allowed to burn we also have other losses. We bui*n all the litter on the ground which enriches the soil and holds it. With this litter gone, we l3se tons of our topsoil, we lose food and edver for our wildlife, and then we lose the birds and ani mals themselves. Putting all these losses together and subtracting them from what we gain will prove that fire does not pay. So when we are burn ing brush or ditch banks, let’s first prepare if it must be burnt. Have enough help available to fight the fire if it gets out of control, be sure it is out before we leave it, and use all precautions always. r >r. ISfiJ * i- te' L.
