Lesson for March 4: Joshua 1:1-4;
93:1.11.
Memory Selection: Deuteronomy
*19. ■
A captain of t thc EnRiisbarmy,
•erving in our country in the in
terest of a Liberty loan during
*»e World War I, expressed
*>e truth often met with In his
terse comment upon the death
of Kitchener—“No man is indis
pensable." So great a man as
Moses was not. As soon as he
■ied, Joshua was called to lead
ership. God's providence coin
cided with the practical in bring-
b>g a mighty younger man to the
■ront when the aged Moses had
cached the end of his pilgrim-
Many years afterward, when
A>shua himself was well stricken
is years, the promises made him
m a younger man were repeated,
•nd with reason, for the Israel-
Res had not entirely possessed
Me land of Canaan.
It was hot an arbitrary thing
■>at the remnants of the nations
*» the midst of Israel should be
Aiven out. At intervals through-
cwt the history of the Israelites
•»e paganism of surrounding na-
•tions proved a snare to them. 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.
So in the close of the lesson
tort we find a warning against
aay compromise whatsoever with
. heathenism and the solemn in-
jmetion to cleave uqto Jehovah,
• who had driven out “great na-
and strong" before th£nV
would still empower • one*

. HUGH C. BROWN,
1 McCORMICK, S. 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,”

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.

Gene La Roe is a billiard star
. . . remarkable thing is, he has
but one arm. He goes around
the country entertaining in vet
erans’ hospitals. The U. of Min
nesota's swimming team has nev
er finished lower
than fourth in the
26 years Niels
Thorpe has been
coaching it. Mon
ty Stratton, who
pitched for the
Chicago White
Sox until he lost
his right leg in a
hunting accident
back in 1938, is
attempting a comeback ... he
has signed with the Sherman
club of the East Texas league
. . . last year he hurled a four-
hit shutout for a Texas semi-
pro club. The cork leg doesn’t
slow him up much. New York
Yankees, led by Larry McPhail,
left U. S. mainland for first time
in spring training.
The Army football team
will play at least one game
in the Midwest and one in the
South every season, says
Gen. Maxwell Taylor, acad
emy commandant. Next fall
they will meet Michigan at
Ann Arbor, Mich. The south
ern game has not yet been
arranged. Wilfred Hetzel,
trick-shot basketball marvel,
claims he never played a
game in his life. There is a
rumor floating that Sammy
Baugh, pro football’s great
est passer, will be backfield
eoach at Maryland U.
After 20 years behind the plate
on major and minor clubs, Rick
Ferrell has decided to become
a coach with the Senators. Last
season he set a new record in
the American league for total
games caught . . 1,769. He is 39
and hails from North Carolina.
Slapsey Maxie Rosenbloom,
light heavyweight boxing cham
pion between 1930 and 1934, is
now in the movies ... he plays
fighter roles, naturally, but is
also cast as a comedian now and
then. Coach Harold Olsen, vet
eran basketball mentor at Ohio
State, was a member of two un
defeated Western conference
championship teams at Wiscon
sin in 1914 and 1916. Four of his
quintets have won the confer
ence title in the 24 years he has
been steering the cagers.
