CARNEGUS Author of "HOW TO WIN FRIENDS and SM INFLUENCE PAYS TO ACCEPT SUGGESTIONS J OHN KING RECKFORD, president of the American Lead Pencil company, was just one of many young men working in the Philadelphia navy yard when the United States entered the World War in 1917. A factory had been established in the navy yard to manufacture seaplanes; Mr. Reckford was one of the engi neers. The cry was for more and more seaplanes. Every minute was precious. Our navy must have planes to protect the transportation of troops to France and fight off the submarines. There was immediate demand for a supply of bolts and nuts to be used in the construction of the planes. But where were they to come from? Young Reckford thought it over, then suggested to the commander of the navy yard that the Victor Talking Ma chine company, across the river in Camden, New Jersey, might be able to turn out the bolts and nuts. “You go over and get them to do it,” said the com mander. When he got there he learned that the company had just agreed to make gunstocks for the army and would not be able to take on another order. Hopeless. As they were poring over the blueprints, the chief engineer for Victor made a suggestion about a certain line of the drawing being apparently in the wrong place and suggested how its position could be changed to advantage. Reckford knew that the man was an expert, and said he would accept his suggestion. “You prob ably know more about such things than our draughtsmen,” said Reckford, “So we’ll accept your suggestion.” The officials glanced at each other, then one of them said: “WeTl make your nuts and bolts. We told the war department we would make gunstocks, but their represen tatives don’t know anything about wood working and won’t listen to a word we say.” Parenthood BY / \ MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associata Editor, Parents* Magazine .st.rK EaCLisLE a tf.WTafiT OR VX^HAT is adolescence? WelL it isn’t an illness as some parents seem to think, nor is it an unsolvable mystery. Perhaps parents could more readily un derstand this period in their chil dren’s lives if they would com pare it with the middle age they themselves are approaching. Both periods have had many scareheads written about them. Yet both are normal stages of one’s continuing adjustment to .life and if taken in that spirit can be c: revreriing as more serene s'.c.jcj of growth, v Among other changes, ad olescence marks the height of the individual’s struggle to adjust his own needs, im pulses and drives to the de mands and the curbs of so ciety. By the forties we have usually made our peace with society only to find that our individual selves have sometimes become buried in the process. So middle age is a struggle to find and re gain that true self which was so assertive in adolescence. For it is only that self which can see us through the years of old age. For example, take a girl with a strong maternal instinct. She may resent this drive during adolescence because the thought of someday being somebody’s mother is a threat to her newly discovered sense of herself as a person. Up to then she has been first of all a member of a fam ily, now she glimpses the won derful promise of someday be ing on her own. She is sure that once she is free of her family she will never want to tie herself down t»» a ol and babies. This c'./ilict her natural dfi.es the fears they rouse in her mak> rest lessness, unreasohablcnose, and those alternating days of being responsible and careless that so sorely puzzle parents. Eventually this girl out- '!■' grows her adolescent uncer tainty about her role in life, i' marries, has children and, because her maternal drive 4 is unusually strong, often loses hesseu completely in motherhood. Her children take most of her time, her thoughts, her interest. But sweetly dependent babies and children soon grow into obstreperous young people. They resent too much moth- ering, and forgetting her own adolescent longings to free herself from family domina- , tlon, the mother is hurt by her children’s wish to es- I cape from her watchfulness. By now, of course, the mother is approaching middle age. She is terrified over the fact that she is no longer as essential in her children’s lives as she once was. Not only does this mean emotional hunger for her, but she is losing the only job at which she has had any experi ence! Some women take ref uge in illness at this time of great adjustment. Others search for their old independent selves and find ways to fill their lives with useful activity. How can the adjustments of adolescence and middle aKe be made easier? By preparing for them early so they b> ::;orc gradual. FLAPPY IS A PERFECT PUPIL . . . Without missing a day at the Grace A.

Today’s edition of the Messen ger introduces “Smokey,” an ami able cartoon bear, with a wise and timely forest fire prevention mes sage. This inimitable cnaracter, wearing trousers and a forest ranger’s hat, will present to our readers a weekly message on for est conservation and protection. The importance of forests for providing lumber, and other woods products, has never been better recognized than today. The need for thousands of homes, increased paper output, and other products, is urgent. Growing trees to meet these demands, and to provide work for local labor in this com- muity will require protection from fire and mis-management. “Smokey’s” little reminders will help bring these thoughts home to the public. Our readers will have an opportunity to make sugges tions for drawings and sayings for future “Smokey Says.” If you have an idea to suggest, submit it to the local State or Federal Forester, or send it direct to the U. S. Forest Service, Glenn Build ing, Atlanta 3, Georgia. Any sug gestions made by our readers and used by “Smokey” will be credited to the person submitting the idea.

World Food Shortage Affects Feed Situation Clemson, May 20. — The world bod shortage is expected to con tinue throughout 1946 and until he 1947 harvest, according to H. A. Woodle, Clemson extension a- ;ronomist. More and more of our bod, especially grain, will be .hipped abroad to help feed starv- hg people. This situation must be faced by South Carolina farmers, who will plan their farm operations ac cordingly, if they are wise. Oar country’s grain is being shipped overseas because several times as many people can be fed with grain for direct consumption as ‘he number that could be fed with livestock products produced by the same amount of grain. So we can expect a shortage of grain for feeding our dairy and beef cattle, Mr. Woodle points cut. During 1946 and 1947 farmers must offset the shortage of grain by making the maximum use of pastures, hay, and grazing crops. Liberal fertilization will increase feed production and pay good civ- idends. Plans should be made to provide for an abundane summer, fall, and winter g’" ^rain sorghums planted r the latter part of June ar early July will be ready tc bine for grain in October, beans and grain sorghum p following small grains will CITATION OF LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION 'OW of • ng ’ in •'vn- * Ivet ited upply STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick.
