Carpenters TUNG NUTS TO BE PRODUCED IN LOUISIANA New Orleans, July C.—The tung oil industry, new to this state but old as the hills of ancient China where the trees first were grown, is bringing added revenue to Louisiana. Taking its place beside the orange, pecan and pine groves in the south ern part of the state, the industry fast is deveolping from an experimen tal stage to a full-fledged money making crop. Until recently, the United States had depended on imports from China for its tung oil. The oil is used in the making of paints, varnishes, lacquers and enamels and its fatty acids are used in the production of shellac sub stitutes. Combined with aluminum oxide, it is converted into aluminum tungate, used in fiieprooting and wat er proffing numerous materials. The Great Southern Lumber Com pany brought the first tung seeds to Louisiana in 1930. The company planted sixty acres at Isabel—the first planting on a commercial scale in this state, although groves had been planted in Florida. Two other lumber companies followed the lead of the Great Southern and in short order a crushing mill was built at, Covington. Other companies joined in the new industry and the department of agri culture’s experimental station in Bo- guhisa began experimenting with the trees. Today, more than 20,000 acres of tung trees are under cultivation and two modem tung nut crushing mills have been constructed'—one at Bogalusa and one at Covington. The tung trees, however, need con siderable more care than the average grove. They must not be planted in soil in which the water table in within twelve to fifteen inches below the surface, the soil must not be alkaline, and the land must have been thor oughly cleared. BARBECUE AT TANGLEWOOD Those enjoying the Fourth of July barbecue at Tanglewood, the Ralph Baker home on Lake Murray, were, besides Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Baker and family, Mr. Kenneth Baker, Sr., and family of Greenwood; Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Baker, Jr., and family of j Clinton; Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Baker and family of Greenwood; Mr. and Mrs. Dick Baker and Betty; Dr. and Mrs. H.

Thirty four were present for the day.Besides the barbecue, boat riding, tennis, swim ming and other sports were enjoyed. WITH ITS PANZERS DOWN The Nation. “When the German Forces crossed the Bug River,’’ reads a dispatch from Berlin to the New York Times, “the Russians appear to have allowed them to advance without giving any indi cation of their presence. Then they opened a ‘devastating’ fire from all sides upon the German advance units. Such methods of waifare are scath ingly criticized in the Volgischer Beobaohter, which declares that shooting from the rear is a typical bolshevist action.” Even the Russians should know that under the protocol of the New Order it is not cricket to take advantage of a blitzkrieg with its panzers down.

The appeasers argue that we should do nothing to provoke Japan at this moment lest it enter the war on the side of the Axis. Actually, there is but one thing that will bring Japan into the war in the near future—the collapse of the Soviet defenses. Jap an can probably be kept out altogeth er if an understanding can be worked out between the United States and the Soviets regarding «aval and air bases along the Siberian coast. Trfe United States blocked Japanese ex pansion in this area after the last war. It should do so again today. THE NEWBERRY BUN KENDALL MILLS LUTHERAN Rev. J. B.

These confusions and contradictions in high quarters of the government must be ended if they are not to spread malignantly through the whole organism of national defense. The President can put an end to .the sabotage which runs far deeper than the blowing up of munitions plants.” The American people know the danger before them. What are they going to do about it? Let the Presi dent say. MISS PERKINS A DRAG Asheville Citizen. The sad pant of it is that Miss Perkins’ stubborn intention of her post is not strengthening the Roose velt administration with public opin ion. Mr. Roosevelt needs the unified support of the people. There are divisive forces at work and they are making some headway. The admin istration can ill afford to maintain ap official who is rather universally re garded as a mislt. People can hardlj*be expected to accept the lead ership of a cabinet official for whose qualification they have only derision. WHEN CICADAS SING Science Service. About mid-July one begins to hear them, their rasping, shrilling song sawing away interminably through the hot hdurs. “Locusts singing”. Only six weeks till frost now,” say the wiseacres. Maybe, and again may be not. The insects are not locusts, for locusts are grasshoppers; and these are harvest-flies, or (more ac curately) dog-day cicadas. And it’s sometimes six weeks, sometimes 12, between the first cicada song ard the first frost. A GREAT OLD SUNSET What a stormful sunset was that of last night! How glorious the storm and how splendid the setting of the sun! We do not remember ever to have seen the like on our round globe. The scene opened in the West, interpenetrating lustre, which colored the foliage and 1 brightened every ob ject into its own rich dyes. The colors grew deeper and richer untH the gol den lustre was transfused into a storm cloud full of the finest light ning, which leaped in dazzling zigzags all around over the city. The wind arose with fury, the slender shruhs and giant trees made obeisance to its majesty. Some even snapped before its force. The straw berry beds and grass plots turned up their whites to see Zephyrus march by. As the rain came and the pools formed and the gutters hurried away, thunder rolled grandly and the fire bells caught the excitement and rang With hearty chorus. The South and the East received the copious showers, and the West all at once brightened up in a long -pol ished belt ar azure, worthy of a Sici lian sky. Presently a cloud appear ed in the azure belt in the form of a castellated city. It became vivid, re vealing strange forms of peerless fanes and alabaster temples and glories rare and grand in this mun dane sphere. It reminded us of Wordsworth’s splendid verse in his “Excursion”; The appearance instantly disclosed Was of a mighty city; bodly lay A wilderness of buildings, sinking far And self-withdrawn into a wondrous depth. Far sinking into a splendor without end. But the city vanished, only to give place to another isle, where the most beautiful forms of folhige appeared imagining a paradise inr the distant and purified air. The sun, wearied of the elemental commotion, sank behind the green plains of the West. The “great eye in heaven”, however, went not down without a dark brow hang ing over its departing light. The rich flush of the unearthly light had pass ed, and the rain had ceased when the solemn church bells pealed, the laugh* ter of children rang out and, joyous after the storm, was heard with the carol of birds; while the forked and purple weapon of the skies still darted illumination around the Star ling college, trying to rival its angle and leap into its dark windows. Gandies were lighted- The piano strikes up. We feel it good to have a home, good to he on earth ’where such revelations of beauty and power may be made. And as we cannot refrain from reminding our readers: of every thing wonderful in our city, we have begun and ended our feeble etching of a sunset which comes so rarely that its glory should be committed to immortal type.—Author^ Unknown. FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1941 EXTENSION AGENTS TO HELP IN ALUMINUM SHOWER Clemson, July 5.—Agricultural and home demonstration workers were called upon today by D. W. Watkins, director of the South Carolina Exten sion Service to assist in every way possible in the aluminum-gathering campaign announced by the office of Civilian Defense on June 24. This campaign is part of a nation-wide drive to collect old and unneeded aluminum to, supplement the vast supplies needed for the production of defense equipment. Farmers and farmers’ wives will be called upon to contribute old alminum utensils and unused aluninum parts of all sorts. Items desired include pots and pans, radio parts, toys, shakers, screening .old washing-machine parts picture frames, book ends, ice trays, measuring cups, camera equipment, kettles and double boilers, bottle and jar caps, refrigerator plates, and el ectric appliances of all sorts. Any thing that’s made of alminum will do. Families are asked to begin now to iook around fo rtems which they will be able to spare. Gathering will commence during the week of July 21. Local committees composed of 4-H club members, home demon stration club members, and other groups will call on all farm homes to collect the aluminum scrap. Aluminum was one of the first items to be placed on the priority list by the Office of Production Manage ment. The drive for aluminum scrap does not mean that there is an acute shortage of this metal. Aluminum, however, requires a long time to make, and the quantity required for defense production is tremendous. Ten -thousand pounds of aluninum go into a fighter plane. It is estimated that the present scrap collection will re sult in obtaining 20 million pounds of aluminum. This will go to smeltering plants where it will be made into sec ondary aluminum that will release 20 million pounds of first-class aluminum from other vital uses to the airplane •industry. Indirectly, therefore, the 20 million pounds of scrap to he col lected will result in providing the necessary aluminum for 2,000 fighter planes.
