FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1942 PUBLISHED WEEKLY $1.00 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE Dewey Kinard Gets Coveted Scout Award BUNK! Tuesday’s news dispatches tells u? that Lawrence M.

But we don’t know that it matters much anyway. WPA has runined all negro labor anyway. They arc not worth klling, much less hiring. We might ask like the prophet of old “How long, O Lord”, and answer our own querie to the effect chat “how long” may be when government officials learn that people a r easking themselves why they should buy government bonds and stamps when the government itself continues to pour millions into this .discredited rat hole. BORDEN AND THE CREAMERY A number of years ago the Borden company came to Newberry to ex periment with “iodine milk’*. At that time the company told us that they did not come because they want ed milk—they had, they said, all the ing and its teachings of character and citizenship mean more to boys during 1942.” “Our government has called on and will in the future make many calls on the Boy Scouts of America for services of vital importance to the defense of our country. We must not forget that we are training boys who will be the nation’s leaders soon after the bells of peace ring out again,” Mr. Dobson declared. Horace S. Williamson, who will take over duties as executive of the council February 1, succeeding O. B. “Country” Gorman, who resigned ef fective January 1, was introduced to the Scout leaders at the meeting. Mr. Williamson comes to the Blue Ridge Council from the Lonesome Pine Council which covers 15 coun ties in Kentucky and Virginia in which he has made a splendid record as Soout Executive. The Silver Beaver presentation, highest award given for exceptional service to boyhood was awarded to production just as manufacturing plants have been expanded and re tooled to speed up production of air planes, tanks, shells, ships, and thousands of other products vital to the nation’s welfare. “The most important tool in the lons at 18c net per thousand gallons; next 10,000 gallons at 14.4c net per thousand gallons; and in excess of 20,000 gallons at 10.8c net per thous and gallons.

The committee is very grateful or the generous response. It is ex- vey in calling the senate to order, and Speaker J. B.

Jackson, Jr., of Anderson and They were interested 1 in exploiting the fame of South Carolina iodine milk in powdered form. Now Borden is back—back be cause they want milk, iodine or no iodine. Borden can sell at good price a ll the powdered milk they can get. It will go to Europe, and as long as the war lasts the demand will be heavy. The war, however, will be over some of these days—we hope—and what then. Will Borden want New berry milk then? We are not trying to throw any cold water. We are concerned about our creamery which has furnished a market to farmers for so many years and brought a steady trickle of money into our trade channels. Borden is not putting plants all over the country as a permanent in vestment—a few thousand in a plant will be added to the price of the milk and Borden will be none the worse even if the plants are junked after the wor. We don’t know what the answer is—we just give you this to think about. LOWER AND YET LOWER With living casts going higher every day the commissioners of pub lic works and all connected with that unit of our cit ygovernment are to be specially commended for reducing light and water rates at this time. Already enjoying what is probably the lowest rate in the state, Newber- rrians will this month get an aver age reduction of 15 per cent in their bills. An article in another column goes more inti the detail. Study it and compare it with other cities and you can better appreciate what c. well managed unit of city govern ment can accomplish. In this con nection it is also well to keep ir mind that the entire transmission system of the city has been rebuilt and paid for in cash out of earnings.

Among his sug gestions for preparing the farm to meet the food-for-freedom goals were to plant kudzu in draws, on steep areas and on gully banks, clear bottom land for permanent pastures, plant trees on badly eroded spots, get wood supply by cutting out, crooked, diseased or crowded trees, repair broken terraces, disc and apply acid phosphate to old kudzu. Plan a home garden on moist land if pos sible, make a compost heap for spring use. Repair all farm mach inery for future use. “Any farmer in the Lower Saluda District can install these practices without technical assistance,” Mr. Gambrell declared. He added that technicians of the Soil Conservation Service, U. S. Department of Agri culture, are assisting farmers in the district to develop conservation plans for entire farm® as fast as they can, but they cannot, of course, reach all the farms this year. Meantime however, there are many things the farmer can easily do that will help save his soil and at the same time put his farm in better shape for pro ducing food products.” Technicians are anxious to meet with community or neighborhood groups of farmers to asist them in working out farm plans or to assist them in carrying out plans already made.

The association now has 810 members, and Mr. Lanford said it was hoped that every member would be present at the meeting. Complete and detailed reports on the operations of the Association will be made to the stockholders at the meeting, but they will be submitted in as concise form as possible, Mr. Lanford said. “This being a coopera tive organization,” said Mr. Lanford, “we feel that the members are entit led to know everything about its op erations and we hope that every member will feel it a duty to be present at this meeting.” Mr. Lanford stated that each mem ber attending this meeting will be presented with an album containing a Defense Saving Stamp. Governor Cooper deals almost en tirely with the tax problem in his annual address or message to the legislature. It is the most import ant matter now before the people and the one most talked about. He says that, “Our government is not too expensive, but our method of raising revenue is intolerable and in defensible.” We agree that we should make some very material changes in our methods of raising revenue. We think, also, that some of the expense of running the gov ernment could be very well cut off without detriment to the efficiency of the service or the government. 1 The banks of the city will observe Thursday, January 19th, as a holi day.
