Makes Hash In Cream Freezer
Franklin Acker In The Anderson
Independent
Some sage some place some time
said something to the effect that
there was nothing new under the
sun.
Maybe not, but we bumped into
a sight the other day which had all
the appearance of being as new as
a freshly hatched chick.
We were rambling around just
across the river in Georgia and
stopped at a country store for a
cold drink and to casually inquire
if there happened to be any black
market fatback on the premises.
After disposing of the drink, we
moved towara the rear of the store
preparatory to inquiring about the
fatback.
The place had a back door. We
looked out, and there under a
shade tree a few yards away was
a fellow toiling at the crank of an
old fashioned ice cream freezer. It
was one of those five gallon jobs
such as drug stores used years ago,
the only difference being that the
chum proper was revolving inside
a metal barrel rather than a wood
en one.
And packed around the churn
instead of ice were red hot coals.
The fellow operating the contrap
tion evidently saw amazement
tamped cn our face. He grinned
and said, “Making Brunswick
stew.”
We started asking questions, and
the Georgian explained that he dis
covered this method of manufac
turing stew back in 1934. Every
Saturday he turned out five gal
lons at noon and another five late
in the afternoon, for the benefit of
hungry natives, who paid for it at
the rate of twenty-five cents for a
generous helping.
“The dasher in the churn brings
about even cooking,” the fellow ex
plained. “At the same time,” he
continued, “it breaks up the pota
toes and carrots and tomatoes and
onions and meat, turning out some
thing that looks more like well-
cooked barbeque hash than Bruns
wick stew.”
We would have hung around and
sampled a bait of the stuff had not
a traveling companion informed us
that plenty of fatback was available
five miles up the road at 50 cents
a pound.
CAROLINA COWS WIN
The state 4-H dairy judging team
from Greenwood county placed
ninth in the all-breed judging con
test at the All-American Junior
Jersey Exposition at Columbus,
Ohio, October 7-12.
Competing with 20 other state
judging teams, the South Carolina
group, composed of Charles Sper
ry, Thomas Lumley, Iris Wanda
Miller, and Guilda Templeton, made
a score of 2707 out of a possible
3300 in a contest where as few as
three points separated the placings
of teams.
In the Junior Jersey cattle show,
the South Carolina herd of five
Jersey animals owned by junior
members made a creditable show
ing, winning twelfth money in this
class in which 21 state herds were
exhibited.
The animals in the state herd, in
addition to the other two junior
Jerseys exhibited from South Caro
lina, were also shown in individual
classes where an average of 44
animals was shown in every class.
Six of the seven animals shown
from South Carolina won prizes,
Thomas Garvin’s Duke Favorite
Lassie winning twelfth in the class
for cows four years old and over.
Ward Crim, Jersey breeder of
Spartanburg County, sold a Jersey
cow at the exposition sale for $2,-
050; Ed Young of Laurens county
sold a cow and calf for $875; and
C. B. Parr of Newberry sold a cow
for $800.
The Greenwood County Jersey
club this year sponsored junior
participation in local, state, and
national contests, and President G.
E. Hawkins reports that the clul\ is
well pleased with Greenwood’s ac
complishments.
Other counties represented by
junior members and their animals at
the show were Newberry, with one
animal owned by William Parr;
Greenville, with one animal owned
by Donald Riddle; and Edgefield,
with one animal owned by Carl
Harris.

Plans for Big Chris Lmas Doings
The Merchants Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, have ap
pointed Gerald Paysinger general
chairman, and set up a number cf
committees to make plans for one
of the best Santa Claus Parades
and Christmas Decorations that
we have had for some time.
Notices have been sent out to
all the white schools of the county,
requesting them to participate by
entering floats or units in the San
ta Claus Parade.
A special committee will contact
merchants, industries, and organi
zations about entering floats >n the
parade.
The Finance Committee will con
tact all the merchants between the
21st and the 23rd.
The various committees are plan
ning to have a big Santa Claus Pa
rade, some street lights, loud speak
er for Christmas carols, candy for
Santa Claus to distribute and sub
stantial prizes for the parade. As
the cost of the above will be con
siderable, the merchants are re
quested to make generous contribu
tions when approached by the
committee.
The Finance Committee is com
posed of Jimmy Wiseman, chair
man, Gordon Clarkson, co-chair
man, Dr. Jimmy Burgess, Earl
Summer, E- B. Purcell, Earl Scott,
James Henry Davis, Ellerbe Sease,
Theo Albrecht, John Lindsay, J.
D. Rook, O. M. Cobb, R. L. Baker,

Jobless Payments Show
Downward Trend
For the fourth consecutive month
claims for servicemen’s readjust
ment allowances declined in Sep
tember when only 4,678 initial ap
plications for payments were filed,
a drop of 29.1 percent from August,
Jas. Julien Bush, executive direc
tor of the South Carolina Employ
ment Security Commission an
nounced today.
Coinciding with the decline in
initial claims was a drop of 12.8
percent in the amount of allowances
paid; that is $1,651,446 in Septem
ber, as compared with $1,839,311 in
August. One hundred and forty-
four servicemen exhausted the
maximum allowances they are en
titled to receive, as compared with
only 99 exhaustions in August.
Only 19,096 servicemen were
beneficiaries under the unemploy
ment allowance program, a 12.8
percent decline from August.
Self-employment allowances de
clined 43.6 percent under August,
the most drastic change since the
program was iniated. In September
5,263 self-employed veterans filed
claims and received $508,170 in al
lowances. This compared with 10,-
110 claims in August, on which
$988,531 in allowances were paid.
The Commission explained that
the drop jn self-employment allow
ances was due to the harvest sea
son and financial returns from
crops, as most of the self-employed
veterans were engaged in agricul
ture. “New initial claims,” the
statement said, “tend to reflect the
number of releases from the arm
ed services and have been decreas
ing with the near completion of
demobilization.” As for continued
claims, the decline was due large
ly to veterans returning to schools
and colleges.
The Commission is now carefully
checking the records of all claim
ants to determine whether they are
making an independent effort to
find work aside from their regis
tration with the Employment Serv
ice offices. A claimant who does
not actively seek unemployment is
not determined to be fully available
for work. A veteran must be fully
available for work, among other
requirements, in order to qualify
for unemployment allowances. The
Commission is also looking into
numerous cases which may indicate
that some veterans are working
while claiming allowances. This
constitutees fraud and subjects the
claimant to a possible fine of $1,000
of imprisonment for a year.
Benefits paid under the state un
employment compensation law (a
separate program from the readjust
ment allowance program) also
continued to decline and, during
September, totaled only $130,716,
which represented the low«-'.t
monthly level reached since Feb
ruary 1946. These payments com
pensated for 9,295 weeks of unem
ployment at an average rate of
$14.06 per week compensated.
Benefits paid under the state
unemployment compensation law
come from the state unemployment
trust fund. The Commission is re
imbursed by the federal government
for allowances paid veterans under
the Servicemen’s Readjustmene Act
of 1944, and these payments there
fore do not affect contributions paid
by employers into the state trust
fund.
