Bill of two steps which will insure receipt of sud- sistence allowance. They are: make a report of your earnings as re quired by the ceiling law, and make sure your proper address is on file with Veterans Administration. E. B. Turner, manager of the South Carolina regional office at Fort Jackson, announced that vet erans in training in educational in stitutions are now required to sub mit earning reports at least once during a semester. Where educa tional institutions do not operate on a term or semester basis, reports will be required every four months. Earning reports are also required of on-job trainees. Failure to notify the Veterans Administration regional office fin ance officer of address changes have delayed checks during the past six months, Mr. Turner said. Checks can not be forwarded from former addresses. They are returned to the U. S. Treasury pending receipt of the veteran’s new address. When completing earning import forms, veterans are urged by Vet erans Administration to read all in structions so that no delay will be experienced through submission of inaccurate or insufficient data. These forms will be mailed out by Veterans Administration approx imately 15 days before the first of the month in which they are due and must be returned to Veterans Aidministration by the fifth of the following month. Veterans Administration training officers regularly visit firms em ploying trainees and institutions where veterans are enrolled. Every veteran can assure the receipt of re gular subsistnce if he consults with his training officer regarding the technical aspects of the amount to report on the earning form.

Columbia, Jan. 18.—Since late summer the people of Ninety Six watched with concern and interest, as well as discomfort and fear, the burning of a huge pile of sawdust covering approximately four acres of land and rising to a height of forty feet. The monster blanketed the nearby highway with smoke and at times made vision and breathing almost unbearable in the nearby cotton mill and mill village. At other times the blanket of smoke would cover the town of Ninety Six and reduce street and highway visibility and irritate the throats and lungs of the residents. Letters were written to various local, state and national govern mental agencies to find a solution for the problem and even a U. S. Senator was appealed to for aid. The “eruption” took place on De cember 12 when a high wind car ried the flames and burning par ticles from the hades-like crater to a nearby large dry kiln which was completely destroyed by fire in a few minutes. The office building ol the Self lumber company was also vacated as apparently it, too, was going to be consumed, but by some miracle it did not ignite. The adjoining planing mill of the same company caught fire in a dozen places but by quick work and luck all of the fires were extinguished. The flames went through the mill to ignite the lumber yard across the railroad track where a stack of lumber was burned and then the flames raced across the high way and set the woods on fire and this forest fire burned for a dis tance of over a mile before it was extinguished. Officials of the State Commission of Forestry visited the scene the next day and it was the opinion of them, the mill manager and local officials that if something was not done to abate the hazard of the burning sawdust pile that it would only be a question of time until the office building and balance of the mill structures would be con sumed by flames. There was also the possibility that the adjoining mill village would be endangered. Furthermore, the constant cloud and blanket of smoke in the near by towns, on the highways, streets, and on the railroad track -would result in additional damage to property and lives. A discussion brought out tne fact that the most logical solution was to eliminate the sawdust pile entirely by increasing combustion. At a later date the local people obtained an old military plane mi nus the wings and set it up at the sawdust pile so that a stream ol air would occelerate combustion. This has been found to be quite satisfactory and the huge pile of sawdust is being burned at a mucn more rapid rate and during times of high winds the aeroplane pro peller furnishes a counterblast to blow the flames and burning par ticles away from the mill. In many communities sawdust and shavings are sold, in the event the saw mill or planing mill does not use them for fuel. Where they cannot be sold and are not used they should be given away or burn ed, as produced, in a suitable re fuse or screened enclosure. The State Commission of Fores try stated that the amount of shavings and sawdust can be kept to a minimum if portable mills supplying concentration yards and planers cut their rough lumber to as near the desired thickness as possible in order to avoid excessive cuts by the planers. SMITH-PHIBBS In a ceremony marked by solemn ity and beauty, Miss Margie An nette Phibbs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Phibbs and John William Smith, both of Newberry were united in matrimony Saturday morning, January 18 at 11 o’clock in the home of the officiating min ister, Rev. C. J. Rice on College street.

Clemson.—Extension Circular 295, The 1946 Cotton Contest, can now be obtained free upon request at county agent’s offices or from the Publications Department at Clem son. H. G. Boylston, cotton improve^ ment specialist of the Clemson Ex tension Service, has prepared this circular which gives complete In formation on the Five-Acres Cot ton Contest and the 1946 winners and all contestants, with their yields and staple lengths. The Five-Acre Cotton Contest is being conducted, the circular points out, to encourage larger yields per acre of better-quality cotton and to establish better practices in the use of good seed of improved varieties, better cultural practices, profitable fertilization, control of diseases and insect damage, and better harvest ing and ginning. The Clemson College Extension Service organized this contest in 1926, and the State Publishing company of Columbia furnished the first prize money. Except in 1931 and 1932, the contest has con tinued each year. Beginning m 1927, the Cotton Manufacturers’ Association of South Carolina ha- been donating $2,000 each year for state and district prizes. Begin ning in 1945, the South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association has contributed $3,000 annually for county prizes. There were 628 cotton contest fields entered and records turned in by contestants in 1946. Esti mates were made of each field and samples of 250 bolls were pickea. Calculations were made after gin ning and weighing and final esti mated yields were determined. Winners were announced and giv en their prizes at a luncheon in Co lumbia Thursday, January 16. Down Memory . • Lane .. Newberry's Progressive Paving Pleases People City council has decided to pave the following streets: Academy, Crosson and Davis streets in West End; Caldwell and Milligan streets, towards Mollohon mill; Pope towards Helena to the city limits; Nance toward the Coun try Club to the limits; McCaughrin avenue from Glenn to Summer street. Harrington street is under con struction now and the approach to the bridge in Boundary is being constructed. Dr. S. J. Derrick and Prof. James C. Kinard will attend synod at Cameron, Tuesday and Wednesday, January 18 and 19. They say that the electric red light signals will congest traffic. How it will congest it any more in Newberry than it does in other towns where they have the signals we do not know and do not under stand, but suppose it does congest traffic, is it not better to have driv ers lose fbrty seconds and give the pedestrians a chance and avoid collisions and possibility the kill ing of some one. We think so. Let some of these drivers who are in so great hurry go around the side streets as they should do when they have no business on Main street and the other crowded streets. Mrs. Rena Kinard is visiting her son, Prof. James C. Kinard. J. H. Clary has had his ’ front yard filled in up to the street level which was raised when the new concrete bridge over the railroads was built, and is building a con crete front porch, which improves his place a great deal. B. H. McGraw, who underwent a major operation Wednesday morn ing, is reported as doing as well as could be expected. GRAIN SORGHUMS PROVE GOOD LIVESTOCK FEED Clemson.—Grain sorghums hold promise of party replacing com since low corn yields in South Carolina and the increased demand for feed for livestock have caused farmers to look for a suitable sub stitute for corn. From results obtained at experi ment stations and on farms through out the state, yields of sorghums varied from 20.1 bushels to 66.b bushels per acre. The time from planting to full-head 1 emergence varied from 58 to 79 days. Grain development was complete in 14 to 21 days after head emergence. Varieties 48 inches or less in height can be harvested with an or dinary combine by elevating the cutter bar to its highest position. The most promising varieties for combining are Caprock, Plainsman, Martins, and Midland. Schrock Kaffir, which produced the highest yield of grain, 66.6 bushels per acre, averaged 74 inches in height and is not suitable for combining. The heads of most varieties or grain sorghum are very subject to mold and mildew under high mois ture and humidity conditions, and they should not be planted until the latter part of June or the first of July so that ripening of the grain and harvesting will occur in Octo ber, a month of light rainfall. The heads of Bonita, Double Dwarf Sooner, Double Dwarf Milo, and Early Hegari are too compact for the humid conditions of the Coas tal Plain area. In view of the yields obtained in these tests and considering the ease of harvesting with machinery, it appears that grain sorghums will be a valuable supplement to corn as feed for livestock. MRS. NORRIS ADMITTED TO COLUMBIA HOSPITAL Mrs. Eugene Norris was admitted to the Columbia hospital Wednes day where she was to undergo an uperation today (Thursday). SALLEY RE-ELECTED S..C.
