BY THE
WAY...
By DORIS ARMFIELD
I was in town Saturday
morning, and several people
said “where have you been? I
thought you were in Newberry
to stay, but I haven’t seen
you.” Well, I AM in New
berry to stay, at least most of
the time, but actually, in the
work I am doing, it will be
hard to say from one day to
the next where I will be.
Someone told me they thought
I was in Washington learning
to operate on e of the machines
at the newspaper office, the
linotype or possibly “Gloria,”
the name we seem to have
adopted for the offset litho
graphy press. That is entirely
wrong, and as I mentioned in
my column recently, I will no
longer be with the newspaper
except to fill this particular
space.
My new work is, reporting,
but not newspaper ’ reporting.
It is stenographic reporting,
making official transcripts of
government hearings, hearings
connected with court proceduie,
or whatever happens to fall in
the nature of a meeting that
must be “reported.”
Last week, for instance, I
was in Florence Monday and
Tuesday reporting a govern
ment hearing. The trip was in
teresting for several reasons;
first, because the work is in
teresting; second, because I
had nver been to Florence and
was pleased to have a glimpse
at the city, although I must
say I was kept tcto busy to do
much sightseeing. Another
reason I enjoyed the trip, and
know I will enjoy future hear
ings, is that it gives one the
opportunity to meet the nicest
people. The “judge” in this
case was from Washington, and
before the hearing was over
we discovered that we had mu
tual friends. Two of the law
yers on the case were of a
prominent law firm in Green
ville; .ney knew all of our
lawyers, and I might add that
they were highly complimen
tary of all members of the bar
in Newberry.
In between these various
hearings, I will be in New
berry “transcribing” so if you
don’t see me in town, you can
be sure that I am somewhere
laboring over either the type
writer or the Stenograph. If
you ever need a reporter—
stenographically speaking, just
let me know!
At the Hotel Florence, where
I stayed when I was in that
city, I saw something I had
never seen before—a “two-
way” elevator. You get on the
elevator in the lobby in one
door, and when it starts up
the operator turns around to
another door which opens to
let you out. I presume it has
something to do with the way
the building is constructed, but
of ail the elevators I have ever
seen, that was something new
to me.
I don’t know whether you
appreciate puns — usually I
don’t, but once in a while one
strikes me as being funny. This
one I noticed on a billboard
on the way down to F’orence
last week, and it took a little
while for it to sink in. It was
an advertisement of a furni
ture store and the caption was
•Let us feather your nest with
a little down.”
I may as well tell you an
other one I have in mind, and
get it over with. When I was
in Washington, I usually stay
ed at school until 5:00 p.m.,
then rode dut to Virginia with
a couple officials of the Vet
erans Administration who also
lived out Clarendon way.* One
of them most always managed
to get a laugh out of us after
a long hard way, when even
a corny joke was funny. One
afternoon, we were all near a
state of exhaustion, they from
work and me from study, when
the gentleman came out with
this:
There were two little Indian
boys, once, named Creampuff
and Shortcake. They were al-
'ways the best of friends—from
the time they were babies,
right on through their boyhood
and until they were grown
men. Creampuff fell in love,
and decided to get married,
but he and Shortcake couldn’t
bear th e thought of being sep
arated, so Creampuff said
“Well, Shortcake, you can come
live with me and my squaw.”
He did, and things worked out
perfectly for several years, with
Shortcake living with Cream
puff and his squaw, and work
ing in the fields. One day
Creampuff looked out of the
window and saw Shortcake ly
ing on the ground in the mid
dle of the field. He and his
squaw rushed out to see what
had happened, and poor Short
cake was dead. Creampuff
looked at him sadly, and said
“Well, I guess I will go dig a
grave and bury my old friend
Shortcake.” But his wife said
“Ugh—you no bury Shortcake
—Squaw-bury-Shortcake.”
All right—I’m sorry! But if
I’m forgiven this time, I’il be
back next week with some
thing, I hope, of a little more
serious vein.

Clemson Extension Information
Specialist
Dorchester county has 1,680
farms.
The past year 790 of them
shipped hogs through their
local association. I was with
County Agent King there the
last of November and they had
shipped 1,146 head that month,
of which 964 graded “tops.”
The November shipments
brought $52,591.33. Those for
the year totaled $669,340.83.
That’s a far call from the
time of all cotton, which is
not so far back.
Clemson’s extension hog men,
DuiRant and Graves, are re
minding farmers of the favor
able hog-feeding situation that
now exists. Corn is down
more in proportion than hogs.
This makes feeding look better.
When I stopped by his place
in Orangeburg, former County
Agent Dan Suber was getting
out a car of cured sweet pota
toes. He said, “Rough handling
makes culls out of all potatoes.”
And he showed me some other
wise nice ones that were going
across his grading table. But
they had been handled a
little rough at digging time.
They d^ln’t look so bad then.
But, after curing, each bruise
was a black surtken spot. And
folks just won’t pay the price
for potatoes like that.
It called to mind what I have
often heard our market man
Tom Cole, say, “Handle ’em

County Agent Jackson of
Williamsburg reports that only
4 of th el7 green pine fence
post that Clemson’s Mr. Nettles
treated for a demostration
there in 1940 show any signs
of decay yet.
Eight years of service, and
most of them still perfectly
sound, is quite a record for
pine post that are very short
lived without treatment.
The materials and methods
for thus treating green pine
fence post are all covered in
detail in Clemson’s Extensioi
Circular 262 entitled “Longer
Life for Fence Post”. It is

went early to the Pacific, and
the other to Europe. One and
then the other fell and was
buried their. And, after a
sojourn in foreign soil, the
other day they were brought
back and a double funeral was
held.
Flowers cut down before they
had bloomed!
As I see our fine youngsters
playing light-heartedly today,
I wonder if theirs too will be
battles far away. Lord forbib!

Figures G'.en In
Support Program
Washington, Jan. 10.—Presi-
;nt Truman estimated today
i e government will spend $1,-
►4,000,000 on farm price sup-
>rt programs during the two
;ar period ending June 30,
►50.
Most of this will be spent on
•oducts the' government takes
rer under support operations,
ihether it loses any money
ill depend on prices it is able
• get for the products when
finally disposes of them.
Mr. Truman estimated price
ipport outlays of $866,000,-
)0 for the current fiscal year
idfng June 30, and $538,000-
10 for the following fiscal
:ar. These forecasts assume
lat 1949 crops will not be as
rge as 1948’s record volume,
nailer crops this year would
ean smaller price support ex-
mditures than 'for 1948 crops.
Mr. Truman said, however,
i at should 1949 crops equal

the> new fiscal year would

Medical Care Free
Pure Oil Workers
/The Pure Oil company has
announced that beginning the
first of this year all its em
ployees will be entitled to lib
eral surgical, medical and hos
pital insurance entirely with
out cost to them. In addition
they are privileged to insure
members of their families un
der the plan at low cost.
In speaking of the plan a
company official put it this
way: “The Pure Oil company
feels that it is good citizen
ship and good business to pro
vide these benefits for its peo
ple.”
And again: “Steady employ
ment at good wages plus these
liberal employee benefit plans
helps to give them the sense
of security and the freedom
from worry that mean a better
job and a happier life.”
.Pure Oil is one of the pion
eers in employee benefit plans.
Ninety seven per cent of Pure
Oil employees are covered un
der a life insurance plan which
has been in force for 23 years.
Employees are insured under
this plan for a total of sixty-
one million dollars.
A liberal retirement plan
whereby Pure Oil pays two
thirds of the cost has been in
operation for thirteen years.
Ninety per cent of its em
ployees are covered.
None of the company’s plans
conflict with state insurance or
compensation plans. They are
over and above this.
Pure Oil has forged ahead
toward a place at the top of
the great refining companies in
the past few years and com
pany officials say that their
liberal benefits to employees
has been a deciding factor in
the company’s great growth.
Pete Coleman, local Pure Oil
distributor, has likewise grown
with his company, handling a
volume several times higher
than when he began a few
years ago.
