SEEN ALONG
THE ROADSIDE
By J. M. Eleazer
Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist
It is fair today. And spring
is in the air.
The out of doors is ailing.
Sc : the kids. I will answer
in a uttle while. ,
* We will roam to the scluded
dells of the deep woods, where
the fragrant arbutus grows.
We will walk the dim roads
where the wild rabbits play in
pairs and have become tame.
We will follow the scream of
the eagle in quest, of its nest
ing place. We will hunt for
cocoons from which beautiful
butterflies emerge We will
slip the beaten bark from the
hickory sprout and make whis
tles from it, and walking sticks
from the branch. The kids will
play in the creek and catch
salamanders and tadpoles that
they will grow out into frogs.
I will likely get tired and
lie on a mossy northern slope,
look into the blue sky and
watch the buzzards soar on
high, as the kids ride down
trees for horses.
Wle expect to find wild flo
wers too. And perchance the
sluggish snake that has come
from his winter sleep. And
wasp nests, the boys will want
to fight any of them we find.
A hornet’s nest, that would be
a treat!
If my knife is sharp, we will
go by the cane braktfT Whis
tles and water squirters will

too will be fashioned from an
easy cutting stick and guided
on their course with broom
straw tails. Buzzers will be
And the boys will lie down
made from a twig and a leaf,
like an Indian and drink from
a spring.
We will locate the wild plum
thickets, black haw bushes,
black locust, and sand berries
while they are in bloom. For
we will need to know that
when their fruit ripens in sea
son.
These and many other tan
talizing whispers come to us
from the out of doors at this
season. Ears attuned to them
can hear them plainly, and they
are hard to resist. And I’m
not going to resist any longer.
For is is a half hour afternoon
on Saturday. The rest of the
day is ours. So a quick din
ner, comfortable old clothes, a
good walking stick, and we
-'ill be off on a grand adven-
vure. Get ready kids!

From Sept. 1, 1912 until Feb.
1, 1949 Tom Bowen served Pic
kens county as county agent.
On the latter date he retired,
after 36 years and five montlfs
of faithful and efficient ser
vice, while still in apparent
good health. A paragraph from
his last monthly report is typ
ical of the man:
“Have spent considerable
time this month getting ready
to retire. As I have said be
fore. it is with sad pleasure
that I retire. Iwould like to
say to my superiors and co-
workers that is has been a
great pleasure to have been
associated with you these long
years. This association has
meant a great deal to me and
my two sons, who have also
been connected with the agri
cultural work.
“My hat is off to my present
and former directors, and to
my past and present district
agents, whom I 'have always
considered my superiors. I
want to make this public state
ment that I’m still interested
in the agricultural work and
program and my service can
be attained yet if desired,
specially in regard to the 4-H
club work. I will still be
available to give any assistance
if so desired, to my successors,
Mr Wood and Mr. Bedenbaugh.
I also want to say I am grate
ful to my co-\w>rkers in the
office, specially 'to past and
present secretaries, would like
to hand each one a bouquet,
for I owe most of my success
to them, if I have made any
success.”
W’ith an attitude like that,
we are not surprised that Tom
wore so well with his people
and was able to serve Pickens
so long;. He loved his work.
And, since he retired, I am
told, he has been at home but
few days. His public interest-
is too large for Tom Bowen
to draw into fhis shell and be
come an old man. Luck to
him, and may many years pi
service be his!

Floors might not mean much
to the men. But they do to
the women, who must keep
them. We men would soon re
vert to barbarians anyway, I
imagine, if it were not for the
cultural and civilizing effect
of the women.
Miss Ruby Craven, extension
home management specialist,
with the assistance of a repre
sentative of the sanding ma
chine company and the local
home agents, is putting on one
day floor finishing demonstra
tions in farm homes in many
counties of the state.
Farm folks come and learn
to use the equipment that can
be rented. Then they can do
their own floors.
Miss Craven points out that
they are finding many beauti
ful old pine floors that are
bright and pretty after the dark
paint of years ago is sanded
off and they are finished in
light varnish and waxed.
At regular rates for hired la
bor for doing a job of this
sort, it is out of reach of many
farm families But by learning
how, renting the sanding ma
chine for a while, and doing
the work themselves, farm fam
ilies can have the «cheer that
