Suber is building ter races with his farm tractor and tiller plow on 12 acres of land which he just bought in the Pressley School section of the county.

Mr. Suber is cooperating with the New berry Soil Conservation Dis trict and all his terraces were surveyed by Soil Conservation Service personnel. D. B. Ruff has a beautiful field of crimson clover over seeded in six acres of sericea just behind his house in the St. Phillips Community.

Huggins in the Pomaria section is planting ten acres of serecia which she plans to use for hay or grazing This field, in front of Dan Ber- ley’s house, is pretty badly washed and the sericea will provide good land cover and protect this class III land from from land d Mlof fJUu? in from further erosion. Parker Martin has planted six acres of sericea on his farm just below Newberry on the Hartford road. This field has been terraced and the sericea will produce good hay or seed and conserve and build up the soil for other crops later on. A. Y. Teed who lives in Little Mountain has wintered his feeder cattle on a good ground cover mixture of Fes cue, Rye grass and clovers. Mr. Teed has good stands of Ladino, Crimson and Sub-Ter- ranean clover which his cows have enjoyed and his neigh bors may see. He is planting some sericea in his pasture for summer grazing.

Ma jor Kellie H. Moses, Command ing Officer of the US Armj- and US Air Force Recruiting Main Station, Columbia, said that previously, only men who were authorized one of the first three grades could be enlisted with dependents.

Enlistment in the Air Force of men with dependents is still limited to men who are authorized one of the first three grades.

Memorial Day Is May Tenth The method of observing Confederate Memorial Day in Newberry has changed with changing conditions. As long as the Veterans of James D. Nance Camp were able to march to the opera house and up the steps, there the ex ercises were held—music, ad dress by a prominent out-of- town speaker, and the presen tation of Crosses of Honor. Fol lowing this program the Daugh ters of the Confederacy served an abundant dinner to the old soldiers and their wives. As the Veterans became too feeble to climb the steps to the opera house, their numbers growing fewer and fewer each year, the exercises were held on Monu ment Square, participated in by all of the school children, each of whom brought flowers for the monument. When the last Veteran had gone to his reward, the school authorities felt that ther e was no reason for this continued participation by the children, and the ob servance was transferred to Rosemont cemetery, to be held on the Sunday afternoon pre ceding the tenth. The atten dance there has grown smaller with the years. Since it is the boys and girls of today whom the Daughters of the Confeder acy wish to have impressed with the truths of Confederate history, the two chapters are very grateful to the school au thorities for the opportunity of holdnig the Lee-Jackson birth day exercises in January and now the Memorial Day pro gram in the high school audi torium. The Daughters are ex tending a cordial invitation to all of our citizens who love and revere the memory of the Confederate soldier to be pres ent on Tuesday morning, May 10th at 10:20 at the High school auditorium when an interest ing program will be presented. For years Boy Scouts, ’under the direction of Scoutmaster Wright Cannon have rendered and appreciated service by placing a Confederate battle flag on the grave of every vet eran. The program will consist of music by the glee club, and ad dress by Mr Frank Jordan, and the presentation of a large Con federate flag from the two chapters to the High School.
