Caldwell, Chair man of Selective Service Lo cal Board No. 36 for Newberry County pointed out today that apparently many persons are forgetting that Selective Service is still functioning and effec tive under its 1948 Law. The obligation to register with Se lective Service is the duty of all male persons in the United States who were bom after Au gust 30, 1922 through the age group of those who are now becoming 18 years of age, if they have not previously regis tered under the 1948 Law. All male persons in those age groups who have been and are now on active duty with the regular branches of the armed forces, persons who are confin ed by physician’s orders, or confined in a penal or similar institution ar e exempt from registering only so long as such status continues in effect; that is to sal, a person (born after August 30, 1922 and those be coming 18 years of age who are in any of the categories de scribed above, are required to register if they have not pre viously registered under thq 1948 Selective Service Act after they are separated from the armed forces, recovered from illness or are released from confinement. The . Board particularly de- sjres to -ball attention to the fact that all young men becom ing 18 years of age are requir ed by the Presidential Procla mation to register on their 18th birthday or within 5 days after their birthday. Th e Selective Service Board is located in the basement of the County Court house and is open Mondays through Fridays. The Board also wishes to ad vise registrants who have re ceived Questionnaires that it is mandatory that they fill out and return same within the time permitted by law to the Local Board as these question naires are sent out for the pur pose of classifying registrants. Veterans are particularly re quested to complete and return these questionnaires. Quite a few in this group have neglec ted to attend to this duty, or are under the impression that previous service or the fact that they are in a reserve ex empts them from filling out same. However, it is the duty of each and every registrant unless they are now in active service to complete and return the questionnaire sent to them. It is also the duty of each reg istrant to keep the Local Board advised at all times of the ad dress where mail will reach him.

SEEN ALONG THE ROADSIDE By J. M. Eleazer Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist I have told you before of Rhett McGregor, dairy farmer of Lower Richland. Went by his place with some folks the other day on a trip to study grazing over the state. He is getting his farm to where he has all he can use the year around. He said his milk pro duction each day through the winter and now is $75 higher per day from his herd of about 90 cows than it was last sum mer when his pasture burned up during the drought. He hopes to remedy that with ir rigation. Or, if he can’t get the water, with surplus growth that’s made during the moist times and carried through. And I notice that my friend of our Clemson days is one of those “We” farmers I' have told you of before. Everything about that farm is the all-in clusive we, not the singular selfish I. And I’ve noticed where you see one of those “Wte" farms you generally see a hustling one where they are getting along. Can you remember when folks had to mind flies off the table while they ate in their unscreened houses? I can. We had a bought gadget that you wound up and it woud wave back and forth there on the table and help shoo them off. And some of the smaller children were always left at the end of the row under the persimmon bush to mind them off the sleeping baby, while the mother worked in the field. My, how times have changed! Now with screens and DDT, w e seldom ever see a fly in the house. And if we do, we chase it with a swatter until we make a hit. No doubt this is one of the reasons more of the babies live now and that folks get older than they used to, on an av erage. A boy down home asked his father how you spell chitter lings. His father replied, “Son you dont’ spell ’em. You eat ’em. And they’re the best part of the hog.” Reminds me of a salesman that came into our county store and his name was Hamm. He introduced himself as “the best part of a hog.” Without hesi tation the storekeeper stuck out his hand to shake and said, “How are you Mr. Chitter lings, I’m glad to meet you.” At home a few days after butchering we always had our choicest meal. It was the chit- terling supper. We cooked ’em all day and fixed ’em like creamed chicken for supper with grits. And until this day, I have never found anything that’s better. And to think, some folks throw ’em away! But it’s each to his liking, I guess. Experiment and experience have both shown that it takes a heap of cotton stalks on the land to make a lot of cotton. Thick spacing in closer rows has come to most fields. But farmers still have trouble get ting th e hands to leave it thick enough. They have a good stand, and then chop it below the point where it makes the most cotton. Lard has been cheaper than hogs. And the experts look for that to continue. That means we need hogs that will cut out the least fat and most high priced lean. But the trouble had been that the markets have not rec ognized this. They pay tho same price for all sorts of fin ished hogs, fatty ones or the leaner types. And it is cheap>- er to put fat on a hog than it is lean. The USDA men who have been working on a better qual ity hog have had some prelim inary meeting with the packers to try to work out a basis for paying >ust premiums for the crosses and breeds that turn out the higher percentage of lean meat. But so far I have n’t seen it start coming back to the farmer in the form of a better price for that sort. And until that happens, the farmer’s interest is going to be just to grow the hogs that he can get to top weights soonest and cheapest. At Beltsville, Maryland, the government is doing a let of work towards producing a hog CAPT. LONG ASSIGNED TO HOSPITAL. IN JAPAN Captain Verta R. Long, Army Nurse Corps, daughter of Mrs. Frances L. Long, Route 3, Pros perity, has been assigned to the 172nd Station Hospital, Ninth Corps, in Sendai, Japan. Captain Long is a graduate of Columbia Hospital, Columbia, where she received her diploma as a Registered Nurse. She en tered the Army on February 1942, and received training at Camp Rucker, Alabama. Dur ing the war she served with the 218th Hospital Ship Com plement in the Philippines, New Guinea and England. She sailed for overseas duty in Ja pan on May 13, 1949. that will give more lean meat. And we have a few growers in the state who are interested in doing th same thing. What we need is that premium for such hogs, and then the thing will likely begin to click. r ^y/^SAFETY^sS? o* VOU« INSURED UP TO /£ Allow your savings to earn a better return lor you ••• with HMiliL^llH^AJI - safety Newberry Federal Savings and Loan Association ~7%e mosf 73eac/f/&/ 'BCZ/o/a/// Hold Everything" until you get hold of the best '•T* A Insist on getting these EXTRA VALUES exclusive to Chevrolet in its field! . • - WORLD'S CHAMPION VAIVI-IN-HIAD ENGINI tin extra »(Bclwt power plant that's aetting the trend for the induetry.
