SELECTIVE SERVICE
Mr. J. D. 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.

tion’s 220,000 elevators.

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.

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.
