FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1950 THE NEWBERRY SUN DORELLE CONCERT AT NEWBERRY COLLEGE The Dorelle Concert Trio is a distinguished group of un usual artists with a very defin ite aim of creating an apprecia tion of the best in musical lit erature. Each member has an established and enviable repu tation and they blend voice, violin and piano in a highly ar tistic program. The Trio has been touring the States for over three years, and wher ever they have performed they have been most enthusiastically received, with many reengage ments. Their aim is to give programs consisting of melodies whether popular, operatic, class ical or modem which every one in the audience can enjoy. This year they are again tour ing from coast to coast. This group will be presented in a program in the Auditorium of Holland Hall at Newberry Col lege on Friday night, March 10, at 8 p.m. Tickets of admission may be secured at the door; one dollar for adults and fifty cents for students.

Eleazer Life of the Low Country I was riding the Low Coun try late at night. Near Sum merville my way was blocked for a bit at a crossing by a long freight. It was what might be called the midnight pulpwood train. Wish I had counted the cars of wood. There must have been 30 or more. Next day those cargoes would likely be eaten up by great machines, and many more like them. And out would come other carloads of paper at the Charleston mill. At every station for miles on up I saw empties placed by that same train for loading next day. Thus a rather new phase of the economic life of the Low Country goes on. And trees have taken on new meaning. At first the cutting of pulp- wood all too often left waste land. But in more recent years the voice of the forester has been heard. And we see pulp- wood coming from improve ment thinnings and tops from logging. Where the entire crop is harvested, seed trees are be- in left in molt; cases so the trees can come back. And more folks are fighting fires. Clemson’s extension foresters Bill Barker and Cliff Hall tell me that this tree harvest can go on indefinitely and not shrink, provided intelligent practices are followed. And, my, what that .can mean to the farm income of the state! The State Forestry Commis sion maintains a service where by you can have your timber marked and estimated at cost. This way you can harvest your trees intelligently and not hurt the future there. And both the Clemson and the state foresters are at your disposal for free advice about handling your woodlands. When these things are done and intelligence applied to our woodlands, that midnight train can continue serving as an ar tery of economic life in our state. And other sections have similar trains daily too. Just a Bottle of Beer I know of this case. A group of workmen were returning from their jobs in another county. One wanted to stop at a roadside joint to get a bottle of beer. The driv er and owner of the car obliged. The others prevailed on him to have a bottle too. He didn’t usually drink it. But, “to be sociable,” took one with them. Down the road a piece he ran into a tractor and killed its driver. Everything indicated that it was unavoidable. But the officer who arrived soon after the accident smelled beer arid asked the driver of the car if he hadn’t been drinking. He admitted “one bottle.” That was enough. He got a year or so on the gang. Alcohol doesn’t fit a fellow for the roads. Everyone knows that. So the fellow who plays with it, even a little bit, like that man did, is liable to find its crimson stain on him at some unfortunate point down the road. only starts making something after the price on the other end exceeds that $2.75. So we see that there just can’t be any cheap peaches on the other end. If someone gave you the peach es, it would still cost about $2.00 to pick ’em on the mar ket. And add retail and other ,osts on the other end, and peaches would still cost a good oit up there. This illustrates the fallacy of i lot of thinking, specially on the other end. Industrial work ers and city folks want cheap er food, and they think the farmer is robbing them. He could give his stuff away, and it wouldn’t come much • cheaper oaying a lot more in proportion jn the other end. They are :or containers, freight, and handling charges than they are o the farmer who grew the stuff. tasted good. But I could hard ly take care of the second one, I was so full. Soon after the table was cleaned up, all went back in the church for a short after noon service. I usually went to sleep then on a back seat. For when you are that full you can hardly stay awake. Soon after we got home, about four o’clock, I would be rumaging around in our basket to see if anything to eat had been brought back from the picnic. My, how kids can eat! Great Institutions, these pic nics at the country church. May they never go. Air Show Here Sunday Afternoon at 3:00 J. K. Willingham, Sec’y Newberry, S. C. Where the Costs Axe The other day one of the best peach growers in the state was asked what it cost him to grow a bushel of peaches. He figured a while and said, ‘About 75 cents, assuming that frost does not cut the crop.” Then he figured that it cost him $2 a bushel in addition to put them on the market. That covers picking, packing, ship ping, and marketing costs. So there we have an actual out of pocket total cost of $2.75, based on his estimate. And, assuming a normal crop, he NOTICE—Am now prepared to assist taxpayers with their in come tax returns and am lo cated in two rooms of the BU{5 station at the rear of the court house where I’ll appreciate your business, Mrs. A f JL Counts.

Just got to where, the blessing was asked and the space here ran out. Then came the feast from a bountiful table. I got by my mother against the table and just waded in from there. I didn’t fool with ordinary food like fried chicken, country ham, pies, and cakes much. I went for those open-faced pies, egg custards, we called them. And “stickies.” They tried to make me eat right. But I took advantage of the situation there and just went for those two sweets that are still my favorites. I ate there until they started tasting not so good. Then I started easing up and down the table,. moving in here and there and grazing a bit. Eventually I became simply foundered on food and quit. Then it was I took my nickel and went out to the stand where they had a barrel of lemonade made with cool well water. There I got two glasses for a nickel to kill the thirst that all of those sweets had caused.
