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.

you could use more money than in 1949. If you are

FARMS
AND
FOLKS
By J. M. 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.

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

Boys Are That Way
Last week I didn’t finish
about those picnics at the coun
try church. 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. The first one usually
