■m j '■ ■ M' FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1950 THE NEWBERRY SUN fyl+d Kestmg Anglers can’t seem to agree on which type of oarlock is best. So we asked Willard Crandall, who is a boating ex pert and also a fisherman, to review some of them here. North River oarlocks are permanently fastened to the oar by a pin which runs right through the' oar. This type is not at all bad for the novice since the • blade is in a fixed position and prevents him mak ing wild strokes. But you can’t feather the oars or ship the angle of the blade. The ordinary U-shaped oar lock has simplicity to recom mend it. The locks can be tak en off the oars if necessary. Most of these oarlocks have the tops of the U bent toward each other which keeps the oar from flying suddenly out of the lock; but unfortunately it makes the losing of an oarlock overboard more likely because the oarlock will come up with the oar in stead of staying in the socket, when the oars are taken out. It can slide off over the han dle or down the blade if there is no collar to stop it. The type of oarlock which consists of a ring that goes completely around the oar, like a U-shaped lock only closed at the top has great advantages. With any sort of collar on the oar it can’t be lost. And, of course, feathering and blade ed- LAST MEETING OF NCEA FOR YEAR v The Newberry County Educa tion Association held its last meeting of the year 1949-50 Thursday afternoon, April 20, at the Newberry High School auditorium. Mr. M. B. Gamak, Supt of Ware Shoals Schools, was the guest speaker. He delightfully entertained the teachers with a number of readings of his poems, thus sharing with them the wealth of his poetry. Miss Marjorie Smith accom panied by Miss Joan Dominick rendered several lovely vocal selection . During the business session the following officers were elected for 1950-51. President, Mr. H. M. Kolb of Bush River, Vice president, Miss Julia Kiblar of Newberry; Secretary, Mrs. H. H. Huggins of Pomaria. justing are perfectly easy with this type oarlock. It is us ually the real favorite of ex perienced oarsmen. The oarlock and socktt com bination in which the oarlock cannot be freed entirely from the socket, but is dropped down when not in use is justifiably popular. Such an oarlock can hardly be lost or misplaced. It is U-shaped and always ready for an oar to be slipped into. Some oarlocks have a swivel, rather than a shank, the swivel fitting into a special socket, and such oarlocks aren’t easy to lose overboard. Almost all styles of oarlocks can be fitted with a short safety chain which prevents loss over the side] Remember? Remember what a time you had getting coal this past winter? Of course you do, and you wouldn’t want to go through with that ordeal again. FORTUNATELY right now we have a stock of GOOD QUALITY COAL and can. make prompt deliveries. Let us put in at least a part of your winter re quirements now while you can get coal of GOOD QUALITY. Remember, you get much more Heat out of good coal. FARMERS Ice & Fuel Co.

THOMAS H. POPE FOR CONGRESS After giving a great deal of thought and consideration to the domestic and foreign affairs of our country, especially the fall of China and the ever increas ing threats of communism and socialism, I feel that I can be of service to the people of the Third Congressional district. The threat to every American citizen today is as real as at the time of Pearl Harbor. The only forces that can save our coun try are a revival of Christianity and a return to the principles of Jeffersonian democracy. As always, I will make a clean campaign and will fight to the finish.

CLAUDE WILSON FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. Eleazer ITS WORTH SAVING Row on row the young cotton plants begin to stripe the fields of the state. We have a good million acres of our best land, fertilizer, and attention given to the crop. And we can make cotton, if the boll weevil will let us. But we can’t leave ourselves to the mercy of the boll weevil and live very long from c of ton. Experience has shown that we can hold the weevil down with the proper use of the new poisons science has developed. But getting them properly used is the problem. So much of our poisoning in the past had been done in a hit or miss fashion. And where that is done, results do not come. But done right, they really .work. As bad as last year was, Clemson was able to at least double yields in every case at its Florence station where poi son was used. And this was de spite the fact that boll rot came in and took a lot after it had been saved from the weevil. A group of formers from the State Agricultural committee and agency representatives is putting on an intensive cam paign over South Carolina to get the poisoning job don£ right this time. Extension Di rector D. W. Watkins is chair man. You will be hearing from this group through press and radio. And your county agent and local agriculture teacher have the condensed directions for properly poisoning the weevil. Is your cotton worth saving? Surely, it must be, or you would not have already invest ed so heavly in it. But remem ber, do the poisoning job right or don’t do it at all.

A few years ago very little of it was. That a third of the peach crop of the nation is processed, not used fresh? That potatoes are finding a greater outlet through - froze* French frys? I visited the pioneer plant doing that up in Maine last fall. It was using 600 cars of Irish -potatoes a year and was finding a good outlet for its product. You simply heat the frozen ones and they are about as good as fresh ones, I w>as told. Distribution of them hadn’t reached our part of the country then. And they come about as cheap as you can buy potatoes and fry ’em yourtelf. Com meal and grits are made into better foods by enrichment that Clemson developed. Thus we live and learn. And live better.

I thought they were great, and that they could do anything. One of these was how they could untie a knot. We were taught that it was next to a sin a cut strings and throw them away. When a package came our folks always untied the knots and seved the strings for future use. And talking about knots, my shoes frequently got tied in hard ones. How, I don’t know. For I tied the usual loop or bow when I put them on in the mornings. And to me, as a kid, those knots were just impossible. The longer I tugged at them, the harded they seemed to get. The solution was always the same. I had to go to my mother over by the lamp,, where she could see good. She’d put a newspaper across her lap, and I’d poke that foot up there. Deft fingers made a slight jerk or two and the thing was un tied, just that quick. To me that was wonderful, how any one could do that Birthday Party Miss Patty Singley invited a few friends in Saturday night for a get-together on her four teenth birthday.

MOVIE AND SPORTS TAX CUT ASKED Washington, April 26.—Repeal of half the excise tax on thea ter tickets and sports event ad missions—cutting the levy from 20 per cent to 10—was voted by the House Ways and Means Committee today.
