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.

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.

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.

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.

After boll rot lit in on cotton
and took a good portion of the
crop last year, the diversified
farm stood out. For it had
something else to sell. And
other things did pretty well.

is so interesting is that you

Thanks! So the thing seems

Boys Are That Way
As a boy I admired grown
folks for many things. 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

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.
If the cuts become law, moy-
ie goers, sports fans and pa
trons of other amusement and
entertainment places would pay
$190,000,000 less in taxes a
year.
All told, the committee voted
for $240,000,000 in excise re
ductions today, bringing to
$575,000,000, the total of such
cuts it has recommended thus
far.
