July 18 — The Greenwood Chamber of Commerce is taking the lead in putting in to effect immediately its own plan for piercing the Iron Cur tain and promoting permanent peace by the appointment of a Marshall Plan of Ideas Com mitter. CHAMBER of Commerce man ager Chauncey W. I^ever says a committee has been set up to survey the citizens of the Green wood area, screen the ideas, and send the finest suggestions to the State Department for action, un til an overall Marshall Plan of Ideas Organiation suggested in the “Greenwood Plan” is set up in Washington to receive these suggestions. The “Greenwood Plan” would have similar committees set up by Chamber of Commerce in towns and cities all over the country in an effort to survey the entire nation for ideas “to pierce the Iron Curtain and pro mote permanent peace.” THE PLAN, put forward by the Greenw r ood .Chamber of Com merce, resulted from the recent proposal by Senator William B«nton (D-Conn) that a Marshall Plan of Ideas’’ be set up to put America’s aims before the w r orld. The “Greenwood Plan is the first concrete proposal to put the Marshall Plan of Ideas into ef fect, it is understood. Senator Benton is quoted in a new\s story from Washington as supporting the “Greenwood Plan” one-hundred percent. The plan has gained editorial support over America. FISH ELECTROCUTIONS BEING WATCHED Fish in the Savannah, Seneca, Saluda and other rivers are get- tiong a dirty deal. IT SEEMS that a number of persons minus the sportsman instinct have secured magnetos out of old fashioned, hand cranked telephone. To these they have attached bare copper wdres, then strung the wires out into the streams. By operating the magnetoes, they have managed to stun all fish in the immediate vicinity, causing them to rise to the sur face. Thereafter it w r as only a matter of picking them up. This practice little differs from the old practice of dynamiting fish. LAST WEEK a plane reported to have been occupied by federal game wardens swooped low over an area w'here “fish electrocu tion” was going on. No arrests have yet been made, but the magneto boys are reported to be using more caution. About all that can be said in favor of higher food prices is that they discourage overeating in hot weather when everybody feels better on a lighter diet.—ex.

Holland of the local Recruiting office for New berry and Fairfield counties, said today that inquiries for volunteer ing for the Army has increased 95 percent since the first of July, and volunteer enlistments about 60 percent. He said that in the past week his office has processed and ac cepted 15 men for service. The U. S. Army and U. S. Ail* Force Recruiting Service announc es art' immediate change in re cruiting policy which lowers the required standards o1t .recruiting to that of induction, according to Lt. Col. John H. Scott, Deputy Commander for Recruting in the South Carolina District. Colonel Scott said that this change in qualifying standards came after the first call for Selective Service had been an nounced. “This new change lowering the enlistment score will enable some applicants to enlist in the Regular Army who have heretofore failed to meet the high enlistment standards.” Enlistments in the Regular Army are now being accepted for periods of 21 months: two, three, four, five and six years. The U. S. Army and U. S. Air Fore Recruiting Stations will start processing the first regi strants for induction on 1 August 1950. This new change in downgrad ing qualifications for enlist ment in the Regular Army does not effect the standards for en listment in the U. S. Air Force. Sergeant Holland said that the office located at 1209 Friend street, will be open every day including Sundays from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. For further information contact Sergeant Holland at the New berry Office on F’riend street.

NEW USE For COTTON Have you wondered about the little wads of cotton on screen doors about the city? So have we, and we have nosed out the answer from the owner of a screen so equiped. They are fly repellants! With a wad of cotton on your door a fly simply won’t light on it and consequently is not there to dart in the house when the door is opened. And this is not just a local idea. A traveller to Beaufort, N. C. says that the little white wad is a very common sight there. Want to try it? Just get a piece of absorbent cot ton (you no doubt have it in your bath room) about the size of your fist or a bit smaller and fasten it to the upper panel of your screen and watch results. People who have install ed these fly scarers swear they work. Try it for your self. Ike Says Must Win FRESNO, Cal., July 18—(INS) —General Dwight D.

They all have a practical purpose, though, and still leave irte a little room in case I should catch a fish. Here’s what mine contains, in addition to whatever reels, lines, lures and leaders I am using on a particular tri %f nosed pliers with a wire-cutting device ,a bit of ferrule cement, a tiny screwdriver, a bit of cel lulose tape, a quite small first- aid kit, a piece of cloth about two feet square, line dressing if fly fishing, some extra match es, a small piece of soap, spare hooks and a split shot, a coil of line, a hone. - Most of these are safeguard's against the occasional mischance that can ruin a fishing trip; the rest are practical aids for a day afield. The minute weight of the raincoat is little price to pay for its comfort when a storm breaks, and its also a good thing to slip into if the day suddenly turns cold. The pliers make a good disgorger, cut wire for leaders when ocean fishing, or the shanks and barbs off hooks when necessary. Ferrules and tip guides are apt to work loose at the most inappropriate moments, hence the ferrule cement (and the ex tra matches to heat it). The screwdriver keeps screws tight in the reels and saves the sharp blade of my pocket-knife. The cellulose tape comes in handy for temporary rod repairs and other uses. The square piece of old cloth has several functions. Damp ened, it can be used to wrap fish for carrying in the creel. It’s useful for wiping the hands after handling messy bait. It makes an improvised net for catching hellgrammites. The piece of soap, when rubbed over leaders that insist on floating when they shouldn’t, sinks them —and sometimes it is nice to wash with. With the extra hooks, line, sinkers in the form of split shot, and the other items mentioned, I can rig up a fishing outfit just ih case I should forget or break my rod, or loose my reel and line. The hone is important. No matter whether you are fishing with bait, artificial flies, plugs, spoons or s{*ltwater equipment, you catch more fish with sharp hooks. a $1-50 PER YEAR WALLACE TO BE CLERK & TREAS City Council has apppointed Clarence Wallace to be Citjy Clerk and Treasurer succeeding Mrs. Aileen Sweeny L resigned.
