Carolina National Bank \ Germans Turn To Hymns As Red Invasion Fear Mounts r HEIDELBERG, July 21—Peo ple stand In knots singing hymns. I heard them sing the old Ger man favorities in the main square of Heidelberg, in the sum mer camps along the Neckar Val ley and in the Bavarian uplands. It is their only defense in the hours of crisis. Gone is the old swagger and bluster of the aggressive German type. For the first time, they are disapned and defenseless in face of a menace from the East. They sing their old hymns, to the tunes which were the inspiration of so many of our own, with the natural musical instinct of the average man and woman here. By Summer campfire along the pretty Neckar Valley, I heard voices singing a familiar tune. “It is a German hymn,’’ my guide told me. And just opposite, from a Riverside inn, came the loud sing-song of tipsy voices in the popular drinking song, “One, two, empty your glass!” The contrast is the contrast of men and women of all time In the hour of danger—when there is no gun to take down from above the mantel, no government with the mandate to sound the assembly. Like these in the last moments of the Titanic, some stand at the bar and raise their glasses; others join in singing “Abide with me; The darkness deepens.’ Those who sing the hymns are conscious they may be singing them for the last time. They know, if the Russians come, the only hymns they may sing wil propagandists of the Kremlin. They are singing hymns out side my balcony window as I wrtie. Bare-headed gray-haired men, women in gay frocks, a girl with a white baby carriage, young men in light summer suits, perhaps 100 people who woul^ have stopped another day to listen to the band or a soapbox orator—though you don’t see those much in West Germany to day. The clang of the streetcars drowns out the words of the hymns. A black-haired young woman is leading the singing and the crowd -grows bigger every minute. Street musicians play hymns, too. The pfennings fall quicker in their caps than if they played jazz tunes. Those are out for now. The churches are crowded on Sundays, fuller than they have ever been sihce the war ended. These people have assessed their chances of physical salva tion if war comes to Western Europe. In Southern Germany, in the U. S. occupation zone, aU ways the most deeply religious half of the nation, men and wo men are putting' on spiritual armor. Those who can afford it are sending their children away to camps in the Black Forest for what they consider the critical months of August and Septem ber. The parallel with Korea may not be exxact near. But it is near enough to make a man be gin cpunting his estimated span of freedom. Hitherto, it Jias been a happy sun-kissed summer for West Germans—happy and sum- kissed like the summers of 1914 and of 1939. FARMS AND FOLKS Mr, and Mrs. W. C.

The tractor came quickly to many of our farms. Each year we see more of ’em and fewer mules. It didn’t take much intelligence or training to hold up a pair of plow handles, as the faithful mule plodded down the furrow. But when we go from there to the modern tractor and its machines in one jump, boy we are in a ( new and strange world for a while. To aid in this, 4-H is taking a firm hand. Eighteen counties now have 4- H tractor clubs. Clemson’s ex tension engirieers assist the coun ty agents with these. Tractor operation and maintenance are taught, with active tractors to work ^with. And some of them have held tractor driving con tests at the end of their course. These took the form of field days, with considerable audiences at places. Dealers cooperated in all of this. If all cows were like a register ed Hereford owned by W. H. Shiver of Lee county, it wouldn’t be long before a poor man could eat beef again. County Agent Bryant tells me that old “Bertha” has had and raised 14 calves since July 1941. That’s 14 calves in 9 years! She has had 5 single heifers, a single bull, twin heifers once, and bull and heifer twins 3 tim se.'All calves lived and all twin calves were born on Mon day,” says Bryant, and “some of her daughters have also given birth to twin calves.” There is some feeling among the experts that twinning might be an inherited trait. If so, Mr. Shiver has something in old “Bertha.” it, or if volunteer rye grass was there from previous seedivgs, it came along very fine on the good treatment put there for fescue. It makes earlier growth, and being an annual, makes a big seed crop the following spring. The fescue gets off a little slow er there and makes a light seed crop the first year anyway. But so overgrown by the rye grass, it makes very few seed heads there the first year, and the field just looks like 100 percent rye grass at harvest time. Hugh Woodle tells me “you’ve got to get down on your knees to straighten this- thing out.” He says if you will look close there now, since the rye grass has gone out for the summer, you will likely find your intended fescue there that you thought you didn’t have. Many farmers have combined fescue seed in recent weeks. May be you have a neighbor whose seed you know to have minimum of rye grass in it. The rye grass is not objectionable except you don’t care to pay fescue prices for it. In fact it’s very good stuff in its right place. — Watch For Opening ' Announcement of PROFESSIONAL DRUG STORE — -5 • Flowers and Gifts for All Occasions CARTER’S Day Phone 719 — Night 6212 Many cases have been re-J ported to Clemson again thirf year of where folks bought fescue seed and in * June they thought it had turned out to be all rye grass.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES JOHNSTONE SCHOOL DIS TRICT NO. 12 DROUGHT STRUCK County Agent Bull of Abbe ville says yields of reseeding crimson clover seed were off due to the spring drought. “Aver age yields will be less than 75 pounds to the acre,” he says, ‘and our highest was 275 pounds.’ And this condition was pretty general over the state. The same thing happened to the lespedeza, only more so. Drought so parched and burned the lespedeza out of many of our grain fields that it just simply is not there at all now. Yes, many a field was simply crying aloud for water that did not come the past spring. Crops were ruined, delayed, or hurt there, and the harvest was dwarfed. Irrigation is on its way to a good many of our fields that are near streams and ponds. BOYS ARE THAT "WAY Talking about that beef cow of Willie Shiver’s a While ago that has had all of those calves reminds me of a tale of boyhood he told me some years ago. On Sunday afternoon a bunch of them sneaked off down in the pasture to ride the cows, as usual. They had some great times down there, and had never found a yearling they couldn’t ride. But that afternoon one threw them as fast as they could get on it. One of the boys watching pro ceedings closely had a bright idea, or at least he thought it was. He noticed how the year ling threw its head down and its heels up to throw the rider. So he built his case on that. They got a sack and filled it half full of rocks. The idea was to lay that across the rump of the yearling to hold him down behind. They turned the year- ing loose. At the first leap, he kicked up behind, pitching that sack of rocks forward. It caught the boy across the back of the neck, adding to his mo mentum, as it ground, him into the dirt. The other boys thought it had killed him. But, 'after being a bit woozy for a while, he got the kink out of his neck and was soon all right. They all marked that up as a good idea that didn’t work. Memories, memories! It’s a wonder country boys ever sur vive. S.-i UPS AND DOWNS . Folks are having more ups and downs—last yearf^ elevators carried 30 times as many passengers as railroads.
