THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C. M GOOD CITIZEN Principles of Good Citizenship Must Be Practiced in Own Home This is the last *f a series ef 10 articles from the booklet '‘Good Clt- Isob" published by The Amerlean Heritage Foundation concerning the rights and dntles of an American. The ninth promise of a good citi zen: I will practice and teach the principles of good citizenship right in my own home. Our country, when you come right down to it, is just a lot of families. In the family are cradled the cardinal virtues that enable good families to add up to a great nation— standards of conduct, r e - spect for the rights and property of others, loyal ty, health, tol erance. coop eration, self- reliance, good breeding and a sense of the fitness of things. By INEZ GERHARD A S»BY LEWIS appears regularly on four NBC shows—“Road of Life,” “Eternal Light,” “The Big Story” and “Storyteller’s Play house,” portrays cooks, crooks, young girls and old women with equal ease. She sometimes does two very different characters on ABBT LEWIS the same air show. Abby gives the credit for this ability to her father, who was a preacher and missionary in New Mexico when she was a child. She often tagged along on his missionary trips, and afterward im personated the people she’d met that day. “The Goldbergs,” which has al ready been on radio, television and the stage, and is now being made into a picture by Paramount, will crop up next as a novel. Gertrude Berg, its author and star, will write the book. "Infonnation Please,” granddad- dy of the quiz shows, might better have remained in retirement, if the programs heard since its return to the air are an indication of what we may expect. That painful, futile effort to be funny gets pretty tire some. In comparison with shows like NBC’s “Who Said That?” and American Broadcasting’s “Cliche Club” it comes out badly. - ' ■ ■ In principle, the family must be the keystone, the microcosm, the atom-that-can’t-be-split of our re public. Democracy must be based on homes where the interests of man, woman and child receive equal con sideration. Whether in a crowded rooming house or on the farm, / the answer must come from men and women of intelligence and good will who look on the successful maintenance of a family as one of the greatest acts of good citizenship. Just as democracy starts in the home as an obligation, it ends there as a reward. To the degree that all the other duties of citizenship have been fulfilled, your home will be your castle, secure from the threat of confiscation, and those in it safe from detention camps and firing squads. N • • • OTIS WIESE, editor of McCall’s Magazine, said in an article, “The home, we all agree, is the founda tion of the social structure. And women are the bed rock under that foundation. Any woman who achieves success as a mother has a more pervasive influence over the next generation than any cell of Communists. And her mother’s mite certainly outweighs in social, significance the manufacture of mil lions of can openers. “The home, in effect, is the trans mission belt of our culture, for it is there that the child learns its first lessons. It is the place where our social health is either insured or undermined insidiously . . .” • • • IN CONCLUDING this series of articles, one way to measure the results of our system is to add up our physical and cultural gains in everything from bathtubs to sym phony orchestras. Although it has only 6 per cent of the world’s popu lation and less than 6 per cent of the world’s land area, the United States has: Seventy-two per cent of the world's motor vehicles, one for every four people. 286,000 miles of paved roads. 231,481 places of worship, repre senting 55 religions or denomina tions. More than 61 per cent of the world’s telephones, one for every 4% people. 208,235 public schools, 1,720 col leges and universities — schools for nearly everybody. Forty-eight per cent of the 1 world’s radios, one for every 2% people. Ninety-two per cent of the world’s bathtubs, one for every six people. 6,511 public hospitals. Eighty-five per cent of the world’s commercial air traffic. 258,465 miles of railroad trackage, more than all Europe, including Russia in Asia. Sixty - four major museums of art, science and history. Twenty- three symphony orchestras. 650 music societies. 31,015,000 homes wired for elec tricity. 12,578 newspapers and magazines. Nearly 2,000 radio stations. Fifty million savings accounts; 200 million life insurance policies.

Between the great white house and the street was a wide expanse of lawn, and this lawn was at present occupied by a young man pushing a lawn- mower. Sandra didn’t know what to make of it. She r e m e m b e red that her mother and father were away for the week end and that the servants were in the rear of the house. By the time she had dressed and ventured outdoors, the young man had finished his mowing and was resting in the shade of the veranda. “Will you kindly explain what this is all about?” said Sandra. “I just mowed your lawn as it should be mowed.” “Should be mowed?” Sandra puckered up her brow. “What do you mean, ’should be mowed'? Who are you? And where is Rufus, our gardener?” “I’m Jerry Leonard. I bribed your gardener this morning to let me mow your lawn. You see, I have to drive by your house every morning on my way to work, and every morn ing I'Ve noticed that Rufus cuts the lawn unevenly.” “Well of all things!” “Besides, I’ve been wanting to meet you since last June.” “Meet me?” “Yes. My mother and I moved into the old Saunders place last June and, the day after, I saw you and decided I had to meet you. “I’ve been hoping yon’d speak to me for ever so long,” Sandra said, “but you gave the impres sion of being rather high hat.” I noticed your lawn and thought of the idea of bribing Rufus. It war like killing two birds With one stone.” He grinned. “I knew your father and mother were going to be away.” “Why, the very idea! I—I can’t believe you’re serious.” Jerry Leonard scratched his head. “I was never more serious in my life. Shucks! I’m sorry if you feel the way you look.” “The way I look!” Sandra began to wonder how she did look. A dozen retorts came to mind but they all seemed flat and inadequate, almost silly. She hesitated for an instant longer and then turned abruptly and strode back to the house. Jerry Leonard watched her go and into his face there came a look of disappointment. 3 - Minute Fiction BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Uncle Charlie s Luck Is Bad, Bandit Crosses Him Up By BILLY ROSE Last Friday night on the way home from his weekly pinochle session, my Uncle Charlie was held up a few blocks from his home on Alien Street and a wallet containing $13 was taken from him. This misadventure, strangely enough, has made my Aunt Frieda very happy, and with your leave and license, Td like to tell you why . . . v To begin with, to hear my uncle tell it, Frieda is crazy like a fox about most things, but when it comes to fortune telling and allied super stitions she’s crazy like a crazy. This, of course, in Charlie’s own words, “drives him to destruction,” particularly when my aunt shells out good money for such charms and amulets as lucky horse-tail hairs and pieces of string with seven magic knots. “I can’t understand,” I once heard him tell her, “how a distinct twenty - century 4 type ^ke you could potsky around with such superstitions.” “Century, schmen- tury,” Frieda an swered. “What was good enough by my grandm ot h e r is good enough by me.” “So why didn’t you marry your Billy Resa grandfather?” “So when I look at you, that’s who I’m thinking I married.** • • • THE MATTER CAME to a crisis last Friday when Charlie arrived home from the shop and Frieda asked him for 10 dollars. “Only last week I am giving you 16 dollars,” he exploded. “What you making, a down payment on a Cadillac?” “A catalogue I am not needing,” Frieda sassed back. “Today I am purchasing from a certain Gypsy a brass fish with the sign from Zoroaster which is absolute guar anteed to make a party healthy, wealthy and wise, and also rich.” Charlie examined the brass ob ject. “To me it looks like a tin herring,” he said. “Where is living this Gypsy?" "In tb* bach of a start on Suf folk strett, and her 1 am trust ing complete? said Frieda. "F’rmstanct, when Mrs. Festal* son was expecting, the Gypsy told bar to sew up the stuffed derma with black thread for a boy and white thread for a girl, and when she used the black, you saw what happened —a boy" “It occasional takes place,” said my uncle patiently, “that a boy comes in the world without black thread in the stuffed derma.” The upshot of the argument was a decision to put the magical fish to a practical test, and when Char lie went out that night for his week ly pinochle session, the good-luck charm was in his wallet. If he lost, it was agreed Frieda would stop patronizing Gypsy establishments; If he made a killing, however, he was to have more faith in her theories. WELL, AS IT turned out, my uncle won ten dollars which, added to the three he started out with, gave him a take-home total of thir teen. Reluctant to face gloating Frieda, he took a roundabout way home. A few doors from a drugstore on Rivington Street, a hoodlum step ped out of an alley and stuck him up. “Could you return, please, the pocketbook?” said Charlie “Is gen uine alligator leather.” “Scram,” said the hold-up man. “or I’Jl bust in your head.” “A pleasure,” said my uncle po litely. “Cherry-ho.” When Charlie got home, Frieda was considerably shaken by the story of the stick-up, and was forced to admit that the brass gee- gaw was a flop. But the next morn ing she gave my uncle the horse laugh when the mailman dropped off a small parcel with the wallet in it, its contents Intact. There was also an unsigned note. "Dear Mister — When l see you got the Fish of Zoroaster, I decide to send everything back because I have dealings with such fishes before and donft want no part of them. Besides, when l count up the money f find 13 dollars exactly. I know when I’m licked" “See?” said my aunt. “On ac count of the brass fish, everything is turning out hunky-totsy.” “Maybe,” said my uncle, “but to me it still smells from herring.” T HROUGHOUT the day Jerry was conscious of a forlorn misery. All his carefully formed plans had proved fruitless. At 5 o’clock he drove home via a route that did not take him past the Hunter estate. Leaving his coupe outside in the drive he entered the cottage by the rear door and found a note on the kitchen table, left there by hia mother, which advised him that she v had gone to a church supper and that if he didn’t want to come too hb’d find some warmed-over things in the oven. Jerry moodily ate the warmed- over things and afterward stepped outside to smoke a cigarette. He was about to ease himself comfort ably onto the doorstep when he chanced to glance toward the drive. He blinked, rubbed his eyes, swal lowed. “What the devil!” he said. As be approached, the girl who had been washing the auto mobile’s wheels straightened up and stood oft to survey her : work. It was Sandra Hunter. “What the dickens,” said Jerrv, “are you up to?” “Oh,” she said. “Hello.” She ges tured toward the coupe. “Dirty wheels. Been getting on my nerves for weeks.” “Wha—what?” said Jerry. ‘Tve noticed you driving by every day from my bedroom window. Rest of the car looks fine, but you always seem to forget the wheels. Very an noying.” * Jerry puckered up his brow. Ha peered at the girl very Intently. His face was grave. He said. “Is that all?” “No,” said Sandra. ‘Tve been hoping you’d speak to non for ever so long, but you gave thf impression of being well, rather high hat. This seemed like a logical method to promote friendly relations,” she grinned. “You see, I knew your mother was away.” Egg Profits Down During Hot Months Poultrymen Recommend Close Culling of Flock On the average, poultrymen fail to realize a profit above feed costs during July, August and September because of low egg production per hen. For example, during this pe riod in 1949, the average monthly production per hen for the United States was 13.2 eggs. As a rule, poultrymen who maintain an aver- Poor layers and culls show Uttie activity and are often found on the roost during the day. age egg production per month of 15 or more eggs during this period, realize a profit. When the profit margin gets slim, it’s poor business to cut down on the laying mash, or take it away en tirely, with the expectation of bring ing the hens back into production later when egg prices pick up. The solution to the problem of increas ing profits requires close culling of flocks. Get rid of the “boarders”. Poor layers, as well as non-lay ers, can be spotted by certain phy sical characteristics, such as “crow heads,” pale, shriveled, sdaly combs, yellow beaks, yellow legs and clean feathers. A good layer will, have large red comb and wat tles; an enlarged, smooth, moist vent; and well spread, pliable pin bones. Poultrymen who start culling now will increase profits. Cull often and closely and sell the culls while they still have good body weight Then feed the remainder of the flock a good laying ration. Scientists Conclude *Calf Parasite Study A study of the parasite infestation of calves on pasture has led C. D. Grinnels and J. L. Moore of North- Carolina Jo three main conclusions: (1) calves udder ten months of age should not be turned on pasture; (2) calf pastures should be rotated to reduce the parasite intake; and (3) calf pastures should be grazed part of the time by horses, mules or by mature cattle. Parasite populations build up very rapidly on calf pastures, the Inves tigators found. The increase was most rapid on heavily grazed plots, these showing almost double the parasite population as the lightly grazed plot. Calves under ten months are ex tremely susceptible to parasite at tack. Rotating pastures and grazing them with mature animals cuts down the population. Mature cattle have an age immunity. Packers throughout the coun try are reporting damage, run ning Into millions of dollars, from the mix shipment of cattle and bogs.

Feed Grinding For Small Pigs Is Not Economical Dick Carlisle, livestock special!# in the Illinois College of .Agriculture reports that pigs under 150 pound: chew their food so well that farmen seldom save enough feed by grind ing to pay for the cost of grinding. But for hogs above 150 pounds grinding will save about five per cent of the corn. If the cost at grind Ing 100 pounds is less than the valui at five pounds, it pays to grind fa hogs over 150 pounds.
