PURCELLS YOUR PRIVATE BANKER Phone 197 99 TALK PERSISTS ABOUT THE 51st (Anderson Independent, — Satur day, September 8). The 51st National Guard Divi sion, to which 12 units in the Anderson area are attached, may get active duty orders within the next few days, possibly to morrow, according to reports re ceived by the Independent’s News Bureau in Washington. Col Robert C. Ervin, executive officer at the National Guard Bu reau, Washington, told question ers yesterday that the bureau knew of no plans for activating the 51st Division, but sources familiar with Army procedures pointed out that the National Guard Bureau generally does not know what guard divisions are being called up until decisions have been made by General Mark Wayne Clark, commanding officer ground forces, Fort Monroe. Va. That six National Guard di visions will be called in the im mediate future appears almost a certainty. Lending color to the report that the 61st will be one of these is the fact that it is in a relatively high state of readiness. Its current strength stands at about 10,000 officers and men—about two-thirds full division strength — and this means it is one of the best manned of the nation’s National Guard divisions. In addition to its state of readiness, enhanced by the fact that only last month it complet ed two weeks of summer train ing at Fort Jackson, it was re ported in Washington that the division commander, Major Gen eral Sumter T. Lowry, of Jack sonville, has been urging the Army to call the outfit-to duty at the earliest possible moment. Two of the Slst’s three regi ments are South Carolina units. The division’s artillery units are located in Florida along with other components. REALTY DEALS NEWBERRY Lillie R.

FARMS AND FOLKS THAT NEW LOOK County Agent Cannon of Lan caster says his office has se^ cured one of those new electric dehorners. With it they are giving the offspring from their 4-H calf club heifers that new look. This is the dehorner that was developed at Clemson by Proessor J. P. LaMaster and is now being .widely used. Many of the cattle breeders in the state have gotten together, I understand, and agreed to de horn all of their calves. That protects them in the show ring against local horned cattle in case a Judge might still like horns. * It strikes me that this is a very sensible move. For those relics of the past, when cattle were wild and had to defend themselves against wild animals, are nothing but a dangerous nui sance now. The cow with them might not be mean at all. Bpt a toss of the head at flies can gouge an eye out when you or another cow are near. And many another animal has been inadver tently rammed by a horn as ^ cow was going in a stable the other animal coming And then in practically ev herd there is a mean cow two, who knows the power of her sharp horns, and she doesn’t fail to keep the others on the run and at a distance until fills up at the trough o*£ rack. And then we have really mean ones, specially balls. So, all in all, it’s good to see the horns go. And Professor * LaMaster has made a distinct contribution with his effective and bloodless dehorner. MRS. MARGARET FELLERS RITES HELD SUNDAY Mrs. Margaret Fellers, promi nent resident of Newberry, died at the Newberry County Memor ial Hospital Saturday after a long illness.

SEWING ART NOT LOST Betty ’ Kinard of \ Allen< made the, Easter outfits for all members of her rather la ily except her daddy.

And rrany other 4-H girls in the vai. i* counties are learning a lot more about the | useful art of sewing In their clubs too. m m BOYS ARE THAT WAY Boys seems to just go through that lazy age. Mine was rath- er extended. I can recall how it simply hurt me to work.. And I was pretty good at avoiding it. I hated to do Just about every thing except eat and play. Sweeping the yard was a chore I hated. It came so regularly. And ever so often we had to go to the woods and get brush brooms that we did the job It was a batch of dogwe— « sprouts tied together. With the leaves off, * that made a good yard broom. That job took the place of present-day lawn mowing. Then we had no lawns . Onr yard was hard red clay that always got in a mess* when it rained much. Sweeping that yard was ar duous. But carrying backets of water to wet streaks of it so we could slide our bicycle wh« on it was fun. One day when 1 had clean clothes on, my —„ slipped clear from under me and I made a print of my form on that slick red clay. And Ben could skate there with his bare feet. Once & sharp edge of a flint rock protrnded Juet a little, slit the bottom of his foot, and put an end to that. But, as lazy as we were when it came to doing aynthing that amounted to something, we all grew up to work enough to at least make an honest living, f So,| folks don’t despair of those teen age boys. They will likely get over that aversion to anything that looks like work. BIRTHDAYS Mrs. E. O. Shealy, Jane rick, daughter of Rev. and Louis Patrick, Charlotte, N. Sept. 16; Wilton Todd, C Mer.
