Turner JEWELER FROM A READER A few weeks ago I wrote some thing in the other column about hating to see the shade trees go from the streets of our small towns in the name of progress. A reader from Sumter wrote, commending what was said. And she contributed this gem: “I can’t concede that the destruc tion of things of proved value Is ‘progress.’ To me it is more truly characterized as vandalism, for I think true progress includes wise conservation.” Rant as we tree-lovers will, great and beautiful shade trees continue to go from the once cool shaded lanes of our small towns. Just the other day I stop ped in a familiar mid-state town of perhaps 2,000. I asked for the tree that had often lent me itd shade to park under on hot sum mer days. I couldn’t even tell where it had been. So my car parched there on the inhumanly hot pavement while I ran my er rands. And when I came back it was an inferno, fit only for one who had been condemned to the lower regions. They often go to make way fox’ power and telephone lines. Why couldn’t these run from the cen ter of the blocks rather than from the fronts. In some towns they are that way. Then they only have to cross the streets, not run right along the side walks where shade trees belong. LOOKOUT BOYS Three girls were on county 4-R dairy judging teams in the state this year. All three of them were among the high scorers that won the trip to Clemson to com pete in the state contest. HOLSTEINS TOO Our Holstein cattle breeders now have an association In South Carolina. J. A. Shirley of Ander son is president, V. W. Hayes of Greenwood is vice president, and Clemson’s C. G. Cushman is secretary. They recently had a series of “twilight meetings” over the state that were attend ed by far more farmers than now have Holsteins, indicating the growing interest we have in dairying. The meeting in Green wood at the L. C. Patton farm was attended by a half hundred interested folks, according to County Agent arvin. BEAUTY BY THE ROAD Just below Walterboro is a new outdoor theater. The back of the screen faces the highway. It is not the unsightly scaffold ing we usually see. No. It has been made into a thing of beauty. The back of that screen was boarded up. And on those boards is painted one of Carew Rice’s wonderfully realistic Low Country silhouettes. In fact, it is of such beauty as to cause the motorist to slow up and admire. Thus an unsightly backstage has been made a thing of beatuy, and the whole countryside there Is made the richer. And quite a good job was done in project ing the matchless art of Carew Rice there in seven-league pro portion. Folks, Mr. Rice, you know, is one of our very own living at his ancestral home at Wiggins, down in Colleton. He is the son of the late noted naturalist, James Henry Rice. His art is worthy of wide adaptation to which that theater at Walter boro has put It. BLACK RYE A new rye on me Is the Flor ida Black Rye that County Agent Shelley was telling me about their growing in Barnwell. Ho said it did well there, has a very small seed, and was all grown on contract for a Florida seedsman. They produced 4,000 bushels of It in Barnwell, and found it to be a profitable crop. 75 TO 1 And here’s another one from Shelley at Barnwell. C. D. Still there- planted one bushel of Marett’s Anderson oat on one acre and harvested 75 bushels the past June. BOYS ARE THAT WAY One of the greatest of early treats was ice cream. I was up some size before we started mak ing it. At first it was made in a one-gallon friction top tin buck et, the first time we ever got such a bucket. Karo molasses came in it after our homemade sorghum had given out in mid summer. We used the water bucket for the ice, and jusi TAX NOTICE The tax books will be open for the collection of 1950 taexs on and after October 2, 1950.

We kids would sit around eat ing ice while the cream was being frozen. If all of the ice had been put In the freezer, we continued eating it, despite the salt. It seemed to us that the freez ing process wou)d ever finish. But at long last it always did. Then we sat on the back steps there, each with spoon in hand. We kids were prone to eat it too fast, and shooting pains would hit us above the eyes. The first time that happened I was rather small. It scared me, and I cried. But there was always the impulse to eat it too fast for two reasons. It was just so good we couldn’t hardly help it. And then we wanted to get through Aii8 have our saucer filled again before it was all gone. Country boys! My how they can eat! Our folks used to say they knew the stuff we ate must go plumb down into our feet, as our stomachs couldn’t possibly hold that much. Convention which meets in RUh- mond. Va, in November. Mrs. S. A.
