FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3.0, 1950 THE NEWBERRY SUN »■>' !■ Bp 7W Ksstmg Picking t&ckle to suit the angler, if he’s beyond the novice stage, is a pretty tricky matter. If the purchaser isn’t an angler, he or she is more than likely to buy something expensive and pretty, but completely useless to the recipient. With a little in genuity you can discover what will please him. Here are a few general suggestions from Jason Lucas Rods—strangely, with every thing else sky-high now, never before were there such good values in rods—fly, casting or spinning. There are many dis tinct varieties of rods, even in fly rods alone, each technically suited to some certain purpose, or at least to the user’s firm be lief as to what’s suited for that purpose. Just buying somebody a rod would be like buying him a pair of shoes without knowing the size he w r ears. Find out what he wants. Reels—In reels, too. never were there such good values. Believe it or not, $5 will now Flowers and Gifts for All Occasions C A R T E R’S Day Phone 719 — Night 6212 NEWBERRY 7 Federal Savings AND LOAN ASSOCIATION OF NEWBERRY J. K. Willingham, Sec’y Newberry, S. C. buy a casting reel that will cast much better and ‘ more smoothly than the $50 reel of a generation ago. However, there are also some very poor casting reels on the market now. Better stick to the product of a maker known to be reliable. But this same ad vice goes for all articles of tackle. Tackle making is a high ly specialized business calling for accurate technical knowledge of its minute points. Lines—Find out what sort of casting or spinning line the per son uses, and get him a new one' like it; he probably won’t want to change. Don’t give anybody a cheap fly line. The line must be of the right size to fit his rod or it’s completely useless. Other things — Waders? Be sure to get them long enough in the legs, so they’ll be baggy and wrinkled as he walks around. Trout creel? Only recently avail able, so his old one may be pret ty much of a wreck. Wading jacket- See that it has plenty of pockets. Tackle box? The big ger the better. Fly boxes? Lots of nice ones are made now. FARMS 11TH SON BORN TO ANDERSON COUPLE David Earle Shiflett, nine-pound infant born Tuesday at Anderson Memorial Hospital, is the 11th son of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Shif lett, 304 Boyce street. They have no daughters. The father, a textile worker at Gluck Mill, was calm when a nurse emerged from the delivery room to herald the new r s. But be fore she had time to speak, Mr. Shiflett said: “I know' it’s a boy; it couldn’t be anything else.” The nurse confirmed that he was father of another son. Mrs. Shiflett was pleased. After she was taken to her room and a nurse brought in the baby for the parents to see, Mrs. Shiflett re marked: “I’m glad it’s another boy. I fear a girl would be spoiled with so many brothers.” AND FOLKS PECANS—PECANS—PECANS — We are buying pecans every day—any amount — any size— Bring them to our warehouse— and get best market prices— R.

In a few. days now I will throw It away and hang a nice new one up there on that nail. My, how time rolls on in re lentless flight! The more calendars we have hung, the faster they seem to 8 Years ago \it seemed a cal endar would last forever. And it got all yellowed with age and fly-specked before its time ran out. But not so now. The one I will soon take down is in about as good shape as when I hung it there, but for the loss of 11 of its layers. Yes, the years drags on through childhood. And we could hardly remember from one Christmas to the next. But now you hardly get your Christmas necktie soiled at the neck before old Santa is knocking at the door again. . . . And when your hair starts to gray and fall out, how it witheis under the persistent years! Soon youth is gone, we have sailed through middle age, and find our selves with the shadows length ening fast. If someone could work out a scheme to make that calendar last longer, most of us would sure like it. AN IDEA Watermelons are expanding rapidly in the Chesterfield area. The problem now is new land, as they require about a six- year rotation on account of blight. Dr. Poole, president of Clem- son, was telling me of a plan he had heard of. The melon grow er agreed to rent the land for n dollar per acre for the year. He will clear the scrub oak from it and plant it to melon. At the end of the year it reverts to the owner. Then It is ready for cultivation or, better yet, pine trees. Young pines just thrive there among those scrub oaks. And the coat of getting rid of the oaks easily and economical ly enough to just plant trees there hasn’t been successfully worked out yet. The above plan might offer a way of getting a lot of the vast scrub oak back Into pines, from whence they came years ago. A good crop of Miss Josie Rinehart and Mr. Joe Henry Black, both of Saluda county, were married Saturday afterqpon, December 23, at the home of the Rev. J. B. Harmon. D.D. The double ring ceremony was used. Accompanying the couple were Mrs. Ellie Hubert Long and Frazier Riley. Mrs. Black wore a nut brown suit, dark brown accessories, and an orchid corsarge. She Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D. Rinehart of the Hollywood community, Saluda county. She is a graduate of the Saluda High School. Mr. Black is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur E. Black of the Corinth community in Saluda, county. He attended Chicora High School in Charleston. Both Mr. and Mrs. Black are employed at the Palmetto Hos iery Mill in Saluda. After a wedding trip to Florida the couple will live with the groom's parents. The members of the Junior and senior classes of the Prosperity School were given a Christmas party, Friday .evening, December 22, at the Community Hall by their Grade mothers, Mrs. Gur- don W. Counts, Mrs. Dove Con nelly, Mrs. Jake Long, Mrs. A. P. Pugh r Mrs. W. H. Leaphart, Mrs. Ray Stockman, and Mrs. P. E. Wise. Trees, holly, and other Christ mas symbols were used in the hall decorations. The center decoration was a large table con taining the punch bowl and trays of cookies. Charles Dawkins, Jimmy Barn es, and Miss Phyllis Wise had charge of the recreation. After the games and contests the Christmas story .was given and the group joined' in the singing of Christmas carols. melons on that clean land mij|h i, am make their clearing feasible then they would be Just in fine shape for pines. And talking about pines, many of the county agents, ag. teach ers, and forestry folks are now working together on tree-planting demonstrations for those who are securing pines for planting this winter. The ones who are to actually, do the work of set ting them should see these dem onstrations. In recent years we have been getting more pines to live. And this is largely because of these demonstrations tnat show folks how to set them. IT WORKED The 1960 cotton crop in this country was only 2.3 pounds per acre under the previous 10-year average. But the acreage was away down. While the Far West was mak ing its greatest yield, we were making one of our lowest. For the past 10 years Virginia had averaged 378 pounds of lint per acre. In 1960 they made a dis astrous 96 pounds per acre. For 10 years North Carolina had averaged 373 pounds of lint. In 1960 they harvested a have 147 pounds per acre. Let’s get home now. For the past 10 years South Carolina averaged 321 pounds of lint per acre. We saw a grave weevil threat. The greatest fight on record was staged the past sea son. We came up with a yield of 228 pounds per acre, accord ing to the November estimate. I think all will agree that our intensive poisoning campaign saved us from a rather complete cotton disaster, such as our two sister states to the north, suf fered where little poisoning, was The acreages poisoned right really made cotton here. County Agent Hopkins of Anderson told me that 26 percent of their acre age made 76 percent of their cot ton. And that was the’ acreage that was poisoned right clear through. It costs to poison. But why go to the other expenses of making the crop and neglect the one that insured the harvest. BOYS ARE THAT WAY We had preaching at our church in the stone hills of the Dutch Fork every fourth Sunday morning, preceded by Sunday school. And then just Sunday school on second Sundays. The men didn’t go to Sunday School. But on fourth Suhday they brought the rest .of the fam ily for that, while they sat out under the trees chewing tobacco, whittling, and talking. Most of ‘em squatted on their haunches or sat on an exposed oak root there in the bare yard. And oc casionally there was a don’t-care one that would sit on the ground with his Sunday pants on. I thought he was very indiscreet and a bit reckless. I was always so self-conscious when I had on my Sunday clothes that I would n’t have dared do that. That was their greatest social hour. They talked mostly about the condi-1 tion of the crops and the price of cotton. As a kid, I envied them their privilege. While they enjoyed fellowship and cool shade, we suffered Inside with burning feet and dodged red wasps that always inhabited our church. 1 would see the wasp crawling on ceiling or window. And that made me restless and inattentive. For I knew they wouldn’t stay there long. Soon they would be zoom ing about, and I had a horror of one of those stinging things lighting on me when I wasn’t watching. Between all of the distractions of burning feet, watching the wasp, and envying the men on the outside, 1 aiu sure that such interest as I showed did anything but inspire the teacher. I long ed for the time that I could grow up and sit out there wUh the men under the shade of the trees, whittle, listen, and pull my shoes off," if they continued to hurt a man as they always did us kids. Kids that went barefooted from frost to frost should never have been tortured with shoes on for church. I am sure we would have been on the lesson rather than on tortured feet. Punch and cookies were served throughout the evening. 1 Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Barnes en tertained at the Canteen Monday evening, December 18, honoring their son, Robert, on his eigh teenth birthday.
