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

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.

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.”

A NEW CALENDAR
The last page from the calen
dar It seems I hung but yester
day Is about used up. 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

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.

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

Barnes conducted the games and
contests. Dancing followed the
games.
A salad plate, fruit cake, and
punch w r ere served buffet style
from a table, the decorations of
which accentuated the Yule
motif.
