BUNDRICK-ALLEN
Miss Martha Melvina Bundrlck
and Ivy Franklin Allen, both of
Pomarla, were married March 22
at the home of the Rev. M. T.
Cullum, who officiated at the
double ring ceremony.
The bride and bridegroom en
tered together. The bride wore
a navy ensemble with w'hite ac
cessories.
Mrs. Allen is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James E. Bundrlck
of Pomaria. She is a graduate
of Pomaria High School and
Perry Business School. At pre
sent she is employed in Newber
ry.
Mr. Allen is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Eugene Allen of Po
maria. He attended the St.
Philips school and is now operat
ing a store near Pomaria.
Following a w'edding trip to
Silver Springs, Fla., the couple
will reside with the bride’s par
ents.
There are 200,000 forest fires
a year in the United States and
they burn and scar about 30 mil
lion acres. They take a heavy
toll of wildlife. Sometimes they
travel so fast they can outrun
even deer. Fish are suffocated
by stream pollution from ash
and debris, later from silt. Nests
and lair of the young are de
stroyed, grasses, nuts, seeds,
browse, berries, insects on which
wildlife feeds are gone. There
is no cover.
Facing a w'ar that can never
end, forest service forces have
prepared for the worst. They
have developed a scientific sys
tem of forest fire control that is
amazingly modern and increas
ingly successful. More and more
a puSh-button system, it is high
ly mechanized and air-minded.
You’ll see huge bulldozers up
rooting everything to gouge out
a firebreak; parachuting firemen
leaping from the sky with a
pack of emergency tools to
smack a blazze in time; helicop
ters landing firemen in “inac
cessible’’ places, doing recon
naissance and rescue; airplanes
speeding distant firemen and
their supplies; and finally the
latest recruit of the fire-eaters
—high pressure fog used for a
quick knockout of spot fires.
Fog puts out fires with amaz
ing speed. A well-developed blaze
is out in seconds. Fog is simply
water under high pressure*-6UU
pounds at the nozzle, which is
called the fog gun. Fog not only
cools a fire but smothers it with
a mass of steam. The terrific
force with which it is hurled
blasts out fires like you would
blow out a match. A little water
goes a long way in fog. For ex
ample, a few quarts are sufficient
to put out a fire engulfing a one-
rooin cabin completely ablaze.
Fog’s efficiency is rated 10
times that of water for putting
out fires, according to Harlan
Smith, a sportsman and outdoor
writer from the West. Fog
equipment costs under $600. It
is easily demounted from the
truck so it can be used for other
purposes during the off-fire sea
son. Tiie equipment can be made
to play a double role. It is easily
converted to a flame thrower
used to start fires—the often
indispensable backfire.
That’s the up-to-date business
of protecting your hunting
grounds, your recreation places,
your wildlife, and often your
water supply, from their great
est hazard—fir el

But Few Cars
Escape Taxes
An Associated Press dispatch
out of Columbia Wednesday re
vealed that 52,257 motor vehicles
are operating in the State with
out taxes being paid on them.
Nearly half the cars registered
in Oconee county, for instance,
escape taxation.
A tabulation accompanying the
article shows that-# 579 cars In
this county are not on the tax
books. Although this figure Is
much lower than In most count
ies, Auditor Pinckney N. Abrams
'-•ays that it is misleading. He ’
declared that there were very
few cars operating in Newberry,
which were not on his books. The
cars referred to In the table
can be accounted for according
to the auditor by cars in used
car lots and others which are In
process of sales and exchange be
tween individuals and which
transaction takes them off the
books for a time. A few cars
escape taxation, Mr. Abrams said,
when bought In other counties by
Newberry citizens and are not
reported here for taxation. The
Highway Department returns the
assessment information, which Is
a part of the application for
license, to the county In which
the car was sold and not neces
sarily to the county In which
the owner lives. In such cases
the auditors have to get the in
formation the best way they can.
By working closely with other
Auditors Mr. Abrams has been
able to get practically 100 per
cent on cars In this county on
his books,

THE WAY OF
CATS AND MAN
When a cat gets old and bis nose
la cold
And the arch in his back is gone.
He sleeps in the sun, for his play
is done;
He no longer creeps back at
dawn.
He blinks his old eyes—eyes that
are wise,
As the young Toms go astray.
But he .doesn’t lament that his
days are spent.
For that—that’s a Tomcat’s way.
BUT__ !
When a man gets old and his
blood runs cold.
And he hobbles aolng with a
cane.
He reads all the ads of the mon
key gland fads.
And longs for his youth—in vain.
He strolls down to the beaches
to watch all the peaches
As they splash in the water blue.
But he hasn’t a chance—the gals
won’t give him an glance—
But a man never knows when
he’s through.

TURKEY STEW
South Carolina cooks are fam
ous the world over. Not only
are t'hey noted for preparing out
standing dishes, but also for theic.
famous cook books and recipes
as well.
Liver Nips from the Dutch Fork
Section and Cooter Soup from
the Low Country are as much
part of South Carolina as the
lalm tree and yellow jassamine.
And now to this long list is
added another original
Carolina dish which has
origin Newberry County,
judging from the favor
which it is meeting it will i
rate up near the top of the
of already noted stews. This
new dish is called Turkey Stew
and anyone who has ever tested
it will vouch -for Its destiny. The
fact that it is so good makes one
want to overeat and so far as is
known, this Is the only score
against it. ' >
Turkey Stew came into ex
istence about four years ago by
a group of hungry fox hunters,
who had to have something to
eat. Herman Wise, local Game
Warden in Newberry. County,
served as cook for the occasion.
Mr. Wise, quite expert at culi
nary methods, up to this time had
been serving on such occasions
stews made of fish, squirrel and
chicken all of which have been
replaced by Turkey Stew.
Since serving it the first time
it has later been served at Pap*
ent-Teachers Association meet
ings; The Newberry County past
ure tour, at which approximately
400 farmers were fed; twice a
year at the Lions Club, who says
it’s a favorite; twice to the
South Carolina Turkey Federation
and to several other smaller
groups.
The recipe for Turkey Stew
calls for 20 pounds of turkey, cut
up. To this is added: Six pounds
of onions, cut up; and one and
half pounds of fat back, cut ftp.
Cook in water until turkey lea’
the bone—about 3 % hours. Then
add one bottle of Worcestershire
Sauce, one quart of tomato
one and a half jars of 15
size French Mustard, and one
a half pounds of butter.
This recipe will serve
twenty-five and thirty
from 50 to 60 cents per
sl stew.
