CHIN WHISKERS At the Orange Bowl banquet here at Clemson recently, I heard Professor Lane refer to Florida as “The chin whiskers of the United States.’’ I thought that pretty good. And they do get a lot of the gravy down there. TODAY OUTDOORS The silent symphony of spring! My how it is playing now! It is good to be alive and abroad in the land today. From winter’s bleak desolation, life is springing from earth again. Bare woods have come forth in leaf and flower. The field has seen the plow return. The meadow has grown deep with grass. Then hen cackles in the yard, and all things have paired off again. The hand of husban dry hardens with toil, and hope grows for the harvest. I specially like it along the byways now. Father and son are in the field. Mother and daugh ter are in the garden, or tending the new-hatched flocks in the yard. Smoke has gone from the chimney, and spring flows in at the windows. Soon it will be camp time for the youngsters. A glorious week will be spent by many at Clem- son’s 4-H camps. Cooper and Long. And mother and father will be arranging for Farmers’ Week at Clemson during lay by time, August 13-17. On and on the season rolls to the harvest. AGENTS AID County Agent Shelleys office in Barnwell has been busier than usual since the atomic energy plant was announced for that area. He keeps an up-to-date list of those who want various types of farms to move to from the area. And also a list of offerings of such lands outside of the area. These are mailed to interested parties weekly and given out to callers at the office. Through this clearing house, many of those who must move have been resettled. Some are moving to Georgia and other sections of South Carolina, while many are finding locations nearer by. NEW LAND I saw a giant tractor with a 6.800-pound harrow putting the finishing touches to 40 acres of very fine new' land on J. J. Judy’s farm in Orangeburg when I w’as there with County Agent Mc- Comb back in the winter. The bulldozer had cleared it of big swamp growth and that harrow was fitting it for seeding to grass. Several thousand such fertile acres have been cleared by the two outfits that the county bought and which are operated under a commission of farmers, with McComb as secretary. They charge $11 per hour each, and McComb says it looks like they will pay for themselves all right. PROSPERITY PEPPER IN ANDERSON County Agent Hopkins tells me they are going strong for pimen to peppers in Anderson. ' Last year they tried this new crop out with a trial planting of 260 acres scattered about on many farms. They liked it and are extendin 0, the acreage on these and other farms this year. So now they are growing 1,200 acres on contract. FREE MEN I read that we have 7 percent of the earth’s surface in these United States and 6% percent of the people. That looks like a mighty little of the area and very few of the folks to do what we have. Per secuted, crowded, harassed hu man beings of the old world have showed what they could do if given a chance under the right influences. Freedom of body, mind, ^nd soul has created the man-made miracle of the ages that we find in this ^ittle strip of land that our country occupies. More of the good things of earth than all the rest of the world! Yet the lousy radical would raise his voice in our midst. . A free mind in our free institu tions,our experiment stations for the farms and great laboratories for industry, these help build our greatness! BOYS ARE THAT WAY A penny had real meaning when I was a kid. It could buy a fairly sizable batch of candy at our crossroads store. And a nickel looked like • a cart wheel. We didn’t often have one of them. Eggs were a cent a piece, and we often took one to the store and traded it for candy. But there w'as a time when we saw' a bit of affluence. That was when our cousin from the city came. Instead of having an oc casional penny or egg to spend, he had dimes and quarters! Our store was two miles across the woods at White Rock. In the middle of the long summer after noons he and I would steal off with Vienna sausage on our minds. At the store he would have them open up a can of sausage a few large sweet crack ers, and two soft drinks that were cooled in fresh water from the well. And there on the counter we feasted, the envy of every other barefooted youngster that happened to come in from the stone hills. He was a rather finicky eater, but I wasn’t. So I cleaned up all that was left. Cousin Ed came in one day and Flowers and Gifts for All Occasions CARTER’S Day Phone 715 — Night 6212 is for AUTO LOANS At rates that Appeal!

After having seen me take a big dinner Just two hours before, he asked me where I put it all. Said it must go down into my feet, as they were about the biggest things about me. I liked that, for it sounded big, like a man, to eat a lot. Next week I will tell you about what happened on the way back home one day. The general theme of the ban quet was Treasure Island. Pine and palm trees, artifical stars hung from the beams of the ceiling, and a moon suggested a typical island setting. Spot lights on the stars and moon made a lovely glow for the scene. One side* of the gymnasium repre sented a sand beach even to the shells. Lying on the beach was a canoe. A cave in one corner revealed, by means of a spotlight, a treasure chest In which glisten ed jewels and coins. The table setting, place cards and memory books accented the pirate idea. The favors were pirate ships filled with mints. Candles in rustic holders were used on the tables. The guests had to walk a gang plank to enter the gymnasium. The menu consisted of spyglass (tomato juice). Roast of Parrott (turkey). Treasure Island (dress ing with giblet gravy), Jade Jewels (string beans). Pirates Seal (Cranberry sauce), Golden Nuggets (buttered rolls), Pilate’s nolson (Icedtea), Gold Coast (peach shortcake), Chest of Gems (nuts). The program also suggested the pirate idea. The waitres and waitresses were dressed as pirates and pirettes. The William Lester Chapter of the U. D. C. will meet Friday, at S:30 at the home of Mrs. John Stockman.

CPL. BROWN TELL OF EXPERIENCE IN KOREA Keeping tanks in combat trim is the job of Corporal Elmuria Brown, son of Mrs. Mattie L. Brown of Prosperity. He is a member of a tank maintenance team of tne 65th Infantry Regi ment. “Sometimes we have to go into enemy territory to repair tanks that don’t need much work on them,” Brown stated. Brown served with the 769th Engineers in the Pacific and is a veteran of more than six years service. “During a recent battle along the Han River we had a radio message from a tank that had thrown a tread, so we went out to fix it,” Brown stated.

The tank crew removed the radio, all machine the 76 MM gun and locked up the tank. “We all started back to the rear and as we rounded a curve in the road we found ourselves looking straight into^ the muzzles of two of our own regiment’s tanks,” stated Brown. “They had been told there were no friendly troops out front end to shoot anything that moved.” “We heard one of the breech- locks slam home and we didn't waste any time yelling that we were Americans,’ said Brow^gj “So after they checked us they let us through.” The following morning the maintenance crew and tankmen returned to the tank and found it intact, checked it for booby traps and completed repairs. “You don’t worry so much out there in the open,” Corporal Brown said, “but it’s a terrible feeling to look into the muzzle of your own tanks.
