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

Mrs. Callle E. Dreher of Lees-
ville gave a reception last Friday
afternoon, honoring her aunt,

(Mrs. John Stockman), who was
celebrating a birthday. The
guests were the members of the
three circles of the Missionary
Society of Grace Church, which
met that afternoon.
The reception, a surprise for
the honoree, was held at the
home of Mrs. Stockman. When
she returned from, her circle
meeting everything was In read
iness for the Teception.
Assisting Mrs. Dreher In en
tertaining and serving were Mrs.
C. K. Wheeler, Mrs. W. B. Ack
erman, Mrs. William Lester, Mrs.
J. P. Perry and Mrs. W. L. Kin-
ard; all of Prosperity
From a prettily appointed table
In the reception hall punch was

wiches, potato chips, . cheese
crackers, olives, pickles, indivi
dual cakes, mints, and nuts were

saw us eating. 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.

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
Saturday guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Hunter L. Fellers were
Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Merritt and
their two children, Gayle and
Eddie of Shelby, N. C.
Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Callahan
of Columbia, were weekend
guests of Mrs. Callahan’s mother,
Mrs. P. C. Singley.
Mrs. Corrie McWaters of Co
lumbia spent Sunday with her
daughter, Mrs. H. E. Counts,
Sr. and family.
maintenance men reached the
tank, stranded in enemy territory,
and found several infantrymen
dug in guarding it. the tank’s
crew manning the guns.
“We worked for more than
four hours but couldn’t finish be
cause eur jack broke/’ Corporal
Brown explained. 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.
