ONE GREASE FOR ALL Lubrication lobs. With just one grease, Sinclair Litholine, you can lubricate chassis, wheel bearings, water pumps, universal joints... of your car, truck or tractor ... winter or summer. Farmers find it does a better job at each lubrication point than the ’’specialized” greases they formerly used. FARM ADVANTAGES at-a-g!aiice: 1. ( A finer grease at every point. 2. Less danger of applying the wrong grease. 3. Quicker greasing operations. 4. Smaller grease stocks —.one instead of 3 or 4. 5. Fewer grease guns. 4. Less waste. W« d*Urf dinct to farms.

Soil Conservation Service tech nicians are continuing their ef forts to assist farmers in getting vegetation established in natural draws where water from terraces are to be emptied, E. E. Epting, SCS technician, said yesterday. Mr. Epting pointed out that this action should be taken so that vegetation would be well established before terraces are constructed. “In cases where terrace water can be emptied into a wooded area or into a draw already well covered with perennial legumes and grasses, farmers will not have to take these steps. In other cases they should establish stands of sericea, fescue, or* some other perennial vegetation this spring in order to have the field ready for terracing next year,” Mr. Epting said. __ “The new rule is based on re search and the Service’s experi ence with terracing which has proved the difficulty of establish ing stands of vegetation where water is emptied into bare areas.” Mr. Epting explained that the new procedure is not aimed at discontinuing terraces “but is intended to strengthen our water disposal systems, decrease eros ion and provide for a more per manent type of agriculture for our crop land.” Girl Scouts Of Troop Two Elevated To Sr. Rank At Ceremony On March 12th, the birthday of all the Girl Scouts in Ameri ca, Troop 2 of the Newberry County Girl Scout Council held a graduation ceremony. Being 14 years old, and having been Intermediate Scouts for 4 years, they felt that they were ready to become Seniors. At least 9 or 10 of them are Curved Bar Scouts and most all are First Class. They invited their moth ers and fathers, Mrs. Frazier Lominack, President of Council and Mrs. William Buford, Pub lic Relations Chairman, to join them. A friendship horseshoe was formed while the girls sang “Girl Scouts Together,” Sidelle Crooks accompanying the group at the piano. Lugenia Martin, Secretary of the Troop, led the audience and troop members in the Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag. Eleanor Ridgeway, Presi dent, and Sarah Anne Nichols, Vice-President, explained the pur pose of the Senior ceremony, stressing the fact that the Girl Scout Laws underlie the Senior Program just as they have thd Intermediates. The treasurer, Molly Partridge, lighted the first cake. These represented the Girl Scout Promise. Sidelle Crooks explained that the remaining 10 candles represented the Girl Scout Laws. The girls repeated these laws as they lighted the candles. As it was Letitia Haltiwanger's birthday, she blew out the candles. Mrs. W. J. Martin, assistant leader, tpld the group that the girls had passed the five require ments to become Senior Scouts. She and. (Mrs. French, leader of the troop, awarded the Senior Pins. After - calling attention to the great privilege Americans enjoy living in this great free land and asking the girls and their visitors to strive to strengthen and uphold this herit age, Mrs. French asked all to join in singing the chorus of “God Bless America;" Irvin Berlin gave this song to the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts because they seemed to him to be the most non-partisan, non-sectarian, non- racial groups in America. A delightful social hour fol lowed. Troop 2 wishes to take this opportunity to thank their mothers for providing the re freshments for this very im portant event in their lives. Public Relations For Busmess To Be Added Course Newberry College,- in its catar log for the 1952-63 session, re cently issued, offers for the first time beginning next September a course which, it is believed, is offered *by few colleges In this section of the country. The course is entitled “Public Re lations for Business” and is in cluded as one of the requirements in the four-year course in Per sonnel Management announced by that institution last year. The college has long been aware of the rapidly growing in dustrial development of the South and realize the Increasing need for a group of young people from this section who are trained to carry on this development. On the basis of this need, the college last year enlarged its Department of Commerce and Business Administration and, in combination with courses offered in other departments, especially in the fields of English, Sociology and Psychology, it announced an additional four-year course lead ing to a degree in Personnel Management/ in addition to its regular degree in Commerce. In dustry in this section has felt the need for such training, since the increasing size of the in : dustrial .units has created a de mand for men and women trained in the proper methods of hand ling personnel problems, and it is especially desirable that this need be met by men and women from this section of the country. This new course, “Public Re lations for Business,” has now been added as an essential part of this training, since business more and more Is realizing the necessity of developing and main taining a favorable attitude on the part of the general public to ward its activities. The course will be taught by Mr. C. A. Kaufmann, at present Assistant to the President and Director of Public Relations for the college. Mr. Kaufmann has had wide training in this field and brings to the course not only the background and training necessary but a large amount of practical experience.

SOUTH CAROLINA RESEARCH, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD Fort HIM on Clemson College campus. The plantation was the Home of John C CaRtoun, and of Thomas G. Clemson, who granted the land to the state for an agricultural college. FORT HILL, CLEMSON COLLEGE Fort Hill in Clemson College was the home of John C. Calhoun. The home was built originally in 1803 by the Reverend James Mcllheeny, pastor of the Old Stone Church, and called Clergy Hall. After the minister's death, the home was added to the estate of Mrs. Calhoun’s father. In 1825, Calhoun brought his family to live on the old planta tion, and renamed the home Fort Hill, to commemorate a poet built in 1776. Calhoun lived there until his death in 1850. In 1838, Thomas G. Clemson mar ried Calhoun’s daughter, who in herited Fort HilL Clemson granted the plantation and all the land around it to the state for the pur pose of founding an agricultural and mechanical schcoL In 1889, Clemson College was founded. In the plantation house are several interesting old pieces, some original and some reproductions. One origi- ^ThbkMo.1 nal mahogany sideboard was made from pieces of the frigate “Consti tution,” famous in the War of 1812. This sideboard was presented to Henry Clay and he m turn pre sented it to Calhoun after the latter's speech in defense of the Federal Constitution. On the grounds are a few trees which were presented to John C. Calhoun by famous men. Stephen Decatur brought a varnish tree to Calhoun from Madagascar; Daniel Webster, the great orator, gave Calhoun a hemlock from his home state; and an arbor vitae in the grove is from Hemw Clay. The cedars were planted by the family in hopes of warding off the deadly miasma—the vapor that supposedly brought malaria up fromtheswampa. On the grounds nearby is an inter esting little separate building, Cal houn’s study, where he did much of his work. wSh BmNi CanRao ‘Hot Rod’ Drivers Said Small Part Of Safety Problem. Columbia—“Hot-rod cars in the hands of teen-age drivers, how ever fearsome they may seem in the news, are really a small part of the safety problem affecting our high school and college youngsters,” according to Robert F. Pulliam, Chairman of the S. C. Automobile Dealers Associa tion’s Public Relations Commit tee. More disturbing are the young sters who, usually through no fault of their own, turn up in the greater part of the accident statistics — with three to five times as many high school age drivers involved in accidents than- their elders. Youngsters like your own. » Traffic safety- rules are taught in some elementary schools. More and more high schools are adding driver - training courses. Students in them get actual “be- hind-the wheel” experience in good driving practices, as well as classroom training in safety rules. Mr. Pulliam reminds parents that they have a responsibility, too. They’re often unknowingly contributing cause^ that not even the best teaching can eliminate. Experts assert that safe driving i begins at home. And that doesn’t mean merely parental teaching and cautions. It means precau tions. An alarming proportion of ac cidents are caused by mechanical failure growing out of neglect of automobiles, preventable by simple foresight and care. “A parent has an extra respon sibility when he lets his son or daughter take the family car,” Mr. Pulliam says. “It involves simply being sure that the car is in top-notch mechanical condi tion.” Accidents, he points -out, can often be traced to such neglected causes as faulty brakes, burnt-out lights, motor failure, cracked windshields that hamper vision, poor wheel alignment, and similar conditions. These are not the fault of the automobile itself. Cars are not built with such flaws in them. They must be watched for and corrected as a Deed Transfers Newberry No. 1 Joseph P. Salley to Mary S.

You owe it to your children and your com munity—and your own peace of mind—to be sure your car is in safe driving condition.” WATCH AND JEWELRY REPAIRS BROADUS LIPSCOMB WATCHMAKER 2309 Johnstone Street For Expert Repair Bring Your Radio and Television GEO.
