I REMEMBER”:
BY IKS OLD TIMERS
From Kay McIntosh, Montrose,
Mich.: I remember the many nice
things at Grandma’s house, such as
the big, black Dutch oven that stood
on three legs on the hearth, filled
with sweet potatoes baked to a
turn, soft and sweet and good eat
ing on winter evenings. I remember
the small “pattie” of beo’s wax on
the ironing board to smooth Grand
ma’s iron fresh-hot from the kitch
en range top.
From Mrs. W. T. Cox, Big Lake.
Texas: I remember when a pinch
of this, a pinch of that and a dash
of something else made the best
apple pie you ever ate. Cooking
schools and exact recipes didn’t
interfere with a woman’s natural
knack for cooking. Women had the
feel for mixing things.
From Mrs. Mary Roth Bonsall, Par
shall, N.D.: I remember when a
child the great events we looked
forward to. Once a year Mother
took us four children on a pleasure
boat excursion down the river and
back—these are known as show
boats today. On the Fourth of July
she piled us in a springy buggy and
we drove to town to celebrate. In
the fall, we attended the old sol
diers' reunion.
%
From Mrs. Christ Karcenickaias
Perryville,' Mo.: Well I remem
ber as a little girl I attended Sun
day school with my four sisters
As we had only one pair of Sunday
shoes a year, we walked barefoot
ed to church and back all summer
carrying our shoes to keep them
clean, wearing them only when in
the church.
From the Old Cuss, Chicago: 1 re
member the bathing beauties of
Mack Sennett days. Their swim
suits would keep a modern gal a-
;3 warm as a mink coa 1 ., they were S(
capacious. Modern gals’ swim suiU
keep the men warm, except me—
T ’m too old.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
1212 MAIN ST.
PHONE 610
Last week we were * talking
about half-soling our own shoes
in the Stone Hills when I was
a boy. And there was something
else we half-soled too. That was
the seat of our pants.
Our clothes were mostly made
of tough jeans cloth. But even
that eventually wore thin on
knees and seat. The frugality of
the Fork decreed that these be
half-soled as soon as they began
to wear thin. And our mothers
were past masters at reinforcing
those spots of greatest wear. The
idea was never to' let them wear
through and make a hole. That
would show too plainly when fix
ed. But just before the fabric
broke through on the seat and
knees of our pants the reinforc
ing process took , place.
A large patch of the same ma
terial was basted to the inside
of the seat of the pants. And
a suitable one was likewise
basted inside the knees. These
were then so skillfully darned on
that you could hardly tell it.
Then they were thicker than be
fore. And that’s the sort of pants
the boys liked to have on when
they got a beating at school. A
hickory switch on a seat thus
protected was hardly felt at all.
Yet the victim yelled like it was
killing him so as to make the
teacher stop..
This added great durabiity to
our clothes. A pair of pants thus
half-soled would last as long as
a new pair. Those pants came
just below our knees to protect
our precious home-knit stockings
from bursting out at that point
when we fell. For a hole in those
stockings had to be fixed at once
or they would ravel out. And
that recalls something I’ll have to
tell you about next week.
Thrip Damage
Grave Threat
To Lint Crop
A serious outbreak of
thrips and flea beetle waa
found in Newberry County
during the past week. Coun-
‘ ty Agent P. B. Ezell in re
porting this outbreak aays
that thrip damage is more
serious during dry weather.
The Newberry County and
Clemson College extension
cotton committee reported
» thrip damage as being gener
al during the past week.
The first evidence of thrips
on seedling cotton is a “sil
vering” on the underside of
the leaves. Later stages of
their injury can be recog
nized by the puckering of the
affected leaves. This is some
times referred to aa “possum-
eared” cotton, and unless ths
injury is checked the young
plants are badly stunted In
growth or killed. The peak
of thrips infestation usually
occurs during the period of
grain harvesting,
t The committee points out
that the application of such
insecticides as BHC, DDT
toxaphene, aidrin, dieldrin, or
heptachlor either as a dust or
as a spray should give satis
factory control. It stresses
the fact that it is especially
important to check or control
thrips infestation during the
next two or three weeks.

S O NOW WE ARE a full-fledged
dictatorship! The President of
the United States is responsible to
the people alone—whatever that
means. The people in this country
are represented by congress. Ac
cording to the attorney general’s
interpretation, the Constitution lim
its the power of the congress and
of the judiciary—but not of the
President. If this is the case, then
the President is supreme ruler in
these United States and can over
rule congress or the courts.
So we now have King Harry the
first of the house of Truman. Some
of us could have wished for a more
superior being for our first king:
but there seems to be quite a num
ber who are satisfied, else they
would take the trouble to vote. And
November may be their last chance
ever to do so, for, if the power of
the President is superior to the Con
stitution, the right of the citizen to
vote can be abolished by the stroke
of a pen. And if you don’t believe
that stroke of the pen “can happen
here,” you don’t know your Wash-
Ington.
The citizens of this nation have
been warned continuously, ever
since the New Deal stepped ipto
office 20 years ago, that there were
elements in Washington which
would move heaven and earth to
destroy our Constitution and take
over the government of this coun
try. Is this the first major step? Is
President Truman the type of
American who would permit him
self knowlingly to be used in this
sort of game? Wo don’t believe so,
and we have no. proof that some of
those who advise him are playing
this game either. But when the at
torney general’s representative con
tends in court that the President
has emergency powers without
constitutional limitation, and that
not even the courts have the power
to interfere — it ix time rocking-
chair Americans bestirred them
selves—come November—and oust
from office those who can thus in
terpret the great document which
made the President the servant of
the people and not their master.

Thousands of readers of weekly
newspapers have wondered from
time to time why their local-publi
cation’s editorial p&ge sometimes
becames a vapid page of words.
Richard A. Swank, editor of the
Duncannon Record, Duncannon,
Pa., gives his explanation in an edi
torial entitled, ‘You Gotta Starve a
Little.’ Writes Editor Swank:
“Several self-appointed t a s h>
masters have called our attention
to an increasing lack of editorials
from the publisher of this paper.
They have assumed, and they are
partly right, .that he has become an
idler, a ne’er-do-well, a slacker, and
a postponer. Several great events
have stirred the community, the
state of the nation, with no outburst
from him. Has he gone to sleep?
“For the past several weeks more
and more of the editorial chores
have been delegated to younger and
more spirited members of the staff.
The grist from their mill has been
exceedingly fine ground. The pub
lisher has no complaint. But readers
are never content unless they can
be assured the machine is plunging
along with all cylinders moving-
even the boss should be working.
“It has come to the place where
even the hired help is wondering
why the typewriter doesn’t clack in
in a more laxativious manner. So
an explanation.
“To write editorials you gotta
starve a little. We don’t mean you
must wither away from lack of
food, nor dry up from thirst. But
rather that you can never be con
tent with everything that is fed you
by the great public organizations
that assume the responsibility of
telling, you. how each and every
part of your daily life should and
must be lived. In other words, any
person who crosses you, or who
tells jrou what you must do—with
him you must be mad, cussing mad.
"Good editorials, at least the
kind we’d like to write, must
gush forth from wells buried
deep and only tapped when irri
tated by the general and collec
tive cussedness of the rest of the
human race. Until you can be
touched fust there, and bitterly
hard, you might as well relax and
take things as they come and en
joy the passing of the season and
the quiet nights and the vapid
vapors that arise from light
novels, lighter movies and radio
television that promises to be
come a wisp of nothing.
“That’s why we’ haven’t been
writing stirring messages of con
tempt, sentences of destruction and
paragraphs of poop. We’re waiting
until we starve a little, just a little
more.”

Our Mistakes
From the p&n of an unidentified
western country editor: “If you
find any mistakes in this paper con
sider them put there for your bene
fit. We know that some people’s
only fun comes from looking for
them, and always^ try to include a
few to make them happy.”
