PICNICS AND
HOME-COMINGS
I passed a country church in
the mid-state the other day. A
large crowd was there and it was
not Sunday. I saw no signs of a
funeral or wedding either. So I
stopped and asked some men,
who were sitting under a tree
there by the road whittling and
chewing the rag. They said it
was a family reunion, and asked
me to stay. I didn’t want to
butt in, even though that long
picnic table told of treats to
come.
After talking with them a bit, 1,
saw the ladies start drifting to
wards the table back there under
the trees. Reluctantly I left.
Oommunity picnics now at lay
by time are in order. Fond
memories take me back to them
years ago. And family reunions
too. I hear of a good many of
’em over the state. But surely
there should be more.
UNDERGROUND INSECTS
Our insect man Nettles tells
me that distinct progress towards
the control of underground in
sects that burrow into potatoes
is being made through the use oi
erganh. poisons in the fertilizer.
The poisons showing promise in
this are aldrin and chlordane.
In the Up Count 1 ”} it is -it
larvae of the flea bettle that
burrow into s^eet potatoes. And
in the Low Country it is the wire-
worm that bores into Irish po
tatoes that causes considerable
losses. These poisons used against
these pests have given promis
ing results and the potatoes did
not take up objectionable flavors
as from some earlier poisons thus
applied.
GNAT FEVER
Of all things, gnat feaver!
Yes, of turkeys.
The experts say it’s something
like malaria.
The men of Clemson have been
studying it down in Jasper county.

keeping this particular gnat fTom

new.
AVOID BRUISING LIVESTOCK
About one out of every 10
hogs sold on the Chicago market
shows bruises of some sort that
ruin portions of the carcass for
food, a survey shows. A little
over 60 percent of these bruises
were man-made. Canes, whips,
clubs, kicking, prodding, etc.,
caused them. The use of canvas
slappers that make a lot of

noise but will not bruise the hog
would remedy such bruises. Your
county agent can tell you where
to get them.
And this same survey showed
that a little over one cow out of
20 on that market was bruised.
And these in cattle amounted to
more in dollars and cents than
similar bruises . on hogs. The
bulk of those on cattle were
man-made too.
Our livestock marketing special
ist, H. F. Livingston, Jr., points
out the fact that the farmer
pays for these bruise losses in the
lower price received. So it is
to his interest to try to avoid
them in getting his livestock to
market;
GRASS IS IMMORTAL
Grass was the first living thing
the Almighty brought forth on
this earth. I read that in early
Genesis. During our era jof clean-
cultivated crops, we knew only
to fight it. Now we study its
culture and it promises us much.
I like John J. Ingalls’ eulogy of
grass. Here it is:
“Grass is the forgiveness of
Nature, her constant benediction.
Fields trampled with battle, satu
rated with blood, torn with the
ruts of cannon grow green again
with grass, and carnage is for
gotten. Streets abandoned by
traffic become grass-grown like
rural lanes, and are obliterated.,
Forests decay, harvests perish,
flowers vanish, but grass is im
mortal.
“Beleagured by the sullen hosts
of winter, it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of its sub
terranean vitality and emerges up
on the first solicitation 6f spring.
Sown by the winds, by the wan
dering birds, propagated by the
subtle horticulture of the ele
ments, which are its ministers
and servants, it softens the rude
outline of the world.
“Unobtrusive and patient, it has
immortal vigor and aggression.
Banished from the thoroughfare
and the field, it bids its time to
return, and when vigilance is re
laxed, or the dynasty has perish
ed, it silently resumes the throne
from which it has been expelled,
but which it never abdicates. It
bears no blazonry or bloom to
charm the senses with fragrance
and splendor, but its homely hue
is more enchanting than the lily
or the rose. It yields no fruit
on earth or air, and yet should
its harvest fail for a single year,
famine would depopulate the
earth.”

Earliest recollection carries me
back to beijng frightfully afraid
of the dark.
I think the tales of spooks and
other things of the night told us
by our colored playmates largely
caused that. Although I guess it
is just a part of instinct to be
afraid of that which we can't see.
Darkness immediately suggests
hidden dangers. If dangers are
there, we can't see them. So we
fear it.
We had an older cousin down
the road that often came up to
our house after supper. I can
hear him now, yodeling, singing,
and yelling as he came. I thought
he was very brave to scorn the
dangers of the night and go
abroad in it by himself. But later
when I reached his age, night
travel was taken for granted, and
I had to go the gaits too. It was
then that I adopted his tactics,
after a few frightful experiences.
Out there in the darkness of
night, you can hear all sorts of
things if you are quiet and of
a mind to. But to pierce that
dark curtain with whistling, song,
or yell is to largely break the
barrier down. And then you pro
ceed with a bit of confidence.
On one of my first trips out at
night by myself, it was a few
hundred yards down the ravine to
that cousin’s house. When I got
about half, way, a scurrying noise
seemed to be all over the ground
around me. I was never as scar
ed before. A weak heart would
have stopped then. In a moment
their dog, tha£. had met me up
the path, reared up on me. I
embraced it firmly, as my heart
toned down its pounding and my
hair lay back in place.
That was before I had learn
ed to keep up a commotion while
out in the dark. If I had been
yelling, I wouldn't have felt as
eerie in the first place, and I
wouldn’t have heard the dog scur
rying among the leaves as he
greeted me. So, from then on I
adopted the tactics this -cousin
had taught me. And from then
on. I went about in the dark
rather much unafraid.
Hi-Lites of a
Great Career
Dwight D. Eisenhower won
the nomination as Republican
candidate for President on the
first ballot of the 25th Republi
can National Convention at Chi
cago, July 11, 1952.
Now 61 years of age, he was
born in Denison, Texas, on Oc
tober 14, 1890. In two years the
family returned to Abilene, Kan
sas, and Eisenhower and his
five brothers grew up ' # there
amidst a mixture of rugged
frontier town life and an ex
ceedingly religious home life.
On both sides of his family, Eis
enhower is of German and
Swiss descent.
To help the family’s meagre
income, the Eisenhower boys
worked after school at odd jobs.
Dwight worked summers in the
local creamery. In 1919 he was
graduated from high school
with a very good scholastic and
athletic record.
Eisenhower £hen worked for
several years until he took the
examinations for both Annapol
is add West Point. He finished
first in the Annapolis examina
tion and second in the one for
West Point, but found himself
several months too old for the
Naval Academy and therefore
chose to attend West Point.
Republican Senator J. L. Bris
tow of Kansas appointed him to
the United State Military Acad
emy, which Eisenhower entered
July 1, 1911. He was graduated
in 1915 in the upper third of his
class and received a commis
sion as second lieutenant of In
fantry. Assigned to the 19th In
fantry, he went to Fort Sam
Houston, Texas. There he met
Mamie Geneva Doud whom he
’"■married in 1916.
Eisenhower's Army career is
marked by a series of assign
ments at various posts and in
a wide range of duties. His pro
motions were slow at first,
gradually accelerated as he de
veloped and demonstrated his
outstanding ability in organiza
tion and leadership. Eisenhow
er’s star began a definite rise
when he graduated first in a
class of 350 officers from the
Command ' and General Staff
School, Ft. Leavenworth, Kans.
in 1926. Other assignments in
cluded: Infantry Tank School,
1922; Army War College, 1928;
Army Industrial College, 1935;
Assistant Executive Officer, Of
fice of Assistant Secretary of
War, 1929-33; Office of Chief
of Staff, 1933-1935; Assistant to
General MacArthur in Phillip-
pines, 1935-40; Chief of Staff,
Third Army, 1940-41 (during
which time he performed bril
liantly in Louisiana Maneuvers);
Chief of War Plans Div., War
Department General Staff and
then Assistant Chief of Staff
in charge of Operations Di
vision. By mid-year 1942 he had
risen to the rank of Lt. General
(temporary) and was Command
ing General, European Theater.
On November 8, 1842, Gener
al Eisenhower commanded the
American Forces landing in
North Africa and he became
Commander-in-Chief of Allied
Forces later that month. He be
came Supreme Commander, Al
lied Expeditionary Forces, • in
December, 1943, planning and
coordinating the land, sea and
air forces for the Normandy In
vasion, to take place on June 6,
1944. He became a full General
(temporary) in February, 1943,
and General of the Army (tem
porary) December 20, 1944, and
became permanent in this rank
two years later. March 10, 1941
he became a full Colonel and 23
months later he was a full Gen-

ARE CARP
FIT TO EAT?
by JOHN HITE
In Anderson Independent
Fishing has reached a low
ebb for the year. About the only
fish that are being caught are
Bream. I did hear that a few bass
were being caught on a Dalton
Special but could not find out
where the fish were being caught.
There are still a few fishermen
that believe they can catch all the
fish in a given area but they will
learn. I found a Bream hole last
year where I cajjght the limit
almost everytime I went out and
I told others. Finally you had to
stand in line to get to the water
and fish were still being caught.
It seemed that everytime one fish
was taken from the water two
came back in its place. Now we
all do agree that if you find
Bream beds they can be fished
out completely. It’s difficult to get
anyone to tell you about the lo
cation of a Bream bed because
the beds provide lots of fun un
til all the fish are caught.
The age-old argument concern
ing the gamest fish in fresh water
keeps popping up. Some of the
old fishermen say that you can’t
beat Bream for their size, others
say brookies in our mountain
streams are tops, and then carp
and catfish are mentioned. What
do you, the fisihermen, think
about the gamest fish in our fresh
water lakes and streams? •
Are carp good to eat? Likes and
dislikes in food are all a matter
of personal preference, or what
one was accustomed to, growing
up, or personal prejudice. Most
of us would be disgusted by the
thought of eating Jiorse meat.
A few years ago, at least, an
Apache Indian would just about
become sick dt the tummy at the
thought of eating fish, ducks, or
anything else that spent even
part of its time in the water-
he’s been told from childhood that
all stuff was unfit for food. But
he loved horse meat and mule
meat. Also, he’d smack his lips at
the thought of a stew of dog
meat.
In medieval days, when streams
and lakes were full of trout and
salmon,easily caught, monks and
barons went to all the trouble of
importing-stock carp from Asia to
Europe, and rearing them in
pounds—they wanted GOOD fish
to eat, not those awful-tasting sal
mon and trou£. All this was start
ed by • another of the old colored
gentlemen. He said he considered
carp among the gamest of fish,
and would rather catch them than
almost anything else, for the
sport of it. And he’s certainly
right—so far as he’& concerned
anyhow. It’s very narrow minded
to try to change another’s fishing
notions to one’s own, or to say
that his are worse, or wrong.
Unless, of course, his notions or
methods are damaging fishing for
others, then they are wrong, and
should be changed.
A‘ company in Minnesota are
now canning carp. Many who’Ve
eaten it report that it is actually
better than tuna. The somewhat
vague moral of all this: Try pres
sure-cooking some carp and see
how you like it. If you happen to
think it’s grand—well, carp are
common in most places, with no
bag limits or closed seasons. And
you know what meat cost nowa
days.
And thinning them out by
angling for them and canning
them would help other fishing a
whole lot, almost everywhere.
Carp would be about the most
harmless fish in the world if
there weren’t so blamed many of
them—. Why rabbits and guinea
pigs are just amateurs when it
comes to breeding fast, compared
to carp.

May 8, 1945, General Eisen
hower signed the unconditional
surrender which terminated the
war in Europe and soon he was
appointed Military Governor of
the United States Occupied
Zone in Germany, headquarters
at Frankfurt.
On November 19, 1945, Gener
al Eisenhower succeeded Gen
eral Marshall as Chief of Staff
and he remained in that office
until succeeded by General
Omar N. Bradley on February
7, 1948.
From June 7, 1948 until De
cember 1950, General Eisenhow
er was President of Columbia
University. During his period
at Columbia he made the many
speeches which have so clearly
set forth his principles of gov
ernment and citizenship. He ob
tained a leave of absence from
the university when, on Decem
ber 16, 1950, he became Su
preme Allied Commander,
Europe, the U. S. Air Forces,
Europe; and the U. S. Naval
Forces, Eastern Atlantic and
Mediterranean. The North At
lantic Treaty Nations request
ed General Eisenhower to take
this post after they had agreed
on a defense organization for
Europe.
A climax of the confidence
which his command restored to
Europe came on February 22,
1952, when NATO unanimously
agreed to join in a full-fledged
European Defense pact
