He says every time he thinks of it now it sickens him. But at the time he found a certain amount of glory in it, because he was one of the venerated ones. In the first place he had a year’s start on most of the patients. In the second place both his lungs were affected; and he had a cough that shook the rafters and left him exhausted. For final measure, the germ had a grip on his throat and had temporarily taken his voice, and he was advised that unless he gave it com plete rest by not talking at all, the larynx would be destroyed irrevocably. One of those cheerful fellows who was forever giving the happy smile and bright word got on his nerves so much he began to detest the sight of him. Then one day this chap found he had to be in a cradle for two years, and not allowed to move. The same day he got this bad news his only child was stricken with poliomyelitis, in a severe form. As he was shifted out of the ward he broke into a smile and called, fjr’Good luck chaps Look after yourselves.”* Ross says he lay staring at the doorway a long time. His eyes filled with tears of admiration. Then he said to himself, “My God, I’ve got troubles I But take a look at that guy. He’s smiling!” Suddenly it occurred to him how well off he was. He was in the best hands possible; his financial affairs were all right; his family was well, and at least he could move around in bed. Immediately he relaxed. Worry and despair fell away like husks on a ripening almond. That week, for the first time, he held his weight. Gaining in hope and confidence, it was not long before he started to put on weight. Though he didn’t speak for two years, and spent three years in a sanatorium, he now has his voice and is able to work for a few hours each day. Some of those he envied and resented have never made Carnegie Oak Leaf Blister Attacking Trees In Newberry District A disease commonly known as oak leaf blister has been increas ingly conspicious on oaks during the summer, according to E. L. Middleswart, District Forester, Newberry. This is especially true on street and yard oak trees and it has rendered the trees very unsightly. Not much work* has been done on the blister recently, however, the disease has been noted in much lesser extent for several decades. The oak leaf blister is caused by a fungus. It is very closely related and similar to the fungus causing peach leaf curl, in view of this similarity, control mea sures used on the peach leaf curl have been used experimentally to control oak leaf blister. The spores of fungus live, over winter on the bark of twigs and on bud scales. In the spring these spores are washed by the rain onto the new leaves. As the leaves develop the fungus al so develops, causing blisters to distort and discolor the leaf and killing portions or all of the leaf. Heavy infection will take place in temperatures from 50 de grees to 70 degrees. Temperatures above 70 will kill the spores, thus little spread takes place during summer months. The disease is rarely ever fatal to a tree; how ever, severe attacks for several years in succession greatly weak en the tree. The common control measure for the oak leaf blister is to spray with Bordeaux mixture. This spraying must be done during the winter or early spring before the buds begin to swell and grow The entire tree must be sprayed, which means that controlling the disease would be difficult in large oaks. guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Counts Sr. Mrs. Joe Bedenbaugh and her little daughter, Linda, visited in Spartanburg over the weekend as guests of Mr. and Mrs. James Hunt.
