Their auto loans helped me get through!” Purcells makes loans for any worthwhile purpose. Try ’em and see. Purcells “Your Private Bankers" 1418 Main St Newberry MOVING FAST Tomorrow' is my birthday, the 57th one. My father died 4 years younger than that. And I thought he was an old man! But when my crowd gets together, we still speak of “us boys.” Life is sort of like a footrace. You start of^ slow, and can hardly remember from one birthday to the next. But, as the finish line gets nearer, the pace is quickened, ahd you finish off.the last lap or so in a fast flourish that seems to just keep you hanging up new calendars. I can well remember when a * new calendar lasted a long time. And it got all fly specked and yel lowed with age before it was time to take it down. But now the one it seems I hung but yesterday still looks new, with its pages all used up. I guess modern tech nology and science account for that illusion. Screens and or ganic poisons have made flies scarce. And papermaking has been improved to the point that it does not now fade and yellow so with age. In our day, this is a fast mov ing w'orld. Dollars flow. But they won’t stay in your pocket much. And our economist, Dr. Rochester, tells me that the new year will see that aggravated. Farm costs will be up a bit, and farm product prices down a bit. That calls for close figuring and a little tighter operation, if you are to have the needed dollars left. Higher yields of crops and bet ter handling of livestock, dairy and poultry offer us a way out. And there is still room in both of those directions. For instance, tw r o farmers in Greenwood irrigated some of their corn the past summer. The ir rigated part in one case made 12.4 times more corn per acre than the non-irrigated part, while the other case made 13.3 time more! An irrigated pasture in Richland carried a bit over 3 cows per acre for the whole past year, while nearby pastures were only exercising grounds for much of the year, And so it goes. New yield potentials! We have ’em in better seed, better stands, better fertilization, better conser vation farming, and the like. And we are beginning to clinch the benetifs from these things with supplementary irrigation. For the trend that Dr. Rochester spoke of makes it necessary. CURING GOOD MEAT We are now right in the very shank of the butchering season. Have you been able to cure good meat? Some have. But many haven’t. Clemson has the simple directions which, if followed, will give you good home cured meat. They are contained in Extension Bulletin 77 entitled “Pork for Carolina Farmers." It is free ,from your county agent. There ,are two general classes of shrubs we plant around our homes. One sheds its leaves in winter and the other does not. Either sort can be reset now, says our man Schilletter, But bear this in mind. Shrubs and trees that shed their leaves in win ter are best planted just a^soon after the first killing frost comes as possible. This is for the rea son their roots grow some in win ter. Therefore, set earb’, they are ready to go then when spring comes. Those that do not shed their leaves, the evergreens, transplant a little better out a little later in the winter, just before new growth starts. But they can be planted when the others are, if that is more convenient. Those with large green leaves, like the holly and magnolia, are more likely to live and grow off faster if you pick about half of the leaves off when you set them out. Also do any needed pruning or shaping then. Those leaves evaporate moisture from the plant. By tak ing a lot of them off, you save the strain on the root system that’s been crippled by replanting. Those that shed their leaves do not have this drain on them when trans planted because it is some months before leaves come on them. And by that time, early ,set ones have put out a lot of tiny feed roots. For other information about transplanting things arid beautify ing your place, ask your county or home agent.

Kellogg gives information to meet the needs of cultivators of kitchen gardens, flower beds, lawns, or other plantings about the home. Specific, up-to-date in formation that is useful in v all parts of the U.S. “Testimonies" by Patrick O’ Brian is a novel peopled with ab sorbing human beings. Both peo ple and settings are realistically drawn, yet the book has a poetic, idyllic quality. It is the story of the life of a Welsh woman, out wardly uneventful, inwardly, vio lently emotional. “The Juniper Tree" by Faith Baldwin is a moving novel for a wider audience than the author’s usual following. It is the story of one man’s victory over grief. 'The Frontiers” by John Starch- ey has recently been published after a ten-year delay for security reasons. It is an adventure both into recent history and ideas. “Tallulah” by Tallulah Bank- head is the autobiography of the tempestuous actress. In this she gives the true facts of her life, her lack of inhibitions and disregard of conventions, but denies that BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER MORE AND MORE HOUSEWIVES EVERY DAY ARE SAYING...

I often did that job as a kid, as I was the youngest in the family and my hand would get in there to clean them out. We used newspapers at first. A ball of that would get the loose soot out. Then we would wash them with soap and water, rinse, dry, and rub with a clean towel until they shined. Then for a few nights they really lit the place up. My wife’s sister had a sad ex perience cleaning the lamps once. They had one of those shiny met al-base lamps for thejr parlor. She was cleaning it up, for her beaux was coming that night. To test the oil. She stuck her finger down in it apiece and pulled it out. Not seeing any oil on it, she forced her finger away down in it. It fitted so tight in that threaded hole that it wouldn’t come out. She got scared and started pulling. That made it wors©. And soon the finger started swelling. Her daddy arrived about then, as the others were trying frantically to help her. He tried too, but could do no good. Finally they had to send for the tinner. He came with his snipper, gouged a hole into the base of their valued parlor lamp, g6t his tin cutter in that hole, and then cut carefully to her fin ger. In a little while he had freed her. She says, “You talk about sweet relief, that was it." with which she has been falsely labelled. Element of Risk—Mark Derby Adlai E. Stevenson—Noel F.

Right now, Colin Stam, chief jf the congressional tax staff, is going through returns on 1,100 ques tionnaires sent to corporations and individuals concerning the tax set up. . Most of the replies tend to indi cate that tax relief is needed. Some special problems of tax re formers are: co-ops, investment in come of life insurance companies, workers’ pensions, welfare funds and other benefits included in tax able income. The House Ways and Means com mittee wants a tax revision bill passed in 1954 and plans to start hearings on it next year. The State Department says that the recent Czech purge shows that Stalin is still mighty but that he fears Titoism. Czech Red leaders had bungled and let living condi tions in their pation become worse. Popular feeling against Commu nism was growing. So the trials had to be staged, with Slansky and the other defendants as goats, to create a diversion of attention by the public from bad conditions. The next U.S. secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, plans to make hay of satellite resentments against Russian domination when he takes office. The Czech purge will pro vide him good ammunition. * * * Woods* resignation as price con trol boss was brought about by his inability to put through a de crease in the retail beef price. >Fruman’s aides told him he was foolish to attempt such a thing.
