TELEVISION ON WHEELS—You won’t find it
in the dealer’s showrooms but something new in
automobile body design and construction has been
worked out by Fisher Body engineers for NBC tele
vision which for the first time will permit the imme
diate televising of pictures taken from a moving car.
Here shown is a Cadillac 75 sedan engineered
especially for the televising of General Eisenhower’s
Presidential inauguration parade. A full crew, four
technicians and a driver can ride in the car while
telecasting. The camera man works through a turret
opening cut through Fisher Body’s famous turret top
at the right front corner While the transmitters send
out a beamed wave to a receiver worked by a man
in the torret opening at the left rear of the body. This
picture, in turn, is relayed to a fixed receiver and
then by coaxial cable to the network. The car carries
almost a ton of special television equipment.

“DANGEROUS TIMES”
I read a rather frightening arti
cle the other day about “the dan
gerous times” through which we
are passing.
History shows that practically
every generation has lived through
“dangerous times.” I can remem
ber several of ’em in my time.
Thirty-five years ago the name
Kaiser caused the whole world
to shudder. But a few years later
he died an exile in a foreign land
where he, a beaten man, sought
asylum.
In the the late Twenties a great
depression gnawed at the very
foundation, of our economy, and
many men could then see no way
out. Yet it was followed by our
period of greatest prosperity.
Then in the very late Thirties a
mad man, who thought he had the
power to conquer the world, struck
in Europe, followed by another
group that struck with him in the
Pacific. Things looked awful dark
then for peaceful people. But a
few years later the mad-man was
buried beneath the rubble of his
blasted capitol, and the atomic
bomb had written finis to the
dark years in the Pacific.
And now, a few short years
afterwards, dangerous times are
upon us again. And they look
like the worst yet. Each one look
ed that way in its time. And one
is led to wonder if one of them
will yet succeed in its dark pur
pose and engulf the world in
another Dark Age. Hardly, if we
are vigilant, and stick to our
Ideals.
These dark and dangerous times
have hit agriculture too. It was
indeed dark when the boll weevil
knocked the county where I was
later agent from 65 thousand bales
of cotton‘in 1920 to 9 thousand in
1922. And it was dangerous times
too when for a time in 1932 there
was simply no market for our cot
ton, and hogs were quoted on the
Chicago market at 2.9 cents a
pound for tops. And farm credit
died completely but for the Seed
Loan.
Yes, dark and dangerous times
have been our lot. Usually then we
have been at our best, and soon
came back. May it ever so be.

DuRant, suggests feeding a limit

PORTABLE TYPEWRITER
• lt*s a fact that when you
type schoolwork you get
higher marks. Ask your teach
ers. Authorities say marks go
up as much as 10% when
schoolwork is typed. What's
more, you fix your lessons in
your mind so much better
when you type. And you have
more time for fun and spend
fewer hours on your home
work. Now is the time to
learn typing.

The amazing feature that takes
the guess-work out of page-end

Annual Farm
Home Week
August 17-22
CLEMSON, Jan. 24—The annual
South Carolina Farm ,and Home
Week will be staged at Clemson
during the week of August 17-22,
according to an announcement
from Dr. R. F. Poole, president,
Clemson College. Thos. W. Morgan,
assistant director, Clemson Ex
tension Service, will again be gen
eral chairman of the Farm and
Home Week Committee. The event
is expected to again attract thou
sands of people from all sections
of the state.
Mr. Morgan will in the near
future announce appropriate conv
mittees representing all depart
ments and activities of the college
to formulate plans and arrange for
the wide variety of activities to be
featured during the week. These
activities will be coordinated to
present latest information on the
various phases of agriculture. The
program for the week will likely
follow the same general plan as
the one which has proved so
later for the spring and early sum
mer markets. About 7 parts cord
cob and shuck mixed with one part
of cotton seed meal makes a good
mixture of this, he says. At first
feed them just a pound or two a
day while grazing. Then, as
grazing gets scarcer and the fat
tening season approaches, in
crease it gradually up to all they
will eat.
And for hogs he suggests let
ting them clean up the fields good.
At the same time give them a sup
plementary protein feed made out
of equal parts of tankage or fish
meal and cotton seed meal or soy
bean meal mixed together. A half
pound of this per day per shote
is about right.
MODERNIZED WATER LAW
Such water laws as we have in
South Carolina are entirely un
suited to modern times. The soil
conservation district supervisors
instituted a study of the situation
through Dean Prince of the Law
School of our University. An ex
pert of the SCS spent some time
in the state making a complete
study of our situation and ren
dered valuable assistance in get
ting some recommendations in
shape to present to the legislature.
I have visited most of the ir
rigation regions of the country.
Regulating the use of water has
been one of their greatest pro
blems. And they all told me that
they hadn’t solved it to the satis
faction of all by any means yet,
while they have been working on
it for many years. But the im
portant fact is, they are putting
all the water they have to benefi
cial use. Now, folks, that’s our
task here. Up to now we have
used very little of our water re
source. But with irrigation com
ing for sure, and industrial and
municipal needs for water grow
ing constantly, it is high time for
us to get some workable statutes
on the books that will permit the
use of our water most effectively.
INFORMATION
Science knows a lot more about
the things that bother you most in
your farming than the. average
man knows. That information is
prepared for you in practical form
in Clemson’s bulletins that are
free for the asking at your county
agent’s office there in your coun
ty.

CARTER’S
Day Phone 719 — Night 6212
By LYN CONNELLY
H IT times have a way of wind
ing up under the Peggy Lee
standard . . . “Golden Earrings,’’
“Manana,” “It’s a Good Day”
and “Lover” are just a few . . .
They’ve had “lee-way” . . . It’s all
in the lovely vocalist’s approach to
a song . . . Her personality with a
tune has made her a great favorite
in night spots . . . Small wonder
then, that her CBS radio program
is one of the most popular musical
offerings on the air . . . Listeners
get an earful of the same, famed
“Lee treatment” she gives the
songs while singing at Giro’s in
Hollywood, the Copacabana in New
York or at any of the other famed
night clubs in which she appears.
Miss Lee gets the life and bounce
into the tunes she sings by using a
microphone technique all her own
The fingers of her left hand
snap in firecracker fashion, while
her right heel beats the tempo
against the studio floor “Even
the musicians,” says conductor
Sonny Burke, “are captivated by
Peggy’s microphone magic to a
point where we’re just dimly aware
of being on the air with a coast-to-
coast show.”’ . . Peggy opened a
new career for herself with a
sterling performance in her first
big screen break in “The Jazz
Singer.”
PLATTER CHATTER
CAPITOL:—As usual, this com
pany is way out in front when it
comes to recording children’s spe
cialties . . . Some of their latest
that would be fine for Junior’s
library Include “Bose’s Song,” fea
turing “Honkety Hank;” “Sparky’s
Magic Echo,” the wonderful “Ugly
Duckling,” taken, of coarse, from
the Hans Christian Andersen’s
fairy tale . .. This Is told and sung
by Don Wilson with voice char
acterisations by Stan Freberg, and
it eonldn’t be finer.
Other Capitol records for chil
dren are “Bugs Bunny and the
Grow-Small Juice,” featuring the
talented Mel Blanc; “Tweet. Tweet,
Tweety,” also with Blanc;, and
Walt Disney’s “Bongo, the Circus
Bear,” told by Don Wilson.

features of the program. Farm ma

It is expected that several state
wide farm groups will hold annual
or special meetings or conferences
during the week, and already the
Rural Church Conference commit
tee is at work planning for an en
larged rural church conference for
the week.
The week’s program will take
place between semesters while the
college students are away from
the campus. This will make the
college barracks and dining room
available to provide housing and
meals for farm families who live
some distance from the college.
