interesting.
Such competitive events foster
cheating, lying and other unscrupu
lous practices. They breed bit
terness and quarrels. They dis
courage sportsmanship. They pat
the fish killer and the fish hog
on the back, because contests
must have dead entries. They
make a mockery of conservation,
and turn the quiet, contemplative
non-competitive sport of angling
into a crass, commercial competi
tion.
Let’s look at children’s contests,
surely the most innocuous kind—
or are they? Wolf tells of such a
contest held annually near his
home. Merchants and individuals
donate prizes and there are so
many that the officials had to in
vent categories. There were prizes
for the fattest boy angler, the pret
tiest girl, the smallest child, the
one who came the greatest dis
tance. All a child had to do was
catch a fish to win something
The event was held at a dam
across a creek flowing through
a park. It had been stocked with
800 bluegills and 100 carp for the
occasion. It was a big event and
a good time was had by all,
especially the self-congratulatory
adults—but have you ever watch
ed such a kids’ event? The entire
emphasis was on catching some
thing somehow, and not on teach
ing the children anything about
fishing or sportsmanship. It was
a greedy race to see who could kill
a fish to win a baseball bat or a
wagon, Fish and fishing became a
means to an end, rather than an
end in themselves, and it would
be a smart child, indeed, who
learned about sportsmanship from
such an event.
And another thing—it is illegal
to plant carp in that stat^ Yet
the persons who ran the contest,
knowing nothing of fishing or such
laws, stocked the creek with carp.
Such contests, unfortunately,
are becoming very common
across the nation. It is almost
sacrilege to say, as Wolf does,
that such contests are so much
bumcombe and should be abolish
ed. They do not teach a child any
thing about fishing. They do
learn a bit about cheating and
poor sportsmanship, and regard
fish as something to be caught to
win a prize.
I believe a child should be taken
fishing and instructed individual
ly—when it is old enough to take
care of -itself along a stream or
on water, when it is capable
enough not to be a nuisance to
the adult, and when it can take
care of its own tackle. Anything
else is misery for the adult, as
the contest managers often learn.

Williamston Has A
Modern Abraham
By J. E. KIRBY
(In Anderson Independent)
WILLIAMSTON, Jan. 24 — In
1941, Watts Patton Boiter of Wil
liamston set up a stone by a tree
and made this woodland spot his
place of daily prayer and com
munication with God.
For several months, no one but
his family khew of his altar in the
woods on his farm between Wil
liamston and Belton. One day the j
pastor of Gossett Memorial Bap
tist Church ■where Mr. Boiter is a
member, visited in the home and
suggested that they pray togeth
er. Mr. Boiter, in turn suggested
that they go to his altar in the
woods to hold prayer.
“From that day,” he says, “it
has been a public altar.”
The one stone Mr. Boiter set up
has been hidden by hundreds of
others piled* around the tree by
t£ose who have come here to pray.
“I want to see this rock pile
grow,” the modern Abraham says.
“Every rock added fneans another
soul has been prayed for. I want
everybody that loves God to come
and share this altar with me and
my friends.”
Mr. Boiter visits this altar, and
five others on his farm, each day,
averaging about six visits daily.
Mrs. Boiter accompanies him
when she is able, and his little
spotted dog always goes along,
waiting quietly while its master
kneels and prays.
One group which visits the Rock
Altar regularly is the pastor
of Gossett Memorial Church and
its deacons. They come here early
every Sunday morning to pray for
guidance and success in the ser
vices to be held later in the day
Other visitors come from Wil
liamston, Pelzer, White Plains
Cheddar, Liberty, Easley .Pickens
Central and other nearby commun
ities. One man from Bessemer
Ala., stops by the altar occasion
ally. Mr. Boiter says.
Mr. Boiter, 7,2 years old, has
lived around Williamston most of
his life. A bone infection when he
was four years old left him crip
pled > in one leg, but his affliction
has not marred his jtaith or friend
liness in man. or his devotion to
God. He is a mild-mannered man
with a sparkle In his eye, proud of
his family and friends.
On Jan. 11 this year, he and Mrs.
Boiter celebrated their golden wed
ding anniversary.
“My Rosa has been a great help
to me; she goes with me to the
altar when she is able. It means a
lot to have a Christian companion
to walk beside you down the road
of life, I thank God for her,” is
his commendation of his mate.
The Bolters have two daughters,
“both of whom love the Lord and
are a blessing to their parents,”
the father proudly says. They are
Mrs. W. Mack Morris and Mrs.
George W. McCall, both of Pelzer.
They are proud, too, of their three
grandsons, W. Mack Harris Jr.,
Williamston; Joseph Robert Har
ris of Dalton, Ga.; Timothy Boiter
Harris of Pelzer, and their great-
grandson, Joseph Robert Harris,
Jr.
In the last three years, Mr.
Boiter has not missed a single
day visiting his altars. One winter
day, ice bowed limbs of the trees
so around the Rock Altar that he
had to crawl in on his hands and
knees to reach it. He prayed that
day as any other and continues to
go there every day for communi
cation with the God who means
so much to him.
Coffee-Raisin Pilau Is a Delicious Dessert
Bill Would Hike
Fishing License
Fee In State
COLUMBIA, Jan. 24—A bill that
would abolish special fishing
licenses in South Carolina and
hike the price of regular fishing
licenses from $1.10 and $3.10 Is to
be introduced in the House by Rep.
W. N. Clinkscales of Anderson.
Clinkscales said that the mea
sure has been prepared and that
he expects to introduce it within
the next few days.
Besides being required to buy
the regular state fishing license
at $1.10, persons desiring to fish
in places such as Buzzard Roost,
Lake Murray, Santee Cooper and
other places, must buy a special
license, for each place.
Clinkscales pointed out that
there are six places in the state
for which special licenses are re
quired. “That means that if you
want to fish in all you must pay
$7.70,” he said.
He proposes to abolish the spe 4
cial license and allow persons to
fish anywhere on the $3.10 license.
Persons in the armed forces would
not be required to buy a fishing
license.
A trip to tho moon may become
possible within the next ten years,

be a rocket, not man. that-makes

If you find you are not as effi
cient around eleven each morning;
if you begin to get a “draggy” feel
ing at mid-afternoon; if your
youngsters don’t show the zip and
mental alertness which you expect
—^maybe it’s because the family
isn’t doing right by itself at break
fast! ,
That’s what a list of learned nu-
. trition experts, doctors and others
are saying. They’ve made exten
sive tests which show that neglect
of the first meal of the day definite
ly cuts down on efficiency. Some
of them go so far as to say that
skimping on breakfast is a contrib
uting factor among children in
general poor health.
These experts stress the fact
that breakfast should provide one-
fourth to one-third of the total daily
caloric needs as well as a propor
tionate share of all the essential
nutrients. Yet it is the one meal
most often slighted by adults and
children alike.
A recent survey conducted by the
University of Iowa Medical School
indicated a neglect of good break
fasts in all age groups. Results
showed that out of fivd children,
only one goes to school with a good
breakfast.
Among the boys and girls, the
survey revealed that sixty percent
of the teen-age girls were in the
habit of eating a breakfast entirely
inadequate to their physical needs
while twice as many older teen-age
boys had poorer breakfast habits
in comparison with the younger
teen-agers.
Women rank as the worst offend
ers in the older age bracket with
only forty percent of them eating
what nutritionists term a good
breakfast. The men had a some
what higher average with fifty-six
percent of those surveyed saying
they had a good breakfast.
The studies showed that those
persons eating a good breakfast
daily had a greater work output,
shorter reaction time and less
shakiness after exercising. Those
eating a poor breakfast showed a
decrease in maximum work output,
an increase both in simple and
choice reaction time and an in
crease in tremor magnitude.
A basic breakfast pattern, such
as that being eaten by the typical
American family pictured above,
has been formulated by leading
nutritionists and medical authori
ties. It consists of fruit or fruit
juice, cereal (hot or ready to eat),
milk, bread and butter or fortified
margarine.
This basic breakfast does not,
except in a few instances, equal
one-fourth to one-third of the total
daily caloric needs. It is merely a
nutritional pattern structure to be
increased in its portions or aug
mented with eggs, breakfast meats
or other suitable foods to fulfill
part of the daily caloric and nu
tritional requirements.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J M ELFAZElS
—
There is an old myth about a
strange animal being at large in
the community.
We experienced it every few
years when we were kids. And I
still hear of it at times now. Often i*
it reaches print, and. the whole-
community gets all scared up
about it.
Well can v 1 remember
of these monsters that came our
way when I was a kid. And how
those tales scared us! One of them
was what made me first scared of
the darkness of night. This
ster was supposed to roam only on
dark nights. All you could hear
was the rustling in the leaves of
the dry woods. Dogs were reput
ed be deathly afraid of it for it at©
dogs. Folks shut their dogs up at
night. I had nightmares in my
sleep about that thing and it made
me not want to blow the lamp out.
Another monster of the stone
hills was a bear-like thing that 1
walked upright. Someone had
actually seen it, but we never
knew who that someone was. He
always lived across the creek or
away out in the piney woods. Folks
told of its great tracks they had
seen on the sand along streams.
Said it looked like a bear’s track,
but bigger than any ordinary bear
that ever lived. That was when
folks only had muzzle loading
guns. And most of them loaded
theirs with heavy loads, using
some buckshot, bb’s, or slugs from
the blacksmith shop in it. They
wanted to be sure of a kill if the
monster came their way. And the
word spread that it was killing
cattle, being specially fond of
calves. And it ate them bones and
alL
We heard great tales about it.
Down the road where it was
reputed to roam, we heard it was
sucking the milk from cows and
making them wild and nervous,
and that it had killed a full grown
yearling and consumed it, not
leaving a trace. When one of
those tales was abroad in the
Dutch Fork, our ’possum huntin’,
was ruined for the time being. For
the dark out of doors carried many
goblins then.
