“We’ve made up our minds,”
Valerie said. “It really doesn’t
make any difference what you say,
but we thought we’d ask for your
blessing.”
Mr. Dodson looked long and
thoughtfully at his daughter. His
face seemed lined with defeat as
he gazed at this beautiful girl who
clutched so fiercely at the hand of
the nice-looking young man beside
her on the sofa.
“I don’t understand,” Mr. Dod
son said slowly. “If It doesn’t make
any difference what I say or think,
why do you come to me at all?”
The young man started to speak,
but Valerie interrupted. “We would
rather have your blessing. I knew
you would be against it, but I had
hoped you would wish us luck.”
“What made you so sure I would
be against it?” Mr. Dodson asked.
It wasn’t a question Valerie had
anticipated. “Well, you always
talked about not rushing into mar
riage, and I just naturally figured
you would be against my marrying
Burt right now, with him going
to the army.”
Again Mr. Dodson was thought
ful. “I’m sorry you misunderstood
about that,” he said. “I don’t guess
you remember the most important
part. You know, I always started
out those conversations by saying
that my main concern was your
happiness. And I said I didn’t think
any young girl found happiness by
rushing into marriage. But tell me,
will marrying Burt bring you hap
piness?”
“Yes,” she said.
“Well, then, perhaps that is the
answer to your question. Maybe
your marriage doesn’t need my
blessing. If it brings you happiness,
it automatically has my blessing.”
When he had finished speaking he
had the air of a man who had
solved a great problem.
Later, as they all sat over a cup
of tea, Mr. Dodson spoke to Burt.
“How long will it be before you
leave?”
“Three days,” Burt answered.
“That’s not much time,” Mr.
Dodson sighed. “I remember how
it was when I was in the army dur
ing the first war.”
Valerie looked up quickly. “I
didn’t know you had ever been in
the army. You never said any
thing about it before.”
“I guess I never had occasion
to mention it.” Mr. Dodson said.
“I wasn’t a hero. Fact is, I spent
eighteen months guarding some
sand dunes near El Paso, Texas.”
“That’s probably what’ll happen
to me,” Burt said.
Mrs. Dodson didn’t take part in
the conversation.
“Things were about the same
then as they are now," Mr. Dod
son said. “There was one differ
ence, though. The girls were dif
ferent. I remember how I begged
your mother to marry me before
I went into service, but she wouldn’t
do it”
“I never knew about all this,”
Valerie said. “Why wouldn’t you
marry him, mother?”
Mrs. Dodson seemed stirred from
a deep dream, but she spoke quick
ly and surely.
“I felt it was a test that we both
should go through. I knew that if
he came back to me our love would
be deeper and fuller. And I think it
has been.”
Her quiet confession brought si
lence to the room, a silence that
remained until Burt and Valerie
rose and said they were going
downtown for dinner. Before they
left, Burt spoke briefly to Mrs.
Dodson in the kitchen, and then
they were off in the same carefree
manner they had left Mr. and Mrs.
Dodson many times before.
When they had gone, Mrs. Dod
son looked at her husband and
said, “They’re going to wait.”
“How do you know?”
“Burt told me in the kitchen.
He said he thought he could make
her understand. He’s a fine boy.”
“Yes, he is,” Mr. Dodson ?aid.
“I wonder if they’ll ever find out
I was never in the army?”
“By the time they do, they’ll
want to thank you for making them
understand,” his wife answered,
with a quiet certainty
'Keep South Carolina Green' Plan
To Be Launched At Columbia Meet
Applications For State Vacation
Cabins Must Be In Before March 1
Applications for cabin reserva
tions for the summer season at
South Carolina’s State Parks are
now being received by the S. C.
State Commission of Forestry,
State Park Director C. West Jac-
ocks has announced.
As in the past, the demand for
these cabins is far greater than
the number of cabins available.
In order to give all families want
ing a cabin an equal chance, a
deadline for receiving applications
is set, and a public drawing is
held to make assignments.
If you and your family want to
reserve a cabin for a week’s va
cation in a State Park you should
make application before March
1. The drawing is held shortly
thereafter.
Applications should be address
ed to the South Carolina State
Commission of Forestry, P. O.
Box 357, Columbia, stating the
park and the week you prefer. Be
cause of the great demand for
the cabins you will have a better
chance of getting one if you give
several choices of parks and dates.
Do not send money with your ap
plication.
Family cabins are located at
seven State Parks. There are
nine at Cheraw State Park, three
at Edisto Beach State Park, five
at Givhans Ferry State Park,
twenty at Oconee State Park, six
at Poinsett State Park, ten at
Table Rock State Park, and five
at Myrtle Beach State Park.
Family cabins have running
water, electric lights, electric kit
chens and are fully equipped ex
cept for bed linen and table sil
ver. Rentals range from $15.00
to $36.00 per week. Because of
the demand, only one week can
be allowed any one family during
the summer months.
If you want to be one of the
750 families who will enjoy a
week’s vacation this summer at
one of the family cabins at South
Carolina’s State Parks, be sure
to send in your application be
fore March 1, State Park Director
Jacocks urged.
A folder describing the State
Park family vacation cabins, and
additional information on State
Park facilities are available from
the S. C. State Commission of
Forestry, Box 357, Columbia.

Dickerson, Inc., of Monroo, N.
has been given the contract
the grading and bituminous sur
facing of 6.987 miles of two sec
ondary roads in Newberry County,
according to a letter of award
from the State Highway Depart
ment. The company’s low bid was
$80,759.33.
The project includes the pav
ing of 5.069 miles of Road S-82
from Road S-SS northerly via SL
Phillips Church to U.S. Route
176 and of 1.868 miles of Road
S-41 from Route 391' easterly to

Agent Points To
Home Accidents
The farm home is the location
of many accidents; but, with a lit
tle extra care and. precaution
many of these accidents can be
prevented, according to the coun
ty home demonstration agent. She
says this is particularly true of
accidents involving household ap
pliances.
The local agent points out that
the National Safety Council’s rec
ords show it is easy to get elec
trocuted or badly shocked if you
happen to contact a defective ap
pliance while your body is ground
ed. She says the council cautions
never to put appliances that use
electricity where they can be con
tacted while you are standing in a
damp place or in actual contact
with water. This is especially haz
ardous when working at the
kitchen sink, or around the bath
tub, or in using the washing ma
chine. If such locations are neces
sary, be sure to ground the ap
pliance.
Other suggestions for safety in
the • use of household appliances
include these points: Many home
makers like to listen to the radio
while doing work in the kitchen
—check to see if the radio in your
kitchen is located far enough from
the kitchen r sink for safety; see
that electric heaters or fans ard
properly guarded; use safety
stands for electric irons; respect
the whirling blades of the electric
beater and mixer; never use fin
gers to feed into grinders, slicers,
or shredders—handy rubber or
plastic paddles are safer for this
purpose.
“Many household appliances
are now being manufactured with
new and approved safety fea
tures,” states the local home dem
onstration agent. “If you are con
sidering buying a new household
appliance, for example, a steam
iron, insist that the salesperson
show you the new safety features,"
she advises.
GEORGETOWN, — Plans for
launching a Keep South Carolina
Green campaign to reduce forest
fire losses were announced here
today by J. E. McCaffrey, chair
man of the South Carolina Forest
Industries Committee.
Mr. McCaffrey said South Caro
lina will officially join the nation
wide Keep Green movement at a
mass meeting of interested citi
zens in Columbia Thursday, Feb.
26. The meeting is expected to be
the largest forest conservation
gathering in the history of the
state, he said.
“More than 5,000 fires are start
ed in our state each year,” Mr.
McCaffrey commented, “Reducing
this waste will be the goal of
Keep South Carolina Green and
the results will benefit every citi
zen.”
E. E. Dargan, prominent Conway
lumberman and civic leader, will
serve as chairman of the Keep
South Carolina Green project, Mr.
McCaffrey said. He explained co
operation had been pledged the
educational program by many
other groups interested in pro
tecting and expanding the state’s
tree crop.
Hailing the announcement that
the industry group would sponsor
Keep South Carolina Green, State
Forester Charles E. Flory of the
S. C. Commission of Forestry said,
“The continuing high number of
forest fires, the acreage burned,
and the dollar losses all indicate
public unconcern regarding this
needless waste.”
Director D. W. Watkins, Clem-
son College Extension Service,
pointing to the success of the
Keep Green educational drives in
other states, predicted “Keep
Green would be tremendously ef
fective in bringing to the atten
tion of individuals the importance
of protecting their forest' lands
from fire.” He pledged the whole
hearted cooperation of the Exten
sion Service.
Mr. McCaffrey said the Colum
bia meeting would begin at 11 a.
m. in Drayton Hall on the Uni
versity campus. He urged all
interested citizens to make plans
to attend. Groups to participate
in the conference, he added, will
include forest industry represen
tatives, landowners, press, radio,
educators, bankers, businessmen,
agricultural organizations, and
women’s groups.

RECALLS AMUSING
HAPPENINGS IN COURT ROOM
(From The Saluda Sentinal)
Many real and unreal stories
take place in a court room. And
a lawyer with a long time exper
ience quite often is a store house
for them. Such is the case of the
Hon. Jeff D. Griffith. He was
down in Bryan county, Georgia
attending court sometime ago.
After the jury was seated fol
lowing the finding the prisoner
guilty the Judge asked the pris
oner, who appeared having a lit
tle vacant spot in the upper story
if he would like to challenge any
of the jury. He replied, “Say,
judge, I think I can lick the lit
tle guy on the end.”
Over at the hotel that evening
a young lady walked into the
lobby. A friend spoke, “Miss
Smith, that’s a very pretty, strap
less evening gown you’re wear
ing. What keeps it up?” Pass
ing on in an unconcerned man
ner, turned and said, “A City
Ordinance.” An hour later Miss
Smith was passing back apd
wished to apologize for the seem
ingly rude manner* and said, “Mr.
Jones I didn’t mean to act indis
creet a moment ago and to cor
rect the error I wish to say, that
I soaked this strapless gown in
real strong coffee to make it stay
up all night”
The next day, Mr. Griffith re
counts, the judge was reprimand
ing a prisoner at the bar and said
to him, “Aren’t you ashamed to
be seen in court so often?” The
prisoner answered, “Why no, your
honor, I always thought it was a
very respectable place.
