I |££§pn(F PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1953' Constancy To Purpose As Benjamin Disraeli, the bril liant English statesman, once said, “The sectfet to sucess is constancy to purpose.” “A part of all you earn is yours to keep. It should not be less than a tenth no matter how little you earn. It can be as much more as you can afford. Pay yourself first. Do not buy ft-om the clothes-maker and the sandal-mak- ©r more than you can pay out of the rest and still have enough for food and charity and pen ance to the Gods. “Wealth, like a tree, grows from a tiny seed. The first cop per you save is the seed from which your tree of wealth shall grow. The sooner you plant that seed the sooner shall the tree grow. And the more faithfully you nourish and water that tree with consistent savings, the soon er you may bask in contentment beneath its shade . . . “Every gold piece you save is a slave to work for you. Every cop per it earns is its child that also can earn for you. If you would become wealthy, then what you save must earn, and its children must earn, and its children’s chil dren must earn, that all may help to give to you the abundance you crave.” Turkey Raising By New Methods Clemson. Feb. 14. Many of the practices now used in turkey pro duction are comparatively new, ac cording to W. B. Nesbit, Clemson extension turkey specialist, who says that remarkable progress has been made in this field in recent years. He points out that it has been only a comparatively short time since turkey growers began artifi cial incubation and brooding of turkeys. As soon as it was found that turkeys could not be success fully raised with chickens, the gateway to mass production of tur keys was opened. In the February Extension Tur key Letter, Mr. Nesbit calls brief attention to a number of other practices recently developed in turkey production. Among, these he lists debeaking, dewinging, the use of estrogens for fattening, and the use of hormones to correct broodiness in turkey hens. He explains that the first two have a practical application wherever needed but that the merits of the last two cannot be vouched for as yet. “Old remedies for correcting feather picking and cannibalism in turkeys, such as feeding cab bage, giving salt in drinking water, etc., have been outmoded by a more recent practice which consists of cutting off about one- third of the upper beak,” he states. “This practice works and should be more widely used" by turkey j growers in this state. Flying | across fences and roosting on farm buildings, in pecan trees, in shade structures, and in shade shelters can be stopped by wing clipping or by wing notching pullets in the early stage of brooding,” he con tinues. “Wing clipping has#been more widely used than wing notch ing, but growers who have tried both say that flying is more com pletely controlled by wing clip ping. “The very newest practice in turkey production is a remedy to stop broodiness inbreeder turkey hens. This practice consists of injecting a female hormone into the breast muscle of broody tur key hens. Its use is limited at this time to the experimental field.

NEWBERRY J federal Savings AND LOAN ASSOCIATION OF NEWBERRY Army Making All-Aluminum Cargo Carrier Army Ordnance officials have released the fact that the first all-aluminum ground vehicle ever mass produced is rolling from as sembly lines at Pontiac Motor Di vision. The vehicle is the highly versatile “Otter,” T46E-1 am phibious cargo carrier, capable of operating in snow, heavy mud, up steep grades, in the water and negotiate practically any terrain. Pontiac has been delivering the “Otter” to Ordnance for nearly a year, following a year of final en gineering, designing and plant tooling. Extreme light weight of the ve hicle has been withheld previously in that it reveals that the army plans the vehicle for non-armOred, non-combat use, and that it can be easily air-borne. Army officials say original mod els were designed over five years ago by General Motors Technical Development and Army Ordnance engineers to fill a gap in modern military transport needs. It is believed to be of particular value in the Artie. Gross weight is lit tle more than four tons, remark ably light for a full truck-sized enclosed carrier. It is powered by an air-cooled four cylinder. engine of the Con tinental Motor family of special Ordnance power plants. The ve hicle will carry about 1% tons of pay load. The vehicle has a top speed of about 28 miles per hour on land, and about 4 miles per hour In water, when propeller driven at the stern. Instructions For Renewing License Sale of new driver licenses for the 1953-57 period begins March 2 and the State Highway Depart ment urges that application be made in person at Highway Patrol district and full-time branch of fices and the main building in Co lumbia rather than by mail. It is expected that the major part of the 800,000 licenses to be renew ed will be sold over the counter rather than by mail, thus saving time and expense for both the driver and the Highway Depart ment. No application for the new four- year period will be filled before March 2. The current licensing period ends June 30 and persons failing to renew their licenses before then will be required to take a driving test. The Highway De partment does not plan to send a notice to each driver that his license expires June 30. Price of the paper-type license suitable for carrying in a billfold is again 50 cents, and that of the metal license is 60 cents. All patrol district and full-time branch offices are equipped to issue the metal as well as the paper license. Residents in codnties where there are only part time patrol offices are asked to apply in person at the nearest full-time office, or mail their applications to Columbia. Motorists applying by mail are asked not to send old licenses to the Highway Department. How ever, the applicant must supply his full name, address, date of birth and serial number .of his present license. Changes in personal data, such as weight or color of hair j should be included in the letter ! of application. Applications by , mail should be accompanied by j check or money order, rather than by cash. Full-time offices are located at Aiken, Anderson, Barnwell, Char leston, Columbia, Conway, Flor ence, Gaffney, Greenville, Green wood, Hampton, Orangeburg, Rock Hill, Sumter and Spartanburg. number of hens was contacted soon after the treatment was given, and he stated that the treat ed birds were not on the nests the first night after receiving the treatment. We suggest that tur key growers watch for further re ports on this practice,” he con cludes. 22 Million Dogs in the U. S. Never Had It So Good Before Let’s face it, the dog is no long er leading a dog’s life While you may wish for a return to the “good old days.” not so cur friend Rover. Why should he? Thanks to advances made in vari ous fields of medicine and nutri tion, man’s best friend can now have a standard of living equal to man’s. All this is not news to the ap proximately 22 million dogs in this country. And not only is the dog’s life safer and healthier today, but his life expectancy has increased, jyst as man’s has. While no offi cial statistics are available, most experts feel that if a pup survives the disease hazards of the first year, and is not run down by an automobile, he can look forward to a ripe old age of 11 or 12. This is due to the great advances that have been made in preventive and therapeutic medicines, in ani mal hospitals and personnel, and in nutrition. » In no other aspect of veterinary medicine have med icaments and preventives been de veloped more rapidly than in the field of canine practice. Rabies, the one-time horror of dogdom, need no longer cause fear and trembling. A new vaccine was developed a little over a year ago and gives solid, lasting immunity against rabies. The so-called “wonder drugs” developed for use in human dis eases, are also playing an impor tant role in elevating the dog’s health standards. The sulfa drugs, penicillin, and aureomycin are used for external and internal in fections Advancement made In recent years in animal nutrition are well known to most people. Whereas Rover once was content with table scraps and an occasional piece of raw meat, today he can turn up his nose at anything less than a daily portion of government-in spected horse meat, or concen- tra&d and fortified dog foods from a tin can with a fancy label. Other nutritional products developed for man, such as vitamins and liver extract, are also fed to dogs. Surprising developments have occurred in the animal hospital field. There are about 2,500 animal hospitals today equipped to take care of 10 or more animals. The latest official listing reveals that there are 12,903 ^licensed veter inarians in this country, 1,135 of whom are in small animal prac tice. All this fine care for dogs may seem silly to some people, but there is this to consider: with prop er care, you may have the com panionship of your dog a few years longer than was possible in the past. Children who grow up with a friendly dog can really appreci ate this. Rover just never had it so good. The Black Taffeta Dress By Rebecca M. Osborn Mary Dunston remembered dis tinctly the expression on her hus band’s face that morning when she had shown him the ad. “But what about the dinner dress you bought last fall? Do styles change that quickly?” “No. but—” “But what?” “Well, the cleaners must have done something to it. It won’t zip.” A1 had looked at her waistline, smiled and said nothing. His si lence was as disturbing as the pun he got off every time she put a little jab on her breakfast toast: “Better watch that middle-age spread.” She had a twinge of conscience as she recaUed her explanation to him. The cleaners might have been careless, but there was also the matter of eight extra pounds that the bathroom scale registered. The extra pounds had got her a new dress during the January sales—a black taffeta with simple, slimming lines. Knowing you had the right thing to wear made it so much easier to finish up the din ner dishes, hustle the children to bed and dress to gc out with your husband to dinner. The dinner was just two weeks away. Mrs. Dunston lifted the dress carefully from the hanger and held it up. It might pass for a size 16. She slipped it over her head and eased the skirt gently down over her hips. When she tried to pull up the zipper it wouldn’t move. She pulled harder and the zipper moved up an inch. She stopped to adjust the waistline and began again. On the outside of the closet door was a full-length mirror Mrs. Dunston stood sidewise to it and looked analytically at her figure. The dress was too tight! At dinner Mary Dunston dug her spoon hard into the last section of a half grapefruit.

It was hard work, but she kept at it—no cream in her coffee, fruit for dessert, no refreshments at sewing club, no mints at afternoon bridge. Four days, five days, six days. She longed for a hot roll at dinner or a single helping of dessert. Two days before the dance she took the black taffeta dress from the closet. The dress slipped on easily She tried the zipper. She could close it without effort. Happily, she stepped in front of the long mirror. The black dress hugged her slimly. ex cept at the hips. There it bagged a little. The skirt was actually too large! Well, her dressmaker, Mrs. Netty, could alter it. Mary Dunston finished the morn ing chores and an hour later knocked on Mrs. Netty’s door. “Good morning, Mrs. Netty.•• “Come in. come in.” Mrs. Netty urged. Mrs. Dunston followed her Into the fitting room and held out the dress. "Can you alter this for me by Saturday? It will have to be taken, in a little at the hips.” Mrs. Netty’s quick fingers with their rough, knobby joints went over the seams of the dress rap idly She lay back the sash and looked at the zipper. She nodded wisely. “Taking it in again?” she asked. Mrs. Dunston looked at her sharply. “Again?’ she asked. “Why. yes Your husband brought this dress in two weeks ago Said you’d like it smaller at the waist. If it isn’t right I’ll make' good on it But I took it down a whole size then!” Four Million Acres To Grass Clemson, Feb. 14. The acreage devoted to grassland farming in South Carolina in 1952 was 4,301.- 367 acres, according to a summary of estimates submitted by county agents and summarized by the Clemson Extension Agronomy De partment. Hugh A. Woodle, lead er, Clemson Agronomy Extension Work, points out that these esti mates are the best and only in formation available ou much of the acreage. Of the total acreage reported 1,169.395 acres were planted to small grains, of which 881,100 acres were planted to oats; 185,475 acres were planted to wheat; 47,- 050 acres to barley; and 55,770 acres were planted to rye . A total of 562,115 acres were de voted to annual grazing crops, of which 350,920 acres were used for annual winter grazing crops and 211,195 acres for summer graz ing. Other acreages included improv ed • permanent pastures, 895,737 acres; unimproved permanent pas ture^, 1,333,900 acres; supplemen tary’ grazing, 80,980 acres; hay, 636,737 acres; and grassland crops harvested for seed, 227,116 acres. Mr. Woodle explains that the acreage listed as improved per manent pasture includes only acre ages which were fenced and on which at least one or more recom mended pasture practices had been carried out. He adds that the total grassland acreage does not include acreages planted to corn for grain or silage, sorghum for forage ^ar silage, or corn or sorghum with velvet beaq^ for winter forage. “All small grain acreage Is con sidered as grassland farming acre age,” he states. “Many livestock farmers clean up crop residues by running cattle on harvested fields, but this acreage is not included. Also, in the rotation of crops it is estimated that 604,613 acres were double-cropped, and this acreage is included only once in the actual acreage devoted to grassland farm ing as shown in the total. South Carolina farmers are certainly to be congratulated on the outstand ing progress being made in grass land farming as shown by the sum mary,” he adds.

And it has lowered many men in the eyes of God. The proud, the selfish, the avari cious do not fit into the Christian picture. Christ was humble and he did not hold out any hope for the man who was excessively proud. The proud man believes, in a way, that he is specially favored and God will look down upon him and relax the rules a little for him. That man is almost beyond hope. Because God has no favorites and He will judge all equally. The proud may pretend to pay homage to God; but they will go away unwelcomed and unreward-, ed because they lack the one gift he expects of all—a true loyalty of heart, mind and soul. But the man who kneels before Him with a humble and chase heart He will reward a thousand fold. And for those who have not even tried to shake off the shackles of pride and sin. He can only turn away in disappointment and grief.
