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. One breeder who treated a

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.

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. Al, across the

table, was taking a second slice of
cherry pie.
“On a diet?” Al asked. There
was a curious, half-smile on his
face.
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.

.EXCESSIVE PRIDE
Excessive pride has Caused the
downfall of many men in the world
ly sense. 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.
