We liked ’possum huntin’ a lot. It had many appeals. Just to be out in the wild woods at night, with a flaming lightwood torch to scare the goblio away, was something. The lure of the darkness, with night things on the prowl, called to a spirit of high adventure. The frosted fields that sparkled and crackled under foot, the soft silence of winter woods, carried a soothing harmony to the nights of us country boys, as we roamed the stone hills of the Dutch Fork. After we tried a bit, at some secluded spot in a depression, we raked the woodland ccver back, making us a bed of it, and built a fire. There we reared back against that leafy cushion toasting our toes and ’taters by the fire. And it was then that many a tall tale was told, as the crackling fire revealed the eerie recesses of the night woods around us. As far as the benevolent light reach ed we felt free to go and fetch wood for the fire. But the further we got from that lighter spot the more obvious the shadows grew, and we would hurry back with our loads. Eventually the ’haters were done in the hot ashes and coals. Eating them called for water. We found that nearby in tho branch of clear, uncontaminated running water. Breaking the ice, we would drink from it lying down on the rocky bank. We often carried peanuts too that we roasted on the hard earth there by the fire. Dirt, ashes, and often burnt hulls too made little difference to us there in our paradise in the night woods. We lingered late. Cocks crowing across the hill in the distance were all we had to mark the leav ing hour of mdnight. And when we hit the feather bed up in the half-story, we needed no rocking to sleep. Morning came soon, with the scraping of ham gravy from the skillet downstairs in the kit chen. That was our warning that food would be on the table short ly, and we lost no time then. We your i * si M J* \ r If you are over 21 (or under 101) it’s none too soon for you to follow the example of our hero, Ed Parmalee, and face the life-saving facts about Cancer as presented in our new film “Man Alive!”. You’ll learn, too, that cancer is not unlike serious engine trouble—it usually gives you a warning: (1) any sore that does not heal (2) a lump or thickening, in the breast or elsewhere (3) unusual bleeding or discharge (4) any change in a wart or mole (5) persistent indigestion or difficulty in swallowing (6) persistent hoarseness or cough (7) any change in normal bowel habits. While these may not always mean cancer, any one of them should mean a visit to your doctor. Most cancers are curable but only if treated in time! You and Ed will also learn that until science finds a cure for all cancers your best “insurance” is a thorough health examination every year, no matter how well you may feel—twice a year if you are a man over 45 or a woman over 35. For information on where you can see this film, call us or write to “Cancer” in care of your local Post Office. m ■m,. American Cancer Society MAN ALIVE! is the story of Ed Parmalee, whose fear is revealed in the denial, sarcasm and anger he uses to avoid going to a doctor to check a symp tom that may mean cancer. He finally learns what a difference it makes (in his peace of mind and in his disposition) to know how he can best guard himself and his family against death from cancer. The South Carolina National Bank Hampton Appointed Wildlife Chairman Officials of the National Wild life Federation, Washington, D. C., announced that Harry R. E. Hamp ton, of Columbia has been appoint ed South Carolina chairman for National Wildlife Week, March 15-21. Purpose of the Week, an annua) observance since 1938, is to call attention of the nation to the pro blem of squandered natural re sources in the United States. The National Wildlife Federa tion, a non-profit organization fi nanced through the sale of its yearly issues of wildlife stamps in color, represents together with its affiliates in 46 states—more than 4,009,000 sportsmen and conserva tionists. Affiliate organization in this state is the South Carolina Wildlife Federation, 55 Arcade, Columbia. Each year the Federation calls attention to a species of wild bird or animal life which is threatened with extinction. This year’s symbol of wasted resources is the prairie chicken, or pinnated grouse. Once plentiful, the color ful bird now is found in relatively small numbers in approximately 15 Midwestern and Southwestern states. In an effort to help save the re maining flocks of the grouse, the Federation has appointed a group of specialists to the National Com mittee on the Prairie Chicken. Headed by R. A. Brown, Jr., at torney of St. Joseph, Missouri, the former chairman of the Missouri Conservation Commission, the committee is preparing a detailed report on steps which may be taken to arrest the disappearance of the bird. Natibnal chairman for the Week is Ed Dodd, popular wildlife artist and conservation leader. Author of the outdoors adventure strip, “Mark Trail,” Mr. Dodd also is a lecturer and radio personality.

The Ha- waiians themselves are immi grants. The decks of their double canoes brought the first domestic animals and much plant life. The sugar cane and pixp&ppte grown now were transplanted from other tropical islands. Because 68 per cent of husbands now do some grocery shopping at least once a week, manufacturers are starting to design packages that will appeal equally to men and to women. The newest trend is to ward colors not “too dainty” for a man’s taste. * One of the first attempts in the United States to protect children at work was a Massachusetts law in 1842, which limited the working day to 10 hours for children under 12 years of age. Annual value of production in the United States and western Eu rope is on the order of five times as great as that of all underde veloped areas of the world com bined. Passenger cars actually are working tools for two-thirds of the households in this country. Some 200,000 service stations exist to keep them running. The total oil energy used in farm ing is about 790 million horsepow er, which is more than that used by all other American industries.

Sports Afield By TED RESTING A woodsman is known by the time it takes him to light his fire with materials on hand in the woods. Here are some fire-build ing hints from Col. Townsend Whelen, one of our top authorit ies on camping and woodcraft. If birch grows in your locality the very best kindling is birch bark. Next in order are shavings from pine pitch, then shavings from any dry sticks you find on old stumps, sticking up off the ground or the lower dead branches of standing trees. Long chips can also be split from any standing dead tree and reduced to shav ings. First lay a piece of bark about 8x10 inches, or a pile of shavings the size of a football; on top of that a pile of dry sticks, possible half an inch in diameter, prefer ably split. Then light from the bottom and, when it Is going well but not before, add heavier sticks, then heavier dry wood or logs. You cannot start a fire with any thing green. In the pelting rain or heavy snow you may have to shelter the whole operation under your coat, a poncho, or a dry place under a big spruce. Of course, there are a multitude of ways to start a fire, as anyone who visits picnic or public camp grounds can see for himself. In the realm of camping ' there is probably no one thing that is so often mismanaged as the camp fire. A poor fire causes all kinds of troubles. I can’t close without a word about safety. Never start a fire where it will spread dan gerously. Wind can carry a spark an unbelievable distance. Once in a high wind a mere spark ignited dry grass a 100 yards from my own fire, although I had thorough ly cleared the ground for 25 yards windward. If we had not. ex tinguished that fire promptly, 20,- 000 acres of virgin timber would have gone up. A spark so small you would never notice it, settling in a pine- needle covrered forest floor, can start a smoldering fire that could go unnoticed for many hours and might cause a full-fledged forest fire. Before you leave that fire place put the fire dead out—dead as a doornail.
