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

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.

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.

In Hawaii only the climate and
the scenery are native. 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

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.
