It is also a good time to improve fire safety in your community. Firemen report that the base ment is the most dangerous spot in the house as far as fires are concerned. If your homo was in spected today the firemen would look for piles of waste papers, oily rags or discarded furniture. They would examine your ash barrel—it should be metal. Then they would turn their attention to furnaces, stoves or smoke pipes close to combustible ceilings or par tition. Charring of wood, blistering of paint, or wood that is hot when you hold your hand against it, are signs that the temperature in that area is dangerously high. Your gas appliances would be inspected, to be sure there are no conditions which might cause gas leaks or explosion. Your chimneys would get a going over from the inside. Wooden beams extending into chimney walls have started many fires. If you have work rooms in the basement, they would get their share of attention, to be sure there are no shavings on work benches, and that paints, varnishes, oils and turpentine are correctly stored. Electrical distribution channels and fuses, which are usually in stalled in the basement, would be examined for proper fusing. In most cases, 15 ampere fuses would be used. Winding up the inspection tour, they would check to see that the spaces at the bottom of wall studs are tightly fire-stopped to prevent a basement fire from spreading in to the walls and up to other rooms. During 1952 fire damaged or de stroyed approximately $784,953,000 worth of property in the United States. Measured in dollars, the losses are at an all-time high for the second consecutive year. Since 1935 when fire losses amounted to $235 million, they have increased 3.3 times. These facts point up the need for continuous attention to fire pre vention and to community partici pation in spring Clean-up activi ties. On the farm front, the fire hazard is greater today than ever before. The modern farms have all the fire hazards of a machine shop, fac tory, gasoline station and paint shop. Today's mechanized farm makes wide use of gasoline-operated ma chinery and electrical equipment, all of which have created many new fire hazards that must be safe guarded against by the farmer. • And it is important to note that farm fires frequently result in to tal loss because of inadequate water supplies. Clean up on the farm and clean yp the home is a wise spring prac tice. WEEKLY CROSSWORD PUZZLE n Ex-Cabinet Member Answer HORIZONTAL 1,8 Former U. S.

M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist BEEF HERDS County Agent Cain of Calhoun has a county map on the wall of his office that looks like a Christ mas tree with red tacks. Those tacks locate the beef cattle herds over the county, 150 of ’em. Now, for a small county, and one of the best cotton areas in the state, that’s real progress with cattle, and the consd^uent Grass land Farming, in quite recent years. And I noticed how evenly those tacks were distributed. Not just a few communities putting in some beef cattle along with crops there. But a goodly sprinkling of 'em everywhere. Similar growth with cattle has marked most counties of late. Now that cattle prices have gone down some, I wonder how that’s going to affect it? Our livestock specialists tell u^ that plenty of feed is the first essential for success with live stock. Learn to supply that the year around, and they feel we can keep a sizeable hunk of the live stock business here through the ups and downs of time. But, 'when the prices get lo*^ that’s the test ing time. “More Efficient Farm ing’’ has been adopted by our State Agricultural Committee as the motto for 1953. And well might we apply that to our live stock ventures. BETTER MARKETING Marketing is the final phase of farming endeavors. Most of us use better methods and know more about growing stuff than selling it. Sometime ago I stopped by Amick’s little poultry dressing plant there on his farm out of Batesburg towards Saluda. He said he and. his son were dressing about 6,000 a week. And he went on to say that the local market re ports that Clemson had put on the radio and in the papers for a lohg time sure had done a lot of good as far as the producer was con cerned. He said there was a time that you could get poultry pro ducts for just almost any price deep out in the country districts. But not so now. By noon each day they know not only what chickens or eggs were worth last week or yesterday but today! And therefore now local* prices were kept right on the line and there is but one price. BUSINESS MEN Bill Camp said he hated to hear anyone refer to "farmers and busi ness men.’’ He prefers “farmers and other business men.” For surely, they are business men too. And ufiless they were good ones, they would have been out of business long ago. Many who were not have moved on. FARM ORGANIZATIONS v Are you a member of one of our great farm organizations? Two of them operate in this state, the Farm Bureau and the Grange. Farffi folks are liable to forget the service these organizations have been to them in the past. And, doing that, we also fail to see the growing need for them in the present and future. I make no attempt to catalog their benefits of the past here now. But I will remind all that it was the Grange that battle- whanged for rural free delivery of mail. It was strongly opposed at first, but finally prevailed. To come a little nearer home and closer up to now, your state Farm Bureau championed the gasoline tax refund on farm used gas, and they championed the for mation of the state marketing commission. Dave White, Earl Taylor, and Dave Holmes were the moving spirits behind that, I un derstand. And the county, units have piany good deeds to their credit too. For instanse, in An derson they championed the agri cultural building, which is perhaps the best one in the nation. Both of these were 100 percent state and county projects respectively. And one could go on and on list ing benefits that have come from our farm organizations on na tional, state, and local levels. *But we don’t have room for that here. I just want to ask again, are you a member? AT LOMINICK’S DRUG STORE PRESCRIPTIONS ARE CALLED FOR AND DELIVERED PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED BY LICENSED DRUGGIST PHONE 981 FOUR PAIRS FILL HOUSE . . .

Paysinger, Distributor WARM SPRINGS, Ga.—Special invitation to youth groups in the Carolinas to visit the Little White House, Georgia home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, this spring, is extended by the manager, J. E. Smenner. Members of 4-H, Boy and Girl Scoots, Campfire, FFA, FHA, grammar and high schools and Sunday School classes — in fact, any groups — will find warm welcome. No Southern shrine inspires visit ors more deeply or possesses greater charm, in the opinion of thou sands who have visited it, than this simple cottage nestling here in the natural woods of Pine Mountain. Surrounded by wild azaleas among the pines, it is especially lovely in spring. Here may be seen how a great man lived close to nature and why he loved the South. Nearly everything is just as he left it, except that the original of the famous “Unfinished Portrait”, by Mme. Elizabeth Shoumatoff, for which he was posing when stricken, stands on its easel in the living- dining room, and a Memento Room has been added in the basement for display of many gifts, personal belongings and memorials from all over the world. School and charter bpses are common sights in the large free parking area at the entrance. Picnic tables and benches surround the area and a snack bar in the souvenir shop serves soft drinks. The regular admission fee is 75c, but to groups a special rate of 25c is made. The Little White House is state owned but is self supporting through gate receipts and souvenir sales. It is operated by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Warm Springs Memorial Commission, of which Chas. F. Palmer, of Atlanta, is chairman. Guides are always on hand.
