Clean-Up Week Is Good Time
To Eliminate Fire Hazards
Thousands of communities will
conduct Clean-Up Week some time
this spring in an effort to beautify
the town and make it a healthier
place in which to live. 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.

CAROLINAS' YOUTH GROUPS INVITED
TO LITTLE WHITE HOUSE THIS SPRING
FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. 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?

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. Open every day in the year, • a. m. tQ S pw bl
Its Great Name Makes Its Price Remarkable!
Consider the respect in which the name Pontiac is held
—consider that it’s priced right next to the lowest and
you’ll quickly see that here’s the greatest car value of all.
That’s because Pontiac has always been deliberately engi
neered to provide features of the costliest cars at a price
any new car buyer can afford. j
You see proof of this in Pontiac’s distinctive Dual-Streak
styling, its^ong wheelbase, its easy-to-handle power and
its long-lasting economy.
Come in and let us show you why so low a price on SO,
great a car represents a truly remarkable value, f
