FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1953 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE SEVENS Red Cross Continues Drive For $93 Million in 1953 WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Red Cross, by tradition the source to which Americans most often turn when in difficulties, has not yet reached its $93,000,000 goal for 1953, E. Roland Harriman reports. As a result he has asked Red Cross leaders across the country to con tinue the drive in an effort to meet the' goal. Asserting his belief that the pub lic would not intentionally fail those who must depend upon che Red Cross for help, Mr. Harriman says vital responsibilities of the organ ization will be gravely affected unless the goal can be reached. “Men in service,’ he empha sized, “depend upon the Red Cross Sor help—disaster victims look to us for assistance—the wounded in Korea and the civilian sick at home need the blood collected by the Red Cross. Also this year and next there will be great need for gam ma globulin to prevent the par-' alysis caused by polio. “These are the needs which must be met with funds now being collected by volunteers in the name of the Red Cross. May I urge ev ery American to accept his share of our responsibilities by contrib uting as much as possible now.” Mr. Harriman said the pace of the drive was slowest in smaller cities and rural communities and he urged people in suburban areas not yet reached by solicitors to mail their contributions to their nearest Red Cross chapter or to send it direct to American Red Cross national headquarters in Washington, D. C. FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist “Pirate House” Played Host To 18th Century Buccaneers " ■' m w 1 ’ ■ • • • • •'<*Xv 0 '■3 KataaaeeA - ^^^wSSfiKSpooc This typical old Charleston “double-house” on the Southern boundary of St. Phillips church yard on Church Street, was head quarters for pirates early in the 18th century when they were still “welcome” in South Carolina. At least that is the legend which has been told about this lovely house down through the years. There is some conflict among historians as to whether or not this is the whole truth. But the evi dence is strong to support it for it was near this place that after pirates were “no longer welcome” a record of 49 of them swung from the gallows in one month. And in a single day history tells us that 22 ghastly figures dangled there, including the no torious outlaw of the high seas. Stede Bonnet. The Pirate House and its lovely side gardens are maintained today and the house serves as a private residence. The house was described by Julian Street in American Adven tures as a “perfect example of a French village, stucco walls, tinted and chipped, red tile roof and all”. It is believed to have been erected by early French Huguenots. During the days of the pirate sashays on seagoing vessels, these buccaneers were welcome protec tion against the Spanish who were a constant threat to the security of early Charlestonians. The pirates not only stayed the Spanish from any conquest attempts, but they also spent their “loot” freely in the city.

E. Turner JEWELER Caldwell St. Newberry DAIRY IMPROVEMENT Last year 1,409 dairy cows were artifically bred in Newberry coun ty. Their man who handle's this, Ed Freeman, received ‘ a certifi cate for being the outstanding technician in the state in 1952, County Agent Ezell tells me. Fast dairy cattle improvement is coming over South Carolina where these artificial breeding as sociations operate. This enables local farmers to do away with the trouble, danger and expense of keeping bulls. And the service they get comes from the superior bulls kept at Clemson for this purpose. Thus the average farmer is able to get far better bull ser vice than he would otherwise af ford. And, since the bull is half the herd, when it comes to in heritance, this improvement in the sires of our dairy cattle is giving us rapid improvement in the qual ity of our cattle. If your county does not have this service, and you are interest ed, see your county agent. He will be glad to help organize your local prospect for an association. In some cases, two or more count ies go together and hire one technician. SOUTH LEADS IN PULPWOOD It must have been about 20 years ago. \^hile in Savannah I visited the laboratory there where Dr. Hurty was experimenting in the making of paper from South ern pine. Up to then it had not been done. And our needs of that sort of paper had to come from somewhere else. He succeeded. And then the paper mills started moving South. The formerly practically worthless young new growths of pine be came valuable and folks started buying them up, where vast areas of them had been taken for taxes. Ruinous cutting practices prevail ed for awhile. But now improve ment cuttings are being made and seed trees are usually left where a heavy cut is desired. In 1951 the South produced 56 percent of the pulpwood of this country. And now that figure is likely still higher. And it all came from basic re search done there in his little laboratory in Savannah by Dr. Hurty. PUR RANGE LANDS Our government owns 170 mil lion acres of range lands out West. Most of that is the dryest and roughest out there. From grazing, timber, and mining op erations, it yields but 25 cents per acre per year. So you know its barren. Imagine grazing land that yields but 70 pounds of dry forage per acre a year. That's what it does. Cattlemen lease the grazing privi leges on much of it. But that has to be watched very close, or even that wil be destroyed and the land will erode faster. While riding through the al most endless reaches of that parched expanse, I was told that much of that land was very fertile. Ail it needed was water. But at present there is no prospect for available water in hundreds and hundreds of miles of that vast dry area. If some source of water were to suddenly open up for it, we would see a whole new empire grow there in the now sparse Western Range country. - Water, water, what valuable stuff it is! We just now begin to appreciate it here, where a good ly portion of. our abundance of it is allowed to run off. And then our crops parch and burn for the lack of it, when the frequent droughts strike. But that is chang ing, thanks be! BOYS ARE THAT WAY LUCY AND FAMILY . . . Lucille Ball, motion picture, radio and TV star, presents her two children, Lucie Desiree Arnes, 20 months, and 3-month-oid Desiderio Alberto Arnes IV. Occasion was chris tening of little Desiderio. I always liked to go down to Aunt Vennle’s. She was a great aunt that lived at the ancestral home down the valley that was Eleazer’s Tavern back In stage coach days. She was the kindliest of souls. I never heard her speak a harsh word. She hadn’t had It easy. She raised a large family, and her husband had been an officer In the Confederate Army. I never saw her idle, and her patience knew no bounds. She saw to it that abundance came from the rather unyielding stone hills around her. And her garden and orchard and flowers and food patches were al ways ample. And no visitor left her house without carrying some of that bounty away. She never failed to have some sort of goodie for a kid that drop ped in, and I'd go down there as often as my folks would let me. I liked her pantry best, for there is where the tempting viands were. Next best I liked her large half story upstairs room in the older part of the rambling house. You entered it by an angular and cramped stairway that went up from the company room. Up there was kept the accumu lated trivia of the years. I’ll bet now a lot of that stuff would be valuable. All sorts of old papers, pictures, books, saddle bags, and Uncle John’s equipment, uniforms, etc. She would let me go up and rummage around in there to my heart’s content. I know I must have left things in a mighty mess. But everytime I went back, it had all been straightened out again. Since they had a large family, they baked bread everyday. They had the last of the Dutch ovens I ever saw in actibn. It was a brick affair out under a shed. They would build a big fire in it, getting the brick hot. Then the fire and ashes were all raked out, and the place filled with pies and cakes, and the door tightly closed. Then that tireless cooker did a job that anyone who ever experienced theip will tell you has never been matched as an oven. The tough crusted, pully Mixed Bread they cooked in there was tops In eat ing for us. When I would eventu ally leave for home, she would cut a crescent shaped piece from the side of one of those warm loaves, paste the holes full of fresh- churned butter, over-lay that with blackberry jelly, and up the path I would go. And the road to Paradise could be no sweeter than that path through the pasture was then. vu* POPPY FOR PRESIDENT . . .
