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.

“Pirate House” Played Host
To 18th Century Buccaneers

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.

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.
