Spring Brings New, Attractive Stockings
———tnii i ■ wrr m n
BY EDNA MILES
'J'HE fashion influence of this Coronation Year has made itself
felt, particularly in pretty accessories. In hosiery, it has pro
duced a spring shade in gossamer sheer stockings called
“pageantry.”
Other shades bow to the Coronation, too. These range from a
glowing sun tone that blends with toast, and caramel colors
through crown taupe for gray, violet and the muted blues. Crest
beige is for light browns and greens, jewel blond for medium
blues, variations of green and flame reds and majesty tan plus
a rose-tinted hue for pastel colors and white.
In the interests of a slender ankle, there are many tapered heel
treatments this spring. One treatment is the outline heel with
dark seam. Another is a slender black heel and foot with a shadow
outline. There’s also a heel within a heel.
A new stocking has been developed especially for the life of the
housewife. It’s meant to reduce the high cost of hosiery.
With patented built-in garter block at the top of the seam that
allows gartering-in directly on the seam, this stocking will now
shift even with bending and stretching. Better still, it has run-
resistant properties that reduce runs and snags to a minimum.
Bicycling is a hazard to hosiery
as a rule. But this girl wears
laboratory -tested stockings
that are run and snag-resistant.
They come in proportionate
lengths for various sizes.
For the Coronation Year there
are these new stockings in a
shade called “p a g e a n t r y.”
Gossamer sheerness is com
bined with a new color tone for
a fashionable spring look.

LITTLE THINGS
In the 4-H clubs, at their camps,
rally days, and the like our farm
boys and girls are taught many
things. Some might look like
small things. But they all add
up to better living and the making
of better men and women there.
Here are just three items I
caught from a recent report of
the Negro home agent of Florence
county:
A total of 176 4-H club mem
bers placed tops on their home
garbage cans, where no tops ex
isted before. Building for better
health there.
Seventy-two made wood boxes
with legs on ’em to save stooping
when getting wood to put in the
stove. Labor saving.
And 89 picked up and removed
all old tin cans and other ac
cumulated trash from around thir
homes. Beautification.
And so on they go. the projects
that the 4-H clubs adopt and carry
out.
These clubs, black and white,
need good adult leaders. Some
have ’em. But some don’t. Here’s
a chance to display some good
practical community spirit, by
pitching in there and helping the
kids make their 4-H clubs really
effective. The kids and your
county agehts will be glad to have
you talk with them about it.
USE THESE
Our Weather Bureau now puts
out extended weather reports.
These are a lot more accurate
than we can guess the weather.
In fact they seldom miss a direct
prediction. But on the limited
ones they do miss some. For in
stance they might call for scat
tered showers. They might come
or might not come right where
you are. But at least you will
know to look for at least a threat
of rain. But when they call for
fair weather or rain direct, they
seldom miss.
With many operations on the
farm, we can use these reports
with profit. In fact we try to
look at the weather as it is be
fore doing certain things like cut
ting hay, spraying or dusting
crops, and the like. But most of
us know very little about what s
going to happen when we scan the
skies as best we can. But our
Weather Man looks away beyond
our knowledge or vision. And his
predictions are remarkably accu
rate.
Another coming thing we can
well use these reports in connec
tion with is irrigation. It might
be ever so hot and dry right
now. But if he is calling for
general rains in your area several
days hence, you can save money
and trouble by waiting for it. And
just the opposite when he still
calls for sunny skies ahead.
These reports are readily avail
able. I’m sure our newspapers
and radio stations will be glad to
carry them for us at regular times
and places, if we let ’em know
we’d like to have ’em. They
practically all now carry the day
to day reports. But the extended
ones are not'generally given now.
‘GRASS ROOTS AMBASSADORS’
The nations of the free world
are doing a lot to build under
standing and cement their people
together. A part of this effort is
in the International Farm Youth
Exchange. Through it, farm boys
and girls 20 to 30 years of age,
and meeting certain requirements,
are sent from the various coun
tries to live and work for several
months with a farm family in
another country.
The first two youngsters to go
(from South Carolina were former
1 star 4-H club members and both
are now enrolled at Clemson. They
are: Bennie Wiggins of Richland
county, who soon goes to Switzer
land, and Fred McLaughlin, Jr.,
of Florence county, who goes at
the same time to live with farm
families in England and Wales.
And, likewise, we are getting
several from other countries along
to live with farm families in South
Carolina. In all cases they live
with the family, help with the
work, participate in church and
educational activities, just like
they were a member of the family.
Leaving in June, our two boys
won’t get back until the fall se
mester of school is well along. So
they will skip that and come back
at the beginning of the next se
mester. But in the meantime they
will not be idle. They will tell
their stories to service clubs and
various other groups over the
state until they come back to
school.
My, how I'd have liked to have
done a thing like that! Bet I’d
have never finished writing and
talking about it. So I expect you
are glad.
MRS. BOYD TO SAIL
FOR YOKOHOMA
Mrs. Hugh King Boyd, Jr., and
two sons, Jim and Hugh King,
will leave on June 7 for San
Francisco, California, where they
will sail about the 12th of June for
Yokohoma to join Major Boyd to
make their home while Major
Boyd is on duty in the Far East.

I DON’T particularly like cats.
Especially, John Alden, the big
Persian that the boys own and who
rules the house. I just leave him
strictly alone.
Miss Fannie, our ^ nosey neigh
bor, doesn’t like cats either, but
she’s not so smart. She didn’t have
sense enough to ignore him. For
years she has been running him
out of her yard. The other day she
added her brother’s dog to her
campaign.
I’m watching through the hedge
as she brings out this big dog on
a leash. She sees the cat and sics
the dog on him. John Alden went
up a tree. When the dog got be
neath him he leaped on the dog’s
back and went to work. The dog
fled dragging Miss Fannie.
In a few minutes John Alden
came strutting back. He spies Miss
Fannie picking herself up and rub
bing her bruised knees. John
arched his back and started stalk
ing her. Miss Fannie fled. This
time she went up the tree.
For ten minutes she hung on
without a murmur while John Al
den sat looking up at her. Every
time she started down he would
arch his back and howL Up she
would go again.
Finally she let out a scream for
help and I poked my head through
the hedge.
“Take this beast away,” she
screams. “Now he starts attack
ing people.”
“What did-you do to him?” says
L
“Nothing,” says she.
“Good-bye,” says I and went
into the house.
At supper time John Alden came
home with a satisfied look on his
face. I fed him hamburger instead
of canned dog food. When he fin
ished I got up and gava him my
easy chair.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
Zeke and I got warts over our
feet one summer.
We had been told not to play
with frogs. Folks in our Stone
Hills of the Dutch Fork believed
firmly that they would make warts
come on you. Or we kids thought
they did, they impressed it on us
so. But in later years I’ve won
dered if that wasn’t just a way
they had of trying to get us kids
to let those useful creatures alone.
Anyway, we belived it. But the
lure to play with the frogs that
you could see jumping around the
farmyard at dusk was too great
for us. Late one afternoon we
caught about a half dozen and
put ’em in fruit jars so we’d have
’em next morning. We didn’t put
the tops on. So they were all
right next morning.
We took our treasure away
down in the pasture and got down
in a deep ditch where no one could
see us. There in the clean, hard
red clay ditch we played with
those frogs all morning. We’d get
opposite each other facing, so
they couldn’t get by, and make
them try to climb the steep banks.
They couldn’t get but so far. And
then they’d slip back. Eventually
they got so tired of being tor
mented, they just wouldn’t try,
and lay there panting heavy.
Eventually the farm bell, toll
ing across the hills, called the
noon hour of dinner. We left
them there and went home. Re
turning in the afternoon, they
were gone.
It was later that we had those
warts to come on our feet, quite by
coincidence, I’m sure. » But we
just knew those frogs caused it.
Zeke’s mother beat him. Even
though he stoutly held out that
he had not played with frogs, his
mother just knew he had and gave
it to him. Then she took him and
me down to old Aunt Liza’s. She
was the old Colored conjure wo
man, and she “used for them.”
That constituted a few secret
mumblings and rubbing the black
bottom of a frying pan over the
warts. And, as they would have
done anyway, I guess, they went
away gradually after that.
Zeke and I were then more
strongly rooted in the belief than
ever. And we let frogs alone from
then on.

S OME people are of the opin
ion that we in the insurance
" business provide only indi
vidual protection for the policy
holder. Some of us fail to realize
the great contribution made by
insurance companies toward the
protection of the nation.
During World War II insur
ance companies invested approx
imately $22 billion in U. S. Gov
ernment securities, primarily
war bonds.
Not only did we contribute to
America’s war effort, but an ad
ditional $1^ billion were invest
ed in the preservation of Democ
racy through financial assist
ance to our allies. Truly, every
man who shoulders a gun, every
plane that flies, every ship that
sails; yes, every military force
that strikes a death blow against
the enemies of Democracy, is
supported by our industry.
Let there be no mistake about
it, our military contribution to
Democracy has equaled that of
any other business.
The above is not written in a
spirit of boastfulness, but rather
as an inspiration to our employ
ees, and as information to th*
public generally.

"Founded on Faith—Dedicated to Service"
COLUMBIA, S. C.
St. Andrews, formed in 1696
ready to become parish again.
Charleston—St. Andrews Episco
pal Church near Charleston is about
to assume full parish status again
after a lapse of about 60 years.
Located on the Ashley River on
the River Road leading to Magnolia
Gardens, its parish was organized
in 1696, when the church yard and
grounds were laid out and the
present grove of massive live oaks
planted.
Construction of the church be
gan almost immediately and was
completed in 1706. Enlargement,
earned out in 1722-23, made the
building in the form of a cross.
Fire in 1763 severely damaged
the church, which was immediately
remodeled. Many of the present day
furnishings date from that period.
Further remodeling was earned out
in 1856.
The Rev. Alex Wood is thought
to have been the first rector of St.
Andrews Parish, which at the time
of its beginning embraced about 180
Charleston County families.
The Rev. John Grimke Drayton,
famed as the developer of Magnolia
Gardens, served the church from
1851 until his death in 1891, when
the parish became dormant. From
that time until 1946 the church was
unused except for occasional serv
ices, weddings or funerals.
In 1923 the exterior was repaired
by addition of a metal roof, the
work carried out by the Society of
Colonial Dames.
St. Andrews was reactivated in
1946 with eight active members,
and two years later the interior was
restored. Growth since then has
brought the membership to 150 with
a fully-organized Church School,
Men’s Club, Ladies’ Auxiliary and
Altar Guild.
Landscaping has been started
for a modern cemetery adjoining
the old Church yard. Construction
is underway on a Parish house cost
ing about $20,000.
The Rev. Lynwood C. Magee is
minister in charm. Plans call for St.
Andrews to seek full parish status
in 1954.
Longest Blow
Babe Ruth is considered to have
hit the longest homer on record—
a 600-foot blow at Biggs Stadium
in Detroit in 1926—and another of
587 feet in 1919 at Tampa, Florida.
The Yankees’ young centerfielder,
Mickey Mantle, has just hit one
that will go into the record hooks
—562 feet over the bleachers in
left-centerfield and out of the
Washington park . . . Babe Didrik-
son Zaharias underwent a four-
hour operation for the removal of
a malignancy growth and was re
ported in a good condition. One of
her doctors said that if things go
as well as it looks she could take
part in athletics again . . . Adverse
weather on opening day cut back
attendance at American and Na
tional league games. The totals,
considerably lower than former
years were: American League—
77,232; National League — 87,233.
Original attendance estimates
were for some 22,000 to sit in on
the eight contests.
BIG HOMER . . . Mickey Man
tle, Yankee heavy hitter, holds
ball he hit 562 feet over wall st
Griffith stadium against Sena
tor’s Chuck Stobbs. Mickey’s
right-handed blow is second to
Babe Rath’s 600 foot clout.
