' * ■ - PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1953 The Great Fight A great fight Is tn progress among turf writers, horsemen and spectators. Thousands of those who witnessed the greatest horse race of them all, the Kentucky Derby, are convinced that Native Dancer is one of the great horses of all time, even if he did lose the race that would have made him immor tal to the turf world. The Ironic thing about the race was that Dark Star, the winner, was beaten by Money Broker, who finished eighth to the Derby, in the Florida Derby only five weeks before the run for the rosea. Money Broker de feated Dark Star by 16 lengths. The Preakness and the Belmont stakes should settle the argument for once and all, but It Is hot argument -while It lasts. Those who saw the race (at Louisville) contend the bumping Native Dancer received on the first turn cost the colt four lengths. Be that aS it may, the fact remains it was a fast Derby, only t/6 of a second off the record. It takes a lot of horse to do that. Brutal Battle The Jimmy Carter-Tommy Col lins fight is causing a big stink in the boxing world. It was, in the minds of most sport writers, the most cruel and uneven battle in boxing history. Robert K. Christen- berry, chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission, went so far as to say “everything we’ve done to make it a clean, competi tive sport they’ve (Massachusetts Boxing Commission and officials) thrown to the wind.” The crowd of 12,477 repeatedly roared that the fight be stopped. Barney Ross, for mer champion, said, “I never saw such a brutal affair in a ring in all my life. It was the most merciless beating I ever saw.” The National Broadcasting Com pany switchboard in New York was swamped by calls, all pro testing the way the fight was died. In many taverns in Mi chusetts where patrons were watch ing the fight many walked out say ing they couldn’t bear to watch and listen. An investigation of tho af fair seems likely.

America Is Most Wasteful Of All By EMMA MINICK Here in America, we have established a record for destroying our soil faster than any other na tion through prodigal waste by erosion and bad and greedy agri cultural methods. Almost regularly each year we read about the great river floods. Our newspapers carry pictures of houses submerged under water; trainloads of coal anchoring bridges; rowboats going down city streets; rows of drowned bodies. Yet, the greatest damage occur red, not along the rivers as the newspapers so vividly portrayed, but back on the farm lands where the rain fell. Much of this dam age need not have occurred If the soil had been properly usedf. Where man is using soil properly by having good structure, tilth, and humus, the rain will reach the river slowly, avoiding floods. Most of the nutritiousness of plants comes from the topsoil. It is essential to health, strength and normal resistance. In some areas dust storms are frequent. Dust storms blow away the topsoil and most of It will never grow crops again. In the absence ol topsoil, plants lack much of the power they ought to have to pro tect health. The world’s population has gone on increasing. The earth’s capac ity to support its inhabitants has been steadily decreased by blow ing dust and rapidly flowing water due to poor stewardship of the soil. Greater numbers of people are being forced to live on small er and poorer areas of cropland. There are many ways of pre venting damage to the land. Water can be made to walk in stead of run down hill. There are ways of restoring fertility to ex hausted lands, ways of halting erosion and repairing it, ways of restoring damaged water re sources and ways of healing the wounded earth, restoring what it has lost and even makipg it rich er than when man took over from nature. ' We must see the significance of the soft lines of contour farming; know about crop rotations; ap predate that a tree is not only a beautiful thing, but also a reservoir of water; that meadows and grasslands insure a farm’s life. God gave us the soil to use. May we have the intelligence to respect and keep our soil and pass it on to the next generation. dj&alarlf m Graduate NOW to the WORLD'S FASTEST PORTABLE Show this Ad to Mom and Dad.

P. Kapp, mana ger of the Edisto Dairy. Edisto products are delivered in Colum* bia, Camden, and Newberry. The reduction amounts to one cent per quart on pasturized and homogenized Golden Guernsey Milk, Mr. Kapp said. The new lower price is due to lower production anu feeding costs due to better grazing conditions this spring. The availability of feeds is always an important fac tor in establishing the retail and wholesale price of milk, accord ing to Mr. Kapp. Prices on milk products In this area were raised last September because of the severe summer drought which caused higher feed ing costs for the milk producers. Mr. Kapp said that this reduc tion brings the price of Edisto Milk to the level established on January 1, 1951, and is in line with the Dairy’s policy of gearing its price structure as closely to pro duction costs as possible. The decrease will be reflected in a 35c per hundred decrease to producers and an 11c decrease to the dairy. Deed Transfers Newberry No. 1 Lenore Broadus, xecutrix and R. E.

Robert H. Harper * Principles of Christian Stewardship. Lesson for June 7: II Cortnthtans 9. Golden Text: II Corinthians 9:7. Before setting forth the prin ciples of Christian stewardship. Paul commends the Corinthians for their generosity previously shown, and he urged them to con tinue in their giving. Paul was en gaged in securing an offering from different churches for the poor saints in Jerusalem, and he was anxious that the Corinthians should have their full share in that work of generosity. Christian stewardship depends upon the recognition of the fact that all men have come from God and that it is committed to them as a sacred trust. Stewardship is a higher law than that of the tithe. For it requires that men shall give all that they can to God’s service. They are to give all they can—In money, time, and talents. And every gift should be accompanied by thanksgiving to God for his goodness. Paul lays down what may be termed principles of Christian stewardship and they may well be followed today. First of all, men should give liberally, that they may reap bountifully. And they should be cheerful givers, not “grudging ly,” for God loves a cheerful giver. So let us give in such way that we — shall find joy in the giving. And what we give will then minister un-i to our happiness while it supplies the needs of others. Dr. R. L.
