Paysinger, Distributor FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Speelallst bird men We left Atlanta at 3 P.M. There are 58 other folks on this sleek 4- motored skyliner. Ours is the 16,- 000 foot level. It is getting late afternoon. We must be over the dry wastes of West Texas or New Mexico now. We can scarcely see earth, lost in the pink mists below. It is quiet in here and two tables of cards are in progress hack in the tail. The attractive hostesses have just passed refresh ments around. And while the others employ themselves with cards, reading, or sleep, I sit here and marvel. Old country me, at last up here flying in the very outer space. I dreamed of this when I was a kid and tried it, with outstreched sheet from the well shed once, spraining my ankle. I like to watch the great blue- cowled motor nearest me. I call that mine. And it hasn’t sputtered a lick since we left earth at At lanta 6 hours ago. Purring gen tly, like a contented cat. That’s it. And a slight sheen is all that marks the place of its whirling propeller. Boring, boring, ever boring in to the west! That’s us. Over 5 miles a minute! Headed into the sunset. It lingers long, for we are erasing a third of its speed. But up here we appear to be just hang ing in the clouds. There is no sense of our tremendous speed. Twilight comes to the land of the sagebrush, as we drone our westward way. Lights begin to twinkle at places far below, mark ing the occasional settlement in the far reaches of the cactus coun try. On and on we go, and night comes. Abysmal blackness is be low, except for the occasional twinkle of a light on the desert. The stars come out brightly in the clean thin air of the moonless night. We must be over the moun tains now. But the smoothness of our ride does not tell us so. We are stretching time, for we have run our watches back an hour three times. It is now 9 P.M. (midnight Atlanta time). We are on time and due in Los Angeles at 9:15. We suddenly run into a fog-bank, they turn on the wing lights. Everything is milky whiteness outside where the lights strike. I can’t see even to the wingtip. I wonder if we are in a predicament, knowing the old Pacific is just a few minutes ahead. But no one else seems bothered so I won’t be either. In a few minutes we broke into the clear, and there lay the sprawling j sea of lights far below that was Los Angeles. I wondered how we would ever get down in that place. But soon a clearing loomed. We decended by gentle stages. As we neared the earth, houses seem to scoot from under us, giving us, for the first time, the sense of speed. Imperceptible, we touched the runway. Propellers were re versed. A flurry by the engines soon had us almost stopped, and we rolled gently to our stopping spot there at the great Los Angeles airport. I pulled out my watch and it was 9:14. Across the country between din ner and supper! I didn’t realize how far I had gone until I came back on a fast train and it took a little over three days and nights. And, folks, that train trip was wonderful too. The Western Pa cific’s California Zephyr out of San Francisco east gave the great est scenic treat I’ve ever had. I’ll have to tell you about that some time. Let me get to some thing else now. COASTAL BERMUDA County Agent Bull of Abbeville tells me that 35 farmers there sprigged in Coastal Bermuda grass the past spring. The several truckloads of certified sprigs that the Extension Service brought in went to foundation plantings in every county of the state. As many of these as meet the strict purity requirements will be certified by our foundation seed growers’ as sociation this fall. These will then be reliable sources there in the counties for planting seed stock of this promising new grass. Now is a good time to see this grass growing in the fields. Many county agents have or will be ar- 70. Scott ■ PET PEEVE ■,» . FOR AUG. 16 Bible Comment: Religious or Racial Prejudice Was Not Practiced by Jesus /^INE of the most amazing and ^ revolting incidents of our time is the spectacle of certain people preaching and practicing racial and religious prejudice in the name of Christ. And much of this prejudice has been di rected against Jews, of which religion was Jesus himself, and from whom we received not only the riches of the Old Testament, but the records of the New, and the church itself. When Paul spoke of the Gos- v pel of Christ, he emphasized its universality. His mission and ministry, he insisted, were to Gentiles as well as to those of his own religion. Was Paul a true interpreter of his Master? Or did Jesus in any way limit His mission, or the benefits and privileges of the grace of God? There are one or two in cidents that, viewed lightly or thoughtlessly, might indicate that. But the whole story of Jesus, the revelation of His spirit and the general records of the four Gospels, are so much against any such interpretation that these incidents must be seen in the light of the full evidence. One of the most puzzling inci dents is that of Jesus and the Syrophenician woman. This troubled Grecian woman had brought her demented daughter to Jesus, beseeching Him to heal her. Evidently to test her faith He put in her way stumbling blocks that seemed harsh and even cruel. Voicing the common re ligious and racial prejudice, He said, in effect, “Do you ask this of Me, a Jew? It is not meet to take the children’s bread and give it unto dogs.” But He was voicing, not His own thought, but the sort of thing that racial and religious prejudice thinks and says, for He was about to bless the woman and her daughter. And He drew from the woman the reply that pleased Him. Dogs must be fed. Human need transcends preju dices. HP HIS Italian type hair-do that the ladies are wearing around my home town (since that issue of Life magazine hit the stands) is enough to drive a man crazy. My wife, however, looks worse than most She says to me, **1 need $25 for a haircut.” “What?” I screamed. "Twenty- five for a haircut Never! I won’t do it." “Well, we could do It ourselves,” says she. *T know just how I want it if you will follow my instruc tions." "No." i screamed again. "I told you when we were first married that is one of the things I won’t do. I won’t help you give yourself waves and help you pin up year hair. That's out.” "O. K.” says she. "Hand ever the $25.” I think a minute and says cautiously, "You think we could do it? It would save $25.” Without i. word she rushes off for the’ scissors and a sheet For the following 20 minutes I snipped here, clipped there, and all foe timp handling foe scissors like a professional When I was through I must admit her head looked like an old mop. She took one look in foe mirror and rushed out of foe house with out even taking off foe sheet screaming. *T’m ruined!” Two hours later she came back with a very satisfied look on her face. I couldn’t see any Change as far as her hair was concerned since foe time she fled from the house. “Andre fixed it” says she. "Isn’t it wonderfuL” “Looks like an old mop, if you ask me.” ’‘Beastl” she screamed at me. “That old mop has just cost you $50. And besides Andre said you had no artistic soul. A child could have done better than you did.” Lesson: When they want to have their hair fixed give them foe money and forget It fellows BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Last week I started off here, “Childhood’s little tragedies often become some of our most cherish ed memories.” And that brought such a rush of memories that I couldn’t get nearly all of them on that page. So here are a few more: The Christmas my brother was chasing my colored playmate, Zeke, with the Roman candle, a ball of that fire hit him in the back of the head, stuck for a moment, sizzled there, and we put it out by sousing his head in the horse trough. The time my daddy thought we were joking when we said we could no longer hold that tough- headed yearling and keep him out of the corn field when we went to stake him out to graze. So he tried him. Leaving the water trough there at the well, he picked the chain up, as the yearling. started down the path. He yanked on it to hold him, but the yearling got faster and faster. Soon my daddy lost his footing, the calf was tak ing him so fast. But he held on to the chain and that strong yearl ing dragged him all through a brier patch and some thorn bush es. He sure looked cheap when we caught up with him and the yearling had him down there in the edge of the corn field. The time I stepped on the hot end just cut off of a horse shoe in the black dust down there at MISS UNIVERSE . .

BIG WEEK Next week, August 17-21, is Farm Week at Clemson. My, what a week it bids to be! The thing grows every year.

And meals are served in the mess hall at moderate cost. Bring sheets, pil low, towels, etc. Watch And Jewelry Repairs BR0ADUS LIPSCOMB WATCHMAKER 2309 Johnstone Street the blacksmith shop. It took it a few moments to touch the quick through the leather-like sole of my bare foot. But when it got through that, oh bo:;! The time I drowned six of my mother’s chicks trying to make them swim like my ducks. And the time I angrily threw a rock at the old rooster that beat me to the fine mulberries I had just knocked down, hitting him squarely on the head, killing him, and I threw him away down in the high weeds, only to start limberneck among our chickens a week later. The time I stumbled on the top step, spilling the two buckets of water that were my nightlj 7 chore, as the ball game was drawing nearly to a close there in the back yard, and dusk was settling fast across the countryside. Life look ed awful gloomy to me then. And the time I shaved the back part of my heel off on a sharp axe, as I got in the trough to see them kill the beef at Mr. Hire’s place, thus ruining my chances for going to the creek for some time. On and on like that any country boy could go for pages and pages of memory. I REMEMBER’ BY THE OLD TIMERS From Ellen A. Sewart, North Highlands. California: I remember when my father paid foe grocery bill, the grocer would always give him a big bag of mixed candy In striped bags. We used to buy gum that came in small round tins, with five pieces of gum to foe tin which was foe size of a quarter. • • • From Iva C. Oliver, Perry, Flori da: 1 remember when I was a child of about 10 my brothers, and six children who were our neigh bors. took me on a “nut gathering" party We started early one Saturn day morning in October, taking baskets of luncl) tor a picnic at noon; a Jug of water and two sack* to be filled with nuts I lived in southeast Missouri, and foe trip was some 8 or 9 mile# to foe Mississippi river bottom* where there was an abundance o€ hickory trees and some pecan trees. On this trip we brought home enough nuts to last throughout the winter, for eating after supper and for mother to use in making de licious nut cakes and candies. m : : v-m^ 3 HOME LOANS CONSTRUCTION REPAIR PURCHASING REFINANCING ■ ■ SCOUT GETS HONOR ...
