It also is the first fortification built for the defense of the harbor, being erected in 1704 to repel a feared attack by the French fleet. A second, more substantial fort was built in 1759. In 1765 a supply of hated stamped paper arrived from England and was stored at Johnson. Aroused Charleston ians formed three volunteer companies, which crossed the river at night and captured the fort. The Charleston men dug in to defend the fort and raised a blue flag with three white crescents—the first form of the present flag of South Carolina. A British sloop of war investigated. The captain was told to take the hated stamp ed paper away, or it 'would be burned. He agreed and the paper was returned to England. Thus 10 years before the outbreak at Concord, Charles tonians had captured a British fort and raised a rebel stand ard. The fort was seized again in 1775 by the Americans, and shots were fired from Johnson on the British war ships, “Tamar” and “Cherokee.” Jn 1861 Confederate forces occupying the old Fort fired the first shots of the War Between the States when they bombarded Fort Sumter. The first shot of that was a mor tar shell from Johnson, which burst over Sumter, then oc cupied by a Federal garrison. Throughout the War of Secession the Confederates used Fort Johnson in the defense of Charleston Harbor.

I think that statement should be come a matter of principle with all hunters; then perhaps we can get rid of that everlasting feel ing of being on the defensive in regard to hunting safety. If we establish as a matter of principle never to shoot at game unless reasonably sure we are in a position to down it with one shot, we will remove the neces sity for much of the present and contemplated legislation regulat ing types and uses of rifles for hunting. If we are determined to make a one-shot kill without wounding, we cannot afford simply to shoot at the animal. We must shoot to hit what we can clearly identify as a vital area. A hunter can’t de termine this vital area on an ani mal unless he can at least iden tify that what he is shooting at is an animal. This practically elim inates the possibility of a hunter for a deer. Or of missing an en tire target and wounding a hun ter beyond. If we add up all the benefits from the one-shot principle, the sum is simply good shooting, good hunting, good sportsmanship. I be lieve the bulk of the hunters are good sportsmen. i However, there are certain in fluences on new hunters which may not be good. According to Pete Brown of the Sports Afield arms - and - ammunition staff, the trend in the Army has been to teach volume of fire theory and minimize the importance of pre cision fire. I am not going to ar.- gue the question of merit in the volume of fire technique in the military, but it is definitely con trary to the best interest of the hunting sport. A soldier advancing through no man’s land can be expected to shoot at a movement in the brush and later consider the necessity for his shots. On the other hand the hunter who is working his way through the brush in this state of mind is a menace. Brown is worried because serv icemen particularly seem to be in terested in getting semi-automatic big game rifles. Now we have no argument with anyone possessing a semi-automatic big game rifle, if he uses it as a sporting weapon. What we fear is that the semi automatic will become a symbol of the military school of though in the field of big game hunting. If this come to pass the woods may become as dangerous as the highway. So make that first shot count. UClt*' ^ L h£Au AAflOl L. aOTWOB •. a.

Mrs. A We were guests of the A’s when little Joe reached out, grabbed onto the cup containing milk, in tending to consume it in grown-up fashion. Almost as' if by reflex action Mrs. A. slapped his wrist, upsetting the cup, and exclaiming “How messy can you get!” Mrs. B A few days later, at B’s house, Tina decided to try the cup alone. in h it Overt N O MAN ever achieved suc cess without first tasting the dregs of defeat. Smaller men are overcome by their set backs—bigger men use them as stepping stones to greatness. Fear and lack of self-confidence are the greatest enemies of suc cessful accomplishment. But life gives wonderful fruits to those who have the courage to de mand them. The life of' Abraham Lincoln is a vivid demonstration of out standing courage. Until he was 40 years old, Lincoln knew noth ing but defeat and failure. His spirit, however, was unconquer able and his unwavering confi dence in his own ability made of him one of the world’s really great men.

BY EDNA MILES A LMOST every home, unless it's been built to your speci fications. has a few window problems. (And even then it may have some.) The ordinary window presents a problem in itself, in that it needs special treatment to make it seem interesting and lend a special air to the room. The new cord-weave draperies, made of twisted cellulose fibers treated with plastic and woven together with strong cotton warp threads, provide many solutions. Colors are fast and will not run when rained upon Fibers have been treated to give them strength when they’re wet and won’t disintegrate. Colors arc also highly resistant to fading. These drapes may be scissors- cut to length, eliminating meas uring problems and special or ders. Furthermore, they’re ready made with a simple drawstring tape at the top. No hemming or finishing is necessary. A bay-window problem, for in stance. can be solved by three tiers of these drapes. For an ordinary window, try hanging ginger-brown drapes right down to the floor, cutting them off jusl to clear your rug. Or pick one of the other four colors: natural, willow green, dove gray and Chinese red. Modern clcre-story window is hung with natural-color draperies that are clipped off a few inches below window. They are used with matching blonde contemporary headboard. What a difference! With her face beaming approval, quickly the mother poured out most of the milk and then pushed it closer. The child grasped the handle clumisly and headed it approxi mately in the right direction. Milk streamed through her hair, and a trickle ran onto the outstretched tongue. Mother smiled, and add ed a bit more milk for a second trial run. What was the difference in the two mothers? One was interested primarily in keeping things tidy and working with machine-like precision. She had not the time, the patience, nor the understand ing to be a mother. The other was interested pri marily in the rapidly evolving per sonality of her child, and was de lighted with each step toward in dependence and self-sufficiency. ■Feeds Self What difference did it make to these two children? Mrs. B had Tina transferred from the breast to drinkig milk from a cup by the tenth month of age.^and she was feeding herself shoruy thereafter. Almost any kind of food was a de light to her plate. Woe Is Me! But Mrs. A had woe upon woe at her house. Joe seemed to take up the gauntlet cast before him by mother. . He refused the cup, even with her holding it, and she placed him on a bottle instead. At two years of age he w;as still insisting upon taking all milk from the bot tle. Food became a means of up setting mother, who would cajole, shout, and pray at meal time, and “shop” pediatricians between meals. It never occurred to her that she had “asked for it,” created the situation by denying him the right to be an individual when he want ed to take a great step forward in the process of development. Every child will tell parents by his actions when he wants to at tempt self-feeding, and, begin ning then, he should learn to eat and drink for himself as rapidly as possible. Poor Eaters Anxiety about food can be kept to a minimum if mother knows she can trust the child. It has been i proved that the average child, if the proper variety of foods are placed before him for a week without comment, will choose well enough to insure adequate vitamin and calorie intake. If he doesn’t want a vegetable this meal, he will at another. If he doesn't want milk at every meal, ignore it. Milk is not the complete food any way which it is claimed to be. Forcing a child to eat or punish ing him regarding food is unthink able. By making meal time pleas ant, food attractive and palatable, most children love to eat. Eating problems can be solved in time by parents refusing to make any thing of the negativism or finick iness, and by making food avail able only at meal times. Snacks and sweets should not be permit ted between peals under such circumstances. If a child gets hungry enough he will eat. Adequate Attention In the meantime adequate at tention should be given at all times so that the child does not feel it necessary to call attention to himself at meal time. Self-feeding makes things easier on the mother, of course, and cuts down on mother-child brawls which have a habit of occuring around meal time in many homes. Of even greater significance to the child is the stimulus to per sonality development in that it gives him independence, self- confidence, self-control, and initia tive. ufe.
