W1S-TV Be On
Airwaves Soon
Columbia, Oat. 12—The NBC
television network’s star-studded
programs will be beamed to view
ers in the Newberry area on Chan
nel 10 when WIS-TV of Columbia
goes on the air in early November.
Operating with 106,500 watts ef
fective radiated power, the only
VHF station in Central South
Carolina will carry certain CBS-
TV programs and originate many
local telecasts in addition to the
tull NBC television complement
of shows.
Managing Director Charles A.
Batson said today that the station
would be ready for telecasting as
soon as the 582-foot transmitting
tower is completed. It is now un
der construction adjacent to the
WIS radio and TV headquarters
in downtown Columbia.
Mr. Batson has directed the sta
tion’ preparatory program for
more than a year. When ground
wa broken on the new television
wing of WIS headquarters in
May, WIS-TV personnel had been
training for almost a year with
twice-weekly workshop sessions.
The station’s two studio cam
eras and related equipment have
been used continually to rehearse
and produce actual telecasts simi
lar to those which will be seen
on Channel 10 in early November.
Local programs will include news,
sports and weather; musical, re
ligious, educational and agricultur
al features; top notch film at
tractions; home economy demon
strations; and interviews with
famous persons.
Persons getting ready for Chan
nel 10 service are advised to con
sult local dealers about antenna
installation for the best WIS-TV
reception. Channel 10 can be re
ceived by any standard TV set
without the addition of converters
or other tuning accessories.
The WIS-TV television wing
now under construction will house
technical facilities, an art shop,
photographic laboratory, film edit
ing room, dressing room and set
storage space. From these studios
will be beamed such NBC high
lights as the NCAA Saturday
afternoon football games, includ
ing the South Carolina-North Caro
lina game November 7th. Other
NBC-TV personalities include John
Cameron Swayze, Groucho Marx,
Robert Montgomery and Milton
Berle.

Victims Of Falls
Numbers Increase
The number of persons who die
as a result of falls is increasing
year by year, according to County
Agent P. B. Ezell. He says records
of the National Safety Council
show that 14,400 people were kill
ed from falls last year. These
records show that falls head the
list of home accidents.
There are three types of falls.
First, a person may fall from
something high to something low,
such as a fall from a ladder, from
a chair, or from a scaffold. Sec
ond, a person may fall over some
thing such as a misplaced tool,
the garden hose, or a toy; and
third, a person may fall on a slip
pery surface caused when grease,
oil or other material is spilled and
not wiped up.
“These three simple ways for
falls to happen make it seem
ridiculous that falls head the list
of all home accidents,” the local
agent states. “It is ridiculous be
cause these falls could have been
prevented so easily. It is not
ridiculous when records show that
during the past year 14,400 peo
ple were killed and many thou
sands of others were either temp
orarily or permanently injured be
cause of falls,” he adds.
Mr. Ezell calls attention to the
following simple rules, which if
observed will help to prevent
falls: Look where you are going;
hold onto hand rails when going
up and down stairs; never leave
anything where anyone can fall
over it; always use a sturdy lad
der or stool for reaching high
places; don’t overreach when on
a ladder or a stool; always wipe
up immediately anything which
has been spilled; and keep steps
and stairs well lighted and in good
repair.
“Remember, it is easier to re
pair the staircase, the ladder, or
the doorsteps than it is to repair
a broken body,” he emphasizes.

SOIL TREATMENT
Very small forms of life called
nematodes live in the soil. Often
their numbers build up to the point
they do a lot of crop damage.
The most evident of these is
the familiar root-knot nematode
that we have all observed on plant
roots. Specially in old gardens
have we noted them, making it
all but impossible to grow things
like tomatoes and okra any more.
But science has found out that
there are other sorts of this pest
that do not cause those large
swellings on the roots of affected
plants. It is this sort that does
great damage without being de
tected by the casual eye. The crop
just gets unthrifty and does not
make much. Stands are often
seriously hurt, and we charge it
to something else.
Tobacco is one field crop this
pest has been sapping for a long
time. Science has developed a
practical soil treatment that to
bacco growers are using in a big
way with good results, according
to our tobacco specialist, J. M.
Lewis. This material costs about
$12 per acre, and applying it con
sists of just a few extra furrows
per row some time previous to
transplanting, making, the total
cost not run over $15 per acre. In
the tobacco-growing empire of
Horry, County Agent Johnston
tells me that over half their acre
age was treated in 1953 and this
percentage will likely rise to 75
in 1954.
This material must be applied to
the soil properly and at the right
time to be most effective. Mr.
Lewis tells me about 99 farmers
out of a hundred using it this year
were pleased with results. And,
now, folks, that’s a mighty high
percentage of satisfied users,
when something new is being
tried.
Your county agent can give you
full particulars for treating your
land not only for tobacco, but for
other affected money crops At
Clemson Dr. Garrison got very
marked benefits from it with to
matoes, okra, and fall cantaloupes.
We live and learn. Science is
constantly bringing up new rem
edies. We supply them. And the
harvests are heavier.
ALL BUT THE SQUEAL
You’ve heard about the effici
ency of our modern meat-packing
plants, where they use everything
but the squeal of a hog.
Modern lumbering is working
towards similar efficiency.
The other day I stopped by the
Ingram Lumber Mill near Conway.
There they beat the bhrk off the
logs and use it and the sawdust
for fuel. The slabs and trimmings
are chipped up, and a fleet of six
large trailer trucks haul them to
the paper mill at Georgetown.
1 hey told me that under usual
operations, only 32 percent of a
tree wound up in lumber on an
average. That meant that 68 per
cent of the wood in a tree was
wasted. That included stump,
limbs, top, slabs, and sawdust, I
slabs accounting for a good bit
of that. ,
And after the log is cut and
hauled to the average mill, only
45 percent of tfhe average one
goes into lumber. The remaining
55 percent of the log goes into
slabs and sawdust.
It’s good to see our folks work
ing towards a fuller utilization of
our woodland wealth. For surely,
millions of feet of good wood have
rotted in slab and sawdust piles in
every county of the state in years
past. And they still rot at most
places, as bad as the world needs
the products of that wood. So
congratulations to Mr. Dargan,
who owns the Ingram Lumber
Company down there near Con
way. May the future crgwn his
efforts with success and those of
others who work towards the full
utilization of our trees when they
are harvested. This, along with
proper conservation and manage
ment in our vast woodlands, can
bring us a perpetual bounty from
these areas. This our Clemson ex
tension forester. Bill Barker, as
sures me.

Here From India
J. Gordon Peery, son of The
Rev. and Mrs. John C. Peery,
Lutheran Missionaries in India,
enrolled at Newberry College in
September in the Freshman
Class after traveling some 11,000
miles to get to the South Caro
lina Lutheran institution. His
father, the Rev. John C. Peery,
graduated from Newberry Col
lege in 1928.
Gordon came from Kodai
School, an American mission
supported school in South India,
which is based on the New York
State school system standards
and is well known throughout
Southern Asia for its scholastic
requirements.
Gordon says that he select
ed Newberry College because it
fitted so well into the pattern he
had left at Kodai School, a
small institution with high scho
lastic standards, well trained
faculty, an excellent student
government, and a friendly at
mosphere. Gordon says he likes
Newberry and is happy to be In
the States for his undergradu
ate study.

and stayed rather poor, as a state.
New England largely manufactur
ed it then and prospered.
Early in the present century this
thing started changing, and by
1920 the South was manufacturing
61 percent of it and New England
33. Now we manufacture 93 per
cent of the cotton manufactured in
this country and New England 6
percent!
Change, change, the constancy
of it! Jobs and riches lie at the
manufacturing level. And it’s good
to have them right here in the
midst of the cotton patches.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
As a kid I took an excursion to
Charleston to see the ocean.
I left Columbia Saturday night
late and got back about midnight
Sunday for $1.50, including the
ferry and trolly ride to Isle of
Palms.
That was a pretty big eifpendi-
ture.But my folks let me go when
I was about 12. I was sorry all
the travel was at night, because
I couldn’t see anything much along
the way. I wanted to be hanging
out of the window, watching those
drivers roll, and waving at the
folks we passed. Having nothing
to do, I fell asleep. I awoke as we
were rumbling over some cross
ings, as we were entering Charles
ton. I started eating the breakfast
I had taken and finished on the
ferry after a hack ride through
town.
The ferry ride was a thrill, as
was that something like 10-mile
trolly car ride to the Island. When
we got there, and walked through
the old pavilion, I first beheld the
ocean! ^’fhat was the most over
powering thing I’ve ever seen. The
ocean! The first wonder of the
world!
I was scared a bit at first and
wouldn’t go very near that rest
less thing. But, seeing others
lunge right in, I ventured up
closer and let the breakers smooth
out there on the sand and run
over my feet. It felt good and soon
I felt at ease. Then I got a bath
ing suit and joined the others.
What a day I had! Although my
complexion is dark and I don’t sun
burn easily, I did burn a bit on
the shoulders and they felt
strangely hot on the way back that
night.
We stayed until the last car
and ferry left to catch our train.
New Information'

Some phases of camellia produc
tion discussed In the circular are:
Brief history of camellias; variet
ies for landscaping and for cut
flowers; well-known and desirable
varieties; blooms for fall, winter,
and spring; location of planting
site; propagation planting, and.
cultivation; and control of insects
and diseases. Suggestions are
given for buying camellias, for
mailing blooms, and for holding
shows. Attention is called to the
camellia test garden at Clemson
College, and to additional sources
of camellia information.

It was full moon and the sun set
early behind some low clouds in
the west. The moon came up, lad
ing its glittering road of fire across
the sea. That was the most beauti
ful sight I had ever seen. And I
remember sitting on % that side of
the street car, as we were leaving
that enchanted spot, so I could get
one final longing look at that
spectacle of a clear full moon com
ing up out of the sea. And to this
day, I don’t know of a scene 'On
earth to beat that.
