A RE YOU one of those who
wonder how it can be true
that more and more money
is being saved by Americans
than ever before?
Perhaps you are a conserva
tive spender, and yet you find
yourself hard put to make ends
meet. And you have long ago
decided that there is absolutely
no hope, at least in sight, for
you to ever accumulate any kind
of financial heritage for your
loved ones. You even wonder
how you will ever be able to
support the education of your
children beyond the high school
level.
Well, just hold on a minute.
It isn’t nearly as hopeless as it
sounds. There is a way you can
provide a substitute for your
self, in caring for those loved
ones. That way is through Life
Insurance. . _
Did you know that Life In
surance provides the only way
whereby a man can make his
will before he makes his money?

"I REMEMBER"
BY THE OLD TIMERS
From Mrs. Edward Koch, Ft.
Recovery. Ohio: When I was small
my mother always set the first
setting hens to get early frying
chickens. As soon as they weighed
2% to 3 pounds, we carried them
five miles to a general store where
we got 15 cents a pound for them
in trade.
We would get coffee in green ber
ries that had to be roasted and
ground. The white sugar we got
was all in hard lumps; so was
the brown. Pickles, prunes and
crackers were stored in open bar
rels without covers and many times
the grocer had to chase the cat
out of the cracker barrel where
she had been sleeping.
Nothing was packaged in those
days; they didn’t even have paper
sacks. Everything had to be
wrapped in heavy brown paper.
Canned vegetables and fruits were
unheard of.
We received 5 cents a dozen for
eggs and 5 and 6 cents a pound
for butter. We burned kerosene
lamps and every time one bought
kerosene the grocer put a small
potato on the spout of the can so
t would not spill.

From Ida O. Billings, Albert
Lea, Minnesota: I remember when
k Jie old time box heater was placed
in the middle room at home to
help the kitchen stove keep the
house warm during winter. Father
would take the embers and red
hot coals in the morning, put them
in our shoes and roll them around
to get them warm before we put
them on to start for school.

Lesson for November 29: Deuter
onomy 24: 14-15, 19; Amos 5: 10-15,
24; II Tbessalonsems 3: 7-10.
Golden Text: Amos 5: 24.
It is not the will of God that
any of his people shall go without
needful things. So we read in
Deuteronomy that strict rules were
given, assuring the laborer fair
treatment, and safeguarding him
in his wages, whether he was a
native or a foreigner. A forgotten
sheaf of wheat was allowed to
remain in the field for any needy
person who should come along
This and the leaving of a few hand
fuls of wheat for the gleaners be
came a fixed custom in Israel
Amos spoke fearlessly against
the oppression of the poor by men
of wealth. It was a time of social
unrest, and the prophet urged a
wholesome change that would give
the poor a chance.
Paul writing the Thessalonians,
cites himself as an example of
one who worked with his own hands
to support himself. He had been
taught the trade of tent-maker and.
whenever he deemed it advisable,
he labored at tent-making and did
not receive any support from
churches he served. He recom
mended industry and thrift to the
Thessalonians, some of whom, be
cause of their belief in the speedy
second coming of Christ, pro
fessed indifference toward mun
dane things. The apostle laid
down the dictum that the man who
would not work should not eat by
the toils of others.
Opportunity should be given to
all and all should work, unless cir
cumstances limit their ability to
do so. Paul condemns idleness and
shiftlessness. In the lesson we
find a sound economy that would
well be in force today.

FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER

LAURENS DAIRY PROGRESS,
BUSY AGENT, AND IRRIGATION
. County Agent Cannon told me
they had recently completed 5
more Grade A dairy barns in
Laurens county. This gives them
50 such dairy establishments.
His office is a spot that farm
ers sure use. I was there a half-
hour. At least a half dozen folks
called him during that time. All
sought something different. One
had borers in his*house and want
ed the remedy. Another called
about TJMA payments for 1954, fts
he was planning his operations
then. Cannon straightened him
out, as best he could at that time.
Another wanted to know some
thing about planting crimson
clover. While still another want
ed to know the county cotton
acreage and yield for each of the
past 3 years. The seeding mix
ture and fertilization for a new
pasture was asked by another.
While still another one wanted to
know how to kill the lice off his
collards.
Cannon did not falter in giving
answers. The modern county agent
has to become a veritable walking
encyclopedia. Cannon knew every
answer except one detail. And he
quickly turned to a handy ref
erence and got that.
lie told me T. P. Brown and Son
had saved an alfalfa crop with
sprinkler irrigation. And Robert
Harris had made a fine com crop
with gravity irrigation.
Overcoming drought! More and
more are doing it.
FOOD MAKES GAME
They have started growing some
commercial rice again in our Low
Country. And with it, the rice
birds have come back. Yes, great
swarms of ’em.
While riding with county agent
L. W. Alford of Colleton, we saw
them, threatening hordes of them.
Left alone, they could clean up a
whole field of rice in a while. This
critical period with rice, thanks
be, lasts only a very few weeks, I
was told. So during that time they
were resorting to everything from
firecrackers to zooming airplanes
to try to keep them scared away.
I was just led to wonder where
all of those birds have been feed
ing before the rice started com
ing back there. Our wildlife folks
tell us that the food supply large
ly determines most game popu
lations. And, of course, some
sort of sensible protection too
is needed.
I told you about the 17,000 acre
wild turkey refuge that was estab
lished a few years ago down in
the heart of the great Francis
trapping is now done to stock
denuded areas. Wild turkeys and
deer are specially abundant there.
And coons have become so plenti
ful as to become a nuisance.
Our game folks are making a
systematic and intelligent effort to
help our wildlife come back from
the point of near-extinction it was
approaching. Success can come
from this only to the extent that
our landowners and hunters co
operate with them. Our 4-H clubs
have projects in wildlife food pro
duction and management. Each
winter many thousands of lespe-
deza bicolor plants are set by
members on their home farms for
birdfeed and shelter. These seed
lings are furnished by our state
wildlifp department. •
SUCH GROWTH
I wonder if anything in our
agriculture as ever grown like
broiler production has in quite re
cent years?
In 1934 this country produced
35 million broilers. Last year it
produced 886 million! That’s an
increase • of 2,531 percent! And
this year that figure will be even
higher.
Several things account for this
phenomenal growth.
Other meats have been so high
as to make chickens a good buy.
The “Chicken of Tomorrow Con
test” has encouraged breeders and
producers to put out better, meat
ier birds. Vast improvement has
been noted here. And these sup
erior birds are naturally in better
demand than the crow-like creat
ures that most broilers used to
look like.
Clemson has a major course in
poultry. The Extension Service
has many good bulletins on the
different phases of poultry produc
tion that are free at your county
agent’s office. The 4-H club boys
•amd girlb have many projects
with poultry, and the Sears, Roe
buck project puts the best chicks
into many of their hands. The
FFA boys study and grow poultry.
The feed people and poultry dress
ing plants have, experts in the
field to help and advise. With all
working together, poultry boooms.

Bible Comment:
emmmemmmemmmmmmmmmmmmmammmum^^mmemrnemee *
Jesus Christ Came
Into Our World
To Save Sinners
W/^HRIST JESUS came into
the world to save sinners;
of whom I am chief,” wrote
Paul to Timothy in I Timothy.
When Paul called himself the
chief of sinners he was probably
remembering his days as a
persecutor, holding the garments
of those who stoned Stephen to
death and breathing out threat
ening and slaughter against
those of the new-found faith.
No such dark blot of violence
may be upon us. But if we say
we have no sin, as John reminds
us, the truth is not in us.
So Jesus came into the world
to save us, and He died for us.
In what spirit, then, do we ap
proach those last sad scenes in
the. life of our Lord, His death
and burial? Are they to us only
tragic events in a far-off past?
All that is well, but it is not
enough. Are we mere observers,
or are we participants. A Negro
spiritual asks pointedly. “Were
you there when they crucified
my Lord? And thj*re is more
than plaintive melody in that
challenging question.
We know how Paul would
have answered it. The experi
ences of Jesus as He moved to
ward Calvary, was crucified,
buried and rose again were so
real to the Apostle that he wrote:
“I am crucified with Christ;
nevertheless I live; yet not I. But
Christ liveth in me, and the life
which I now live in the flesh I
live by the faith of the Son of
God, who loveth me.”
That is the perfection of faith
and of Christian experiences, to
which, possibly, few of us attain.
We are so content to follow the
Master afar off. but too often we
lack the courage of the faith that
we profess.

1901. My folks carried me to Co
lumbia with them!
I was sure in a strange world
then. From the time the old wood
burner rolled in to White Rock,
our flag-stop, with a shower of hot
cinders, until we got back late
that afternoon, I was half scared
all the time. And I know I was a
nuisance, hanging on to my moth
er’s skirts all day.
Crossing that trestle into Co
lumbia spared me a lot. There
were no sides to it, and it looked
like we were just hanging away
up in the air, 20 feet or more.
We got out dbwn there on Gervais
Street and walked up the hill to
wards Main. Our first stop was at
the Farmers’ Alliance store, run
by Cousin Paul Haltiwanger. My
Aunt Mat worked there. I had
never seen anything so big. They
handled just about everything.
Cousin Paul patted me on the head
and gave me a stick of candy. I
always liked him after that. And
Aunt Mat gave me a dime, the
biggest piece of money I had
«ver had. I never forgot her for
that and subsequent kindness.
That day we had dinner at
Cousin Dick Keenan’s. That was
the first time I ever saw or tast
ed iced tea. T liked it from the
start. Cousin Paul lived just
across the street, Elmwood Ave.
We went over there after dinner
to see Cousin Kate, his kindly wife.
It was then I first met Ames and
Deems, now prominent Columbia
business men. Their sister, Laura,
already was a favorite of mine.
She had visited my sister. But I
hadn’t met Carry before.
With all of that kinnery meeting
on a rare visit, there was an abun-
Cousin Dick sent his buggy by to
dance of talk. About 4 o’clock
take us to the 5 o’clock train. It
took us back to the Stone Hills,
where I was a lot more comfort-
f
able. Not too many years after
that, I learned to go to Columbia
by myself and like it.
