This number brings the total to 268 farm fam ilies of the state who have earned this coveted award during the three years the program has been under way. The program is spon sored by the Clemson Extension Service in cooperation with the county agricultural committees of the various counties of the state. M. H. Sutherland, Clemson ex tension economist, points out that these successful farm families have attained the objectives of balanced farming by keeping their farms and homes up-to-date with every acre of land put to its best use. The farm homes are modern attractive, and comfortable with neatly trimmed lawns. The farm buildings and fences are conveni ently arranged and kept in good repair. Balanced farming plans are being followed that include scientific management practices with crops and livestock that are Mrs. Guy Lipford of Chester, were fitted together to make the best flower girls.

Ray Dawkins ing a rod or reel is like giving shoes without bothering to find out the proper size or type. So here are a few suggestions to guide the non-angler. Remem ber that each type of tackle—fly, casting or spinning—has its own place. Let’s begin with fly tackle: For a man, a moderately pow erful dry-fly rod of 8 feet, weigh ing roughly 4 ounces. For the average woman, a similar rod of 7% feet. For the smaller woman, one with weak hands and wrists, bring the length down to 7 feet. Good bamboo rods take much craftsmanship and so are neces sarily somewhat expensive. In the lower and medium price ranges, a hollow-glass rod is a safe bet. Jason Lucas, angling ed itor of Sports Afield magazine, says these recommendations hold good regardless of whether the rods are to be used for small trout, bass or tarpon, with dry flies, wet flies or bugs. For decent casting, the line must match the rod. A rod of 7 to 8 feet, with moderately power ful dry-fly action, will work fine with any one of these: C level, as the least expensive, for wet flies and bugs. For more distance with bugs and wet flies, and greater casting ease at moderate range, a GBF 3-diameter with a front taper of not more than 4 feet or so. For dry-fly fishing (good for wets too but not for bugs), an HCH double taper fits best and will cast farthest and most easily. But some prefer an HDH for its somewhat better floating qualities. Whether you choose a single action or an automatic reel is purely a matter of taste, but a big single-action with a good drag is best for heavy, far-running fish With spinning tackle it’s hard to go wrong, since about all of it works well. But remember that a Spinning reel won’t work cor rectly with a casting or fly rod. Lucas prefers a spinning rod of 7 feet used with 4 pound-test line. Monofilament is fine, but braided spinning line is somewhat easier to learn with. If you’re choosing casting tack le for someone who doesn’t get much practice, get a reel with a good anti-backlash device. The more experienced angler should learn to use the reel free-running. You’ll see lots of short casting rods, but one of less than 5% feet won’t cast well, and Lucas prefers 6 feet for both light lures and big musky plugs. As for line, a 12- pound-test is a good bet for most fishing. Try and get a soft braid. MISS PARKER IS BRIDE OF" SGT. KOON The marriage of Miss Helen Ruth Parker and Sgt. William B. Koon, United States Army was solemnized November 15, at 12:30 noon in the Lutheran Church of the Incarnation in Columbia. The Rev. George E. Meetze, officiated at the double ring ceremony. A program of nuptial music was presented by Mrs. Beulah S. Howie, organist and Miss Carolyn Slye and Joe Eargle, vocalists. Miss Anne Morse was the bride’s only attendant. Richard H. Kirkland was best man. The bride, given in marriage by her brother, Marion Quincy Par ker of Hartsville wore a brown suit with skin accessories. She carried a white satin covered prayer book topped with two bronze prehids and showered with white satin streamers. Her only ornament was a pair of amber stone earrings. After the ceremony the couple received in the vestibule of the church. Mrs. Koon is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Perry Parker of Hartsville. She received her education froy Lydia High School and Columbia Commercial College. She is employed with the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company. Sgt.

VA Now Requires Financial Statement A statement showing financial inability to pay for hospitalization, in addition to the previous pau per’s oath, will be required in the future of all Newberry County veterans seeking treatment at a Veterans Hospital. The ruling applies to all vet^l erans, but only in non-service con nected cases. This may seem con fusing, yet actually is not con tradictory. For instance, a veteran with a seryice-connected leg injury will be admitted for treatment to the leg at a VA hospital without sign ing a supplementary statement re garding his financial ability to pay. If the same veteran even though 100 per cent disabled, in curs some other malady, he must then complete the supplementary application before the VA will ac cept him. This ’addendum’ to the original application for VA hospital or domiciliary care is a departure from the policy and practice here tofore followed. In effect it sug gests that “the statement under oath of the applicant” instead of being “accepted as sufficient,” may be questioned upon the basis of information concerning his fi nancial status as called for in the so-called “addendum.” . The question of a veterans’ ability or inability to pay for treat ment elsewhere would depend on the cost thereof and the length and type of treatment. Such as major surgery in a given case. Re gardless of this, the application Ridgeway Visits With Four-H Boys The Stoney Hill 4-H Club boys held their monthly meeting, De cember 4, with George Hawkins presiding.
