50 Farm Families
Are Outstanding
Fifty-six South Carolina farm
families representing 28 counties
in 1953 earned the award of merit
for outstanding accomplishment in
balanced farming. 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

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

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
