PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1964 Neels Have Balanced Farm Operation The Richard E. Neel Family is typical of many rural families in Newberry County. That is to say they work and plan together to achieve a more balanced farm and home life. Mr. and Mrs. Neel have been married for Ifi years. They have one child, a little girl 3 years of age. The farm consists of about 500 acres of well managed farm land. In addition to the farm, Mr. Neel and his brother operate a rural store and a sawmill. * A 35 cow grade A dairy on the farm is an outgrowth of ’cream sales that were begun in 1940. Sour cream was sold for 4 years, class C milk was delivered on a Borden Company milk route for 4 year, and grade A milk has been sold for the past 5 years. Four brood sows are kept for farm and market meat production. In order to balance labor and increase farm income the produc tion of broilers was begun in 1949 producing 10,000 and has grown to a capacity of 56,000 during 1953. Approximately 100 acres of im proved pastures along with other grading crops are used for cattle. In order to further balance the farm the remaining land is used for cotton, corn, small grains and timber. A little over two years ago the Neels built a modern 3 bedroom brick home near the modest one in which they were living. Mr. Neel sawed all lumber.

He swapped green lumber for these. As you drive into the farm you note an attractive lawn which has been planted for the winter as well as for the summer. Drives are conviently located to get to the barns, chicken houses, and tenant houses. Mr. A. E. Schillet- ter and the County Farm and Home Agents planned with Mr. and Mrs. Neel for these and also the walks. Miss Margaret Martin, Extension Service Food Produc tion and Conservation Specialist, worked with them on the founda tion plantings. These are mainly hollies and nandena. Mixed with them are arbividars, roses, ca mellias, gardenias and 2 boxwoods. By rooting and using what she had at the former home she has spent only $37.00 for shrubs. She has let her home grounds be a demonstration for those in the community. Already one pruning demonstration has been conduct ed by Miss Mlartin on the shrub- ery. Mrs. Neel says that the fam ily and neighbors have come just to see how she has planted her shrubbery.

There is only an arch between the two. A big picture window gives plenty of light in the living room. Through the win dow a beautiful forest scene can be seen. From the living room also one can go into, the central hall and then to the two bedrooms, den, bathroom, and kitchen. One bed room is in the attic. (This has not been completed and is used for storage.) Just off from the mast er bedroom is a half bath. The kitchen can be reached easily from thet^ dining room. In the kitchen you see about 30 ft. cabinet space and also a nice large pantry. Mrs. Neel says that she uses regularly these labor saving pieces of equipment: washing ma chine, vacuum cleaner, pressure cooker, and sauce pan, iron, electric perculator, electric waxer and buffer. Back of this is a small dinette where the family eats and a glassed back porch. Some of the next big things they hope to get is a central heat ing plant, a power mower and new furniture for the living and dining rooms. Even though they raise only broilers and sell milk to a large concern, Mrs. Neel has 30 hens and extra butter. Excess products are sold. Up until the new home was built the Neels had a garden, about an acre in size and canned over 500 qts. vegetables, fruits, and meats. They have access to a deep freeze at the store. Just recently they have pur chased a television. Other family recreation includes church and Community get togethers. They have an outdoor fireplace which they will use a great deal more when the little girl is a little old er. The entire family is active in the local Presbyterian church and Sunday School. Mrs. Neel belongs to the women of the church, a circle, and Sunday school. She has been both chairman and vice- chairman of her church, circle. She attends all study groups. She has been a member of the local Home Demonstration Club for over 12' years and bolds the following offices: vice president of the club and health chairman. While health chairman she helped to secure services of sanitarian to test water supplies of the neigh bors and clinics for community. Mr. Neel besides being active in the church is a member of the Farm Bureau, Woodmen of the World, and County Agricultural Committee. Mr, Neel’s relations with farm labor is clearly revealed by the fact that colored share croppers have.remained on the farm over a long period of years. One family has been- with him for twenty years and other families have been on his farm from 12 to 15 years. This family has been selected to work for the Balanced Farm Award and has been actively en rolled in this for two or more years. Rev. Robert H. Harper Jesus and the Samariums. Lesson for January 24: John 4: 27-42. Golden Text: John 4: 42. It is said that the Jews of our Lord’s time, when going from Jeru salem to Galilee, usually traveled east of the Jordan so as to avoid passing through cursed Samaria. But Jesus, with his disciples, on the occasion of which the lesson tells, took the road through Samaria. Did he do this that he might meet the woman at the well? Perhaps about noon, Jesus and the disciples reached Jacob’s well near the city of Sychar. And Jesus rested there wl^jje the disciples went away to buy food. After the woman of Samaria had come to the well to draw water arid was amazed at the words of the wondrous Stranger she had met there, she left her waterpot unfilled and hastened back to the city to tell the men of her experi ence. “Is not this the Christ?” she asked them. The forgotten waterpot, left at the well, is eloquent of the change of heart and new direction of de sires that will come to one who finds Jesus on the road of life. The woman hastened back to the city to tell the wondrous news and to invite men to see the Christ for themselves. There is a good lesson in that for us. Finding Christ for ourselves, let us be eager to bring others to know him. A good man, speaking of his conversion, said he knew it was genuine because he wanted to bring others to Christ.

Scott Elliott Leads Program On Life And Works Of Carl Sandburg The regular monthly meeting of the woman’s club of Newberry was held January 14, at the home of Mrs. H. B. Senn. In the absence of Mrs. S. C. Griffith, the presi dent, the meeting was presided over by Mrs. P. H. Monroe who conducted a short business meet ing. Mrs. A. J. Bowers, a member of the program committee, presented Mrs. F. Scott Elliott as the speak er for the afternoon. Mrs. Elliott, in discussing Carl Sandburg, the distinguished American writer, confined her remarks chiefly to the Poems of the Midwest and to his latest book, the autobiographical Always the Young Strangers. In discussing the Poems of the Midwest, she said that in 1913 some one brought to the editor of Poetry Magazine, a little batch of typewritten sheets of poetry, say ing a man named Carl Sandburg had written them. As the editor read them a conviction of their beauty and power swept over her, so in March 1913, she published them in her magazine. In 1916 they were published by Henry Holt and company as the Chicago Poems. In 1918 another volume entitled Cornhuskers was also published. In 1946 these two vol umes were published under the title of The Poems of The Mid west. Carl Van Doren considered these poems “a direct answer to Walt Whitman’s hope for a demo cratic poetry that would express a distinctly American speech.” It has been said that no other writer in American literature has ever panned in the pebbles of common speech and come up with more nuggets. He has a great gift for listening to the speech of the com mon people. Mrs. Elliott read a few of his poems including “Fog,” “Chicago” The bridegroom is the young est son of Mrs. I. C. Layton and the late Mr. Layton of Newberry. He is a graduate of Newberry High school and is now a senior at Newberry College. He is also employed at Bergen Clothing Co. Mr. and Mrs. Layton are re siding at 1105 Speers St. Out-of-down guests included Mrs. W. P. Hall and Miss Ann Hall of Greenwood, Mrs. R. L. Richey, Mrs. W. R. Richey and Mrs. Hilton Timms, all of Ware Shoals; also Mr. and Mrs. John W. Padgett of Atlanta. and “Prairie.” Always The Young Strangers was published, January 6, 1953, on the author’s 75th birthday. This book, a delightful memoir of his youth, 1878-1898, may be called a classic of the Middle West. It is uniquely American. Mrs. Elliott told of her visit in 1946 to Galesburg, Illinois, the set ting for the book and the birth place of the distinguished author. His father and mother came to this prairie city in 1870, emi grants fresh from Sweden. In 1946 the original birthplace was re stored, and In 1948, the state of Illinois established, as its special gift to it. The Lincoln Room. In 1940 Carl Sandburg won the Pulit zer Prize for his four volume bio graphy: Lincoln: The War Years. Mrs. Elliott displayed a copy of Life Magazine, Feb. 23, 1953, in which Carl Sandburg writes a per sonal story entitled “I Went Back to Galesburg.” He, as poet, novel ist, biographer, guitar player, and distinguished raconteur has lived 76 years about as richly as any one could. He has spent much of his time transferring to American Literature those ' heritages that have made the nation great. He fipds much quiet beauty in the hills of North Carolina where he lives in the beautiful home built in 1833 by Confederate Secre tary of the Treasury, Christopher Memminger, located at Flat Rock. 17 Couples Get Marriage Permits John A.
