MEMORIAL SERVICES on the far-away Pacific Island of Iwo Jima are still being held each year.
On this tiny pear shaped island 2!/^ miles wide by five miles long, $0,000 U. S. Marines fought a fanati
cal Japanese enemy for over a month from February 19 until March 25, 1945 in one of the bitterest
battles in history. In the composit picture above, veterans of the hard fought battle are shown attend
ing services at the graves of their fallen buddies.

/»»»»»»»»
ZJk in h it Overt
J UST OFF the Anderson-
Clemson highway, on Hurri
cane creek, is located what is
said to be the highest over-shot
water wheel in the country.
From the point where Hurri
cane creek crosses Highway 76,
near the top of a hill (this in
itself being quite an oddity) for
something like 600 yards the
creek has a precipitous fall.
The water for the mill is
taken from the creek right
near the highway bridge, and
through a contour canal down
back of the old mill, where it
has a 40-foot falL There it is
turned onto the over-shot water
wheel, which is 40 feet in diam
eter and develops great power
in its rather slow rythmic turns.
It i» not known when this mill
was built, but it is certain that
it was in operation in 1826. The
present owner and operator is
George W. Smith, Anderson
route 2, who has had it for 48
years. The mill grinds flour,
meal, grits, feed, shucks and
shells corn, and runs a sawmill
from the water wheel. The gin,
which was operated there for
many years, has been discon-
jtinued.

I REMEMBER
BY THE OLD TIMERS
From Lonnie E. Legge, Lewis-
burg, West Virginia: I remember
when my father used to tell me. I’d
better watcb out which^ side my
bread was buttered on? I never
understood ‘till years later what
he meant by it, as I always ate
both sides anyway.
Those days most babies learned
to sit alone by sitting in a horse
collar. Their teething was done on
a harness ring. Folks just went
up the ridge and cut a thorn bush
to sweep their yard in the spring.
It not only cleaned it, but culti
vated at the same time.
. About that time the women folks
would take a couple of dozen eggs
to the store and swap them for a
yard of print calico to make a
ruffled split bonnet for summer
wear.
And men and women sat on oppo
site sides of the church.
• • •
From Mrs. Minnie Thomas,
Bland, Missouri: 1 was born on a
Missouri farm 60 years ago and
wonder how many remember the
pretty “lawn dresses” we wore
and washed gently, hanging them
in the shade so they wouldn’t
fade . . . the frilly petticoats, often
three or four . . . the’ “trundle
bed” with a shuck tick to sleep
on . . . children’s shoes came to
the store in a wooden barrel in
stead of shoe boxes . . . we had
free range and the cow bell could
be heard far from home ... it
was a disgrace for a girl to have
a date during the week days . . .
wooden- ashes from huge fireplaces
were put into a hopper and saved
to make lye fbr soao.

when w r omen won’t admit their age
and men won’t act theirs.
