Soil Conservation Week Set April 4-IO British scientists are advanc ing the theory that new life is being created all around us. In this age of mass destruction, that comes as a welcomed thought. J. T. McCraekin. Jr. has an nounced that the week of April 4- lo will be observed in Newberrv i j Founty as "Soil Conservation District Week." This district is ! cooperating with the 43 other - Soil | Conservation districts irt South (Carolina in this observance. | Mr. MeCrackin. chairman of the j Board of Supervisors of the New berry SCI), says this observance was decided on at the annual meeting o the S. C. Association of SCI) Supervisors held at Green ville in January. “Never have the people of a free country faced a greater- challenge to their resourcefulness and abil ity than the challenge of soil and water conservation.” he said. He describes it this way: “Erosion has a chain of reactions. Soil washes pff a field and finally piles up in a reservoir behind a man-made dam. A gully creeps up the slope without regard to fences, property lines, county lines, or state lines. Water rushed off over-grazed pastures to flood land and towns below - .” “The only American answer to these problems.” Mr. McCraekin says. ■ “is for people to cooperate in their solution. The machinery for such cooperation is a Soil Con servation District.” “Out of experience, the Soil Conservation District idea was born. The men most concerned with conservation that as long as land was used by free people, the people themselves must or ganize to use it safely and per manently. They understood that, though the soil of America is of concern to all Americans, the users of the land themselves w*ould have to shoulder a heavy part of the burden." he said. Soil conservation service tech nicians have helped prepare 1203 soil and water conservation plans as of December 31. 1953 for farm ers cooperating with the Newber ry County Soil Conservation Dis trict. This indicates that farmers are aroused about soil and water eonservation and are doing some thing about it. There are now - about 25,000.000 people on farms in America. The total population is about 160,000,- 000. So we see there are about six people off the farm for each one on the farm but all depend on the soil for food, shelter, and clothing. “Since so much of our land is in the hands of individual ow - ners, where it should be, and since there is only about 15 percent of our population on the land we can say that never before in the history of this country has so much been entrusted to so few by so many,” said Mr. McCraekin. Since all depend on the land, soil and water, conservation is everybody’s business. “School teachers, civic groups, business people, preachers, youth groups and others in Newberry County Soil Conservation District recognize this and all are joining hands to make the w - eek of April 4-10 outstanding in emphasis of soil and water conservation and its benefits to people, communit ies. business, general welfare, and national security,” according to Mr. McCraekin. Some of the activities planned for Soil Conservation District Week in this county are: Monday night—Youth Night Program with conservation emphasis for F.F.A., J.HA.. 4-H. and Scout groups; Tuesdav night — Meeting of Farm- Friendly Super Market Opens Tomorrow A new self-service grocery and market. Friendly Super Market, w ill open its doors here tomorrow. The new store owned and man aged by Joe Hipp is located at llnO Main street. This building was formerly occupied by Hoover's store.

In addition, all per sons attending the opening will be given a chance without obligation on a 21” RCA Television set that is to be given away at a later time. Mr. Hipp is not a stranger to Newberry. He has been employed by various establishments here over the past years. More recent ly he operated his own business in Prosperity and Joanna. Ib* extends a cordial invitation for the public* to come in at any time and inspect Hie facilities available. Delivery service will also be featured Mr. Hipp said. Inspection Of Septic Tanks Ii Law Reouirement » Tlu* following article concerning installation of septic* tanks in Newberry county has been issued by the county health department: There has been a great increase in the number of septic tanks in stalled in Newberry in the last few - years. A large number of these tanks have not been put in proper ly. A septic tank is not completed until it has been accepted by a representative of the State Board of Health. This inspection of the Septic* tank protects the Home Owner from unscrupulous persons who would take advantage of them and give them a tank that would not be complete or one that would work for a short length of time and then give a great deal of trou ble. The Health Department is glad to cooperate with anyone that is putting in a Septic tank and will advise the owner as to where to put it and how to do the work. Plans and specifications are avail able from the Health Department free of charge. All septic tanks that are install ed in Newberry County must be inspected by the County Health Department. It w'ould be advisable that the plumber or the contractor not be paid until the “Certificate of Inspection” has been received by the home owner. This certi fies that the septic* tank has been installed according to the rules and regulations of the State Board of Health, and should render sat isfactory service under normal use.
