State Hos pital have averaged more than fifty per year from Newberry County, records of the Probate Judges office at the New'berry County Courthouse show. More than four hundred persons have been admitted to the hospital or re-admitted during the last eight years. Judge Maxcy Stone said. “The great majority of people who suffer from a mental illness are treated and discharged from the hospital in a comparatively short time,” Mr. Stone stated. “But in cases of extreme age and in cases involving certain types of mental illness, the treatment is extended over a period of months or years.” The increase in state appropria tions for improved buildings have resulted in better facilities for the care of the ill patients and the care given patients in the S. C. State Hospital compares very favorably wMth such hospitals over the na tion. Sports Afield MISS EARGLE VACATIONING IN PHILADELPHIA AND N. Y. Miss Esther "Pat” Eargle left Wednesday night for a two week’s vacation trip to Philadelphia and New York. She will visit her sis ter. Miss Theresa Eargle in Phila delphia, and spend several days on a sight seeing tour of New York. Miss Louise Foster of Gainsville, Ga., w’ill relieve Miss Eargle at the Western Union Office while she Is away. (By TED RESTING) We credit game with super in telligence, and we act according ly. But many of us credit fish with no brains at all, and act according ly. And we get no fish. The experience that started me wondering about the comparative intelligence of fish and men hap pened when the city of Lakeland, Fla., hired a company to make a fishing movie and gave Fred W. Jones the job of technical director. To get underwater shots a "sub marine” boat was used: Jones fished from the deck and movies were shot through special _ port holes three or four feet below the surface. , I had always believed that the idea in casting was to be accurate —to hit the bass on the nose. But that’s not the way it is. Jones and his party found that wiien a lure— surface or underwater plug, bug or fly—landed within two feet of a fish, he invariably ran away. Sometimes he turned and came back, but fish invariably ran away from a close-hitting lure. It was found that they invari ably ran toward a lure that landed three to six feet away. But that does not mean they always hit. In fact, fewer than one out. of 10 struck, even when the lure was al lowed to lie where it hit. And there’s another thing. Less than one out of 100 of those that ran at the lure hit at the end of the run. They charged right up there all * right, and if it was are underwater bait they usually fol lowed it a bit. Some even tasted it. If it was a surface lure* such as a bug or plug, they’d charge up and then stop six inches below it and watch intently. If it was “popped” or moved sharply, they invariably ran away. But if It was moved only slightly, after a long wait, sometimes they hit. So, in spite of all you might have been told by “smart” fish ermen, w’e leant from the fish themselves that they're fright ened by a close-hitting lure, and will run from it. We learn they are curious (and maybe hungry) so they run toward a lure that lands far enough away not to pre sent an immediate threat. But again, caution, and 1 fear, keeps thpm from hitting immediately. Rather, they stop and look the lure over from close by. You say you do catch a few, even a limit now and then? Well, Jones is convinced that fish vary in intelligence, just like people. And that’s why you do catch some fish. You’ve been catching the idiots and morons!

C. Timber Thinning 4-Hers Named Vernon Jenkins, 15 year old boy of the McCullough Community near Whitmire and George Oxner, 16 year old 4-H member of New berry High have been declared winners in the county wide 4-H Timber Thinning Project just comi- pleted announces County Agent P. B. Ezell and Assistant County Agent W. A. Ridgeway. This is the ninth year the pro ject has been open to young folks with awards to the winners being furnished by the Champion Paper and Fibre Company of Newberry. It is also the first year that the contest ended in a first place tie with duplicate awards being given. Vernon is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Jenkins, Route 1, Whit mire. He is In the tenth grade and is looking fprward to studying Agriculture at college within a few years. He has been in 4-H Club work seven years and has banked his earnings from dairy, poultry, corn, oats, and forestry to help with the expenses. For his plot he selected a 28 year old stand of lobloly pines and marked the crowded, crooked and. defective trees cutting them with a cross cut saw with the aid of Elmer, his 11 year old brother, while his dad cut others with a borrowed power saw. The trees were very crowded and he reports 17 cords of pulpwood cut and sold at the farm for $144.50. And that isn’t all. Three cords of firewood was sawed from the small trees and was used at the farm. He es timates sixty hours spent on the project. Thus for getting his woodland in better shape to grow he received approximately $2.50 per hour for hfs efforts. George Oxner is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Oxner of Route 1, Newberry. Young Oxner’s brother Bobby had a forestry project last year and was of help in pointing out the kind of trees to cut. His loblolly pines were approximately 28 years old. His father helped with the cutting and the project was completed in a total of 25 hours. The eight cords of pulp- wood sold on the farm for $68.00 or approximately the same as Ver non’s. The crowded trees were cut and the better trees left to 1 grow. Third place winner of $3.00 and a pocket knife went to Jerry Or- ner, 13 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. .L Oxner of Nance street, Newberry and fourth place winner of an all purpose pocket knife went to John Koon of the Prosper ity section. "The projects have been better each year,” says Assistant County Agent W. A. Ridgeway who sup ervised the work and gave the boys advice and encouragement. “The purpose of this phase of our work,” according to Mr. P. B. Ezell, "is to teach young folks how to care for trees and how to get the best cash returns from them over the years. By teaching boys the value of caring for their timber now, they will be in a position to properly manage their valuable woodlands in later years.” The pulpwood industry offers us an excellent market from trees cut in giving good trees better space to grow. "The Champion Paper and Fibre Company has been most generous in making awards possible,” says Mr. Ridge way, and we plan to continue the thining contest. Boys who are in terested should sign up with, the County Agent.
