50 Per Year
To State Hospital
Patients to the S. C. 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.

(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!

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.
