m* $ m THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1954 THE NEWBERRY SUN Sports Afield By TED KESTING I suspect the two most frequent ly asked questions in angling are: How do you make bait for catfish? How do you make doughballs for carp? So here's how, recipes courtesy of fishing expert Bill Wolf: You can make a simple cold mix from molasses or honey (Izaak Walton preferred sugar or honey), white flour, corn meal and possibly a bit of cotton. Work them to gether until they form a rubbery mass. Carry the bait in a damp cloth. For a hot mix, bring sweet ened water to a boil, pour in corn meal to make a mush and boil un til it leaves the sides of the pan. Remove and roll and kneed in white flour until the mixture be comes rubbery. Some anglers add m a s h ed potatoes. Incidentally, boiled potatoes, canned peas and whole kernal corn are fine carp baits.) Pull a small piece of dough from the main mass, roll until it’s the size and shape of a pea or navy bean, and put on a corresponding ly tiny hook. If you’re lazy, buy a loaf of baker’s white bread. It is doughy enough so you can easily roll your own doughballs. Catfish baits are in a class by themselves, although they will take doughballs, too. And channel catfish sometimes hit spinners, spoons and plugs, but are more likely to take live bait such as minnows, crawfish, insects ^nd worms. But the favorite bait is often a chemist’s nightmare, consisting of rotting and putrid substances such as chicken blood and entrails, de caying fish flavored with anise oil or asafetida, even spoiled meats of various kinds. If you want to-make up a stink bait, as these masses are elegant ly named, you might try setting some salted tripe out in a hot sun to spoil, and flavor the tripe with a bit of anise oil. This isn’t too un pleasant to use, and stays on the hook well. However, it is signifi cant that some of the best among men who run trotlines for catfish use only large, live minnows as bait. Noted In Estate Settlements Probate Judge Maxcy Stone said today that of 506 estates pro cessed through the office of Pro bate Judge only 98 engaged at torneys in some capacity; 401 had been completed throughout without the services qf lawyers. Several estates are now in process .of set; tlement. The figures cited above extend from January 1, 1947 to the pre sent. Four out of five estate^ re quiring no attorney is an unusual record, considering the fact that so many questions are involved and there is so much variation in the assets of estates. Attorneys generally are retained when claims are made against estates and the adjudication of the claims by the Probate Court is made after lawyers present the re spective sides. Judge Stone has never had one of his decisions on such matters appealed to a higher court by the losing side since he has been in office. Every lawyer now practicing in Newberry county has made ap pearances in the Probate Court. “Members of the bar association in Newberry are cooperative and the relationship with them is excel lent,” Mr. Stone said, “The people of Newberry County are fortunate to have such a group of men en gaged in the profession of law.” The man was trying out a riding horse, having in mind purchasing it as a gift for his wife. Noticing that the horse w r as quite spirited and required a firm hand he in quired of the owner, “Do you think that a. woman could handle this horse?” “Well.” replied the owner after some deliberation, “let’s put it this way ... a woman- could handle that horse all right, but I wouldn’t want to be the husband of the woman -who could do it.” INSURED SAVINGS Your Savings Received By The 10th of Each Month t Receive Earnings from the 1st.

Has Installation Of New Officers The May meeting of the Pros perity Parent-Teacher Association was called to order promptly at 8:00 p.m. by the president, Mrs. Dan Hamm, Jr. The roll was called by grades and the minutes of the last meet ing were read and approved as read. Mrs. Julian Ruff acted as secretary in the absence of Mrs. Philip Kelly. Ralph Black gave the auditors report for the year’s financial record. The balance on hand at this reading was $505.82. The recommendations of the ex ecutive committee were read as follow® to the group: The ex ecutive committee wishes to go on record to recommend that we do leave the mills on and that we write a letter to this effect to the county delegation. The county council and Speers Street School have acted on this matter in such a manner and ask ed that these mills be used for school purposes. The executive committee also made and passed on a motion that a barbecue pit with a cover be built on the school ground in the neighborhood of the old pit. The cost of which was not to exceed $250. A committee was appointed to serve on the work for seeing about this pit. They are: Mr. C. E. Hendrix, Mr. W. B. Hendrix, and Mr. B. C.. Bedenbrugh. The group accepted and voted in favor of both of the above recom mendations. Four delegates — the president and three other delegates were ap pointed for the county council for next year. They are as follows: Mrs. Bittle Hawkins, the presi dent; Mrs. Jakie Bowers, Mrs. Grady Lee Halfacre and Mrs. Cor nell Bedenbaugh. Dan Hamm. Jr. announ-ced that a scout master has not been se cured by the scout committee and that they were turning this mat ter over to the PTA to secure the scout master. He said that Walter Hamm would not serve as master after July 1, 1954. The president accepted this and said that it would be put under unfinished business. The new officers for the com ing year were installed by Supt. C. E. Hendrix. Those installed were: Mrs. Bittle Hawkins, presi dent; Mrs. Bill Boozer, first vice president; Mrs. Ruth Pugh, second vice president; and Grady Lee Halfacre, treasurer. Mrs. Philip Kelly who was absent at this meeting will serve as secretary again next year. Devotions were capably led by Mrs. W. E. Hancock. She used I Corinthians 13 as her scripture and gave fitting comments and prayer. The president, in evaluating the programs for the year, read aloud the PTA objectives and then ask- ed the group to think of these things and how well they had been observed as she read the topics of each program. Supt. C. E. Hendrix commented after the above report was made that there was only one csiticism to 'be made—‘*If only there could have been 200 parents present in stead of 50.”He highly commended the president and the program chairman and committee for rend ering such an excellent job. The president announced that the film “Meeting Emotional Needs in Childhood” was to be the first part of the program and that Mr. Philip Kelly, dean of Men at Newberry College, would give a discussion following the film. Program The film “Meeting Emotional Needs in Childhood.” gave the de velopment of the Child’s attitude tow r ard people and his sense of community responsibility. It il lustrated through scenes from a family picnic how each member of the family informed the others and ho\T both the security and in dependence needs of the children w ? ere wisely met by the parents. Classroom scenes show-ed how the teacher can meet various situa tions which arise. Philip Kelly, dean of men and alumni secretary at Newberry College, gave a talk on some of the facts brought out in the above film. He gave \is certain fundamentals to discuss together and cause us to think. He revealed that he did enjoy working with young people and to be able to work with them satisfactorily you must know and understand the basic fundamental needs of a Child—namely—1. He must have a feeling he is loved. 2. He must have a feeling he be longs. 3. He must have a feeling he is wanted. If a child has self-confidence he is willing to tackle anything in the world. He will be willing to meet life’s situation in a good manner* A child cannot be overbalanced. If a child in growing up meets BOOKMOBILE SCHEDULE Thursday, June 10, 1954 Box Factory, Cause’s store.

A baby who does not feel secure may push away his spoon and thus cause malnutrition even if he is a member of a good home. A child who cannot read is often an unwanted child. The child must be given a definite feeling of love. Parents often lack giving praise and recognition to children. A child has a certain, ability of achievement. If pushed too soon, he feels he is a failure. A mark of success of a good teacher is to find out the ability of children. Look for a sign of readiness in a child. Let the child do when he becomes ready. Certain factors may help in this readiness. Mr. Kelly’s closing words were: “Remember you were a child—let a child act as a child—grow with them, work with them.” The group ended the program by praying together the PTA Prayer. Refreshments—cokes and crack ers were served by the hospitality cormnil/ee in the hallway. A fel lowship period was enjoyed by all. Koons Hosts Sunday On 28th Anniversary , Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
