Parkman, Newberry Junior High School 4-H Club member as he received the pine seedlings given by the West Vir ginia Pulp and Paper Company wood yard near Prosperity, operated by H. M. Hentz and Son. ~ t Yes, The 4-H Club Members Plant Trees.... Yes, tree planting is part of forestland management, and is a part of the 4-H Club achievement program. When seed sources have been destroyed by fire or clearing, the quickest way to get the land back into tim ber is to plant trees. Forest industries even use helicop ters to scatter seed from the air over some areas that need planting. Most of the time, though, Nature plants her own trees . . . Tree farmers harvest trees in such a way that new ones spring up in their place. It’s all part of good woodland management. GOOD LUCK TO THE 4-H CLUB MEMBERS AND THEIR LEADERS IN THEIR WONDERFUL WORK H. M. HENTZ AND SON — PULPWOD DEALERS — Highway 76, (on cut off) Newberry, S. C. T> ECENTLY there hss been in * the new* much about the pro posed building of a “space plat form" or man-made sattelite which would be suspended-in space thou sands of miles above the earth. Science says it can be done, al though it would take years, and cost even more money than there is in Fort Rnox. The supposed purpose of the sattelite would be to provide a "jumping off" place for man's conquest of outer space. Some of our best scientists dis agree on whether or not the space platform should be attempted. If it will do any good, I offer my vote and state now that I am not at all in favor. Through the years our scientists and inventors have come up with some wonderful things — things which have made living \as we know it today something of az> art We can get a machine or gadget that will perform any re quired task — even to scratching the back. The fly in the ointment is there because science, while giving us all these wonderful things, also came up with a couple of bombs (atomic and hydrogen) that are capable of blowing us and all these wonderful gadgets dear up to the moon. Now they want to make it worse by discovering what sort of life we’ll have on the moon even be fore we get there. I just don’t believe I care to know what sort of life—if any exists on the moon. If we go too far we may discover that it is popu lated by a race of ugly cannibals. Then think how difficult it would be for any Tom, Dick or Harry to get his gal to wax romantic by looking upon such a horrible spectacle.
