Mike Parkman, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Parkman, Newberry Junior High
School 4-H Club member as he received the pine seedlings given by the West Vir

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

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.

by liTN CONNELLY
TBfOGENE COCA, who has found
A it pretty rough going without
her former co-star^ Sid Caesar, is
beginning to find the range on her
own ... It still isn't the same
as the team, though . . . One of
these days both these performers
are going to admit they should
never have gone separate ways
. . The team was terrific, the
solos only mediocre . . . Danny
Thomas and spouse celebrated
their 19th anniversary recently, al
ways a happy note in a divorce-
riddled scale these days . . .
"Breakfast dub," one of the bet
ter morning TV shows, may have
to withdraw from the field because
of lack of sponsors. /
Jack Benny visited Florida for
the first time recently . . . Rita
Hayworth and hubby Dick Haymes
are planning a Las Vegas appear
ance together . . . They have been
allegedly offered $50,TOO for one
week . . . Perry Como was offered
as much for a week but he refuses
to leave his family . . . Here is
one fellow who is quite content
with his lot, namely radio, TV and
hit records. He is not anxious to
toy with marital happiness by try
ing new ways of making more
money.
PLATTER CHATTER
COLUMBIA: — Art Carney,
Jackie Gleason's biggest asset, has *
a new record, written and intro
duced by him on the Gleason TV
stanza, "Sheesh, What a Grouch!"
This, of coarse, is the favorite ex
pression of Ed Norton, played by
Art in the skit “The Honey-
mooners". . . You'D enjoy it, espe
cially if you're a TV fan . . . It’s
backed by "She never Left the
Table". . . The wonderful MahaUa
Jackson has a flue disc In "Walk
Over God's Heaven" backed by
"Jesus Met the Woman at the
WeU."

Longshore and Mrs. Longshore;
Charles Sllgh and Mrs. Sligh;
Ralph Waldrop and Mrs. Waldrop,

Supt. and Mrs. John G. Long
were also present.
Rev. Claude Thompson, husband
of Vonetta Thompson, was called
on by Mr. Long to pronounce the
invocation, after which a delicious
supper consisting of steak, chick
en and fish was served at eight
o'clock.
Mr. Long acted as master of
ceremonies. He asked egch mem
ber of the class to give their ad
dress and occupation, and also to
introduce their guests and give
the number of children they have.
After those present were brought
up-to-date on the activities of Sil
verstreet High by Mr. Long, he
turned the business session over
to Jack Craft, president of the
1941 class.
After some discussion and vote
by the class to have a class reun
ion annually, Mr. Craft asked Rev.
Thompson to dismiss them with
the benediction.
