HITAKER FUNERAL HOME AMBULANCE PHONE 270 What do you want with your bird dog when the hunting sea son is over? Let him languish in the back yard, put him in a boarding kennel and forget about him until next season, let him grow fat and lazy as the family pet? It’s a shame if you do when there is a ready-made sport just waiting for you to take advan tage of it. I mean bird-dog field trails. You say field trials ' are not for you—you've got a gun dog, not a race horse? Let me assure you that if your dog will hunt to the gun, is a good bird finder and will point and hold ’em until you can come up and flush, field trials are for you. The gun-dog or shooting-dog trials are proving very popular all over the country. In an ar ticle in Sports Afield magazine, dog expert Henry P. Davis ex plains that these are* one-course affairs where the competition is confined to a limited amount — Staple & Fancy Groceries Freak Produce—Meats—Fish & Poultry Frozen Foods Friendly Super Mkt.

Each brace of dogs is tested for ground work — hand ling response, style in action, hunting intelligence, pace and range—over a hack section of the course. Each brace is allowed the same amount of time, usual ly 30 minutes, in which to negoti ate the flagged coverts. The dogs are gradually swung, usually in a horseshoe shaped course, back to the more open area near the starting point, which is designed as a bird field. In this area pen- raised game birds (usually phea sants or quail) are planted or re leased. This bird field is placed in such a position that the gal lery of spectators can remain near the starting point and still see most of the game-handling work. Two experienced judges follow each brace. In almost’ every section of the country where bird dogs are to value in hunting, aportsmen’s clubs cooperate with each other in spacing events so as to pro vide a regular circuit of week end affairs that run from early spring into early summer, and from early fall into the regular hunting season. And in these pro grams many clubs provide stakes especially designed for rough and tumble “meat dogs” where niceties of manners and examples of the trainer's art (such as steadiness to wing and shot, and even hack ing or honoring a brace-mate’s point) are not absolute require ments. Here emphasis is placed on the dog’s manner of handling to the gun, responding to his owner’s command, his natural hunting ability and his proficiency in finding and handling game.

IT WILL SHORUY AFTER THE ANNIVERSARY* t*Tf OFYOUR POLICY* X A S I trudged along the highway, I began to wish I had heard what Judge Grayson wanted to tell me before I left home. But when I heard him and Mom talk ing in our living room, while I made a roast beef sandwich in the kitchen, I knew Mom was tell ing him something about Albert Button. Albert had run our farm since my father died taro years before, and he was in love with Mom. But he teased me and called me Carrot Top and I don't like Mm. , When the judge came into the kitchen and Mom stayed in die living room. I felt sure he was go ing to ten me that Mom and Al bert were going to be married, and I just couldn't stand that. So I rammed my sandwich in my pocket, jumped out the door and ran down to the highway, and kept going. I can run fast for a nine-year-old boy. Now, the sun was going down and I was almost to Brownsville, and I was hungry. I slipped up in to the woods and sat down by a spring of clear water to eat my sandwich. I hoped Mom would not worry about me. Mom was my guardian and had a lot of business to attend to with the County Judge. He was always kind and courteous, even to me, and when Mom didn’t go in town to see him on business, he came out to the farm and talked things over with her. He knew a lot about farming, and often gave Mom advice. I was so tired when I finished my sandwich, I laid down and dozed and next thing I knew it was the next morning and the sun was shining in my face. I washed my hands and face and combed my hair, then started on to Browns ville. Before long, 1 met a great crowd of boys from St. Cloud’s Orphanage on their way to a pic nic. And I joined them. Billie King, one of die boys, told me that it was vacation time for the at tendants, and the new people who iw worked' (while others would not know but what I was one of their boys. We had lots of fun, and sure enough I marched back to the Orphanage with the others, and managed to stay with “One of the boys’* all week. By Saturday, I was a trusty, and the new matron sent Billie and me to the drug store to get her some pills. While we were there, I ordered each of us a soda. As we were enjoying our sodas, I looked around and saw Joe Daws, a friend of Albert’s. “Hello. Larry Judd.*' Joe said with a grin. I nodded, but didn’t speak. “Did you know your mother was married before you left home?’’ he asked, still grinning, and I nodded again, although , 1 hadn't known. That night after supper, the matron called me into her office, and I told her the truth and begged her to let me stay. She was sur prised that the Home had not noticed that I didn’t belong there, but die didn’t make me feel bad about slipping in. uninvited. She said my mother had sent for me, and when I saw Albert grinning at me. I started to scream, and begged to stay. The matron put her arms around me, and asked me to go home. She said she Would see Judge Grayson and maybe I could come back. “Come on. Carrot Top,” Albert ordered, and the matron gave him a lecture about being respectful to children that he’ll never forget. I didn’t speak to him all the way home. ' Mom and Judge Grayson were waiting few us in the living roorri. Mom cried, but the judge laughed and patted my shoulder. “Son, why did you run away when I was going to tell you that I was your new daddy?’’ he disked, smiling at me. “Oh!” I yelled. “You mean Mom married you and not Albert?” "Of course, son,” he said, and I grabbed him around the waist. “Now, we’re a happy family,” were away, I said. And we are. CT-“ 1176 Countians Are Check Beneficiaries For the month of December, 1954 1176 persons in Newberry County x received benefit checks under Federal Old-Age and Survi vors Insurance. These benefits were payable because these peo ple worked in employment covered by the Social Security Law and paid,social security taxes. Beginning January 1, 1955, the tmoney mad» from larmlng will count towards social security benefits. Thus, Newberry County’s self-employed farm operators may find themselves receiving bene fits under this program in their old age. Should they die, their de pendents might also qualify for benefits.

Cotton Farmers Should Plant Or Release Acreage Every South Carolina farmer who holds a 1955 cotton acreage allotment should either plant it or release it to his county ACS com mittee so some other farmer can use it. Dr. M. C. Rochester, lead er, Glemson Agricultural Econom ics Extension Work, points out that this is highly important In order for the state to protect its present cotton acreage base in years ahead. i “Before any cotton acreage is released, however, a farmer should have a clear understand ing of how the release will affect the future cotton history pf the farm, he suggests. “Although a farm receives credit for any ac reage released, cotton must be planted on the farm at least one year ont of the last three years in order for the farm to be eligible for an ‘old grower* allotment A famer releasing the entire 1956 allotment fo a farm which has not planted cotton since 1952 will not be eligible for 4 1956 ‘old grower’ allotment” he concludes. Different closing dates for mak ing releases have been set for the western and for the eastern parts of the state, and local announce ments will be made as to the clos ing date for the respective coun ties.

They have two hands, two feet and sometimes two women, but never more than one dollar or more than one idea at a time. Like turkish cigarettes, they are all made of the same material, the only difference being that some are better disguised than others. Generally speaking, they may be divided into three classes: hus bands, bachelors and widowers. A batchelor is an eligible mass of obstinacy, entirely surrounded by suspicion. Husbands are of three types: prizes, surprizes and con solation prizes. Making a husband out of a man is one of the highest forms of plastic known to civili zation. It required science, sculp ture, common sense, faith, hope and charity—mostly charity. It is a psychological marvel that a small, tender, soft, violet scented thing like a woman should enjoy kissing a big, awkward, stubby chinned, tobacco and bay rum scented thing like a man. If you flatter a man you fright en him to death. If you don’t, you bore him to death. If you permit him to make love to you, he gets tired of you in the end. If you don’t, he gets tired of you in the beginning. If you believe him in everything, you cease to, charm him. If you believe all he tells you, he thinks you are a fool; If you don’t, he thinks you are a cynic and don’t trust him. • If you wear colors, rouge and a startling hat, he hesitates /to take you out. If you wear a little brown beret and a tailored suit he takes you out and stares all evening at a woman in gay colors, rouge and a startling haL If you join in the gayeties and approve of his drinking, he swears you are driving him to the devil. If you don’t approve of his inbibing and urge * him to give up his gayeties, he vows you are snow and ice. If you are the clinging vine type; he doubts whether you have a brain, if you are a modern, ad vanced, intelligent woman, he doubts whether you have a heart. If you are silly, he longs to have a bright mate; if you are intellec tual and brilliant, he longs for a playmate. Man is just a worm in the dust. He comes along, wiggles around for a while and filially some chicken gets him. —Author Unknown r- 4-H Club members exhibiting their calves at the Newberry County Fair.
