We realize she is an educator by profession and certainly chil dren could be in no better or cap able hands, but her “ooo’s and ahs’* and various other squeals throughout the program make it sound like something more for in fants than pre-kindergarten small fry . . . She reminds us of the peo ple who keep saying “kitchy- kitchy-koo” to babies. There is a local show called “Romper Room” run by a very pleasant person named Rosemary Rapp . . She treats children like they were small human beings eager to learn and play . . . She 'may not be an educator but she applies the common sense method of getting along with little ones . . . She’s understandable and thor oughly delightful for the children and music to the ears of their mothers . . . Much more credit should be given her for her efforts than has been done in the past.

In addition to carrying out its original purpose, the building now houses some county offices. In South Carolina, a show- place of Mills’ master architec ture, the United States Brewers Foundation works constantly to encourage maintenance of whole some conditions wherever beer and ale are sold. As in other states, the program calls for cloee cooperation between law-enforce ment officials and beer licensees throughout South Carolina. Beer belongs... enjoy it. United States Brewers Foundation South Carolina Div., Columbia, S.C BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Pleasant memories of boyhood carry me back to the “Drug Store” at Chapin. Not a drug store as we know it now. But a place for penny candy, that sold 6 for a nickel. We didn’t deal in that latter figure often though. It was usually a penny for us. And back then you could get a pretty good fill of candy for one cent. This store was ruh by “Col onel” Frick and his sister. Miss Fannie. I dont think either ever married. Colonel was a dig nified man, and Miss Fannie a delightful little woman that did most of the work. There were several other gen eral stores In town there. But I seldom darkened the door then. To me, Colonel Frick’s drug store was about the near est thing to heaven I knew of in our Stone Hills. He’d get a large block of ice from Columbia, 22 miles away, every other day on the old mi se ed train that came through. It came with sawdust around it in a large sack. With that, thdy made unspeakable delights with red, pink and yellow syrup. My favorite was “Pineapple Ice.” It was made by filling a glass with shaved ice. It was cut from the block with a hand sha ver that made it just like snow. Over that was poured some sy rup, flavored with pineapple. It was then stirred down ^ to the right consistency. Then on top of that was put a spoonful! of the pure essence of delight, crushed pineapple, thick and sweet, and stirred in. This gave it all a slight amber odtor. It always had trouble to keep my mouth from drooling ' while It was being made. i \ , ■ Miss Fannie would then hand it to me across the counter, as I dropped my nickel In the slot there in the cloqk. (I’ll have to tell you about that clock next week.) Then, folks, for about 20 minutes after this country boy from the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork wouldn’t have swap ped places with anybody, not John D. Rockefellow himself. That is still a mighty good concoction. We made some at home the other summer. But I don’t know of anywhere it is made commeccialiy now. \ Clemson Extension Information Specialist The beverage: r Many To Attend Winthrop Meet Around 16 members of the New berry County Council of Farm Women leave Tuesday for the 35th annual convention of the South Carolina Council of Farm Women at Winthrop College in Rock Hill. About 600 from throughout the state are expected to attend the three day session. The theme of the 1955 session will be “Better Communities Through Active Leaders.” Mrs. M. H. Lineberger of Catawba, president, will preside.

Bethel Garmany Club, a dried flower arrtmgement by Mrs. C. B. Rarr, Sr. of the Jalapa Club, a piece of refinished furniture by Mrs. A. N. Crosson, Sr. of the Sil- verstreet Club and a hand painted figurine by Mrs. H. O. Long also of the Silverstreet Club. On Wednesday a workshop for Departmental Chairman will be held, at which time the State Pro gram for 1955-56 will be planned.

Veterans Warned To Have Money Veterans starting Summer school under the Korean GI bill may have to wait until late in the summer term for their first allowance checks, since under the law it ta^es about two months for the money to reach,, them. For that reason, veteran train ees are asked to bring along a “nest egg” of their own to tide them over for the initial period. Very often an entire summer se mester may last no longer than two months. Once the GI checks start com ing, they will cover every month of training completed, so long as veterans make sure their schools file monthly attendance certifi cates with the Veteran’s admin istration. The following reasons are given for the delay in getting out the checks: First, the law requires the al lowances to he paid after the end of each month of training com pleted, and not before. Further payment for an initial period of training of less than a full month may be deferred until the end of the following full month.* All that accounts for at least one month’s delay. And second, after the end of the month, the veteran must sign a certification stating he was attending class during the month. The school sends this cer tification to the VA. Usually, a veteran’s check should go out within 20 days after the time VA receives the certification. This, roughly, accounts for the remain der of the two-month waiting per iod. IRRIGATION WELLS | They are getting surprisingly good irrigation wells at places. Our underground water resources have not been very thoroughly explored. It took our present interest in irrigation to prompt the getting of a lot of this infor mation. We don’t have all the information we need about this yet. But the well-digging folks are sure adding to their know ledge. And now they are getting to where they can more accu rately guarantee their work. * County' Agent - Willis ' of Ches- terfield. was telling me of the promising 8 inch irrigation well C. S. McLeod put down the past winter on the high sandhills there near McBee. Itis 316 feet deep. Water stands at the 165-foot level. On tegt, it pumped 620 gallops a minute. They, feel it will settle down and sustain at least 500 gallons per minute. With County Agent Bowen I saw a heavier producing well on Jack Brogdon’s farm in Sumter. His was not nearly as deep and water came to within about 19 feet of the surface last fall when It was so dry. And down in Jasper, County Agent Tate showed me a 12?inch well that saved 200 acres of fine corn last summer. ^ . An adequate source of water is the first consideration. Many do not have it But mofe and more folks are trying to get it. In some cases in certain areas it is wells, as above. But water like that isn’t just everywhere, the experts tell me. At other places the source is a running stream. But they often fail during drought, when need most. Thousands of v ponds are to be found over the state. And more are being built constantly. They will likely prove to be our main fort in irri- 'gation. For the Almighty sends the water to all of our land. But most of it now runs away. Sure ly we can devise means for hold ing some of it there handy until we need it. And that means ponds, lakes, and holes of all sorts.. All of these need expert engineering! if dry ponds are to be avoided. And their safety fac tors need to be looked after too. IMPROVED CULTURE - / Did you know tbe cultivated acreage in this country is now the same as It was in 1910? Since then we have been put ting science to work instead of more acres to take care of our growing needs. And, incidentally, further de veloping that same thought, that was about the time Dr. Knapp started what we now know as Ex tension Work. He said to write the lessons of science on the ground, in the community with the field demonstration. Folks could read and would heed that. And his idea grew into the Coop erative ((Federal-State) Extension Service we now have. It has been studied by many countries of the world, and a lot of ’em have set up similar work in recent years. Old, true and tried county agents have been hired by those coun tries. Some of the results have already been spectacular. A writer in a national magazine, just after the last ^world war re turned and wrote, “What Europe needs most is about 100 good County Agents.” Yes, we have gone far in filling growing needs from the same number of acres since 1910. And we haven’t reached the peak of that yet. For that great produc tion potential of supplementary irrigation is just beginning to be brought into pjay. And it carrier yield insurance we haven’t known before. Apply it to more and more of our acres, and they will continue to provide abundance for our growing millions for many decades to come. WAR ON THE ROACH War is being waged on the roach in every county of the state now. Science now has • an effective remedy for them. Ma terials are available locally. Ask your county agent for particulars. A similar campaign was waged against flies la&t summer with excellent results. And against household ants, bed-bugs, etc., the new poisons are equally ef fective. It is not necessary to be bothered by these pests any long er. ♦ - Scientists believe that vibra tions transmitted thru the water by a person walking along the bank will cause fish to dart away out into deeper water.

IT IS ILLEGAL TO CHARGE VETERANS any discount OR OTHER SUCH FEES £ m *By Carol Lana* Woman's Travol Authority This summer really can be the “good, oM summertime” if you spend as much of it as possible in yourcaren route to vacation pleas ure. And your travel enjoyment will be doubled if you know how to care for your car and use it to full advantage. Car trouble is no fun at any time, but it’s particularly aggra vating on vacation. Some of the following “ABC’s of carfare” may help you avoid trouble and enrich your fun on your next trip. To avoid fiat tires and blowouts, the most frequent summertime troubles, keep , your tires prop- erly inflated. Hbve them checked fre quently for cuts, bruises or un even wear. In case of a blow out, keep calm, steer straight ahead and let yonr decelerating engine itself act as a brake. When the car- is under control, pump gently on the brakes and pull off to the side. Car stalling is occasionally caused by vapor lock—overheated gasoline vaporising and blocking tne fuel passage. You can handle this situation by turning off the ignition, lifting the hood to aid air circulation around the engine and waiting for three or four minutes. As the engine cools, the vapor lock will be dissipated. You can prevent your engine from overheating at the start by a few simple tricks. Use low gear only when necessary. Don’t turn off your engine during constant stop-and-go driving. During such long waits, speed up your motor for about 30 seconds at two-minute intervals to make the fan turn fatter. Shift into neutral during enforced idling periods. Summertime radiator trouble can be stopped by having your anti-freeze solution drained off, the cooling system flushed and then filled with water containing a cor rosion inhibitor. And remember that your oil must be maintained at a proper level to do a thorough job throughout the engine. So have it measured on the dipstick under the hood and changed at required intervals.
