AT the risk of being tarred and
** feathered by every mother and
child in the country, we just have
to wonder out loud why Frances
Horwich of ^TBCs famed “Ding
Dong School” must be so ingratiat
ing and patronizing in her ways
. . . 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.

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.

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.

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.
