STEP SAVER THE NEWBERRY SUN FO*eST*Y-US.A. fc&re hilltop when the thunders are rolling overhead is particular Jy dangerous. Tne experts tell us high charges of electricity build up in thunder beads. When pressure gets to the breaking point, it strikes out at the nearest object to the earth And if that’s you on a mule, or you standing or riding in an open field, or a lone tree under which you are standing, it’s just too had. WHAT WILL BECOME OF YOUR PROPERTY Our Dr. Rochester raises the Question, “What will become of your property at your death?" Then he points out that you have the privilege of determining that beforehand in a will. But about half of the folks neglect the making of a will. Then a long, and often costly, process of set* fling the estate, according to law, Is the only way out. Information leaflet entitled, "What Will Happen To Your Prop erty?" tells about this and carries a model of a simple will. It is free from your county or home agent or from Ciemson. WORE CAPITAL NOW Dr. Rochester tells me the av erage amount of money invested per farm worker has multiplied lour times since 1940. Then it was $3600; now it is $14,000! Costs are up. But that doesn’t anything like account for* this. Mechanization has enabled the worker to cover so much more ground. It takes a lot more cap ital to back him up now. Change, change, the constancy of it! TOBACCO PENALTY The penalty on overplanting to bacco this year was increased from 50 to 75 per cent of the prev ious year’s average price. That will be about 39 cents a pound tax. On top of that, overplanted acreage will not be used in figur ing future allotments. The tobacco folks have sure forfeited their program with teeth Overplanted acreage can’t profit a grower now. When they say con trol they really meant it. There is one oase I know of where a big group of farmers largely control their own destiny. Tbey can and do keep their pro duction well in line with demand. And the years have been good to ■them since they’ve been doing this. WATER MEAN6 LIFE I read where in the half cen tury up to 1962 the United States •pent $£174,633,749 in reclaiming 6,713,015 acres of farm land from western deserts and dry ranges. That averages $321 per acre. The cost of reclaiming this land means principally making water for ir rigation available to it. To date, understand, about 25 per cent of that has been paid back. The act under which this was done applied only to 17 western states until last year. Then it was extended to include all states. Even here in the rainfall belt, where scads of folks are already on the land trying to make a liv ing from it, we have great need for insuring water to them, such as makes life possible on western dry lands. For recurring droughts have kept most of our folks poor. It looks like good business to ex tend the privilege of insured wa ter to them where they are, if we can spend billions developing dry lands onto which we have to move uprooted people from other areas.

BY TK£ OLD TIMERS From Arthur O. Johnson, Palat- jm, Florida: I remember 70 yean ago, before the invention of refrig eration, I lived in a saw mill vil lage six miles from Montague. Michigan. • Roads were rough and sandy, transportation was by carriage or wagons and fresh meat was ped dled semi-weekly by butchers of slaughter house men using a spring wagon with a large box in the rear having doors at the end and a hook over the door on which was sus pended a scale to wfeigh meats. Our family having been a regu lar customer of the peddler. I was allowed to ride on top of the meat box from neighbor to neighbor. One day something frightened the horse drawing the wagon while I was sitting on top of the box; the horse started to run, I fell over backwards. I caught my hand cm the hook used for* the scale, the skin being torn from wrist to knuck les. Of course, a doctor came from Montague to close the wound, but I still carry a long scar to remem-* ber the event. From Mrs. Minnie Gallagher, Cal houn, Illinois: I remember when my mother would take boards and make a platform, raising one end to make lye. She would use a bar rel with both ends out, put straw in the bottom and then fill it full of ' wood ashes, pouring water on them until the lye started to run. She would fill a big iron kettle, then take all the cracklin’s from butchering and old grease and boil it down to make a fine soap, enough to do for a year. It was cut in cakes and put in wooden boxes to dry. (8«b4 cvatrlbattons f this ealaaia ta The OI4 Timer. Cemmaalty Frees Serv ice. Frankfert. Keatacky). 7*4* warn. PROTECT THT FORESTS AMD USE THEM WISELY this week's', patterns ms ml BY AUDREY LANE ?: VTEWCOMER5 to Carlile aroused •L v great interest and speculation ran high over this unusual new couple. Carlile, population three hundred was a friendly community and did not like the feeling of unease they had aroused. Don Bell and his wife resembled die average couple'and would have created no unusual interest had it not been for their child. She was definitely Chinese. Therein lie the source of /discomfort — the town’s first meeting was a mixed mar riage. Uhlike other towns where social acceptanW was judged by the rich. Carlile’s acceptance group occupied chairs in the General Store. Here most *of the towns business was decided. The old timers and those accepted of the new gathered daily to iron out any problems. Don Bell had been in tor sup plies and had committed his first social blunder by ignoring the as sembled group. He had purchased his supplies and left, he and Ms Utile glil. Phones rang throughout town as the news spread quickly. Fortu nately Carlile was in the midst of Its annual Centennial and did not have too much time to devote at tention to the couple. Helen Jacobs of the planning committee suggested they ask Mrs. Bell for a donation. A step in the right direction. If he refused, they would know she preferred solitude Her reaction would deckle her future status. > Sue Bell’s reaction on receipt of the invitation would haVe delighted the senders. Turning to Don, she asked, “What shall I donate?” •T don’t know. Honey. These are big affairs. How about some Chi nese pastries. They’d be novel.” No word leaked ou + as to what her offering would be and appre hension ran high for several days. Came the big day. significant iq two respects, the Centennial and meeting of the new neighbors. The men had talked to Don and liked him, so it remained tor the wives to accept the newcomers. Today Would tell the tale. Many had gathered and festivi ties were under way before a sta tion wagon pulled up and the Bells arrived. Out stepped Merry Bell, black hair and sparkling eyes, the eyes telling of ancestry. She re sembled a doll in ruffled blue pina fore. Her Mother came next tiny and dainty as the child. Her soft voice could be heard directing her husband. The crowd noted die full station wagon. Slim, who knew Don better than the rest, came forward to help. Helen Jacobs stepped forth saying, “I’m Helen Jacobs. We’ve kept a booth tor you but doubt its large enough for all , those packages." "Please call me Sue." The young woman spoke hesitantly. "I hope it will please. There are Chinese pastries, silk scarves and figu rines." She opened a box tor all to see. Helen stared in amazement. "Goodness, w^ didn’t expect you to stock a booth all by yourself. These are priceless and beautifuL” A murmur of agreement was heard. They surged forwarded to help. Sue’s booth took on the at mosphere of China. Her popularity was soon evident Carlile took her to their hearts. Her soft tones stood out amidst the harsh western voices. Her tales of China and the significance «i the scarves and idols held her audience spellbound tor hours on end. Full realization of their accept ance dawned on the Bells when Merry came running to them, hold ing a large doll—first prize for prettiest child. Don standing near-, by felt a warm glow within him self. Carlile made up for all pre vious suffered slights. He had come home. Sue smiled through happy tears and her neighbors were never to know she had parted with he*' treasured keepsakes. *iV.. i * Vfc* “Ti'. * *•-V*-*^**,- 573 N*. S9SS to ewt to •Imea IS, 14, 14.
