The existence of a test garden at Clemson College, established for the express purpose of scien tifically determining the proper cultural methods, disease control, and winter hardiness of camellias, is a fact little known to the gen eral public throughout our state. This project was begun in 1951 at the request of the South Caro lina Camellia Society, which, through its membership, associa tion with interested nurseries, etc., lends its support. It was recognized by the SCCS that aside from giving thousands of persons a rewarding hobby, ca mellia culture was and is. an im portant factor in the welfare o*f a sizeable number of our citizens wfio gain their livelihood in the camellia mursery business. With this in mind, the society resolved to stimulate and support this pro gram. Dr. R. F. Poole, president of Clemson College, has been most cooperative and understanding of the problems involved. Adequate acreage has been provided, is bo- ing fenced in, and the garden is being directed most capably un der the supervision of Mr. James C. Carey of the Clemson College staff. At the present time, over 1204 TELEPHONE 1141 plants, representing some 175 varieties and several special, are being observed. The principal ob jectives of the test garden are: developing disease controls, de termining what types and at what time fertilisers should be used, and, equally important, what va rieties are the most cold hardy for culture in South Carolina. The American Camellia Society is also interested in and lends its support to this project. It re cently promoted the donation of 500 pieces of camellia understock by an Alabama nursery for use in grafting; As time and funds permit, the plant pathology department at Clemson will make a concerted ef fort to develop a “cure” for the most dreaded of all camellia di seases—camellia .flower blight. This disease has ravaged the west coast gardens and has made ap pearances in Georgia. Unless ade quate restrictions on interstate shipments are maintained, and unless control measures are im mediately instituted wherever this disease appears, it would con ceivably ‘reach such proportions as to deliver a death dealing blow to our camellia industry. It is the aim of the South Caro lina Camellia Society to assist in, and promote the research neces sary to eradicate this disease. should build the heart as well as ball rolling, and to keep the aud- Heard At NCEA Meet Four Ps important in education, as stated at the Newberry county Teachers’ Education Association as on Thursday, November 17, in the Newberry high auditorium by 7 Moderator J. Benjamin Beden baugh are: preparation for un derstanding, preparation for earn ing, preparation for problems and preparation for living. Participating in a panel dis cussion of “What To Expect Of Our Schools,” were Rusty Harley, president of the student body; Mrs. Carlton, a patron; W. H. Ted- ford, president of Mollohon div ision of Kendall mills; and Rev. J. B. Bedenbaugh, professor of Bible and public relations at New berry college. Newberry High Senior, Rusty Harley, stated from a student’s viewpoint that a school has three parts—a faculty, student body and a building. He wants a good build ing with the best facilities its community can offer. Students obtain a social contact at school they do not gain elsewhere. Ath letics and academic studies are both important. In the Southern staled, tbetfe is very little juve nile delinquency. The school should develop a child physically, mentally, and spiritually with the parent’s help, commented patron, Mrs. Vernon Carlton. She also said the school the mind of the student The tea-, cher should teach the child to love, respect and be honest. The teacher even above the preacher, should eet an example for all to follow. She said discipline is a must A student should make use of his study period to his best ad vantage. Preparing for society as a whole said Mr. Tedford, a student must have a basic knowledge of the English language so that he can express himself. He continued that a student must be able to write a legible hand, must be able to make figures so they can be read and must be able to spell. He said a fault of the schools to day is that they quit teaching - seventh grade math too early in school. This good common sense math is that which is meet useful to the average person in everyday life. The higher math ,he said, should be taught to teach a student to think. Moat important of all, he said is that a student should be taught how. to get along with others. A student must develop leadership and develop his person*- ality. Throughout the panel discussion Rev. Bedenbaugh made clever, suitable remarks keeping the audience interested. He said that the job of a moderator was to keep down the heat, to keep the feathers from flying, to keep the ience awake. He did just that. said not only are the 3 Rs ’—“ tant, but beyond and beneath that the spirit^—being able to tell evil from good, good to better, and bet* ter to best. He quoted the grea| teacher who said “I am the way^ the truth, and the life.” Holland Bedenbaugh .who was in charge of devotions, Introduced Rev. Garth Lee Hill, pastor of Holy Trinity church In LRUs Mountain. Mr. Hill conducted fttf ting devotions for the afternoon. The Whitmire band, under the capable direction of Newberry college junior Ralph Higgins, ren dered six numbers of semi-modem music. This inspiring music open ed the meeting with a bang, wak ening the whole audience. Secretary, Mrs. Cla-udic Golden, read the minutes of the last spring meeting and the September meet ing after which Mrs. Philip Kelly, ' president, declared them approv ed as read. Treasurer James D. Brown re ported $62.24 in the treasury. v Welfare and Legislative joint committee representative, t C. EL Hendrix stated that the two com mittees have concentrated on four items: (1) Try to do something to help the teacher load, (2) main tain and if possible Improve the salary schedule, (3) make sick leave accumulative to 40 days and (4) do something about the in- (Continued on page 5) ' ■ ■ m, jUf 1215 FRIEND STREET TYSON - WELBORN INSURANCE AGENCY AUTOMOBILE — FIRE —ALL LINES INSURANCE NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA An Open Letter To The Public from George E.
