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.

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
