Jr. High Students
May Get Shots
The Health Committee of the
Junior high school Parent-Teacher
Association is launching a project
which will be of great benefit to
every student of the school. The
committee, composed of Dr. Von
Long, chairman, and Mrs. John
Felker and Mrs. M. D. Hoffmeyer,
is trying to bring every Junior
high student up to date with im
munizations during this school
year. Dr. R. EL Livingston, presi
dent of the organization, announ
ces that this is a voluntary pro
ject, and the help of the parents
is needed to make the immuniza
tion program a success.
During this week, a letter will
go Into the home of every Junior
high student, stating that the vac
cines will be gven for typhod, lock
jaw and small pox. Parents are
asked n the letter to state the
year of the most recent "shots
which the children have received
for these three iihmunizations and
to state whether they wish the
immunization brought up to date
for (heir children.
At the present time the most
important immunization is tetanus
toxoid because it is now thought
that many people are allergic to
the tetanus anti-toxin which is
made from horse serum. Usually
there is no generalized reaction
from the toxoid, and if this im,-
munization is kept up to date, no
anti-toxin will be needed when in
jury occurs. If the child is still
immundzadi from smallpox from a
former vaccination, the current
vaccination will not "take",' and
the child will not have a sore arm.
The immunizations will be giv
en by the Newberry County health
department at the Junior high
school on Fridays, and will be giv
en free of charge. Principal R. E.
Beck, the faculty and staff of the
school are giving whole-hearted
cooperation in this splendid pro
ject. Parents are. urged to return
to the school the proper informa
tion promptly so that the pro
gram can get under way as soon
as possible.
Polio vaccine can soon be ob
tained from the county health de
partment or from private physi
cians.

Press S. Livingston, who lives on Route 4, is owner of Mystery farm No. 12 in last week’s issue
of the Sun. The Livingston farm is located on the Saluda highway, six miles from Newberry.
Formerly known as the Gray Davy Werts place, the farm one belonged to Mr. Livingston’s
great aunts. He bought it 18 years ago from Judge Eugene S. Blease. At that time, most of the
acreage was in pines, but has been cleared up for dairy farming.
Mrs. Livingston is the former Miss Irma Perry of Saluda. The two Livingston children, Van
Rhett, 6 years old and Dixie Jo, 10 are students at Silverstreet school.
The Livingstons attend Silverstreet Lutheran church, and Mr. Livingstom is a member of, the
Bush River Young Farmers club.
The mixed cattle on the Livingston farm produce eleven to twelve thousand pounds of
grade A nrilk each month, which is sold to Coble dairies. Of the 205 acres in the farm, 80 is de
voted to balanced pastures. The remainder of the land is used in raising food for the cattle.
Like most other farmers in the county, Mr. Livingston uses up to date farm machinery and fol
lows Soil Conservation Service recommended practices.
Remember: iihere is no substitute
for INSURED savings.

NEWBERRY, S. C.
We*ve been talking here of how
boys like to throw things. Not
only With their arm, but with all
manner of make-shift guns, like
we’ve told of here for the past
three weeks.
There is still another sort of
gun we made in addition to slings,
slingshots, etc. It was a cornstalk
gun. . ' * >-
We’d get a good strong, dry
corn stalk and clean the leaves
off. Then we’d cut it off a little
above where the ears came out,
there where it starts to getting
weaker. It would be cut off a-
bout tw6 inches above a joint, one
side sliced off, and the pith in
there reamed out. In that cavity
we’d wedge the right size rock.
Then we could give that a swish,
like hitting a ball with a bat and
sling the rock out. With all of
that leverage, we could sure throw
it far.
This sort of gun was rather un
reliable though. It was hard to
sling it just right so the rock
would leave it at the right time.
Therefore, there was not much
aiming it. You just threw blindly.
But it was fun. You could throw
so far! And ever now and then
you put too much effort behind
your heave and broke the gun.
Then it was all to x do over again.
We kids of the Stone Hills made
our fun as we found It. There was
never a dull moment, and the days
were never long enough.

WIDE, WONDERFUL
WORLD j
By Franklin J. Meine
A great many farmers and race
track enthusiasts know that a fur
long represents one-eighth of a
mile, but a short quiz may dem
onstrate that they don’t know the
derivation of the word This meas
ore of length was originally the
length of the A&citent acre, which
was 40 rods long by 4 rods wide.
In the old English open or common
field system, each furrow ploughed
ran the length of the acre, and the
distance was called forkmg—a con
traction for M fur^ow-long. ,,
Almost every schoolboy knows
that Eli Whitney invented the cot
ton gin. But few of us know—or
remember—that he is the father of
the factory assembly line. In 1797.
Whitney perfected a means of pro
ducing firearms with interchange
able parts—mass-produced parts,
each of which can be substituted
for another. After producing ap
proximately 25,000 firearms for the
federal government it was ac
knowledged that Whitney had
turned out superior guns and that
with his machinery all geared up,
he was in a position to produce ay
immense quantity of muskets and
pistols, formerly laboriously hand
made, with what for that time was
ohenomenal speed. The American
watch industry adopted and per
fected the technique of assembly
line production. Later the automo
bile Industry followed suit.
