“Save Where Hundreds Save Millions”
(By Richard G. Christopher, III
Greenwood County)
(Editor’s Note: After spending
the summer with families in Den
mark as a delegate in the Inter
national Farm Youth Exchange
program, Dick returns home some
time this month. He will he avail
able for illustrated talks on his
exiperiences from December 1 to
February 1- Clubs and organiza
tions which would like to hear
him should contact county exten
sion agents or L*. O. Clayton, the
State IFYE leader, Clemson col
lege.
The State Master 4-H club, in
cooperation with the Clemson
Extension Service, makes the IF
YE program possible in South Car
olina. No public funds are used—
Master members, business firms,
and interested organizations pro
vide needed funlds. This year thie
state had two delegates abroad.
Exchangees from Sweden, Eng
land, France and Denmark have
visited in the state.)
My time in Denmark has passed
very fast, and the time is near
when I shall start home.
These four months of my life
in Denmark I will never forget.
The time has been filled with
work and play, seeing new things,
and meeting new people. Things
that once were so new anid differ
ent to me are now everyday
things.
One thing that made me realize
how much I have learned since I
first came to Denmark was to re
visit my first host family. Now
I could sit and talk with the fam
ily in my limited Danish and with
the help of my English-Danish
dictionary. They seemed real hap
py that I had learned some Daai*
ish.
I am now with my third and last
host family. It is near the town of
Skive in northern Jutland. The
land here is some of the best in
[Denmark. There are many good
farms in this area like the one I
am visiting. It is a typical Dan
ish farm of about 80 acres with
cows, pigs, sugar beets, and grain.
This is the last harvest time of
the year. Moat farmers are harv
esting their sugar beets. The beets
are the chief food for the cows.
Both beets and beet tops are
used. In fact, the beet tops make
the chief silage crop. An acre of
sugar beet tops has the same
food value as an acre of barley.
(Barley is used as a standard of
comparison for other crops in
Denmark.)
Alter the beet tops have been
cut off and made into silage, the
beets are harvested. Some of the
beets are banked much like pota
toes since the farmer doesn’t have
room for all the beets in the
house. They are piled in a mound
amtii covered first with straw and
then soil to keep them from freez
ing during the winter. The farmer
makes several piles and moves a
whole pile in thebeet house at
one time. Then they’re fed to the
animals.
I guess I have been one of the
really lucky IFYBs. I have now
spent some time in Bent Villum-
san’s home, and I read in the pa
per from home that he has been
in my home. Bent and I have ex
perienced the complete exchange.
It was quite a thrill for me, and
Bent’s mother and brother, to see
the picture of Bent being greeted
by my father. About the same
time I was being accepted into
Bent’s home here in Denmark.
The three IFTTEs here, Ruth
Fielding from Iowa, Melba Burton
from Indiana, and I are staying
on farms near one another. We
have been able to see and do many
things together. The man in this
area who -would compare with the
county agent in America has car
ried us to see many farms,
schools, and 4-H work.
We attended a district compe
tition for boys and girls. The boys
had plowing and milking contests
while the girls were having con
tests in food preparation. The con
tests were held one evening on a
large state farm. The girls pre
pared the food in the manor house
kitchen. That night we had a big
dinner, at which the winners were
announced. The top girls and boys
will go on to an area competition.
We have also had the oppor
tunity to speak and show slides
to a group of young people. We
talked about our homee, schools,
and agricultural and youth or
ganizations in America. After our
talks the young people asked us
questions. They were very Inter
ested in hearing what we had to
say about our homes and way of
life.
The three of us believe that if
the Danish people spoke English
Denmark would be more like our
country than any other in the
world. Our job of visiting and un
dierstaading the people here has
been a very enjoyable one.
We’d like to clasp each friendly
hand
we’ve met along the way
And wish yon joy and happiness
thru every new-born day.
So, please accept our wishes,
you friends, both far and ilear
For healh and wealth & gladness
and a Happy, bright New Year!

To Church This
GOOD BUT DEFEATED
“What shall I da to inherit eternal life?”—Luke 18:18.
/ ^
That is at some time or other the yearning cry of every human heart.
The young lawyer who came to Jesus asking that question already had
the answer, according to worldly standards.
* % HE WAS RICH. He had houses and lands and all the material wealth
that heart could wish. How many men sell their souls for it! v
HE WAS YOUNG. He had the treasure that Ponce de Leon squander
ed a fortune to obtain, and that millions of aging people would “die
for.”
*
HE WAS A RULER. He had the acclaim of the throng, who eagerly
hung on his pronouncements, and to whom his word was law. Men
still sacrifice all for the pride and power of it!
HE WAS GOOD. All the Common dments he had “kept from his youth ff
up.” Yet the rich young ruler had a sense of lack. He had not found
the ultimate satisfaction, that absolute assurance which he desired.
Christ was quick to sense
the trouble. He knew that
men’s motives determine their
ends. He saw before Him a
young man who worshiped his
possessions, his every thought,
word and deed motivated by
his riches. Boldly the Master
called upon him to forsake it
all and put Him upon the
throne of his heart.
Unwilling to forsake His
false gods, the young man
went away hopeless. Shall we,
too; search in vain for “eter- \
nal life” because we ere un- \
willing to pay the price of full
surrender—to put Jesus first
in our lives?
