PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1956 Proposals Receive Support I have been gratified by the favorable response I have received regarding two bills and one resolution I have intro duced during this session of congress. Many South Caro linians and others have written to express an interest in my proposals which would: 1. Ban the serving of alcoholic beverages aboard air liners. 2. Deny tax-exempt status to organizations which en gage in the promotion of lawsuits to which they are not a party. 3. Divide the electoral vote to reflect the popular vote for candidates for President. S. 2845, the bill to outlaw alcoholic beverages on air liners, is pending before the Interstate and Foreign Com merce Committee, of which I am a member. The tax-ex empt bill is pending before the Finance committee. Con gressman John Riley has introduced a companion bill to this in the House. My electoral college resolution is now before the Judiciary Committee. It is expected, however, that the Senate will soon consider this and other proposals for revising the method of voting in presidential elections. Government Contract Awards During the past week, I introduced another bill which should receive favorable action by the Congress. It would prohibit the Federal government from channeling defense contracts to surplus labor or “disaster” areas without ac cepting bids from other areas. This legislation would pro tect our free enterprise system by requiring the govern ment to award contracts on an impartial, competitive basis at the lowest cost to the government. Recently the armyissued invitations to manufacturers to bids on contracts to supply the army with large quantities of webbings and tapes of a type manufactured in South Car olina. In these invitations it was stated that unless the bidder’s plant was located in a disaster area the bid would not beconsidered for the contract award. SPORTS AFIELD “After a lifetime of fishing, and studying such matters, I have ' found but one reliable way to determine how well the fish are biting—go out and fish.” So says Jason Lucas. As angling editor of Sports Afield magazine, Lucas gets lots of mail from readers who write that the fish they catch often have empty stomachs. Some re cent experiments tend to show that fish frequently, before tak ing a bait or lure, disgorge the contents of their stomachs. And two readers who fish in exceptionally clear water, in dif ferent parts of the country, have recently written of seeing bass disgorge AFTER taking a plug— instinct perhaps telling them they could fight better on empty stomachs. So if you catch a bass with no food in him, it doesn't necessarily mean that he hasn’t eaten. Intelligence of fish also brings lots of reader comment. The past few years several universi ties have been experimenting with this. But Lucas feels that all experiments with fish in tanks must be. regarded with great cau tion, since they have little bear ing on what wild fish will do. Still analyzing them properly, they can be interesting to fishermen 1 n helping to determine compara tive intelligence of different spe cies. Itfot only in different species, but in individual fish of one species, intelligence can vary en ormously. This explains why some very large fish may be found in hard-fished water; they were born smarter than the rest, and so live longer and grow bigger. Then, there’s the question of how long individual fish can re member being hooked. With one it might be only minutes, with another an hour, a week, a year —or perhaps a lifetime, though that is doubtful. Nor will a fish lose caution all at once; he will lose it gradually. Thus, when he’s lost only part of it, hq stands a good chance of being caught by a smart angler who is expert at fooling fish, though he’d be quite safe from a beginner. By LYN CONNELLY * I 'HERE is something strange I 1 happening in the world of situ ation comedy shows.. . . They have been deteriorating as a general rule but this season they have about fallen apart at the seams . . . One of the most startling reversals of form is “Our Miss Brooks,” a TV favorite for the past three years Granted, it was beginning to suffer from lack of variety but at least there was much that could be done to spruce it up as long as the locale was still a high school where pupils are apt to indulge in amusing capers that provide a happy escape into a nos talgic world for adults The pace had slowed down until there was just a chuckle where once there was a guffaw, but the pro ducers took pretty drastic meas ures in attempting to remedy the situation. Miss Brooks was transferred to a grade school and the pace is now at a complete standstill The only ray of sunshine In the new hodge-podge was the addition of Bob Sweeney, a very clever man who has a penchant for in ducing laughter from his viewers Surely he could have been added to the old story plot with less disastrous results! Then there Is the case of “My Favorite Husband” . With Joan Caulfield as the sprttely Lis Coop er the show was top drawer last season . . . Then, for some mysteri ous reason, Miss Caulfield was given her walking papers and capricious Vanessa Brown took over . .Miss Brown, although beautiful and charming, was sim ply no match for the talented blonde comedienne and as a con sequence the show folded com pletely . . . Too bad . It had all the earmarks of a good show. More than 700 varieties and grades of oil-based synthetic rub ber have been produced. I REMEMBER” BY THE OLD TIMERS S. C. By-passed Before I had previously known of this practice of setting aside certain percentages of contracts and assigning as much"as 60 per cent to unemployment areas when the low bid was filed by another manufacturer. This was the first time a 100 per cent set aside had been called to my attention. This was not, however, the first time South Carolina indus tries submitting low bids had been by-passed because of this practice. I immediately protested to Defense Mobilization Director Arthur S. Flemming against this policy. His reply, how ever, made it plain that the practice would be continued unless legislation were passed to outlaw the administrative orders permitting these discriminatory practices. S. C. Wins Certification The Commerce department has certified every county in South Carolina as conforming to the standards of the National Dispersion program. This certification means that industries already located in the State are sUfliciently dis persed so as not to create any potential target areas. Our state is thus eligible for the possible location of more defense industries. In addition, this certification should aid our State development board and local industrial boards to attract private industries to South Carolina. Bill Affecting GI Insurance I have joined Senator Russell Long and a number of other Senators in co-sponsoring legislation which would allow veterans to re-instate their lapsed GI insurance policies. The bill would give World War II and Korean War veterans one year in which they could pay up premiums and put their policies back in force. n\ “Talk about false economy—I always swore Td never borrow* money for home repairs like my neighbor does.

My - brother" had "become a bit wary after touching the tail of a big ’possum In one one morn ing before good day. So he car ried a few matches to look be fore inserting his hand when it was still dark. He didn’t fear a rabbit at all. He’d reach around down In there, get it by its hind lege and yank it out. But for a ’possum or weasel, that’s differ ent, quite different. So when we caught that weasel, we carried it to home in the box. We had to go on to school, but were all excited and told all the kids about it. About a dozen of them came home with us that afternoon to see it. Each took a peep at it, and we carried it down in the pasture to drown it. They were our mortal enemies. One. maybe this same one, had killed DEEP FREEZE Supplies, plastic Bags, roll paper, also Picnic sup plies, Plates, Spoons, Forks, nap kins, drinking cups. R. DERRILL SMITH & SON, Wholesale Groc ers, Newberry. 364tc a lot of our prize chickens a few nights before. So we were taking no chance of missing it with a shot if we turned it out. Down in the pasture a pot-hole In the ditch was full of water. My brother opened the door and soused It under the water. We didn’t know our weasels. Water to it was like a brier patch to a rabbit. He popped up out of the water, as dry as powder, and scampered off in the weeds be fore we could recover our senses or even pick up a rock to throw at it. We felt silly for a while there. We didn’t know much about wea sels. But that taught us a little. MANGANESE AND BORON IN NEW SLOWLY SOLUBLE FORM INCREASE FARMERS' PROFITS $10.00 AN ACRE This past growing season 62 cotton fanners in 37 South Carolina counties experimented with mineral trace elements in a new slowly soluble form. The prod uct used was "FTE” (Fritted Trace Elements) and a single application increased cotton yields on an average of $12.00 an acre—or more than $10.00 over the extra cost involved. FTE STAYS IN THE SOIL FTE, unlike other trace element materials, does not leach away with spring cloudbursts, but stays in the root zone the full growing season. The minerals are fused at high temperature within a new slowly dissolv ing “carrier.” And tha rate of solubility is scientifically controlled—to eliminate usual toxicity hazards, and to assure that the plants get these swontinl nutrients when and as needed. COSTS YOU BUT LITTLE Only 15 lbs. of FTE is needed per acre of cotton. For this reason, it is not applied by itself, but is added to and mixed into general fertilizers. A fertilizer fortified with FIlS costs you little more than non-fortified fertilizer. And the extra cost is returned to you many HOW TO OCT FTE Check with your dealer. Get hie rec ommendation on fertilizers fortified with FTE. And look for the FTB label on the bag.
