Along the road near Johnston an aged person was carrying a large bundle of broom straw. Memories, memories, th^y came thick an<i fast! Getting the year’s supply o f broom straw in the fall at the right time was the routine with us in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork as making soap, when enough meat scraps accumulated, banking ’t&ters in the hot- ashes of a hunting fire, or knockin’ cot ton stalks when they got dry. Home-made brooms of straw wrung from old fields about the second year after they had been turned out, were the only sort we knew. We had to get It at the right time for it to serve its pur-‘ pose best. We’d keep an eye out all summer for. some that grew tall. And this was usually in old fields just getting. started with it, where it hadn’t gotten too thick. Then there was a time when It was just right. This came soon after frost, as I recall, and winter winds has blown away the feath ery remains of its bloom. And this was before the straw had dried clean out, it was tougher then and not as brittle. We never cut it. I don’t know why. But we always wrung it off. And this was above that fluff of blades that make a turf on the round. Your right hand had to be mighty tough to stand this job for long. That wringing action would soon make it sore on the lower or little finger side of your hand. But that didn’t bother many folks then. For toil hardened hands were the rule among the Dutchmen of the Stone hills. More about broom straw next week.

ERNEST MARTIN Candidate for the office of Commiesioner of District No. 1 Doctor's Day Is Tomorrow Doctor’s Day is a special day set aside to honor the members of the medical profession past and present—the men and women who by daily devotion to their duty of service to humanity, minister to the health and welfare of the peo ple. The date of March 30 was not chosen at random, but is in cotm- rnemoration of one of the greatest discoveries for the alleviation of pain an<i suffering that this coun try has yet produced. March 30 is the anniversary of that day in when Dr. Crawford W. Long of Jefferson, Georgia, first used ether as an anesthetic agent on a human being during a surgical op eration. Recognition of the medical pro fession on a special “Doctor’s day” originated in Georgia some 20 years ago when that state hon ored her famous son. Dr. Craw ford Long, and the idea has spread over the country until today Doc tor's Day is observed by almost every state auxiliary in the nation. The Women’s Auxiliary to the Newberry county Medical Society will present each member of the medical profesion in Newberry county with a red carnation, the official flower, to be worn on Doc tor’s Day. The following is a poem by Bet ty W. S toff el of Maxton, N. C. in honor of doctors: PRAYER FOR OUR DOCTORS God bless our doctors, those who live. By duty’s faithfulness. Who labor hand in hand with Thee In service'sought to bless. O, God of wisdom, make them wise In man’s complexity, As Thou has made us intricate, So let their knowledge be. O, God of power, give them strength Through long incessant strain; And grant them mercy to relieve Eternities of pain. O, Great Physician, who under stands All ills, all mortal feeling, Bless those who bring through human hands. The miracles of healing.
