THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE EIGHT Dries And Stores Grain —In One Operation Cutaway diagram of new Quonset grain-dryer-storage building illustrates the flow of unheated drying air through the entire grain mass. For cooling, the fans are revetoed. Grain is handled only once, keeps spoilage-free indefinitely. A Quonset grain-dryer-storage building, which promises to revolu tionize present methods of harvesting, drying and storing small grains and shelled-corn, has been developed and successfully field-tested by the Stran-Steel Corporation, a unit of National Steel Corporation. The installation employs unheated air which is forced through the grain by semi-pressure fans. Moisture-content of the grain is brought down to safe storage level within a matter of days; the fans can then be reversed to cool the grain and provide spoilage-free storage indefinitely. The new Quonset dryer-storage building solves the problems faced by the increasing number of farmers who are harvesting early to avoid expensive field-losses. And it is priced within the average farmer’s range. In comparison with other methods of drying and storing grain, the complete Quonset system coats 15% less. There is no fuel to buy. Its one operating cost—electricity for its fans — is almost 50% less than that of heated air-systems. The labor-saving value of the new system is by itself outstanding. As Ernest Ham, who is using it on his farm near Saronville, Nebraska, puts it: “What I like best about this new set-up is that it condenses your work to the point where one man can nearly do it all.” FOR BRAVERY UNREWARDED By Ona F. Lathrop M att and I had just rounded the bend in our leaky boat when we saw the car parked at our cabin. It was a rusty old ja- loppy with high wire wheels and only one front door. I gave the oar a final flip as Matt heaved out the anchor and looked anxiously up the hill, like any protective hus band. “Who can that be?” he mum bled in a worried tone. He’d been upset all day about the figures that wouldn’t come out right in the bomb-plant plans he was work ing over this week-end up here. “Just some old-timer out of gas probably,” I responded with wish ful thinking, but a sudden cold fear had moved in where my heart should be. Matt always says I’m the world’s worst coward and afraid of my shadow in these northwoods, but now that he had these important papers up here, Tm as nervous as a cat. “Hi there," Matt called, and we both remembered afterward of something dashing through the brush in the ravine and into the thicket beyond. Climbing out of the car was a decrepit wraith of • man with one wooden leg. “You folks got a wrench?” he asked, hobbling to the porch. “Guess so. What’s your trouble?” Matt headed him off and steered him to the tool-shed in back. I ran into the house. Papers were scat tered in every direction and the drawers all stood ajar. Matt was naturally a neat soul and I couldn’t imagine him leaving such a mess. My heart was really thumping now. I must tell Matt, but how? When I hurried out the back door, the old man was heft- mg a couple of wicked-looking wrenches. “Car broken down?” I asked as casually as I could. “Well, she’ll go but needs a spark-plug adjusted. Have to start her up and see which one is miss ing.” He was climbing in. I ran around to the front of the old ja- loppy and motioned Matt to fol low and pull up the hood. “Don’t let him get away,” I hissed, under the grinding of the starter. “Do something—pull a wire, or whatever. They’ve ran sacked your desk. The plans— silly!” I tried to make Matt un derstand. “I went through the house. That other fellow—he must have taken them and got away. This old guy will pick him up some place if we let him go. Do soxnething.” Matt jerked a strategic wire and the motor which had just turned over ground to a halt. “Thought I had *er there, Mister What’s up?” The wiry little form climbed out and came around to us, still waving the wrench. “Looks like a loose connection.” “Just a minuti,* I’ll see if I have some wire,” Matt called back, running to the house and leaving me there with the crook. I backed away keeping my eyes on him. If he tried to run—there was a gun on the deer antlers on the porch. I let myself in the screen door and grabbed it. Would Matt never come? I took off the safety and held the gun to my shoulder. I couldn’t believe I was doing it—but just let him fry to dash for that ravine! Matt came out the door and stopped in his tracks. “What in thunder are you doing?” he snorted, grabbing the gun down “Don’t shoot the poor old guy There’s nothing missing. I jusi got disgusted because I couldn’ get the drawings to come out righi and threw the whole mess as 1 left for the fishing.” “But the thing—the thing we saw dashing down the ravine?’ “Must have been a deer, and our imagination. Get the old man some food, while I go help him get that bus going or he’ll be here all night,” he grinned. “I’ll never say you’re a coward again Nice brave little detective, aren’t you? Ought to have a medal—for ‘bravery unrewarded’ baby.” He gave me a hug as he went by. BEADY FOR 1956 . . . Stan Mosial, 36, starts his 16th sea son with the St. Louis Cardinals, and is happy to be back in out field after playing first base in 1955. Musial’s lifetime batting average of .342 is secondly only to Hornsby’s .359.

Bragan gained quite a reputation in the minor leagues as an umpire baiter. Those days are all behind him, says the new Buccaneer boss . . . The Amateur Athletic Union said there have been “more than 100 life suspensions of athletes” sim ilar to that imposed on miler Wes Santee. Many of the athletes were as famous as Santee, the A.A.U. added, but the suspensions didn’t attract as much national attention —mainly because the suspended athletes didn’t question their sus pension . . « Florida is the only state in the union that legalises cock fighting and the only state where jal alal is played with pari mutuel betting . . .

Rutherford showed colorful slides of birds and played recordings of their calls at the March meeting of the Garden Study club held at the home of Mrs. Rutherford with Mrs. Frank Sligh, Mrs. S. C. Altman and Mrs. Paul Folk as associate hos tesses. After the group assembled, re freshments were served. Mrs. Vernon Carlton, .president, called the meeting to orde/ by reading “The Legend of the Dogwood” and an Easter prayer by the late Dr. Peter Marshall. Mrs. Gordon D. Blackwell, pro gram chairman, introduced Mrs. Rutherford who in turn presented an interesting program “Birds of South Carolina.” Others taking part on the program were Mrs, James C. Kinard, who explained “Analogous in Flower Arrange ment.” Mrs. C. T. Smith gave a report of the East Piedmont meeting. Mrs. Johnnie Werts re ported a Garden Study club sign had been placed at the Youth Center grounds. She also reported suedhssful meetings with the Wren Junior Garden Study club. Mrs. Carlton stated that the Jr. Garden Study club will receive a three-year certificate and be list ed on the ten-point standard honor roll and the permanent home honor roll. The Juniors have been invited to .present their Jitterbug playlet at the convention of the Garden club of South Carolina. In a discussion concerning the Garden center, the members de cided to retain the Sears space for books and arrangements since it was convenient to the public, and to retain the Wessels library space for lectures and workshops. The club voted to contribute $5.00 to the Garden Center. Junior Gardeners Tour Lynch Woods Mr. Homer. Schumpert carried the members of the Wren Junior Garden Study Club to Lynches Woods in the Scout Bus on Wed nesday afternoon, March 28th. Mrs. Gladys Carlton, Mrs. Mary Ellen Blackwell and Mrs. Gladys Werts of the Garden Study Club hughopaso Kayb go d i as5s accompanied the group. The Scout leaders and several mothers also went along. The purpose of this outing was to study wild flowers. “Uncle Homer” pointed out various trees and vines—among them was the yellow jessamine, our State Flower. We strolled into the woods ..and he told us legends about different herbs that we found. Many of them were bloom ing. It was amazing to learn that there is such a wide variety of wild plants in these woods. Several mothers had prepared refreshments and after tramping through the woods we enjoyed Cokes, sandwiches and cookies. Mrs. Carlton gave each girl a package of zinnia seeds to plant in her flower garden.

Artist Will Visit Here Next Week Carew Rice, a South Carolinian who is considered one of the most versatile silhouette artists in America will be in Newberry Mon day and Tuesday. Mr. Rice is known to many people in Newber ry who have met him on his sev eral previous visits here and who have seen him at the State Fair where he does silhouettes. The artist puts his model for a silhouette at ease with a few words and holds them in place with a remarkable flow or rem iniscences. In addition to cutting silhou ettes of individuals, Mr. Rice is talented in doing Low Country scenes in silhouette. Children who are notorious wig- glers when sittihg for a portrait or silhouette fall under the charm of this artist and sit quietly for the results of his tiny scissors. He not only catches the magic in the portrayal of children, but also that of adults, and many mothers and fathers who bring their chil dren for a sitting remain to have one made of themselves. Monday and Tuesday, April 9 and 10, Mr. Rice will be at the Jones Flower and Gift Shop and as many as possible will enjoy dropping in and meeting this tal ented South Carolina Low Coun try artist. , Mrs. Pickard Dies; Word has been received in New berry of the death of Mrs. E. L. Pickard of Westbrook, Maine, mother of Mrs. J. D. French of this city. Mrs. Pickard died Mon day after a lingering illness. Funeral services will be con ducted today (Thursday). She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. French, a son, John F. Pickard of Gardener, Maine, and four grand children. Mr. and Mrs. French are at 331 Main street, West brook, this week OPEN FORUM March 29, 1956 j The Editor Newberry Sun Newberry, S. C. Newberry County has lost the service of a great servant, the Honorable Marvin E. Abrams. Senator Abrams has served his County long and well and with dignity. He will be greatly miss ed. In my work, on many occa sions, I have watched the New berry County Delegation and Newberry County is to be com mended and fortunate in having outstanding citizens as Senator Abrams, Representatives T. Wil liam Hunter and Earl H. Bergen serving them. When you think of the meager salary they receive, certainly Newberry County is in debted to them. I was glad to see Mr. S. W. Shealy, Supervisor, offer for of fice again. The County roads are in the best condition ever and all one has to do to know this is true, is to take a drive through the county. I personally witness ed how Mr. Shealy accomplishes this, when the people of Mt. Pil grim Community desired to have the outmoded road improved. Mr. Shealy doesn’t sit in his office but on the other hand is out in the woods with the efficient em ployees and Chain Gang. He is out there giving his humble sup ervision and from his labors we have gained. Mr. Shealy probably hasn’t been able to please everybody and any man that doesn’t have any criticism is a man that never does anything. ^Ybat little criticism I have heard reminds me of the tale told to me recently by my good friend, a Christian gentleman, a good Newberrian, a noble South Caro linian and a great American, the Honorable Eugene S. Blease. Judge Blease tells it like this: Old Tom was offering for office again. He heard his boyhood friend, Bill, was working against him. Old Tom met Bill on the street and said, “Bill, people tel> me you are talking against Ine and I refused to believe it until I heard it from your mouth.” Bill says, “Tom, that’s right.” Old Tom said, “Bill, do you remember when you were about to lose your farm and I loaned you the money to save it, do you remember when your boy needed a job and I got one for him, do you remember when you needed a suit of clothes and I got it for you and many other times I could mention.” •Bill said, “Yes, Tom, but you ain’t done nothing right lately.” Yours truly, S/ Thomas Waters Long ELECTRIC MOTORS New-Used-Rebullt Bought-Sold -Exchanged We repair all types Satisfaction Guaranteed Mann Electric Repair Co. 2329 Main St..

Maxcy Stone said today that a number of changes have ben made in the laws relating to estate admin istrations.. All creditors of estates of de ceased persons must file a claim for the account due, with the pro bate judge or with the adminis trator or executor of such estate, within five months after the first advertisement for such claims, ac cording to the provisions of a new law which goes into effect on Ap ril first, this year. The recent legislature shortened the time for the administration of estates from a minimum of one year to a period of six months. Now, creditors of estates must get their claims filed no later than five months after the “notice to creditors appears in a county pa per for the first time. Other changes in the Probate Oourt law are consistent with the streamlining of the adminis tration period. The new law does not affect estates which are now in process. It covers estates on which administration is begun af ter April 1, 1956. Jr., of Newberry; and one niece, Mrs. George R. Felkel of Elloree.
