Whose Is It ?
By Doris A. Sanders
BIKERS BEWARE
Chief of Poiico t olie i)u\\d
would like f"i narcnts of boy- and
j;‘ii'ls who own bicycle.- to please
lecture them a little on satety.
Many complaints have been re
ceived recently about bikers not
observing 1 stop signs and othei
traffic signals, especially since
so many of the boys and girls are
riding their hikes to the Little
League baseball games. 1 know
this is true because many times
I have had to stop the car over
on Nance street near the inter
section of Chapman while bike
riders took their time in getting
over to the side, or either didn t
get over at ad- ° r when they
would come out of ( hapman
street into Nance without check
ing the traffic beforehand. “We
have a good safety record and we
.want to keep it
that way,” says
i the chief. “We
(want flie hoys
and girls to en-
[ joy their o u t -
doors games but
they won’t b e
able to if they
arc 1 struck by a
car.” And cars
these days run
Mrs. Sanders too fast. even
around town, to stop in time to
avoid fitting a youngster wiu>
runs or rides a hike in front ot
them. Please, parents urge your
youngsters to be careful.

League, the new field behind |
Boundary street was officially

Spangled Banner.
I would like to mention here
some more of the donations which

Tax Money Is
Well Spent On
Conservation
By MRS. A. H. COL NTS
The highlight of soil conserva
tion week observed in Newberry
County April 30-May 0 was a
tour Thursday into the Jalapa
section of the Sumter National
Forest for a demonstration on
forest management and an ad
dress by B. M. Edwards of Co
lumbia, chairman of the Board of
Directors of the South Carolina
National Bank.
Forest management from the
seedling to the mature saw tim
ber was discussed by forestry ex
pert's, who covered the methods
of planting- trees, selective mark
ing of timber, marketing forest
products, insects and disease,
hardwood control, die out found in
planted pine and a fire control
demonstration.
Following the demonstration
the group assembled at t.he New
berry VFW hut for a barbecue
turkey hash dinner and the ad
dress by Mr. Ewards who told
his audience “I don’t believe in
spending too much money by the
federal government, certainly in
many of the programs that they
have had and still have , in ef
fect, but the taxpayers money
that has been spent by the fed
eral and state government during i
the past 30 or 40 years by the '
department of agriculture (and
this, of course, includes those en
gaged in the work of soil conser
vation and the growing of tim
ber) has in my opinion, been one !
of the best paying investments ;
that has been made anywhere or
in any business in the nation.”
Mr. Edwards recalled the dam
age to land by the early methods
of farming and the destruction
to forest through poor manage
ment and added “these soil con
servation fellows taught the
farmers a different plan. Through
their efforts many valuable acres
of land in South Carolina have
been reclaimed, and of course
this *has taken place throughout
the nation. Then along came the
forestry people. They began their
plan of education and instruction
and the results have been so good
that they are almost unbeliev
able.
“Here in South Carolina God
has particularly blessed us. We
live in a section that has the
greatest growth and production
of timber of any area in the
world. This forestry business has
for hundreds of years been one of
the important businesses and in-
