JAMES CLAY, geologist with the Bush River Watershed Survey
party, and T. B. (Dad) Amis, work unit conversationist, examine
sediment deposits caused by flooding of Bush River. (Sunphoto by
Doris A. Sanders.)
Those who have passed by Bush
River and its tributaries during
the rainy seasons of this spring
have had an opportunity to see
the sediment deposits and erosion
caused by flooding of the river
several times this year. Ascer
taining areas damaged by depos
it of sediment, and by erosion, is
the duty assigned to James Clay,
geologist with the Bush Rivet
Watershed survey party.
When he first came to work on
the Bush River project, Mr. Clay
surveyed the entire length of
Bush River and its tributaries to
determine the extent of sediment
and related damage, such as de
posit of infertile sand or other
material on bottomlands, swamp
ing of lands by the river result
ing in filling the river channel
with sediment, loss of topsoil in
flood plain areas and loss of land
to use by erosion.
After determining the nature
and extent of the sediment dam
age, it is up to the geologist to
locate the source of the sediment
and to recommend measures by
which the sediment can be con
trolled.
Mr. Clay is also responsible for
investigating each proposed dam
site' to see whether the site is
feasible from a geologic stand
point, and he aids the engineer in
working out an estimated cost of
construction on the flood control
structures.

to the alumni they have given
their most hearty approval and
many contributions have already
been received. He further stated
that *if every alumnus would co
operate in this project, the group
of 500 alumni in this area could
themselves raise over $5,000 of
the $20,000 project.”
Mr. Clarkson spoke to the group
and told them what other alum
ni were doing to help their alma
maters and that Newberry alum
ni should put their shoulders to
the wheel and make this program
a success. The program for the
next two years, that of raising
$20,000 each year to help with
faculty increases was most neces
sary and desirable.
Dr. Mamie S. Summer spoke in
regards to the value of a college
education" and what would many
' of the alumni in this area have
done if there had not been a col
lege in our midst.
The meeting was most enthus
iastic and much results can be ex
pected from those present and
those unable to attend.

squads of the six Little Boys’
teams.” This isn’t so hard to be
lieve, for someone who was fairly
closely associated with the Com
munity Chest drive last year—a
drive which failed mainly be
cause those who benefitted most
refused to help. Seems that is
always the way. But to get back
to the Little League, there will be
a game tonight, Thursday at 5
p.m. between Whitmire & Hart
ford; and on Friday between Ex
change and Newberry Federal.
I would urge you to attend the,
games, or if you are not interest
ed in Little League baseball, to
at least see the beautiful ball
park which has been furnished
through the interest of a few
business men and the cooperation
of many.
SCHOOL DAYS
I am beginning to almost feel
as though I were back in school,
having attended two junior-senior
banquets in the past two weeiks.
The first was that of the Silver-
street school at Panorama lodge,
which was a most enjoyable af-1
fair, especially since this was the [
third such banquet I had attended I
at Silverstreet and have watched,
mostly from afar but with inter
est, the progress of each of the
students during the three years.
The second was the Newberry
high school Junior-Senior Friday
night of last week, which was
also a delightful affair. The dec
orations, the dinner, the music
and the entertainment were all
tops and I do not wish to point
out any one individual who was
responsible for any one item, be
cause I understand all faculty
members were of great assistance
to the juniors in putting on the
banquet. Jimmy Crooks did an
excellent job as toastmaster and
Jacqueline Crooks and Susan Ann
Mayfield each did a good job of
representing their classes, junior
and senior respectively. Furnish
ing music were Eddie Aqderson,
baritone, accompanied by Miss
Juanita Hitt, and the Newberry
high school sextette, composed of
Elizabeth Earhardt, Claudia Setz-
ler, Edna Paysinger, Anna Coe
Keitt, Faye Blair, and Betty
Leavell, accompanied by Mary
Louise Dickert. Frasier and I
enjoyed “nights out” for both
occasions and wish to thank the
juniors of each school for their
kind invitations.

dustries in South Carolina. Since
it has been discovered that pine
pulp is good for paper making,
the benefits have increased and
the prospects are even greater,
and today the heaviest tonnage
of any one commodity handled by
the railroads in South Carolina is
pulpwood- moving to the various
paper plants in this and adjoin
ing States. This has all come
about by education, training and
supervision coming from the
faithful servants of our forestry
department. It is a business that
is growing greater and more im
portant between the rising and
setting of every day’s sun.
“I believe these things, in fact
I know them; and as evidence of
our faith in the present and the
future, the banking institution
with which I am connected has
loaned millions and millions of
dollars in the past 30 years to
carry on the forestry ^operations
in South Carolina, and not a
penny has been lost on these op
erations.”
' In concluding his talk Mr. Ed
wards said “There are two things
we need to do—first we need
training, education and help, such
as we are getting from the Ex
tension department of our own
great institution at Clemson col
lege and from the Federal and
State departments of agricul
ture and forestry. Secondly, we
must be willing to work.”
In a brief talk C. H. Flory for
ester with the State commission
of forestry stated that the year
ly planting of seedlings has in
creased from 8 million to 35 mil
lion in the past several years but
in order to keep abreast of the
increased demand for forestry
products it will be necessary to
increase planting to 60 million
yearly. This will mean putting
abandoned idle lands into full po
tential productivities.
The tour was sponsored by the
local Kiwanis club, the Champion
Paper and Fibre company, Inter
national Paper company and W.
Virginia Pulp and Paper com
pany. The cooperating agencies
were the U. S. Forest Service,
State Commission of Forest, Ex
tension Service and the Soil con
servation Service.
