C. 1504 Coates St. Phone 372 Cancer To Leave Community Chest The Newberry County Chapter of the American Cancer Society has definitely decided to with draw from the Newberry County Community Chest, according to a statement made this week by Mrs. Parnell Ringer, county com mander of the chapter. This deci sion was made after conference with Mrs. Paul H. Leonard, execu tive director of the South Caro lina Division of the Society. De claring that it was in the public interest that the Newberry chap ter conduct its own independent fund raising and educational cam paign, Mrs. Leonard said that the Society could not join the United Fund in a “give-once-for-all ap peal.” Mrs. Leonard further stated it has come to the attention of the American Cancer Society, South Carolina Division, that the Unit ed Fund of Newberry County has only given to the Newberry Coun ty Cancer Unit 65 per cent of its budget requested. This drastic decrease in requests has been made for several previous years also, although the budget is based on a minimum amount on which to carry on an efficient and effec tive program for needy cancer cases. It becomes necessary, there fore, for the Newberry Unit to withdraw from the Newberry United Fund. It is necessary for the 55 cancer patients, who are listed as indigent from your coun ty, to receive more adequate care, and this can be given only through increased funds.” Mrs. Ringer stated today that the cancer fund is $900 short for this year, and that those who wish to contribute solely to cancer may do so by becoming members of the Unit with a contribution of $1.00 or more. Contributions may be made to Mrs. Ringer, or to Mrs. H. W. Lominick, treasurer, of Pomaria. Truesdale To Head Alcoholic Fund Rev. Neil Truesdale has been appointed local chairman for Newberry to serve during the statewide campaign June 10-17 for funds to be used in rehabili tating alcoholics through Fair- view Center, according to an an nouncement made by A. L. M. Wiggins of Hartsville who is serving as State Chairman for this first united effort in behalf of the program of reclaiming al coholics. The goal for Fairview this year is $50,000, to be obtained in cash and pledges during the campaign. The funds will be used for operat ing expenses for the Men's Cen ter and for construction of a Wo men's Center which will have a capacity of 12 women patients. Fairview has been in operation since August, 1951 and has ad mitted more than one thousand patients. The demand for help continues to exceed the capacity and financial ability of Fairview, according to Rev. Maxie C. Col lins, Director. Patients able to do so are expected to contribute the cost of their stay which averages about one hundred dollars per month. However, less than ten per cent of patients admitted are able to make any contribution and the cost of ninety iper cent of the patients must be defrayed by voluntary contributions. Easter Seal School Drive Is Success Mrs. Irwin Satterwhite, Jr., chairman of the school Easter Seal drive for the Newberry County Crippled Children's So ciety, expresses appreciation to the following for making the drive in the schools an excellent success this year: P. K. Harmon, James Brown, Mrs. Julia Smith, Mrs. John McCullough, Mrs. Ruth Mathis, Mrs. Phillip Kelly, Mrs. Wilbur Boozer, Mrs. Ralph Haile, Mrs .Fred Gilbert and Miss Eun ice Allen. Every school contrib uted to make the total amount collected $762.69. FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Ciemson Extension Information Specialist FARM ELECTRICITY In 1935 we had only 650 miles of rural power lines in South Car olina with 5000 customers. Now we have 44,416 miles with 272,713 rural customers! Our folks are served by three different sorts of power compan ies, the co-ops, the private, and the municipally owned companies, each serving a different area. The thickest customers are ser ved by the municipal group. They average 16.8 rural customers to the mile on their 837.5 miles. Nex.t comes the private utilities with 9.64 customers per mile on their 13,480 miles of lines. Next comes the cooperatives with an average of 4.04 customers per mile o a their 28,932 miles of line. With less than half the custom ers per mile of the private utili ties, and less than a fourth as many as the municipally owned companies, it is evident the farm er-owned cooperatives are hand ling their business well to be paying out like most of them are. Electricity on the farm! Nowhere does it carry more meaning. And it has changed farm life much to the better. New uses are constantly coming for elec tricity too. Heavier lints and bet ter wiring are needed in many in stances already. ‘Boys and girls are learning to handle and effec tively use electricity in their 4-H clubs and in their summer camps. Company workers are very helpful in all of this. ERADICATE HOG CHOLERA The scourge of hog cholera can be eradicated! So says the veterinarian. Now, folks, that’s sensational news. As a county agent in the early days, I was busy months at a time when this disease was ram pant. Usually it came in the roughest of winter and roads were awful. I often worked from a wag on. In the fall of 1928 we had a great storm. Rivers got clear out to the hills. That seemed t o spread it; and we had cholera on every hand. I treated over 10,000 hogs for farmers, largeandsmall, black and white, in that county winter. Veterinarians were not available, so they taught us early county agents to treat hogs. In the past, we gave the hog a small shot of live cholera virus and a big shot pf serum to coun teract it. That revolutionary pro tection against cholera was dis covered by Dr. Dorsett, of Tenn essee, and associates in the de partment of agriculture a half a century ago. And it cut down the $100,000,000 annual loss from hog cholera to insignificance. Now a better method has been found. None of that dangerous live virus is used. With a new sort of serum, hogs are safe for a year. And that’s longer than mar ket hogs live. One by one the states are outlawing the use of live virus, as it puts cholera on the premised and can spread to untreated hogs. Our law like that went into effect the first of the past March, Dr. Carter tells me. Canada has it all over the coun try. And, I understand, all last year they only had 17 hogs at one place to have cholera. Practical eradication in that vast area al ready! Yes, science marches on. A RECORD The highest verified corn yield ever produced was made by a 4-H club boy in Mississippi last year. Lamar Ratliff produced 304.38 bushels of dry, measured corn on a measured acre!, “Fanti Journal” has long offered a substantial, re ward to the first person who could break into the 300 bushel group. The county agent and oth er responsible local officials sup ervised and checked the harvest, including the sending of a sample to State college to check for moisture content. This young fellow has been at tracting attention for some time, as he built his corn yield higher and higher. He used every element of production the county agent would suggest. A few years ago he added irrigation, and thus made bumper productions during several, dry years. Biit last year the showers came just as he needed them, and he didn’t have to use irrigation on that record crop. Surely we don’t know the full power that lies in these lands of our Southeast, when know-how is fully applied. Youngsters like La mar are digging into those sleep ing potentials. And, for every one who wins a prize, there are many youngsters who just learn how to grow better corn, produce a better animal, or Hve a better life in 4-H and FFA. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Last week we crossed Twin Bridges. Now we come to the two main hills of boyhood in the Dutch Fork, Boyd and Ray. The old Appalachian Trail scal ed both of ’em. It wormed its way on the ground, like a snake, and with little more addo. In the winter it was a quagmire most of the time. And, when the droughts of summer came, the dust was deep. The Stone Hills are rolling, few severe. But our two main ones, Boyd and Ray, were. Each as cended from a creek. A rocky pro montory crowned them. Guess that is why time had not worn them down. As a kid, I feared those hills, unless I was afoot. Going up was a pretty good load for the horse, even with empty vehicle. And loads had to be adjusted to suit. If women and children were in the buggy, the man would walk. And if it was a wagon, you always walked, if it was loaded. Normally five bags of guano made a load on a wagon. But if either of those hills had to be negotiated, 3 were enough. I dreaded them. Going down, I feared the hold-back straps or breeching would break. And com ing up, it was the traces I was concerned about, as the plodding animal gave them all it had. I can hear that singletree squeak ing now, and see it bending, as the critter dragged its burden up those steps of stone, where the “Big Road” negotiated the hills Ray and Boyd. But time changes things. Now a smooth ribbon of stone mark the course that was the muddy, rocky, dusty slough called the “Big Road,” the Appalacian Trail, in my day as a kid in the Stone Hills. And you wouldn’t notice the hills of Boyd and Ray now. Dynamite long since blew their rocky crests away. These were piled in the valley below. And now you glide along as fast as you wish, and there’s just a m j «. - MARINE TRAINER . . . MaJ. Gen. David M.
