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.

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
