MOUNTAIN BEAUTY
I’ve seen mountains in differ
ent parts of the country. They all
have their charm. But they are
so different. For sheer beauty of
flower, foliage and gushing
streams, ours are tops. I rode
back in ’em in late May. The
laurel was pink on every ledge
and the daisies were thick upon
the open ground.
Then later the rhododendron
marked its place with beauty-
Your hardly notice it and laurel
until they come forth in gorgeous
and profuse bloom. But they are
in such abundance there that they
largely make up the jungle of
underbrush in that well-watered
vastness there to our west.
Lucky are we that the bulk of
our population is withina short
ride of these cool mountains. And
many folks live so close to them
in our most industrialized areas
and closest farmed communities
that they can see them, invitingly
blue there in the -distance. And
folks are going there too, like to
our beaches, for a breath of fresh
cool air during the hot months.
I often think of the comforts
of living here. Winters mild, with
seashore and cool mountains with
in a short drive of every citizen!
Now, folks, that’s something too.
For vast areas of our country
don’t have either of these com
forts within reach. And in many
of them the summers are hotter
than here. Nights too!
RABBITS EATING OKRA
County Agent Livingston of
Charleston told me rabbits were
a bad pest on okra there. Said
they had great trouble getting it
up to where they couldn’t reach
it-
Looks like there is one or more
pests for everything. Okra has
been fairly free of ’em, after you
get it up and started to grow.
Now comes the rabbits!
PEACHES IN LOW COUNTRY
Science has bred peaches that
don’t require such a long winter
chill period. That means they can
be grown further south without
injury from insufficient winter
rest.
With these, peach orchards are
showing up down-state. County
Agent Shelley of Barnwell told
me they had 500 acres. And Rog
ers of Allendale showed me some
very fine producing orchards
there.

Only a few years ago commer
cial peaches were not known
much below the Fall line. Now
large acreages are coming down
there. v
Clemson is not promoting this,
but, of course, helps all interest
ed growers with their plantings.
And Roy Ferree tells me some of
those new groyers are doing a
good job of orcharding already.
Change, change, the constancy
of it! Things just don’t stay put
in this old world of chance.
WATER MEANS LIFE
I speak often of water here.
The President’s Advisory Com*
mittee on Water Resources has
this tc say:
“Water is more than a natural
resource—it is a necessity of life.
Here in the United States, bless
ed with a continent of virgin soil,
we lived more than 200 years, be
fore the water problem became
generally acute. But the uses we
make of water in modem society
are so tremendous that they stag
ger the imagination. The coming
of our industri&l era, the rising
of our living standards, and the
increased application of water to
land have now highlighted the
problem until in much of the na
tion there is a grave and increas
ing concern over water re
sources.”
Among examples of heavy use
of water it showed that 65,000
gallons were needed in making'1
ton of finished steel, 50,000 gal
lons for 1 ton of paper, and six
gallons of water in making each
gallon of gasoline. Add to that a
constantly increasing household
use. Also irrigation, that is just
getting started good over much
of the country, and we begin to
see the plight of our once consid
ered abundant water supply.
All means for conserving our
water for use are in order now.
Rainfall is its source. Therefore
good farming that helps get the
water into safe storage in the
soil is of prime importance to
all. Then ail manner of ponds
and reservoirs to conserve heavy
rainfall and prevent wasteful
runoff during periods of heavy
rainfall are coming. Our rainfall
in the East is adequate only if we
can retain it for use. Droughts
are too frequent and runoff too
heavy for rainfall to fill our needs
unless we can retain it better
than we have.

The old country store, there
at the foot of the hill, we
started talking about that here
last week. My early memories
of the $tone Hills are tied hard
to it.
It was our main contact with
neighbors from across the hills,
down the road, or up the creek.
For when something broke they
could not fix, there they came
with it to that marvelous man
who ran it and the shop and
could fix anything that was
fixable.
Usually they waited for him
to fix it, thus saving a trip
back. This gave the group a-
round the. burnished stove
there in winter, or the giant
HKN SCORES 96.3 . . . Sam R. Honegger, breeder hatcbery head (left) and A. W. O’Steen, Florida test

oak out there in the yard in
the summer, a rather constant
and varied group. There you
could sit a few hours and catch
up pretty well on local news,
views, gossip, and politics.
There was always whittling,
whether around the stove or un
der the tree. That was rather
common around most country
stores then. But specially so
around ours there in the Dutch
Ferk. The fact that the wood
working shop was there m the
back aggravated this. There
was the smell of sawdust,
shavings, and curing wood all
the time. And shavings were
upon the floor. So the perfect
ly natural thing to do as you
joined the group was to reach
down into your pocket and get
your knife and join the whit-
tlers.
I think the mam 1 reason it
used to be so natural to reach
for your knife and start whit
tling was that same urge now
thaK prompts a fellow to un
consciously reach for a cigar
ette and light it. Just something
to do with the hands.
Talking about whittling, there
was an old Confederate soldier
storekeeper two miles out at
White Rock, where we caught
the old wood-burner to Colum
bia, that was a neat whittler
for sure. He’d sit there around
his store or oak tree out front
and hardly without looking*
carve the most intricate little
totem poles I had ever seen.
Back then we didn’t have card
board cartons like now and
lumber was plentiful and cheap.
So things came in wood boxes,
mostly white pine. And that
stuff made awfhlly easy whit
tling. I’ve seen 4 or 5 men
whittling lip a whole box of it
in the course of a few hours sit-
to there around the winter stove
or under the summer oak.
Memories aplenty around the
old country store. More of ’em
next Week.

In treating the ill and the injured,
there is no substitute for blood. Even
in these days of “wonder drugs,” blood
is one thing that cannot be mined or
manufactured. It must be given. And
you and your fellow Americans are
the only ones who can give it!
In addition to the blood needs of
our community - blood is needed to
build a national reserve of blood de
rivatives. This reserve is a form of
“life insurance” for hundreds of thou
sands in time of disaster. Yes, your
priceless, painless gift will some day
help save an American life! So give
blood — now!
