These plans were made at a meeting of various organizations throughout the county at the college two weeks ago. Special centennial services were begun on October 21 when the pageant, “The College of the Op en Door” was presented in all Lutheran churches in the South Carolina, Georgia-Alabama and and Florida synods. The seconds in the series of services was the special convocation v held Wednes day night, at which time 9 honor ary degrees and 15 distinguished service awards were presented. The centennial program will con tinue with a Christmas presenta tion by the Newberry College Singers at 3:30 Sunday, December 9th in the college gymnasium. The highlight of the Centen nial year will be a celebration to take place in May, with pageant performances scheduled for five days. It is expected that more than 700 people will take part in this program. The celebration organization will consist of seven divisions with a chairman. foi; each. The seven main divisioh%foups will be head ed by a board of governors with Dr. C. A. Kaufmann, college pres ident, as chairman. An executive committee will function under the board. The chair menof the seven divisions will be: promotional, R. R. Bruner, Jr., men’s grpup; Miss Margaret Pay- singer, lady’s chairman; spectacle ticket division, Gordon Clarkson; spectacle division, A. W. Murray; publicity, O. M. Cobb; hospitality, T. William Hunter; special events, George K. Dominick, and revenue division, yet to be named. The pageant will portray the history of Newberry College. During the week, several reunions will probably be held. The board of directors decided that the special pageant week event should have a special name and that a contest will be held soon for suggestion as to the pro per name for this occasion. The Rogers Company of Fost- oria, Ohio will stage the event. It is expected that the lining up for the characters and practicing for the pageant will begin around January 1. The entire city and county will join with Newberry College in putting on the performance. [ i REMEMBER” 8Y THE OLDTIMCftS From Mrs. Rhodes Infer ton, Center, Texas: We who are grow ing older, like* Ponce Ae Leon, are seeking the fountain of youth and are we any more successful than he? Is it not a warning to parents to make children’s lives so full and interesting that theirs will have ^been pleasant memories which will carry them through the days when they are no longer carefree? When God created men and the universe, do you suppose he ever expected any of us to live in cities and be deprived of the beauties ' of nature; the close communion with animal and fowl life? We who grew up in the coun try feel that we were richly en dowed because we were sur rounded with so many interest ing things. Having been reared by a wise mother, our duties were planned in such a way as to ap pear like play. Each task was a challenge to the other children in the family, be it hunting the tur keys to their nest or pruning the grape-vines. There was praise for the one who found the most tur key eggs and we could stop at the blue clay bank and get clay enough to mold a miniature farm just to our liking. And it was a privilege to walk a mile to the back of the farm to g'et a horse to ride to the country store with maybe a basket of eggs. Work, if gone about tactfully, can be made to seem like play if yours is a wise mother. PRINTING: The Sun is well equip ped to handle all your printing orders.

MARTIN Radio and Television SALES and SERVICE 1309 MAIN STREET Newberry, 8. C. 24 HOUR SERVICE FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist HYBRID SORGHUMS Dr. Paden tells me they are testing hybrid sorghums at Clem son. Dr. John H. Martin, emin ent sorghum breeder and author ity with the United States de partment of agriculture, says the coming hybrids should increase sorghum yields 20 to 40 per cent. The whole field of hybridization is a fascinating one. Through it and the fine points of plant breeding, the future is assured of a continuing abundance. These grain sorghums hold an important place in, our future. Strongly resistant to drought, di sease, and insects, yielding a bit better than corn usually, and with about the same feed value, their domain is increasing and will likely to continue to. And down in this part of the country they have another virtue —they can be grown following grain, where coiin can’t. This gives us a small grain crop and another good carbohydrate feed crop from the same land in the same year. Grain sorghum is usually com bined, dried, and then fed. But the county agents tell me it is also grazed off considerably. Ag ent Ezell of Newberry showed me turkeys grazing it off there a few winters ago and that grow ers liked it in that role. DAIRY CATTLE IMPROVE MENT. Our fall dairy cattle sales av eraged higher than last year, our dairy specialist, C. G. Cushman, tells me. The James B. Guess Guernsey sale at Denmark aver aged $440, the State Holstein Sale $438, and the State Guern sey Sale $338 per head. Cattle numbers have reached a new high in this country. But the increase has been in beef cattle. Dairy cattle are really down a bit, but their production is up. This is a tribute to the improv ed breeding & feeding the dairy men are doing. Another tendency in the dairy business, Cushman says, is that the herds are get ting fewer but larger. And that is the tendency in farming, larg er units. Mechanization and the need for larger per man income account for this. BARNWELL MARKET The county of Barnwell, with the aid of the State Marketing Authority, built a modern produce market at' Blackville the past spring. It was finished just in time to handle the cucumber and melon crops. County Agent Shelly has this to say about it now: “The Barn well County Farmer’s Market at Blackville ended a very successful first season. The volume of prod ucts handled was equivalent to more than 1600 carloads of Wat ermelons and 225 carloads of can- teloupes. This is one of the most successful programs we have ev er been able to put over in this county.” !YfOf(K ABOUT COASTAL Coastal Bermuda, like irriga tion, keeps bobbing up. Despite the very dry summer just pased, County Agent Mel- lett of Aiken reports: “Farmers were well pleased with Coastal Bermuda hay yields.” Craven of Edgefield: “Coastal Bermuda was a life-saver to cattlemen the past summer.” .Down in Jasper, Hayden reports: “Many farmers harvested Coastal Bermuda hay the past summer. Yields per cutting ran from 1 1-2 to 2 tons per acre. And in Lexington, Evans says: “Most new Coastal Bermuda pas tures were good the past dry sum mer, specially where good culti vation and fertilization practices were carried out.” 0 ODD HEADGEAR . < .

Garry maintains the show would be nothing without Henry and it surprises us that so many people do not realize this fact . . . Morgan is blunt, even controversial, but he is the pivot upon which the success or failure of the show swings . . . Since the program is a howling success* much credit must necessarily go to the cynic who helps immeasur ably. Personally, we consider *Tve Got a Secret” the best panel show on the air . . .
