Farm Building On Increase Says Culler More farm construction—with better homes for farm families, better shelter for livestock and improved storage facilities for machinery and grain. That’s the prospect in coming years says John C. Culler, Jr., County Sup ervisor for the Farmers Home Ad ministration, an agency of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Recently, as an anti-recession measure, his agency expanded its farm housing loan program to the fullest extent possible under ex isting laws set up by Congress. And Mr. Culler reports that he already has received many inquir ies from interested people in the area. To be eligible now, an appli cant must own a farm that is in agricultural production and must plan to produce at least $400 worth of commodities for sale and home use, based .on 1944 prices.

Culler said that one reason for renewed interest in farm con struction is that many of the farm homes and service buildings in the community were built a number of years ago and because of weather and age now need general repair. And in some cases farm owners need to re place them entirely with modern structures designed to meet pres ent day needs. In addition to financing major construction, the loan funds can help a farm owner repair and up date buildings. For example, he may wish to add a bathroom in cluding a waste disposal system, modernize the kitchen, add an ex tra bedroom, improve the heating, insulation and electric wiring, put a basement under the house, and cement floors in service buildings, or paint the house and service buildings. . Mr. Culler reports that the ag ency has $400 million available nationally which can be used over the next three years for farm housing loans. He said there is no specified limitation on the amount which can be loaned in any one state or community. Practically all of the money wilU be spent locally to purchase sup plies at lumber yards and business places, and to hire skilled labor. Miss Martin Speaks At Kiwanis Meet Miss Margaret Martin, Food Production and Conservation Spe cialist, in the Clemson Extension Service, gave an interesting and most informative talk on Land scaping and Gardening at the Ki wanis Club on Thursday, May 15. With the assistance of A1 Busby, County Agent, some colored slides were shown, illustrating some of the right and wrong ways to arrange yards, walks, drive ways, and the planting of flow ers and shrubbery. Another highlight of the meet ing was two songs by Prof. Ker- nie N. Wessinger, assistant pro fessor of music at Newberry Col lege. Prof. Wessinger was accom panied by Prof. Darr Wise, also assistant professor of music at Newberry College. Among the visitors for this meeting were Bobby Davenport and Richard Briggs—two Key Clubbers from the Newberry High School Key Club, Miss Marjorie Freeman, home demonstration agent and Mr. Seaman. FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By Clare D. SmStit Seeking a Spot in the Adult World A teenage boy asks: “How old do you have to be before your parents are convinced you are no longer a child?” I don’t think we can give a sat isfactory answer here. In the eyes of some parents, their children never grow up, even after they get out into the world and begin a family of their own. The desire to protect, to guide and to advise too often carries over into the second generation. Because we live in a world of reality, it never happens that one morning, because an age in life has been attained or a singular event has taken place, a father might say to his son, “Today, you are no longer a child.” It could happen in books, but not in life. There is only one way for a teen ager or near-adult to be accepted into what is termed the “adult” world, and this one way is through development as a mature, “grown- thinking” individuaL You have to “show” people and, perhaps, as our teenager suggests, they are sometimes difficult to convince. It is the wise parent who rea lizes that the average youngster will work hard at the job of grow ing up. Understanding and compan ionship go a long way toward mak ing the transition a healthy and successful one.

National Honors To Parr Cattle National honors have been awarded H, L. Parr, Headspring Farm, Newberry, for an outstand ing Jersey bull he owns. The bull, Sam ^reaming Aristocrat, has been named a Senior Superior Sire by The American Jersey Cattle Club, which has national head quarters in Columbus, Ohio. The Senior Superior Sire rating indicates that a bull has. passed on both high production and good breed type to his daughters. Sam Dreaming Aristocrat has 47 daughters tested for production. They averaged 9,520 lbs. milk and 532 lbs. butterfat on a twice- daily-milking, 305-day mature equivalent basis. The bull also has 46 daughters classified for breed type with an average of 85.87 percent. The average clas sification score for all Jerseys classified last year was 85.49 per cent. Parr’s Senior Superior Sire al so has been officially classified for type. He has achieved the high rating of Very Good. Sam Dream ing Aristocrat was bred by C. ’B. Parr, Jr., Newberry, who sold the Jersey to H. L. Parr, his present owner.

Cities to From Mrs. Della E. Macomber, Elkins, W. Va.: I remember about the year 1870 when peddlers with great packs on their backs would come to our house to stay all night. My sister and T cot^ld hardly wait until they opened their pack. Mother would buy yard goods, sox, stockings, needles, pins, but tons, and other things. In return for a night’s lodging, the peddler would usually present a tablecloth and towels. * * * From Mrs. Ethel Standiford, Mt. Healthy, Ohio: I can remember the time, years ago, when women were not supposed to smoke ciga rettes and how I tried and why I failed. One night about midnight in Louisville, Ky., my husband, a riend and myself went out to get ;ome ice cream. We hunted for a ong time, but all the stores were dosed. The men decided they would ;moke. I was not going to be out- lone, so I demanded one too. They aughingly gave me one. My! I thought I was smart—until we turned the street corner and ran into a big policeman. He saw what I was doing, and angrily said in no uncertain tone A “Throw that thing away, Sister!" I threw it as far as I could send it--my first and last.
