Attends Meeting
In Cleveland
I. D. Wilson of Newberry re
cently returned from Cleveland,
Ohio, where he attended an In
ternational Sales Meeting sponsor
ed by the Mowman Products
Company, a leading U. S. distribu
tor of automotive parts and ac
cessories. Some 300 salesmen and

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.

viously were ineligible can quali
fy for loans under the expanded
program.
Mi. 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.
The records which qualified
Sam Dreaming Aristocrat for his
national recognition were made
under programs sponsored by The
American Jersey Cattle Club for
continuous improvement of the

Pinckney N. Abrams, Sec.-Treas.
This beautiful city of some 117,-
500 population is situated on the
east shore of San Francisco Bay,
directly opposite the Golden Gate.
Founded in 1864, it was named for
George Berkeley, Bishop of Qoyne,
and author of the phrase, “West
ward tiie Course of Empire Takes
Its Way." Berkeley's altitude is
from sea level to 1,300 feet and
there are but two seasons, the dry
or summer season from May
through October, and the rainy or
winter season from November
through April !
Center of Education
Here at Berkeley is the “moth
er” campus of the eight institu
tions comprising the University
of California, “the largest Univer
sity in the world." The eight in
stitutions (others: Davis, La Jolla,
Los Angeles, Mount Hamilton,
Riverside, San Francisco, and San
ta Barbara) have full-time enroll
ment of more than 30,000 students,
part-time enrollment qjf some 100,-
000 University extension students,
and 12,000 faculty members and
employees. Six^ faculty members
are Nobel Prize winners.
All roads lead to the University
Memorial Stadium when the “Gold
en Bears" play inter-collegiate
football, but throughout the year
the 600-acre campus abounds in in
teresting features. Here is the
Greek Theatre, a gift of William
Randolph Hearst. Modeled after
an ancient Athenian structure, it
seats 6,200 and has been visited
through the years by celebrities in
the field of music and drama. Be
yond the museum stands the Me
morial Stadium and above the sta
dium, in Strawberry Canyon, the
Botanical Gardens. Higher on the
hill ia the Big “C," the famous
atom-smashing cyclotron.
Recreation
One of Berkeley's most popu
lar recreation spots is Charles Lee
Tildeh Park, a 1,900-acre play area
for the rapidly growing cities on
the East Shore of San Francisco
Bay. Lake and pool facilities are
provided, as well as hiking and
riding trails, golf course and other
facilities.
Well remembered by service
men and women who visited Ber
keley during the 40’s is the famous
Hotel Clermont, known for its
cuisine and entertainment.

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.
