COUNTS The fact that Newberry County farmers and land owners are int erested in conserving the natural resources of (heir property is in dicated by the 1200 cooperators in the Newberry Soil Conservation District. These cooperators now have a total of 177,500 acres in the conservation program, which is 53 percent of the 336,578 acres of farm land in the district which is composed of Newberry County, according to Dr. T. S. Buie of Co lumbia, State Conservationist, who was -on a trip here recently. Dr. Buie, who was accompanied by J. L. Wilson, area conserva tionist, of Chester, stated that 52 new cooperators, with a total of 7500 acres, came under the con servation program in the New berry district during the first six months of this year. He also said that the district is now being farmed in accordance with the conservation program. A large number of the farms are complete in the program and all of the work that needs to be done to bring the farms up to full conser vation practices has been done. Dr. Buie pointed out that the 7500 acreage brought under con servation so far this year is being farmed as follows: 1246 acres are in conservation rotations; 943 acres in pasture; 554 acres are planted in trees; 1139 acres are under the woodland thinning pro gram; 692 acres have been con verted from cropland to grass land, 40 miles of terraces have been constructed and 49 ponds have been built. The change to conservation farming will prove to be a great source of help to the present farm ers and land owners, but the re sults will remain to benefit future generations. Dr. Buie stated that the New berry District ranks high in South Carolina in the conserva tion program and commended those in charge of promoting and car rying out the work throughout the* district. The Newberry Conservation District supervisors are: Thad McCrackin Jr., Chairman; C. L. Lester, • secretary and treasurer; Clifford T. Smith, George E. Young and D. A. Bedenbaugh. T. B. (Dad) Amis is district Soil Conservationist; E. E. Epting is work unit conservationist; W. F. Smith and C. E. Metts are agri cultural aides.

Eston Marchant of Colum bia is vice president of the foun dation; Dr. William S. Brocking- ton of Greenwood is secretary- treasurer; and William N.

The new purchaser need not be a veteran, Mr. Findley pointed out, and the Government’s guaranty of the loan is not affected by releas ing the veteran from his liability. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Koon, Alice Faye and Jimmy Koon, and Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Hamm and son, Laddy, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Shealy and Bobby, and Jimmy Beden baugh are spending this week on their vacation at Myrtle Beach. Dr. and Mrs. A. T. Atkison and three children, Amy, Karen and Jimmy, spent last week on their vacation at Edisto Beach. They were accompanied for a few days by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Brown. Pvt. Alewine Is In Germany FOR BENNING, Ga. (AHTNC) —Army Private Olin R. Alewine, son of Mrs. Bessie H. Alewine, Rt. 1, Pomaria, recently left the U. S. for Germany where he is sched uled to be assigned to the 37th Armor in Schweinfurt. Alewine, a tank crewman, ent ered the Army last December and received basic training at Fort Jackson. The 22-year-old soldier is a 1953 graduate of Little Mountain High School. Home Selling Vets Should See VA A veteran selling his home and GI mortgage should first contact the Veterans Administration if he wishes to be released from lia bility to the Government on his GI loan. Such a release protects the vet eran in the event the new purch aser defaults in payments, John I. Findley, Loan Guaranty- Officer of the VA Regional Office in Co lumbia said today. Mr. Findley explained that a 1956 law allows veterans to be re leased ftom liability to the Gov ernment, provided the new pur chaser meets credit requirements and assumes the veteran’s obliga tions to the Government on the State Bank No. 67-693 REPORT OF CONDITION OF THE BANK OF COMMERCE OF PROSPERITY IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON JUNE 23, 1958.

(Continued from page 1) at times: “Who will guard the guards?” It’s like having Lana to baby sit with one’s 18-year- old son, or Ava and her bullfight er to chaperone a houseparty. Did you know that as a mem ber of Congress you could take the most fabulous trips at govern ment expense? Or as the guest of industrialists and unions ? As a broad abroad officially, you could spend freely from “counterpart” funds (American taxpayers’ mon ey in disguise) and wouldn’t even have to account for it. If you weren’t interested in any boy friend at the time, you could even go alone, expenses still paid. Ain’t that wondy ? Of course, generally, the boys take movie queens and officeholders around the world for the same reason. < F.D.R. and Truman were given And kept everything from walking canes to bowling alleys.
