Let Turkey Be Only Fatality During Holiday The cooperation of motorists is asked by the State Highway Dep artment in an all-out effort aimed at making Tom Turkey the only Thanksgiving holiday fatality. “Tom Turkey’s goose is cooked, but no one has to die in holiday traffic accidents in South Caroli na,” a Department official observ ed. “Every driver is urged to drive at a speed that is safe for exist ing traffic and weather condi- QUALITY For prompt and efficient service in filling* prescrip tions of any doctor, call us.

C. tions, and to put his time of arriv al last in importance to his safe arrival, thereby avoiding the ‘hurry complex’. “Remember too, that Tom Tur key, plus a heavy meal, and a long drive home late in the day often make a driver drowsy, es pecially after a long day of fes tivities,” he continued. Highway patrolmen will be out in force on the highways where they may readily be seen, and will he especially watchful for reck less, speeding, and drunken driv ers. Arrests will be made on the spot, when in order. In South Carolina during the period in 1957, five persons lost their lives in 335 traffic accidents, which injured another 76 persons, Highway Department records show. “Thanksgiving is traditionally a time forjoyous family get-to-to- gethers with loved ones. Don’t spoil your family’s holidays by a thoughtless move or a stupid mis take in traffic,” he concluded. Postal Service Being Improved Says Moose “That extra postage you are paying these days is beginning to pay off in more efficient service,” according to local postmaster Har ry E. Moose, in announcing changes being made in service by the post office department in Newberry. The principal improvement in the city will be the addition, in the near future, of four “drive-in” mail boxes, like the one now locat ed on - College street at the rear of the post office. The new ones will be placed near Mollohon Mill, Newberry Mills, Inc., on Drayton street, on College Street near Rosemont Cemetery and on Main street near Heller’s Grocery store. Delivery service is also being extended, according to the post master, who says that four rural carriers will add an additional 138 rural families; and that city service has been extended to an additional 123 residences and three business establishments. Miss Ann Lominack, a student nurse at Columbia Hospital, spent the weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frazier Lominack on Summer street.

ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Spocialiat YORK FEEDER SALE From York to Yuhannah and Yemasee, and from Jocassee to Johnston and Jacksonboro, I see the steady growth of cattle every where I look. To start with, our cattle were inferior, for we did the sensible thing. But we are fast upgrading them with good bulls. And now feeders from as far as Oklahoma, Indiana, and Pennsylvania attend our sales, take feeders back, and they tell us they like’em. A large handler of feeder cattle on the Baltimore market told me southern feeders were once not wanted and discounted on his market. Now they are called for in good demand, and top the mar ket. Change, change, the constancy of it! County agent Miller of York tells me the growers ther© sold 578 head for $61,561.09 in their York County Feeder Calf Sale in the early fall. They had buyers from Baltimore, Indiana, and Kentucky, in addition to those from near-by points. Grass and cattle! They are mar ked for our future here. And we are just good started with’em. We need to learn, and we are learning, more and more of the old practi cal know-how about ’em. Miller says their weekly live stock sales there are constantly rising. This year he looks for them to top the million-dollar mark. Not bad for am old cotton county. LINK IN HISTORY We are just a link in history, and it’s a long chain. I’ve been reading a rare book from the Clemson library, a translation from Columella, who wrote just a few years after Christ. Thik book is on agricul ture. It is amazing, the knowledge they had back in that day. And he often refers to the fact that they got much of it “from the an cients”! Ye gods! A SCOURGE CONTROLLED Billbugs have been a real pest, truly a scourge upon the land. But fortunately they were not wide spread until late. When I went to Sumter as county agent in 1923 about the worst spot of ’em was across there in the edge of Lee county. The USD A put an entomologist there to work on their control. He worked diligently for years, and about the only lead I recall he got was just to keep corn off the land except rarely in rotation. But like in many other cases, in recent years powerful new poisons have come that give us the upper hand against most insects. And they billbug hasjust of late fallen in that class. The past two years county agents have put on many demon strations in the control of billbugs by applying 2 pounds of technical aldrin per acre either broadcast or in the fertilizer. All results good, mostly spectular. County Agent Livingston of Florence told me of a test on the J. R.. McClam farm. One acre in a 3-acre field was treated with al drin. Good stand maintained there. Other two acres completely destroyed. Listen to County Agent Gray of Darlington : “A. J. Howard used 2 pounds aldrin in 200 pounds of fertilizer disced in before planting, as re commended by Dr. Kirk at the Pee Dee Experiment Station, on a large acreage of corn for the past two years. Mr. Howard left a check plot each time. Last year his comparison showed 65 bushels compared to 5 bushels per acre in favor of treatment. I estimate that this year it will be 75 bushels to 5 in favor of the' treated area.” Recent Marriages John F.

TURNER - JEWELERS - Caldwell St. Phone 19-W This Thanksgiving season re minds me of the one 50 years ago. It had to do with my first and last bout with smoking cigarettes, I was 12. It had been a rough fall, and roads were terrible, a veritable quagmire. Aunt Vennie and those who lived in the ancestral home there in the valley below us had some turkeys to sell. Columbia, 20 miles away, was the only place they could do it. The problem was getting them there. Even two heavy mules to a normal 2-horse wagon would find the burden heavy. It so happened, we were .one- horse farmers. So our wagon was of that vintage, lighter, and rath er new. For hard going like this, and when fertilizer was to be hauled over similar late winter roads, we had gotten it with inter changeable shafts for one animal and tongue for two. So they bor rowed this light wagon, hitched the tongue on, and used their two best mules to take about 15 tur-, keys to town. Their youngest boy, Holmes, about 1®, was assigned the job. I begged to go with him and finally my folks consented. During those short days, that 20 miles was ,a pretty strenuous day’s trip. We put about 75 ears of shucked corn in a sack and tied it and .a dozen bundles of fod der on top of the wagon. This was the first spring-seat wagon we ever had. So Holmes and I sat on that up front. No baggage was taken, as we had never known anything but to sleep in our shirt tails. And we planned to go one day and come back the next; so NOTICE OF DELINQUENT TAX SALES AAUW Chapter Met Saturday Miss Margaret Paysinger led a delightful program at the regular meeting of the Newberry Branch of the American Association of University Women on November 15 at the home of Mrs. Furman Sterling. Miss Paysinger is chair man of the Arts Division. She and Mrs. Sterling gave in what was the need for baggage? We loaded the turkeys at dusk, ate breakfast before day, and were off as dawn began sparkling on the frost crystals that spewed from the muddy road. To keep warm we wrapped hot rocks in old burlap bags to rest our feet on, and the laprobe from the buggy did the rest. Irmo was about half way and a bit off the beaten path. Holmes had an idea; so we went by there. He got two packs of cigarettes (Piedmonts) and from there on I’m sure we showed signs of being a steam engine. I hadn’t had a chance at real cigarettes before, thought it look ed big, and so kept up a steady pulling all afternoon. My space is up. So we will have to finish this, next week.
