AN MG By Shirley Sargent T AD WARNER stood hand in hand with Midge staring ’through the {date glass window at the one sports car Elkton boasted. A fast, sleek little MG that he dreamed was his own. Midge pulled away impatiently. 4, If you loved me as much as you <Ud that Ferrari, you'd find a job.” Her challenge recalled him to bis troubles. “MG,” he corrected. “Fiats are my favorites, but it’s .you I love. Midge. Who ever beard of a car with blueberry «yes or wheat-colored hair? And your lines would defeat any de signer.” “Oh, Tad!” Midge cried, but he could tell she liked it. “If only you’d take that job in the depart- ment store." “I’d hate it even though I would be making money.” But, when Tad held Midge in his arms, he knew there could be no more de lay. A trick knee kept him out of ’the Army, but only his pride kept him from the department store job. Money would mean mar riage and that’s what they both ■wanted. Tad walked into the barn he’d converted into a home half an hour later, barely noticing his old ja lopy. Ready for bed, he strode restlessly, thinking of his two pas sions—Midge and sports cars. He had magazines devoted to pic tures of every known make piled high on the floor and framed pic- -tures of a Jaguar, Simca, Fiat and an MG Promptly at nine the following morning, Tad entered the store— the hobby shop not the department store—in search of a job. His heart sank as he glanced at the dark interior jammed with box es and models in wildest disorder. “Good morning,’’ he spoke to the thin, white-haired man who appeared at the sound of a bell. “I know quite a bit about model cars and . . . well . . . I’m look ing for a job.” The old man laughed soundless ly. “Here?” Definitely.” Tad sounded far more assured than he felt. The old man laughed again, but his eyes measured Tad. “Give me five reasons why you'd be valu able to the shop.” Tad looked around, thoughts racing. *T'd clean this place out so people could walk through with out hitting things, set a model train up on a table and keep it running when customers were in the shop, make those windows so attractive boys would come on in and I'd have a certain time each week to help kids with their mod el trains and cars.” “That’s only four.” “Well, if I were running it, I’d put in a magazine rack and sub- cribe to the better hobby maga zines like the sports car ones. Then I’d let anybody look at them, but I’d be willing to take sub scriptions too. “That’s six,” the old man stuck out an arthritic hand. “My name’s John Thotnel. You think your ideas would bring more money into the shop?” “Yes,” Tad held his breath. “All right, prove it in a month and I’ll put you on a starting sal ary of $200 plus commissions on electric trains and tools. But you’ve got to handle the work. “I’ll try and keep you busyj Mr. Thotnel,” Tad promised. “Okay if I go right to work?” By the time Tad met Midge that night he was bone-tired but con fident. “It’s the future I like,” he explained. “If I bring customers into the shop—and I will—I’m will ing to bet Thotnel will let me buy in later.” “There won’t be any MG on that kind of money,” Midge warned. “When I’m running the shop I’ll be paying for little Midges and Tads, not a sports car,” Tad laughed, finding confirmation in Midge’s blueberry eyes.

For example, Miss Margaret Martin, Clemson extension food production specialist, says small decorative trees can be made out of florist wire and tape that may be used for place cards or table decorations. And simple but pretty decorations may be made with green foliage or pine cones. To make a pine cone tree, here’s all you do. Select a pine cone of suitable shape and size. Give it a coat of liquid snow. Then twist a stout wire around the base of the scales and stick it firmly into a small glass pot filled with soft, almost dry, plaster of paris. In a few minutes it will be firm. Or you can brush rubber cement at random over the cone and sprinkle with green glitter. Wind a string of red Christmas beads around the cone and add tiny green bub bles here and there. And there’s a neat attractive small Chistmas tree. Other homemade decorations that are easily made at home may even be made by the children who like to cut, paste, and color. Miss Martin suggests these simple dec orations: A red apple placed on a spray of evergreen may be used as a candle holder for table or mantel. Small paper cups of various sizes may be painted with silver paint .and strung bn red ribbon to represent bells. A “kissing ball” can be made by covering two embroidery hoops with red and white ribbon. These are fastened one within the other at right angles to form a ball. A sprig of mistletoe is hung inside with a bow at the top. Christmas stockings for the kid dies may be made of almost any type of gay material—flannel, oil cloth, or felt. Make a glitter ball by sticking round toothpicks into a cork and then painting with liquid glue and sprinkling with glitter. Hospital Patients Mrs. Nellie Andrews, Whitmire.

Civil Service Commis sion has announced an examina tion for student-trainee, offering employment opportunities to col lege students and high school graduates. This examination is a part of a national plan to inter est students in workstudy train ing programs which are offered by many federal agencies. Most of the work-study programs will provide training in the fields of science and engineering. Trainees are paid salaries at the rate of from $3,255 to $3,755 a year according to the level of scholastic training. Students may work during sum mer vacation and attend school Army Bands Need Musicians Sergeant Thomas J. Corbitt, the United States Army Recruiter in Newberry, said today that quali fied musicians may now enlist in the Army to play with a band on a post of their choice in the Third United States Army area. The local recruiter said that the Department of the Army has made special provisions in this area in order for musicians to serve with an Army band near their home. At the present there are band vacancies at Fort McClellan, Ala bama, and at Fort Rucker, Ala. Four Georgia Army posts have vacancies in their bands. They are Fort Benning, Fort Gordon, Fort McPherson, and Fort Stewart. Fort Bragg, in North Carolina, has band openings as does Fort Jack- son. In addition, the recruiter said, vacancies exist at Fort Campbell, Ky. The following instruments are included in the vacancy lists: cor net, trumpet, ' baritone,. French horn, trombone, tuba, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, pia no and drums. Sergeant Corbitt emphasized that the new band program is open to former servicemen as well as youths with no prior military service. He said, however, that only male musicians are eligible at this time. Musicians interested in a mili tary band career are urged to contact Sergeant Corbitt for full particulars on the Third Army band program. He is located at the Selective Service Board in the Court House. during the regular academic year, may alternate periods of employ ment and school attendance or may be employed part time while at tending school. After completion of work re quired for a bachelor’s degree, trainees may be promoted to full time professional and technical positions at the GS-5 level, paying $4,040. However, those with out standing collegiate records as well as those with at least six months trainee experience may be appointed at the GS-7 level paying $4,980 a year. Persons interested in these po sitions may get application forms or information as to where such forms are available at any Post Office (except the Atlanta, Ga. Post Office) or the Fifith U. S. Civil Service Regional Office, Peachtree - Baker Building, 275 Peachtree St., N. E., Atlanta 3, Ga. County Agents Have Holidays t(By COUNTY AGENTS) Some Dairymen Feeding Antibiotics There seems to be a lot of int erest among our Newberry Coun ty dairymen in the feeding of cer tain antibiotics to the dairy herd. So far, Aureomycin is the only antibiotic approved by the Food and Drug Administration for feed ing to Dairy Cattle. We are not yet in a position to definitely recommend the use of this material nor can we advise against its use in feeding dairy cattle. It is a new practice and our experiment stations have not yet had sufficient time to test it thor oughly. One of the main concerns of most dairy producers is that pro longed use of the drug may cause certain diseases to build up a re- sistence to it. Experiment station reports indicate that we need have no fear on this point. We hear varying reports of re sults obtained by dairymen in us ing this material. Some feel it has helped improve the general health of their herd. Others have not been able to see any benefit, and a few have had undesirable results in getting started feeding it. The major claim made by the manufacturer is that continued feeding of the product controls certain diseases as they start, thereby improving the general health of the animals. This seems logical and certainly this could be of benefit to many of our dairy men particularly during the win ter months. We suggest, however, that in starting to feed the material at this time of year, to begin feed ing at one-fourth to one-third the recommended dosage and grad ually build up to the recommended dosage. In this way, there is less chance of cows going off feed and possibly other troubles that could cause a big loss in production for several weeks. The manufacturer also claims benefits in feeding aureomycin to calves and to beef cattle. Use Extra Feed in Cold Weather Extra feed will mean extra prof its during this cold spell we’re now having. Both dairy and beef cattle need extra feed in such weather for body maintenance. If this ex tra feed is not provided, dairy cattle will drop off in milk pro duction. i Grass makes no growth in this kind of weather. With no grazing, this also means additional grain and roughage must be fed to main tain production. Grain feeding or concentrates should be increased along with increased feeding of hay and sil age. If poor quality hay must be fed, the addition of blackstrap molasses to the ration will enable the cattle to better utilize this low quality roughage.

The main point to remember in this kind of weather is to keep the waterers thawed out so the layers have plenty of fresh water. Many of our growers now use el ectric warmers that do a mighty good job in this kind of weather. Keeping the litter dry, and keep ing plenty of water and feed be fore the hens at all times are the most important things to do to keep up production at this time of year. We hope all egg producers are keeping adequate records that will help determine if your flock is producing profitably. It now looks like lower prices will pre vail during the next few months. If you are not keeping adequate records, we invite you to enroll in our Egg, Feed, and Mortality Rec ord Program that provides this needed information at no cost to you. Both dairy and beef cattle should be treated now to control lice and grubs. . Rotenone is the only material approved for use' on dairy cattle. It may be used as a dust or spray. For a spray, use 7 1-2 pounds of 5% rotenone powder per 100 gal lons water. Use high pressure, up to 400 pounds is desirable. A 1.5 to 5% rotenone dust may be ap plied if a dust is preferred. For better grub control, first remove the scabs with a stiff brush be fore treating. Rotenone is still the number one insecticide for use on beef cattle to control grubs. For lice control on beef cattle, in addition to rote none, Malathion, Methoxychlor, or DDT may also be used. Treat now and at monthly intervals until spring. Holidays at our Office Both the County Agents’ and Home Agents’ offices will be closed December 24, 25, 26 and 27. This is the only time of year that our offices are closed for longer than one day. We sincerely hope that all Newberry County farm folks will enjoy a happy Christ mas Season and will find cause to reflect on the many blessings re ceived during this year. The Artificial Breeding Asso ciation office will be closed on Christmas Day only. \ However, Tom Riser will be able to take calls on the other dates mentioned above only from 8:30 to 10 a. m. Call 994 at this time on these dates for service. Leave calls at Borden Company on Sunday.
