Poor Spider Is
Misunderstood,
Says Nettles
CLEMSON. — Poor misunder
stood spider!
Spiders work harder for the
benefit of mankind than a multi
tude of other creatures, yet the
saintly little animals are hated
and feared to an unreasonable ex
tent by people.
Coming to the spider’s defense,
W. C. Nettles, Clfcmson extension
leader of entomology work, cites
the case for the spider down
through the years:
Spiders were used in primitive
medicine to cure various ills, and
the belief was prevalent in Geo.
Washington’s day that they could
charm away diseases of many
types. Respected writers since have
described the usefulness of their
web in reducing fevers, and
(housewives, take note) spiders
were welcomed in the home.
Their continuous was against
mosquitoes, flies, and other di
sease-carrying insects is still rec
ognized as making a contribution
to health— and may account for
some of the old beliefs in their di
sease-curing qualities.
“Spiders are naturally shy little
creatures. Only the black widow
and a recently reported brown
spider are capable of biting with
a dangerous effect. While all spe
cies have biting mouth parts arid
secrete venom of some sort, both
t!.s bite and the venom are pro
portioned for other insects, and
not man,” Nettles maintained.
“Out of 1,300 reported black
widow bites from the period 1726
to 1943, fifty-five fatalities have
occurred—which may be of some
reassurance in case you’re unduly
frightened by them. Medical aid
should be sought in case of a black
widow bite,, and all bites should

be watched for secondary infec
tions,” he said.
“If you still are not fully re
assured, and just won’t live in
the same house with spiders, you
might contact one of the profes
sional pest control operators in
your community. With dieldrin, or
other insecticide sprays, you’ll be
able to cope with the situation,”
Nettles stated. Other controls are
outlined in Clemson Bulletin 101,
available from county agents.
Army Offers
Unit Assignment
Today’s Army is reaching into
the frontiers of the sky to de
velop a mobile fighting force
equaled by none, The United States
Army Airborne. Keynoted by
speed, range, and mobility, the
Airborne is an elite group of ad
venturous young men thoroughly
trained in both nuclear and non
nuclear warfare tactics — ready
and willing to meet any challenge.
The instant readiness of the
Airborne to get into action swiftly
is daily proving to be more and
more important in the Army’s
overall stategy, and the Airborne
troops assigned to the Strategic
Army Corps are prepared to move
on a moments notice.
Now, under the Army’s new
“Choose- it- Yourelf” Vocational
Training System, qualified per
sonnel are being enlisted for as
signment to Airborne units and
guaranteed the vocational train
ing of their choice. Both choice of
training and the Airborne option
are guaranteed before enlistment.
In addition to the “Choose-it-
Yourelf” system, the Army is now
offering the Strategic Army Corps
option which offers a choice of
Airborne unit assignment to quali
fied volunteers. Under this op
tion, assignment to the division
of choice, either the 101st Air
borne Division stationed at Fort
Campbell, Kentucky, or the 82nd
Airborne Division stationed at
Fort Bragg, North Carolina, is
offered after completion of Air
borne training. The Strategic
Army Corps (STRAC) is the gov
ernment’s mobile troubleshooter
that is designed to confine and
snuff out any localized conflict
before it can spread into general
war.
Information concerning either
of these options may be obtained
by contacting Sergeant Thompson
at the local Selective Service
Board on Monday.

Kendall Booth
Is Popular
At State Fair
COLUMBIA.—A Kendall Co.
booth at the State Fair here
showed- South Carolinians the
products Kendall produces id the
Palmetto State and a glimpse of
how they are made.
Kendall was the only basic tex
tile firm maintaining a booth at
the State Fair this year, although
other firms participated in a State
Department of Labor display.
The Kendall booth was manned
by Kendall employees from ’Beth-
une, who explained various phases
of the manufacturing process to
visitors and discussed various tex
tile products.
Reaction to the public generally
was one of surprise, according to
employees at the booth. They skid
many visitors admitted that they
did not know what products were
being turned out at South Carolina
textile plants.
Included in the display were
cotton samples in various phases
of manufacture and pictures show*
ing the machines which converted
the fibers through lap, sliver, rov
ing stages into yam.
Colorful drip dry fabrics were
draped over a center display; Baby
products ranging from diapers to
sleepers to lap pads were display
ed on the opposite side of the
booth. The produce side also in
cluded elastic products.
Kendall operates eight plants in
South Carolina, two each at Pel-
zer and Newberry and one each at
Bethune, Camden, Edgefield and
Seneca.
The plants Represent an invest
ment of $17 million, employ 3,660
and put $12.6 million into South
Carolina’s economy in wages and
salaries alone.
The Kendall employees maiming
the booth were armed with facts
about their company and the part
it plays in South Carolina’s eco
nomy.
An electronic counter was plac
ed in the two entrances in order to
keep tab on how many visitors are
attracted to the display.
