PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1061 FARMS & FOLKS— By L. C. HAMILTON Is home really a haven ? In many ways it is, I’m sure. But the home is also filled with poten tial booby-traps that lay in wait lor the innocent and unwary, Mrs. Ellie Herrick, Clemson ex tension specialist, conducts a state wide safety program to, pojpt out some of the dangers lurking a- ronnd man’s kingdom—his own home. "Last year in the United States,” Mrs. Herrick says, “more than a million children were killed or seriously injured by accidents. Accidents in the home kill more children than any single disease. In fact, accidents kill more child- dren in the 1-14 age group than the six most important diseases combined! "That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t continue to watch out for and guard against infectious diseases such as measles, scarlet fever, and typhoid. We should. But it is time for us to recognize where the greatest danger lies.” Young children, born with an in satiable desire to learn and experi ment, fall prey to poisons, burns, and falls. While infectious diseases are on the decrease, the toll from home mishaps shows an alarming increase. We simply should do something about it, Mrs. Herri<dt thinks. In the first place, it’s bad business to leave children unattended in the txrase while hanging out the clothes or having a cup of tea next door. Yet, a constant watch over young children is not the whole answer. "The home can be made a safer place by developing a safety con scious attitude. A bottle of aspirin left carelessly within reach of children can be a death potion. Kerosene poured into a pop bottle, and left within reach of children, household cleaners left under the eink, or a pot handle protruding over the stove are other potential booby-traps. "If we remember that poisons, bums, falls, and cuts are respon sible for most of the serious mis haps and then make safe or remove these hazards we will have come a long way in preventing acci- dents.” The gri m statistics on child ac cidents point put one of the prob- iems of today’s parents. How do we achieve a balance between per- xnittipg children to exercise initia tive on one hand, and keeping them safe until they are able to make wise judgments on the other? "Early training in safety is im portant. When a young child is taught to use a tool pr do a job— it is necessary to point out the hasacds and.to clearly demonstrate the correct w^y. "H^ children, demonstrate ability to exercise good judgment—we can ipore safely ‘loosen the reins’ and, aljow them more privileges. cannot measure this point in the child’s life by his age alone. Children are too variable for that. "In the final analysis, wise par ental guidance and supervision is the best insurance against acci dents in the home.” This year's small grain har vest is well under way through out the state. I don’t have reports from the entire state, but in Newberry county this week County Agent A. F. Busby told me of "one of the best crops we’ve ever har vested here.” We stopped by to see C. M. Satterwhite^of the tHash . River community. Vitterwhite’s Looking A. head v ...by Dr. George S.

By this method, the grower buys a few bushels of certified seed of a recommended variety from the breeder. He plants these on a "seed patch” on which he pro duces enough seed to plant the entire crop the following year. There seems to be a growing interest in barley production. Mr. Satterwhite had already har vested 4,300 bushels from his 65 acres of Colonial 2 variety. My 4-year old son who likes to eat was excited about my trip to Newberry this woek. "Mama,” he said, "will Papa bring back some new-berries ?” This week a group of South Carolinians led by Governor Ernest Rollings and Clemson’s R. C. Ed wards are looking at agriculture on the other side of the continent. The golden state of California, long in the forefront of agricultur al progress, will be under the scru tiny of agricultural leaders from this state. Cooperative facilities for mark eting farm products, growing cot ton, grapes, truck crops, and live stock—and automation — will be some of the subjects seen and stu died. The tour is sponsored by the Wachovia Bank and Trust Com pany in cooperation with Clemson College. The object of the tour is to help farmers in this state keep abreast of developments elsewhere. "Chemical weed control for my cotton crop cost me two dollars an acre this year. Hoeing would have cost twenty dollars.” J. Quay Farmer, Pisgah com munity in Florence county, gave me that appraisal of pre-emerg ence chemical weed control this spring. I noted that he had sume of the prettiest, cleanest cotton I’d seen anywhere. . Beware of fly-by-night painters! They come equipped with pick up, spray guns, and ladder. With them also comes a high-pressure sales "line.” But you employ them at your own peril. If you do, the chances are good that the paint will flake off with the first rain. "These people prey mostly on old people who are unable to do PENSACOLA BAND PLAYS FOR FREEDOM One day last summer, William J. Holston, director of the Pensa cola (Fla.) High School ban^, sub mitted an informal test to the 100 boys and girls in his splendid mu sical organization. The. test was designed to determine how much the students knew about Ameri can political history and philoso phy, the checks and balances in our political system, our freedom safeguards and the economic ad vantages which the American sys tem has produced in comparison to other systems. He was disturbed at what he found. He had heard and read the re port of the U. S. Army on what happened to the 7,000 American GI’s captured and held prisoners by the Chinese Communists in North Korea. The reports showed that many of the prisoners — a cross section of our American pop ulation — were "brain washed” in to cooperating with the Commun ists in projects detrimental to the United States and its fight against the Reds in Korea. He was espec ially shocked to read the Commun ists’ own evaluation of American prisoners in Korea. Weak In Patriotism "The American,” said the Com munists in a Red Army staff docu ment that came into the hands of the U. S. Army, "has weak loyal ty to his family, his country, his religion and his fellow soldiers. His concepts of right and wrong are lazy. There is little under standing of American political his tory and philosophy, of civil rights, freedoms, safeguards, checks and balances and how these things al legedly operate within his own system.” Bill Holsron found that the boys and girls in his band had little if any knowledge of the basic facts of our American system. He set out to do something about it. By the first football game in the fall, the Pensacola High School band had perfected a half-time show that made everybody in the stad ium stand up and cheer and want to throw their hats in the air as a salute to the United States of America. In the beautiful patriotic music, and the marching routines, Holston’s boys and girls expressed a moving reverence for the flag of their country and for the na- tonal anthem. And over the ’music, in many sequences, the narrator, speaking through the stadium loud speaker system, read the words of great American leaders —Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and others. Stirring Performance Many an eye in the stand glit tered in deep emotion as these the job themselves or to give the job proper oversight. You’ll come out much better by employing a local, reliable painter,” Frank H. Hedden, Clemson extension agri cultural engineer, advises. boys and girls saluted Old Glory with a feeling for their music that is seldom heard when a high school band plays patriotic airs. The stands echoed to tromping thous ands of feet as Holston’s young sters played the great American marching music. At the end, the ovation shook the stadium. And it made 100 youngsters and their band master very happy. Almost overnight the band be came famous. It began to receive invitations from all over the South. Among the highlights of its winter tour were performances at New Orleans’ famed Mardi Gras, at the Senior Bowl Football Game (on nation-wide television), at the in augural of Florida’s new governor, and finally, representing the state of Florida at the ceremonies in the nation's capital inaugurating the President of the United States* John F. Kennedy. Boys and Girls Benefit Bill Holston,* however, feels that the greatest benefit of his pa triotic program has come to his youngsters, the knowledge of Am erica and its heritage gained by the members of the band and the fact that they are carrying this knowledge to their fellow students. "The future of America,*’ he told us, "depends on the generation of students in our schools today. Our future will be only as strong as their concept of our ideology and our heritage makes it. Actually, moral and spiritual values are of first importance. Material things are secondary. Somehow we Am ericans seem to have gotten that order reversed and we need to cor rect it. In so dbing, the music of our country is an important fac tor. "It helps to arouse a sense of national pride, of obligation to carry the torch. Music, our nat ional music, in conjunction with the national colors and the words of men like Jefferson and Lincoln —as true today as when they were first spoken—all these affect and ‘educate’ not only the one hundred student* of the band but everyone else within hearing.” Bill Holston, a Virginian, a band director, a teacher, a citizen, has looked for and has found a wonder ful way to fulfill his responsibili ty for freedom. What he has doije should inspire many of us to do something, too.

Old Timer, Chicago, Illinois: Reading “I Remember” in a weekly newspaper from my old home town, I become more and more convinced that the old days were indeed "good old days.” I left the farm at an early age to make my way in the world and never made it back. But I re member, and fondly, so much of those happy times. I remember most of aU, I sup pose, the people ... a bearded grandfather, a small active grand mother ... a father stem, but with a glint of kindness in his eye and manner . . . and a mother, quiet and kind, ever about the work of raising several children and caring for a rambling, two- story frame house that was, in deed, a home. Often I wish that I could be again the boy with a hoe in the cornfield, walk down a dusty road, or wade barefoot along the creek. I can still recall the sounds and the smell of life on the farm and how well I remember the good times when folks got together, at a social, or to help a neighbor who was in need. We live in good times now. The automobile, airplane, wonderiul work savers for home and fa c- tory—all these things are good . . but so too were the old days, the good and happy days when life moved at a much slower pace and almost everyone had a moment of time to enjoy the “natural” wonders of this world we live in MAYER MEMORIAL LUTHERAN CHURCH Rev.
