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.”

Mr. Satterwhite'used the

cheaper methods of obtaining a
large supply of>good seed for
planting large acreages. 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.

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.

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
