The museum at the Andrew
Jackson State Park in Lancaster
County is housed in a building
erected to simulate a frontier
blockhouse and home. From the
Reid stone chimney and the
cedar-shingled roof to the log
aiding, the building presents
many characteristics of the era
id the seventh President, who
vras bom 100 yards away. The
upstairs bedrooms are furnished
in period pieces. Downstairs,
the museum contains a pioneer
kitchen, old looms, spinning
wheels, displays of relics and
documents of early America.
In South Carolina today, beer
is linked more and more to the
state’s economy and way of life.
Revenue from this beverage of
moderation plays an important
part in helping the state pro
vide funds for schools and other
worthy purposes. Counties and
cities also use their share of this
revenue for many worthwhile
causes. And the United States
Brewers Association continu
ously works for wholesome con
ditions wherever beer and ale
are served.
Beer Belongs ... enjoy it.

MEDITORIAL: The introduc
tion of insulin in 1921 and of anti
biotics around 1940 has saved the
diabetic patient from an early
death, from coma and infections,
and has increased his life expect
ancy three times above what it
was.
Since most diabetics now live
to a ripe old age, what problems
or complications, if any, occur?
What can diabetics do to ward off
trouble as they grow older? Do
severe diabetics have more com
plications than those with mild
diabetes? The answers to these
questions should be of great im
portance to people inflicted with
this disease.
Within a few limitations, dia
betics can live a lull and active
life. Their life expectancy is about
the same as non-diabetics. Most
moderate to severe diabetic pa
tients require insulin by injection
to maintain a normal level of
sugar in their blood. This is espe
cially true of the younger patients.
Some who have developed dia
betes late in life may control the j
ailment with diet alone or in con
junction with the newer diabetic
pills.
The most frequent diabetic com
plication which now occurs in
later life is a kidney ailment. It
seems quite likely that this com
plication, as well as others, such
as hardening of the arteries, neu
ritis, cataracts and skin infections,
are no more common in severe
diabetics than in mild cases.
Thus the patients who take
great pains to keep their urine
and blood sugar levels as normal
as they can by careful dieting,
adjustment of their insulin if
needed, planning their exercise at
the correct times and by having
moderate habits, will benefit
greatly in the long run.

CMTERlKG HIS I2TH SEASOM
IN THE N.& A...
By THOMAS COLLINS
OLD NEIGHBORHOOD ISNT WHAT IT USED TO BE
City had bought the house. Two
other families on the block had
sold out and moved. The people
who had moved in were too old
for Mama and I to cultivate into
good friends.
“Furthermore, a high-speed ex
pressway was going up two blocks
away and towering above the
bungalows like something from
Outer Space. A little independent
grocer who had been our conven
ience in the neighborhood for
years had succumbed to a new
shopping center that had opened
three miles south ...”
This sort of change is going on
in city neighborhoods all over. It
has been going on since World
War II, of course, but Mi’. Smith
thinks it is moving at a faster
clip now than at any time in his
tory. He’s probably right.
“For ten years or so we wit
nessed changes on our street. In
fact, by 1955 we had only three
neighbors who had lived there 15
years. Still the transition had been
slow. We absorbed the changes
and were still able to make friend
ships.”
Not any more.
‘‘The normal, friendly, familiar
neighborhood Americans have
come to treasure has turned into
one big hotel, with business gyp
sies coming and going every year
and with bulldozers everywhere.”
So the Smiths sold out and
moved to a retirement village in
Arizona, on the premise ‘‘that we
could get used to new faces and
new scenes there just as easy as
we could next door.”
‘T'HE changing pattern of resi-
1 dential areas in the North and
East is changing the pattern of
retirement
For a long time responsible ad
visers have been telling older
people to go slow in disposing of
their old homes and old neighbor
hoods and rushing off to sunshine
country. The advice still holds in
many cases because an environ
ment that is friendly and familiar
is a great consolation when the
job is done.
The trouble is that many old
neighborhoods, no matter how
long you’ve lived there, nowadays
tend to become less friendly and
less familiar all the time.
The experience of the Howard
J. Smiths points this up.
“We were Pennsylvanians,”
Mr. Smith says, “and when I re
tired in 1959 my wife and I were
sold on the idea of holding to the
old home place. We were in a
nice house in a nice city neigh
borhood and had been there for
31 years ...”
But they wanted their retire
ment fling, Mr. Smith explains,
and when the pension came they
leased their home for a year
(storing their furniture) and went
off to the Southwest. They spent
part of their year around Phoenix,
Ariz. and part in San Diego, Calif.
They were somewhat relieved
when the year was over and they
went back to Pennsylvania to re
claim their home.
“But we were shocked to find
it wasn’t the same place,” Mr.
Smith says. “One long-time neigh
bor had died and his widow had
moved away to live with iier chil- j ?
dren. A salesman from Kansas 11
