THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1963 THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE ARE YOU LISTENING? BY EARL WILSON “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12. It has not been so very long ago since we had to carry a candle or a lamp with us to light our way if we wanted to go into a different part of the house. Just a short while ago much of our nation was atill locked in darkness just as quickly as the sun went down. But now it is so different, and we feel that we cannot even walk through the house without turning on a light in every room. The truth is that we have become ac customed to walking in the light and we no longer want to walk in the darkness. In our text we listen as Jesus tells those who are in his presence that they will never have to walk in darkness again if they will but put their trust in him. Trusting •others is not foreign to us. The Army teaches that the best offi cer is not the man who sends his men into battle or on a long hike, but the best officer is the one who leads his men into the place of danger. He becomes a light for them and they follow him wherev er he leads them. The best parent is not the one who tells his child ren what they should do, but the one who lives a life before his children to set the example for them. He becomes a light before them to show them the way. At times we become physically ill and must depend upon the know ledge of our doctors to lead us back to health again. If we heed their advice, take their, prescribed medicine, and abide by their wishes they soon become a light that leads us back to normal health. The police officer is not hired by the city to scare us into doing what is right or obeying the laws, but rather he is supposed to be a light that teaches us the value of obeying the law. It is not enough for a school teacher to assign work for the class to do, but he must become the light to the minds of those students so that they will understand what it is they are doing. The responsibility of every Christian is to so pattern his life after Christ that he will become the light that leads others to the knowledge of the saving grace of the Lord. Christians, are you listening? I*n m /m \\m A new “ala carte” sink allows the homemaker to “custom de sign” her sink to suit her habits.

Parr’s Jersey herd at Headsprings Farm, which produc ed the highest average production record of a herd its size in the United States for the past two years, has received additional achievement. Headsprings Blonde Ban has re cently broken a national record for a senior two years old cow by producing 15,136 pounds of milk and 842 pounds of butterfat. The record was begun at two years and ten months and lasted for 305 days. She was milked twice a day on DHIR test. The history of Headspring Dairy’s outstanding herd dates back to 1928 when Parr’s father, Callie Boyd Parr, purchased four 4-H heifers, one for each of his four sons. The foundation herd was begun from those four heif ers. One of the heifers, High Stead Queen’s ancestors were just two generations back from the Isle of Jersey. Incidentally this was the 4-H heifer claimed by Parr’s son, Henry as his heifer. This heifer was grand champion at the South Carolina State Fair. This was the first time a 4-H Club Member had ever won this award. Three fourths of Headspring’s Herd today are descendants of this 4-H Club heifer, High Stead Queen. Parr, now sole owner of Head- spring Farms, states that bulls were formerly bought from lead ing female cows in other herds, but since 1945 he has bred most of his own bulls. Most noteworthy of these bulls is Headspring Mary Blonde which he sold recently. The bull was purchased jointly by the Central Ohio Breeding Association and Kentucky Artificial Breeding Association. The record of this bull’s ten tested daughters shows that they averaged 12,035 pounds of milk and 623 pounds of fat. The ten classified daughters had an aver age of 87.3. This is the highest record for production and type for any bull ever proved in the South. The oldest daughter, Head- spring Blonde Ban, is the cow mentioned in this article which broke the national record in the United States for a herd of 70 cows or more. Over the years Headspring Farm has supplied some of the leading bull studs, five p.oven sires, which possessed excellent qualities to transmit for both high production and desirable type. Parr said he sampled the bulls while young to see what character istics they transmit in order to select the ones that would do the best job. It is essential, he says, to have a good foundation herd if one expects a good milk and but terfat production. “When a bull is sold,” Parr said, “we do not deprive ourselves of his services. It has been a policy to receive enough vials of frozen semen to last approximately 15 years in our breeding program. This is accomplished through long storage at 320 degrees Fahrenheit in liquid nitrogen refrigerators.” Headspring’s 1962 herd produc- Nichols and Patsy P. Nichols, .147 acres, $5. James W.

For the past seven years at the annual South Carolina Jersey Cat tle State meeting the Headspring herd has received the awards for milk and for butterfat production; also for high life time individual cow for milk and butterfat pro duction. This herd has won numerous awards at both the Newberry County; other county fairs and the South Carolina State Fair. Parr’s father, Callie Boyd Parr, recognized as one of the pioneers in the dairy industry is now re tired and lives nearby. He is de voting his time to growing roses as a personal hobby.

According to reports by the National Safety Council there were 2300 deaths due to firearms accidents in 1961. The report showed that accidental discharges of guns around the home took more lives than hunting accidents. The highest death rate is for boys and young men in the 15-24 age group. These home firearms accidents occur mainly while playing with guns, examining or demonstrating guns, cleaning or repairing wea pons and simply picking up or set ting them down. Here are some suggestions for those interested in avoiding a tragedy with firearms: Treat every gun as if it were loaded. Always make sure muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. Be sure gun is kept on safety at all times when loaded. In case of misfire, keep the gun pointed at target 20 seconds be fore opening. Never carry loaded guns in an automobile. Never climb a fence or enter or leave a boat with a loaded gun. Keep guns out of reach of all irresponsible persons, children or adults. And remember—an unloaded gun never really killed anyone. RATS! Would you keep animals that eat and spoil your grain, carry disease to your animals and fam ily, kill small animals and chick ens, but don’t return you one penny? You’re doing just that if you allow rats on your farm. Just 50 rats can eat enough grain annually to feed a dairy cow for one year. One rat can eat about two-thirds as much as a hen. And they waste and con taminate many times more food than they eat. They maim and kill chickens and small animals. It’s not un common for farmers to find hun dreds of chickens killed during the night by these vicious pests. Not as spectacular but probably more costly are the losses from disease. Poultry health specialists say that rats are an important means of spreading disease and urge an all-out war against them. Rats destroy property by gnaw ing, burrowing, and nesting. Grain bags, paper cartons and wood con tainers are damaged worst, but even concrete, brick, metal and wood are gnawed. Rats start fires by chewing electric wire insula tion and ruin electrical appliances by short-circuiting open switches. And they use inflammable mater ials to build nests. Rat burrows seriously weaken foundations and bottom floors. Rats carry contagious abortion, distemper, mange, and rabies. And all told, over 35 known rat- borne diseases threaten animals and people. Gnawing and destroying prop erty . . . biting and killing and spreading disease . . . constant ly eating your produce and food . . . you can't afford to keep such an animal on your farm!
