THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1963 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE jmm n BY ’Ih.&ld'ImM, From Emil N. Schmidt, Chica go, 111.: I remember when I was a pre-school boy in the early twen ties, in the poorer section of Chi cago, and a trip to the Randolph St. produce market on a wagon drawn by a dapple gray (all pur pose horse), was an experience I'll never forget. This horse seemed to take pride in hauling my uncle, my brother and myself to the market. The day before these excursions my brother and I would go to sleep earlier than usual, in order to get up at an ungodly hour: so that we could leave with my uncle at five A.M. Very few people were tip at this time, and it seemed such a shame too, because we wanted to be seen by all. After all it wasn’t just anybody that could induce their favorite uncle to take them to paradise once a week. The trip was a fulfillment of one of life’s great desires. A small boy’s dream woPid. The biggest thrill came when we got there. The wholesalers greeting one and all with the red carpet treatment, especially the kids. We were in vited into all kinds of business houses where we were given sam ples of sausages, candies, gum. novelties of all kinds and, show me a kid in those days who wouldn’t be proud to get a wa*'^- fob even if he never owne' 4 wa‘ch.

Chap man hath made suit to me to grant her Letters of Administration of the Estate and effects of Bennie C. Chapman, deceased. These are, therefore, to cite and admonish all and singular the Kindred and Creditors of the said Bennie C. Chapman deceased, that they be and appear before me, in the Court of Probate, to be held at Newberry, S. C., on 20th Decem ber 1963 next, after publication hereof, at 10 o’clock in the fore noon, to show cause, if any they have, why the said Administration should not be granted. Given under my hand this 7th day of December, Anno Domini, FRANK H. WARD, Probate Judge Newberry County THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN Where do we go from here? That is the question. Recently I drove quite a bit over our State and while driving let my thoughts play at random. So now. I thought of the vast areas of the United States which wait for settlers whose labors will bring to reality the vast possibilities of enormous areas. How shall we bring to pass the great potential of undeveloped re sources ? Because I cannot prescribe the remedy does not mean the need is not great. Ride to California taking note of ail the territory, beginning with the possibilities of South Carolina. You may recall my prediction that some day explorers will find incalculable wealth in our sandy stretches from Cheraw to Augus ta, running thru the counties of York, Lancaster, Kershaw, Rich land, Sumter, Lexington and Ai ken. . And we have a potential in our large areas of trwamps. Sometime ago a very acute and conservative business man nego tiated for the purchase of some swamp areas I have been holding for the dawn of a new area # Who can tell? In the marvellous economy of Jehovah there is no waste, no useless areas. Swamps, sandy stretches and marsh lands will some day be made to serve the needs of a new day, as our understanding grows. BOWERS IS MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN JERSEY CLUB Harold Bowers, Route 4, has been named a member of The American Jersey Cattle club. He is a breeder of registered Jersey cattle. Bowers’ application for membership in the national organ ization of the Jersey breed was approved at the last meeting of the club’s board of directors. The action gives him a voice in the management and conduct of the affairs of the breed and also en titles him to register his purebred Jerseys at special membership rates. The American Jersey Cattle club is America’s oldest dairy breed registry organization. It was organized in 1868 to keep pedigree records of Jersey cattle and to improve and promote the Jersey breed. The national head quarters is located in Columbus, Ohio. We have a product for vinyl and other floors known as Seal Gloss acrylic finish. It’s terrific.

An article recently in the New York Chamber of Commerce Bul letin recited some facts which in dicate the colossal interests con centrated in New York. “New York City is the largest community in the nation, with a 1960 census pouplation of 7,781,- 984. The New York Northeat m New Jersey Standard Consolkh. ;ed Metropolitan Area has the largest population of any metropolitan area in the United States, with a census enumeration of 14,759,429 in 1960. In terms of aggregate income its population, the area described, leads the nation with a total in come of $35.6 billion in 1959.” And certainly is much greater now. “The labor force of the Area is the largest in the United States and total employment aggregated 5,997,981 in I960.- The Area leads the country in the numbers of people employed in 1960 in all major employment categories: construction 277,421; manufacturing 1,741,609; transpor tation, communications and public utilities 495,858; wholesale and retail trade 1,099,334; finance, in surance and real estate 428,122; educational services 245,852; and public administration 269,502. The Area is the Nation’s most important manufacturing center, with 50,415 establishments in 1958 and with a value added by manu facture of $15.3 billion in that year. It is the nation’s largest retail trade area with total sales in 1958 of $18.5 billion. It also leads the nation in the number of whole sale trade establishments — 38, 022 in 1958—with total sales of $54 # 7 billion. In selected services it ranks first in the nation with 96,000 es tablishments in 1958, and total re ceipts of $6.5 billion. The New York Area is the national and world leader in bank ing and finance. Bank deposits in 1960 totaled $58 billion — more than four times the total shown by the second-ranking banking center. It serves as the nation’s money market, being the center of finance and investment. The two major stock exchanges are located in New York City; and it is the headquarters of the leading in vestment banking and security firms. New York also leads as the na tion’s principal terminal for for eign commerce by air 41.7 per cent of the nation’s total foreign commerce by air was handled in the New York Customs District, and the value of the im ports and exports handled through New York was 70 per cent of the total value of the country’s air borne foreign commerce. Of the 500 largest industrial corporations in the United States as reported by Fortune Magazine in August 1962, 135 maintain of fices in New York City, and an additional 24 have headquarters in other parts of the New York Met ropolitan Area. Of the remaining 341 companies, 270 maintain ma jor plants or offices in the New York Metropolitan Area.” “Six of the ten largest commer cial banks in the United States are located in New York City with to tal deposits in 1961 of $34.6 bil lion. Including these, nine of the top fifty commercial banks in the nation are located in the New York Metropolitan Area. In ad dition, eleven other of the nation’s largest fifty commercial banks which are domiciled elsewhere maintain offices in New York city. The New York Metropolitan area is the headquarters for nine of the nation’s leading life insurance companies, including five of the top ten; and 23 other of the fifty largest life insurance companies maintain offices in New York. Nine of the top fifty transpor tation companies have their head quarters in New York city; and all of the remaining 41 have offi ces in the New York area. Seventy-two of the one hundred largest foreign industrial compan ies have offices in New York. sufferer is usually brighter and better educated than the average, with more than usual drive. But he also tends to be a perfectionist and a worrier who cannot delegate responsibility. Many headaches have purely physical causes. One patient was found to be so allergic to penicil lin that he got a terrible headache merely from eating a turkey that had been given the drug. Authori ties have counted more than 200 possible causes of headache. Am ong them, side effects from colds, mumps, hypertension and, of course, emotion.” ! “Napoleon Bonaparte shapes our j lives in more ways than people ‘ realize and in amusingly diverse ways, from beets to cognac and from codes tc cans. In 1795, in the midst of a mas sive European war, Napoleon of fered a 12,000 franc award to the first patriot who could devise a method of keeping food fresh un til it reached the front. Nicolar Appert came up with the solution: food boiled in containers which were sealed with corks and waxed around the edges. Ciola, the tin can. Thirteen of our United States, in whole or in part, owe their ex istence to Napoleon’s decision in 1803 to sell all French holdings, 530,000,000 acres between the Rockies and the Mississippi, to the United States for a mere 15 mill ion dollars. Napoleon’s name still graces a many-layered, cream filled French pastry. Courvoisier cognac bears the legend ‘The Brandy of Napol eon.’ Napoleon founded the Legion of Honor. Perhaps Napoleon’s best -known contribution to mankind was his Code Napoleon—a code of laws. The Napoleonic Code became a model for law reformers through out the world and is the ancestor of many laws that govern us to this very day.” It is the basic law of Louisiana “Just what is a headache, any way ? Most people haven't the foggiest idea of what goes on ‘up stairs’ to produce pain. Headaches result, according to the most com monly accepted theory, from the swelling, pressure on or pulling of the blood vessels that feed the brain cells. Nerve impulses from many different parts of the body, including the face, scalp, and neck, can reach the brain’s blood vessels to cause these reactions. Indeed, one of the commonest types of headaches is literally a pain in the neck! When the vic tim tenses neck or shoulder mus cles, usually in response to emo tional stress, pain develops and radiates upward to the scalp and skull to produce the dull ache of the ‘tension headache.” Emotions play an important part in the common migraine head ache. Doctors know that the ten- During ] dency of develop migraine head- the first three quarters of 1962, aches is inherited.

And, almost invariably, when we have the courage to admit oar own errors, we are fair-minded enough to concede that the other fellow has a right to be wrong once in a while, too. FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D. Smith Has Boy Changed Much In Eighteen Months? ^ LA- State PB-ie THE WEEK’S LETTER: “It has been a year and a half since I have gone with Bill. We didn’t stop “going together” because we didn’t care for each other—we like each other a lot—but because I wasn’t allowed to go out with him in his car. I am 17 now and he has been going with another girl. I have heard directly and in directly, that he still likes me and wants to take me out. He means very much to me and is among my dearest and most frequent thoughts. I have been told by our school counselor that I am too sensitive and serious-minded. Per haps this is true, but in this day and age a girl has to have serious ness in order to stand cm her own two feet. Frequently a tear is shed and often serious words are spok en, but I do miss him so much and think about the fun we had to gether in the past. I have gone with other boys, but I still feel I like Bill very much—more than I expected. Will he ask me out again? Should I accept? Will things be different? Will he have changed, or anything?” OUR REPLY; We change from day to day, all of us. We grow old er—and should get smarter, al though this doesn’t always hold true. The teenager should change more in a year and one-half than an adult, naturally. But, it is difficult to define ex actly what “change” means. Bill should be older and wiser, still “fun” to be with, if the right “changes” have taken place. If Bin stUl likes you, he will probably ask you to go out. If you still like him, you wifi probably accept. If he likes you enough, he may be old enough to realize that sitting on a porch swing with the “right” girl is far better than riding around in a car with just another girl. 0 7*« hmw • UenJkffe problem yea want to dlsonoo, or an oboorTatlon to make, address your letter to FOK AND ABOUT TEENAGKRB. national weekly newspaper SERVICE, FRANKFORT, KY. ARE YOU LISTENING? BY EARL WILSON “Therefore we ought tc give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.”— Hebrews 2;1. The language of this text is typical language of a person fam iliar with the seas or great bodies of water. As he speaks of things slipping the language he uses re fers to a ship that has dropped an chor but the anchor failed to hold. The ship is slipping its mooring and will possibly endanger the crew or other ships that may be in the vicinity. The study of this verse has been brought about by a question that many people are asking today. “How did we ever get in this shape in the first place?” Such a question infers that we have drift ed from a former position. It im plies that the anchor on which our nation has depended has failed to hold and that we are drifting into a position that will endanger every citizen, every state, every com munity, and every neighbor of the United States. With this I am in full accord. I believe that we have cut our engines and now we are being driven off our course by the winds of evil. Drifting is an unconscious pro cess that requires no effort at all. This is where the danger lies. When we become lax in our vigil ance we begin to drift in our mor als, and it is done so silently that we are not even aware of its hap pening. Unconsciously mosto citizens of the United States are drifting from the practice of prayer and Bible study, drifting from the car rying out of their religious duties, drifting away from church attend ance and loyalty, and most would deny it if they were confronted with the facts. Not only is drifting unconscious but it is also ceaseless. The very moment that progress stops drift ing starts. When a fisherman rests on his oars he begins drifting downstream. Negligence means ruin. Neglect your car, your tools, or anything else of value and you will see them ruin. Doing nothing also shuts a man out from the presence of God. “How did we get this way in the first place?” We shut off the source of our power when we stopped giving God first place in our nation, and we have been drifting downstream ever since. The only anchor that will hold us from drifting any further is the anchor of daily prayer, Bible study, and loyalty to the Heavenly Father. Are you listening ?
