Area Tops In Army Recruits Newberry Army Recruiter Sgt. Clyde Byrd who serves this area, is a member of the top Army Re cruiting team in the nation, ac cording to figures compiled by the Continental Army Command. The Fort Jackson Army Re cruiting Main Station, headquar ters for the Lexington station, at tained an enlistment record of 120 per cent for the last six months of 1963 to lead all other main sta tions in the Third Army and the nation. There are 70 main stations in the United States. In doing so the Fort Jackson RMS won the Army Commander’s Trophy for the second consecutive time. A third win would give them permanent possession. Lt. Gen. Albert Watson II, 3rd Army Commanding General, pre sented the trophy to the Fort Jackson RMS Commander, Major Bruce R. Volk. Currently the main station has 21 recruiters assigned to 14 S. C. and 2 Georgia stations. Sergeant Byrd attributes the unit’s successful record to the Army’s three-year program, the written guaranteed options, and to the recruiter’s hard work.

Lanier Subject UDC Program The first meeting of Drayton Rutherford chapter after the holi days was in the home of Mrs. J. J. Chappell, with Mrs. Gordon Clarkson and Mrs. B. A. Buddin as associate hostesses. A social half-hour was enjoyed before the call to business and at this time Mrs. Chappell, with her associate hostess served ham biscuit, sandwiches, fruit cake and hot coffee. Mrs. Ralph Baker led in the Ritual, which includes sal utes to the three flags, United States, South Carolina and Con federate. The historical program followed, Mrs. Hunter Brown be ing the leader, with Sidney Lanier as the subject. She gave a sketch of Lanier’s life while living in the mountains of North Carolina and spoke entertainingly of this highly talented man whose superb accomplishments in music and poetry carried him to great spir itual heights, while hopeless ill ness and dire poverty seemed to urge him to greater effort to give as much pleasure possible with his marvelous mastery of his flute, and to leave one masterpiece after another of music and poetry to posterity. At the time of his death he left ten published vol umes, which had gained for him much public notice— a Novel, two of Essays, a book of Letters, 3 books for boys and two particul arly noteworthy works, one on English verse and the other on the Development of the Novel, in addition to many poems. His poem “Sunrise” published shortly after his death was soon acclaimed as the finest of Lanier’s writings. The praise given this particular poem was an incentive towards placing of his bust in the Hall of Fame in New York Uni versity, along with Washington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry and Stonewall Jackson as Southern representatives. Mrs. Brown clos ed with reading some passages from this celebrated poem. The Recording Secretary, Mrs. Louis Floyd, read the Minutes of the December meeting. Mrs. West- wood reported that the Calvin Crozier chapter has arranged for a Lee-Jackson Day program to be ARE YOU LISTENING? “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall, have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13. There are three words in our text for today that are well wor thy of our consideration. The first is the word “cover.” This verse paints a very vivid picture of a man who does his sin, and has no misgivings about that sin, but he does not want his neighbor to know about it. He knows that it is wrong when he does the deed but he does it just the same. When the pleasures of his sin are over he then attempts to cover it up so that no one will know. Read the next few words and see that God says that such a man as this can not expect to prosper. The second word we should con sider is the word “confess.” We are a people who hate to admit that we have ever made a mistake. I am reminded of a man v:ho used to say, “I may not always be right but I am never wrong.” This is the attitude of today. An even greater wrong today, in this re gard, is that when we get caught in our wrongs we try to put the blame on someone else. The ele ment of confession of sin is so much a part of the Bible as God, and we are taught that without confession there is no salvation. The third word is a result of the second. When a man confesses his sins he is then to “forsake” them. This does not mean for a few hours, a week, or even a year. It means that we are to put that sin completely out of our lives and do it no more. This is the point of failure, and returns us to our first word again. Instead of for saking our sin we merely cover it up, thinking that we have got ten away with it, but the Bible says “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Our sin may be that we do not believe this truth. Finally, we should note another word which offers a great prom ise. Man today feels justice is the greatest foundation stone of our world, ‘ and justice is necessary, but .God promises the man who will confess and forsake his sins that he will receive mercy. The man who receives the justice of God is dead, while the man who receives the mercy of God will never die. Are you listening?

This being the regular time for paying dues, Mrs. Louis McCul lough, treasurer, was very pleased with the response of the members present. Several absentees had sent dues for 1964. January is also the month for renewing subscrip tions to the Magazine, but the members discussed very favorably a plan to have every member re ceive the Magazine, and this will be voted on at the February meet ing. Mrs. Walter Summer, Director of Ridge District, gave as informa tion that the Greenwood committee in charge of the Conference this Spring had contactted her relative to a date for the meeting and had asked if March 17 or 18 would be convenient for the Newberry chap ters. The members agreed that either date would suit. It was moved and carried that a Love Box be passed at each meet ing, the contents from which to be used for little attentions to sick and retired members. The chapter then adjourned for an afternoon meeting on the first Tuesday in February. MANION : FORUM j Last December 1, the Washing ton Post printed a press dispatch from Tokvo about Richard Snyder, now First Secretary in the U. S. Embassy there. Snyder was the American consul who handled the case of Lee Oswald when the Pres idential assassin was attempting to renounce his United States cit izenship in Moscow in 1959. In the dispatch Snyder was quoted as saying that he had been ordered by the State Department not to discuss the Oswald case. Was this a special order or a general order by the State Depart ment to cover up pertinent facts about the President’s assassina tion? £ Many things militate against the full truth about Lee Harvey Os wald ever coming out. While it is impossible to gather complete au thentic, factual information re garding the Oswald case, it is, on the other hand, very easy to spot a cover-up which is coming. First, the United States security agents, before the President’s visit to Dal las, had concentrated exclusively on the Right Wing instead of Left Wing Extremists there. Since one from the Left killed the Pres ident, it makes one wonder how really anxious these agencies are to go deeply into Left Wing Ex tremism. Secondly, George Ball, Acting Secretary of State at the time, quickly cabled all U. S. Ambassa dors that “no foreign governments were involved.” His position has been protected coustantly and 'Will probably be the major factor in a cover-up which is coming. Moves by the vocal Left Wing to cover up the danger that erupted from the Left, by blaming “hate cam paigns” and “all extremist?” makes a real investigation diffi cult. There are many important questions still unanswered. Why did Oswald start for Mexico City the day it was announced the President was going to visit Tex; as? Oswald was a member of tha “Fair Play For Cuba Committee/’ and there are four Castro IntelIL gence Units with “killer sectional operating in Mexico. h ’ ‘ . t ' * ‘Yv: /K Moreover, the Red Chinese ane veryactive in Castro’s Cuba. They have been unhappy about the close co-operation, as of late, between President Kennedy and Premief Khrushchev, as well as of aH ef forts toward improving East-West relations in the past three years.’ We do not even need to ask> “Did Oswald go to Havana while he was supposedly in Mexico?” There are two flights each week of Cubana Air Lines which carry Communists from all over this hemisphere from Mexico City to Havana without documents, or records. What was Oswald doing ip Minsk during his years in Soviet Russia as a defector to Commun ism? There is a Soviet school for training foreign espionage experts near Minsk. Could Oswald have attend it? Could he have practic ed rifle shooting while there?. What did Oswald, in his long talks with the officials in our Em bassy in Moscow, have to say td them? Why have these officials been silenced? More important; How does it happen that the United States de partment of State had issued Os wald a new passport permitting him to go to the Soviet Union just prior to his fatal act? It is hardly enough to brush this all aside with the statement that the killer was unbalanced. His tory shows that assassins are us ually unbalanced, but that does not keep them from being used, from being part of a plot. The extremist of the Left, of course, have been and still are the dangerous people in the Uni ted States. They have a spiritual homeland abroad — Communist Russia or Communist China, or Communist Cuba. If there is distrust among the American people as alleged by the Left, there is good reason for it. The State department has consist ently misled the people regarding our Communist enemy. Truth would destroy the State Depart ment policy, which holds that the Communists are maturing and are less dangerous. The American people would like the whole truth about the Ken nedy assassination and we cannot hope to get the truth from the State Department. A great many people in Congress feel this way. A House Joint Resolution No. 812 calls for a complete investigation of the State Department, with special emphasis on the Oswald case. Ask your Congressman about it. FARM NOTES Care of Farm Machinery Everybody talks about the wea ther! It has been rough this win ter! Maybe you could use this time to an advantage by getting the tractor and other equipment in good shape. Somehow, it seems like we put those jobs off until -we need it. Many valuable hours and often a complete crop may be lost due to an untimely break down. What is untimely—Do you remember a piece of equipment breaking down ?it a convenient time? Our 4-H Club boys have a real opportunity to learn how to care for the tractor in the 4-H Tractor school. The second meeting of the Tractor school is set for Thurs day, January 23, at 7:00 at New berry Tractor Company. The group is divided into first-year and second-year work. Topics for discussion for first-year boys are: 1. .Learning how to be safe; 2 What Makes an Engine Run; 3 Nuts, Bolts, Screws and Rivets; 4 The Instrument Panel; 5 Con trol for Your Tractor; 6 Daily Maintenance and Safety Check; 7 Starting and Stopping Tractor; 8 Clear Air for your Engine; 9 Periodic Lubrication and Main tenance. Sound interesting? Be on hand Thursday night. The Trac- Grady L. Halfacre, local leader of Prosperity 4-H, believes in get ting things done! The 4-H Club has adopted a landscaping plan for the school yards. With help from the P.T.O. they plan to plant trees and shrubs in an area that before was overgrown in honey suckle. The boys have removed some of the overcrowded trees and dug holes for the dogwood, crab- apple and hollies. Many people will enjoy the fruits of their labor. Feeder Pig Sale Planned Already Newberry county is the Egg Capital of South Carolina. Wouldn’t it be grand if we could also claim title to being the “feed er-pig capital” of South Carolina? This could happen if all goes ac cording to plan. Last week a group of people from Newberry and surrounding counties met and made plans for this hope to become reality. First we’U. peed more pigs produced— then will come the sale. Tentative plans are for holding the first of these graded feeder pig sales in Newberry this fajl, during th e IfSltrpart of October. Adequate numbers of quality pigs would at tract buyers from throughout the jStafce as well as from adjoining states. Success of this first sale will depend on the prompt coop eration of farmers who are look ing for ways of increasing their farm income. Sows and gilts must be bred: during March and April to produce pigs that will be ready to market in the October sale. Graded feeder sales have in re cent years given a big boost to the beef cattle industry in South Car olina. No less is expected of the proposed feeder pig sales for the Hog business of our State. We be lieve this program of feeder pig production and sales can be of great value to Newberry county. If you are interested in feeder pig production, let us explain more of the details of this program to you. Income Tax Time For farmers, that time is here again. It matters not how much or how little you made in 1963, most farmers will have to make that incometax return. Much help on this chore can be obtained from the 1963 Farmers’ Income Tax Guide now available at our office. This guide will prove valuable to those who fill out their own returns. If someone else fills out your return, make sure they have a copy of it. Drop by to pick up a copy or call us to get a copy mailed to you. Fertilize Pecan Trees Most folks with pecan trees were rewarded with a bumper crop last fall. This means it is most important to fertilize your trees for this year’s crop. Failure to do so will most sur Jy result in a small crop or perhaps none at all this year. February is the best time to fertilize pecan trees, but now is better than waiting too late. Here’s a good point to re member. The catkins for pollination are produced on current seasons growth. This means that unless there is sufficient fertilizer pres ent to stimulate growth in the spring there is likely to be a shortage of “blooms” produced for pollination. This is likely the cause of “alternate bearing,” a condition of trees bearing one year and skipping the next. This condi tion can often be corrected by ade quate fertilizing. Any complete garden fertilizer, such as 5-10-10 will do. How Much To Use: Few pecan trees are ever too heavily fartiliz- ed. A good rule of thumb is to measure thediameter of the tree 1 foot above the ground. Then ap ply 3 pounds of complete fertilizer per inch of diameter. A tree 15 inches in diameter would require 45 pounds of fertilizer, etc. How To Apply: Feeder roots of pecan trees extend from the trunk of the tree to twice the distance of the limb spread. The problem is to get the fertilizer into the soil in this area so that the tree will benefit from it and not the grass and weeds. A soil probe such as a heavy crowbar can be used when the soil is wet to punch holes for the fertilizer. Hole?- should be spaced two feet each way over the entire area and fill ed with fertilizer. Close the holes aftef filling by stepping on them with the heel of the shoe. 5 Zinc Sulpha* M*y be Needed: Zinc deficiency usuaBy shows up sooner or later on pecan trees in oar area Therefore, an applica tion of Zinc Sulfate applied in the same manner as the fertilizer is recommended. Mature trees need approximately 5 pounds of Zinc Sulfate per year. Use pro portionately leases amounts for younger trees. Remember that it is not prac tical to spray a few trees for in sect and disease control.
