A popular summer proj ect for many homeowners is the construction of a wood deck, a desirable ad dition to older homes or new. A modern wood dock will give you outdoor living space where you want or need it With a bit of help and advice from an estab lished lumber dealer, the home handyman will find a wood deck relatively sim ple to assemble. Some dealers can provide de tailed plans for the project. The design shown could be lengthened to serve two areas of the home, through sliding glass doors or French windows. It could also be shortened to make a sun deck off a bedroom. [Mir MW ¥ Y] m alL JM Mrll lil K For a deck span of up to 12 feet use a 4" x 8" girder and two 4" x 4" posts. For lengths above 12 feet, consult your building-mate rials dealer. He’ll also recommend that the lumber you use be either durable heartwood or preserva- tively treated.

D. Williams of Columbia w’as guest speaker when the New berry Garden club met Tuesday at the home of Mrs. J. E. Wise man Jr. Mrs. Williams’ subject was “Civic Development.” Mrs. Williams was well quali fied to speak on this subject, hav ing served as Civic Beautification Chairman of the Garden Club Council of Columbia; on the City of Columbia Advisory Committee on Urban Rehabilitation, the Fight Blight and Cleaner Columbia com mittees, the South Atlantic Reg ional Committee on Civic Develop ment and the S. C. Beautification and Community Development com mittee. While garden clubs are mainly interested in flowers, trees, etc., Mrs. Williams said, they should also be involved in other areas of civic work. Phases of civic devel opment stressed by the speaker were rehabilitation, renewal and beautification. Under rehabilitation she men tioned sponsoring of laws designed to protect health and welfare; ordinances requiring houses to meet certain standards and sim ilar projects. Renewal would be the redevel opment of slum areas and beauti fication would include such pro jects as anti-litter and roadside beautification. “The role a garden club should take is beautification,” the speak er said. “The role of a citizen is in all areas.” Mrs. Sydney Carter introduced Mrs. Williams. Assisting Mrs. Wiseman in en tertaining the club were Mrs. Dave Sokevitz and Mrs. Charles Gray. Presiding over the meeting was the president, Mrs. J. E. Wiseman Sr. Reports were given by all com mittee chairmen. Announcement was made of the landscape design course on October 19-21 at the University of South Carolina.

The door prize was won by Mrs. Williams. The hostesses served sand wiches, cookies, cheese straws and coffee. Following the meeting Mrs. Williams was entertained with a luncheon Marvin G.

Shelton is making his home at 1905 College St. in Apart ment No. 2. BY THE WAY . . . (Continued from page 1) U. S. is only a matter of years away’.” Who is to blame? We, the peo ple. We elected and re-elected the amoral Socialists who have been running our country for the past 30 years and who have deliberate ly downgraded morality, family, God and country. What can we do? There must be a grassroots awakening and rebellion. We must clean out the Bobby Bakers and the people who protect the Bobby Bakers. We get what we deserve. We are the government. Freedom and morality are indivisible. If we allow our leaders to continue their plans to merge us into a one- world, socialist state with the Communists, we will be enslaved, and we will deserve to be. For Communism is the most diaboli cal, criminal conspiracy in the an nals of man. It all ties together’ disarma ment, forced association and for ced equality, registration and col lection of citizen firearms, unre stricted immigration, confiscatory taxation, ban on school prayer, downgrading of family life, down grading of Jesus Christ, encour agement of civil disorders and dis respect for law, obscenity and pornography on the newsstands, condoning of sexual promiscuity and perversion, poisoning of stu dents’ minds in the name of aca demic freedom. These things aren’t just happening; they’re be ing made to happen. By traitors cowards, collectivists, and half- brights. Let us assume for the sake of argument, that those of our lead ers who are sponsoring our dis armament and our merger into a one-world, non-profit, socialist brotherhood under the United Na tions are right. These people, whatever their motives, are tak ing all possible steps to merge us with the “mellowing” enemy, as the only “practical” solution to the world’s problems. Let us as sume that the Communists at some point actually quit murdering and enslaving people and decide to be a peaceful partner in a world na tion. Even if this impossible dream came to pass, it would mean that we would lose virtually all the freedoms we have always held dear. We would be slaves, for a slave is a person whose will is controlled by another. We would have renounced our Christian principles. We would have aban doned our rights to own, manage, inherit, discriminate. A person who does not discriminate is either a slave or a slob. Where are we going? We the people must decide that, by the leaders we choose. And in order to know where we want to go, it is vital that we know where we are. It is vital that we know the truth. We must not be like the beautiful blonde who yearned so to go to Hawaii that she started walking daily along the steam ship docks in San Francisco. Fin ally she met a sailor who told her he could arrange the trip. So she met him one night at a spot he suggested. He smuggled her on board a vessel and hid her in a lifeboat which was covered with a tarpaulin. For days he brought her food and spent as much time with her as possible. But eventual ly she became so tired of the cramped quarters that she climb ed out from under the tarpaulin, approached a ship’s officer and asked, “When does this boat get to Honolulu?” The officer gasped, “This boat doesn’t go to Hono lulu, Madame. This is the Oakland Ferry.” THE LONG SUNDAY RIDE HOW MUCH LONGER, DAD? I'M TIRED OF >oa AU_-rHlG FUSS OVER A 2 HOUR CAR RIDE',X USEP TO MAKE THIS TRIP IN A WAGON.

YOU CHILDREN KEEP auigr... don't DISTURB YOUR father while he's DRIVING-WE'LL BE AT Grandma's House SOON... T yeah; and its SO <§B©rc3G>S© X CAN'T get COMFORTABLE.. r From Mrs. Harold Cunningham, Beaver Dams, New York: I re member we lived on a farm in the fear 1923 and I was four years old. My father purchased one of those still-looked-on-with-suspicion con traptions—the automobile. It was one of the first in our town and my father was proud and overjoyed at the sensation it caused. Used to a horse and bug gy, or a sled, and to riding through the countryside to the beat of horses’ hooves and die jingle of bells, we found a new experience —our first ride in the runabout. We took off quickly, just like the time our horse was stung by a bee, only faster. “Hang on!” wasn’t just a casual expression. It was seriously meant and seri ously taken. Those who failed to heed the warning could find them* selves bounced out. One day it happened to me. Mother sent dad to the store for sugar. She asked him to take me. As usual, he took off at top speed. At the store he forgot something and turned sharply into a drive way to go back. The door of the runabout flew open and deposited me flat on my stomach on the bank of the driveway. The bank was grassy and soft. A crowd gathered. Everyone asked if I was hurt Meaning to say, “I am just flattened,” I said instead, “No daddy, I am just flat tered.” From Dorothy Turner, Cincin nati, Ohio: I remember when the canal ran through our city, and the boats were pulled along by mules. I remember when we had open street cars. You could hop on any place to get a seat as they ran very slow. I remember when a loaf of bread, 10c worth of baloney and 2c worth of onions could feed an entire family. I remember the opeiu house as a big and beautiful place—and how the poor people went there during the depression to receive food. I remember the Sunday con certs in Washington Park and how we would take our lunches, stand around or sit at the tables to eat. I remember when “shows” cost only a nickel—and the pictures were good, too. And I remember how we used to fight over our Crosley radio—-as to who would have the earphones next to listen to the “music from the air.” My brother was always first. Boy, do I remember!
