Soit THE “SPECTATOR'S” COLUMN Recently we had a very unusual week—a full w r eek. Bible Week, Newspaper Week, and World Ser ies in Baseball. The Bible—THE Book—brings to us interesting and informative accounts of the formation and de velopment of the Hebrew nation. But more important by far are the accounts of Jehovah’s revela tion of His plans for His people and the rich fellowship of Abra ham, Joseph, Moses, David and others with the ' Great Jehovah. And we read with interest those accounts because Jehovah still reigns and lives in the hearts of His people. As to the newspapers, they are champions of liberty and watch men in the tower to warn us of the enemy. Now the world series of Base ball, fought by the Los Angeles and Minneapolis teams ended thrillingly. Koufax of Los Angeles, a really great pitcher, deserves to be rated among the great pitchers. (Inci- dently Mr. Spectator, Koufax is a descendant of Abraham et al as he is a Jew.) Speaking of pitchers, I was a fervent devotee of Christy Math- eson, the greatest of all pitchers, in my judgment. I was in New York, ready to sail for Charleston, when I read that Mathewson had pitched on Thursday. He did; and he made only 69 pitches; he knew r where to put the ball. He had passed his prime but his keen judgment and control carried him on, though his early victories established his greatness. A wonderful team was the Bos ton Braves of 1914. In July in the cellar they rose to the champion ship of the world, defeating Connie Mack’s famous team, one of the greatest teams ever in baseball. The Boston team had %hree pitchers—James, Rudolph and Ty ler, who. are seldom remembered today but they pitched that Bos ton team to victory in the Nat- inonal league and to champion ship of the world. We must not overlook Bible Week. The ancient Jewish peo ple, just out from a stay of more than four hundred years in Egypt, were developing into a nation and they were a people of God’s choosing. They built temples of great beauty and impressiveness because it seemed desirable that a monument be erected to Jeho vah, for people in that day, as now', too, needed to be reminded of the reality of God. His presence, His solicitious regard, His all-pow erful participation in the daily af fairs if His direction wore prayed for. So the gorgeous, massive, elab orate temples stood as the Rock of Faith, the inspiration of ^otfth and the solace of age. ^ i‘ { U As David said “Thou' has been our dwelling place in all genera tions.” So, we, too, need to be reminded daily of the reality and solicitude of Jehovah. We do not study $he. Bible as History, but as revelation for our daily renewal of zeal. * /l T « The sedate Chase Bank of NeW'* York, third largest bank in Am erica, sends this out: i “Trading Up the Family Char iot— One of the American family’s most costly possessior^s, ias well as one of the econoniy’s major supports, the automol^e is. also being traded up.

Teen-age sitters are a national institution. More than a million of them work from coast to coast.

The 3-to-4- year-old likes stories and “pre tend” games. The 5-to-6-year-old is ready to cut and paste. The smart sitter comes prepared. “The baby sitter’s kit is your own private collection of toys,’ surprises and emergency needs,” says the booklet, and it urges' sitters to carry" crayons and colored paper, notebook, flash light and other handy supplies. Other experts in the field of child play agree.' “Parents can help,” points out "Alice Hanson of Whitman Pub lishing Company, Racine, Wis consin, world’s largest publisher v of children’s books. “They can tell the sitter where favorite playthings are. At bedtime the sitter might read a child’s favor ite book. Or she can bring her own.

The bountiful leisure most Am ericans now enjoy—owing to shorter work weeks, longer vaca tions and more holidays—is used in so many different ways-that it is quite impossible to discuss them all. A brief look at several rep resentative items, however, shows the general trend to trade up. Yachts, once relatively austere, are now likely to come equipped with a galaxy of luxury accessor ies, including electrically pumped showers and double oven stoves. People who own smaller boats are likewise trading up, with the av erage outboard motor expanding from 13 horsepower in 1955 to 30 horsepower in 1964. Back in the good old days, in expensive bleacher seats at most of the nation’s ball parks always filled up first. Now, however, al most everyone wants reserved seats. So difficult has it become to ^ell the cheaper seats that new feftea stadium, home of the Mets, was constructed without bleach ers at all. . ■ The tendency to trade up also extends to personal effects.

This is a free service and it is being done for your safety; so, when the Veterinarians come to your home or farm, please coop erate in getting your cows tested. SWINE DISEASE We would like to quote a release made recently by Mr. Carl Ack erman, extension animal science specialist, Clemson University, which we think that our hog grow ers should know about. Mr. Ack erman says, “A swine disease call ed Transmissible Gastroenteritis (TGE) cost South Carolina swine producers thousands of dollars last fall and winter. Some growers lost as high as 300 to 400 pigs from this disease last year. This disease is particularly bad during the colder months and causes al most 100 per cent death loss in pigs under 10 days of age. A new (TGE)^Vaccin^ias been released and will be available from Vet erinarians during the month of October. To acquire immunization sows are vaccinated twice—two months before farrowing and one month before farrowing. The vaccine of fers only short-term immuiity. As the sow builds up immunity to TGE, she passes this immunity on to her pigs. It is urged that In American Revolutionary Days villagers ever alert to oncoming danger listened hourly to the reas suring cry of “It’s three o’clock and all’s well!” Too poor to afford time pieces, settlers relied on the town crier to get the time. Pennsylvania Dutch Farmers relied mainly on kitchen clocks of very practical and durable design. Many timepieces had spice shelves or hooks for cooking utensils. Not too long ago only well-to-do-city dwellers could af ford ornate parlor clocks like the Bos ton Lyre or the Con necticut Banjo Clock. Today, clocks are used in every *room in the house—from bath to patio to nursery. Changing these clocks on October 31st for the end of Daylight Saving Time should be no problem if you remember this timely tip from Westclox, makers of the famous Big and Baby Ben- turn your clocks hock one hour at 2 am. ^ SENATOR I ■ STRO HURMOND PEOPLE ‘Popular Front’ Anarchy DURING the weekend of Oc tober 16 and 17, Americans were shocked by a series of mass demonstrations across the coun try “protesting” the role of the United States in Viet-Nam. Over 10,000 reportedl> participated in the demonstration in Berkeley, California, and the march in New York was reported to be the largest “anti-conscription” dem onstration in that city since the War Between The States. THE “GET OUT of Viet- Nam” movement has moved from the “teach-in” technique to mass demonstrations. Lawless civil disobedience tactics, large ly condoned and tolerated during the “civil rights” demonstra tions, were eagerly adapted for the “Yiet-Nam” protests also. MANY of . the leaders and or ganizations which spurred the “civil rights” demonstrations are also prominent in the “Get Out of Viet-Nam” activities. The or ganization SNCC (Student Non violent Coordinating Committee) participated in the demonstra tions and the planning sessions, and leaders of local chapters of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) were active. ONE PRIME target of the anti-Viet-Nam civil disobedience campaign is the selective service law. or (he draft From the be ginning of the movement, great stress has been placed on efforts to incite young men either to re fuse to serve in the Armed Forces or to evade the draft Counseling any person to refuse or evade any reqairement of the selective service laws is a crim inal offense punishable by 5 years’ imprisonment or a fine of $10,000, or both. Until the most recent series of demonstrations, there has apparently been no effort by the Department of Jus tice to enforce this criminal law. WHEN participants in the civil disobedience campaign n sorted to public destruction of draft cards, Congressman Rivers (D-SO and I sponsored legisla tion to clone the loophole fa the law which left this action m punishable. This legislation was pssssd by the Congress within a weeh after its introdaetioc. The first arrest under the law pro- hibitinc the willful destruction of a draft card was suds by the FBI last week. ONE DIRECT effect of the civil disobedience demonstrations against U. S. involvement in Viet-Nam is to mislead the com munists into believing that the majority of U. S. citizens oppose U. S. involvement in Southeast Asia In addition, the demonstra tions provide effective propa ganda material to the commu nists. The calls for civil dis obedience on the weekend of October 16 were circulated world-wide, and were matched by demonstrations against U. S. embassies in foreign lands. THE OCTOBER 16 demon strations included the most open and advertised participation by the communists to date. The propaganda distributed in con nection with the demonstrations ranged from non-factual, naive pacifism to the disciplined com munist line. Traditional pacifist organizations worked openly, not only with such organizations as the radical left Students for a Democratic Society and the com munist spawned DuBois Clubs, but also with the Communist Party, USA, and the Chinese- oriented Progressive Labor Movement. Even Pravda hailed and encouraged this “popular front” activity, originated by the communists in the early 1930’s. ACCORDING to Gua Hall, Secretary of the Communist Party, USA, these radical left groups can no longrer be classi fied as “fronts.” Hall stated: “Fronts are a thing of the past We don’t need them. WeNre got the W.E.B DuBois Clubs, the Student Non-violent Coordinat ing Committee, and Students for a Democratic Society going for us, but they’re not *fronts* in the usual sense of the word. They’re just a part of the ‘responsible left*—that portion of American youth that realizes American Society is sick.” AMERICANS should indeed be alarmed that the communists have achieved a popular front to advance their immediate objec tive of anarchy in the U. 8. RIGID enforcement of the law can stem this tide, and it should be demanded by every respon sible American. Sinceraly, txm m mrfUd ot, swine growers check with Veter inarians about the vaccine. SWEET POTATOES— Harvesting and Storing Most sweet potato growers in | the county are known to harvest the majority of their potatoes dur ing the month of October. So, if you are a October harvester, here are some points that should not be overlooked. (1) when potatoes are dug, let them stay on shoul ders of beds sereval hours to dry off and toughen skins—this makes a clean potato arid helps to pre vent bruising. (2) Grade potatoes carefully. Also carefully pick up and place them in baskets. (3) fill baskets full enough so that lids will fit tightly to keep pota toes from shifting about in the baskets and bruising in hauling j to storage house or market. (4) percent. Keep house at this tern- toes in a storage house immed iately after digging. Do not let they stay out overnight. Temper ature of house should be 80 to 85 degrees F when potatoes are put in with relative humidity of 90 percent. Keep house at this them- ratufr eand humidituy for ab perature about 8 to 10 days. (5) when weather is warm, you may not need heat for curing. Tem perature may alreadybe 80 to 85 degrees F in the house. (6) Never let moisture collect on walls or overhead of storage house during curing or storage period. If this happens, dry out house by venti lating it. (7) After curing, keep temperature of house as near 55 degrees as possible. If tempera ture goes down to 40 or 45 degrees F potatoes may get chilled and cold injury will show up. Keep relative humidity from 85 to 90^ per cent during storage period? (8) Market potatoes that are thor oughly clean, well-graded and at-”* tractively packed. We find that, there are too many potatoes los^ from mishandling during harvest ing and curing time. So, let us be more careful in protecting our po tatoes during the last stage of what we have alreadv produced. TOPSEEDING LAWNS With rye grass being a common practice in South Carolina, this procedure insures a green lawn for most of the year. Around five pounds of ryegrass seed per 1000 square feet is adequate. Topseed- ing means two of grass on land where normally one is grown. Therefore, fertilization must be adequate for both. Apply around 25 pounds of a complete fertilizer such as 5-10-10 or 4-12-12 at seed ing time. Immediate and frequent watering will insure germination.
