Air Force to
have more in
the WAFS
The number of women in the
Air Force will about triple
over the noxt seven years un
der a newly approved expan
sion of both officer and airman
WAF strength authorizations.
Under the plan, which has
been given Defense Department
approval, there will be about
15,000 WAF in service by 1974.
The present size of the WAF
force is slightly over 5000.
Col. Jean Holm, drector of
the WAF, said recently that
as part of the expansion, M We
hope to have one in four over
seas rather than one in ten we
now have."
With the increase in WAF
strength, it is predicted that
to women. A number of jobs
assignments will also be open
to women. Anumber of jobs
previously marked for males
only have been opened in re
cent years. Col. Holm said new
studies are exploring other
areas where women could be
used.
Commenting on the increase,
local Air Force recruiting ser
geant Frank F. Fernley said
that the need for qualified
young women will greatly in
crease.
“If I could do some crystal
ball gazing," Sgt. Fernley
said, “I would say that now
s the time for young women
o give serious consideration to
oining the Air Force.
With the increase, Sgt. Fern
ley said, more officers and
more WAF airmen will obvi
ously be needed, and promo
tions will probably increase
since the WAF will need addi
tional young women in super
visory positions in both the
officer and NCO ranks.
Sgt. Fernley also said that
those young women who jion
the Women in the Air Force
now will definitely be in a po
sition to take advantage of
the increase.
He urged women who are in
terested in the Air Force to
contact him at Local Board No.
36 on Mondays or phone 276-
2483.

Boll Weevil Migration
Boll weevil migration usually
begins about July 24 in the
Coastal plain counties. It moves
north and westward thruout
the state and reaches Piedmont
counties about August 1. It
has been noted that migration
of the boll weevil has about
begun in this county, so we
should resume our applications
of insecticides on a 3 to5-day

basis until all bolls expected
to be harvested are firm and
speckled. Be sure that what
ever insecticide is used, it
should include DDT for boll
worm control. Make applica
tions for control of aphids and
spider mites as needed.
Garden
August is a good time to
extend the harvest period by
planting vegetables for a fall
garden.
Crops for the fall garden
can include snapbeans, beets,
broccoli, brussel sprouts, cab
bage, collards, cucumbers, let
tuce, mustard, rutabaga, and
squash.
You should give particular
attention to insects and disease
when a fall crop is planted. In-
sects tend to build up during
summer months even though
good insect control programs
have been followed.
Lawn Insects
First let’s discuss the most
serious lawn insect in South
Carolina and a few control mea
sures. The Chinch Bugs—Ser
ious chinch bug damage is fre
quently reported in the Coast
al Plains Area of the state and
in recent years even to the
mountains.
The chinch bug sucks the
plant juices and also releases
a poison. Yellowish-to-dead pat
ches occur in lawns. The great
est damage occurs in sun-shin
ning areas of lawn. Shady spots
are not usually infested because
the chinch bug does not like to
work in the shade.
Young chinch bugs (nymphs)
are about one twenth inch long
and are reddish with a white
band. Adult chinch bugs are
about one-fifth inch long and in
general have a blackish color
with wnite patches on the
wings. It maybe a wise idea to
check your lawn weekly for
chinch bugs. One good method
you might use to check your
lawn; slide your foot through
the sod and watch for bugs to
crawl across your shoe. When
chinch bugs are found, treat
lawn with a 5 per cent Sevin
dust 8 pounds per square feet,
or a 25 per cent Diazinon 1 1/3
cupfuls in a spray form. Lawn
should be sprinkled at least one
hour before applying insecti
cide. This helps to let the in
secticide into the thick mat of
grass. The lawn should be
‘.sprinkled immediately after
applying insecticide. Retreat in
about 2 weeks to kill newly hat
ched insects.
Use any available equipment
that wll give even distribution
of insecticide.
Army Worm And Sod
Wekworms
—may especially damage
species of grass. They may
also be controlled by using a 5
percent Sevin dust at a rate
of 4 pounds per 1000 square
feet.
Grubs, Ants And Mole
Crickets
—may be controlled by using
5 per cent chlordane dust at a
rate of 5 pounds per 1000 sq.

THE
MANI0N
FORUM
By MARILYN MANION
SOME REASONS FOR THE
LONG HOT SUMMER
Why did the riots happen ?
What prompted the violence in
dozens of American cities?.
Two extremes answer that
question without qualification.
One view maintains that pov
erty, lack of education, econo
mic hopelessness, and segrega
tion produced the uprisings.
The opposite opinion is that
the cause came, not from the
inside, but from without - out
side agitators, many of whom
are connected with either the
Far Left, the Black National
ist Movement, or the Commun
ist Party.
Both sides bolster their con
tentions with convincing argu
ments. And the politicians sit
nervously by, waiting to see
which side captures the fickle
fancy of the American voter.
Will the people, next year,
vote Liberal, and demand bil
lions of dollars to be spent on
Negroes? Will they backlash
and rally round a white supre
macist candidate? Or will they
support a ticket that promises
to preserve, no matter what,
law and order? Heretofore, a
>ood many political candidates
have been eager to obtain the
“minority vote." Next year,
they will be more interested in
the majority vote.
While the vote-hungry poli
ticians anxiously attempt to de
cide how to woo the people,
it might be a good idea for
the people to probe into the
part the politicians played in
this summer’s riots. For, in ad
dition to “inside" and “out
side" causes, there were sev
eral political causes for the
disturbances.
For several years, platforms
and candidates have promised
the Negro everything—superb
housing, good income, and so
cial equality. The Federal Gov
ernment has spent millions of
dollars to this end in Detroit,
Newark, and elsewhere—but
poverty still exists. Thi prom
ised Heaven on earth did not
come true—and when Heaven
wasn’t delivered, all hell broke
'oose.
Consider the view of some
uocial planners who plan to
mprove the lot of Negro
.’hildren by Head Start pro
grams, cross-town bussing and
better schools. No program of
this kind can succeed unless
the home life of the children
in question is adequate. Dots
the anti-poverty program seek
to help strengthen the basic
unit of society among Negroes?
Apparently not. The subsidies
available to Negro families
now, as William F. Buckley
put it recently, “are not pay
able to families whose father
is in residence. In other words,
there is a de facto cash prem
ium on the separation of fa
ther and mother.”
In addition to creating un
realistic hopes and aggravat
ing the lack of familial cohes
iveness, the politicians have
popped up among the “outside
agitators.” In Nashville, it was
charged, Federal monev helped
finance a “liberation school"
for Negroes, the faculty of
which included known riot in
stigators. Looters in one New
York disturbance turned out
to be a Federally-financed pov
erty organization. Newark city
officials maintain that anti-
poverty workers there have
“made significant contribu
tions" to the riots.
Now that President Johnson
has proposed a whopping sur
tax, it may be time for the
taxpaying American voter to
examine how his tax money is
being spent NOW. Those who
aren’t willing to have their
hard-earned dollars spent to
fan the sparks of anarchy into
flame will have to demon
strate their unwillingness at
the polls next November.
