Un able to carry on his medical work, Dr. Cronin turned to writing. It was one of the best things that ever happened to the world of literature. For through his writings, Dr. Cronin continued his work of healing. Dr. Cronin had an experience hap pen to him prior to his retirement from the medical profession. It is an experience that Dr. Cronin told that needs to be retold—often. It is the story of a young nurse who was put in charge of a little boy brought into the hospital suffering from diphtheria. The child’s throat was choked with membrane, and he w r as given only a slight chance to live. A tube was in serted into the boy’s throat to help him breathe. It was the young nurse’s job to systematically clean the tube so that it would not become blocked, thereby cutting off the boy’s breath ing. As the young nurse sat beside the boy, tired and sleeply, she accidently dozed off. She aw’akened to find the tube had become blocked. Instead of following her instructions, the nurse bolted in panic. Hysterically she call ed the doctor out from his sleep. But by the time the doctor got to the young boy, he was dead. Dr. Cronin was angry beyond ex pression. That a child should die so needlessly, by such blundering, inex cusable negMgence! Of course the nurse’s career was through. She didn't deserve another chance. That night Dr. Cronin went into his office, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote his recom mendation to the board demanding her immediate expulsion. He called her in and read it with a voice trembling with resentment. She stood there in pitiful silence, a tall, thin, gawky Welsh girl. She nearly fainted with shame and re morse. “Well, have you nothing to say for yourself?” asked Dr. Cronin in a harse voice. There was more silence, and then came a stammering plea. “Give me . . . give me another chance.” Dr. Cronin was shocked! Certainly he had no thought of that. She had made a mistake, an unforgiveable mistake. There was nothing to do but punish her. He ordered her to leave the room, sealed his report, left it on his desk, and went to bed. But that night he could not sleep. He kept hear ing some words from the dark dis tance. The words came easing from the stillness of the night. “Forgive us our trespasses ...” How often that Word comes to us. And how much we need forgiveness. How many times we make mistakes— unforgivable mistakes—and we need another chance. Consider the plight of the world if there was no Source of forgiveness—no Cross. The next morning Dr. Cronin went to his desk and tore up the report. In the years that followed he watched as this slim, nervous girl became the head of a large hospital and one of the most honored nurses in England. Forgiveness. It is a grand word. Practice it. Practice it often. —Five Star Features COMMENT on Men & Things J. k. BKKF.hIN I wish to speak to people of common sense because what I am about to say is common SA-nse. Of course you and I both know that common sense is not common; it is the rarest thintr in the world; and when ever we see a man of common sense he stands out in the irlory of unusual qualities. I atrree with my Spanish friends who -ay that common sense is not common, but the rarest thin tr in the world. “Sentido e-t a I mas raro de todos los sent idos. ” In operating your home do you reach out in every direc- *: o n to increase your debts? Well some people do but they outrht to be operating: the State grovernment. If you agree with me that we should use every means U prevent an increase in taxes, but, should find out how to reduce the taxes: then let u? see how to go about it. What I am doing now is the wrong way for I am appealing to all the people; the right way is for each citizen to get in touch with his Senator and member of the House, whether by let ter or personal appeal and let him know that you wish to state your position frankly, that you think that the State should reduce even present ex penses. What we need is to revive the Farmers’ and Taxpayers’ League and prepare to fight. We are spending too much and we are looking in ever direction and spending more money. Friends, this is serious and should have your immediate attention. Don’t you remember that we are head over heels In debt, yet promising more mon ey to this, that and every oth er group ^ Of course it would be nice to pay everybody on a lavish scale, but if you cannot live like a lord we must come down a step or two. Now then, “Let us then be up and doing, with a hear for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait.” It is the way to spend the State’s money, group by group. It is also the way to save it, group by group. We have some men who feel disposed to bankrupt the state for an interest of their friends or kinsmen. Some men are completely devoted to one in terest of their loyalty. Shall we have a solvent peo ple and a solvent state? Or shall we bankrupt the State f or our favorites? Let us reorganize our State on the “pay as you go” plan. Let u.s avoid straining the peo ple and stretching the credit.

C. for butterfat production. The DH1A average on this herd was 13,868 pounds of milk and 535 pounds of butterfat per cow. The Top 10 Dairy herds for milk production in S. C. last year all produced over 14,000 pounds of milk per cow. One herd averaged over 16,000 lbs. per cow and three other herds averaged over 15,000 lbs. per cow. This gives us something to shoot at for this year, doesn’t it ? Fertilize Pecan Trees It’- still not too late to fer tilize your pecan trees. Use a complete fertilizer, such as ’ s -8-X or 10-10-10. Apply two ‘ - r hr--e pounds per inch of ’r.-e trunk diameter. Fertilizer should be applied to the entire v >ot zone which extends twice ’h*- distance of the limb spread. Fitm-r broadcast the fertilizer or di-c into the soil, or punch holes every two to three feet ovr the root zone and fill with fertilizer. In addition to ferti lizer. zinc sulfate should be anp.ied to pecan trees every three to four years. Apply in the same manner as fertilizer, sing one-half pound of zinc -ulfa’e per inch of trunk diam- e* er. Since spraying pecan trees fe:' d.sea-e control is ruP yet practical for the average home owner, proper fertilization is important to keep trees hear ing at a near normal rate. Treat Garden For Nematodes For those who use the -ame garden spot each year, nematode control is important. Nematodes infest the roots of plants and cause stunting or sometimes even c a M s e the plants to die. Tomatoes and Okra are very susceptible to nematode damage. Sod fumigants should he u - e d several weeks before planting to kill out Nematodes A number of commercial soil fumigants are available for this purpose. Use according to label directions. When grouse hunting, it’s a good idea to carry an extra pair of socks. Put them on during lunch, and your feet will feel like new.—Sports Afield.
