Dr. A. J. Cronin was a physician in
England until his health broke. 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.

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.

herd '
in S.
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.
