BREEDIN 1 commend Senator Thurmond wholeheartedly for his criticism of President Nixon; and by the same token I am deeply dis appointed m President Nixon for whom 1 have felt and expressed hearts enthusiasm. The people of the South have become shocked at finding the President willing to oppress us and willing to sacrifice our gen erous support The National Administration has changed from being our good ti icnd to adopting a course that reminds us of 1870. In 1870 we were winning some triends m die North; and in 1070 we seem to have lost our Iriends m the North. The Republican Party has re cently won many friends in South Carolina, including my self. and our most promising candidate for Governor has come out on the Republican ticket So now. where are we and what is what'.' .Just how much involved in Europe are we is a question; and how deeply involved in Asia is another question. We are in volved. more or less, all over the world. Whv we should maintain an army in Germany is one ques tion and why we may have an army in France is another ques tion. We seem to have naval vessels in and about the Medi terranean. We operate naval patrols in the far East and up and down the Mediterranean as well as up and down the Atlantic off Spain, Belgium and Den mark. We must patrol the South Atlantic around Cuba and the Panama Canal. We also need to patrol the Pacific Ocean near the Panama Canal. I am not an alarmist but we are the only nation with a big navy but an effective patrol near the mouth of the Panama Canal, east and west, requires a strong force; leaving the big parts of the United States, east and west, unprotected. That is why I have urged a connection from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific. Ten or twenty big warships to the east of the Canal and an equal force to the west of the Canal would tax our naval pow er extremely. If you think I am exaggerating the danger I assure you I am in marked degree considering pos sibilities. It is of the highest degree that we have a sea level canal protecting our ports and under the full control of our Na tion. It appears that we are at peace with all of the countries south of us, but we are at the mercy of South and Central Am erica as well as Mexico. The Panama Canal may some day be beyond our protection. Let us get ready. Would You Live In Half A House?

Troops 222, 101, 176 and 200 mace up about one third of the campers. There were 303 camp ers that ate at one meal. Most of all, members of each troop did outstanding work while in camp by joining in all activities and working on scout tests. Scout leaders included Scout masters George Summer, Mar vin Eaves, Barry Dominick, De wey Kinard, Buddy Ammons, Buddy Andrews, Chuck Chap- ell and the Rev. Paul Hatch. One other very outstanding scou- ter that represented the entire District was the Rev. Fred Byrd. Rev.Byrd was a great favorite among all scout troops. He was very handy in every type of service from serving as a minister to doing very menial tasks while taking the Order of the Arrow Ordeal. He proved to be a regular guy and was known and loved by all of the scouts in camp. The outstanding troop of the period was Troop 222 which had almost fifty scouts and leaders. They won the first place in the aquatic events and also in the field events. This was the se cond time in two years that the troop did that. They also re ceived 48 merit badges, earned 11 advancements, had 22 scouts to try for the one mile swim and every scout made it. They also had two scouts to serve as life guards and three scouts to work and earn the Life Guard test. They won the Pepsi Dive, the watermelon ‘Battle Royal’ and Scoutmaster George Summer also won the coveted Pepsi Cola’ Merit Badge that so many others tried for. This badge was given by a scout named Tom Kennedy, a son of Robert Kennedy and grandson of the late Dr. Kennedy. Troop 222 also had eight scouts to be selected in the Order of the Arrow. Troop 176 earned 48 merit badges, six selected in the Ord er of the Arrow. Troop 200 earn ed 30 merit badges and four selected in the Order of the Arrow. Troop 101 earned 13 merit badges and had two sel ected in the Order of the Ar row. The camp was so full that some scouts had to sleep in tents. These tents were extra good and the scouts did not mind it; in almost every case the scouts volunteered to sleep in tents. There were several new feat ures of camp for this year. One was the use of a camp chaplain, Mr. Robert Hattinger of Baltimore, Md., and a stu dent of Emory Seminary in Atlanta, Ga. Religious services were conducted every morning just before breakfast. These services were voluntary and were well attended by scouts and scouters. The Mess Hall is very pretty with 44 framed pictures that appeared on the front cover of The Boys Life magazine in past years. These were all paintings bv the noted Norman Rockwell. Another important feature is the portrait of Mr. L. L. Stan ley, a former executive of the Blue Ridge Council. Mr. Stan ley was a wonderful executive. He loved the scouts and the scouts loved him. The portrait shows him with his hands fold ed, just looking over the 300 scouts at everv meal. The eats seem to get better each year and there is a won derful group of four ladies who cook for the scouts. The camp is lighted up at night by large amber lights just like Newber ry. On Wednesday afternoon, many visitors visit the boys and come for the aquatic and field events and remain over for the Indian Pageant. We had about 75 from Newberry to come and bring picnic baskets. That made a beautiful scene to see hundreds of people with their scout sons lined up and down the creek bank for almost a mile. Improvements are made each year and with three lakes for fishing, one for boating and one for swimming, makes the day complete. Another improvement in recent years is the ice mak ing machine which makes it possible to have plenty of iced tea for dinner and supper. Milk is served at most all meals, also. The canteen is a popular place and provides the scouts with soft drinks, candies, etc. and many scout supplies. Troop 222 had one or two little tether balls that were batted so many times that it would al most reach around the earth. TRANSFERS OF REALTY Newberry No. 1: Florence D. Crump to San- uel B.

Armyworm on the rampage The fall Armyworm is now devouring crops in Newberry County. County Agent Al Busby reports that so far damage by Armyworms has been found on only late-planted crops of Brown Top Millet and Milo. Experience from past years indicates that other crops such as pastures, coastal Bermuda and soybeans should be checked for Army- worm infestations. “In milo, corn earworm or ‘Budworm’ is also causing a good bit of damage,” said Bus by. Usually milo will outgrow corn earworm infestations with out spraying or dusting for their control. This is not the case with fall Armyworm, how ever. This greedy customer works fast and can sweep across a field of lush grass in a mat ter of hours. Sevin, applied as a dust or spray, gives quick control of the fall Armyworm. One and one- half to two pounds of Sevin, active ingredient, per acre is needed. It takes 15 to 20 pounds of 10 percent Sevin dust or 3 to 4 pounds of 50 percent spray- able Sevin per acre to equal this recommended amount. For control of corn earworm or “budworm” in milo, spray ing with ground equipment is needed for adequate coverage. The same rate per acre is needed for this worm, also.
