Letter to Editor Thank you team and coaches for the excitement, enthusiasm and pride you gave Newberry this past season. What a tre mendous example of sportsman ship and team work you have shown. Through sports, again, you have proved what health) competition can do. You have put Newberry “on the map.” It is with much regret that Coach Mel Bouknight is leav ing. Newberry is losing a fine coach and a wonderful family. They will be missed. They are wished every sucess and happi ness in their new assignment. Our coaches have worked very hard to “up-grade” our school in all respects. They de serve the credit of being “Build ers of men.” They also deserve the chance to prove that ath letic monies fully returned to athletic needs can result in tre mendous potential. Every stu dent would most certainly be nefit one way or another in many ways. Why didn’t the coaches get the small raises they well de served? This sort of thing takes the heart out of a very vital part of the future of Newberry. Hopefully, all teachers will get a raise. There are those of course, who do not agree with me, but, I know of many who do agree. It was embarrassing to dis play such an outstanding team and spirited student body in a gym such as we have at New berry High School. Why not some changes? In spite of many obstacles, we are climbing. With conti nued support, we’ll get to the top. Why not? They have some of the most wonderful kids in the country here—so Newberry, take the credit. I’m willing to do all I can to make things better. Are you? Sincerely, Mrs. Ann Boyce COUNTY AGENT HAVE TREES TO PLANT! Some knowledge of some of the basic procedures of plant ing will insure better plants with reduced future mainte nance. Plants may be purchas ed from nurseries or collected from antive environments. The latter seldom process compact root systems or symmetrical branching habits as do nursery- grown plants. Plants used in the landscape are sold bare- root, balled and burlap (B&B), or container grown. Bare-root plants are sold without soil on roots in packages, either kraft paper or polyethylene. B&B plants, the roots are left intact in a ball of soil when the plant is dug. The roots plus soil is then wrapped in a square of burlap and planted with the bur lap left on the plant. Some plants are grown in metal or STRICTLY INDEPENDENT That's us! A local, independent agent serves you best because he can place your insurance in any of a number of the finest comparHes in America all competing vigorously for your business. And remember, when you have a loss he is on your side and will help you collect. “YOUR PRIVATE BANKERS” 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 "Whatsoever Things By DONALD E. WILDMON (Tour the Holy Land and Rome with Mr. Wildmon. His third tour. Nov. 23- Dec. 2, $649. Terms. Write him for more info at Box 1368, Tupelo. Miss. 38801) HOW MUCH DID HE LEAVE? rr One day two fellows were talking about a rich man who lived in their community who had just died. Every one around knew the man who had died was very wealthy, having spent his entire life in the pursuit of the dollar. One fellow turned to the other and asked a question nearly everyone was asking: “I wonder how much he left?” It is a question that is asked often. Someone dies, comes to the end of the road, and leaves a large sum of money and others are curious as to the amount he left. Too often the question is asked in an envious way, as if the one asking the question was wishing that he could lay claim to the estate. Proper Attitude Now this brings us around to one of the most important aspects of life— the proper attitude of one toward money. We don’t have to look far in this crazy world in which we live to see that it is needed—this proper atti tude toward money—sometimes des perately needed. For a large percen tage of our world’s problems are caus ed by our attitudes toward the green stuff. Men have—and continue to do so—killed, robbed, beaten, cheated, lied, and stolen for less than a dollar. We have to have money to live. That is a hard fact of life. The diffi culty comes when some think they have to have more than others, and that the world owes them something. There is nothing wrong with money, despite what we have been led to be lieve. For in itself, money is neither moral nor immoral. Money is what the person who has it makes it. It can be used for good, constructive purposes —or it can be used to destroy, cripple, and kill. It depends upon the user. The Galilean gave us the secret here. Money, He taught, is to be used for the good of mankind. He never condemned the making, honestly, of a large sum of money. He only con demned the misuse of it. He was well aware of the fact that too many people misuse money, become selfish and stin gy in their concept of the use of money. Common People There are a few people who gain from this Carpenter the proper con cept toward the use of their money. And they aren’t always folks with large sums of wealth. Often they are common people who place what they have into His care and seek to build a better world with it. We see so many people who are stingy. They hoard and keep nearly everything they get. And if they part with much of it, it is usually spent on themselves. Unfortunately we have reached a social opinion in our country that only rich folks can be stingy. But some of the most stingy people around are those who have very little. You don’t have to be rich to be stingy. You only have to have a poor heart. And this is caused by a selfish conception of what money is for. I mentioned the fact that one fellow asked the other how much the wealthy man left when he died. The second fellow turned to him and answered: “He left all he had.” I guess, when it is all over, that’s how r much each of us will leave. —FIVE STAR plastic containers which permits transplanting when plant is in active growth and therefore re duces transplant shock. Most plants can be planted from November to April in South Carolina. The earlier plants are planted, the better the root system for the follow ing summer. Deciduous plants should be planted when dor mant. With special care many ornamentals can be transplant ed at any time except during lush spring growth. Water loss during the late spring and sum mer can be reduced by the use of plastic foliar sprays. Select healthy plants—plants free of insects, disease and win ter damage. Proper care of roots prior to planting is the key to successful transplanting. Retain as many roots as possi ble and never allow roots to dry out. In the case of bare- root plants, prune off any bro ken or disease roots. If plants are received at inopportune time for planting—they should be heeled-in. When planting, dig the hole deep enough to set the plant at the same level as it originally grew. Deeper planting for most plants will result in death. Holes for B&B plants should be twice the dia meter of the soil ball and one and one-half times as deep as the soil ball depth. The sides of the hole should be vertical rather than slanting.. For root balls greater than two feet in diameter, the hole should be two feet wider than the diame ter of the ball. Holes for bare- root plants should be large enough to accommodate the root system without “folding” the roots. Soil for planting should consist of ample organic matter. A good mixture is two- thirds topsoil and one-third peat or other organic material. After mixing place enough backfill mixture in hole and tramp so that the soil ball of the plant to be planted is two inches a- bove the surrounding ground. For Azaleas and Camellias plant one inch higher. With plant in place on tramped soil, fill hole one-half full around the plant and fill hole with water. With a pole or shovel handle, force water plus soil around ball to remove air-pockets. Fi nish filling hole with topsoil mixture. With remaining soil plus subsoil, if needed, construct a saucer at soil level about two to three inches high. This soil ring will make v/atering easier. To prevent trees and large shrubs from swaying and loo sening their roots, the trunks should be staked and guyed. One stake is sufficient for small trees but several guy wires may be needed for larger trees in triangular fashion. The bank of trees should be covered with burlap, cloth or nursery tape from the ground to first limbs. A mulch of pinestraw, sawdust or other material will reduce water loss of newly-planted or namentals. Mulch applied to plants in the open may result in winter injury. LOWER BACTERIAL COUNT: Twice a year clipping of dairy cattle—in early fall and mid winter—is one way for quality milk production. Clipping helps lower milk’s Bacterial count, reduces sediment and prevents dirt accumulation. Animals stay cleaner and udders are easier to prepare for milking. Clipping is simple with no spe cial skill required. HEAR DR. CARL McINTIRE Standing Up For God and Country Daily at 8:30 a.m.—(Mon.-Fri.)
