Governor sets Navy Nurse Week Governor West issued a state ment today urging South Caro linians to observe 9 through 15 May 1971 as “Navy Nurse Corps Week” in recognition of the 63rd anniversary of service by Navy Nurses to our National De fense and our way of life. Navy Nurses are stationed in the United States, Europe, the Far East, on islands in the Atlan tic and Pacific, and on the hos pital ships, U.S.S. REPOSE and U.S.S. SANCTUARY in the South China Sea off the coast of Viet Nam. The Governor urged the citi zens of South Carolina to sup port the Navy Nurse Corps, its goals and traditions. Governor West further stated, “The Navy Nurse Corps supports the fleet by maintaining the health of the members of the United States Navy, and throughout the years and throughout the world has served its country in the highest traditions of pro fessional excellence in time of peace and in time of national emergency.” The Navy’s patient-care team of doctors, nurses and hospital corpsmen, treat thousands of patients daily in naval hospi tals and dispensaries. These patients, mostly Navy men and women and their families, are expertly treated for everything from common cola to cardiac conditions requiring open heart surgery. During World War II, Nurse Corps officers within the con tinental limits were assigned to 40 naval hospitals, 176 dispen saries and 6 hospital corps schools. They brought nursing care to the front lines aboard 12 hospital ships, in air eva cuation of casualties, and to foreign lands where American women had never before been seen. The statement for Navy Nurse Corps Week states in part that Navy Nurses “are always striv ing for greater perfection”. In universities and c o 11 e g'e s throughout the United States, proof is offered that Navy Nur ses are striving toward this end. There are many Nurse Corps officers on full time duty un der instruction completing study in the Baccalaureate De gree and Masters Degree Pro grams, there are enlisted Waves and Corpsmen on full time duty under instruction compet ing for their Baccalaureate De gree in Nursing, and there are male and female student nur ses who are called Navy Nurse Corps Candidates. Upon success ful completion of the course of instruction, the Waves, Corps- men and NNCC’s will be com missioned as Ensign, Nurse Corps, Naval Reserve, and re port for active duty at one of the large Naval Hospitals. Pollen vital for future of forests If you’re a spring fever suf ferer. no one has to remind you this is the time of year when pollen is in the air. But have you ever stopped tc realize that air-borne pollen can be beneficial to man as well as causing him some temporary discomfort each spring? To professional foresters, pol len in the air is very important. It means that a whole new crop of trees is beginning. Sure, it will take a long time before any tangible results will be evi dent. But the pollen in the air marks the start of a new gen eration of trees that someday in the future will shade our streams, provide homes and food for wildlife and give man more than five thousand pro ducts for better living. Even before the pollen act ually begins to fly, foresters at Champion Papers are busy. They bag the tips of the pine branches. Some of the tips will yield pollen for controlled polli nation. Some branch tips bear ing female flowers will be con trol pollinated. Through this careful pollination process, for esters can control the genetic characteristics of future trees. Other foresters are climbing tall ladders and squirting col lected pollen into plastic bags. These bags cover the female flowers. Female pine flowers pollinated this year will yield cones in the fall of 1973. Seeds from those cones will be plant ed in Spring. 1974. Pollen. A nuisance to some. But to professional foresters, the beginnings of a whole new generation of trees to provide many benefits for many people in the months and years to come.

WILDMON Tour the HoVy Land with Mr. Wildmon, Nov. 22.D<*. 3. J664. For more into, write him at Box 13fi8, Tupelo, Miss. 3&801) TWO SEAS—TWO WAYS OF LIFE The lowest spot in the world is the Dead Sea in the Holy Land. It is nearly 1300 feet below sea level. The Dead Sea contains approximately 20% solids as compared to about 3% for the oceans. The Dead Sea is supplied by the Jordan River. All the water which goes into the Dead Sea, with the exception of an occasional small show er, comes from the Jordan River. When I first tasted the water in the Dead Sea, it sent a terrible taste through out my body despite the fact that I had only touched my tongue with a couple of drops of water. The water on my hands soon dried, and I was forced to take soap and fresh water before I could remove the feeling which the dried Dead Sea water left. Sea of Galilee Just a few miles up from the Dead Sea is the Sea of Galilee. It is one of the most beautiful small bodies of water in the world. There is no salt in the water of the Sea of Galilee. A- round the Dead Sea hardly anything grows, but around the Sea of Galilee is one of the most fertile valleys in the world. Tht Jordan River is also the major source of water for the Sea of Galilee. The big difference in the two seas is that the Sea of Galilee takes water in and gives water out, while the Dead Sea only takes water in with no out let. The only way water can get out of the Dead Sea is for it to be taken out—through evaporation. There is a symbol of life in these two seas. The Dead Seat is exactly that —dead. It takes all the water in, but gives no water out. The Sea of Galilee takes water in and gives water out. The Sea of Galilee is surround ed by a living, growing, beautiful valley. The Dead Sea is surrounded by naked wilderness. So It Is With Life And so it is with life. The person who knows how to give as well as re ceive will find life to be beautiful. The person who knows only how to receive, and not how to give, will find line to be only a barren wilderness. One of the basic fundamentals of life is that we learn how to give. If we never learn this then we never really learn to live in a true sense of the word. Fve known people who only take, who hoard everything they get, who aren’t interested in anyone but them selves. And, on the other hand, I have also known people who know how to share what life passes on to them. I think you know the difference. I don’t particularly like to visit the Dead Sea, but I love very much to stand on the Mount of the Beautitudes and look over the beautiful Sea of Galilee. So it is with people. Those who only get and never give are never pleasant to be around. A person is thankful when he leaves their pre sence. But a person who can get and give finds he has people who truly love and appreciate his company. One other thing about the Dead Sea which I remember. It doesn’t smell too good. Perhaps there is a symbol ism there, also. But I will let you figure it out.—FIVE STAR Luke and St. Paul vs. Colony; May 18 Colony vs. Grace and St. Paul vs. St. Luke.

Remember this: * Seed Is Expensive Fertilizer Is Expensive Labor Is Expensive Taxes Are Expensive Renting Land Is Expensive Operating Machinery Is Expensive By the time your crop is in you have laid out a considerable amount of cash. And until harvest time you will continue to do so. Doesn't it make good sense to carry some insur ance so if hail strikes the year won't be a total disaster?
