Plana for a otate-wide cooperative rat control campaign are off to a good start. Daring the period November 1619, leaders in 43 counties of the (state met and made plans for in* tensive county campaigns. In two counties campaigns are already to.,progress, and a third county plans a campaign for early Jan|v uary to make the effort to get ^ rid of rats state-wide, fc Keynote speakers at the couqty |1 meetings were specialists of the J. Clemson Extension Service and representatives of the State -v f Health Department. Other speak| ers were county agents and rei presentatives of farm groups, voB cational agriculture teaohers, Far mers Home Administration, Soill Conservation Service, Agricultur-' al Stabilization and Conservation Committees, town and city authorities, commercial interests, and'j other ;roups interested in rat i control. In most counties the chairman of the county agricultu ral committee for the given i county presided. To help people become rat-control conscious, information and publicity programs will be conduct ??d both on county levels and on a state-wide basis. Posters calling attention to the need for control Uoff rats to prevent losses and ^ protect health are being placed at etratefie places. News articles 1 advertisements giving details | ef the pregram will be featured ?-? ill newspapers, radios and television stations will'present special Vttt control programs, wide distribution will be made of circulars K #std other printed materials which | give information and recommends kf* - tiew ia for rat control, and rep reI*? ! <!?? of the sponsoring a . ' ~f I? !> - ? BETWEEN 1 By Dean Gordon B. Hancock for ANP KARL MARX VERSES JESUS CHRIST There can be little doubt that 'he lines cue clearly-drawn beChrist. Marx would have us believe that life consists of the abundance of things a pan poss- ? esses; Jesus would have us be- " iieve that life is above things. Karl Marx would have us trust in human ingenuity; Jesus would have us trust our higher destinies to God whose plan encompasses the spiritual powers of man sobered by human obedience to diving 1 purposes. Karl Marx erivision'ed a world Christ envisioned a world, where men are brothers, walking together in love. Karl Marx's teaching posit a world of godlessness, while the teachine of Jesus nosit a world of Godliness. It is difficult to imagine that two such diametrically opposed ideals. oUife can have peaoful j co-existence. One of these ideologies must be overthrown. Two ?:<hgs cannot sit, upon one throne nor can two heads wear the same crown. Today, it is Karl Marx or Jesus Christ?even as in the days gone by, it was Jesus or Barabbas. The people preferred Barabbas, but the r.ejected Jesus rules_ today. _ So it may choose Karl Marx today, but Christ will rule tomorrow. Jesus conquered- the Roman empire and he will con[ quer the Marxian mepire. Strang ley enough Marxism claims to | be motivated in a world brotherLEood, -even as Christianity claims \ Marxism is bidding for world?, | wide dominion even as Christianity is bidding. ^ Marxism lays claims to ushering in a reign of universal peace, even Christianity promises the dawning of a day when the | ' lion and the lamb shall lit down j' I together, when the now war-mad ( I nations will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears , ' into purning hooks, when the dogs , of -war will hush their weird ' barking and the wren and swallow will build their nest in a | cannon's mouth. whenT peaci eter na! and supernal will reign in ?the earth among toe nai?ons. j In other wj-.ds, Marxism is trying to -stjil Christianity's j stuff. When Moses was in the courts of P.haroah, pleading for deliverance of his people, he -became wpnder worker number one. As he stood before Pharoah, he cast forth his rod and it became a serpent in the royal presence;' but magicians of Pharoah could match Moses in the turning of rods into serpents. But the whole display occasion was ended when Moses' serpena swallowed- the serpent of the magicians of Phar-' oah. ) And so it will be in the end of t the present bitter fight between communism and Christianity.1 Christianity will swallow com-' muni8m. mere can dc no pence ful co-existence, Eisenhower's) pronouncements to the contrary, j ! But Christianity cannot stem the I tide of communism merely by pronouncements and edict. It is easy going to take a mighty Christianity, marshale i in all its | might to beat back' the forces, ar*vi s'ed by communism. Just as a house divided against itself cannot stand, neither can ' Christianity divided against itself stand". A segregated Christian- | 'ity j cannot withstand the impact of a united communism; and so the segregationists who have eter j [ nualize segregation in the world, are wording with the forces of communist game when they preach the gospel of segregation in the land. It is getting high "time that we ]pok beyond the limits of races and regions and even nations; it : | gcncies and groups will promote , the program through their res- I pective contacts. / Materials for use in poisoning rats will be available at seed and feed stores and other stores or businesses which carry farm' supplies. In some counties additional distribution ^points are . being arranged in order to make it convenient for farm people to secure poisons. People of both urban and rural areas are being urged to cooperate in the program. Clemson Extension Circulars. 306, Kill Rats, and 386, Warfar-j. in Kills Rats and Mice, are avail- i able at offices of county agents |1 or may be obtained from thej Clemson Publications Depart- ! ment. ~ r=z=r~??th > i HE LINES is about time we viewed this matter from a world standpoint. This nation must decide whether it will expose itself to communist subjugation by indulging the segregationists, or will deal firmly yjfh thfa QHtgrnwn rnnnana ta_da nocracy and Christianity. The current fight between com nunism and Christianity is bigger t.han?the?inter-racial quanel etweeen the seggregationists and he integrationists," even bigger han the quarrels among the naions. The issue presently drawn s between two world forces and letween two ideologies bidding 'or world dominion, and not nerely an issue of who goes to school where, or who shall sit where on ?our common carriers^ Negroes irf their fight must thank jod eternally for involving their ispirations with world issues. "This is t.he Lord's doing!' In This Our Day M|||||?ji^t B> Ry Reverend C. A. Chick, Sr. 'GOD'S, I Nai'EAKABbfi GIFT" -When I was a lad in Newberry County, South Carolina,_ quite a popular slogan at Christmas time 'Christmas comes hut once a year. Everybody w$nts his share. 1 fear- the foregoing slogan expresses the feelings of far too many people, yes?Christian people, rcgarding Christmas. Individuals as well as business concerns generally check up at the end of the calendar year Christmas time to see have the "cleaded" or "lost'1 anything during the year. . 0rK ir other words, check up to see whether or not they have made oi lost money during the year. Christmas is also a time whcr many people majke it -a point tc purchase for themselves an auto mobile, new clothing, something for the home, or a new home, 01 remodel the old home, etc. Then are those who genearlly treai themselves to a trip somewhere during the "Christmas season.' Many will exchange presents .wit! their relatives and friends. And there are those who will simph "e&t, drink and _ he merry." I' most certainly is not the pbrposi of this article to. speak disparag ingly regarding any of the fon going so long as they arc kep within the bounds of reason. But if we give material gifts ex pecting to receive material gift! in return then it is my considere< opinion that.we have sadly misse< the real meaning and significant of Christmas.' It is not primarlj a time^of receiving, but instead it is one of giving. "God so lovet the world that he gave His onlj begotten Son." God gave His best His most precious. And, He wai prompt to do so because of Hi; great love for a sinful and los world. Thus, unless we give sonn mas time to someone who is unablt to give a material gift, we shal have denied ourselves the real joi of the Christmas season. What a bout making a gift to some mother less and or fatherless child, or ai o^cu iiccucu j;cj nun, wi handicaped person?. What ahou making a gift at Christmas tinn to some Christian organizatioi that the Gospel of Jesus Chris may be preached to the mani human beings who have neve; heard those beautiful and glorioui words: "Glory to God in the high est, and on earth peace, goodwiT toward men." Then, best of all, why not in ap preciation to God the Father foi His unspeakable gift to a wicket world, present ourselves and oui lives to Him. The greatest gifl that we can give at this seasor of the year, or any other time, foi that matter, is to show our' love for God and all mankind.

Eleazer, Clemson Exten , sion Information Specialist : FISH BAITS -?( Clemson Rets several hundred ? requests a year from fishermen at over the state wanting .jnforma- r tion about live baits. They rae answered with copies of Fishery a Leaflet 28, of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service,, entitled "Fish rar Baits ? Their Collection, Care. Preparation, and Propagation.} Your county agent usually has a few copies on hand. But if he is out, you can get them from us here at Clemson. ** The fish-bait business has m grown a lot in recent years. The ?* old way of running down grass- P* hoppers, crawling around on _ the ^c straw hunting crickets, and digging for worms doesn't appeal to . the modern fisherman much. In.|n| fact, during the past four dry years, these sources of bait all ' but dried up. Now many confirm ^ ed .fishermen grow their own ?* bait. And quite a few make a business out of-it,? ?r? ? ,n _' ' _ _ bv NATUlRE PROVIDES th When the storm king blows, great trees .often go down, while w a slender weed will sometimes s* _atJUiiL_: ? ~. .' ^ I saw this after the great ^ .storm Hazel laid waste to our bi .

Both of these are hearty plants , i and respond well to a little at-" ^ 1 tention. Surely no southern home ] i should be without them. I'racti- , ? 1 cally no insects upr diseases both j er. them.

Water conservation for use .has become the 3 livest of farm subjects in South I Carolina-.' Gounty agents are hob! ing irrigation schools. At the morning session the experts llis cuss the whole wide range of j water conservation and use. Then in the afternoons the group gets - out on a tour where pond 4nrilding, irrigation in operation, etc., | are seen. I Experiment stations in this 1 and other Southeastern States . sent your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service,'' V - ro lbadmi ive multiplied their efferU ards getting the answers about ficient water use on crops. The 1 men, Clemson engineers, and unty agents are up to their ears servicing calls to farms retive to irrigation. So, at long last, our greatest ideveloped production potential, lyplejnentary irrigation,to Tie nping to come firmly into the rm picture. It carries a meare of yield insurance that our irvesis haven't had before. And hen that is done we will be in r better po$/<1&#i to cope with odern expenses that show little any signs of lessening.

One afternoon I saw our1 ma- ? strate, Mr. Tom Raught, comg down Gervais Street pushing ?e of those old side-arm cotton anters, with his bundles in the , pper. They put it in the bagige car.

Once my father went to town ith me, as we had right much lopping to do. One of the things e got was our first of those ttle sheet iron heaters, "trash irners" we called 'em. It was ght and held about two bushels, o we just , carried it. As we lopped we put the bundles in^it. j ain, the conducter, saw us com ig with that stove.^ To have a ttle fun he said, "Hey there, hat you going to do with that :ove? You can't put it in there.
