A YOUNGSTER
NEEDS PRAISE

A summer recreation program
without the moral support of parents
borders on the verge of being worth
less.
Every effort is being made to pro-
vide local youngsters with recrea-
ton program that will not only keep
them occupied in their spare time
but will build leadership and char
acter.
Last year, the activities were var
led. Each day the Fairgrounds were
filled with youngsters wanting to Join
in the competitive games.
From this groundwork we can ex-
pect our leaders of tomorrow. Yet,
it seems that most parents are too
busy to give their children the moral
support so vital to inSuring a success
full program.
We are fortunate that only few
of our local youngsters fall into the
category of juvenile delinquents. The
best way to maintain this enviable
plane of living is to support recrea-
tional activities that are planned and
supervised.
Few parents see the actual need
for attending baseball games. They
are often scheduled in the middle of
the afternoon and it takes too much
effort to rush to the ball park after
putting in a tireSome day at the office
or store.
While it may seem too much
trouble and not really necessary to
the parents, it is vital to their chill
dren. Who can deny the pride a
youngSter takes in making a difficult
catch on the ball field? The achieve
ment builds itself into wonderful
feat if the lads parents are in the
stands shouting word or two OF
encouragement.
1t won't take much of your time
and it's one OF those things that you,
as parent, should be proud to
watch.
Incre are many parents in the
world who will never see their child

ed tomatoes did not. High winds and
prolonged drought ruined the vast
majority of the Florida tomato crop.
But the Ocala farmers plants were
kept wet with his mechanical rain
and a beautiful crop resulted.
Last week he picked those 20 acres
for the first time and while his neigh
bors salvaged only few good quality
products, he came up with 220O
bushels of choice tomatoes. On the
market he sold them for $40
bushel, thanks largely to the short
crop all over the country. He carried
home 1892 for his first picking
and he still has some good weeks
ahead. A right handsome income from
20 acres, we would say.
And then there's Ben Gardner who
is going to buy cucumbers and pep
perS here later this month. Last year
Ben had over a hundred acres of
cucumbers, beans and other truck
crops at Walterboro, S. G.. He didn't
do very well because of the drought.
This week he was up here looking
over the local cuke crop. We asked
him about his 1875 acres of cucumbers
that he personally has at Walterboro
this year.
He gave us the story. He has water
ed them every week that they needed
1t and has in his own words the
prettiest field of cucumber l have
ever seem" He went on to say that
he would not take $4,000 bill for
the cucumbers that he will harvest
this season if hail or some other dis
aSter doesn't hit him. He has been
picking cucumbers for about ten days
and has another two weeks to pick.
The cold spring weather, dryness
and winds have made truck crops ex-
tremely scarce and those who have
good quality produce now in volume
are making wonderful profits.
Now we point out these incidents
not to build anyone's hopes so high
that nothing will make them happv
other than getting rich. But simply
TO emphasize that good money can
be made on food crops. 1t takes a
lot Of planning and irrigation is ex
tremcly important. But when Won
come along with a good crop while
the rest OF the growers fail. Won can
hit the jackpot.
There is strong indications that
those farmers in this area who have
good tomato, pepper and cucumber
crops Will do we'll this year. Far too
many farmers failed to get their Gu
cumbcrS planted. Some got a Door
stand and didn't bother to repIan.
Those few who kept plugging awav
IN an effort to grow a crop. NAV
lInd that what they do have VIZ;
worth the effort.
Anyhow, they will start coming IN
market in couple of weeks and we
nave our fingers crossed - we want
the farmer to make a sizeable profit
that Will not have made his efforts
in vain.

Lots of bright sunlight may
have been good for your soul

skin like a snake each year.
In that way we could have our

and quickly return to the
lighter coloring which goes
best with winter clothing.
The dark brown skin which
was so attractive with whites
and pastels will not look so
well against the darker shades

unwittingly, in their destruction.
The plight of many of the en-
dangered species, highlighted dur
ing Wildlife Week, is one of the
final outgrowths of our abuses of
the basic soil, water and plant
resources.
Few realize that there are less
than 800 grizzly bears left in the
u. S., and that these largest of
our carnivores could easily be
lost from the few remaining areas
where they are now making a
last stand. In Wyoming, which
has a vivid history of grizzlies,
there are now less than SO, but
the species is still carried as a
predator under an outdated law
that sactions y~ear-round hunting
and poisoning. The grizzly cannot
live close to man; he needs I'M
developed areas such as those
found in u wilderness and parks
that are dedicated, among other
things, to the preservation of
wildlife. We would be guilty of
gross neglect if, after establishing
wild areas for his perpetuation,
we write off the grizzly because
of our failure to protect and
manage him properly.
The destruction of the Ever
glade kite is imminent because his
marshland habitat is being drain
ed, eliminating the one species of
snail this bird requires for food.
Once found throughout Florida,
there r. less than so in this
country today.
Also facing extinction is the
desert bighorn sheep. Here the
need for intensive game range
management is necessary to pre-
vent poaching and competition
with domestic livestock on critical
ranges. Encroachment by the mil
itary seeking ranges for gunnery
practice and poison gas expert
ments, threatens to wipe out some
of the last herds in New Mexi-
co and Nevada.
The tiny white-tailed deer of
the Florida Keys is another that
has suffered severely from in
vasion of its home. In the past
poachers, who used dogs and fire
to drive this diminutive deer into
the water where they were
slaughtered from boats, reduced
the remnant herd to 80 animals in
1949. Active protection has now
increased this number to 1870.
The whooping crane is hanging
by as thin a thread as any of our
endangered wildlife. Last sum-
mer's favorable nesting season,

restored with proper and immedi-
ate protection. A good example
is the trumpeter swan that has
been restored from a low OF less
than 100 birds to a flock now
numbering more than 600 through
the establishing of a waterfowl
refuge in the center of its yell
lowstone breeding ranges.
There are many other animals
which can be added to this group:
the grayling of Montana's noun
tain lakes and streams; the black
footed ferret and kit fox of the
western prairies; the gray and
red wolves which are still being
bountied on some of the few
ranges where they r left. How
much better it would be to save
some of these fascinating animals
so that the younger generations
might have the experience of
glimpsing them in their natural
wild state rather than behind the
bars of a Zoo.
Living space is the major need
of endangered wildlife in this
country today. Spiraling human
populations and demands upon
the land will tend to crowd it
into even smaller quarters. To
prevent this, we must be prepar-
ed to meet the arguments of those
who will justify the destruction
of remnant wildlife populations
in the name of progress. We must
also be ready to ask ourselves
whether the complete elimina-
ton of something which has be-
come so important to u way of
living can be called progress and
whether we are willing to take
a stand in its defense.
We must be prepared to enter
the political arena at the local,
state and national levels, for it
is here that many of the most
important decisions relating to
the use of our natural resources
are reached.
Don't let this vital portion of
our heritage be eliminated COM
pletely and forever because a
few short-sighted individuals
have their WI axes to grind
at the expense of all of US.
