The monthly meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce was held Tuesday evening with President L. E. Bishop presiding. An enjoyable feature of the eve ning was a musical program given by a sextet of the Music club com posed of Mrs. Heath Copeland, Mrs. Leila Johnson, Miss Lois Blakely, Miss Collette Griffin, Miss Alice Gaines, and Miss Pauline HartseU. Mrs. William Brooks Owens was the accompanist at the piano. President Bishop announced that according to the by-laws, officers for the coming year would be elect ed at the April meeting. He an nounced the following nominating committee to bring in rofommenda- tions for officers and directors: R. L. Plaxico, C. C. Giles, W. H. Simp son, Dr. D. O. Rhame, Jr,, and R. E. Ferguson. D. F. Patterson and G. Miller Mc- Cuen of the Laurens Business league, and members of the Laurens-Clin- ton Metropolitan district committee, were guests of the club. R. E. Ferguson, speaking for the Metropolitan district commitee, gave what information he possessed on a proposed shirt factory to be located either in Clinton or in the area con necting Clinton and Laurens. He re ported that a ,conference had been held the past week with representa tives of the New York concern who are anxious to locate in this section and for which the community would be expected to cooperate with finan cial assistance. He stated that in his judgment the proposal is a sound business proposition. We are contin uing our investigation, he added, and hope to have a definite plan of pro cedure in the near future. He stated that the conunittee desired to locate jthe building between the towns if a 'building could be provided, but that Iso far such plans had not material ized. Dr. W. P. Jacobs called upon by the president, expressed the opinion I that the proposition appears sovmd since it is a going concern with a well established trade. He expressed the hope that if the enterprise is I landed that it might be located be tween the two towns. Dr. Jacobs 'also stated that a survey is being I made by the state planning board in connection with the defense program and that he had been assured Laur ens county would be surveyed in the near future to ascertain its resources and advantages to be offered. 1 President Patterson of the Laurens j organization, expressed his hearty approval of the effort being made by the Metropolitan district commit tee and promised a hearty coopera tion on the part of his town.

Bums, State Director i > r*****************'********^************************** T. M. Pinson Of Cross Hill Passes Prominent Citizen, Farmer and Merchant Succumbs To Illness. T. Miller Pinson, 69, well known Cross Hill citizen, died at his home Monday morning after being in de clining health for some time. Funerab services were conducted from the residence Tuesday after noon at 3 o’clock by his pastor, the Rev. J. H. Byrd, and the Rev. J. E. Ratchford and Rev. D. W. Keller. In terment followed in Liberty brings chqrchyard cemetery. Mr. Pinson was a native of the Siloam section of the county, the son of James S. Pinson and Mrs. Janie Miller Pinson. As a yoimg man he located in Cross Hill where he was a large farmer, merchant and cotton buyer. He was a deacon of the Bap tist church and tc»k an active inter est in its work. On February 6, 1895, Mr. Pinson was married to Miss Lucia Calhoun, also of the Siloam church commu nity, and she with the following children survive hkn: three sons, (Calhoun, Manning and Ernest Pin son, all of Chross Hill; one sister, Mrs. Alma Leaman, of Augusta; two grandchildren and a number of niec es and nephews. Feminine beauty is not based on silly whims, as most men would have you believe, but rather on current political events, major situations which effect the world as a whole, and often on popular books and plays. This is the statement of Miss Maud Geer, well known beauty salon own er of Clinton, who is making prepa rations to attend the world’s largest beauty trade convention, the Inter national Beauty Show, being held in New York City on March 17 through March 20 at the Hotel Pennsylvania. “In 1917 and 1918, coiffurca fol lowed the general emotions of the public,” said Miss Geer. “Hair was extravagantly dressed, and beauty effects were carried to an extreme. Today, however, there is a definite move afoot to eliminate active and harmful hysteria, and this influence is readily seen in the new spring hair styles.” According to Miss Geer, the pom padour will continue in favor because it reaches up from the head, symbols izing the desire to attain a higher level. Waves and «mdulations will be seen in profusion because they de note a calm, serene way of living. The very fact that industry is in creasing its activities and that every business in the country feels a new impetus is seen in the shorter colf- fiu^s which are designed for flatter ing practicality with stress on beauty of line. Miss Geer further stated an ama teur historian of beauty could give an adequate report of the world’s progress by scanning a series of pic tures of fashionable women over the ages. Periods of intensity and conflict bring with them coiffures that reflect these feelings . . . styles with masses of tight curls and intricate pattern. Eras of peace and calm bear casual coiffures, while years such as 1941, during which people “keep their chins up,” result in perhaps the love liest of all styles broause there is a concentrated ^ort to preserv« beau ty in every phase of living. —Adv. rrs CHILDREN’S WEEK AT D17T OHiLiJV O EASTER’SJffiWESt FOR BOYS AND GIRLS 9 SALE Girls* dainty washable silk prints charming idain c<d- All new pastels.
