Chamber Holds
March Meeting
Report HeaWOn Effort
Being Mode To Estab
lish Shirt Factory In
This Areo.
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.

I evening at Florida Street school in
!the baby show sponsored by the

were presented JACKIE FRANKS
and BILL ROBERTS as the winners.
Jackie, wearing a Mae West hat and
a blue-flowered sheer organdy dress,
delighted the audience with a clever
recitation of one of Miss West’s fa
mous sayings. Little Bill Pitts, son of
Mr. and Mrs. William Pitts, and Mar
tha Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
L. M. Wilson, seemed to enjoy them
selves very much, and were quite
unaware of the audience. After the

ment store.

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.
