July 23.—Governor J. Strom Thurmond has proclaimed the week of July 24-30 as Farm Safety Week in South Carolina. This period is being observed as National Farm Safety Week by the National Safety Council, and Governor Thurmond in his proclamation urges farm people in this state to cooperate in its ob servance. He points out that rapidly increas ing farm mechanization brings ad ditional accident hazards to farm op erators: that more accidents occur on South Carolina farms than in South Carolina industry: and that manv needless hazards can be prevented by each farm adopting an annual safety program. “I request all persons and organ izations engaged in agriculture to do everything in their power to educate farm people in the proper precau tions for eliminating farm hazards and to stimulate a state-wide deter mination to stop needless waste of farm manpower and property," Gov ernor Thurmond says. “I further urgently request that all farm people observe National Farm Safety Week in South Caro lina by making a safety check of all hazards in their homes and on their farms and each accept the respon sibility for eliminating at least one possible source of accidents during the period,” he adds. G. H. Stewart, leader, Clemson Agricultural Engineering Extension Work and chairman of the South Carolina Farm Safety Program com mittee. points out that farm mechan ization. while a large contributing factor, is by no means responsible for all the farm accidents. He say* that more farm people" are injured in accidents in the home than anywhere else on the farm; that an imals account for one out of four farm work accidents: and that folks in the home and around the farm stead lead in the list o! m.shaps. "During Farm Sa'ety Week, farm people should review all phases of accident prevention as a means of encouraging -afe practice* i'n the farm 52 weeks a year,” he declares. Sam Sawdust And Mr. Secretary sped your records and reports. Sam Sawdust: All this expense will come out of the U. S. treasury too, I suppose. Mr. Secretary: Yes, of course. Sam Sawdust: Now suppose the plan is not adopted, then we would have no paper work, no bookkeeping, no affidavits,.no surveys, no clinics, no experts, no fieldmen, no fussin’, no cussin,’ no headache, and of course—no subsidy. Is that right? Mr. Secretary: Yes, if vou want to use that kind of language. Sam Sawdust: That’s not the kind I would like to use, but it is the best I can do on short notice. Meeting adjourned.

Before me m the aud.enre 1 see my old fr.end Sam Sawdust. Now Sam. 1 know, a a poultryman and among the products he sells are eggs; so 1 will use this commodity-srggs—to explain to you how the plan works. Sam has been getting 50 cents a dozen for his eggs, and under the plan this is considered to be a fair price, and Sam must continue to get 50 cents a dozen; so we will peg that as the minimum pr.ee Sam shall re ceive for hi* eggs. But in the meantime the market price for eggs falls so that the con sumer is now paying only 40 cents a dozen for them. So look at how the plan works; Sam is still getting 50 cents a dozen and the consumer is only paying 40 cents a dozen, so ev erybody is happy. Sam Sawdust: Mr. Secretary, let me ask a question. Won’t I have to do a lot of bookkeeping, fill out a lot of forms and make affidavits, etc? Mr. Secretary: Well Sam there will be a little paper work no doubt, but look at your subsidy. Sam Sawdust: But won’t it cost a lot to operate this plan? Mr. Secretary: Of course the plan will have to be implemented and ad ministered. but consider your subsi dy. Sam Sawdust: Tell us what a sub sidy is. Mr. Secretary: In your case it is the difference between the amount you receive—50 cents.—and the amount the consumer pays—40 cents—mak ing 10 cents a dozen as your part of the subsidy. Sam Sawdust: Who pays this 10 1 cents? Mr. Secretary: It comes out of the subsidy. Sam Sawdust: I see; well where does the subsidy come from? Mr. Secretary: Why out of the U. S. treasury, of course. ‘ Sam Sawdust: And where does the U. S. treasury get it from? Mr. Secretary: Sam, you ought to know; it comes from you and the consumer. Sam Sawdust: Well, well. Mr. Secretary: If this plan is adop ted the department will immediate ly set up a widespread system of sur veys and clinics manned by experts who will tell you not only what to do in order to come under the plan, but how and when to do it. The de partment will also have an adequate number of fieldmen, for your con- venieno* of course, to check and in- SUMEREL’S One lot Women’** White INDIAN MOCCASINS S1.98 Regular $3.98 One Table Women's SANDALS, PLAY SHOES $1.00 Regular $4.98 All WOMEN’S DRESS SHOES I $4.98 Values to $8.95 One lot two-tone, white and brown, and ventilated Shoes— SHOES FOR MEN $4.98 Regular $8.95 * LADIES’ PANTIES Rayon — Regular 79c and 98c 3 Pr. for $1.00 One Special Group BLOUSES $1.00 Regular $4.98 VICSON SLIPS Pink and White $2.50 Regular $3.98 One Lot NYLON SLIPS Pink and White.
