Much has been accomplished up to this time?more than was thought could be accomplished in so short a time, when the work was first undertaken ?but there is yet a larger work to be done, and the co-operation of all the people of the state I hope will be freely given. j Many of the counties of the state | have already been organized, and | county natural resources commissions ! chosen. This work has been under J ; the direction of W. W. Smoak, chalri man oif the county organization committee, and already a meeting of the county units of the Pee Dee district has been held at Kingstree. More than half the counties of the state have been organized up to this time, and the work is getting steadily forward. Inquiries are coming into the office of the Natural Resources commission asking for a list of the tanneries of the state, whose products are wanted in the goiter regions. During the past several days the South Carolina canners and the representatives of the creameries have met with Doctor Weston, managing director, and perfected plans for the , use of the iodine label. Newspapers and magazines over I the country are carrying the story. The work has gone forward rapidly, the people of the state are behind it more unanimously than they have been behind any other movement and , the entire nation is now taking notice. j I Miss Ruth Laughlin, 24, and Paul L.
