C. * sowing rom in the Town Hall, 1 ht ftrs^ day was given over to cutting 1 and fitting the coats and finishes were given the second day. Along with this, Miss Gilliam gave many suggestions for old coats. Spring coats ' that were too short were combined with new material for skirt and a new collar or scarf for the coat resulting in an attractive ensemble. Coats of light weight woolens were ' converted into attractive dresses. Short coats in hip, finger-tip and three-quarter length were cut from old ones. (Separate skirts that may be worn with sweaters and blouses wore made from old coats of medium weight. . Miss Gilliam gave many practical suggestions for the care of clothing. She taught the ladies how to make the "best type of press cloth and, tailor's' cushion. This cushion is hej'rful for pressing curved or shaped sfatps, shoulders and tops of sleeves. She also gave directions for making a sleeve board which ip indispensable to the woman who does her own sewing. ' ~ " ~ " ----There were lessons in removing shine from woolen materials, pressing, pattern cutting and fitting.

A chec^ of election returns disclosed that many of the 1,220 precincts scheduled to be the scene of referendum activity apparently did not function. in Kershaw county, officials said two of the 26 general election boxes were not called for. Fairfield, with two legislative seats also at stake, voted only In 14 precincts when state election officials had said the county was entitled to 20. Doubt was expressed In a number of ofhcr counties as to whether small, unreported boxes hud been voted. South Carolina's "quark-a-month" law will become operative again as soon as national prohibition repeal, already favored by 30 states, becomes j an accomplished fact. Under the law, male residents over 21 years of age may, after securing a permit from the probate judge, import not more than one quart of whiskey a month. Women aro not permitted to import their quart unless thoy can show they are heads of families. ; Vote by Counties No. Pets. Pets. Rptd. Wet Dry Abbeville ....

V . . - Governor Lauds The Building and Loans "I can't recall where a real buildin# and loan association ever became bankrupt," said Governor Ibra C. Blackwood in addressing the more than lf>0 members of the .South Carolina Building and Loan institute at its second annual meeting in Columbia .yesterday,* Ho paid a very high tribute to building and loan as a business, saying, < "It tilts humanity's greatest need by furnishings people homes which they may call their own." His speech, which was full of interest and instruction, was roeeived with a rising vote of thanks and prolonged applause. Mayor L. B. Owens welcomed the delegates and visitors in a very appropriate speech and Dean George E. Olson of the University of SodthCarolina, by invitation, explained the workings and advantages that accrue to building and loan, people of the country through the study courses and chapters of the American Build- , ing and Loan institute. Chapters of this institute have. recently been formed in several Southern states, including one at Durham, N. C., and the members of the stato institute are considering a chapter at some point in South Carolina. * The annual address by Dr. C. B. Whilden, the retiring president, was conceded to have been one of the strongest building and loan messages delivered recently in this state, and the report of E. O.'? Black, educational director, together with the open forum discussion which he conducted thereafter, delved deoply and intelligently into building and loan practical affair? of the day. The concensus of opinion was: That the building and loan has a future; that the building and loan is the only logical and feasible plan by which tho ordinary working or salaried person can acquire a home; that the man who does not want to be bothered I with monthly payments usually does | not want to pay at all; that the probj lem of restoration of families to their homes is ^he greatest problem of today; that every building and loan should make small loans for repairs and modernization Work, provided worthy borrowers are available; that every building and loan should try' to put men back to work and at the same tim<? try to keep families in their homes. Many vital questions concerning the every day workings of the associations over the state were asked and answered through the Question Box. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: | John F. Clarkson, president, New! berry; T. C. Whetsell, vice president, jNew Brookland; iS. S. McCullough, vice president, Chester; C. W. 'Stikeleather, vice president, Florence; W. Bobin Zemp, vice president, Camden; E. O. Black, educational director, Columbia. The directors for the ensuing year are to be chosen by the above officers." .The meeting, which followed a j luncheon in the Crystal dining room, } Hotel Columbia, was opened with ' prayer by Dr. It. C. Betts and was featured by a group of songs by Mrs. : William H. Hopson, accompanied by ; Mrs. E. O. Black.?'Wednesday's State. Senior 4-H Club To Meet On Saturday !
