Friday, March IB, 1934 The Hot School Lunch << Too many children can truthfully Hay: o|?a warms the milk for the little calf, Ma heats the food for the chicks They have a hot dinner at noontime, too, V - l >> But my lunch is a> cold as bricks. Fortunate is the child who has something hot at noon. Often he eats a hurried and insufficient breakfast, carries only sandwiches, cake., pit* and cookies in his lunch box and j Comes home at night to eat a suppei of bread and butter, sauce and cookies , or cake. This gives an unbalanced! diet. When there is no supervision, there will be many a noon-day meal . (ft the "hot-dog," peanuts, candy and ice cream cone variety-"-a diet that is. sure to mean malnutrition for your child. .Many mothers do not realize that malnutrition does not necessarily mean that a child does not have enough food but very .often means that the child is not getting the right kind of food. With a scant breakfast and a "hog-dog" lunch to build on, the child cannot get the balance of bis daily food requirements in the evening meal. The project of \\ "hot school lunch" in every school in Kershaw county j which has been started will bo of Vital interest to every community and should receive the full support; and cooperation of each individual.; This program has been made possible by supplies and funds furnished by lv,,. i .

One puts the paper aside with a fording of depression and heartache tl*it , the world is so full of terrible and unhappy things. Then picking up the papers that record the happenings of the little towns around us, one gains renewed faith in life. Here are set forth only that which ujuifts a corntnuniiy the activities of the business men, the church items. the happy social gatherings of the people, the marriages, births and deaths, farmer.-' items, and till the ihou-and and one daily occurrence that make up 'he simple anna.'.- * '* tl,f great common people, who are really tie- foundation of thibioad eountrx of our-.

'j ? Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, March 18. The House of Representative# passed the soldiers' ho mils hill yesterday by a majority of more than two to one, having gotten entirely Beyond the control of the Democratic leaders who opposed in accordance with the wishes of the administration. What action the Senate will take is undetermined, but even if it should pass there a veto awaits at the White House. The President does not believe its enactment is necessary at this time, and would he inadvisable in view of the enormous expenditures for relief. Passage through Congress by a twothirds majority over a veto is- believed impossible, so the matter is I practically settled for this session. The hill was^in no sense a partisan meaCU'C, lithcta now or at any time : in the past. Many advocates realized that there was no chance for final success, but this being election year, desired to go on record so as to square themselves with veteran constituents. * * * * Before taking stops to cahcel ull airmail contracts President Roosevelt was advised that ar4?ty . fftlprs could successfully carry the maili, but the assurance proved to be distressingly erroneous. Ten pilots have lost their lives since the change went into effect, four while actually in charge of mail and the others when making preparations, so an executive order was issued calling a halt, and pending more definite arrangements only limited routes will be operated, over the more congested sections. There has been no 'whimpering in army circles over the tragic toll of lives lost, as I in the a: my cidmltfe.- of service are] n-garded a-, all in a day's work. A ,i.MYrcnt -lory Would have been told . hud there been time to train the army . pilot-., with opportunity for them to tie. oine familiar with the routes, and; had the change not become effective . dui ing extraordinarily rough wcathci.. Legislation is now under consideration for the return of airmail to private .Vmpanic-, under a system tnat . would prevent recurrence of. condi- ( tion> >v Inch led to th?' cancellation of contracts last month. Pi lisidont Roosevelt exercised hi.s veto power for the first time in a most commendable instance by refusing to approve a bill restoring the privileges bf B. M. Ham, an army deserter of Oklahoma. The man had been cited for bravery while in the service, but it had become necessary j to discharge him dishonorably in , P.H9. In he was permitted to . re-enlist so that he might terminate | his military career, honorably, hut de- i serteTwithin six months, ami thereby forfeited all claim for consideration. President Roosevelt has appointed' K'to-er.ce K. Allen, of Ohio, a judge I of the 1'nitcd States Circuit ourt of Appeals, the fir-t designation of a woman to that branch of service. She ha-, long been prominent in her state, where -he now a judge in the upper court. Tliis appointment is in accor?lance with the policy of the ad- ( ministration to recognize women where >uitab!e opportunity presents it>elf. Some thirty women now till positions mostly in the executive Service. about a half a dozen being in ; the higher grades. '* Twenty states have approved an, addition to the constitution of the. Cnited States, generally called the i "child labor" amendment. Sixteen j more would be necessary, and while , not likely as the matter stands, it j is becoming possible. The proposition was once rejected by the legislature of South Carolina. Recent favorable action by several states has. been due to the depression, so that j nu re work may be taken from young people and p-ov ided for older ones j :.,.w out of employment.

Many other brooders have been built in the county and the same brooding and feeding methods used, us the result of the 4-dfl club project. Visitors by numbers stop to see those flocks of chicks and ask questions regarding their management. The average mortality loss among the chicks during the first five weeks of brooding has been held to a minimum in most-of the flocks. The average loss in the county is very small which is most gratifying to the extension workers, Miss Neely and Miss Sadie (h'uig, as well as to the club members themselves. The club members visited by the extension workers wore: Marguerite Anderson, Peggy Holland, Emily McCoy, Lena Elliott and Elizabeth McCoy. Tho members have been careful in carrying out ^j^truotions *in brooding, feeding and sanitation, and as a result the chjcks have made rapid growth. Those chicks; receiving the most constant supply of clabber or buttermilk as a supplementary feed to the home-mixed mash, have made more rapid development. Regular, even temperature in brooding has been another important factor*" in decreasing losses and in promoting growth, says Miss Neely. All dub members are urged to .contimie practicing strict methods in sanitation and a continuation of milk feeding with the home-mixed mash ration. I f .sufficient. milk i- not available the mash should he mixed as follows: 100 pounds yellow corn im-altoO pounds wheat shorts; J5 pounds fish meal; (5 1-1 poundsdried butter milk; 1 3-1 pounds salt. Plenty of sunshine is recommended, also some green feed each day. With continued success the club members expect to have plenty of broilers and | fryers for the market in about five weeks from this date. _J? Annual Banquet Of Legion Held On last Monday evening after the regular monthly meeting of the James Leroy Belk Post those in attendance went to the dining room, at Hotel Camden where a bountiful banquet was served to around eighty men.

"Today Lincoln was eulogized in the Senate, and I could not wonder, if the armies of the South had been victorious rather than the armies of the North, whether there would have been the same praise given to Davis.' Davis and Lincoln, born but a few miles apart, and only a year separating the beginning of their lives, both in humble circumstances, rose to the greatest height of the oau-e they rep- | resented.
