On thai ?l sort of "vltllea" men cleared the for eaia and mumped the fields. Men - were men In those days. Hut now, [ forsooth, what have we? l>uugtiler, In her lurn, la a housekeeper. And ' she serves whal? Why bread from a ' bakery, and It must be sliced at the , bakery! Too much labor to slice a loaf of bread. Soou the baker will be asked to chew It. too. My word! Oh time, oh customs! Daughter will run around the stores two hours, to avoid thirty minutes of work at home. The ladles, bluss 'em, are now running all about for shelled nuts rather that devote thirty minutes to shelling u few Women used to earn their way as housekeepers, now they spend their way. -what? Well, this Is getting In pretty deep, for this Is deep stuff. Poor old mother used to bake for Christmas oh, my!?fruit cakes, light and dark, cocoanut cakes, tnince ides, potato cuslard pies - and all that; but Daughter bios a cake, or buys the ingredients already mixed, If she can spare the time from the clubs. And the old man, now ,?how does he fare? Does he come to the table with a buoyant step like Alexander conquering the world? Nay nay; he slides in gently and quaffs his tomato Juice, munches a transparent piece of toast, sips a swallow of coffee and j goes forth Into the battle of life ready to compromise or surrender. Too bad! I've read that the tnlnd Is clearer if the body be stinted of food; that when one fasts he has visions and dreams dreams; that "the imagination bodies forth in forms of things unseen"?and so on, you know. All of which suggests that ninety per cent of all the vague, unfounded socalled thinking of today Is due to poor nourishment. After all is said and done, you can't lick the world under the inspiration of a gulp of sour kraut "likker." Nowreal old "pot-llkker", with a chunk of cornbread and a hunk of "side-meat" ?now that's another story. Yes. men were men in those days. They could "take It." as the elegant language of today would phrase it. We. poor weaklings of robust parents, if we eat ten cents worth of real grub we spend I ten dollars for physicians and physic. It's a sad thought, mates. "What we must do to save the country is to do away with breakfast illusions and eat more ham and hominy. The old-time mother! Wasa t she a queen in her kitchen? She ditin t boss her old man, nor run the farm, nor manage the church, nor direct the clubs. Hut didn't she rise to heights of supreme splqndor in her kitchen? What feasts she provided! Sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters from far and wide remember her dishes and rejoice to come home. She was happy to see the boys eat. Not many of those old-time mothers left. Nowadays they all open the same kind of canned stuff. Who said that we are poor? Well, if I said it. 1 should have qualified my statement, as becomes a man trained in the law. Not every man among us is poor; nor can I say that 1 y:is was a bad year for everybody. Not so, indeed Some among us may have occasion to look back on 193S as a year of sje-< lal blessings, brimful of all the good tilings of life, sue! culetit. even, in rn h plentitude and i amo: osi.il delight Kvcli so. We in *ii who farm well, that 3 a i > i-l ~ r.?; and does not lend itself to] \ i of Santa i'lau? in the am-| plitmie >f his beneficence, but. listen now. tiler,- be those whose stockings were full of good things even when the rest of us couldn't guard our few ran-in - because of the holes in the i , | hose Say. what do you think of this? I Din e there was a man who occupied 1 a position of trust and received nearly six hundred dollars a month from the public purse. Get that, now, six hundred dollarB a month, every month, twelve months In the }'2ar, every year. Even so. Nip frosts, nor rain, nor drouth, nor hall troubled him No! His money was surk? every month. No glutted world market affected his Income, no bountiful corn crop reduced his earnings. No. sirree! Six hundred Iron men every month And he has a member of his family on the payroll of the public, . too, although those six hundred si! moleons should suffice to feed and clothe all and singular the family . aforesaid. And there be others, my , brethren. They tell me of a man with one public salary of about three thousand dollars a year for Ave months work, who also has another public Job at a salary reputed to be five thousand dollars. And a boy or [ ttftf'Uho 611JWpublic recompense for public Services. Ye?, I tell you; there be men . among ua who should remember that - while the rest of us can't reach the fodder it hangs low in the rack for thvnv If they don't offer special thanks for the rich prosperity of 1938 they should look at the rest of us. I repeat, some people are feasting while most of us are pulling Ju the belt another notch. Senator Harry F. Byrd has been invited to address the annual convenI tion of the Farmers and Taxpayers I League sometime this month, possibly the eighteenth; if convenient to him. The senator has accepted, conditioned upon being able to leave Washington. The league has requested Senators Smit hand Byrnes to cooperate in making it possible for Senator Byrd to come. While governor of Virginia, Mr. Byrd re-organized the state government and made a notable reduction in the number of offices maintained and in the cost of the government. Virginia, though much larger and richer than South Carolina, has not as many public offices as we have. Senator Byrd is invited as an expert on state government who has accomplished something in a big way. The league will fix any date that may assure the coming of Senator Byrd. My, my, my. As though to rebuke Spectator for saying that the housewives of today don't perform the cullnary art with the profusion and skill of our mothers, Spectator must tell of being a guest at a baronial estate of renown in old Clarendon?near where the Sautee rushes along to the first proposed dam. The family in residence is not one to rejoice over a drop of tomato Juice. Here's a truthful account of what was offered to Spectator, though he. alas, could not measure up to the occasion, albeit he "holp himself lavetious," as a Sumter county man once said. Look at this kingly feast: Itice, biscuits (homemade and hot"), turkey and gravy, ham and gravy, turkey dressing, chicken salad, potato salad, spinach, stewed tomatoes, macaroni, pickle, lima beans, cranberry sauce, salted nuts, homemade candy, lemon plo, cocoanut pie, white fruit cake, dark fruit cake, pound cake, nut-date cake, banana cake, chocolate cake, cocoanut cake, lemon cake, gelatine (in Christmas colors) with whipped cream, tea and coffee. In the preparation of this spread seven dozen eggs were used. Spectator will have to swallow (If able to swallow anything more) what ho has said, perhaps Still, this good housewife is a grandmother at that? though, of course, a very youthful one. There was no "llcker" in the fruit rake, nor on it, nor about it. Grandma will not permit anything more ardent about the plantation than grandpa's pipe?which is a strong concession, believe me. But grandma herself had Indulged In a cooking spree, like the sainted grandmothers of old. Spectator, even in moments and moods <^f poetic frenzy, must perforce coins down from th$ Olympian heights and Blysian delights to the hard realities of the common-place, so he surveyed grandpa to ascertain how he if as "holding up under the strain." He was holding hla own, fortified by that 1 remarkable pipe, which never weakens. ' Personal Mention ? E M. )toy kin, of Mouck's Corner, i spent the week end Jfdth Mrs Hoy kin Mm. J E.

Contents main building $20,000.00. Nurses home, $12,500.00. Contents nurses home, $1,000.00. There was an increase of 142 patients or an increase of 1,334 days furnished all patients. There^ was an increase In expense of $5,514.57 over 1937. This Increase is accounted for by the increase of 1.334 days of hospital service furnished over 1937, also additional expense by adding two supervisors during 1938. We were compelled to have an anesthetist to give gas as we were given the gas machine by the Indies Auxiliary, of which the hospital has always felt the need. It has been a great addition to the hospital. We were fortunate In securing the services of an expert, ami her work is very satisfactory to the surgeons. The other addition was an operating room supervisor, whose work Is also satisfactory and of great benefit to the institution. The Women's Auxiliary has continued their splendid work during the past year and are continuing their efforts to raise funds to assist in many ways The Junior League continues their tonsil clinic. The value of the Women's Auxiliary and the JuniorLeague cannot be too highly commended. There are constant demands made each year for improvemeuts to the building and equipment in order that they may be kept in good condition. Each year we spent for this purpose such funds as are available from cur general account of the hospital, but these funds fall to cover the cost of repairs and replacemnts necessary to ( keep up the property You are aware that the building is badly in need of paint, the private rooms are showing up very badly and should be the first j work done In painting and as soon as possible | The heating plant for furnace In main building was changed from an oil burner to a coal stoker during the year The stoker has been extremely satisfactory, heating the buildluK all departments, maintaining a pressure of five pounds to the boiler, as guaranteed by John M. VUleplgue and Company, who Installed the stoker. I wish to express my appreciation of the continued support of the board of directors, the excellent cooperation and advice of Dr. John W. Corbett, our president, and other members of the board. j Club Met Wednesday The Neighborhood bridge club waa entertained Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. Eldon Jones at her home.
