G. Irby, Home Management. Supervlaor of the Fariu Security Adiulliiatrution in Kershaw county "In the past farmers have shied off from keeping records, hut last year many kept them for the first time and found them very useful," said Mrs. Irby. "Some of the farmors thought they were keeping them for the F8A, but when they leu.rpcd that the record hooka were tor t.^etr own use to show them where tUpy were making money or upending it unwisely, their interest quickened. "Many of them were surprised to learn that their sales of vegetables, outside work, livestock products and such were bringing iheiu more money thgu some of the regular farm crops. They would not have knowu this if they had not kept a record book. As a result of the knowledge gained from the record book, better farm plans huve been developed and will make more money for them this year. Mrs. Irby pointed out that many of the farmwives learned to make money?and to spend is wisely. They also learned that much can be done with the money made from sales of eggB. handicraft and flowers. "We urge all farm families, to keep accurate records because It will help them on a farm quicker and aid them In having a more comfortable living," said Mrs. Irby.

Just as tho anniversary at Dlnkina Mill recalled. "Kvery lie that bound u*." to that community, ao tho death of Ml** Ellen Kllerbe recalls her co-operation and leadership In the work of tho church and happy days on the Kllerbe plantation. It Is fitting to pay tribute to those who lived then, to whose kindness and hospitality one Is deeply lndebt0(1 Here at Millvale lived the three Kllerbe ladles with those of their brothers who wxjre residents then. Just as was so customary in tho low country plantation homos, the house Is situated on the water course and located so that a broad canal flows In front of the house. There was then and is now a mill there. Briefly, the location Is unique among many sites of plantation houses or homes. At no great distance was the home of Elliott Kllerbe. One may travel far outside tho Southern States, but this writer has had no greater privilege than the enjoyment of the hospitality and kindness extended to him In such homes and the uplift of spirit experienced through tho refinement of manners which prevailed therein. It is like Something precious which la gone, and can't be replaced or reproducer! in the stress and strain of the present area.

First in the building of the church and Its adornment, as well for their .knowledge of what was proper end fitting In its services and their close attention and sacrifice of time in perfecting the surroundings of the church building. It was to them, Indeed, God's House, and a reverent consideration for all that pertains to it marked their efforts to influence others to regard it as such. So little 1b ever said of thought seemingly of devotion in good works, but it is a most precious part of character.

That's whut happened during the last war and that's what the present war will do to fall and winter fashions, declares Adrain, Metro Goldwyn-Mayer designer. Woouomy, and not an aesthetic appreciation of a well-turned calf, will bring about the current change, Adrian said. With the scarcity of wool, suits will have shorter skirts and will waste no material on pleats, fullness or flares.
