Canal Zone Soldier
Thanks The Skipper
An air inMtl letter bearing the ok
of the United States army censor and
addreHaed to "The Skl|i|>or" In care
of The Chronicle, mailed from the
Canal Zone, brings another expression
of appreciation for the interest
that a home paper brings to the hoys
In the combat juhic of the present
world war.
The letter Ih from Paul A. Wll.
Mains, Detachment Q, M. Corps, at
Fort Randolph, Canal Zone. He
writes: "Dear Skipper: I huve received
your paper now since October,
1941. and sure enjoy reading It- I
aui also very glad and proud to know
of Camden's hospitality towards the
soldiers during maneuvers and I aut
ho proud to discuss it with the northern
soldiers who are here.
"I also read in The Chronicle of
Mrs. Catoe In Kershaw as having
four sous in the service. That certainly
is great and shows the southern
spirit in its true light. My
father, who lives just around the
corner at 406 DeKulh street also has
a son In the navy and two more In
Panama at Fort Randolph, which
should entitle an old chap like Dad
to a three-star honor, Just as Mrs.
Catoe is entitled to a four-star recognition.
Dad's boys are all in the foreign
service in Uncle Sam's outlying
possessions, which very rarely occurs
through volunteering, for our country's
safety, meaning that it would
have been ugainst our patriotism to
our country to have boon drafted.
"A girl friend of mine wrote that
the girls in her home town didn't
have any dates any more as they
didn't care to date men that Uncle
Sam didn't want or those* who couldn't
overcome a certain "streak" by
volunteering.
*""""^>18 is my conclusion to a lot of
questions, Skipper. I am raring to
receive my next copy of The Chronicle.
Best regards to you and The
Chronicle staff for the tine reporting.
I am Just another Irishman. YourB
sincerely. Paul A. Williams. P. S.
I hope C. V. Massabeau is re-elected
I only wish 1 could cast a vote from
Panama."

Farm Women
Getting Some Help
Kershaw county farm women are
getting some help from the men-folk
with their gardens this year, according
Jto Mrs. Eva O. Irby .home management
supervisor of the Farm Security
Administration.
"Although the women still consider
the garden primarily their concern,
Kershaw county men don't have to
be nagged Into preparing that plot
for spring planting this year, and
even using stable compost on the garden
plot instead of the cotton patch,"
she said.
Spurred by FSA'S all-out effort In
the Food for Freedom program, and
the nation's Increasing need for wa?,
time food production, two hundred
FSA farm women In Kershaw county
are pledging themselves to raise
more foor for their families and for
market, and to preserve more food
than ever before. These women are
holding group meetings throughout
the county each month to discuss
food production goals, and planting
schedules in the county.
Mrs. Irby says that the Farm Security
families in this county plan to
exceed last year's all-time high -goal
in canning during 1942, and to do a
great deal of drying and preserving
In brine. They will endeavor to make
their families entirely self-sustaining
the year round, and, in addition, ta
provide garden truck for sale.
Each family will feed Itself, so thai
no food need be bought which might
be shipped to our allies, or used bj
our armed forces. These famlltet
in growing their own food supplj
will also rnlfliUA t fa
entities for necessary defense users
In the fifth Region, embracing Ala
bama, Georgia, Florida and Soutl
Carolina, FSA families have bough
or ordered a total of three hundret
and fifty tons of garden seed, at i
cost of $250,000 to go Into productioi
of the 12-month garden which eaci
of them has been asked to plant.
