Payroll Savings Buys Comfort
For Your Fighting Relatives
Not all of your payroll savings
and other War Bond purchases
are used for tanks,
planes and gunpowder. A parr
of your investment goes for the
comfort of your father, brother,
son or friend.
Put your war bond buying
through your payroll savings
plan on a family basis to do the
most effective job In providing
for the care and safety of your
men in the armed forces. Figure
it out for yourself how much
bevond 10 per cent of the aggregate
income of yonr family
you can put into war bonds
above the cost of the necessities
of life.
Remember a single 918.75
war bond will buy for a fighting
soldier on the front: Two cotton
undershirts at 44 cents; two
pairs of cotton shorts at 76
cents; two pairs of cotton socks
st 34 cents; one pair of shoes
at $4.31; a cotton khaki shirt
at $4.64; pair twill trousers at
$4.16; one web waist belt at 23
cents; two cotton neckties at 44
cents; 2 khaki caps at SI.26
* and one twUI jacket at $2.16.
Total $18.74. .
An $18.75 war bond should
make a marine comfortable for
the night with a 23-pound mattress
at $4.20; two blankets at
$13.54; a pillow at 56 cents and
two pillow cases at 30 cents.
. Total $18.60.
Or he could be provided with
a rubber ppncho at $4.77; a helmet
with its lining and other
items of its assembly at $5.62;.
a rifle cartridge belt at $2.15;
a marine corps pack consisting
of haversack, knapsack and
suspenders at $5.10; a canteen
and its cover at $1.05. Total
$18.69.
Those of vou who worry about
the comfort of your boy in service
can help insure his comfort
by buying war bonds. And 10
J ears from now you'll take back
85 for every $18.75 you put in.

The Army put on an erroless exhibition
of softball technique last. Friday
evening to defeat the Maintenance
pastlmers in a postponed battle
by a score of 15 to 6 and went into
a first place tie with the Kendalls
who had previously licked the Merchants.
8o far as the reoordB show, the
Army holds the distinction of being (
the first team in the circalt to travel
nine innings without breaking Into
the boner column. !
, Schnell, for the Army, was nicked
tor eleven hits, several going *0 extra )

The Anny .Jumped right into the
scoring lap in the initial inritmg when
three runs clattered over the rubber.
They ndaea :a fourth counter in the
second and then staged a hitting
apree which inettefl ?ve runs in the
third. The fourth, fifth anfl sixth
found the "Maintenance ddtense in
good torm and not a runner reached
the ipayoff Slab. But In the .-seventh
the Mth representation got . busy
again and scored faor runs, which
with two in Qie anlnth after n scoreless

A walk :to Jeniilngs followed by
Merrill's single and an out at first
gave the grease boys a run In the
first. Merrill attempted to steal home
but was nipped at the plate by Hall's
accurate peg to Adamski. Three hits

Saving Garden Seed
May Save the Garden
Clem son, June.?To make sure of
having adequate garden need supplies
for repeated plantings, home gardeners
would At well to saw most sorts
of vegetable weeds, says Jk. B. ifflehilletter,
Clemson extension horticulturist.
He warns that with greatly
increased wartime plantings, weeds
are sure to he high in price, and
many are likely to he scarce.
Saving seed la a simple process of
just permitting moot vegetables to
mature seed, and then gathering and
storing them. But with some, like
tomatoes, encumbers, squash and ebbplant,
a hit of processing Is needed
after they are allowed to fully maftane
on the stalk.
"With these, the pulp containing the
mature seeds is usually mashed up
and water added. This is left to
ferment, and as this process develops,
the seed and pulp separate out. The
good seed sink and the light ones
and the pulp go to the top. Then the
top can be poured off and the
seed retained. They should be dried
In the shade. Screen wire Is good
to dry them on.
Store the dry seed In fruit Jars or
similar containers, and treat them
with carbon dlsulphlde if indects
threaten.
With plenty of seed on hand, tne.
first step towards an adequate, yeararound
garden will have been made.
Frequent plantings . insure maximum
garden output.

,5 Minute Talk On ,
Tin Can Salvage .
Tin is a precious metal in our
country today. With about 90 per
cent of our former source of supply
cut Off-by the wst ta the Pacific, it
has become necessary to salvage tin
coating from tin cans used In every
home in the csmntry.
v. Before the war, Americans used
a&oait seventeen bSTlion On containers
every year. Most of these were ft
nutaance, and found their way into
the rubbish heap. The man of the
household gathered up tbe old cans
and disposed of them.
Now that tin cans are going to war,
it opens one more avenue for women
to'Oo their part In "Keeping our armed
forces supplied with food and medicines,
not to mention gas masks and
vital parts for ships, planes -and tanks.
The way to start tin cans on their
way to -war Is to rinse them carefully,
remove or fold In tops and
bottoms, take off paper labels, and
Btep on the cans firmly.
The prepared tin cans you turn
Into the war effort are shipped to
big detinnlng plants where ten tons
of them at one time go Into the solution
which removes the tin. The
tin can Is In reality a steel cylinder
coated with a thin layer of tinabout
1. per cent tin by weight and 99
per cent steel.
"Tin on the average tin can Is about
the thickness of one third of a human
hair, but has so much resistance to
aokl and corrosion that this thin layer
seals the food away from the steel
and prevents ruBt, ptomaine poisoning,
or contamination.
The importance of collecting all
the tin cans might be further Impressed
upon us If we atop to realize that
every ton of tin cans produce only
about 20 jfbunds of pure tin, as against
1,980 pounds of steel scrap.
"The real value of tin Is in the
fact that there is no satisfactory substitute
for -tin in its many war uses.
Tin is used in the production of airplane
motors, guns, hand grenades,
torpedoes, in warships and submarines;
tin ingots go' to commute*
producing cans and containers for.
food, both for your own use and
for the troops abroad and the men at
sea- -still other Ingots go>tO the technical
laboratories and ' special factories
producing supplies for the
Army and Navy Medical corps, and
for emergency supplies used by the
soldier himself In the field, when
wounded and waiting assistance.
No more spectacular proof of the
essential service of tin in this war
has appeared than the "syrette."

Camden Soldier
Is Entertained By
Royalty In England
Mrs. Joha Hendrlx, Huthxlgp street,
la in receipt of an interesting letter
from First Sergeant 1). C. Scar*
boroetth, who la with tho American
forces tn England.
Knowing Mrs. Hendrix's lovo for
flue literature, Sgt. Scarborough gives
an Interoatlng account of a vlalt to
I Stratford-Oil-A von, the homo of William
Shakespeare, and also other
places which during his school days
caused "many headaches."
iRnrouto to tho home of ShakeA
pea re, Jio tells of visiting Kenilworth
(Castle. ills letter in part
reads as follows:
"Knroute we visited Kenllworth
Castle, but I must confess I didn't
learn much about it uh 1 was exploring
while the guide was telling of it.
About all 1 know Is that it is around
1000 years old, rtnd used to be visited
by tho ancient Itoyalty. etc. We also
visited the old Warwick Castle In
the town of Warwick which Is about
the same age ami still stands almost
exactly as built and furnished. The
gardens are absolutely beautiful. They
are numbers of peucocks strutting
around showing off their beautiful
tails."
Then we arrived at Stratford which
was, most Interesting. We saw the
home of Anne Hathaway. Shakespeare's
wifo, his mother, Mary Alden's
home, his birthplace, where he
died, and of course, the church In
whit* he 1s 'burled."
"At the Shakespeare theatre performances
are still being given of
his works, and I hope to go to one
before very long."
"Hie highlight of the trip for me
was at luwdh In the ceart house at
Warwick which was attended by the
Ixird Mayor, the mayoress (wife),
and local dignitaries. They gave
hort speeches of welcome and I was
called on to extend thariks from the
soldiers to *the mayor and committee.
I had stage fright but got through
O.K. At Stratford we lhad -supper
at tho Red Cross with the mayor, his
mother anil others and (deleted by
censor) on to do the same thing.
That time 1 was O.K., as I was accustomed
to public speaking for the
day. I had my picture taken with the
mayor and his mother, wkich I can
assure you 1 will prize."
' Altogether I really had a wonderful
time and the civilians were most
gracious in showing us around. I'm
sure If the family could see what a
good time I am having here In England,
they would never worry about
me."
"One more interesting thing was
at lunch when they served beer with
the meal. Of course, we are accustomed
to smoking after eating but
over here when beer 1b drunk, you
never smoke until a toast Is drunk
to the king. The significance of the
toast Is that the king Is supposed to
have gotten drunk and passed out.
Just another British custom we learned.
Our toast also Included our president.
Just a matter of courtesy as I
can* Imagine F.D.R. drunk."
"I am enclosing a few Items I'm
[sure you will be Interested in. Someday
when I return, I will be able to
tell you more than I have written,"
Citizens Are Urged
To Cooperate In the
Control of Malaria
Soon after the beginning of the ma-1
larla control In war areas program In I
the spring of last year, It became ob-|
vlous that complete protection of |
troops and war workers could not bel
achieved by the program In those ln-1
stances where the people spend a con-|
8iderable portion of their time in un-l
controlled malarious areas. Evening!
walks through rural areas five to ten!
miles from camp are common. Mill-1
iary personnel and war workers some-1
times reside singly or In small groups I
at some distance from protected I
zones. 'The necessity for finding some!
method of reducing the endemic m&-1
larla reservoir In these broader areas!
led to the hiring of assistants In I
health education.
Hence, the Kershaw county health I
department is conducting a malarial
control program this summer. Al-1 j
though malaria is not generally con*!1
sidered a serious disease, It reduces 1,
the earning power of its victims.!]
Farm workers are handicapped be-|i
cause of the malaria, as are industrial | <

While our armed forces are fight* |i

Malaria Is a disease that can beji
prevented if necessary precautions I
are observed. To do this requires the I.
cooperation of all the citizens of Ker-I

Growers To Get
What Was Promised
Franklin, Va., July 12.?In an offort
to clear uj> what appears to bo a groat
doe I of uiiHundoi-Htandlng In (Connection.
with "additional payments" to
growers of the 1942 crop of excess
peanuts, K. M; 'Johnson, acting manager
of the Growers Peanut Cooperative,
Inc., agency handling the peanut
program in the Carolines, Virginia
and Tennessee, declared today :
"Growers may be assured that they
have not been double-crossed by their
government or by the marketing associations
and that they will receive
all tjtat has been promised to them
under the 1942 marketing program.
"This misunderstanding evidently
is the result of growers being misinformed
or not being familiar with tlio
operations of the marketing program,"
he said:
"Additional Payments" Explained
"lly 'additional payments' is meant
payments made to growers at the rato
of $1.0 per ton (half-cent per pound)
on excess peanuts of the 1942 crop
marketed under the peanut marketing
program (fiscal year 1943) prior to
March 22, 1943. Tho Growers Peanut
Cooperative, with headquarters in
Franklin, Va., and similar cooperative
marketing associations serving other
poanut growing areas In tho United
StatoB, ware authorized to make thoso
payments by a direction of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture."
Since mailing out "additional payments,"
the GPC has received numerous
letters and heard of many complaints
from growers In regard to the
payments?all asking the same question:
"If I sold my excess peanuts to
the association for prices ranging
from 3 to 4 cents per pound, and the
association in turns sells them at
prices ranging from 8 to 10 cents per
pound, why do I not receive more
than 1-2 cent per pound additional
payment? Does it take from 4 to 6
cents per pound to cover administrative
costs?"
The belief in some quarters that
"additional payments" would bo larger
If administrative expenses of the
cooperative marketing associations
were less, led Johnson to point out
that tho opinion is completely without
grounds, since the maximum
amount that can be received under
the program to cover administrative
costb is $1.75 per ton or less than
1-10 cent per pound. . , ^ .
A nation-Wide Program "
"First of all," Johnspn, said, "It
should be borne In mind that the program
Is a nation-wide program under
which all growers share alike. Associations
participating in the 1942
marketing program purchased both
quota and excess nuts, wihle most of
the quota nuts were purchased in outlying
areas where there were no
established markets for peanuts for
! edible purposes,
"In order to avoid unnecessary use
of labor and transportation, the Department
of Agriculture used a wise
method of marketing by authorizing
the sale of quota and excess peanuts
located in remote territories to oil
mills located in those areas, and approving
sales of excess peanuts for
edible purposes to the cleaning and
shelling trade in areas Ivhere those
excess peanuts were stored.
' This meant that subsidy payments
had to be made by the Department of
Agriculture on all quota peanuts
erushed for the difference In the value
of the quota peanuts crushed for oil
and the actual cost of such peanuts as
the quota price*, the subsidy In some 5
Instances amounting to as much as
60 to 60 dollars a ton.
"Before additional pyaments on excess
peanuts can be made to growers
?from profits on operations?all subsidy
payments In connection with
quota and excess peanuts crushed for
oil and all operating and administrative
Expenses of the entire program
are deducted.
All 8har# Alike
"It should not be construed that all
r?8uItlng from marketing the
1942 crop of peanuts by any one of
the marketing associations will be
distributed only to .growers delivering
peanuts to that particular association;
for, as previously stated,
program is nation-wide under which
growers in all areas share alike.
'Growers who look at this program
rrom the Individual standpoint with
the thought In mind tfet the exceed
peanuts they sold under the program
at the price of 8 1-2 cent per pound
wew later sold to the edible trade at
a price of 8 to 10 cents per pound, end
reason that they should have received
an additional payment of 4 to
6 cents per pound, should realize that
other growers of excess peanuts sold
their peanuts at the same price of 8
1-2 cenUi per pound, the peanuts
later being sold fo$ crushing for oil
when no profits resulted from the
sales." ,
Johnson asked: "Should the grower
whose peanuts were sold for no
profits not receive any additional payments
or as much additional payment
as the grower whose peanuts were
sold for profit?"
4 After all," he answered, "the peanuts
were gold under the same program
and the grower could not determine
what disposition was to ba
made'of the peanuts he delivered."
Promise Kept
Early in the sprng of 1942 the Department
of Agriculture, due to an
urgent need for vegetable oils and
fats for war purposes, asked all growars
of peanuts expand their* acreages
beyond their quota allotments ta
Produce the much needed
OIL Thfb request was made with
the understanding that growers would
