I am particularly pleased to see
that this government of ours is be
ginning to fully recognize that if we
really want to-get a job done in‘this
country we must call upon the women
to do it,i’ B. M. Edwards of Columbia,
declared recently in an interview in
which he discuss^ the fight against
tnflation and black markets being
waged jointly by Civilian Defense
and fhe Office of Price Administra-
tlon. ^
“Here on the home front ther^e is a
real battle," Mr. Edwards, state com
mitteeman, said. “All of us know
that wars are destroyers of morals.
A desperate world conflict the
scale of the,one in which we are en
gaged brings out all the best in some
of us; another class of folks go along
In a half-hearted fashion, the tbltd
group snatches and grabs Tor its own
benefit everything it possibly can, re
gardless of the best interest of the
country and the people.
“Whether or not we choose to admit
it, we have a great number, in fact,
A substantial percentage of our popu
lation today, who are In tbe last cate
gory."
It is up to the public, be pointed
out, to realize that, despite how strong
any citisen’s intentions may be and
no matter how fervently he may ex
press his love of TOuntry, he Is not
going,to be able to help save America
unless he cau put aside this seltlBh-
ness which characterizes his efforts.
Control of prices and the fair shar
ing of scarde commodities is as much
a part of the war effemt as the build
ing of planes and tanks and guns for
use on the battlefields, Mr. Eldwards
ekplained. “Tc reduce price control
to simple terms which can be under
stood In every <eommttalty, the govern,
meat has set market basket dollsrs-
SDd.cents-prices for all types of food
stores," he added. "The success of
our count’s gigantic effort to con
trol prices depends on the full under
standing and coopersttion of every
housewife and merchant in observing
these celling prices."
Within s few weeks every house
wife and merchant will be asked to
make a pledge (1) to pay no more
than top legal prices and (2) to ac
cept ^o rationed goods without givipg
up ration coupons. After doing this,
each will be given a sticker, in pa
triotic colors, to post< prominently in
their home window or store, telling
their neighbors and friends that they
are doing their part on the home
front to help their government keep
the cost of Hying down. i.
“Many of us remember what hap
pened in the last World war, when we
bad no OPA," Mr. EMwards recalled.
^‘Let me say that I am a strong sup
porter of the OPA and think that
though many mistakes have been
made, they have done a great Job for
the counti^r. In 1917-18 we saw prices
soar In many Instances more than
300 per cent within a j>erlod of Just a
few months.”
“The chances of inflation today are
Richards Tells Why
Grits-Are Scarce
Washington, Oct.—-Congressman J.
Pj Rlchardd, of the fifth South-Caro
lina district,^ told -the Hduse of Repre-
sentativea this week about grits and
the scarcity of grhs.
■ "It may- be -necessary for the sake
.of the war effort (p take avsy most
of our gasoline and to tell iis when
we can buy a pair of shoes and a
pound of sugar and when we'can kill
our hogs and drive our automobiles,"
he .said, ‘‘but I believe we can win the
war aftd have grits too.”
“In South Carolina, when we speak
of hominy, we mean hominy grits—a
wholesome cereal food which, when
properly prepared, is a dish fit for
a king. Now it Is almost impossible
to buy grlta. One reason for thiss I
am informed, is that millers can get
more corn meal than grits from corn
and, the price. ^Ing the same, they
grind meal instead-of grits."
Richards told the .House he was
asking the OPA director to “attempt
to do something about the fault in
price or distribution plan which makes
It virtually impossible to get this in
expensive staple food-." ^

and fertilize with 6-^7-5 fertjlixer.
Sweet potatoes should be dug, be

^ I.ettoce sown in cold frames will

Camden, 8. C., Sept. 89. 1943. ‘
A gxim admonition to Selective
Service registrgnts who falsely mis
represent their <^upational expert-
ence and training in an effort to
avoid -military service was'given to
day by Brig. Qen. Holmes B. Springs,
State Sdlectivv Service director, who
potaited out that such regtstraata face
federal prosecution. •
General Springs' warning was g\Ten
aftCT receipt of an opinion rendered
in a Ilntted States district court in
Illinois which found a registrant and
his father guilty on nine counts of
Tfotattion of the Selective Service act
and conspiracy to violate the provisions
of the act through famishing inaccur
ate and misleading Information on
the registrants farm experience and
training.
• In the' case referred to. General
Springs said, the documents filed with
the Selective Service board -in Illinois
were shrewdly drafted to give the im
pression that the responsibility for
tljM supervision and operation of the
reglatrant’B farm from tbe time it was
purchased was upon the registrant
and exercised by him. The cumula
tive effect of the documents was to
«how that fhe registrant was a stock
and grain farm operator of very con
siderable- experience^ whereas the
truth was that he had really exercised
little responsibility up to 1942 and
had. according to tbe evidence pre
sented, little real experience -which
would fit him for such responsibility.
With the selection of pre^Pearl
Harbor fathers Imminent, General
Springs ssid that the local boards
could be expected to Investigate far
more thoroughly all requests for occu
pations! deferment, whether agricul
tural or otberwdse, to assure the fact
that no single reglslranis or married
registranta without children would be
an(«red““t»"flnd‘'an unjust havetC'^on
the farm or in industry. Where false
evidence Is filed with the boards and
wher^ such investigstion shows that
the documentary evidence is false or
misleading, prosecution for violating
the 'Selective Service set may fol
low, the general said.
