where tbe big market exists for pro-

Some 40 per cent of the families

around this figure. The trend la away
from the larger type of bouse. More

Most families will not pay cash for

American people. Consequently, the
outlook for most credit and financing

headed for another depression after

1. C Fanlkenberry
In memory td our loving buaband
and father, Hn J. C. Fanlkenberry,
Who departed tbJa life March 15. 1M4.
We loved you, oh, ao dearly.
You were so kind and good,
^byjyou bad to-leave ue father.
We have not nuderstood.
There was an angel band In heaven.
That was not quite complete.
So God took onr dead daddy.
To fill that vacant seat.
When we saw you In your casket.
Lying so still and quiet.
You seemed to be an angel fatbw.
With snowy wings of white.
Tbe flowers we place on your grave,
May wither and decay.
But the love we have for father,
Will never fade away.
A precious one from ns Is gone7~
A voice we loved Is still.
A chafar la vacant in our home,
Which no one else can fill.
Thou are gone dear father, but not
forgotten.
Never will thy memory fade.
Loving thoughts will always Unger,
Aronnd the giwve where yon are laid.
Yet again we hope to meet you,
When tbe day of life Is fled.
When up In'heaven with Joy well
greet theA
Where no farewMl words are said.

Porto Rico sweet potato, known as

Ten bushels of tbe beet seed ob

monthly meeting Thorsday, April 18,
In the home economies room. The

mentA eonslstfag of ice cream and

other agricultural workers are on
record. All sweet potato prises at
the 1948 Orangeburg fair were won

wanls International has reduced its
member attendance for Its coming
