If we needed any argu ment for generous giving, the letters from dhr service men and women, especially prisoners of war, and the comments of those who have returned lo this country after serving and ex periencing the wonderful woilf' of this Mother of Mercy should make os give nntil it hurts. We can never equal their aacrifiees. If The Chronicle could give space enough, we could fill it with letters and quotations from the boys over there, in praise of the Red Cross. One retunwd warrior said: *‘Of all the organixatloas in the world, the Red Cross is the one most worthy of help.” In a letter from Deas Boykin in a hospital in Francs, he says: “The Red Cross is doing a wonderful job here," and describes the daily programs. A card to his mother from Sgt. Hughey Tindal, Jr., in a prison camp in Germany saya: “Tell the Red Cross they are doing a fine Job." An other prisoner of war, Lt. Burwell Boykin Capehart, aayt, "You have nothing to worry abont now, the Red Cross in these P. *W. camps sees to it that we are warm and well fed and that’s all that matters for me now,” and advises them to go to the Red Cross for P. W. information. “Well and safe and settled very comfortably, with plenty of food and clothing, thanks to the Red Croet.” What more comforting words coold come to a family, what higher ' praise to an organization? Then ‘‘Greetings Ker shaw County chapter of the American Rod Cross from a B-24 bomber crew in England and thanks for kit bags received shortly before sailing and telling of the value and help of these baddy bags, so lovingly made aod filled by Red Cross volunteers. ‘‘Best of luck to your chapter," the letter from 2nd Lt. a.c. Elgin D. Lee con cludes, “May it continue to be of serv ice to those leaving our wonderful U. 8. to do their duty as they see fit" Still another quotes from a letter from Cpl. Jas. L. Jones (colored) in Europe, to his mother. “Believe me. mother, the Red Cross is doing a won derful work here for the American aokHers, the Red Cross' is the one thing we can rely upon when we are out of camp. I never thought when I waa at home, that the little pennies we gave to the Red Cross was goisg for such a worthy cause and I am only sorfy I didn’t give more to anch a good oanae. Whenever such a drive la on, give all yon can poaaibly spare for yon are only helping to make my stay and that of my fellow soldiers more pleasant while over here.' Tbsee are a few excerpts from letters recelvsd. A phhto from an fiigllsh friend serving with the American Red Cross, who proudly wears a badge pre sented for her untiring work for our boys, show a crowded American Red Flashes From the County Agents Office Piantere Maximum production of any food or feed crop requires a good stand. To get a goed stand reqaires a planter that is in good shape—cleaned up, greased, repaired and adjusted. Farm ers who have not already checked their planting equipment shonKi do so at once. Special attention should be given to plates, gears, chains, bear ings and other moving parts that may be rusty or badly worn. Needed parts should be purchased or ordered right away through local farm macbln<H7 dealers. Many farmera in Kershaw (bounty are likely to experience cost ly delays if they wait until the last minute to repair or reetmdition their planters. Fertilizer Distributors With heavy appllcationa of fertilizer as one of the recommendatioos in the 10-point food and feed program, it is important that fertOiser distributors be in good , operating condition. Farm ers who have not already checked and repaved their distiibntors should do so fight away. If they are rusty, a good application of kerosene or light oil should be applied before attempt ing to force the movement of parts that may be tigjit or *TroBen." l^y Attend The Memorial Service An impressive memorial service wea condueted Sunday afternoon in Grace Episcopal church by Dr. Mau rice (Harke, rector.
