Red Cross Notes
K- voaVmeum
The War Fund campaign is on In
full force. 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

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.
The service was for the late Lt.
Newton Alexander' of Boykin, who
met death in action in France, Dee.
