Although her home shows evidences of perfect care, and the shelves of her cellar are laden with 481 quarts of fruits and vegetable* which she canned last summer and fall, Mrs. Gandy has found plenty of time to take an active part in com munity work. She is president of her Farm * County Home Demonstration and School Improvement club and presi dent of the County Council of Farm Women. She is also chairman of the music and recreational committee of the State Council of Farm Women. “Succes B in homemaking can be measured in no better way than by the type of children the home pro duces,” declares Mrs. Henderson, who is the mother of four daughters and / one son. Two of the daughters teach school, one i n married, and Sarah, the youngest of the family, is attending High School. ‘ Her son also is attend ing High School, and plans to study agriculture at Gemson College. Mrs. Henderson’s . contributions to com munity life have been her work on Heme Demonstration, school and church committees. So that her own four children may have the advantages of higher educa tion, Mrs. Wooten is teaching school, contributing about $900 a year to the family’s education fund. A*ked bow many eveningg a week her chil dren spent away from home, Mrs. Wooten answered “not any,” and then explains that their home recre ational facilities keep them there. One such facility is a swimming pool on the farm. Step-mother of eight children and mother of four, Mrs. Lancaster, who lives on a farm of 600 acres, has found homeraaking a busy career. Fiv e of her twelve step-children and children are college graduates, three' have had some college training, three j are now attending college, and one is 11 attending high school.

C., June 9.—During the first four months of 1931 a total of $37331.25 was distributed to the several counties of South Carolina from fines collected by Magistrates from taw violators caught by Mm State Highway Patrol of the Highway Department. According to figures on file with the department, Barnwell County receiv ed $196, which ig the total amount el fines imposed on violators of tha State Highway laws who were appto- hended in the county. According to the law the counties are the only beneficiaries of these fines. During the period in which these fines were collected ther e were S197 caseg made by the Highway PafroL with 2866 convictions before Magis trates. The Highway Patrol has not sought to act as a group of “vigilantes,” hot instead as a group of guides" »nd educatorg of the motoring public. Only the most flagrant violators were noted, such as driving intoxicated; careless and driving; and other PraCticeg which are unsafe and a hazard to life aad property. The efficiency of the Patrol la con- stantly being improved, and its work perfected. The Patrol has just com pleted a course in motorcycle driving so that every uniformed member that law enforcement body will be master of his vehicle. The members of the Highway Patrol are not only exercising them selves with highway laws hot with the apprehension of other criminals in hot pursuit. Already a Patrolman participated in a chase with a beak robber, catching him and having hte arrested.
