Thinks State Should
Profit From Iodine
J. Ro) Jones Believe* Info'malion
DiMemmated a» to Content rf
Much Beneht.
South Carclnna should take every
«t*s» possible to profit from the wide
publicity received during recent yeara
a* a result of the high iodine content
•f it, fruits, vegetable#, milk, butter.
che*«c. egg<* and *thcr pioducta, de
clared J. Roy Jones, Ci mmivsioner of
agriulture, commerce and industries,
fallowing a viait to States in the Mid
dle W est, where he discussed this
subject.
At the la-t session of the legislature
the work of the natuial resource*
commission wa, transferred to th<-
department of agriculture.
“It in the desire of this department
fo keep this very important matter
befoie the people of South Car lina
and of the who’e country so far a*
our facilities will permit,” Commis-
AJoner Jone 8 said.
In this connecticn Mr. Jones pointed
out that the hundreds of thousand- cf
wuroen in South Carolina could be of'
great value to the agricultujai inter
est of the State. “The woWen.’ he
said, “are the buyer s { r the home
table. If they demand S.-uth Caroli
na products the pterchants will sup-
| ly them and that wou-d mean much
Id the farmers of oui State.”
"‘A great ileal of valuab'e informa
tion and scientific data was gathered
by Uie natural re-ouices commission
doling its existence and it i s cur aim
to make the nu>4 of thi- material."
he said.
The work cf th? department of ag
riculture has been so heavy since he
became commissioner last March that
it ha s not beert possible to carry out
his plans fir the natural resource?
division with his limjfed force, Mr.
Jones said. “However!” he ekplained,
'“l am mapping out a campaign which
will posh to the front the natural ad
vantages possessed by the products
'■of South Carolina. And in this con-
a *
nection I wish to enlist the active co
operation of every w’oman in the State
*r»d of all who aie interested in the
further and continued development of
our resources.”
The work of the natural resources
oommiseion which wa s carried on for
several years by direct appropria
tion of the legislature was placed in
the department of agriculture last
ariater, and a small appropriation was
iadodrd in the department’s budget
Tor a director of this division. It is
understood to be the plan of Mr.
June* to push forward this work with
lit regular staff assisting thi f direc
tor.
A great deal of materia! gathered
fr m vaiiou* section* of the State dur
ing the past few year* and placed in
pamphlet form is now in the office
of the agricultural commissioner. He
plan* to u*e this to the best advan
tage and to urge the people cf South
Carolina to join in carrying on the
campaign which, he believe*, will
!e*ult in increasing the consumption
of vegetable*, fiuits, canned good*
end all manufactured or packaged
M odj| in the State.

Increase in Service and Part*
Butineaa.
Comboiating the many indica

busine** condition?, M. D. Douglas
general putts and service manager of
the C hevrJet Motor Company, re-
ports that from the lew* print in March
up to the present. Chevrolet dealers
have experienced an increase of over
26 per cent, in their sen ice and pat t-
bu?iness.
This i> the first appreciable and
sustained rise since the decline began
in 1929 and completely leverses *he
trend that se* :n at that time. Tru°.

ped - in March when the deva>tating if-
febt's of the bank holiday halted busi-
ness cf ail kinds.
The rise in service sales up tv* the
time the NRA provis on? went inb^
effect was accompanied by an increase
in employment quite generally leport-
ed from th? 9.500 dealers represent
ing the company.
“Our dealers,” said Mr. Dauglas,
“are fully prepared to meet this situ
ation. They ate putting forth a
special effort in September and Oc
tober to supply the demands of Chev
rolet owners who are flocking into our
dealer establishments for service and
parts.
“Seveial factor? are^preminent in
the improved demand for service.
There is, of course, the changed psy
chology of the American people.
Then, too, hundred* of men have gone
back to work. And last, but not
least, is the realization cf car owners
that it is unsafe and costly to drive
car s that are not in good condition.
We are ready to meet the demand.
Every service station in the country
has been geared up to a higher speed
with more man power and adequate
parts and service stocks.”

No argument about the camel.
When it comes to miles per gallon,
there’s nothing in all the Gobi desert—or any
where else—that can beat him. No argument
about Chevrolet, cither. It’s the most economical
full-size transportation on wheels.
More miles on a tankful of gas. More miles on a
filling of oil. More miles without worry and trouble
and repair! And they’re smoother, safer, more
comfortable miles, too, due'to all these features
exclusive to Chevrolet in the low-price field:
A cushion-balanced six-cylinder engine. Fisher
body. Fisher steel-plus-hardwood construction.
Fisher Ventilation. Starterator. And many morel
Travel in comfort and save as you go. Save with a
new Chevrolet. In addition to being America’s
most economical car, it’s also America’s fastest
selling car*by the widest margin of leadership
in history.
