I V r A Extra Compeiuatioii Bill Features Week Rnwlatlon Calling for Report on Re ! » lief FigureN AI mo High point of Lawmakers' Work. V Columbia, April 17.—Introduction of an “extra P a y” resolution and a eal) by the house for information on relief expenditures in the State were the chief developments of the general assembly's 14th week. Rep. Q. E. Britt, proprietor of a Rock Hill soda and sandwich shop and humorously known to his colleagues as “Indian chief,” proposed the extra pay, calling for an additional $400 for each member for “official expenses. The resolution was accorded more than usual pocedure hy being read in full as representatives heartily ap plauded. It was referred, however, to the ways and means committee when there was objection to its going on the calendar without refetence. The call for a report on the han dling of relief came as a surprise. It was in the form of a resolution by Rep. Neville Bennett, ways and means chairman, requesting the information from Governor Olin I). Johnston, the State WPA administrator, I^awrence M. Pinkney, and Colonel J. D. Fu!p, director of the temporary State de partment of public welfare. Unanimous adoption of the resolu tion following a speech by Rep. Ben E. Adams, of Richland, a severe critic of the relief administration a few years back, in which he answered statements of Pinckney and Senator Henry R. Sims, chairman of the sen ate Social Securty committee. Adams Defends House. Adams defended the house against what he said were “charges" it was responsible for the present relief situ ation after Pinckney had appealed to the general assembly to provide some agency to certify persons eligible for work relief and other aid to the WPA. The department of public welfare, which ceased functioning March 1st, when its fundfc were exhausted, had been the certifying agency and Pinck ney said WPA jobs and commodities were “going begging” because it now’ had no legal status. Adams again criticized the relief ad ministration, asserting many worthy eases wege not receiving dttention "‘while the head officials of this or ganisation are enjoying . . . splendid salaries.” He took issue with Sims on the Umatiim of who was to blame for the aitnation regarding the welfare de partment. Bennett’s resolution asked an item ised report on the expenditure of all fnnda, both fedral and State, for the last two years, stating this “is very neceasary for a complete understand ing of <the administration of the afore mentioned funds and 1 to the prepara tion of a program for the future. Adjournment “Talk.” Sine die adjournment talk, going on since the start of the session was heal’d ^ further during the week, but the lit tle action taken was not regarded seri ously. First, the senate adopted a resolu tion to receive no more State-wide hills unless introduced by committee. TWn the house passed a resolution fixing Friday, April 2Jrd, as the date Imr the end of the session but ex pected objection arose in the senate and the resolution did not get con- -sidcration. Other noteworthy action included the enrolling for ratification of the “fair trade” bill to prohibit the sale 'of trade marked products at less than the advertised price despite spirited senate oppositon and a pas- saye by the house of several import ant measures in amended forms. The senate sent back to the house with amendments the bills licensing and regulating barbers, poviding for alternate jurors, imposing a $1.10 an nual license on rod and reel fishermen, and providing a pension system for peace officers. , .Bills Killed. The house returned, with amend ments, the compulsory school attend- ance bill to the senate, but refused to concur in amendments to the measure vrtapowering the commissioner ot labor to arbitrate labor disputes, thus neces»tating a free conference. A resolution authorizing a joint iegisla- tow iavestigation of the State con stabulary and other law enforcement -agencies was also sent to the senate. Bills to regulate the sale and manu facture of commercial fertilizers and to impose a general tw’o per cent, grass sales tax were killed by the hoase, while a $31,500 deficiency ap propriation bill was introduced in the senate by the finance committee. It was another curtailed week, the lawmakers adjourning Thursday in order to attend the Charleston Azalea Festival Friday. -dUJVEBTJSF ir The People-Sentinel SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE C. C. C. During the. four years of the CCC program there have been camps in every State. Since its inception, the CCC has supplied jobs running from six months to two years, to more than a million and a half of young men. This wonderful program offers an opportunity of wholesome outdoor work where they are assured of plen ty to eat, comfortable place in which to live and serviceable clothing. Each young man recives $30 a month as an allowance from which he allots at least $22.50 monthly to a needy fami ly. In addition to a cash allowance of $5.00 for himself, the CCC gives the enrollee shelter, food, clothing, as mentioned above, medical attention and an opportunity for training. The COC program is making a real contribution to national health, by building up the physical condition of enrollees. The typical kinds of work include making simple roads, the planting of trees, the construction of fire towers flood control, working in parks, eradi cation of tree pests and diseases, and the supression of forest fires. The most essential part of the CCC is to relieve distress through the em ployment of idle young men. This project is builtl'in^ the young men up physically, making them more useful citizens, increasing recreational op portunities, and reducing the annual forest fire toll. To guide these extensive operations throughout the nation, experienced personnel has ben placed in charge of the enrollees. When the men return home they will need to readjust themselves once more to the life of their home com munities. Many of the boys may not find work immediately.. The proper procedure, of those who wish to be employed, is to register with the nearest public eployment office. If the Civilian Conservation Camps is to represent more than a mei^ inter lude in a young man’s life, he must be able to “carry on” after he returns to the social and economic life of his home community. There are many more outstanding facts about the CCC. Two of the most important are given below: The supplying of jobs to unemploy ed men is important; the building of men is also important. Fortunately, the two go hand in hand: The men need the forests, and the forests need the men.

INSURANCE FEATURES OF AAA PROGRAM DISCUSSED Clemson, April 10.—Under the 1937 Agricultural Conservation Program, every farmer who participates in the pregram is protected to the full ex tent of his participation, says R. W. Hamilton, assistant to the extension service director, urging producers to a careful consideration of the insur ance features of the program. The farmer’s payments are not affected by weather, boll weevils, or fluctuations in prices. The larger the number of acres devoted to soil-building crops and practices, the greater the protec tion against flood, drought and low prices. As explained further by Mf. Hamil ton, the Agricultural Conservation Program provides protection to farm ers in the following ways: 1. All producers who participate will receive some cash income, re gardless of what may happen to their planted crops. For tbose producers who cooperate to the fullest extent and whose crops are severely injured by drought, or other disaster, this cash income may be the means of preventing extreme distress. 2. Cooperating producers assume less risk if they divert a part of their soil-depleting crop acreage to soil- conserving crops. The soil-conserv ing crops in the main serve to pro vide need«*d feeds and foods. In this way cash outlay may be reduced. 3. The program, by tending to adjust the supply to demand, insures a better price for that which is pro duced for sale. 4. The soil-conserving crops grown on land that would otherwise be plant ed to soil-depleting crops, protect the cooperating producer against loss of plant food and loss of soil caused by leaching and erosion. In the long run, such a change in crops grown will mean higher and more economical yields than , could otherwise be ex pected. 5. Improved soils mean better stands, fewer crop failures and lower production costs. Health Department in New Quarters.

Try “Rub-My-Tism”— World’s Best Liniment " Y OU HAVE decided on the number of acres planted to cotton this year. The "size" of those acres depends upon the yield and quality of the crop they produce and the profits which they re turn. Cotton rust and wilt decrease the size of a cotton acre; There was more cotton rust in the South last year than ever before reported. Cotton rust is potash hunger. To control rust and also to reduce wilt, apply50-100pounds of muriate of pot- ash in a nitrogen-potash top-dresser immediate ly after chopping if your fertilizer at planting did not contain enough potash. Consult your county agent or experiment station on your soil require ments. See your fertilizer manufacturer or dealer about nitrogen-potash top-dressers. Write us for further information.
