J. Lemon, Mrs. Mar vin Holland, Mrs. R. E. Brown, Mrs. Bates Hagood, Mrs. George R. Evans, Mrs. B. W. Sexton, Mrs. J. X. Harley, Jr., Mrs. Ira Pales, Mrs. ■J. W. Ruff, Mrs. B. P. Davies, Sr., Xrs. Henry D. Mole, Mrs. Lessie B. Easterling, and Miss Margaret Mrs. W. C. Cathcart, Supervisor of the Children’s Bureau, and Miss Josephine Y. Ayer, Case Worker for this territory, were in Barn well and vicinity Wednesday of last week working for some of the County’s children. Mrs. Cathcart and Miss Ayer stated that Barnwell County was “keeping us busy,” but that the co operation here among public offi cials and private citizens was “so excellent that it made up for the hard work.” The Children’s Bureau is a separate Department of State Government that has been func tioning for 17 years as a child wel fare agency. It is interested in the welfare of all of the State’s children, but it is especially con cerned over those children whose parents are dead, foundlings, chil dren who have been deserted by their parents, and other little un fortunate children. When asked what was done with the children who came into their care, Mrs. Cathcart explained that the Bureau found free foster homes for some of them; arranged place ment of others in orphanages, schools, and other institutions; lo cated and interested relatives in others of the children; and some times merely interested other agen cies and individuals in the case. “We have plenty of applications for children—especially for young children,” Mrs. Cathcart said. She added that they really needed some good homes for older boys and girls where they could enjoy that home life that every child needs and should have, and where they would share the duties of the home with out feeling that they were servants just as “own children” would do. “Yes,” she said, “we advocate adoption for the young children, but, of course, adoption is not al ways wise in the case of these old er children.” Another crying need of the Bureau is for ‘more money to en large the Bureau’s, boarding home plan so that it could accept those children for observation who have questionable mental or physicial backgrounds and keep them until their cases could be observed for a sufficient period of time to make the wisest possible plan for their future,” Mrs. Cathcart concluded.

This meeting was the first of its kind in the history of the associa tion and proved to be most popular with the deacons, many of whom stated that they hoped it w f ould not be the last.

Washington, Nov. 21.—As the senate agricultural committee ap peared likely to approve the general farm bill, which had been under consideration in the committee since the special session of congress had convened, Chairman Ellison D. (“Cotton Ed”) Smith of South Carolina said he planned to intro duce in the senate and push to pas sage at this session, if possible, a $50,000,000 seed loan bill. For the last eight or ten years Senator Smith has been the sponsor of these crop production loans. Since the inception of this federal loan program, millions of farmers who were unable to obtain loans elsewhere have availed themselves of this form of credit and produced crops, which they could not have planted if the loan program had not been in effect. With respect to the repayment of the borrowed money, Smith said, “In every State in which these loans have been made, with the exception of some of the Western States that suffered from the recent drought, more than 90 per cent, of them have been promptly repaid—South Caro lina and Alabama repaid approxi mately 98 per cent, of the money borrowed.” Smith planned to drop his bill in the hopper. He also plans to con fer with other senators who are in terested in the program. The veteran legislator in explain ing the provisions of the bill said that it would be essentially the same as in previous years. The facilities of the farm credit dmin- istration will be utilized to admin ister the program.
