Thursday, September 8, 1932 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER TWO Mm Extension Telephones Pay Pig Dividends in Comfort, Convenience Upstairs, downstairs, and all around the house r extension telephones can save many steps and inconveniences. In the kitchen, for exam ple, an extension telephone helps to eliminate the risk of burning food. Having an ex tension telephone beside your bed not only saves you from getting up to answer calls but also gives you a feeling of protection at night. And an extension telephone in the hall will permit you to carry on a conversation in private—without embar rassment to you or others. We will gladly arrange to have an extension telephone placed wherever your house hold requires. Just call our office. * S. C. CONTINENTAL TELEPHONE CO. GRUB . . .

They still don’t let women into Masonic and other ; lodges, but most of the railroads are finding it impossible to keep them out of the smoking cars. I traveled from New York to Wash ington a short time ago and found that the socalled “club car,”, for merly an exclusively male sanctum, had put in a lot of fancy sofas and doodads for the benefit of women smokers.

Perhaps, too, after ten thousand years of mech anical locomotion, we won’t need any legs at all. AMAZING . . . Olympic receipts— The most amazing statement I have seen in print in years is that the Oylmpic Games Committee nas enough money on hand from ad mission receipts to pay back the million dollars which the state of California lent in 1927 to finance jthe preparations for the great in ternational athletic tournament. I do not remember ever having heard of a state or a government getting back any money that it nad lent. And what makes it the more amazing is that there were ouu,- 0UU paid admissions to the Olympic Games in this year of deepest de pression. It all goes to show that California is a wonderful state, and that there are still some sports-loving people with money left in the world. BAROMETER . . . human suffering Evangeline Booth says things are getting better. She ought to know. She is the head of the one organi zation in the world that is closes; to human suffering. That is the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army reaches down ro the lowest strata of hu manity. It deals with human be ings as individuals in trouble. Its officers know r better chan anyone else when times are hard and when they are easier. So when Miss Booth says that things are getting better, I, personally, would place more reliance upon her report than on those of all the economists and statisticians in the world. The de mands upon the Salvation Army for help are an accurate barometer of human necessities. WRINKLES . . Neckwear and skirts The big industries of the future are coming cut of the research laboratories every day. The latest is a process of treating cotton, ray on and silk fabrics so that they will not crease or retain permanent wrinkles. That should interest men as well as women, for one of the hereto fore unsolved problems of civilza- tion has been how to wear a neck tie more than three times without getting it all wrinkled up! And ev ery woman who rides in- an auto mobile Imows how difficult it is to keep her skirt from showing wrinkles.

The new hall will be ready for this year’s fair at Oklahoma City, starting September 24, according to Ralph T. Hemphill, manager of the fair. The new building is being erected at a cost of $50,000 and will be one f of the finfest structures of its kind in the country. It is of fire-proof construction throughout and will be used for no i ether purpose than headquarters ! for club folks. It replaces an old frame structure in which the first | exhibits of 4-H products were made I in the .days when club work was just getting under way. I The building is to be 56 feet wide and 262 feet long’ two stories high and of brick and concrete. It will enable the several hundred boys and girls who annually have at tended the fair in recent years to enter into competitive demonstra tions. The new club building will be opened with elaborate dedica tion ceremonies just preceding the fair at which leading state officials ' and club leaders of the state will j ;ake part. B. A.
