D. Club Meets The impressive variety and qual ity of articles made in the Palmetto State will be a revelation to those who attend the South Carolina Pro ducts Exposition which is to be held in Charleston the week of Oc tober 3-8, at the Fort Sumter Hotel. Sponsored by The News & Cour ier, endorsed by Governor I. C. Blackwood, and receiving the hearty co-operation of civic organ izations throughout the state, the event promises to be one of unusuol interest, coming at a time when South Carolinians are being urged to lift their state out of the de pression by patronizing home in dustries and businesses. The Exposition will be enlivened by various features that will }' ,Qlv make the event a gala one. The products are to be displayed at the Fort Sumter Hotel, overlooking the harbor and Atlantic ocean. Band music will be rendered on the battery adjoining the hotel grounds. Motor boat racing and water sports are planned. A fash ion review each evening) under the auspices of the Junior League w.ill display the newest styles, colors and materials with emphasis on such ready-to-wear as has been pro duced in part or in whole in South Carolina. The merchants of the city will display South Carolina products throughout the week and attractive prices on these goods will be offered. South Carolinians do not realize that many articles in every day use are produced and manufactured in their own state.. This fact will be. brought home convincingly to them as they view an amazing variety of exhibits such as fine printed cloths, hosiery, shirts, handkerchiefs, tow els, women’s dresses, wall cleaning materials, antiseptics, statuary, canned fruit and vegetables, cheese, butter, toys, window shades, drap eries, bed spreads, mattresses, paints and varnishes, asbestos pro ducts, bagging for wrapping cotton, novelty and bedroom furniture, chairs, and numerous other goods. The City of Charleston, manu facturers of the state, chambers of commerce, luncheon clubs, and other civic agfencies are according the Exposition their enthusiastic support, appreciating the fact that it will be of edueational value and of economic importance to the public. The federal government, through the (Charleston district office of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Do mestic Commerce, is to participate in the Exposition. Hotels of Char leston hdve announced special rates to accommodate visitors, many oi whom are expected here from all parts of South Carolina.

GENEVA RIDLEHOOVER, ' Reporter^ Welfare Agents Of Nation Ready To Latinch Work WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Lead ers in the country’s welfare work returned homeward Friday, mobil ized nationally for an autumn drive for funds to meet the winter's re lief needs. Twenty-nine social service or ganizations were in the mobiliza tion directed by Newton D. Baker, former war secretary. Representa tives of all in conference Thursday had received President Hoover's charge that “no man, woman Or child shall go hungry or unshelter ed” during the cold months. Baker told the relief agencies, organized-^^der the. National citi zens’ committee of the welfare-and’ relief mobilization which he heads., that to public relief aids “must be added a devotion of every private resource.” Atlee Pomerene, chairman of the Reconstruction Corporation, which is handling a $300,000,000 federal relief fund, said “the ultimate res ponsibility for furnishing relief and work relief to people in dis tress does and should rest with the states, the political subdivisions of the states and the municipalities.” The committee sets October 17 to November 28 for its campaign to raise relief funds. The national conference members will conduct an informative campaign to stimu late local communities ?n attacking heir relief problems. s X i pas.
