Moser, research specialist in home economics of the South Carolina Experiment Station. This statement Miss Moser makes ! Jfh connection with her study en titled, “Farm Family Diets in the South Carolina Piedmont”, pub lished as Circular 53. This circular Is based on the study reported in detail in Station Bulletin 300, •'Food Consumption and Use of -Time for Food Work Among Farm Families in the South Carolina Piedmont.” **A shortage of iron was the most frequent deficiency found in white family diets and the deficiency was more common in summer be cause fewer leafy greens, less sor ghum syrup, and less lean meat were used than at. other seasons”, Miss Moser points out. For improving the nutritional value of farm family diets Miss Moser recommends/ 1. More milk should be produced for home consumption. A quart per person per day is not too much. 2. Whole com meal andjor whole wheat flour should form a good share of the grain products used. ^ 3. Vegetables and fruits the year round more than pay their way in Improved nutrition. 4. A good share of the sugars should be in the form of sorghum (or cane) syrup, especially in low- cost diets where eggs, lean meat, and vegetables are not plentiful. 5. Some eggs and lean meat should be included if possible. 6. A well planned food produc tion program is the best way to se cure these improvements. x Handwriting Index To Character, S. C, ; : Professor Says COLUMBIA, July 8.—Does hand writing reveal character? “To a certain extent, handwrit ing may reveal some’traits, such as artistic ability and manual dexter ity in general”, says Dr. G. A. Wauchope, professor of English language and literature at the University of South Carolina. “Handwriting indicates the type of nervous system, the ability to co ordinate, but it is not an infallible guide,” he continued. “Thackeray, who was a large and very masculine man,'wrote a small, effeminate hand.” NOTICE OF DISCHARGE AND FINAL SETTLEMENT Home Coming Day At Holiness Church - Second Sunday, July There will be home coming day at McCormick Pentecostal Holiness Church on the second Sunday in July. Everybody is invited to come and be with us on that day. Bring well filled baskets. The day will be spent in singing and prayer to God for all of His blessings which Ha has bestowed upon us. REV. W.

Henry Ford, founder, and Edsel Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company, watched the final as sembly of the historic Ford. The car started at once on a 2,700-mile journey to San Diego, Calif., where it will be placed on exhibit in the Ford Exposition at the California Pacific International Exposition. The completion of 1,000,000 Fords in less than a year since the 1,- 000,000th V-8 Ford was manufac tured June 19, 1934, recalled Mr. Ford's prediction late last year that the Ford Motor Company “would build better than a million in 1935.” The 2,000,000th V-8 Ford is the fourth historic Ford car which has blazed a transcontinental trail to the Pacific Coast, each over one of the four principal trunk highways between the Atlantic and Pacific. Back in 1909, a Model T Ford, then virtually a newcomer in the automobile field but destined to become the most famous type of motor car ever manufactured, dash ed across the continent from New York to Seattle to win the Guggen heim trophy in a transcontinental race ending at the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition. Mr. Ford him self greeted the winning Ford car at the finish. The next historic Ford to write transcontinental history was the 10,000,000th Ford, another Model T which, after it came off the final assembly line at the Highland Park plant in 1924, was driven from New York to San Francisco over the Lincoln Highway. . The third was the 20,000,000th Ford, a Model A. After it was completed at the Rouge plant in 1931 it was driven to New York and thence across the country to Los Angeles and San Francisco. The fourth Ford to make trans portation history was the 1,000,- 000th V-8 Ford which was manu factured at the Rouge plant June 19 last year and driven to Chicago where it was placed on exhibition at the Ford Exposition at the World’s Fair. [25(1 My Experiences In 4-H Club Work” (Virginia Freeland) When I first began attendin'^ the 4-H Club meetings in our school.. I was in the seventh grade. My first project was Foods No. 1, and my agent was Mrs. Nell Stallworth. \fter each meeting I would come home and prepare some dish that we had been taught to make in the ’lub. The work was so interesting that I often wondered why it had and is very suitable for a blue room, because it has light colors in it. Another picture I chose is one of a bench, watching a little red bird singing up in the tree. I studied Clothing the next year, and at the end of the school year we had a dress revue. My dress f hat I entered in the contest was of blue dotted swiss with ripples and gored skirt. I felt very proud of that dress, even though it didn’t win first place. This past year we have had a new leader in our county. Although we miss Mrs. Banks, we feel lust as proud of Miss Harvey, whom we all have learned to love just in this not been started before then. There would be an awfully lonely feeling short time that she has been with BILIOUSNESS STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF The Dorn Banking Co. located at McCormick, S.

And then, I have five per fectly lovely short courses to re member. My first camp was held at Lan der College at Greenwood. Never will I forget the thrill that first camp gave me! We sang club songs, held morning watch and vesper services—which I never failed to attend. They were so in spiring. That year we made tarns. They were already cut for us and we lined them with net. For the next three years, we attended camp at the same place: The last year at Lander, we were in camp with Saluda and Greenwood County club girls. I had the nicest time that year! There were so many new people to meet and new friends to make^. and all the girls were just charm ing to chum with. The rooms be ing over crowded that year, my agent gave me a guest room by myself. The first afternoon after I had arranged my room in order, I went out and closed the door. When I tried to get back in that night, to my astonishment, the doer was locked. Evidently the spring lock on the door had fast ened as I had closed the door. I spent that night with my “next door neighbors”, as Mrs. Speake, who had the key, had already re tired. After that experience I was particularly careful closing the door. That same summer, I attended the State Short Course at Winthrop College. Words cannot express the lovely things we did at Winthrop adequately enough. All I can say is, that I had a grand and glorious week at Rock Hill and enjoyed ev ery minute of my time there. Last summer, we went to Charles ton to the Citadel for our short course. Mrs. Stallworth Banks in formed me the afternoon of our arrival that she wanted me for one of her leaders. I had eleven girls in my group. We had a nice time seeing the sights of Charleston to gether. All the girls were just as sweet as they could be. During our stay there we visited the Art Gallery and Museum, the two places I thought most interesting. Other places of interest were the News and Courier office, the Municipal Pool, and the Globe Theatre. On July 4th we went over to the Isle of Palms, where many folks were celebrating the occasion. During the 4th of July, there were some battleships anchored at the dock. They had to come to port to fire the shots at twelve o’clock. We were carried to Fort Sumter on one ship, “The Sprigg Carroll”, where we spent an entire afternoon on the island. We were also taken on a tour to Fort Moul trie where we visited Oscala’s Dun geon. Many of us already knew the story of the brave Indian Chief, who was captured there under the flag of truce, and who later died in that dungeon. Hampton Park af forded interest to many of the girls, who liked to watch the animals. Everyone was sorry when this camp ended. In my second year of club work, we took Foods No. 2 for our proj ect and we learned many useful things about cocking, that I hadn’t known before. Each summer I canned the required number of jars of fruit and vegetables in order to complete my club work proj ects. Room Improvement was my next rroject. My interest in club work decidedly increased during this y ar, for I like to try to make my room neat and pretty. I made laundry bags, curtains, pillow slips. s>.oe bags and dresser sets for my room, which is painted light bluo v. ith dark brown woodwork. I had a vanity stool made to place before my dresser, and covered it with cretonne. I spent much time se lecting pictures for my room. I finally decided to use as one of my pictures one I had made at short course. It is a picture of a moth er holding her child in her arms, us. She has shown much interest in our club meetings and we have already had our Achievement Day and are looking forward to our short course, which is to be held at Camp Long, near Aiken, S. C., sometime in August. We had Mrs. Johnson as our honor guest at Mc Cormick on Achievement Day. She was with us just that morning and for lunch, as she had to attend Achievement Day at Edgefield that afternoon. This year, I had again as my project. Room, Improvement, have completed three pairs of cur tains and hanged them in my room, varnished all of the furni ture over, and enameled the bed The looks of the room have cer tainly been improved and I am gp- ing to repaint it this summer. 4-H Club work has meant more to me, a country girl, than I can ever be able to express. It has given to me higher ideals in life, caused me to feel a deeper patriot ism and love for my country and the people who inhabit it; club songs inspire me, club short courses entertain me, and club work inter ests me as does nothing else. I sincerely hope that every per son in this universe, and especially our own United States, will sooner or later come to realize as I do the great benefit and need of continu ing the great work that the 4-H* clubs are doing, and raise 4-H club work on a pedestal and to even greater heights than have already been attained. TXT Ham As Basis For One-Dish Meals It i/—» BY PATRICIA DOW The smoky twang and full flavor of cured ham gives it no end of versatility when food combinations are being sought, and, whether the combination be one with bland flavored vegetables or fruits of de cidedly characteristic flavor, ham may be used with equal advantage. Cooking meat with vegetables, says Inez S. Willson, home econo mist, is good from the standpoint of flavor. Besides it is a great help to the housewife who has to find time for outside activities and who can’t afford to spend her entire time in the kitchen cooking and washing dishes. And very often the com bination dish may be cooked in the oven and need very little attention. Ham and Potatoes en Casserole Meat and potatoes are usually re garded as the mainstays of every meal, and these make a splendid combination for the baking dish. Place a thick ham slice in the bak ing dish and over it slice the pota toes. Pour milk over it, cover, and bake until both potatoes and ham are done. Ham and Noodles As an interesting substitute for ham and potatoes, • try ham and noodles en casserole. Place a layer of broad cooked noodles in a baking dish. Q«'cr it place a layer of chopped cooked ham, theri another layer of noodles, and repeat until the dish is nearly full. Pour over this 2 eggs beaten with 1- 1-2 cups milk. Dot with butter and bake in a moderate oven for about 40 minutes. Serve with a well-seasoned tomato sauce. A crisp vegetable salad, and a dish of fresh fruit might well com- olete this easily prepared and *ie- iciously appetizing meal. Peas and carrots are always rooc’ with ham. These may be add*d tc a potato and ham casserole, or Jiey may make up the vegetable part o he dish. They are especially good for a ham pie. Hanr Pie Place an inch layer of well whip oed mashed potatoes in a b^t're^ baking dish, their a half inch r .._ r r.f chopped ?oo!ic1 ham. Cov- "r with a layer of drained peas, o and carrots. Cover with an other layer of hanr and repeat un til the dish is filled'. Pipe a border of mashed potatoes over the top and set in the oven to brown the potatoes and heat tile meati andj vegetables..
