McCORMICK MESSENGER. McCORMICK. SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, January 26, 1939 V ! 5= Arm ' Reserves * To Be Increased Recruited Up To 75,000 Men, Maj. Gen. EmJbick Says. Major General Stanley D. Em bick from Army Headquarters at Atlanta announces that the Regu lar Army Reserve will be recruited up to 75,000 men immediately ac cording to instructions just re ceived from the War Department, Washington, D. C. • w ’ A change in ' the regulations which permits the enlistment of Reservists in the grade held upon discharge from the Regular Army Will greatly increase the number of enlistments according to Mili tary authorities at Fourth Corps Area Headquarters. -Reservists already enlisted will be promoted * to the grade held by them on dis charge without request. Southern boys who have served in the Army are becoming more interested in the Regular Army Reserve according to General Em- bick. Our Corps Area has risen in the standings of Corps Areas of the Army from seventh place on October 1, 1938, to second place on January 1, 1939, in the campaign inaugurated by the War Depart ment to secure enlistments. The Fourth Corps Area has always stood in first place in competitive standings insofar as recruiting for the Regular Army is concerned and if the present rate of enlist ments for the Reserve is continued the Fourth Corps Area will stand in first place when such standings are again published February 1, 1939. .The Fourth Corps Area com prises the following Southern States: Alabama, Florida, Geor gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, and Ten nessee. General Embick hopes for the cooperation of all concerned In this group of Southern States in reaching and maintaining this enviable place in this feature of National Preparedness. All prior service men are urged to contact at once the nearest Re cruiting Station or Army Post or write to the Commanding General, Fourth Corps Area, Post Office Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., for detailed information. xx 28,061 Placements; $595,264 Benefits Paid Truck Testing Unit Will Be Set Up Here February 2 During 1938 the South Carolina unemployment compensation com mission, through its employment service division, found jobs for 28,061 persons, and, through its unemployment compensation divi sion, paid $595,264.99 in job insur ance benefits, embraced in 113,000 checks, to individuals for whom no work could be found, a state- inent issued by the commission today revealed. Benefits pay ments for total and partial unem ployment averaged $5.27. * In reporting on its activities for the year, the commission an nounced that during the 12 months period contributions to taling $4,044,540.66 were collected from subject employers. The dif ference in the total benefits paid and collections for the year was attributed largely to the fact that disbursements from the unem ployment reserve fund did not start until around August 1, and further to the apparent improve ment in economic conditions dur ing the latter months of the year. In the unemployment reserve fund on December 61 were $7,818,286.61. The maximum weekly benefit payable under terms of the state law is $15, and while seme checks were for that amount, others were much smaller. The rate of bene fits for total unemployment is 50 percent of a worker’s normal week ly wages in covered employment. Payments, however, can be mad? for only a limited number of weeks. The statement showed that dur ing the year the public employ ment offices made 8,637 private placements and 19,424 public placements—a total of 28,061. At the close of the year 131,900 indi viduals were registered as needing and seeking work. Of that total, 105,591 were men and 26,309 were women. A further analysis of the figures showed that 4,417 were war veterans. Altogether 96,232 new applications for work were re ceived during the 12 months period. *It was explained, however, many were farm laborers who sought work through employment offices during the fall and winter unonths. Columbia, January 23.—A truck testing unit of the South Carolina Highway Department Vehicle In spection Division will be set up in McCormick February 2 as a part of the-department’s program to reduce , highway accidents which in 1937 took 312 lives and injured 1*433 persons. C. R. Page, chief inspector of the new division which will in spect commercial vehicles in every county of the, state in accordance with the 1938 Truck Act, an nounced today that the station will remain in McCormick through Friday, February 10. These dates may be changed owing to. incle ment weather. John M. Smith is supervisor of the mobile station, which has a personnel, of five inspectors. “All owners of commercial ve hicles of McCormick County are urged to bring in their equipment for inspection,” Chief Inspector Page said. “Every kind of vehicle except a private passenger car must be checked. We have mailed out card notices to owners asking them, to appear on certain days. However, under the 1938 Truck Act it is the owner’s responsibility to have his truck tested, and fail ure to receive a notice will not re lieve him of this duty.” Mr. Page added that owners who live in adjoining counties will be welcome at the McCormick station. He said that in some cases it would be more convenient for the owner to drive to McCormick than to go to his own county seat later for inspection. Mr. Page pointed out that since the station will remain in town for a short time only, it will be necessary that owners have their vehicles prepared in advance by a competent mechanic in order to save waste of owners’ time and inconvenience caused by repeated reinspections. If the truckers wait until the arrival of the station before goiilg to their garage man to have their equipment repaired, the garages will not be able to handle the volume of business,” he said. However, by acting now, owners can preclude the necessity of our leaving several hundred rejected vehicles in the county when the unit moves.” The chief inspector then ex plained the setup of the station, and some of the inspection re quirements. The explanation fol lows: The inspection unit comprises five inspectors and the supervisor. The mechanical equipment con sists of a photo-electric headlight tester, a wheel alignment gauge, and a floating platform brake tester, which measures both brak ing power and equalization. Also front wheel linkage and steering alignment are checked with the front end of the vehicle being raised by a hydraulic jack. Other items which are tested in clude horn, windshield wiper, tail light, stop light, parking brake, obstruction of vision, clearance lights, auxiliary lights, white light illuminating rear license plate, and trailer brakes.

Applications for emergency crop and feed loans for 1939 are now be ing received at Court House. Mc Cormick, S. C., by James M. Baker, Jr., Field Supervisor of the Emer gency Crop and Feed Loan Sec tion of the Farm Credit Adminis tration. The loans will be made, as in the past, only to farmers whose cash requirements are small and who cannot obtain credit from ! any ether source The money loaned will be limited to the farmer’s immediate and actual cash needs for growing his 1939’crops or for the purchase of feed for livestock. Farmers who can obtain the funds they need from an individ ual, production credit association, bank, or other concern are not eligible for crop and feed loans from the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Section of the Farm Credit Administration. The loans will not be made to standard re habilitation clients whose current needs are provided for by the Farm Security Administration, for merly known as the Resettlement Administration. As in the past, farmers who ob tain emergency crop and feed loans will give as security a first lien on the crop financed, or a first lien on the livestock to be fed if the money borrowed is to be used to produce or purchase feed for livestock. Where loans are made to ten ants, the landlords, or others hav ing an interest in the crops finan ced or the livestock to be fed, are required to waive their claims in favor of a lien to the Governor of the Farm Credit Administration until the loan is repaid. Checks in payment of approved loans will be mailed frem the Regional Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Office at Columbia, South Carolina. they have why the said’Admiriis- traticn should not be granted.

Clemson, Jan. 21.—The 5,600,000 farm woodland acres in South Carolina could yield $11,200,000 as contrasted with the $2,700,000 re ported in the 1935 Census; so the farmers of the state are losing $8,500,000 annually through burn ing, slashing, and over-cutting their woodlands, M. H. Bruner extension forester declares. In ether words, through a broac program of woodland management including protection from fire thinning for fuelwood, tobacco wood, and pulpwood, and cutting mature stands through individua tree selection for poles, piling, anc sawtimber, farmers can earn $2.0C an acre each year from their tim berlards instead of the 47 cent: per acre shown in the CehsuL figures. “This $8,500,000 represents loss only as it concerns farm welfare”, says Mr. Bruner. “Many addi- tinal tangible and intangible 1c ses to communities, counties, ard the state become apparent. Obviously, woodlands producing b. t one-fourth of their earning cr.pacity can support a similar r oportion of the forest indus- ties. It follows, therefore, that ex- F ^ vision of forest industries in the str.te is dependent largely upon tl 2 producing capacity of the to- trl woodland area of which farm \v:odlands include 43 per cent.” xx Preparing for a banner travel year in 1939, TWA is sending pret ty air hostesses from all over its system to inspect the wonders of the 1939 California World’s Fair opening February 18 on Treasure Island.
