The purposes of the training given in the camps are: to pro mote the physical development and mental alertness of the young men, to teach them the value of discipline, and to prepare them for leadership as citizens of their state and country. Young men from most of the northeastern counties of Georgia and all of South Carolina except a few cuonties in the northeastern part of the state will attend the camp at Fort Moultrie, S. C. They may consider themselves unusual ly fortunate in having a location which is perhaps the most attrac tive and generally desirable of all. As most of South Carolinians know. Fort Moultrie, which is in itself of great historic interest, is situated only about five miles from Charleston, one of the two most picturesque and storied cities in America. Moreover, Fort Moultrie is on Sullivan’s Island, whose bathing beaches, together with those of the Isle of Palms adja cent to it, are said to be unexcell ed on our Atlantic Coast north of Florida. The Camp site this year will be in the so-called National Guard Area, the same area which was used in 1937 and preceding years, very convenient to the post ex change, motion picture theater, golf course, baseball field, etc., as well as to bathing beaches. Tents will be framed and have concrete floors, and each company will have its own mess hall, a frame building which will accommodate the whole company at one sitting. The Camp at Fort Moultrie will be held from June 7 to July 6, both dates inclusive. Applicants for the camps must be at least seventeen (17) years of age on the opening date. Appli cations for Fort Moultrie may be addressed to the County C. M. T. C., representative for the coun ty in which the applicant resides or to the C. M. T. Camp Area Com mander, Fort Moultrie, S. C. It is important that these be sent in promptly, as the camp quotas are usually filled far in advance of the opening date. You may obtain application blanks and information folders and other information relative to entering C. M. T. C. this summer from Dr. C. K. Epting. S. C. E. A Conven tion Notes Nominations for 1940-41 officers of the S. C. E. A. will be made at the opening session of the annual convention in Greenville, March 13-15. The inaugural session has been set for Wednesday, March 13, at 8 p. m. Voting on the nominees will be held the next day between 9 a. m. and 4 p. m. Present officers of the associa tion are W. F. Loggins, Greenville, President, and E. R. Crow of Columbia, vice-president. One thousand state high school youngsters will raise their voices in song when the S. C. E. A. meets in annual sessions at Greenville, March 13-15. They will compose the all-state high school chorus, scheduled for a concert at noon, Friday, March 15. Edwin Gavin, director of music for the Columbia city schools, will direct the chorus. Dr. Boyd D. Bode, professor of education at Ohio State Universi ty, who will be heard during the annual convention of the S. C. E. A. in Greenville, is a prolific writer in the field of education and philosophy. He is the author of seven books on those subjects and co-author pf five other volumes. A major attraction at the an nual convention of the S. C. E. A. will be the exhibits of 54 publish ers, institutions and business firms. These booths will be on the basement floor of Textile hall, official headquarters for the con vention in Greenville, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, March 1^, 14 and 15. The exhibits will give thousands a Vivid picture of the most modern school supplies, in cluding texts.

A. is expected to jam the Textile Center of the South with about 9,000 visitors. This is the biggest convention in the state. Your Social Security Account Number Record “Workers should give employers the exact name and number as it appears on their social security card,’’ declared Miss Martha Press- ly, Field Office Manager of the Social Security Board at Green wood, S. C. “This is necessary,” she said, “in keeping their wage record account with the Social Security Board straight.” If your wages are reported by your em ployer by a name other than that which appears on your card, or if there is a transposition of a num ber on the card, or any other in accuracy on the part of your em ployer in reporting your wages to the Bureau of Internal Revenue you may have some trouble in es tablishing your wage record ac count upon which is based your monthly insurance payments. “If you have married since se curing a social security card and are now working under your mar ried name instead of the name appearing on your social security card, you should notify my office in the Hodges Building so that we may make the necessary changes in our records,” she said Many single girls have made th mistake of getting new nuiribe' upon marriage.

A. is one of the strongest organizations in the state from the viewpoint of mem bers. The last count showed that the association had 9,778 paid-up memberships, only 60 short of 100 per cent. The 60 persons in the state not yet enrolled in the S. C. E. A. are expected to join before the annual convention in Green ville, March 13-15. The associa tion has been 100 per cent for the last two years, a record held by no other such organization in the U. S. tXt IN HIS NAME —by— WILLIE S. CROMER Christ is a king. Over and over again he emphasized that fact. He s king by right of creation. He vas in the beginning; he breathed ; nto man’s nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. He is king by right of pro tection. It is his love and good ness that supply man with the es sentials for sustaining life. He is king by right of perfection in righteousness and holiness, and by ight of the Sonship to the heavenly Father. But Christ’s kingdom was not of this world; that is, it was not a political kingdom. The disciples and the general public misunder stood him in this respect,—they "bought he was to establish a political throne, and overthrow Caesar. But Christ came to abide in the hearts of humanity, to change the attitudes and ideals of a sinful heart. His was to be a Kingdom of righteousness,—of peace on earth, goodwill to all men. He meant to root out evil from humanity, and to implant there his abiding spirit. This is a slow work, requiring much patience and persistence. For this reason it was necessary for Jesus to die on the cross. Yes, necessary for a king to die. It was difficult for the disciples to grasp the logic of this spiritual reason ing. Today Christ is king among many; king supreme in the hearts of millions of people. But he is not lord over all the world, be- ?.aasc many have not accepted nlrn; there are even many who never heard of him. It is Christ’s plan to rule over all the world. How shall we make him king in the world today? Not by armies; not by bombers flying over enemy cities; not by the spirit of military aggression moving a- gainst a weaker nation; not by revolution; not by legislative laws; but by implanting his spirit, his ’ove and his teachings into every heart in every community of every nation in all the world. For Jesus, himself, said in his parting words, “Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in‘ the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Pastor, Duke Street Baptist Church Ninety Six, S.

Early Spring Guide On Care Of Livestock Providing for ample feeds and proper feeding are the most im portant matters in attention to livestock in March, says County Agent D. Austin Shelley, in making spring livestock suggestions. Animal Husbandry Give brood sows special atten tion at farrowing time. Large lit ters mean greater profits. Place sows and young pigs on territory uninfested with para sites. Cull out the unproductive sows. Plan to plant some Biloxi soy beans for hog grazing. Use barley, rye, and oats for grazing with beef cattle and hogs. Give the ewes special care at lambing time. “Lambing time is the shepherd’s harvest.” Prefer oats to com when mules start heavy work. Sow lespedeza in permanent pastures. Dairying Remove milking cows from lightly onion-infested pastures five hours before milking. Keep cows off of heavily infested onion pastures. Clean up lots and haul off lit ter to destroy breeding places for flies. Use some acreage cut from cot ton for more feed crops. Silage and legume hay make deal roughage feed for next win ter. Plant one-half acre per cow in pearl millet for summer grazing. Clear brush and apply 20G pounds of superphosphate and one ton of ground limestone per acre to permanent pastures. Sow lespedeza on permanent pasture sod if none is present. Poultry Raise baby chicks on new ground. Provide feed for chicks in clean troughs or hoppers. Get chicks into sunshine early. Clean brooder houses regularly. Plant green feed for summer. Arrange to procure stock for flock improvement next season.
