The South Carolina State Board
of Health has issued new rules
and regulations and code govern
ing hotels and restaurants in the
State, says Mr. J. P. King, Jr.,
Sanitary Officer for Abbeville and
McCormick Counties. These rules
and regulations are set up under
special legislation of the State
Legislature, empowering the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Health
Department to regulate “hotels”
and “restaurants” as the Commit
tee sees necessary.
Under these new laws it is nec
essary for every establishment,
regardless of size or number of
rooms, who receives pay for eating
and sleeping accommodations for
a period of less than one week to
receive a permit of operation prior
to January 1st, 1940.
Establishments, after receiving
a permit to operate, will be in
spected at least once a month, and
at all other times the inspector
sees fit. Isolation of the 'terms
of a permit of operation will re
sult in revoking of the permit and
the closing of the establishment.
The method of inspection has
been set up in such a way as to
leave little to the judgment of the
Inspector, thus making the in
spections over the State closely
uniform.
In the near future, Mr. King
states, he will call upon every
hotel or restaurant and deliver a
copy of th£ laws. He will also
have an interpretative code to ex
plain to each proprietor the law,
its meaning, reason for being, and
what will be satisfactory compli
ance. However, he states the re
sponsibility of receiving a permit
to operate is on the proprietor
and manager. If anyone is in
doubt if they will be classifier’ is
a hotel or restaurant they sb'" id
notify the County Health Dei—la
ment. Hot Dog stands, ice c * ~ n
stands, soda fountains, and r'^ir
serving food and drink on sr'' T -' a
small scale are “restaurants'’ in
the terms of the law.
It is not the purpose of ie
Health Department, adds * Ir.
King, to be overbearing on a 'r-
son endeavoring to make a li \g.
The sole object is to protect he
public, and assure anyone er ing
or sleeping in a public place in
South Carolina that their chances
of contracting a communicable
disease in such places are cut to
a minimum. The rules tend to
prqtect the legitimate places and
to eliminate “joints”.
Cotton farmers of the United
States are better prepared through
;he marketing quota provisions of
;he AAA Farm Program to protect
themselves from effects of the
European war today than they
were during the World War, de
clares H. M. Freeland, county
AAA chairman.
“Through the adjustment pro
visions of the program and mar
keting quotas, farmers have the
means to keep the supplies of cot
ton in line with demand—some
thing they did not have in 1914”,
Mr. Freeland says. “Farmers learn
ed .then what happened when cot
ton was thrown on an over-sup-
plied market. In 1914-15 the war
weakened demand for a large
American crop and caused the
price to drop from about 12 cents
to 6 1-2 cents. In contrast to this,
since the European war broke out
in 1939, the farm price of cotton,
supported by loans, has actually
increased slightly despite a large
supply.
Cotton marketing quotas and
acreage allotments are the farm
ers’ tools for adjusting the supply
of cotton to be placed on the
market”, Mr. Freeland states.
During the World War the laws
of economics worked against the
cotton farmer. But now farmers
can, through the Farm Program,
do their dfon adjusting and place
on the market that amount of
cotton which can be sold for a
reasonable price.”
McCormick county farmers will
vote, along with other cotton
farmers of the nation, on Decem
ber 7 on whether or not they want
marketing quotas to be in effect
on the 1941 crop. A favorable
vote of two-thirds is necessary be
fore quotas will be operative.

National Defense
Training Classes
Conducted By WPA
In conjunction with national
education week, with its theme of
Education for the Common De
fense, South Carolina is watching
with interest the progress of the
national defense training classes
now being conducted in various
parts of the state and paid for, in
part, by the WPA.
These schools are sponsored
nationally by the council of
national defense and co-sponsor
ed by the office of education, rep
resented in South Carolina by the
stete board of education.
Supervision of the schools is
directly under the industrial and
vocational departments of public
schools in which they are located,
and for the most part, instructors
are vocational training teachers
from the school.
WPA enrollees in these classes are
selected from the certified work-
