WHAT YOUR STATE IS DOING! The Crippled Children’s Division of the South Carolina State Board of Health is taking a very active part in the program of the pre vention and correction of crip pling conditions, and the rehabili tation of cripples in the state who are indigent and are under 21 years of age. During the past six years services have been rendered to a great number and at the present time more than 4,000 such individuals are registered for care. The program is financed through an appropriation by the state which approximates $44,000 per year and allocation of funds through the Children’s Bureau which amount to approximately $95,000 per year. Monies are used for hospitalization, foster home care, purchase of appliances and clinic services. The state is divided into five districts, each of which is in charge of a recognized ortho pedic surgeon. Clinics are held in each district at weekly intervals. Approximately 1800 patients are seen at the clinic each year and some 600 are hospitalized and cared for in foster homes. Services of the Division for Crippled Chil dren of the State Board of Health are for all races and creeds. Chil dren are admitted to the service through the county health de partments. Any organizations and individuals who are interested in a crippled child can be of service to the program by reporting such child, giving name, address, and approximate age to any repre sentative of the county health de partment. There are registered in the state from individual counties as follows: Abbeville 33 .Aiken __ __ 94 Allendale __ __ 27 Anderson 11 Bamberg 29 Barnwell 34 Beaufort __ 43 Berkeley __ __ 34 Calhoun __ __ 43 Charleston 382 Cherokee 69 Chester __ __ 7 Chesterfield 11 Clarendon 33 Colleton 37 Darlington __ __ 117 Dillon 57 Dorchester __ 40 Edgefield 4 Fairfield 51 Florence __ __ 159 Georgetown __ 58 Greenville 175 Greenwood __ 63 Hampton __ __ 27 Horry 96 Jasper __ __ 20 Kershaw __ 53 Lancaster __ 66 Laurens 5 Lexington 72 Lee 46 McCormick __ __ 49 Marion 47 Marlboro __ __ 59 Newberry __ __ 36 Oconee 84 Orangeburg __ 124 Pickens __ 49 Richland 148 Saluda __ 50 Spartanburg __ __ 260 Sumter __ __ 66 Union 69 Williamsburg 65 York __ __ 76 Number Certified For WPA Employment Find Other Work Bachelor’s Club TO HAVE ANNUAL SPRING COTILLION IN GREENWWOD ON APRIL 25TH.

Card Of Thanks IS ic or At the end of February 7, 184 persons certified for WPA employ ment in South Carolina had found temporary work in other employ ment in the state, it was an nounced yesterday by Lawrence ,| M. Pinckney, WPA state adminis trator. Seven out of eight of these fortunate persons were men, it was disclosed. During January 816 other for mer WPA employees in the state left WPA projects after finding other employment. The prelimi nary figure for February shows that 686 additional persons had left for other employment. In addition 1,870 persons left WPA projects in South Carolina during January, and more than 1,600 others resigned during Feb ruary for reasons unknown, pre sumably because they had found other employment. In South Carolina this year more than 2,200 WPA employees have farming arrangements with landlords and are being released from WPA projects in accordance with these landlord agreements. Persons terminated from WPA projects to accept other employ ment may return to their WPA jobs at the expiration of such em ployment, provided they have lost the work through no fault of their own. During January 255 persons who lost their temporary employment returned to WPA projects. The preliminary figure for February is 118. During January and February a year ago 852 persons returned to WPA projects after losing other temporary employment. Despite the increased tempo of trade and general business activity as the result of defense expendi tures, it is estimated on the basis of sample surveys throughout the state that there are still approxi mately 30,000 families eligible for WPA employment under the agency’s present regulations who are not certified to WPA. xx Food Production Is Big Nutrition Problem Mr. G. P. Furqueron and chil- Clemson, April 12.—“If the con ditions of the poorly nourished farm people of the state are to be improved, it will be necessary to correct some of the basic de fects of the present farming sys tems”, declared a subcommittee of the state nutrition conference in Columbia, April 5. This committee, on food produc tion problems, consists of Dr. H P. Cooper, director of the South Carolina Experiment Station; R F. Kolb, state director of the Farm Security Administration; and Miss Lonny I. Landrum, state home demonstration agent of the Ex tension Service. “Many of our future activities will have to be based on the nu tritional needs of the family, rather than on commercial eco nomic principles”, said the com mittee. “One of our biggest nu tritional problems is getting the underprivileged farmer on poor land to improve sufficient land to enable him to produce crops needed for family food require ments. “Such a program cannot affect the general surplus commodities problem, since the underprivileged people cannot purchase many of the desirable foods. They have to produce certain foods or they do not have them.” Discussing the basic soil condi tions affecting problems of food production, Dr. Cooper’s commit- ;ee pointed out these significant acts: 1. Our producers of food and eed crops have found it difficult to compete with growers in regions with more productive soils. 2. About 40 per cent of the state’s farm land is strongly to extremely acid and not capable of producing the diversified agricul- ure desirable in meeting the arm family’s nutritional require ments. Much of this type of land is farmed by tenant farmers, and practically no opportunity exists o establish the much needed ive-at-home program until those soil deficiencies are corrected. 3. Another 40 per cent, mod erately acid, is capable of pro- dren wish to use this means of ducing cotton and tobacco with expressing their most sincere large amounts of well balanced thanks to their neighbors and fertilizer, but still too acid for other friends for the many acts of most economic production of food kindness to them during his re cent illness, from which he has about recovered. — ) and feed crops. 4.
