Columbia, April 22.—The State of South Carolina has been selec ted by the U. S. Treasury Depart ment as one of the six States in which the sale of the new Defense Bonds will be tested. The other five States are Michigan, Con necticut, Missouri, Texas, rnd North Carolina. Without a d nibt, this is a distinct honor to -mr State, but at the same tirr- it places upon the citizens of *ie State a duty to see that its re '"♦n- tion for loyalty and patriotic”- :o the country in time of emerr^ 'ey is upheld. So many people r.re asking at this time in what "’ay they can assist the Goverr ’*?nt in this emergency. The off r ing for sale of Defense Bonds by the Treasury Department now rives every citizen, rich or poor, young or old, an opportunity to assist his or her Government. The Secretary of the Treasury has designated the Collector of Internal Revenue, W. P. Bowers, to administer or supervise the sale of these bonds in this State. The actual sale of the bonds will be by the banks and post offices and they will be placed on sale May 1, 1941. A State Committee consist ing of Governor Burnet R. May- bank, Honorary Chairman; James H. Hammond, Attorney-at-Law, Columbia, South Carolina, Active Chairman; Mrs. A. F. McKissick, Greenville, South Carolina, repre senting women’s clubs; A. L. M. Wiggins, President of the Bank of Hartsville, Hartsville, South Carolina, representing banking; Walter T. Jenkins, Manager of the Rock Hill Printing and Finishing Company, Rock Hill, South Caro lina, and A. B. Taylor, President of the Taylor-Colquitt Company, Spartanburg, South Carolina, representing industry; Harold J. McGinnis, Manager of the Ameri can Tobacco Company, Charles ton, South Carolina, representing business; James H. Hope, State Superintendent of Education, representing education; J. Roy Jones, State Commissioner of Ag riculture, representing agriculture, and W. Rhett Harley, State Com missioner of Labor, representing labor. There will be set up in each County a Committee to bring to the attention of the public the various features of these bonds and their value as an investment. It should be interesting to those who may plan to invest in these bonds that they differ from the Liberty Bonds issued by the Gov ernment during the first World War in that the new Defense Bonds do not have the same type of maturity date as the old Liberty Bonds. In other words, the pur chaser of the bond pays less than its face value and at the end of ten years the accumulation of interest brings the bond to its face value. For instance, a $25.- 00 bond is purchased for $18.75 and in ten years its value is $25.00. In the meantime, it may be liqui dated at any post office in this country for its face value at the time that it is surrendered. There will be also an issue of stamps from 25 cents to one dollar, which should prove of great interest to school children. When the stamps reach a value of $18.75 they may be surrendered at any post office and one of the $25.00 bonds pur chased by the surrender of these stamps. University in Indiana, on the sug gestion of the State Better Homes Committee which is composed of Miss Bessie Harper, Aiken Chair man; Miss Portia Seabrook, Win- throp College; C. V. Phagan, C^mson College; Mrs J. E. Groce, Lymdn, S. C.; and Mrs. Paul Leonard, Columbia, S. C. This committee is actively back ing the work of the county groups,, both white and colored in their plans and programs. The help of every educational and cure-minded organization in a community is needed to get best results—so the men’s luncheon clubs, various women’s organiza tions, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts. 1-H Clubs, religious organizations, schools, libraries, chambers of commerce, architects associations, parent teacher associations, and agricultural extension groups are being called upon to assume a share of the responsibility for the local campaigns. For two years South Carolina has been one of seven states to receive a special merit award by the National Committee for the fine work done. The State Com mittee hopes to be eligible for this award again in 1941—and so it calls upon all county and com munity Better Homes Chairmen to keep this goal in mind in their program this spring—culminating in Better Homes Week—April 27th-May 3rd. txt Foods For Anemia those who have less to spend for food. It is necessary to give care ful consideration to the diet to be sure it contains enough iron for proper blood building. X WOMEN in the NEWS * * * By Hope Chamberlin National Better Homes Week, April 27-May 3 April 27th-May 3rd is National Better Homes Week. Programs for improving the homes and commu nities in South Carolina are being carried on in every county in the state, based on the needs of that particular county or community. Every county and many communi ties have organized committees now working to that end. The chairman of these groups, Miss Matilda Bell, has been ap pointed by the National Better Homes in America from Purdue (By Myra Reagan, Nutrition Con sultant, S. C. State Board of Health.) Anemia is one of the biggest nutritional problems in the State. It is much more widespread than has been generally 'recognized and most of this anemia can be traced to improper diet. Recently records have been re ceived from 29 of the 16 counties ; n the State on patients coming to the prenatal clinics. These records are on 1,137 patients. Out of this number slightly over 70% are definitely anemia, over 20% are on the borderline of anemia, and only 9% are definitely not anemic. This is a serious situation as a person who is anemic not only has less vitality but is also more .susceptible to infections. The right foods will help to build up the blood and prevent this condition. The food which is best as a blood builder is liver. Pig’s liver is just as good as beef or calf liver and is much less ex pensive. Molasses, especially home made sorghum, is good because it is rich in iron. Whole wheat :s also a good source of iron. E^gs and lean meats are valuable foods from this standpoint and so are the green leafy vegetables. Dried peas and beans are excellent blood builders and so are certain dried fruits. Dried apricots, peaches, and prunes are the best. Anemia is found very widely among wealthy people as well as FROM NEAR AND FAR ELEANOR HOLM possesses 350 bathing suits . . .
