C., as mail matter of • the second class. Answering The Call For “Food I SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 Six Months .75 Three Months .50 Scholarship And Tuition Aid For Orphans And Children Of World War Veterans. Dr. C. K. Epting asks that we print the following letter that he received from Department Head quarters of The American Legion in Columbia, and asks those in terested to call on him for further information: I wish to call your attention to recent amendments of Section 5711 of the Code of Laws of South Car olina for 1932. I am quoting be low the Bill in full and have un derscored amendments made by this session of the General Assem bly. You will see from these amendments that a much larger number of children of World War Veterans will be granted tuition, at least, to our State supported institutions. The change does not affect the original Act as applying to scholarships, except to include otherwise qualified orphans of veterans who moved into South Carolina following the World War and up to the passage of the origi nal Act in 1932. Please bring this matter to the attention of inter ested individuals in your commu nities in order that as many as possible may avail themselves of the benefits of the Act. (Editor’s Note: The underscored amendments are in bold type.) “Section 5711: The sum provided in this section shall be used for the sole purpose of providing for board and room-rent and books and supplies, for the use and bene fit of children of those who enter ed the service of the United States from South Carolina, or who were legal residents of South Carolina on the date of approval of this Act, and were killed in action or died from other causes within the period from April 6, 1917, to July 2, 1921, while serving in the army, navy, marine 1 corps, or other branch of the military service of the United States, and children of World War Veterans who have heretofore died since July 2, 1921, or may hereafter die of disease or disability resulting from war serv ice, which children are attending or may attend a State College or University, or any educational in stitution in this state which is a member of the southern associa tion of colleges and secondary schools or any other Similar regional standardizing educational organization. The sum of two thousand ($2,000.00) dollars, if so much be needed, shall be included in each annual appropriation bill from the year 1930 to the year 1942, inclusive, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions hereof. The State Board of Education shall determine the eligibility of any child who applies for aid hereunder, and before allowing such aid shall aspertain that such applicant is in need of such finan cial assistance. Not more than the sum of one hundred and fifty ($150.00) Dollars shall be paid under the provisions hereof for any one child during any one year, and any fund paid out under the provisions hereof shall be pay able to such college or university as such child may attend on vouchers approved by the State Board of Education. If any child receiving such aid shall fail to pass one or more subjects while in attendance upon any college or Ttniversity, the State Board of Education shall have the right within its descretion to deny future aid to such child. “Pro vided, that the Boards of Trustees of a!! State supoorted educational institutions shall grant free tui tion to children of World War Veterans who had established legal residence in South Carolina prior to the year 1932, and who liave heen or may hereafter be declared by the Veterans Administration to be permanently and totally dis abled by reason of physical or mental enfeeblement, without re gard to cause, and | or to the chil dren of such veterans who had established legal residence in South Carolina prior to the year 1932, and who have since died or For Defense” Answering the call for “Food for Defense," an enlarged pro gram for food production sponsor ed by the Farm Security Adminis tration, the local FSA offices are buzzing with activity as plans for individual cooperation by each re habilitation family in this county are determined. Supervisor Ernest Hanvey of the local office advises that this program in the Southeastern States calls for special undertak ings to produce additional food requirements for “National De fense” as well as larger production for home use. “Each rehabilitation family in this county will add 50 chickens to his present flocks and in ad dition will take on one or more of three operations to produce marketable products needed in supplying England and her allies as provided for in the fund allo cation for food in the Lease-Lend Appropriation,” said Supervisor Hanvey. Aided by supplemental loans, rehabilitation families will under take one or more of the following three enterprises: (1) One addi tional brood sow, to produce four hogs for the market: (2) two more milk cows for production of marketable dairy products; (3) 50 chickens for meat and for egg production. (These chickens are in addition to the 50 required for all families). In addition to winning for the Southeastern States a large share of the Lend-Lease food expendi tures the “Food for Defense” pro gram of the FSA will have addi tional aims as follows: (1) Increase in normal incomes of small farm famUies through perpetuation of the broadened program. (2) Development in this region, for better handling of larger pro duction, of processing plants (creameries, storage, etc.) (3) Extension and perfection of marketing facilities, one of the greatest needs of the small farmer, so that none will be too remote for this service. (4) Better subsistence for the grower and the consumer, through an accelerated “live-at-home” plan for the Southeast. (5) Improved land. (6) First and last, a move toward effective and profitable change in the agricultural economy of the region, its release from the one crop system. / “Judging from the contacts we have made with some.of the fami lies this “Food for Defense” pro gram will go over the top in a big way,” concluded Mr. Hanvey. xx To Classify All Of S. C. Registrants Columbia, May 19.—A total of 15,774 questionnaires were mailed out to registrants under the Se lective Service act during the week of May 3-10 as local boards began the task of classifying all regis trants, it was announced today at state headquarters for Selective Service. Major Luther K. Brice, classifi cation officer, said that the boards were acting in accordance with orders recently received from national Selective Service head quarters in that the boards were .'•equired to furnish a complete classification report of all regis trants in the state. Only detail lacking to complete the question of the number of men available for immediate mili tary service will be the physical examination. Under the new rul ing, physical examinations will not be given prior to 60 days before the registrant is required to re port for induction. Primary purpose of the new ruling, it is thought, is to enable national headquarters to determine how many men will be necessary to support dependents and what men should be de ferred because of their im portance to the national health, safety or interest, in other words should be deferred because of their importance to industry in their civilian capacities. Rurro Ball Game Here June 5th Sponsored By McCormick Lions Club For Benefit Of The Blind. Combine the laughs of slapstick comedy, the ludicrous pantomine of Harpo Marx, the sporting thrills of a heated baseball game and then add a lot of local color and mix well 4Hrith a batter of some good’cause and you have a general idea of the concoction that will be poured into the spacious ball field at McCormick High School on June 5th at 8 o’clock. Burro Ball, where people play regulation soft ball astride the friskiest herd of donkeys that ever escaped a glue factory, will soon be in town. Their appearance is made possible here through the efforts of the McCormick Lions Club for the benefit of the blind. Burro Ball is the most absurd offshoot of soft ball ever concoc ted by the hair-brained exponents of goofy sports. The most promi nent and fun loving people in town will let their hair down and saddle the burros and see what they can do about winning a soft ball game. It doesn’t take much of an im agination to visualize the foolish situations which may result from the efforts of determined men trying to persuade equally deter mined donkeys to get into the swing of things and play a little soft bqll with them. All in all, it’s just a bundle of fun with either the spectators or the riders having the most pleas ure. It all depends on how your sense of humor runs. X Bundles For Britain All those who have Red Cross material and have completed gar ments on hand, will please send in to the local office at once. I only want those garments that are completed. Those that are not completed will be called for later. There will be another shipment of material soon and all those on the committee who did not receive material this time, will get some in the next distribution. Mrs. C. K. Epting, Chairman. x Baptists Plan Sunday School Summer Campaign Columbia, May 19.—The South Carolina Baptist Sunday School Board announces that during the months of June, July and August a “Rural Sunday School Cam paign” will be conducted through out the entire state.
