Young. xx Chance For Landless Farmers In County To Become Landowners We wish to express our most sincere thanks to our neighbors and other friends for the many expressions of kindness shown us during the illness and at the death of our brother, Mr. Willie H. Price. Brothers And Sisters. Another chance for landless farmers in McCormick County to become landowners, and to start cn their way to independence, has been opened. Tenants, sharecroppers and farm laborers in McCormick County have new opportunity to file formal applications for loans under the Bankhead-Jones Act with the Farm Security Adminis tration supervisor in this county. Through the operation of the Bankhead-Jones Act, more than 5,400 farmers have become land- owners in the Southeastern States comprising Region V of the Farm Security Administration. In the current year, opportunity is offered for approximately 2,- 350 more landless farmers of the region to become landowners. Of these 5 will be in this county. Mr. Hanvey explained that get ting a loan under the Bankhead- Jones Act means more than just getting money to purchase the land. The loans cover the neces sary buildings, bams, poultry, smoke houses, etc.; and ample fencing and money for permanent land improvements, such as pas tures. Thus, said Mr. Hanvey. the tenant family has more than credit to purchase a home. He has credit to attain a better living | for himself and his family. The annual payments which the bor rower is required to make are usually about like rents now paid by tenants operating the farms Birthday Dinner For Mrs. Ida E. White On Sunday, Sept. 28th, the chil dren, grandchildren and other loved ones gathered for a surprise birthday dinner, for Mrs. White; a surprise too, it was, for she had been asked to a son’s home to spend the day, so she had on her best looks and a broad smile, out on the porch just waiting for the other members of the family to be ready and then she expected to soon be on her way. But instead there were 49 soon gathered to spend the day with the good Christian mother. She began to wonder what she could prepare for that many peo ple for dinner, but when she saw the nice baskets of good things to eat and the nice dish pan of dressed chickens that was going in the huge pot out in the shade and made in stew she was sure there would be plenty of dinner and some to spare. She’s the mother of ten children, eight of whom are now living, Mrs. Leona Gable and Mrs. Rubie Reynolds have long rested beneath the sod. Her companion, Mr. Joe White, too has gone to meet loved ones on the other shore. She has also reared two granddaughters. Misses Elsie and Loucille Reynolds, the former now is Mrs. Wes&ly Padgett. Mrs. White is now seventy years old but she’s young and happy. When her heart aches and trials come she goes to God in prayer and leans on his ever lasting arm. About 12:30 a long table was placed out in the yard where Mrs. White played when she was a girl and you should have seen the good things to eat, meats, cakes and pies, salads, iced tea and other nice things and last, but not least, was the white birthday cake all trimmed and bearing the candles. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Ollie White, Mrs. Wilbur White and son, Oneal, Mrs. Frances Bus sey, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert White and children, Kate, J. H., Mary Lee and Nell, and Mr. and Mrs. Paul White and son, Ben Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Rich Gable and son, Tommie, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Quarles and three children, Helen, Donald, and David, Mr. and Mrs. William White and two children, Raymond and Janett, Mr. and Mrs. Fred White and two children, Margie and Ellen, and Irbie, Horace and Paul White, Elbert and Edwin Jennings, Mr. and Mrs. Clay Jennings and three children, Valera, Montrie and Beathrum, Mrs. Ruth White, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Padgett and two children, Janice and Bobby, and Mr. and Mrs. Wessly Padgett, and Miss Lucille Reynolds, and possibly others; all included four genera tions; each one enjoyed the good dinner and nice lunches were sent to Mrs. Bryant Quarles, who is ill, and Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Medlock. When the sun was sinking in the western sky, we bade adieu and wished to meet on many more such happy days. Mrs. Wilbur White. McCormick, S. C. xx To safeguard and preserve the American way of life—buy Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps. -Buy Defense Bonds and Stamps- By buying Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps regularly you can help the Defense Program and, at the same time, help your self and your family. -Buy Defense Bonds and Stamps- purchased. The county tenant purchase committee, which considers all loans, cannot pass upon any ap plications except those of families that have formal applications on file. Mr. Hanvey pointed out that applications filed before June 30. 1940, are not current and there fore cannot be considered unless the would-be purchaser goes to the county FSA office and renews his application.
