' In Food For Freedom, Quality Also Important Columbia, Dec. 27.—With ad vance in. the agricultural produc tion goals likely under war condi tion^, it is very important that c armers plan to produce higher 'lunlity as well as larger quantity, F. H. Talbert, marketing specialist of the Clemson College Extension ervioe advises. “After declaration of war. de- ’clonmentr, have moved swiftlv to -et the goals of th° Food For Free dom program higher”, says Mr. we are asked.” But what many of us can’t get into our heads is the fact that we may not be asked—that we must figure out for ourselves what we can do. Mr. Roosevelt and his many assistants are working day and night to formulate A, B, C plans of just what the people can do—but that doesn’t mean we should wait until the plans are laid on, our doorstep. We must, each of us, do things of our own accord. We must work un plans of our own—plans for what our families and our towns can do right now toward winning the war. We must take action into our own hands, work under our own, steam—and do just as good a job in our little piece of America as the President is try ing to do for the whole country. OPPORTUNITY delay The “Salvage for Victory” cam paign offers us one of many op portunities for immediate action. We could wait for Washington to work out a plan, wait for that olar to be organized on a state basis, wait for the state gradually :o formulate a local plan which would finally filter down to our town and our household. But ^ency heads in reconsidering 1942 production goals on pork, beef, dairv products, eggs, and poultry i re likely to establish higher goals V >v these, and many other foods viU probably be added to the list. “Qnnlitv foods are much more valuable than foods that are bare- ’v fit ter human ooosumntinn, so everv effort should be made to produce quality whether it be in Plant or animal production.” Mr. Talbert points out that the need for standards to measure food values of vegetables and fruits consumed bv the army in. World War I caused the U. S. De partment of Agriculture to es- ‘•'blish official federal grades meanwhile valuable material would be lost forever. Besides, that’s not the way a democracy works. All Washing ton should have to say is: “We need your waste paper, rags, rub ber, etc.” From there on. wr should take the initiative. We should organize committees, talk tc local officials, study the ave nues by which waste material gets to defense industry—and deliver the goods. But because we don’t do enough on our own accord, the govern ment finds it necessary to spend the time of valuable executives working up plans for us—plans GALLANT-BELK COMPANY HOME OF BETTER VALUES GREENWOOD, S.

The Government needs stenog raphers for National defense. One if. prone to think of National de fense in terms of soldiers, sailors and marines. But there are manY types of defense work behind the lines. A large army of civilian personnel is now on duty as ste nographers in the Government service to take the dictation of the thousands of executives and ad ministrative officers, and tran scribe it into typewritten, docu ments. Some of this material is of lasting importance. Some of it will set into motion Government events of historical consequence. It is estimated that the Govern ment has approximately 85,000 stenographers, typists and secre taries on the payroll. Many young men and women are responding to the call., Thousands more are needed. Aside from the present emer gency, the opportunities for ste nographers in the Government service are favorable. Good ste nographers are always in demand. The positions pay $1,440 a year to start, with a good chance for ad vancement to positions of greater responsibility, such as secretarial positions, in the case of those who have the ability. , The examination announced by the Civil Service Commission for c tenographers is open until fur ther notice. The examination consists solely of a dictation, test at 96 words a minute and tran scription of notes. All persons who can qualify are urged to ap- olv now. The stenographer examinations are held at several hundred cities throughout the United States. In order to arrange for greater con venience to applicants, the Com - mission is planning to increase the number of places where the ex aminations will be held. The prooer application form may be obtained from the Secre tary of the Board of U. S. Civil Service Examiners at anv first- or second-class post office or ernm the U. S. Civil Service Com mission at Washington. D. C. To provide more living quarters for Government employees, es pecially for those in the lower- income groups, there has been begun, under Government spon sorship, a building program for constructing thousands of apart ments, dormitories, and homes in Washington, D.
