AjL McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, c OUTH CAROLINA Thursday, May 21, 1942 Summer Grazing South Carolina’s War quota of jrnXfk js 54,000,000 pounds this year. Ufcis only means one pint more per cow per day to do this job, Mr. McKesson, the Soil Con servationist stated. We all know that a good pas ture Is the cheapest feed cows receive. All dairymen have found during the late spring and early summer cows will give more nad a much richer quality of this is due to the regular or permanent pasture coming into production. Later in the summer when the weather is hcflt and dry these pastures will begtfr to tarn yellow and brown because the lack of rain and overgrazing. When this occurs cows will have to be fed more grain silage and hay in order to keep their pro duction up. Pearl millet and Sudan grass are the two best summer grazing grasses for this type of tempo- lary pastures. These pastures « be seeded up until June 1st. Every farmer having a temporary grazing area will find cows pro ducing more and a better quality of wdiir cheaper than if he had to furnish grain and hay during the period when his pasture dry. This smail summer pasture can be approximately 1-3 to 1 an acre per cow and thus elimi nate some of the dangers o killing the grass in a fine perma nent pasture during the dry sea son by overgrazing. Several farmers in McCormick County have tried an early spring pasture this year with good re suits obtained. Mr. McKesson i urging more fanners to follow the idea of temporary grazing for both early spring and mid summer for their cattle. -*Xt- AJtTIE MtGOVEftN Few Athletes Have Athlete’s Foot The term “athlete’s foot” is an NEW SHIPMENT DISHES and POTTERY JUST RECEIVED Mostly large Pieces Values to $1.50 for only and a dime Buy Your Dishes and Pottery As You Buy Your Merchandise BELK WHITE.LUKE CO.

C. absurd misnomer, for, although I do not by any means know all the athletes in the world, not one of the many with whom I am ac quainted is afflicted with this annoying foot trouble. The disease is a variety of ringworm—a parasitic skin con dition. While not every case of cracked skin is necessarily ring worm, on the other hand, ring worm characteristercally causes this condition. Susceptibility to the infection is greater in peo ple who, through excessive per spiration or improper drying of the feet, allow moisture to mace rate the skin, surface. This pro vides a fertile field for the de velopment of the parasite. We then get a true infection which is indicated by redness, itching, formation of painful cracked areas and small blisters. If neg lected, the disease spreads quick ly. When any irritation appears on the skin, the safest procedure is to visit your physician for im mediate diagnosis and treatment.

We even dislike the sound of the word regimentation. But in wartime of course, a cer tain amount of it is necessary, and the American will grin and bear it in this war just as well as he has in past wars.

WOMAN of the Week: She has one of the most unusual jobs held by any wojnan in America. She is manager of the Roxy Bowling Centre in New York city. Green- eyed, dark-haired, 26-year-old Tillie Taylor also has. a bowling score of 259. 1300 is perfect.) Tre mendously popular with bowling fans, she is also a good executive. Her greatest ambition is to interest everybody, especially women, in bowling. One of her greatest problems, she says, is that of convincing women that there is nothing old-fashioned- ed notion that a bowling alley is no place for a lady. Another stickler is the question she asks before she gives a new customer his bowling shoes, “Do you want right hand or left hand shoes?” She always has to explain that the shoe with the rubber sole goes on the foot which is on the same side as the bowling hand. Sounds complicated, doesn’t it? But Tillie oves her job. / * * * PREFER WOMEN: A recent re port indicates that commanders of government-owned arsenals, as well as owners of private plants, prefer women to men as jroducers of vital war materials . .They handle deadly TNT with an ease that should prove once and for all that they are not ’fraidy cats.” They handle small parts with more speed and dexterity, and they maintain a higher degree of accuracy when working at monotonous tasks. * * * ATS WARDROBE: Now that American women are almost cer tain to be given an opportunity to serve with the armed forces, you may be interested in knowing what the first members of Brit ain’s Auxiliary Territorial Service received in the way of clothes . . The first ATS recruits received a cap and badge, steel helmet, three pairs of shoes (including a pair of gymnasium shoes), four pairs of stockings, a pair of gloves, eigth collars, three ties, four shirts, three pairs of kni ;k- ers, two overalls, two tunics, two shirts, pajamas and underv ar. They have since received Ik shirts, new uniforms and a i.^v, very smart overseas cap. * * * SUNNY SIDE UP: A J vge manufacturing company v.i :ch makes women’s compacts, c. ar- ette cases and other acce-o ies is all out to market a new rad- get—a container about the size of a cigarette case in which you can carry a week-end supply of sugar and your ration book! “Re^d ’Em and OUR ADS ' For the last year or so these brutes have been treating their owners shamefully; buying less and less for them month after month. Half a year ago the Presi dent wanted them “put in their place” by stopping the rise of prices, but only very recently have the “powers that be” obtained the legal right to act forcefully. Now we are compelled to have regi mented prices in order to check the terrible threat of one of man’s crudest enemies—runaway infla tion. Any such revolutionary control necessarily creates a certain a- mount of economic confusion, and in order to adjust our dollars to these bewildering changes we must be firm with them, and if necessary “treat ’em rough.” There are numerous ways of handling bad-mannered dollars, but many students of finance believe the best method is budgeting. It is boring at first and is distinctly a chore, but it will certainly make those dollars behave if one is per severing; and it does’nt require an economist to inform us that un less we do make them behave from now on—we might just as well start looking around for the handiest poor house. Get a big lined writing tablet and on the first line write Meat; on the second line Fish; on the third line Vegetables, and so on down the page. Write the names of the things you are accustomed to spending money on regularly, such as—Schooling, Clothing, Rent, Taxes, Gasoline, Movies, Transportation, etc. Head another sheet “Extras,” and keep a rec ord on this sheet of miscellaneous expensese and purchases. Now on the right half on these pages draw lines from top to bottom about an inch apart, and head the columns with the name of the present and the coming months. Expense slips from the grocer must be kept and a daily record of cash expenses jotted down. This is the boring part— but it is essential. At the end of the month add up what you spent for meat, etc., and fill in the columns. In three months’ time you will know what you are customarily spending on the vari ous items of living; where you are wasting and what you must cut down on. Then determine just how much you are willing to re strict yourself to monthly on each item; write it down, and stick to it like glue. This budget mustT be made to total much less than your regular income, because there are always extras which we don’t expect. If a month goes by and there are fewer extras than we allowed for, we should put the diference in the savings bank or in war stamps and bonds; for we must have some money laid aside when the war ends. We naturally hope for the best and most of us have confidence in our government; but even governments are not omnipotent, and when finance “goes on a binge” it can sweep everything before it. Then it is “catch as catch can and the devil take the hindmost”—meaning the fellow with no money in the bank. —Buy War Savings Bonds— FOP TPFLS I hereby announce my candi- dacv for re-election to the office Of Treasurer of McCormick County, subject 'to the rules and regula tions of the Democratic party.

EDWARDS Auodato Editor. Parent*® Magazine BABY’S FEEDING SCHEDULE Something of a revolution is going on in baby feeding circles. It can’t be blamed on the war or shortages, for it has to do with when to feed babies, not with what or how much they should eat. In other words, many doctors are advocating that babies be allowed to make their own feeding schedules. While they don’t suggest that we go back to giving a baby food every time he whim pers or whenever we find our selves at a loss for some way to amuse him, still they are relaxing from the stand that babies must be fed always at the same inter vals. “Feed babies when they’re hungry” is the latest advice which takes into consideration the fact that infants' have dif ferent food requirements. It is asking quite a lot of a baby who in his prenatal state had all the food he wanted, to adjust immediately on being born to arbitrary feeding hours. Hun ger is a real pain, sensation to a baby and one he rebels against by crying. If allowed to cry un til he becomes weary he may fall asleep after the first few gulps of food and not take sufficient nourishment. Consequently he is soon hungry again, but the clock says it isn’t feeding time and the crying session is repeated. To prevent this vicious circle of hunger, tears, spoiled meals from getting a hold on your baby study his individual food needs j before deciding on his schedule. He may, for instance, have a high or a low metabolism, which is the rate the body burns its fuel —that is to say, the food intake. If high, he will be hungry sooner than if his system holds on to food longer, though the amount of food he actually consumes may be no more in a 24-hour period than that of the baby who eats less often. Another recent victory of indi vidualistic babies over schedule- minded mothers is the matter of weaning. Babies are more and more being allowed to wean themselves gradually, one feeding at a time being dropped out when the baby loses interest in it until the stomach is finally content with the accepted three meals a day. Also, weaning from breast to bottle and from bottle to cup is done gradually and painlessly. By being offered both cup and bottle for a time the baby has less inclination to resent the new method of being fed because it doesn’t represent a threat to the pleasurable sucking he both likes and needs. Then there’s the -other side of the picture—the baby who is fed oftener than his need for fod dictates, even being wakened fr m sleep when the schedule says i s meal time. Both types of r ’< watching mean making a ty- t of time over one who has no ception of the passing of h but a strong instinct to insi: n the rhythm of his own hunger . —Buy War Savings Stamps— FOR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES I hereby announce my candi dacy for re-election to the House of Representatives from McCor mick County, subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic party.
