Lesson for June 14: Luke 24:33- 48. . > Golden Text: Luke 24:48. The lesson begins with the re turn of Cleopas and his compan ion from Emmaus to Jerusalem— to tell the eleven and others with them of the Lord’s appearance un to themselves. While they were yet speaking, Jesus suddenly appear ed among them. Though Jesus foretold the things that befell him, and report had just been made of his resur rection, the disciples were fright ened, thinking they saw a spirit. The miracle of Jesus passing through closed doors was too much for them, perhaps, /though they had seen him work many miracles. Perceiving their questionings, Jesus invited them to behold the marks of Cavalry and said, “A spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.” “And while they still disbelieved for joy,” Jesus asked for food and ate. All of this may arouse our speculations as to the kind of body Jesus had after the resurrection. Certainly dt was in the same likeness as be fore. More important are the certain ties of our faith which Jesus o- pened to the disciples, assuring them of his fulfillment of Moses, the Psalms and the Prophets. Of still greater import are the words, “Ye are witnesses of these things.” We live by the truths which have been communicated unto us through the witnessing of the ages. And to make sure of continuing in the truth here and hereafter, we must be witnesses unto others—in every way at our command. -xx- READ THE AD$ Along With the New» Grow Your Own Nitrogen “The present indications are that the nitrogen supply will be much less next spring than it was this year, so let’s grow our own,” Mr. McKesson states. There are a number of legumes that can be grown to help re place some of the nitrogen. Crota- laria seems to produce more green matter per acre than any other legume crop. An average acre should produce at least 10,000 pounds of green matter and when turned back into the land will equal approximately 350 pounds of soda. Grain is being cut and most of this land will probably be left out until next fall. The conservationist urges every farmer who possibly can to seed such land down to cover crops which will in return produce some form of nitrogen to be of some benefit to grain next year. The Giant Striata Crotalaria has a deep rooting system which is extreme ly good for late planting. About 20 pounds of seed should be sowed per acre to establish a good growth, according to experimental station’s records. Crotalaria has been used in this county by J. L. Bracknell for reclaiming land and has done a good job. If it will grow on worn out land, it should grow on. land which has produced a grain crop. Mr. McKesson urges every farmer to turn under stubble land as soon as grain is removed and grow his own soda for next year. Detriot. June 4.—Practical ex haustion of the supply of heavy- duty trucks, upon which'hinge the major hauling operations in the country, focuses attention upon the necessity for truck dealers to convert so-called “medium” trucks to take over the big-haul opera tions which must be done if the nation’s transportation, system is to handle its end of the war job, W. E. Fumi, manager of Chevrolet’s truck department, said here to day. Foreseeing the present critical situation, Chevrolet has made a- vailable to dealers full instructions for expanding the capacities of medium trucks to pinch-hit for the no longer available heavy-duty units. Fish said. “Such conversion and expansion is no new development in the truck field,” Fish pointed out. “Responsible manufacturers have produced conversion equipment for many years. The present war emergency highlights the neces sity for producing trucks of ex panded capacity. Our prime ef fort has been to serve as liason between Chevrolet dealers and these established manufacturers of converting and specializing e- quipment.” Specialized mechanical informa tion treating exclusively with truck conversion has been pre sented to Chevrolet dealers, who still have adequate supplies of either new or used medium trucks, all of which can be converted into units capable of handling heavy- duty loads. “More than 60 per cent of all trucks require some form of spe cial equipment,” Fish pointed out, “for the truck has become a high ly specialized transport unit. Chevrolet dealers have made a thorough study of the special e- quipment field and are convers ant with the many individualized operations a converted truck can handle. “Thousands of truck operators cannot purchase new equipment under the rulings established by the Office of Defense Transporta tion. And even those operators who are eligible are up against a dire shortage of the heavier equip ment. The only answer open to the automotive industry and the businessmen it must serve, is con version of such equipment as is still available, which is in full ac cord with the stated aims of the ODT and the War Production Board, as expressed by R. L. Vani- man, deputy chief of the W. P. B. automotive branch.” Citing an example of a medium truck conversion job, Fish pointed to a highway tanker, a mammoth unit whose orginial capacity was 14,000 lbs. gross weight. With the addition of a tandem drive rear end, special transmission, and tandem semi-trailer, the unit now handles 56,000 lbs. gross. “Expanding the capacity of trucks now classified as ‘medium’ units is a solution to this critical problem,” Fish said. “Full infor mation covering the job, which can be done economically, has been forwarded to Chevrolet deal ers. “In addition, Chevrolet recently called to Detroit 16 zone truck managers from as many vital war production areas in the country. These men were given full data on this truck conversion job and are now out in. the field directing dealers in the operation. “Ineligibility of many operators who must have trucks to remain in business; shortages of materi als and the shortage of heavy- duty models point this situation up as one of the more dangerous bottlenecks in our essential trans portation needs as an aid to our war effort,” Fish added. “Chevro let dealers, forwarned, are mat ing this new responsibility in a commendable manner.” IP's* TRUCK TIRES RECAPPED We have all sizes rubber.

STROM Easy Payment Plan. No Carrying Charge. McCormick, S. C. FSA Program Is For Year-Round Food Supply Looking months ahead in plan ning a year-round food supply, 125 low-income farm families par ticipating in the Farm Security Administration program in McCor mick County will have plenty of Irish and sweet potatoes, peas, and collards to contribute to a good, balanced winter diet, Miss Talbert, home, management su pervisor, said today. “These four staple food crops are easy to grow 7 and keep,” Miss Talbert pointed out, “and they provide excellent food for the family during the winter months.” Crowder and black-eyed peas contain minerals, vitamins and, particularly important, muscle building material that may be used as a meat substitute. Miss Talbert tells FSA families. Col lards are valuable green leafy veg etables rich in vitamins and min erals, and sweet potatoes are a good source of vitamin A, she said. Both sweet and Irish potatoes help balance a meat diet. FSA families are learning to bake both varieties to conserve the minerals which are lost in deep peeling. FSA farm and home supervisors are teaching farmers the best ways of harvesting and storing their vegetables to prevent loss, and the families are studying les son leaflets on preservation in their neighborhood group meet ings. With these four vegetables and a good supply of canned vegetables and fruits (a 100 quart per per son. quota has been set for FSA families), plenty of milk, eggs, and meat from Food for Freedom poultry and livestock, Farm Se curity families will have a plenti ful supply of nutritious foods. Miss Talbert believes that all Americans have a greater oppor tunity to enjoy more and bettei foods through the Department of Agriculture’s Food for Freedom program, at the same time ship ping necessary foods to our armed forces and our allies. “It has become a duty for all to protect themselves against in efficiency and poor health from in adequate diets,” Miss Talbert de- dared Citing numerous army rejec tions traced in dietary defects, Miss Talbert pointed out another reason why Farm Security is em phasizing home production of nu tritious foods by its families many of which supply manpower for our war industries. TO CHECK L Boll Weevils Again Threatening Cotton Florence, June 6.—“Boll weevils are now emerging from hiberna tion and entering cotton fields in Florence county at a rapid rate, F. F. Bundy and C. F. Rainwater, entomologists at the Pee Dee Ex periment Station, stated here to day. Records have been kept for sev eral years at the Pee Dee Station of the number of weevils found in a trap field of cotton. Ttie same one-fifth acre field is used each year for comparing the date of emergence and the abundance of weevils under field conditipns. These records show that a total of 131 w 7 eevils had been removed from the field by May 22. < The number removed, by dates on which the field was examined, is as follows: Prior to May 6, none; first weevil found on May 6; 1 on May 12; 13 on May 15; 34 on May 18; 56 on May 30; 26 on May 22. Casual examination of two other fields on May 19 revealed 6 weevils found in approximately 10 minutes on one field and 8 found in ap proximately 20 minutes in an other. “Not a single boll weevil was found in the trap field until May 23 last year,” the entomologists said. The heavy early emergence this year may prove to be of great value to the farmers,, as a large percentage of these early emerg ing weevils will die before squares are large enough for them to lay their eggs in. “It also makes conditions more favorable for presquare poisoning, and farmers who use this method are advised to watch their fields closely and to plan their boll wee vil control program according to what is found.” Civilian War Relief Benefits Explained Dependents of workers killed, captured, totally disabled, or miss ing as a result of enemy action outside the United States are el igible for civilian War Relief Ben efits, is the reminder issued by Miss Martha Pressly, Manager of the Greenwood, S. C., office of the Social Security Board. “The Board’s Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance quickly established procedures for making these cash payments,” Miss Press ly said, “and our office, located at Room 18, Post Office Building, Greenwood, S. C., is prepared to take claims from qualified surviv ors. “Civilian war relief benefits,” Miss Pressly explained, “are pay able to the wife, widow, and chil dren of the worker, and to his par ents if they were mainly depend ent upon him for support. Bene fits are based upon wage rates or income but vary within a relative ly narrow range. Thus, benefits for a wife or widow range from $30 to $45 a month. Additional benefits for children run from $10 to $15 a month for each child, up to a maximum equal to two-thirds of the wage rate or income, or $35. whichever is less.
