/ McCORMICK MESSENGER, MeCORMlCK., SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, June 18, 1942 “You Help Someone You Know -When You Give To The U. S. O.” While reports are not complete, it is evident that McCormick County has failed to meet its quota for the U. S. O., and the Navy Relief Society. To date we have $192.57 on hand for the U. S. O., and $12.50 for the Navy Re lief Society. A good many people have not had the opportunity to give. I am reasonably sure that everybody wants McCormick County to reach its quota for both of these worthy organiza tions, and you are urged to send your contribution to the nearest member of the U. S. O. Commit tee, because it is practically im possible for members of the com- mitte to see each individual in ■the county, due to gas and tire shortage. The United Service Organization is composed of the Y. M. C. A.; Y. W. C. A.; * National Catholic Community Survey; Jewish Wel fare Service; Travellers Aid; and the Salvation Army. These are -"■11 combined into one service known as the U. S. O., and throughout America they are making appeals for money from nil peoples, regardless of creed, and rendering service to our boys :*n the armed forces, regardless of ■ reed. Members of the committee for McCormick County are: Mrs. Belle Scott for the Mt. Carmel district; Mrs. Daisy Hemminger for the Willington District; Mrs. Claude Huguley for the McCor mick District; Mrs. Oscar Sturkey for the Plum Branch District; Mrs. J. H. Percival for the Parks- ville Dsitrict; Mrs. G. O. Dukes for the Modoc District; and E. F. Gettys for the De la Howe District. ' Please make your do nation to one of these, and it will be forwarded to whichever or- '•anization you intend it for. “You Help Someone You Know— when You Give To The U. S. O.” OR, HENRY J.

X Big Crop Loss Feared Unless Fmil Is 'Canned Housewives Urged To Take Ad vantage Of Extra Sugar Ra tion Provided For Canning (Atlanta, Ga., June 10) . . OPA officials express fear that a major portion of the $15,000,000 fruit and berry crop in the Southeast will be lost unless housewives take advantage of the extra ration of sugar provided for canning and preserving. The Office of Price Administra tion said reports from Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas in dicated that there was virtually no market for the already ripening fruits and berries in these States. Housewives seemingly are not aware that they can secure extra sugar for canning purposes, in addition to the sugar alloted to them on their ration cards. Ap plication for this additional sup ply of sugar for canning and pre serving should be made at local rationing boards. So far, appli cations for sugar for’ preserving have been light. Housewives are urged to apply to their local rationing boards for the sugar they will be allowed for canning and preserving. They will be assuring themselves of a winter supply of sweets in the event of the further tighten ing of sugar rationing, and at the same time will prevent the waste of the Southeast’s present fruit and berry crop, which would result in a heavy loss to Southern growers. The sugar ration board in Mc Cormick is located on the second floor of the Robinson Building. Commercial canneries can only use a small percentage of the crops in this region. x Food Stamp Sales Two-Fold Service The way in which South Caro lina farmers are benefited by the food stamp program of the Agri cultural Marketing Administra tion, USD A, was pointed out in a report released recently by L. J. Cappleman, director of Region Save Sugar By Using Molasses Since the sugar ration is now enforced more people will be using other sweets in breads, cookies, cakes and pies. Cane and sorghum sirups are high-powered sweet foods because they contain iron, calcium, and phosphorous. Home-made siruos are higher in iron than light- colored sirups and commonly bought molasses. White sugar when eaten gives the body only energy to do work, with but can or sorghum sirup when eaten not only gives enerev but iron to make red blood and calcium and phosphorous to help build good teeth and strong bones. In cooking use homemade sirups or can molasses 3 to 4 times a week for sweetening in place of white sugar. Hard sirup cookies, steamed brown bread, and ginger bread are excellent sweets for children when eaten at the end of a good meal. Dried Apple Cake 3 Cups dried apples, 3 Cups cane sirup, 1 Cup raisins, 1 Cup butter, 3 1-2 Cups flour, 1 teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 3 eggs, well beaten. Soak apples overnight, drain off the surplus water, and chop the apples. Add the sirup and cook until the apples are soft, add the raisins and cool. Add the dry in gredients which have been sifted together, then the well creamed butter. Add the eggs which have been well beaten, and pour into a greased pan with paper in the bottom. Bake in a slow oven 350 F. Cane Sirup Pie 1 3-4 cups milk, 3-4 cups flour or, 6 tablespoons cornstarch, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 3-4 cup cane siyup, 2 egg yolks, 1-2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 9-inch baked pie crust, 2 egg whites, t 2 tablespoons cane sirup, 1 cup pecans. Stir one-half cup of the milk into the cornstarch and salt, mixing well to remove lumps. Scald the remainder of the milk in a double boiler. Add some of the hot milk to the cornstarch, mix well, and return to the double boiler. Add the three-fourths cup of sirup, stir until thickened, cover, and cook 15 minutes. Pour some of this mixture, and into the beaten egg yolk, and combine with the rest of the mixture, and return to the double boiler, cook for a few minutes and add the fat, pecans, and vanilla, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Pour into a 9-inch baked pie crust and make a meringue. Meringue—Beat the egg whites until stiff, add 2 tablespoons sir up, a tablespoon at a time, beat ing after each addition until the sirup is well blended. Spread over the filling and bake in a slow oven 15 to 20 minutes. Variation—The cornstarch mix ture may be served as a pudding. Remember: When sour milk is used in place of sweet milk in a recipe, add 1-2 teaspoon of soda for each cup of milk used and deduct 2 teaspoons of baking pow der. Sorghum sirup may be used in place of cane siruo if 1-4 tea spoon of soda is added for each cup of sorghum used. Matilda Bell, Co. Home Dem. Agent. "Don’t Worrr * # * we’ll grow our own food! * That's the battle-cry of America’s six million farm families as the gardening season rolls around. Growing vegetables at home relieves overburdened hauling facilities, releases more commercial vegetables for the ^Thting men, and insures a wholesome, inexpensive diet for each family. . Six Inch Sermon BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER The Task Committed to the Disciples. Lesson for June 21: Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-20; Luke 24:49-53. Golden Text: Mark 16:15. A young nan once asked the duke of Wellington if he thought it well to try to evangelize the heathen. The Iron Duke turned upon the questioner and asked, “What are your marching orders, sir?” In the last meeting of Jesus with his disciples, he gave them their marching orders, his last command which should settle for all Christians the question of e- vangelizing the heathen and all men everywhere who are without Christ, regardless of questionings and difficulties. It was a stupendous task com mitted unto those few men who had no great patrons nor wordly influence, but it was backed by the authority of him to whom all power had been given, and they had the promise of his presence even unto the end of the world. In the account of Mark we find the Great Commission, as in Matthew, but also more details, including the response of the dis ciples. It is said they “went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed.” Also in Luke it is said that the xiisciples “worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and were continually in the temple, blessing God.” We as Christians should share in the task that was committed to the disciples. How can we share? Usually through the church of which we are members. Even now, when the work is circumscribed on account of war, there is some opportunity to do missionary work, and doubtless there will come to the churches an unparalleled opportunity when the war is over. xx Employers Should Use Separation Notice BY JANET CURLER WOMAN of the Week: The na tional president of “American War Mothers” is Mrs. Elizabeth Martin of Milwaukee, Wis. “Am erican War Mothers” is an organ ization composed of mothers whose sons served in the armed forces of the nation during World War I.

Illustrating the benefits of the program to farmers, Cappleman said that during April, food stamp program participants in South Carolina received $39,500 in blue stamps, which represented addi tional food purchasing power for needy families and additional food markets for the farmers. Orange stamps which clients were required to buy with the money available for food amount ed to $61,000, bringing the total of food purchased with food -tamps to $100,500 for the month. The- 5,600 families participating represented over 18,600 persons. “Aside from helping assure farmers a fair return for their full production effort under the Food for Freedom campaign, the program is helping build a strong er America by making more food available to undernourished fami lies,” Cappleman said. Had No Newspaper To Advertise In. But You Have !! » When a worker voluntarily quits his job without good cause, or is discharged for misconduct, his employer in protecting his ex perience rating account should file a notice of separation for cause with the South Carolina Unemployment Compensation Commission, officials there said. The department, in checking over its records, said entirely too few employers made use of the notice of separation for cause, resulting in some workers re ceiving benefits to which they were not otherwise entitled. The commission has started plans to revise this report form, officially known as UCB-1, and will soon have on hand an abundance to meet demands of employers. Any needed number of copies will be furnished any employer upon re quest. Actually the employer should your family have to get alom with three gallons of gas a week?
