McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, August 20, 1942 VcCORMICK MESSENGER L PabUthed Every Thwtday f Eetebllahed Job# S, 19M m J I EDMOND J. McCRACKEN, r Editor mnd Owner MiliiiHl at the Post Office aft Me- Germick, S. C., as taafl matter ef the second elaas. 1 SUBSCRIPTION RATES: 1 Teat* $1.00 : Six Months .75 Three Months AO Flour, Bread, Oleo margarine Laws Effective August 1st Recently Passed By The General Assembly All plain white flour, self-rising flour, and oleomargarine sold in the state of South Carolina after August 1, 1942, must be enriched according to the most recent stan dards, set up by the Federal Secur ity Agency. This is a great step forward in protecting the health of the people through nutrition. The orocess of milling the flour removes practically all of the Vita min B1 (thiamin) and the niacin <the pellagra preventive vitamin) and the iron from the flour. • The enrichment process puts it back. This can be done at present for .17 cents a barrel. This cost could easily be absorbed by the manu facturer. The law required that all oleo margarine sold in the state be en riched by the addition of at least 9000 U. S. P. units of Vitamin A per pound. This can be done at present for one-third of one cent per pound. The addition of this amount of Vitamin A makes oleo margarine the nutritional equiva lent of butter. . The law does not require that special flou s such as cake, pan cake, pastry and other specialty flours sLal be . enriched. The law does ’ not a: ply to such bakery | products cakes, pastry, buns, rolls, crack s, raisin bread, cheese bread, ban. na bread and other special pre ucts.* All plain vhite flour, self-rising flour, brc and oleomargarine sold in tb' state must bear labels showing that it is enriched ac cording to the requirements of the law. The Commissioner of the De partment of Agriculture rules that In order that old wrappers and cartons on hand may be used up It Is permissable for the manufac turer or baker to put a special hand aroun 1 the old wrapper, or use a speci 1 stamp showing com pliance With the law until the stock on i nd of wrappers and cartons is used up. Why did aose interested in the nutrition c the people of the state select these three foods for enrichment Between 35 to 40 per cent of Hu calorie intake of the low income groups is obtained from bread stuffs. Consequently am appreciable amount of Vitamin Bl, niacin and iron can in this way be added to the diets of the poorer peoj. 2. By the addition of Vitamin A to oleomargarine a con siderable amount of this vitamin could be added to the diets of the low income group at practically no additional cost. The farmer may use the flour made from his own wheat with out enrichment and he may sell it to his tenants. However, he is urged for the sake of his family and his tenants to ask the miller to enrich it. Since the miller must enrich the flour he takes for toll, if he sells the toll, he will be prepared to enrich the farmer’s flour if he is requested to do so. Matilda Bell, Co. Home Dem. Agent.

Vote For Him (Political Advertisement) TO THE VOTERS OF THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT POLITICAL CARDS I regret the legislative program in Congress has made it is impos sible for me to attend all the campaign meetings or visit every locality in my district this summer, but since I know the people usually in quire into the record of a candidate for office I am availing myself of this method of calling attention to some of my efforts and accom plishments since coming to Congress.

Author of first Philippine Independence Act providing withdraw al of American troops from Philippine Islands July 4, 1941. This was later changed to July 4, 1945. If Congress had let the law stand as I made it and left it in 1933, there would have been no American boys in Bataan or Corregidor in 1942. Your present congressman had no part in changing the law. Author of first bill (H. R. 5125) to insure bank deposits, which became the basis of the law enacted in the 73rd Congress. Conceived the idea and introduced bill three years ago to use 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 bales of cotton by converting same into munitions of war, the necessity and wisdom of which is now recognized.

If we had it now there would be no gasoline shortage in South Carolina. Author of pending bill providing for rural free delivery service by substitute carriers on all holidays except Sunday. Protested against policy of calling white and colored men into service at ratio of 10 to 1; summoned representatives from Selective Service System before Committee and succeeded in having policy changed, according to their written statement, so that the ratio after July 1st would be in proportion the population of each bears to the total population of the state. Succeeded after two years effort in having Department of La - bor begin investigations for the purpose of determining cost and feasibility of installing air conditioning systems in textile plants. Author of pending bill (H. R. 7298) providing that all grants in aid to states by the Federal government should be on basis of per capita income instead of matching dollar for dollar, including grants for old age pensions. Should this bill become a law it will mean a saving to our state of. approximately $2,000,000 annually. Chairman of sub-committee that prepared, reported and passed bill reducing appropriations this year over $200,000,000 for non-de fense activities in Federal Security Agency and Department of Labor. Chairman Insular Affairs Committee for two years. What to do with our insular possessions and how we shall adjust our foreign trade relations will be paramount issues when the war is over.
