' JUcCORMlCK MESSENGER, McCOKMICK, SOI'TH CAHOI.IMA Thursday, December 3, 1942 imm McCormick Tops Abbeville 19-7 (SECOND GAME) McCormick took their sixth Fame of the season here Friday, Not. 20th, by defeating Abbeville 19-7. They had beaten Abbeville earlier in the season by a score of 19-6. This was the last game of the season. The Panthers won six frames this year and lost only three. This record beats by a hair last year’s sterling record of five wins, one tie, and three defeats. McCormick lost the toss and kicked off to Abbeville. The ball was returned to about the thirty yard line where the carrier was hit hard. Abbeville tried a long pass which was completed for a first down. Then they ran the ball for another . gain and a touchdown. A reverse gave them the score. McCormick had been unable to stop their drive. A pass was good for the extra point. McCormick received next and ran the ball back for only a short gain. McCormick could hot gain the yardage necessary for a first down and was forced to punt. Abbeville tried to renew their spirit and gain more first downs but the Panther backs were on their toes and the line was hold ing. Abbeville punted out of bounds. McCormick still failed to click offensely and was again forced to kick. The punt war. fumbled by an Abbeville back on his own 10 yard stripe and recov ered by Link, guard of McCor mick. The first play, a run by Gable, was good for five yards. Owings scored on the next play going off tackle behind good blocking by Gable. This score came just a few plays before the half. * The second half opened wit’ Abbeville kicking to McCormick. The ball was returned from the five to the thirty yard line.

SMITH Upper Main Street McCormick, S. C. Clemson, Nov. 28.—Congratula- ions to the farmers of America nr their magnificent achieve ment in food production during 342, coupled with concern over he difficult problems confronting griculutre in 1943 were expressed ly the membership of the Asso- iation of Land-Grant colleges \nd Universities at their recent meeting, said Dr. R. F. Poole, president of Clemson College upon his return from the meeting. “For the wonderful success in food production in 1942, much credit must be given, not only to ;he men and boys who often worked the equivalent of a 70-or 80-hour week, but also to the farm wives who labored long hours in the fields and barns in addi tion to caring for the homes and the families,” a public statement of the Association declares. Looking to the next crop year, the Association’s statement said: “The world’s food supply, partip- ularly the supply of food for this nation and its allies, is rapid ly becoming one of the most Im portant problems of the war. “The nation’s success in deal ing with this problem will depend largely upon skill and realism in applying to its solution the ex perience of practical farmers and the accumulated results of agri cultural research. ‘Only through team work be tween the practical farmer and the agricultural scientist shall we be able to make the adjustments necessary for maximum produc tion of food and fiber in the face of ever-mounting shortage of manpower, and the insufficient upply of farm machinery, dimin ishing transportation, and the un- ivailability of many plant foods and spray materials on which the xgriculture of the country has lepended in the past. “It becomes the mission of Land-Grant Colleges in their re search and through their exten sion services to work mere closely with practical farmers than ever before. It is their job to foresee so far as possible the adjustments which are ahead. It is their job to interpret fearlessly to the pub lic and to those Bureaus of the Government which have to do with food supply, the true condi tions under which food and fiber production is going forward.” X BELK’S Finishing the year with a million dollar volume SALE Sale Now Going On.

(3) Employ for the care of children only those who have had a lung X-ray showing free dom from tuberculosis. (4) Ask your family physician and local medical society to encourage med ical examination of domestic em ployees and issue health cards on evidence of good health. (5) En list the help of employment a- gencies, as is already in practice in certain communities. Request them to assist in creating a group of “Health Certified Servants.” / (6) Do not try to force compulsory examinations by legislation, since 'this is manifestly unfair and un popular. Instead, try to stimulate good feeling and the co-operation of all by a campaign of education to establish public sentiment in favor of this health movement. There are precautions to be taken, too, against .spreading less serious infections, such as colds. Set an example of good hygiene in this respect by teaching the children to use disposable hand kerchiefs and to wash their hands before touching food. See that the daily menus contain plenty of milk, fruit, and green vegetables and that the supply is sufficient for the help as well as for the children. No one in your home, * especially . one doing the hard work of housekeeping, can keep well on a skimpy diet. Sometimes a helper may have acquired faul ty eating habits, such as nibb ling at sweets or eating only meat coming to Many families which never be fore have entrusted the care of the children to outsiders are find ing it necessary to do so nowadays for one of many current reasons, employment of the mother being the most common. This brings to the fore the importance of having healthy workers in the home. The serious disease / most fre quently transmitted by a servant to members of a household is tu berculosis. Since there are relia ble methods for discovering the presence of this disease it would seem that an examination would be the least parents could demand for the safeguarding of their chil dren. There are, however, stum bling blocks in the way of secur ing health certificates from do mestics, one of which is the feel ing on their part that this is dis criminatory. Why, they ask, should they supply health certificates un less their empolyers do, since they are as apt to contract disease from the family as to transmit it? A campaign of education is needed to prove to workers that there are advantages to them selves in periodic health check ups. It is certainly worth the time, trouble and expense to find out whether anything i6 wrong in time to nip it in the bud, and there’s nothing like the comfort of knowing all is well.
