McCORMICK MESSENGER, Mc^ORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, December 10. 1 942
20 Farm Security ’
Families To Get
Merit Award Certi
ficates From F. S. A.
30 Farm Security families in
McCormick County will receive
-Merit Award Certificates from the
jferm Security Administration for
their effort in producing FOOD
FOR FREEDOM, was the an
nouncement made today by E.
Hanvey, County FSA Supervisor,
AH the families have farm se
curity loans from the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture to help
them with their farming. They
grow gardens, raise poultry and
livestock, keep milk cows, and do
ether things to produce their own
living and to help produce for
others.
The FSA Merit Awards will be
presented to these families Sat
urday, December 19, at 10:30 A. M.
at the Court House, in a program
arranged for this occasion.
“One of the most gratifying
results of this program has been
the eagerness of the farmers to
raise more food for the war ef
fort. It is evident that there is
a growing feeling of responsibili
ty to themselves and to their
country—a feeling of the highest
patriotism' in a live-at-home pro
gram, by which they make the
Nation stronger,” said Mr. Han
vey.
“Most families came close to the
minimum goals set, and the fam
ilies receiving awards equalled or
surpassed goals set. All the fam
ilies realize that one of the really
important ways in which they
can participate in the war effort
is to produce food and more food.”
“The plans we are making now
for our next crops call for even
larger goals,” said Supervisor
Hanvey. “The production of the
small independent farm family
who has enough family labor to
successfully produce for the war
effort is the hope of this nation,
.in our great emergency. Our
fighting^ men must be fed well,
our workers in the factories must
have strength and energy from

flames spread rapidly. About 500 people lost their lives in the blaze, and
scores were seriously burned.

Job Insurance
Payments Decline
A decrease of 62.2 per cent in
the number of Job insurance
checks issued last month, com
pared with the number mailed in
November, 1941, was announced
today by the South Carolina Un
employment Compensation Com
mission. Only 7,350 separate
checks, totaling $65,869, were
mailed in ^November, 1942, while In
the corresponding period of last
year, 19,450 checks totaling $145,-
150 were issued. The amount of
the average check rose from $7.46
to $8.96.
The total amount paid out to the
eligible unemployed in November
repesented a decline of 54.6 per
cent from payments in the same
month of last year, and 14.7 per
cent from the amount disbursed
in October, 1942.
Most unemployment is now for
a very short period, the Commis
sion said, and by far the greater
proportion of job insurance
claimants do not exhaust their
benefit rights by drawing unem
ployment compensation checks for
the full 16 weeks allowed under
the law. Shortages of necessary
materials, changes from civilian
to war production, and priorities
were responsible for most of pres-
3nt day unemployment, it pointed
Dut, declaring that even in pros
perous times there are always
ome jobless workers.

Share-The-Meat Plan
Discussed By Watkins
Clemson, Dec. 5.—The reasons
for the voluntary share-the-meat
program urged by the Government
are easy to find, Extension Direc
tor D. W. Watkins said here to
day, urging all South Carolinians
to join in the program for econo
my, health, and patriotism.
“Our total supply of meat for
civilian, military, and lend-lease
uses amounts to 24 billion pounds.”
Mr. Watkins explained. “The army:
navy, and lend-lease requirements
call for 6 1-2 billion pounds, leav
ing a total of 17 1-2 billion
pounds for civilian use. The de
mand, however, on the part of
civilians is for 21 billion pounds.
This leaves us 3 1-2 billion pounds
short of the amount civilians
would use if it were available.
“Of course we want to have a
share-the-meat program fully ef
fective and agreed to by every
body because our knowledge of
nutrition makes us realize how
important it is that every person
get a reasonable amount of meat
regularly.
“No hardship will follow the ap
plication of this 2 1-2-pound limit
because it includes only what is
ordinarily spoken of as carcass
meats and does not include speci
al meats such as liver, kidney,
heart, head, feet; nor does it in
clude any poultry, fish, rabbit, or
other game. Nutrition specialists
also point out that other sources
of protein that may supplement
meats in the diet include milk,
cheese, eggs, peanuts and beans.
“This program dos not restrict
farm people in carrying out
sound farm and home plans. Each
farm family of five should grow
and slaughter three hogs averag
ing 225 pounds live weight, and
should grow one yearling beef for
home slaughter and keep 25 hens
and hatch out 100 baby chicks
each year. This is to supply
home needs, and any additional
amount produced for market fits
right into the wartime farm pro
gram.
“Farm people have asked
whether they will be limited in
l he amount of meat that they can
laughter and cure or can for
home use. The answer is that no

mitations whatever have been
placed on farm families producing
heir own meat supply, but they
ire asked to abide by the 2 1-2-
pound per week average consump-
ion of carcass meats.
“Up to the present time,” Mr.
Watkins concludes, “the cash in-
omes of Carolina farmers are too
low to expect that they will ever
)uy much meat from the butcher
shops. It takes two hogs on
the hoof to buy back the pork
from one hog. Consequently
farmers will surely be limited tc
the use of what they grow them
