School Holiday Is
Asked For Rationing
Columbia, Feb. 13.—In a joint
statement addressed to South Car
olina teachers, school principals,
and superintendents, Governor
Olin D. Johnston and State Su
perintendent of Education James
H. Hope requested the suspension
of classes in all state schools dur
ing the week beginning February
22 "for as many days as necessary
k o get the new War Ration Boo 1 >
into the hands of all our people.”
"Your Government needs your
help, and calls on you to distrib
ute War Ration Book Two,”
Governor Johnston and Superin
tendent Hope declared. “This is a
hard task, of fundamental im
portance to our country at war.
“With approval of the South
Carolina State Board of Educa
tion, we ask that you suspend
classes in the week beginning
February 22 for as many days as
necessary to get the new War
Ration Book into the hands of
all our people.
“Each day devoted to the issu
ance of this book will be con
sidered a school day. Only the
schools can perform this tremen
dous task. Thank you for this
service over and above your nor
mal duties.’?
Superintendent Hope cited nu
merous Instances in which many
South Carolina schools have al
ready begun teaching the tech
nique of point rationing in the
classroom. He said that this
would be recognized as a valuable
contribution to the success of the
new rationing plan.

17,348 Miles Of Rural
Electric Lines In State
WHEN, WHERE,
AND HOW TAXES
ARE TO BE PAID
Clemson, January 29th. — “The
extension of rural electrification
in South Carolina has perhaps
been more rapid than in any
other state in recent years”, says
Director D. W. Watkins of the
Clemson Extension Service. “That
was possible partly because we
had so far to go, but more par
ticularly because legislation and
local leadership showed the way.
“From practically no mileage in
1935, the state now has 17,348
miles of rural electric lines serv
ing 76,848 customers. At this time
39.9 per cent of our farms have
electricity as compared with a
national average of 31.3 per cent,"
accordnig to Director Watkins.
South Carolina took the lead in
trying to extend electricity to its
farms by an act of the legisla
ture in 1935 creating the State
Rural Electrification Authority.
Later the Federal act was passed
forming the R. E. A., from which
our State Authority borrowed
money and built about 2,500 miles
of lines. These were later turned
over to the farmer-owned cooper
atives that were organized largely
by G. H. Stewart of the Clemson
Extension Service in conformity
with a new State Act passed in
1940, which more nearly fit in
with the plan as contemplated in
the national set-up. Mr. Monson
Morris of the Aiken Electricc Co
operative, Senator Lyles of Fair-
field and his committee, and Gov
ernor Maybank all played leading
parts in this transition.
There are now 23 of these elec
tric cooperatives serving every
:ection of the state. Their mis-
ion, as shown by the fact that
n their 9,692 miles of rural lines
hey average 2.76 customeres to
:he mile, while all other lines in
he state average 6.51 customers
o the mile, according to records
d the State Public Service Com
mission. .
Thus we see the cooperatives
taking this great boon to farm
life to the remote places otherwise
unable to get electricity. “When
materials again become available,
ve will see electricity carried to
other thousands of farm hornet by
these cooperatives along route r 1-
ready fully surveyed”, concl dcs
Director Watkins.
McCormick County has r >.6
miles of rural electric lines t.tat
serve 190 customers. Out of / bis
the Aiken county Cooperative has
21 miles with 46 customers ...id
the Little River Organization of
Abbeville has 2 miles servL.^; 4
customers in this county.

There will be' a tremer ous
demand for garden seeds and .up-
plies this year. We cannot af
ford to waste seed, fertilizer, in
secticides, time, and labor on poor
ground or by neglectful garden
ing.”—H. W. Hochbaum, chair
man, Victory Garden committee,
USD A.
Taxes due on a return filed for
the. calendar year 1942 may bf
paid in full at the time for the
filing of the return on or before
March 15, 1943. The tax may, o*
the option of the taxpayer, be
paid in four equal installmentr
instead of in a single payment,
in which case the first install-
ment is to be paid on or before
March 15, the second on or be
fore September 15, and the fourth
on or before December 15, 1943.
If the taxpayer elects to pay his
tax in four installments, each of
the’ four installments must be e-
qual in amount, but any install
ment may be paid, at the elec
tion of the taxpayer, prior to the
time prescribed for its payment.
If an installment is not' paid in
full on or before the date fixed
for its payment, the whole a-
mount of the tax remaining un
paid is required to be paid upon
notice and demand from the col
lector.
The tax must be paid to the
collector of internal revenue for
the district in which the taxpay
er’s return is required to be filed'
—that is, to the collector for the
district in which is located the
taxpayer’s legal residence or prin
cipal place of business, or if he
has no legal residence or princi
pal place of business in the United
States, then to the collector of in
ternal revenue 3 at Baltimore,
Maryland.
In the payment of taxes a frac
tional part of a cent is to be dis
regarded unless it amounts to one-
half cent or more, in which case
it shall be increased to one cent.
The tax due, if any, should be
paid in cash at the collector’s of
fice, or by check or money order
payable to “Collector of Internal
Revenue.” In the case of payment
in cash, the taxpayer should in
every instance require and the
collector should furnish a receipt.
In the case of payments made by
check or money order, however,
the canceled check or the money
order receipt is usually a suffi
cient receipt.

•A baldish, 50-year-old gentleman farmer
with a broad view of his responsibilities
serves capably as treasurer not only to his
own. but to many other nations. As secretary
of the treasury of the United States, and thus
financial executor of lease-lend, Henry Mor-
genthau Jr. is. in fact, “treasurer to the de
mocracies.”
•Secretary Morgeothau, in spite of the gi
gantic task of raising enough money to finance
our part in the war. regards as equally im
portant the task of preserving our essential]^
capitalistic democratic system. By way of do*
ing so. he has stabilized our dollar until it is
now the strongest currency in the world. And
he continues to advocate government economy
and to work toward what is probably his chief
goal—a balanced budget.
•He rises early (usually at 6:30), frequently
walks the two miles to work, lunches in the
Treasury building, and often takes work home
with him at night. He has been quoted as
saying that the treasury is his wbola life.
And he gives his whole life to it.
