I Wesson for April 4: John 1:29- 43^; Mark 1:16-20. * I Golden Text: Mark 1:17. t Ob the day following the visit of the delegation from Jerusalem to John the Baptist, he, looking upon Jesns as he passed near, said, “Be hold the Lamb of God!” The two ef the Baptist’s disciples who heard this turned and followed Jesus. He invited them to spend the day • with him. What took place that ^blessed day can only be imagined—it was enough to bring the two men to a faith in Jesus that never wavered. It is supposed that one of the • two was John. The other was An- . drew. The latter first found his «wn brother and brought him to Jesus. “What’s in a name?” Some times much. Jesus gave Simon a m.* name. Was it a help to Si mon? In time he attained unto a character as stable as that which Ida new name implies—a rock. Mark tells how Jesus called the Hum pairs of brothers, Andrew and Simon, James and John, to disci- 1 pleship. And they left their em ployment as fishers and followed Jesus. These four men were 'des lined to a high place among the disciples. During the second quar ter we shall study the life and let ters of two of these, Peter and John, with the aim to find, through our study, “help for Chris- tian living today.” May we fully xeach the aim. Jesus calls men where they are ■and that they may employ what they have for him. Let us learn iram. Peter and John the readiness to answer the call and the willing ness to do what Jesus would have us do. And, as Peter and John feamed of Jesus by being with him, let us learn of him by dwell ing with him through faith, com muning with him in prayer, study ing his word, and serving him as we serve others. Fanners Selling Meat And Butter Must Get Red Point Stamps Columbia, Mafch 27. — South Carolina farmers who produce meat and butter at home for sale ■rust, beginnng March 29, collect from their customers the correct amounts of red point stamps in Tfar Ration Book Two, the state Office of Price Administration sxid today. During the past week, while re tail sales of butter were frozen, farmers of the state have been permitted, under a ruling by OPA, Is sell butter without collecting point stamps from customers. YEns authorization will end at undnight Sunday, March 28. Under the meat-fats rationing program which gets under way March 29, OPA officials said, a farmer who sells meat or butter 4&r other home-produced items covered by the program should teep a record of all such prod- wets sold. At the end of each month he will be required to go to his local war price and ration ing board and report the num ber of pounds he has sold, and l»e must turn over to the board the red point stamps he has col lected during the month. He must comply with this regulation, the OPA said, whether he sells tc individuals or to stores. At the same time, the OPA re quested that farmers who produce more meat, butter, etc., than their families can consume, re frain from spending their own red point stamps in War Ration Bbok Two. While farmers may do so if they wish, the OPA empha sized, they will make a valuable contribution to the rationing pro gram by saving their point stamps in such cases and making more rationed foods available to persons who do not have facilities for producing foods at home. 8350 10-20 DAY AND NIGHT Pattern No. 8350 — It would be wonderful wouldn’t it, to have this style in both versions! When a formal occasion presents itself, what could be more fitting than this lovely square-neck, short- sleeve, basque-top evening gown? When the occasion is informal, can’t you see the day-length model as the perfect answer? Pattern No. 8350 is in sizes 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20.

TOWN AND FARM IN WARTIME No restrictions on food in lockers Food in frozen food lockers may be used by farmers and other consumers without rationing re strictions, OPA has stated. The total amount of perishable food stored in lockers in private i; * '..on farms," v and mercial plants is considered too small to justify the inconvenience it would cause all consumers either to have this food declared, or to place any legal restrictions on its use. Soldiers back to farms The War Department has an nounced procedures by which the soldiers as individiials, may ob tain discharges from the Army to return to their farms. Soldiers on active duty in the continental U. S., who are 38 years of age and over, may be discharged upon favorable consideration of written applications submitted prior to May 1, 1943. These requests must be accompanied by a letter or statement from local farm agents to the effect that the soldiers will be employed in essential agricul tural activities if discharged from ihe Army. Such requests are made by the soldier to his im mediate commanding officer. A soldier meeting these require ments will be discharged promptly unless his release will seriously affect the efficiency of his unit. Farm Machinery The government freeze on the last item of farm machinery needed for food crop production has now been lifted, according to the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. Distribution directives for all haying and harvesting ma chinery are expected to be issued to manufacturers before April 15. Approximately 75 per cent of all types of rationed farm machinery, which was frozen November 1, 1942, has now been freed for dis- Feeding Problems MORE/ THANKS FOR YOUR PATRONAGE We make a special effort to serve all our old friends and customers from out-of-town.

In The Court Of Probate Notice is hereby given that Ethel V. McDaniel, Administratrix of the estate of G. C. McDaniel, deceased, has this day made application un to me for a final accounting and discharge as such Administratrix, and the 27th day of AprJ, 1943, at 10 o’clock, A. M., has been fixed for the hearing of said petition. All persons holding claims a- gainst said estate are hereby noti fied to present same on or by a- bove date. J.

More frozen foods for “43” Expanded facilities for produc ing quick-frozen foods are ex pected to bring total frozen vegetable production to over 200 million pounds in 1943. The in crease in output will be primarily for the purpose of meeting ex panding requirements of the armed forces. Approximately 30 per cent of the production in crease, however, will be available to civilian consumers, and will give them a total of about 180 million pounds—about 20 per cent more than in 1942. Restrictions on seed potatoes Seed potatoes cannot be sold by retail stores for any purpose other than planting, OPA has an nounced. OPA has also ruled that seed potatoes must be tagged as such in sales at retail and cannot be sold by retailers in quantiles of less than 50 pounds Similar steps were taken by OPA March 18. 1943. at the country shipper and other distributor levels. The amendment became effective March 25 and is expected to help curb the potato black markets. Tire Certificates Rationing certificates for tires and tubes may be used at any time convenient to the holder, ac cording to a recent OPA order withdrawing the provision which limited the life of a certificate to 30 days after the date of issu ance. Pressure Cookers For Canning About 150,000 pressure cookers will be produced for this year’s canning season. Although that will be twice as many as were made in 1942, it is believed that demand will be far in excess of the supply. It is uncertain, how ever, whether more than 150,000 can be produced this year be cause of the scarcity of critical materials required in manufac ture, such as metals and syn thetic rubber rings required to seal pressure cookers. Slaughterers Must Have Permit All livestock slaughterers who sell meat, who are not registered with OPA under, meat restriction order No. 1, including farmers and local butchers, are urged to get their permits early and avoid difficulties. Slaughterers must stamp their permit number ’ a 1 : least once on each wholesale cut delivered after March 31. Permits to farmers in all areas and to local butchers and irifeat packers in small towns will be issued by county U. S. Department of Ag riculture war boards. Farmers who slaughter animals for home use only need not obtain permits, but a permit is required for all meat sold. Slaughterers who sell meat must keep complete records of all livestock slaughtered. Recapped Tractor Tires Farm tractor and implement tires will be recapped hereafter only with a material made almost entirely of reclaimed rubber, and replacements will not be issued for tires that are recappable, the OPA announced in a rubber con servation move. Farm Tractor Impor tant Machine In Time Of War The demand for increased pro- | duction of food and feed has turned the farm tractor into a most valuable implement of war, according to County Agent G. W. Bonnette, who emphasizes the im portance of keeping the tractor in good working condition. The most economical perform ance of a tractor is obtained when it is kept clean, both inside and out, and when it is in proper adjustment, the agent explains. To keep its insides clean the trac tor must have clean fuel and reg ular changing and use of good oils and lubricants. Proper attention to the air cleaner and the oil filter is equally important in this connection. A clean radiator is essential for best performance. This is obtained through the use of clean cooling water and keep ing of radiator fins free from dirt, grease, and trash. A clean carburetor in proper adjustment and clean spark plugs with gaps set according to manu facturers’ recommendations are other important items on tractor care and maintenance. Not only do these adjustments give the tractor better performance but they greatly affect the economy of tractor operation through the saving of fuel. All of the necessary information on the proper care, adjustment, and operation of tractors is given in instruction manuals that come with tractors when new. The best rule in getting the most from the farm tractor is to follow directions as given in the instruc tion manual. “Read ’Em and Reap” our ads
