- V. *v This Wi ik in m Washington, D. C., July 19.— (NWNS) — The President has , shown no signs of being in a hur ry for the return of congress from the recess which it expects to enjoy until September 14. In fact, he is probably breathing a lot easier, as he tries to cope with the problems of our domestic e- conomy, by knowing that congress won't change his plans. However, congress is recessing under different rules than usually apply to recesses. Ordinarily the members can only be called back by the President, but this recess was taken under a special ar rangement by which congress could be called back by the vice president, the speaker or the ma jority or minority leaders. Thus, if congressional leaders don’t like the way things are ’ going in Washington, they can reopen this session at any time. This is the first formal recess congress has had since 1938. Dur ing that time there has been a great change in the politics and the activities of congress. Until the last election, congress was thought of more and more as merely a “rubber stamp” body which would give its approval to anything the President requested. Recently, however, it has dem onstrated its independence of the administration on several occa sions. It put through pay-as- you-go tax legislation which was contrary to the administration’s plan; it passed anti-strike legis lation over the President’s veto and it gave him the power to grant subsidies to keep food prices down by only one vote. Now, after rebelling ..^against an administration-dictated home ec onomic program, the congress men will have an opportunity to check with their home folks on SMNETON what they think of it all. In most sections of the country it is expected that the people will make it clear to their congress men that they heartily endorse their recent activities. If that is true, we can then expect to find the returning congress even more ready to buck the administration on any proposals which do not directly affect the war effort. So far congress has continued to leave the war program under the direction of the President and will probably continue to grant whatever appropriations he says are needed fio keep our armed forces and those of our allies functioning with maximum ' effi ciency. Some political experts believe that the President’s popularity rating with the people will take a jump while congress is away. They point out that the limelight has been on congress rather than on the President during recent months and, with congressmen a- way from Washington, the Presi dent’s activities will once more be he center of attention. The*' predict further that if some of cur domestic problems, such as food production, turn out better than expected, the President is now more apt to get the credit And if the war outlook is still brighter by September; as it looks as though it will be, the Presi dent and cabinet officers will on joy greater public approval. So it is more or less of a toss- up as to whether the •- President or congress will gain a stronger position as a result of the pres ent recess, but it is likely that there will be a considerable shift in the present delicate relation ship between the executive and legislative branches when con gress reconvenes.

Hopkins, boll weevil control specialist of the Clemson Extension Service. Since it is only two weeks until veevil migration will begin in the lower part of the state around \ugust 1, there is little time left cr effective dusting. Only a 'mall percentage of the farmers ire equipped to dust, but dustinr ■quipment is available for those who may wish to buy it. It Ls important that the amoun' of dust applied per acre not be excessive, says Mr. Hopkins. In no case should it be more than four pounds per acre each appli cation. An even smaller amount would be sufficient if evenly dis tributed. There is at present a rather large population of plant lice al ready on cotton. Those using dust to control the weevil should watch very carefully the lice infestation and if necessary should use a nic otine calcium arsenate mixture rather than straight calcium ar- sente. It should be remembered that high temperature at a time when there is no air movement is necessary if effective • control of lice is to be expected. All county agents reports re ceived indicate that there are suf ficient quantities of calcium arsen ate in the hands of local dealers to meet all anticipated demands at the present time. Mr. F. M.

X Revival Meeting Starts At Troy Bap tist Church Sundav State .OP A Gives Points On Su^ar Insisting that the extra sugar allowed on Stamps 15 and 16 1m War Ration Book Number 1 ts sufficient for the canning an£ preserving needs of the average- family in South Carolina, the State Office of Price Administera- tion this week urges housewives not to ask the local boards lor additional sugar unless Qket' needs are extraordinary and im perative. “The number of famifirs that need the total allowable "Si pounds per person in the fairiffejr is few and far between,” fSae State OPA says. Using Stamp 15 and 16, the average family of S will have 50 additional pounds «£ sugar for canning and presenr5®g^ Local boards have been asfeafi to examine carefully every 're quest for cannnig sugar, in addi tion to that obtainable tbEK Stamp 15 and 16, in order to pre serve the normal family need® over the state. For the information of honar users of sugar, the State CRA. makes the following points: 1. Stamps 15 and 16 from War Ration Book 1 are each good Har five pounds of sugar per persxsai until October 31. This meaiSB that the average family will gRfc enough sugar from these stanga; to take care of its normal can ning and preserving needs. 2. If a family has such a large; amount of canning to do Sadi the sugar allowed by Stamps 15 and 16 will not suffice, request can be made of the local boiodi for additional sugar, up to a mas- mum of 15 pounds per person at- bove the normal allotment icr canning and preservipg. 3. By no means should a faaa— ily go to a local board for idgec sugar than Stamp 15 and 16 al lows, unless the /canning neefiE require more than that amounts 4. If a family requests mac sugar, the person asking ShocSA be prepared to tell how much canning she is doing 'and hoar much extra sugar she will noe€ above the Stamps T5 and 16 al lotment. 5. Only 5 pounds per person whatever amount a family use* above normal non-canning necfic may be used for preserving. Thas a family of 5 people, using oa&w Stamps 15 and 16 for canni*^ and preserving needs, could have a maximum of 25 pounds of tits for preserving. There would left 25 pounds then for canning.
