Meeting called to order and devotionals by the beloved president, Mrs. D. J. McAllister. Roll call and read ing the minutes by our very effi cient secretary, Mrs. J. J. White. After a miscellaneous collection Mrs. White presented a very in teresting program on aids to health. Selections on the subject were read by different members. As a very pelasant inspection tour of the beautiful flower gardens and gardens was on the afternoon program, we had to hurry, so af ter delicious refreshments of an iced drink and little cakes, the meeting adjourned for the tour. First we visited the sweet little home of Misses Florence and Susie Patterson, where we found an abundance of lovely flowers and a very fine vegetable garden. Miss Susie is quite a fine garden er, as her fine vegetables show. Next was a pleasant visit to Mrs. White’s and Mrs. J. J. White’s home, where we found another very fine garden and also lovely flowers. As time was passing rapidly, we next visited Mrs. McKinney’s fine garden and also very pretty flow ers. Our next stop was at the home of Mrs. W. A. Scott, where we also found a fine garden in the making and very lovely flow ers. The snapdragons were ex quisitely beautiful. Our next stop was at the home of Misses Lennie and Eliza Covin. Miss Lennie is the gardener and Miss Eliza is the florist and both have beautiful results. Time was getting short so our next stop was with Mrs. Leonora Hardaway. Her- garden is not only very fine but also very useful as she is using it. Her flowers are also very, very beautiful.

(By G. W. Bonnette, County Agent) D )wzK(i \ /"j ■m m i V v y v Public transportation—by highway and skyway, by railway and waterway—is one of the most vital industries of this State of ours. It represents far more than a vast array of terminals, equip ment, repair shops and cold statistics about moving manpower — it’s the link that joins South Carolina’s cities and towns and rural communities to each other and to the rest of the Nation. In these tense times, it is the means of bringing boys home on furlough — of getting workers to the war plants where they’re needed—of keeping on the move all those people whose travel is essen tial to Victory. An estimated 17,000 of our fellow-citi- zens of South Carolina are overcoming untold wartime difficulties to keep our transportation system running in high. They’re hard at work on the 21 rail roads and the 2 airlines serving South Carolina, on boats, barges, huge fleets of trucks, and on the 46 inter-city bus STROM S CUT-RATE DRUG STORE Phone 95 McCormick, S. C. lines which operate 231 buses along 3,555 miles of routes within our State borders. The regulation during develop ment of this excellent transportation system has been the responsibility of the South Carolina Public Service Com mission and its predecessor commissions —and they deserve credit for their ac complishments. We who keep Greyhound buses rolling across our State are conscious of the importance of our particular job—espe cially in wartime. Many of our people today are serving in the Armed Forces —the rest of us are doing our level best to provide the safe, efficient highway transportation that’s so essential to the war efforts of our fellow-citizens of South Carolina. greyhound .un.es — iam These long, hot days are just what we have been wishing for, so let's not let “The Spring Fever” get the best of us until we have all our crops planted and worked out, then we can go put our fish baskets in the river, or take a day off for fishing or (something?). If you plan to harvest your own grain get your binder or combine in running order now, as parts are hard to find and orders travel very slowly. If you plan to have some one else do the job—better be sure you have a definite ar rangement, as it is necessary for the combine operator to make a schedule. For goodness sake, that “Lime” of yours got here at the busiest time of the year, but Miss Deason couldn’t help it, as these prders were placed by the Columbia of fice. However, she has done all she could to avoid having any more lime come in car boxes. Mc Cormick County has already re ceived 25 carloads of lime. Folks, “lime” is terrible to handle, but the results that you receive in a few years to come will pay you great dividends. Our “County Terracing Outfit” has completed about 100,000 feet of terraces. I hope that every a- cre in this county of ours can re ceive a good system of terraces be fore so long. Our grain is good—cotton in many places is up to a good stand —corn is being planted, and our gardens begin to show some prog ress.
