' Lesson for June 11 : Epistle to Philemon. Golden Text: Ephesians 4:32. Our lesson is the whole of a Testament book—it consists of one chapter and is about the length of an ordinary letter. In It Paul writes Philemon in behalf of a runaway slave named Onesi- mus who had put more than 1,000 miles, “as the crow flies,” between himself and his master and per haps hoped to escape the notice of any one who knew him in the throngs of a great city. But; after all, the world is small —-in Rome, Paul and Onesimus came in contact, and the blessing V apostle brought to the soul of ; e slave changed his attitude : av hat of a runaway to that of -■ u ng servant. ’Evidently One- > a . was quite willing to return doubtless kindly received. Both master and servant came to the rots, orange juice, orange-grape- sense of a new relationship. They were one in Christ, and acting as brothers in Him, they proved their right relation to Jesus, their Lord. May we come to a new sense of relationship through our faith in Jesus, and prove our love to Him by demonstrating our love to men around us.

Only point increases noted on the new list are for processed grape and pineapple juice. TIRE RATIONING Although the number of new passenger tires available for ra tioning in June is slightly larger than in May, demand still far ex ceeds production or the available quota, E. H. Talbert, District Di rector of the Office of Price Ad ministration at Columbia, has an nounced. He again emphasized the neces sity for continued tire conserva tion. Fewer heavy duty truck tires will be rationed in June than in May, Mr. Talbert pointed out, de claring that a critical situation exists in this field. June passenger tire quotas for South Carolina total 21,233 for Grade I tires. PRICE PANEL ASSISTANTS A drive to step up South Caro lina’s price control program will continue this week, E. H. Talbert, District OPA Director, said. Goal of the campaign is for each local War Price and Ration ing Board member and employee to recruit one person each to serve as a volunteer Price Panel Assistant. Price Panel Assistants work with local merchants to assist them in understanding price regulations and in observing ceiling prices. They also make surveys to see that pricing and price posting re quirements are observed. RATION BOOK REPLACEMENTS Accidental removal from a War Ration book of stamps not yet valid for buying rationed com modities is not grounds for getting a new ration book, E. H. Talbert, District Director of OPA at Co lumbia, has announced. Holders of such books should not aply to their local Boards for re- definitely on June 16 for five pounds, E. H. Talbert, District Di rector of the Office of Price Ad ministration at Columbia, has an nounced. The validation continues the household sugar ration at the same rate previously—five pounds per person every two and a half months. POLITICAL NOTICE Watch For Insects And Diseases coupons in his possession, as soon as they are issued him by the Ra- placement books, Mr. Talbert said, tion Board. NEW POINT VALUES Food shoppers again will bene fit from point values of meats and processed foods now in effect, E. H. Talbert. District Director of the Office of Price Administration, has announced. HighligL.j are the reduction of all rationed cheese and cheese products from 12 to 10 points per pound, reduction of point value of beef chuck roasts and steaks two red points per pound and reduc- pointing out that many of the stamps may never be needed for rationed commodities, and there fore, may never be validated. Should a validation period be declared for a stamp after it has been accidentally or mistakenly removed, the ration book may ihen be considered mutilated and an application for replacement may be made. SUGAR STAMP 32 Sugar stamp 32 in War Ration Book Four will become good in- Mexican Bean Beetle Control: Dust with mixture containing Rotenone or Cryolite. Due to war conditions, Rotenone is likely to become scarce. Cryolite is recommended as a substitution. It should not be used on snap beans after pods be gin to form, to avoid the harmful residue. These mixtures are us ually found with local seedmen, properly diluted for use. Rote none is non-poisonous insecticide. Spray with 1 1-2 pounds of un diluted derris dust to 50 gallons of water as often as needed, or 3 pounds of undiluted Cryolite to 50 gallons of water. Tomato Fruit Worm: Apply poison bait when the first fruit sets and at weekly intervals until four applications have been made. Mix bait with 9 pounds of corn meal and one pound of calcium arsenate and scatter by hand lightly over the foliage. This should be sufficient for a home garden. If you do not have a copy of Bulletin 102, “Garden and Truck Crop Insects,” and Miscellaneous Publication No. 525, “A Victory Gardener’s Handbook on Insects and Diseases,” please write at once for your copy. Last Call For A Victory Garden Let it not be said that there is one on your farm or in your neighborhood who has not planted vegetables for Victory. It is not too late to plant the following vegetables: Okra, Sweet Potatoes, Tomatoes, Edible Cowpeas, Roasting Ear Corn, Peanuts. Practically all of the above re quire little or no spraying and are very resistant to diseases and in sects. All of these vegetables a- dapt themselves to field culture and usually produce in abun dance.
