TRUE TO OURSELVES, OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD. I Forty-Third Year Established June 5,1902 McCORMICK, S. C, THUB SDAY, AUGUST 24, 1944. Number 12 Washington, D. C., August 21. — (NWNS) — It is believed that one of President Roosevelt’s prime reasons for going to Hawaii was to center additional attention on the Japanese war—to remind the peo ple of this country that there is still a big war to be won after vic tory in Europe. There is a gen eral feeling among top military leaders here that the people are .anticipating returning to peace time living as soon as Germany gives up—and these leaders fear that victory in the Pacific could be delayed by months or by years if war workers, and the public in general, don’t attach more impor tance to the vast job to be done in the Pacific. It is true that some types of war production will taper, off when the European phase of the war ends, but other materials will be needed in increased quantities. Manufac ture of smaller planes, for exam ple, may be cut down but the pro duction of Superfortresses will be greatly increased. This shift in the kind of work to be done make the best possible equipment for fighting the Japanese, will call for the transfer of workers from one job to another, but there will still be plenty of war work for all. In the airplane industry alone it is estimated that 100,000 men will have to change jobs before the end of the year. But in rhany areas the manpower shortage will con tinue and even after the war in Europe is over there is expected to continue to be a shortage of men rather than a shortage of jobs. Another misconception which military leaders are trying to clear up is the expectation of many peo ple that a large part of the army and perhaps some of the men in the navy will no longer be needed and discharged after victory in Mayor Urges Citizens To Help Control Mosquitoes We are trying to control the Columbia, August 22. — The Ma- mosqujtoes in town and I want to ♦We fVint it will sons of South Carolina will con-. urge all property owners to pile is no hope of this and a 1 during the month of Sep- tin cans and other rubbish that even be necessary to continue tol° uc ^ auri Pe ine mo “ t “ ^ * ^ Europe. They point out that there Masons To Conduct Campaign For Sale Of War Bonds even be necessary draft more civilians for the armed services as long as the war with Japan continues. It is expected that the personnel of the navy will have to be enlarged considerably on the Pacific war, many new men will be needed ; to replace those who are no longer physically or mentally able to continue fighting and a large army will probably have to remain in Europe to assist in handling the vast policing prob lems of restoring Europe to a peacetime existence. The military leaders, therefore, will hold water, cut the weeds and the town truck will pick it up. T. J.

Ken Dowtin used this SMOKELESS COAL STOVES • A Utopian tomorrow—in which neither coal burning trains, facto ries, office and apartment build ings, nor homes give off smoke — is the promise held out by new de- vtlopments in combustion princi ples. Of particular interest to some 17,000,000 users of heating stoves in nearly half the homes of Amer ica is a smokeless unit which will be available just as soon as cer tain critical materials are released for civilian consumption, perhaps even before the end of the war. This new “bungalow furnace” — three feet high, two feet square and capable of comfortably heat ing a four or five-room dwelling unit — is expected to sell for a- bout $60. And there is the extra good news that, in eliminating smoke and gas, coal consumption goes down. In discussing the features of the new stove, Julian E. Tobey, chairman, technical advisory board, bituminous coal research, said: “You actually burn the gases and smoke which formerly went up the chimney. That not only gets rid of those nuisances but al so cuts your coal bill. More than that, this new heater burns the carbon which previously was lost with the ashes. Again more heat, and less refuse to carry out. Roughly, you can get about 50 per cent more heat, and approximate ly one-third fewer ashes, from the coal that goes into the new stove than you do with old-fashioned models. In other words, $10 worth of coal will give you as much heat, minus the smoke, gas, soot, smudge and grime, as you now get- from $15 worth. It is estimated^ that this saving alone will pay for the cost of the heater within two or three years.” To satisfy the desire of house holders for a smokeless coal-burn ing heater, the bituminous coal in dustry and 27 stove manufacturers embarked on an intensive re search program which, after more than two years, led to the perfec tion of the bungalow furnace that has the same comfort and conve nience features as higher priced and more-expensive-to-opera t« heating equipment. The new stove operates on a sys tem of air supply, similar to that provided by the air jets which now are being so successfully applied to steam locomotives. The unique and radically different but scien tifically proved principle of stove combustion combines three factors —an ample supply of air at the right points, a series of high-tem perature refractory flues, and a path of travel for the gases which causes the latter to burn away and thus not only eliminates smoke bat, also effectively recovers a much higher percentage of ihe heating value of the coal. Because of the original princi ples on which it operates, the bun galow furnace is not limited in the kind of fuel it will burn—any type of bituminous coal is satisfactory, even the low-cost unscreened ruc- of-mine variety. A streamlined and ultra-modern kitchen range, incorporating the same principles of design and op eration as the stove, also has been developed and will give equal sat isfaction with coal or wood. Less frequent refueling likewise means less smoke, as it is evident only when coal is added to the fire —even so, that little quickly dis appears. It also means less work for the tender of the stove — only about one-sixth as much manual attention as required by conven tional types. The bungalow furnace was thor oughly tested under actual heating conditions before an nouncement to the public.

This assistance applies to all com monly grown legumes in the state, except cowpeas. soybeans, peanuts.

At the same time, cash assistance and materials are offered farmers in ' the building and maintenance of pastures, the use of lime and superphosphate, and the building of terraces. All practices must meet certain T’o TTo |«|'|'|p|«c 1 specifications which can be ob- ^ 1 tained from county agents, Triple- O offices, and Triple-A committee men.
