Hamlin, who Has hcen appointed Local Supervisor f~r District Number 1 with Mead- ruarters in Anderson, announces that his assistant will be Mr. Fred O. McCown and that he, together with Mr. McCown, has recently < 'mpleted a school of instruction for Agriculture Census of 1945. The counties comprising this ( strict are: Abbeville, Anderson, Fdgefield, Greenwood, McCormick, dewberry, Oconee, Pickens and Saluda. Offices have been opened at Room 1, City Hall, Anderson, telephone number 36. It is interesting to note that there will be approximately 82 e- numerators in this district. These enumerators will in turn be in structed at a school to be held in the various counties of the dis trict at a specified time so that on January 8th all enumerators, 3.ot only in this district, but in the entire State, will be prepared to launch the beginning of the 1945 census. While this census is definitely confined to agriculture it is mos; interesting to note that it will not necessarily be confined to the ru ral areas, since there are numbers of farms within the various towns and cities. For census purposes, farm is defined as three acres, or a gross annual production of $250. 00 and from this it will develop that numerous farms will be lo cated within the corporate limits of cities. Some of the types of these farms will be found to be apinries (bee farms) greenhouses ■latcheries (baby chicks, poults etc.), nurseries (except for re fprestation projects, or in connec tion with parks), Victory gardens keeping of chickens and the pro duction of broilers (including bat- teryl&ytoS and battery-broiler plants), production of flowers and bulbs for sale, production of vege table and flower seeds, plants bulbs, tubers, etc.^ rabbit raising, etc. The position of enumerator is, '■3k Good soldier The proudest title in the Army IT CONSISTS of two simple words.

Families who cure their own meats may give hams or other ra tioned cuts as Christmas gifts on ly if they collect sufficient red points and turn them in to their local War Price and Rationing Beard, District OPA Director E. H. Talbert said today. However, he added, families who do home canning of rationed fords may give away as many as 100 quarts for each member of the amily ration free. . Mr. Talbert explained that hom:- canned foods are considered apart rom commercial pack. However, all meat animals are considered part of the nation’s food supply. Although civilian consumption of rationed meats is expected to )e higher than normal in Decem ber, no changes in present point values were made for the period begun December 3. At the same time, District CPA Director E. H. Talbert said point values in effect on all other ra tioned foods remain the same dur ing the four-week period. Mr. Talbert explained that the present point values on rationed meats could be maintained in face of expected increased civilian con sumption because of corresponding small increase in supply of ration ed meats. However, he cautioned, the increase in supply is so small that no general relief from cur rent meat shortages, especially in ISmtidti t REV. ROBERT R HARPER t Christ *n the Home. "-j Lesson for December 10: Gen. 1: 27, 28 ; 2:18; Matthew 19:4-6; Luke 10:38-42; Ephesians 6:1-4; 11 Timothy 1:3-6. Golden Text: John 15:17. I N GENESIS we learn that maj>; riage is ordained of God—cer tainly it is necessary to the ongoing of the race, and it brings to man and woman the finest blessing* earth can give and opens to them the obligation and the opportunity to live for good in their children. From Jesus we learn that mar riage is for life and the home to be permanent. “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” The Master did not approve the easy divorce whn-h Moses had allowed, and He nam d only one cause for divorce. In the home at Bethany, we f - i two sisters and a brother lov < and devoted, with Jesus honorrr. and a welcome guest. In Eplv- sians 6:1-4 we learn of the r : ' relation between children and r - ■* ents — children should honor a* obey, fathers should not deal ha*-* :* ly with their children “but br them up in the nurture and admun.- tion of the Lord.” Someone said a child’s educ.v ; n should begin 20 years before he is born; another said it should n with his grandparents. Nearly r )0 years before these statements were made Paul had written Timothv of the faith of the young man’s gr -^d- mother and mother. It was an in heritance of faith which had broi jht Timothy to Christ; rather was it both inheritance and environment- much was inherited and from a child Timothy was trained by pre cept and example to love God. If Christ dwells in the home in all its relationships, the command to love one another, found in the Golden Text, will be faithfully and gladly-followed.

Beef, lamb and mutton will actually be scarcer during the month but the decreases arc ex pected to be more than offset by increases in supply of pork and veal. December tire quotas, announc ed by the District OPA Office in Columbia are expected to give lit tle relief from present shortages, particularly of commercial tires. 1 imall increases in overall quotas of passenger car and heavy duty :ruck and bus tires are expected to be offset by applications from motorists of the district during the month and by the “backleg” of applications which has accu mulated in recent months.

AUGUSTA, GA. BUY and USE Christmas Seals tion has discontinued rationing used passenger tires still in the hands of tire dealers as residue of the nearly seven million pur chased from motorists by the De fense Supplies Corporation two years ago. District OPA Director E. H. Tal bert said these tires were removed from rationing because distribu tion of the few remaining ; ’ t become so spotty certificate h u ers, principally “A” card hoA\ were unable to locate them Ir many instances. Thus, he said, it has become apparent that ra- toining of used passenger car tires had ceased to serve any valuable purpose and had become an un necessary burden on Local Board. Used truck tires, however will continue to be rationed as the new action, effective December 5, af fects only passenger car tires. / - ■ ‘ s * ' i '■* ■ • .*V* • -"'v' £
