-\griculture Census
Of 1945 Starts Jan. 8
Mr. Frank T. 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,

Good soldier
The proudest title
in the Army
IT CONSISTS of two simple words.
Yet every soldier who’s worth his salt covets it.
This tide is simply: “Good soldier.”
__ I* i ast happenstance that so many women in the
WAC have earned this tide — the prondest in the Army. •
For wherever Wacs are working, both here and overseas,
there you find a job well done. And done with a spirit so
gallant and fine that high Army officers everywhere 8av

“They’re soldiers, Good soldiers!”
Good soldiers...

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

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.

top grade beef, is foreseen at this
time. 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.
OPA urged motor vehicle op
erators to check their tires often
and to apply for new ones only
when recapping or repairing is,
not possible.
December quotas of passenger j
tires for the Columbia district, are !
22,676.

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.
