ST., McCormick, S. C. Columbia, June 27.—With Sout^ Caroling peaches reaching the market in ever-increasing quanti ties, R. E. Robb, South Carolina district renresentative of the War Pood Administration’s (CCC) Of fice of Supply, today urged con sumers to take advantage of the abundant supply to supplement war-restricted menus. “Housewives will do well,” Robb said, “to use a good share of their limited canning sugar to conserve seme of these peaches for later use. Canned goods undoubtedly will remain on the high-point ra tion list for some time, and a home-canned supply of peaches will help stretch the family’s ra tion points.” Robb also pointed out that peaches are well adapted to can ning without sugar. This year’s bumper crop of peaches will tax all available out lets to the limit, Robb said, and in addition to canning he urged con sumers to make fresh peaches a regular item on their shopping lists to help utilize the crop.

Many Apply For Opportunity School Columbia, June 25.—Many ap plications from ex-servicemen and their wives and babies to the Opportunity School are being re ceived daily by the Adult Division of the State Department of Edu cation, which sponsors the proj- f ect, according to Miss Wil Lou ‘Gray, Supervisor. The School will hold its 25th session from July 8 to August 4 at Columbia College. An alumnus who was captured during the African campaign and recently liberated from a German prison wrote that he would at tend this year, adding, “You’ve no idea how wonderful it is to have freedom and a place like America to come to.” Courses this summer have been planned particularly for ex-ser vicemen, and 100 are expected to take advantage of them, Miss Gray said. Twenty-five mothers with babies under two years will be admitted, in a special class con ducted under the direction of the Maternal and Child Health Divis ion of the State Board of Health. Dr. Archibald Rutledge, poet- laureate of South Carolina; Dr. H. N. Snyder, president-emeritus of Wofford College; and Dr. J. M. Araial of Columbia College will conduct a special course in “Lit erature and Life.” Other promi nent citizens will contribute to the development of the Opportunity School theme, “South Caroliha’s Part in Building a Better World.” A special guest on opening night will be Miss Mabel Carney, Mar seilles, Illinois, former head of the rural adult education department of Columbia University. “The Opportunity School is open to all those over 16 who have good health, good minds, clean morals and a desire to learn, and cannot go to day school or college,” Miss Gray pointed out. “There are no credit requirements for entrance and anyone is admitted, ranging from those who have never been to school to high school graduates. While we are stressing what the school can offer veterans and their wives, we shall welcome any oth ers.” Although Camp Opportunity School, Jr., (Miss Marguerite Tol bert, Director), which is operated for boys 14-16, the sons of work ing mothers, at Camp York near Kings Mountain, does not open until July 19, much interest is be ing shown in this project and many applications have already been received, Miss Gray said. As a special war service, the boys will be allowed to devote their after noons to picking peaches for neighboring farmers, under the direction and supervision of the State Department of Agriculture.

Some 15.000 Japs were trapped there to fight to death. So fierce was their resistance that a 36-hour battle developed when the slope of a hill was attacked and 1„7 men of a single marine company, including all the o i.cers, were kihfd or wounded. The cracking of both enemy flanks in tne ^acju-Daive plateau forecast the Japs final defeat. Parenthood BY MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor, Parents' Magazine CHILD LEARNS ABOUT TIME SLOWLY I N OUR opinion, no conversations are quite so fascinating as the scraps overheard when children ar gue among themselves. We remem ber hearing, many years ago, two small boys who were loudly defend ing their respective fathers’ rights to the position of greatest man in the world. The qualities which im pressed them were all interesting, but one item which clinched the ar gument was this: “Well, my father can drive a car five miles an hour.” To that, the other had no ready an- *wer and so there was no further boasting. Educators tell us that a sense '' of time is slow to develop, so - It is no wonder that five to a f youngster could* appear just as great as sixty-five. This lack of time sense is often confus ing to parents. Mother calls to Jimmy, “When are you going to bed?” and Jimmy answers nonchalantly, “Oh, next sum mer." However, this does not mean that children are un aware of time until they can count It. Long before then, they know that certain events follow in order—getting up, breakfast, play, mother says “Come in for a glass of milk, Jimmy," then v . play again and then big brother t gets home from school. By thfe time Jimmy himself starts off to kindergarten, he has learned other facts. First, he will learn that when the hands of the clock | reach a certain point, the bell rings, school is out anti he can dash hc; %. Second, he will learn that on cer tain days there is no school. Little by little he appreciates the changes in seasons, and begins to look for ward to holidays. Perhaps one rea son why all children love Thanks giving is that one of the first his torical facts they grasp is that oth er people, called Pilgrims, lived long ago and celebrated the feast. There is wonder in learning that there is a past as well as a present and future even if they do get all mixed up in your mind. In fact, even third-graders aren’t too sure of their tenses. There are three other points of information regarding time that the third-grader has yet to master, and it will be comforting to parents whose children cannot tell time to know that few youngsters that age can read the clock. Neither can. they tell with accuracy which day of the month it is. But the hardest thing to learn about time seems to be naming the months of the year in correct order. After four years of school less than one-fourth of the children questioned could do this. We give you these facts about a child’s time sense, facts supplied by a psychologist, merely as a gauge to your child’s development in' this respect. There is no need to force this learning as time seems to teach its own lessons eventually.
