Salvage Must Continue Declaring there was immediate and grave danger of the collapse of the nationwide salvage program before its magnificent job was ful ly confipleted, J. A. Krug, Chair man of the War Production Board, today emphasized that the 21,000 volunteer salvage committees throughout the country should “stay on the job lest the recon version program be impaired.” Paper salvage must continue, Mr. Krug said. Fats and oils likewise must be conserved as much as before. The same applies to tin cans. All of these materials are short and will continue to be short for some time. The salvag ing of all of them is of importance to orderly reconversion. Other wise, Mr. Krug warned, the coun try may experiecne “a serious problem as the aftermath of the war.” Mr. Krug pointed out that al though the shooting phase of the war has ended, a war of supplies now is being waged, and so long as there are bottlenecks to recon version because of shortages of such raw materials as paper, fats and oils, and tin, not only the volunteer salvage committees but every man, woman, and child in the country must continue to co operate.’ Obviously, Mr. Krug said, “the war is not over for a soldier un til he comes home and has a job We must make the jobs by sup plying the raw materials.” The WPB chairman paid tribute to the performance of the salvage committees throughout the coun try, and to those who provided trucks for the collection of ma terials. “It would be a shame”, he said, if this magnificent organization were to collapse now when it is needed to avert the shortages that might hinder reconversion. “We hope the need for volunteer activities in salvaging these ma terials will terminate in the near future, and as soon as it is felt that industry can reorganize and resume its regular collection chan nels disrupted by the war, the committee members will be ad vised. Meanwhile, we strongly urge everyone connected with the salvage programs to stay on the ob.” BARBECUE HASH ON SATURDAYS Will serve Barbecue Hash to the public ev ery Saturday at my store.

READ THE AD Along With the News School Lunches Make Healthier Children Clemson, Aug. 25.—There is a definite need for improvement in lie physical growth and nutrition al condition of many rural school children in South Carolina, thinks Miss Ada M. Moser, home econo mist of the South Carolina Experi ment Station, who says that the school lunch can play an impor- »nt part in bringing about such mprovement. x However, providing rural children with well-planned meals on school days requires close cooperation between home and school, she declares. In a study of the effect on the nutritional condition of children of a well-planned school lunch made in two rural communities in Pickens county, Miss Moser ound that good gains in height were made by a larger proportion of the group served a complete unch than of another group re ceiving a partial lunch. Among the children of both groups, there was a high per centage of physical defects such as diseased tonsils, enlarged cervi- al glands, carious teeth, and poor posture. The children were small Weigkt: poi Le»t<& exceed 15 rE? ,, Se (girth). ' inches distance » r ° must not exceeo CfAUSSEK’S IS HAPPY TO BRING YOU....

These observations constitute a chal- enge to public health and educa tional agencies. These rural school children were away from home from early in the morning till middle afternoon and missed the family midday meal On arriving at home from school, many of them would eat only a potato, a piece of bread, or a des sert instead of a meal; and over half of them ate only bread and milk for supper. Hence, the lunch served at school was the main meal of the day. The group which had been serv ed a full school lunch showed ex ternal signs of good nutrition. On the other hand, the gruop which had been served a partial school lunch had apparently lost ground. X Winter Cover Crops To Improve The Soil f)Clemson, Aug. 25.—The wide in terest of South Carolina farmers in the growing of winter cover crops as a means of improving and conserving their soils may be fair ly well judged by the fact that 579,950 acres of winter cover crops were planted on 57,811 farms in this state in the fall of 1943 pri marily for turning under in the spring of 1944 and for which the Agricultural Adjustment A*' 'ey gave the farmers a litle more an $1,000,000.00 in the form of cash assistance, says J. M. Np .>ier, Clemson extension-AAA agert It is generally recognize d by most good farmers that thos .• ils which are best supplied with or ganic matter—and prop2rly < in- ed—are usually the ones on which the best crops are produced. Most farmers also realize that as soil becomes depleted of organic mat ter its ability to produce good crops declines. Furthermore, .nos' good farmers recognize that tc succeed with winter cover crops certain conditions must be met in the planting and handling of these crops, such as suitable soil, well prepared seedbeds, fertilization, early fall seeding, and plenty of Parenthood Y ^ * MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS | Associate Editor, Patents* Magazine CONDITIONING CiUl tJ l OK JCT'. X'L \ A T THIS time of year you’re probably pretty busy getting your children ready for school. Jur>*or and his sister have no doubt outgrown last year’s sweaters and shoes, and these aren’t too easily provided in this year of shortages. But there’s more than shopping to do in getting your child ready for school. Have you stopped to think what a lot of other things a child brings with him to school be sides his school-bag? For instance, he brings physical health, good or bad, which will most certainly affect the way he does his school work. Make sure that any defects due to teeth or tonsils, faulty nu trition or fatigue are taken care of before school begins. Consult your doctor or a health center if you have any doubts. But equally important Is his mental health. If he has had a good summer vacation, with plenty of satisfying activity, he is likely to return to school with fresh zest and interest. But you can do much to help him have such attitudes. Discuss with him the new things he’ll be learning this year, the new teacher, and any interesting j things you may know about i her. Talk about some of the ’ schoolmates he hasn’t seen since last June, and stir his curiosity about any new chil dren who will he in his class this fall. Not only Is this friend liness part of American school life but understanding and good relationships with other peo ple will stand your child in good stead all his life. If your child is going to school for the first time you will make the experience * happier one if you prepare him for it. First, acquaint him with the trip itself. Don’t wait until opening day to take your child to school. Take him frequently the safest way. Stop at each comer and say, “Look both ways before crossing the street.” Then let him take you to school! Let him remind you to look both ways at intersec tions. Then he should know ahead of time what school really looks like. One child I know of thought the school room would be like her fa ther’s office and was terrified by so many chairs and tables. Car rying out orders is another experi ence the pre-school child should have. By four he should be going to neighbors on errands, and to a near-by store, and he should be carrying out numerous simple di rections about the house. Then at five and six he is ready for the teacher’s, “Cover the paint jars and put the brushes in water. Now sit in the circle.” Teachers ask that a child be able to give bis full name and address. Have your child repeat after you his complete name and address as he would a nursery rhyme. Do this several .times a day, evfery day. until he says them easily. And it helps a lot if a child can identify his own wraps. Of course, put your child’s name in his rubbers and overshoes. But a child of five should learn to recognize his cloth ing just as you do yours. Bv get ting him repeatedly to identify his wraps and recognize differences in colors, and so forth, you are devel oping his power of observation. Treasurer’s Notice seed. In the case of winter legumes not only should light or poorly drained soils be avoided, but the seed should be well inoculated and planted early on a well prepared seedbed, agronomists say. Unless the soil has had a recent applica tion of lime and superphosphate, one is practically inviting a winter legume failure to begin with. Fanners who have made a success of winter cover crops agree that they must be thoroughly disked j and turned in the spring in ar >le time for the soil to settle bef >re a succeeding crop is planted. ' is usually requires at least L ree weeks. The AAA is again offering in 1945, cash assistance to farmer; in ♦ carrying out a winter cover crops program.
