Emphasis has been given to the celebration of ? School Day this year by James H. Hope, state su perintendent of education, who has written the 46 county education superintendents that he hopes “they will again join in embrac ing what I consider a great edu cational opportunity for the chil dren in our entire public schoo. system. . “We all agree," Mr. Hope sale in his letter, “that real education is not derived solely from bookj. No day of regular school can, in my judgment, compare with the offerings of the State Fair, where, in most attractive form, our chil dren have lessons in history, geography, zoology, agriculture, music, art, domestic science, and what-not. With those educational features and a wonderful amuse ment program, Friday — SCHOOL DAY—can be made a RED LET TER DAY in the school year. “I wish you to join me in urg ing all school children, teachers, and superintendents in your coun ty to accept the invitation of the Fair association to be its guests Friday, Oct. 26. You may wish ... to arrange for a general movement to the State Fair via school bus or by private convey ance. I should like to see a great company of children present and enjoying this fair.” With gas rationing and restric tions on the use of school busses eliminated, the greatest crowd since 1942 should be on hand this year. In the years before the war, thousands of children took over the Fair on Friday, coming from every part of the state. It is hoped by Fair officials that this year all records will be broken since many have been unable to get here during the war years.

ROBERT R HARPER t j The Christian VTay of Life. Lesson for October 7: Luke 10:25-37. Memory Selection: Luke 10:27. In this quarter we leave the book of Genesis and go to the New Tes tament for a study of the Christian and his relationships. Today we have the Christian Way of Life, as inferred from the meeting of Jesus and the lawyer who asked what he should do to inherit eternal life. This lawyer, versed in the Mo saic law, did not put the question in sincerity but with the hope of entangling Jesus, making “trial of him.” The Master turned the ques tion on the questioner and made the lawyer answer his own query. “What is written in the law?’’ He asked; “how readest thou?" The lawyer’s answer was a good one. But when Jesus said, “This do, and thou shalt live,’’ the man pretended difficulty in fixing upon the inge and scope of his obliga tion. “And who is my neighbor?*’ he asked. Many are like him today —they readily assent to the truth but failing to measure up to it they claim to find it hard to de termine upon the application of the truth. The story of the Good Samaritan was the answer to the lawyer’s question. That story teaches that a neighbor is the man in need, wheth er he live next door or beyond the sea. The full realization and appli cation of this truth in all human relations would remake the war- wrecked and sorrowing world in a generation. We ourselves can do something toward making things better by dealing with every man in need as our neighbor. 519 Bales Of Cotton Ginned In McCor mick County To September 15tb DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, BUREAU OF THE CENSUS, WASHINGTON. COTTON GINNING REPORT Censvfi report shows that 519 bales of cotton were ginned in McCormick County from the crop of 1945 prior to Sept. 15th as compared with 622 bales for the crop of 1944.

Operating Com munity Dehy dration Plants Fruit and vegetable dehydration in community plants can be suc cessful if the proper equipment is ussd and the food is correctly prepared, according to conclusions of U. S. Department of Agricuture specialists from study of an exten sive test program conducted in Georgia. The specialists advise that the best way to run a community plant is to work out a definite schedule in advance—peas today, carrots tomorrow, corn all next week, for instance. As the proper drying conditions vary on differ ent foods, only one thing can be dried properly at one time. Also only one or two lots can be dried in a day since it takes from four to eight hours to dry each lot. Most of the families who took part in the project consider de hydrated fruits superior to dehy drated vegetables. Many of them thought dehydrated apples, figs, and peaches superior or equal to the canned or sun-dried products. Sweet potatoes, peas, lima beans, okra, squash, snap beans, carrots, and corn had preference rating in the order given as to flavor and as compared with canned products. wm r By ELLIOTT PINE ' Both college and pro football manager* expect record crowds, this season. Big games should pack 'em in to the capacity of the sta dium. Most headline contests ard, already sold out, in fact. It is an ticipated that Notre Dame will play to at least 400,000 this autumn. So will Army, and probably Navy. Michigan, Ohio State and Minnesota will break their previous attend ance records, and Southern Califor nia should fill the municipal stadium to its 100,000 limit at least once.
