W. Bonnette. S. O. Bouknight, S. L. Britt Rcute 1. M. G. & J. J. Dorn, Inc.. H. G. Sanders, Manager, all of McCormick, and also L. L. Hester and D. J. McAllister of Mt. Car mel, Mrs. Fannie May Parks of Plum Branch, and R. A. Price of Parksville. McCormick has the honor of be ing the first county in South Car olina to have 100 per cent of its corn mills equipped to enrich their products, according to Direc tor of Extension, D. W. Watkins, who is also chairman of the State Nutrition Committee. Each one was visited by the county and home agents before Mr. Ware of Clemson came to discuss the mat ter with them and install the gadgets for feeding the enrich ment material into the products as they are ground. Pellagra and other nutritional ills became increasingly trouble some in the South following ‘ the first world war. That was largely due to the fact that at that time large millers, who supply much of the meal and practically all of the meal and practically all of the >grits to this area, developed a process for (faking the rich germ out of the corn they milled and using it for other things, and let ting only the starchy remains cf the grain go into grits and meal. A few years ago Dr. E. J. Lease cf Clemson developed a simp.e and inexpensive process by which not only the equivalent of the re moved elements could be added to meal and grits at milling time, but additional amounts that made them better human foods than even the whole corn products are. A South Carolina law requires that all degerminated corn meal and grits sold in the state after November 15th be enriched. Most large producers are already enrich ing, according to Dr. Lease. Although the law does not apply to our local mills that do not de- germinate their corn, 106 of them in 33 counties have installed the simple apparatus for enriching and are fortifying their output of meal and grits with the vita- mines and minerals that make them a better food, according to R. E. Ware, Clemson Extension Food Improvement Specialist, who installs the gadgets for the mille that want them and that Clemson makes and furnished at cost. The cost of the materials for enriching a bushel of corn product is about 2 cents, according to Mr. Ware. For grits, it comes in pellet form, that is not soluble in cold water, and therefore not lost In the rins ing process, “The entire state nutrition com mittee feels that this enriching of corn products is a great forward step in the better nourishment of our people”, states D. W. Watkins Local county and home agents can secure the service of Mr. Ware to discuss this matter with local millers and he is available to install the feeders for enriching, where wanted.

Kinard To Head Christmas Seal Campaign On the eve of the most intensive Christmas Seal Campaign in its history, the South Carolina Tu’-*?r- culosis Association today annr- ic ed that Dr. James C. Kinard, r-es- ; dent of Newberry College, v/ill head the drive. The well-known educator *as chosen Honorary Chairman ' he ; 'ir*t peace-time Christmas ^eal Sale in four years, a car* ugn which is confidently expect 1 to -each a new peak in the dri c to stamp out the disease. “Unfortunately, there is f'1 no peace on the tuberculosis f -ent, President Kinard declared. “How ever, the cessation of war gi'^s us an unparalleled opportunity to concentrate our efforts toward exterminating this disease which takes such an alarming toll among our people each year.” In addition to his outstanding T HIS isn’t a guess. A new kind of tire has been developed, and tests show that it out wears prewar passenger car tires. It is made of a new kind of synthetic rubber developed by B. F. Goodrich—different from the ondinsry synthetic rubber in general use by the tire industry. It helps the new tire run cooler—wear better. The new tire has had more than 2,000 laboratory tests. Taxicab fleets, state police departments and the B. F. Goodrich test fleet have run it 16,800,000 test miles. Not only does it give longer tread wear than prewar tires, but it has more resistance to bruising or damage from accident. A new, slightly different shaped tread—we call it the "road level” tread—is another feature that means longer wear. Engineers had wished for I years to make a tread just slightly flatter. But t that more desirable shape always set up strains | in the tire body, or "carcass,” as it is called-4 B. F. Goodrich developed an entirely new and > Stronger cotton cord, designed it into a 35% ; stronger carcass that stands all these strains J and permits the use of the new flatter, longer- j wearing tread. 4 The tread design is new. It is made up of ; hundreds of skid-resisting curves for quicker stops, surer starts—safer driving. In a few weeks these new tires will begin to be produced in large volume, but supplies may be : limited for quite a while. We have placed our order, and hope to have our shipment shortly, j Watch for our announcement. And in the mean- j time, take good care of the tires you have—make them last until you can replace them with * these new, better B. F, Goodrich Silvcxtowng. R. L. FAULKNER McCormick, S. C Phone 49 B.

We know that the new world order must be built on new world-mind ed persons; .that, international trusteeship must be founded on the concept of personal responsi- blity. We must match the sacri fices of war with sacrifices worthy of the peace for which we pray. We must set our faces against the temptation of fear, indifference and disillusionment.” WAKE UP BUSINESS / By Advertising In | / Thi» Newspaper TuS/*/£&£
