With the speed of drama, the scene changes from the back side e< the desert where Moses was lound in the last lesson to the courts at Egypt, where Moses had been seared—now he comes with the authority of Jehovah to demand of Pharaoh that he let the Israelites go. And God had promised that he would lead his people out of bond* age into the land he had said be would give unto their fathers. After the plagues and the death af the first-born. Pharaoh let the people go. They said it was to wor ship God in the wilderness, but it was farewell forever. It was tip birthnight of the Hebrew nation, ever afterward celebrated in the feast of the Passover. God did not lead them by the di rect route to Canaan. That .would bririg them, as yet poorly armed esid undisciplined, into conflict with (be warlike Philistines. But he led them toward the Red Sea. They bore the bones of Joseph, in obedience to his request, and in token of their belief in their settlement in Canaan. And God went before them in a dood by day and a pillar of fire by night. So may we trust in God's leading, if we would come into our own promised land of spiritual con quest, contentment, and peace.

Weekly Roundup Of OPA Pride And Rationing News STILIa RATIONED!! Sugar Stamp No. 39. valid Jan- uary 1, 1946, expires April 30, 1946. THE VICTORY OVER INFLATION IS STILL TO BE WON!!! Low-Price Furniture Back— Purchasers may expect low and medium priced furniture, largely off the market since 1942, back next spring at substantially less than they are paying for furniture now, E. H. Talbert, OPA District Director in Columbia, announced today. Consumers now pay an average of 29 per cent more for household furniture id March 1942, he said, because low-and medium-price lines virtually disappeared from the market. The return of these price lines, even at a slight rise over their own pre-war levels, will effect a substantial net saving for buyers. Under OPA - absorption - provi sions, decided upon after a series of conferences with the distribu tive trades, retailers and whole salers will absorb the first 12 per cent increase that a manufacturer takes over his “unadjusted'* maxi mum price on low and medium price furniture, Mr. Talbert ex plained. Any excess over this 12 MM EATS MM , IW PRAISES RETONOA Distress From Acid Indiges tion, Sluggish Elimination And Sleeplessness Promptly Relieved, He States. Feels Fine Now. “For the past two years I felt like I was constantly on the down- road, but thanks to Retonga I have snapped out of it and again feel fine," declares Mr. Fred H. Reavis, well-known resident of 900 N. College Street, Charlotte, North Carolina. “My appetite left me and I be gan losing weight,” continued Mr. Reavis. “Everything I ate seemed to sour in my stomach and bring on distress from indigestion. I slept so poorly that mornings I felt as tired as if I had already done a hard day’s work. Consti pation forced me to use laxatives practically all the time and some times there was so much gas in my stomach, it made me feel like I could hardly get enough breath. “Retonga promptly relieved all this distress. My appetite returned and my food digests so well that I have regained several pounds. The sluggish elimination is reliev ed, I sleep fine and feel good even after a hard day’s work. It would be hard to praise Retonga e- nough.” Retonga is intended to relieve distress due to insufficient flow of gastric juces in the stomach, loss of appetite, Vitamin B-l de ficiency and constipation. Accept no substitute. Retonga may be obtained at Peoples Drug Store.— Adv. /? N HER S1E SHOP OPEN We are pleased to announce that we have opened our Shoe Repair Shop in the building on Upper Main Street, next door to the J. R. Corley Store, and will be glad to have you call on us for anything in the shoe repairing line. x ^ LOWES’ SHOE SHOP McCormick, S. C. MILL SUPPLIES PROMPT SERVICE S. DONALD FORTSON CO. N 901 Reynolds St. Augusta, Ga. 30 WAVS RIGHT! P-47 WILL GIVE GENTLE RELIEF TO IRRITATED STOMACHS per cent may be passed on to consumers, he added: however, no increase is allowed manufac turers on their highest price bracket. As a result, Mr. Talbert pointed out, prices on low cost furniture may advance approximately 5 per cent, but prices for medium price furniture—also scarce during the war—should hold to 1942 levels. Tire Care Still l^eqged— Although OPA no longer rations tires, OPA District Director E. H. Talbert urged drivers today to conserve their tires as carefully as they did under rationing. While production has increased enough to end rationing, Mr. Tal bert said, supplies are not yet e- nough for every one to get all the tires he needs. Mr. Talbert pointed out that waiting lists will be long for some time to come and that it is vital for auto and truck owners to continue using every method to make their tires last. Food Stores Regrouped— Food retailers are to determine by January 31st the price group which their stores belong E. H. Talbert, OPA District Director, said today. Some retail food stores may be reclassified because of marked increases or decreases in food sales during 1945, he added. Although most of the retailers will have had so different a gross sales record for 1945 as to change their classifications, those affected have until January 31 to refigure their ceilings, Mr. Talbert ex plained. To refigure ceilings, Uie stores merely apply the mark-ups allowed for the new group to the “net cost” on which their exist ing prices are based, he con tinued. Mr. Talbert pointed out that the four store groups are: Group 1, independent stores with annual gross sales of less than $50,000; Group 2, independent store with annual gross sales of $50,000 but less than $250,000; Group 3, chain Stores with annual gross sales of , $250,000 or more, j All citrus fruits were returned | to price control at 12:01 A.M. Jan uary 4, it was announced by E. H. Talbert, District OPA Director, in Columbia. Some time ago when the supply l appeared to be adequate, OPA temporarily suspended ceiling prices on citrus fruits. OPA’s pres ent action appeared necessary due 1 to sharp increases in most areas in the face of good supplies, added Mr. Talbert. , Used Car Reductions— i (Wool rugs and carpets, a recon- i version product is expected to be I in good supply by early spring, said E. H. Talbert, OPA Director, in Columbia* Maximum ceiling prices to con sumers will be the same as pre vailed in March 1942, Mr. Talbert added. In accordance with' the “roll- , back” provisions of the used car .prices regulation, ceilings for used I passenger cars were reduced four per cent on January 1, OPA Dis trict Director E. H. Talbert, said today. The reduction applies to used cars sold by either dealers or private owners, he added: Under OPA’s price regulation for used cars, ceiling prices are reduced every six months to cover normal depreciation, Mr. Talbert explained. The previous four per cent reduction was effective July 1, 1945. Coal Up— Coal dealers in South Carolina permitted to increase their NOTICE OF ELECTION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick.
