IDA LUPINO — WILLIAM PRINCE SYDNEY GREENSTREET The year’s biggest comedy hit "PILLOwSrO POST” Plus: LATEST NEWS Also: NEW COMEDY ft ggaf; |j n ujnyg Lespedeza is a crop that all farmers of McCormick County are familiar with. It is known as a soil builder and as a hay crop. Re gardless of < how many acres we have in.: McCormick County we will always have a few more acres that should have it. NOW is the time to seed les- pejleza. The most common prac tice is to seed lespedeza on small grain in March. This can be done by broadcasting at the rate of 35 to 45 lbs. per acre on the small grain and running a drag harrow with teeth sloping backward over the' grain. Lespedeza, like most legumes, likes a fairly sweet soil. On most of our McCormick soils at least a ton of lime will give good results. Since lespedeza uses lots of phos phorus and potash, 300 to 400 lbs. of 0-12-12 fertilizer pier acre will pay. The lime may be applied prior to planting. The fertilizer should be applied at planting or, on lespedeza following small grain, when the lespedeza is well estab lished. BELK’S Notice!

OX? and water” always have O been cheap to the American housewife and she seldom has considered saving either of them. In the bathroom, in the laundry, for dish washing and for general cleaning she uses soap lavishly. With most types of soap .neith er plentiful nor cheap each mem ber of the household should learn to save soap wherever it’s pos sible. By merely avoiding waste .—\ the over-all sav ing in a year’s time will mean much to the housekeeping budget. Buy soap wise ly. Remember that pr$ce doesn’t always determine the quality. Use the kind best suited to your own particular needs. Manufac turers make “hard water” soap, bath soap and face soap, each fulfilling a definite purpose. It’s a good idea to keep a supply of soap ahead. Well “aged” soap lasts longer, whether it be laundry or toi let soap. Remove the wrap pers and store it away in a dry place for several weeks before using. It’s important, too, to choose the right soap for the job to be done. Heavy laun dry requires a different type of soap than woolens and del icate fabrics. •’Hard” water is the prime soap consumer. The water gets scummy, bathtubs and wash bowls get stubborn rings and it takes lots of soap to make a suds. The best answer to this problem is the use Of a water softener. Washing soda, borax, tri-sodium phosphate or one of the commercial water softeners will soften the water so that a small amount of soap will do the work. If you use a branded softener follow the directions on the package and measure the softening agent. If you use washing soda or borax add about one tea- spooafnl to each two gaflons of water, but measure it, too, and avoid wasting the soft ener. Let it stand for live or’ ten minutes until the soft ener has had time to reset, • then skim off the lime “curds” that have formed and you will find that you have soft water. Crop Insurance is again avail able to cotton farmers in 1946. See the County Agent, County Com- mitteejnen, Community Commit teeman or County Administrative Officer about your premium rate, and yield for your farm. Cows on pasture are well fed only if the pasture is well fed. Real “pay dirt” is what the farmer gets for honest soil build ing. “The soil is the foundation of the farm family's living. How well you treat it. Your soil is your bank account. Build it up.” Even easier credit, cheaper transportation, and better mar keting will not save the inefficient farmer who produces at too great cost. X SRA And UC Claimants Get $979,845 'in January Servicemen’s readjustment al lowances and unemployment com pensation benefits totaling $979,- 845 were paid out by the South Carolina Unemployment Compen sation Commission during Janu ary, a statement released by the agency today revealed. Servicemen’s readjustment al lowances amounted to $847,140, leaving only $132,705 that were paid from the state unemploy ment compensation fund. The compilation showed that ^7.3 per cent of the 20,082 unem ployment compensation conti ued claims received In South . Car ina were of the interstate type, J hat is, filed against other c tes. Twenty-three and nine-ten^ b? per cent of the 3,478 initial r rfis were against other state- The great percentage of in' "’-•^.ate claims, it was explained was largely the result of the re i to this state of war workers dLr laced since V-J Day. Initial unemployment compen sation claims increased 67.7 per cent from December to January, whereas the average January check paid out under the service men’s readjustment allowance pro gram was 19.93. Altogether 42,500 allowance checks went to veterans during the month. Ordinarily un employed veterans receive a maxi mum of 4 to. 5 checks a month. During the .week ending January 26 only 9,122 veterans were paid readjustment allowances, or 8 per cent of the 113,849 veterans who have been discharged from the service as of January 24. In addition to its state unem ployment compensation program, the Commission administers Title V of the Servicemen’s Readjust ment Act in South Carolina. The agency is reimbursed by the Vet erans Administration for all funds paid out under the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act. X Social Security Board Helps Workers To Obtain Their Full Benefit Rights JES’ SWING IT NATCHEL, SONNY” .6- mt* m tou*'a.u E co‘- OT \ r;!*?,■;■ VVh ^ ncx« \ i ‘*%4 yBi, j f ? r * • •; * / r The Social Security Board is of fering its full cooperation to work ers and former workers who have reached the age of 65 in an effort to help them avoid any loss of benefits through delay in filing claims, it was announced today by Miss Martha F. Pressly, manager of the Board’s office at Green wood, S. C. ‘'Any person who has. worked enough in private industry and commerce to be insured under the old-age and survivors insurance program can file a claim at age 65 to peg his benefits at fe point below which they cannot tfall,” Miss Pressly said. “Then, if he keeps on working, or if he gets a new job, and his wage record would produce higher benefits at a later date, he may file a request to have his benefit recalculated to give him the higher rate.” Miss Pressly pointed out that tier office has been urging work ers for some time to confer with the Social Security Board officials upon reaching age 65, in order to protect full benefit rights. “A great many workers have done just that,” Miss Pressly said, ‘but many have not. They have been under the impression that once a claim was filed, the bene fit could not be changed even hough subsequent work might produce a higher potential bene fit figure. “That was true for a time, but ast year the Board inaugurated method of recalculation which will keep benefits from going down, once a claim is filed, but will not keep them from going up. If workers and former workers in private industry and ' commerce, who have passed the age of 65, will ust come in to see us, we will give them the information and help necessary to protect their full benefit rights.” Miss Pressly pointed out that her statement does not mean that a person can draw benefits while working in jobs covered by the Social Security Act. The law, she explained, provides that benefits tiiizcv ; tor tro^w^Wrc , theto. ^ your -»* i(ration. j ^ ii .iOVn 1 ! on . jbhg&tion tn&ir- ^utdoil uov NATCHEL NIT IS JES’ NATCH ELLY GOOD!

To prevent confusion and mis understanding, Miss Pressly issued die following cautions: 1. Increased benefits, once a daim is filed, can result only from additional work in covered ern- oloyment. Generally this addi tional employment must be at pay qual to or above the past aver age monthly wage. 2. Benefits will be recalculated only upon request. It is impor tant, therefore, that the benefici ary get in touch with the Social Security Board field office when ever he quits working in covered mployment; or, even though i" 1 is still working, whenever his 4 ~*al aav begins to go down as r re sult of reduced working b ’ ,r s, 'ower pay rate, lost time, any other reason.
