Send to Na tional Cotton Council, Box 18, Memphis, Tenn. Columbia, Dec. 10.—The South Car olina Bankers association set out to day to make a “live-at-home” pro gram a desirable requisite for a far mer to obtain a bank loan. In a statement sent to all banks and depositories in the state, the associa tion’s agriculture committee said that the development and adoption of a farm program by the individual banks “probably has the greatest potentia lities for widespread good” because of “the influential position of a credi tor in relation with a borrower.” It said that “other than farmers, no class of borrower is allowed bank credit without close scrutiny of his method of operation. “Of the many requisites to suc cessful farm management, probably the only one which is always investi gated is the record of the cash «»rop. Most helpful suggestions for a farm program upon which credit should be extended can be obtained from the program of the county planning com mittee. 2 Sad Commentaries It cited “two sad commentaries on South Carolina: “1. That in a state in which prac tically all foodstuffs will grow, a large proportion of our farm citi zenry suffers from malnutrition, the result of a completely unbalanced diet, and “2. That where there formerly was an abundance of timber, now some farms are actually without sufficient wood to provide for heat require ments.” The committee told the bankers that "while the corrections of these two deficiencies can have little ef fect on the short - range view of your loans, the eventual welfare of your community may hinge around them. Movements are already afoot in all counties to correct these situ ations. Ask your county about them and decide upon the best way in which to include them in your farm program.” Dairy Bulls Bought Some bankers it said, “have ma terially helped their communities by the purchase of good dairy bulls- which are given to the county agents to be used in different sections of the county. There is certainly a great need for this type of work in South Carolina where only 50 percent of the farm homes have a milch cow. David Doar of Orangeburg is chair man of the committee. Other mem bers are J. L. Campbell of Spartan- Burg; T. B. Clyburn of Kershaw; R. L. Ramey of Ware Shoals; A. E. Schilletter, of Clemson and D. L. Taylor of Kingstree.

In commenting on the resolution, the commission—composed of Sam B. Pratt. .Tr., Cole L. Blease, and A. J. Hatfield—explained that the unem ployment compensation department of this state is in fact a defense agency in that it is affiliated with the federal bureau of employment security which has been officially des ignated as a nation defense agency. The nationwide system of state em- nlovment service offices, including those in this state operated by the unemployment compensation commis sion, has the tremendous task of loc ating labor needed for the various proiects in connection with national defense. The resolution adopted by the com mission Thursday, reaffirming the position it took in a resolution adopt ed .Tulv 2, is in full as follows: Whereas, the commission snbse- nuent to that date did pass a rule pro viding that all employes of this com mission who are called to the colors be paid in addition to their accumu lated annual leave an additional months’ compensation, and, Whereas, subsequent to that date, seven employes of this commission have been ..ailed into military andlor naval service, the commission grant ing leaves of absence for a year without pay, and Whereas, the commission has granted to three employes twelve months’ leave of absence without pay, in order that they might enter into positions vital to the national de fense, therefore, “Be It Resolved, by this commis sion, that it hereby reaffirms its pol icy of cooperation with any and all departments of the State and Fed eral Govemiments connected with the national defense program and does hereby instruct and order the Exe cutive Director of this commission to keep the practice of such policy in effect.” PLIGHT OF THE JEWS When the tragedy of these times is written, the persecution of the Jewish people in Europe will form the foulest blot on the record. In every country that has been overrun by the military banditti, the Jew has been the first to suffer the horrors of the mailed fist. It is hard for Americans to understand why this defenseless people should be the vic tims of gangster rage. Yet it is the same sad story that comes from all the conquered European countries. A recent newspaper summary of living conditions that have been Im posed upon the Jews in these coun tries makes dismal reading. In Poland particularly the German military has contrived the most devilish scourges with which to torment these hapless people. Deprived of the right to work to go about the streets, and even forbidden to ask for aid, their plight is pitiable indeed. To make matters still worse, the Germans have built a high concrete wall around 200 blocks in the city of Warsaw and into th’s congested area the Jews have been herded like cattle and forbidden to leave under threat of severe punish ment. It is the infamous ghetto of czarist Russia days all over again. Several agencies are striving to mitigate the sufferings of the people, but their humane task is hampered at almost every step by the Germans and their henchmen. The fiends who are persecuting this people seem bent on their ultimate destruction. Their only hope xft permanent relief is in a British victory—a victory over the cowardly wretches who have made Europe a literal hell for the Jews. CHRISTMAS MEETING OF MUS’C CLUB Mrs. Clem I. Youmans, Misses Til- la West and Marguerite Bums and Gus Houseal were hostesses and host at the Christmas meeting of the Newberry Music Club. Milton Moore was in charge of the program on "Christmas Carols.” Mr. Moore called on members of the club to compose duets, trios, and quartets or the club as a whole to sing the Christmas carols. During the business meeting plans were discussed to have a muslcale next year during music wee kin May. The club successfully presented^ the “Life of Stephen Foster” last year. A committee was named to make further plans on that line. After the business meeting, a so cial hour was held, at which time the hostesses served most attractive re freshments. Fruit cake and coffee, cheese straws tied with Christmas bows, red mints arranged with a spray of green and white mistletoe were the refreshments enjoyed by all. The meeting was held at the love ly new home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fellers on Harper street. A Christ mas motif was carried out with hollv, spruce pine, and wild red berries. In the windows of the Fellers’ home were Christmas candles burning in candlebra. BAPTISTS BACKING DRYS’ CAMPAIGN Program Planning Meeting if Broth erhood Held at (Colnmbia Columbia, Dec. 10.—The Annual program planning meeting of the Baptist Brotherhood in South Caro lina endorsed today without dissent a campaign to return South Carolina to prohibition.

TWO GERMAV omn-q HANGED BY BRITISH London, Dec. 10.—Britain hanged two German spies from the gallows in eloomv. century-old Pentonville prison today in her first execution for espionage in this war. The two Nazis, twenty-five-vear- old Jose Waldherg, and twenty-four- year-old Karl Meier, were convicted under the treachery act November 22 in a civil trial at the central criminal court. Its penalty is death by hang ing. Had, thev been convicted by a court martial, they would have died be fore a firing squad. The charge was that thev had erect ed a radio transmitter by night in secluded spots in the countryside. The court was told that their apparatus— entirely of German manufacture— was extraordinary light, being car ried in two black bags like camera cases, and could be adiusted to «end on different wavelengths. The official announcement said the men had been led to believe they would be relieved shrotly by invading German troops. Walclberg, it said, was a German citizen bom in Mainz, but Meier was a Dutch subject of German orig in bora at Koblenz. It said they came to England plentifully supplied with money, ap parently under instructions to pick up whatever military information they could by posing as refugees from German-occupied territory. They were arrested after their arrival in England, the announcement said. HOUSEALS IN HOSPITAL'ZATION BIG FOUR IN GROUP Peculiar coincidences occur in the experience of the Houseals of Hamp ton street in Columbia when four members of the family are being treated for illness, namely: Edward B. Houseal is convalescing from an appendectomy at the Columbia hos pital a week ago and is expected to return home Friday. During the same time, the secretary of his father, Edward B. Houseal, Sr., ad vertising manager of The Detroit News, informed the family in Colum bia that the management of The News had not advised him of his son’s illness, an account of which had been sent him, because be was being treated in a hospital in Detroit for a slight concussion as a result of a traffic accident of which he was the innocent victim, and that Mr. Houseal would be in the hospital only for several days, being expected to return to his office Monday. Likewise the father and grandfather, respec tively, in the category, is improving at his home from a foot injury, only within the last ten hays having fully recovered from a severely sprained knee of the other leg, the result of an accidental fall on the pavement in the city. The first member of the family to suffer an Injury was the daughter, Miss Vera Houseal, who Is regaining use of her right arm which was broken at the wrist, the result of an accidental fall at the home nine weeks ago.
