MAYBANK TO USE HOME GUARD IF NECESSARY Sheriffs Told to Go Limit In Drive on Prostitutes and Other Bad Actors TWO NEWBERRY GIRLS were sponsors at the Presbyter ian College Military Ball, on March 14. Miss Macie Davis sponsored for Bill King, and Miss Nell Davis spon sored for Hoyt Crenshaw. The Junior and Senior members of the R. O. T. C. with their sponsors performed the Grand March for the evening, under the arch of sabers, formed by the freshman and sophomore members. At the conclusion of the grand March, everything was perfectly still, when someone said “Now’s the time, boys.” The girls who were sponsoring didn’t know what was coming next, but the boys all reached in their pockets and pulled out a little box. In it was a souvenir pin, which each boy pinned on the girl sponsoring him. The pin was a gold military pin of crossed rifles, from which was suspended a gold and mother of peal locket. Atop the locket was the American Eagle. Both Nell, who is employed in Green ville, and Macie, a teacher in Clin ton, reported a grand time at the Ball. SQUARE DANCES ARE still being held each Thursday night at the World War Memorial Columbia, March 24.— Governor Burnet R. Maybank urged South Carolina sheriffs today to "go the limit and drive from South Carolina anyone whom you may even suspect” of causing vice conditions. Speaking at a meeting of sheriffs which he called, the executive said that national defense areas in the state, with huge payrolls suen as are disbursed at Fort Jackson, Camp Croft, the Parris Island marine base, Fort Moultrie and the Charleston navy yard, were attracting organized prostitution and other forms of vice. To Go On .Five Years Maybank asserted that it was “im portant to impress upon the people that this (anti-vice campaign) is not a fly-fcy-night scheme to b*. put in the papers but something to go on for at least the next five years,” the period covered by the selective service act. He told the officers that “if neces sary, I am going to call out three, four or five hundred men” of the new Home Guard—the substitute for the federalized National Guard—“in or der to have law enforcement. I’m not going to have it said that in the hour of need South Carolina failed.” On motion of Sheriff J. E. McTeer of Beaufort, president of the Sher iff’s Association of South Carolina, the sheriffs assured Maybank of their cooperation. Federal Agencies Active The governor cited a telegram from Paul V. McNutt, administrator of the federal security agency, saying that the federal government had “agreed on a vigorous program for the sup pression of prostitution. The United States government insists on vigor ous law enforcement and the elimina tion of segregates areas or any other measures that would condone this most serious menace to the health and morals of military and naval personnel. . . . We rely on local and state law enforcement officials, back ed by public opinion, to accomplish our aims.” Maybank said “many bad actors have come into this section from New York” and other states and as serted that “as time goes on, you will find more of these people” seek ing a share of the payrolls at naval and military sites. Statutes Cover Offenses He and State Health Officer James A. Hayne, who was at his present post during the World war, agreed that existing statutes were “suffi cient” to control the vice conditions. McTeer said sheriffs “appreciate the gravity confronting” counties and declared that “If your orders are that, it is our duty to carry them out.” Sheriffs C. A. Grinnell of Darling ton, Sam M. Henry of Spartanburg, E. Gary Davis of Saluda, T. Alex Heise of Richland and H. H. Jessen of Dorchester said that if the sale of wine could be restricted to liquor stores, vice could be eliminated more thoroughly as strong wine could not then be sold throughout the night. At Jessen’s suggestion, Maybank said he would ask the state tax com mission “in the morning” to exer cise more rigid power to revoke beer licenses of amusement places found to be nuisances. Don’t Realize Necessity Sheriff Floyd S. Douglass of Ches ter said many citizens did not realize the necessity for clamping down on houses of prostitution and other forms of vice. Dr. Hayne said there were 170 clinics in the state for treatment of venereal disease sufferers and re minded the officers that there were laws to force these people to remain isolated in jails or elsewhere until treated.

The project was designed to meet the problems of the PSA in educat ing low-income farm families to acceptance of the minimum clothing standards set up by the FSA, and if successful in the three-state area may be expanded to include the en tire cotton belt, thereby stimulating a vast new outlet for cotton mater ials. The Cotton Council has secured for the FSA sufficient materials to make up 350 sample cotton wardrobes of nine garments each. These gar ments will be made up in sewing classes and will be used by FSA workers in demonstrations in farm homes. A total of 220 counties in Arkansas, Misissippi and Louisiana will be covered * by the project, with individual demonstrations to be con ducted in more than 84,000 homes. The FSA said that government loan allowances include funds which participating families may secure to meet the minimum clothing standards. It is estimated that approximately 2,500 FSA field workers would be available as salesmen for cotton if the project is expanded on a nation wide basis. Virtually all materials used in the kits are heavy cottons in which the amount of lint used in un usually high. Pieliminary work of assembling the garments in sewing room:- is already under way, and actual dem onstration of the clothing kits will begin in the near future. ... , ■ —- Read About This “IMPROVED” FEMININE HYGIENE "Cleanliness” should be the watchword of every girl and woman afflicted by discharge.
