The other classes are hoping to have elected their new officers by next week. So now, after a week of settling down to work everything seems to be progressing in a fine manner. Margaret Oxner, Reporter. Atlantic City.—The new Miss Am erica, Rosemary La Planche of Los Angeles, doesn’t smoke and doesn’t drink, but she likes her food. She “just loves” thick medium- cooked steaks with mashed potatoes, and she craves to be a motion picture actress on the order of Rosiland Russell. The nation’s new bathing beauty queen, crowned “Miss America, 1941” at the climax of Atlantic City’s annual beauty contest Sunday night, was eating a breakfast of waffles, bacon and milk in her hotel room when interviewed today. “I dlidn’t get to bed until 5:30 this morning on account of posing for newsreels and going to parties,” she confided, “—and gee, did you ever see such big mosquitoes? They’ve been eating me alive.” Miss La Planche said for five years it had been her ambition to be a movie actress and that she had fig ured out a couple of years ago the best way to catapult herself into filmdom was to win the Miss Ameri ca crown. She tried it last year and was awarded second prize. “I worked awfully hard to get back here this year for a second try.” she said. “It meant studying and practicising night and day. And if I hadn’t won the title here this year I was determined to come back again next year.” The new queen ate a heavy meal of least beef, mashed potatoes, peas, corn* milk and raspberry sherbert be fore making her final appearances be fore the judges. She always eats like that, she says, but never exceeds 120 pounds and 24-inch waist meas ure. She also likes to cook spaghet ti. Miss La Planche said she doesn’t have a regular boy friend and doesn't want one—“a career comes first with me; I can get married later.” She did make clear, howev er, that her favorite men are the “blonde, athletic type who like to swim, play tennis or go horseback riding.” She left the University of South ern California six months ago, she said, after two years of majoring in dramatics. Impact of Army Maneuvers Will Be Felt In Newberry Newberry should look like a real “army town” when maneuvers are be gun in October and November. This information comes to "us as a result of an investigation made recently by a representative of the U. S. O. Many thousand® of soldiers will be stationed in the vicinity of Winnsboro and Chester during the maneuvers this fall. It will be impossible for any one town to accommodate so many men during week-ends or re creational periods. Accordingly, the army has requested the United Service Organizations to arrange for distributing the men proportionately among the various small towns of this section. Mr. David Danzig, director of the U. S. O. centers in Columbia was sent to Newberry last week to get the “lay of the land” here. He called at the Chamber of Commerce offices for the purpose of a conference con cerning statistics of the town in re gard to recreational and entertain ment facilities, housing facilities, etc. He was also taken on a tour of the town by Defense Chairman, Ted W. Bremer, following his request to see various spots. He was then re quested to contact Mrs. Herman Wright, Chairman of the Women’s Division of the County Council for National Defense, this group having handled all recreational activities for soldiers here. Mr. Danzig stated that he or another USO representative would return to Newberry in the near future to consult with the ladies con cerning actual recreational activities. A statement was made by Mr. Dan. zig to the effect that during the man euver period Newberrians may see as many as three or four thousand soldiers in the City of Friendly Folks at one time. The men will ac tually be sent to various towns so that congestion will be avoided. Plans are now being made for a large con tingent to come to Newberry during October and November, the months scheduled for the maneuvers. FOR SALE—Wood range in First- Class Condition. A . H.

Industry Solid In Support of Progrm Finance Drive Tribute To Industry, Says Council Leader Memphis, Tenm.—Successful cul mination of the National Cotton Council’s 1941 nickel-a-bale promotion campaign assures the cotton con sumption program of heightened striking power during the year ahead, President Oscar Johnston of the Council said today. The finance plan was declared In effect from the Carolinas to Califor nia when directors of the American Cotton Shipper Association and the American Cotton Manufacturers As sociation reviewed and approved contracts submitted by the Council from firms handling more than ninety percent of the 1940 crop. Successful conclusion of the cam paign was declared by Mr. Johnston to be a tribute in itself to the new unity which has developed within the raw cotton industry since the organization of the Council three years ago. “The fact that cotton will have the greatest promotional fund in its his tory is due to the untiring coopera tion of producers, ginners, ware housemen, merchants, cotton oil mills and cotton spinners.” Mr. John ston said. “With this new war chest we shall be able to carry out a more powerful campaign to maintain cot ton’s position of leadership in estab lished markets and to find new out lets for our lint and seed.” Mr. Johnston said that the indus try’s program for 1942 includes in tensification of current 'advertising and promotional activity, continua tion of the Council's scientific re search program, renewed activity looking towalrdi increased foreign trade, and continuation of the fight on tade barriers and discriminatory legislation against cotton and cotton seed products. “Looking ahead to the return of normal times, the cotton industry is fully aware that any relaxation of efforts to hold cotton consumption at the present high levels would be exceedingly dangerous, if not fatal,” the Council president declared. "For this reason every phase of the indus try is contributing its share toward this renewed and expanded cam paign.” For the remainder of the finance campaign, activity will be devoted principally to winding up the cotton seed contracts calling for three cents per ton on seed, and to signing up the small minority of merchants and mills included in the remaining ten percent of the handlers of lint. It ia anticipated that virtually every handler of seed and lint will be par ticipating in the program by early in September. “BETTER FARM TRAIN” (Continued from Page Two) I J. W. MILLER DIES AT LOWMAN INJURIES FATAL TO COLE CHILD James Howard Cole, three and a half year old son of Mr. and; Mrs. Robert H. Cole of MoLlohon village, died Monday afternoon at Greenwood county hospital from injuries received in an automobile accident Sunday af ternoon. Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon at 1 o’clock from the Eastside Baptist church with the Rev. L. A. Hunnicutt in charge, as sisted by the Rev. J. E. Mitchell. In terment was in the Rosemont ceme tery. Beside® his mother and father, he is survived by one sister, Estelle Cole; two brothers, R. S. Cole and William Melvin Cole, all of Newberry. MT. BETHEL GARMANY SCHOOL OPENED MONDAY The Mt. Bethel Germany school opened Monday morning, September 8, for the 1941-42 session. The teachers elected for the forth coming year are: Mrs. Furman Rea- gin, principal. Mrs. Frank Mills will teach the Primary department. Trustees of the school are B. B. Leightzsey, chairman, George Ruff, secretary and Luther Folk. John William Miller, 86, died at the Lowman home Sunday afternoon after a long illness. Funeral service® were held Tues day afternoon at 4 o’clock (DST) at Mayer Memorial Lutheran church with the Rev. V. L. Fulmer in charge, assisted by the Rev. E. 3. Keisler and the Rev. M. M. Brooks. Interment was in Rosemont cemetery. Surviving are four sons: W. Lee Miller. Miami, Fla.; R. H. Miller, Chester; Frank E. Miller and B. Wal ter Miller, both of Newberry; six daughters, Miss Belle Miller, Mrs. I. S. Davis, Mrs. A. O. Willingham, all of Newberry; Mrs. L. C. Merchant, Sr., and Mrs. L. E. Kempson, both of Columbia; Mrs. W. G. McCord' of Ab beville; one sister, Mrs. Ellen Eargle of Little Mountain, 46 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren. other simple but necessary farm de vice for producing quality hogs are shown. Two three year old sap pine fence posts—one perfectly sound and the other a rotten shell—attract a lot of attention. The good one was treated with zinc chloride 3 year® ago and put in the ground along with the un treated one. it is not known how long the treated one will last, as nons of them have ever rotted yet, while the untreated ones In the tests have rotted and fallen down. A good type Hereford bull is shown, a common cow with calf from such a bull, and a good locally grown feeder steer. "This calf by a good Hereford bull on this common cow is worth more than the cow now,” states J. R. Hawkins, extension beef spe cialist, “and this illustrates how fkst we can improve a common herd by the use of good bulls. Farmers in many sections of the State are doing just this, with a good bull they are building up a grade herdl, and do not have so much invested in their cattle.” A farm milk cooling box greets the eye as we enter the next car. Milk put in it the day before during this hot weather was still sweet. Milk and its products constitute at least 20 per cent of the human diet, and many practical hints and devices are shown that will make it mean more on the average farm. A good average cow is in the next stall. She was from a fairly good cow by an excellent bull. She has produced 2,700 pounds (over 300 gallons) more milk and 100 pounds more butter in 10 months than her mother did, and her sister have done likewise. Thus we see il lustrated very practically the value of a good bull. The first generation from him showed at least 30 per cent improvement. The poultry exhibit shows 20 good hens that ten years of farm records over the state gave an average re turn per year equal to one heavy bale of cotton and the seed, plus over ten dollars. Good breeding, with proper feeding and housing are listed as es sentials for success with poultry. All of these points are illustrated with chart, model, and product. A complete gravity fed syrup plant is shown. The material to put in sy rup to prevent its turning to sugar and permit its cooking enough to avoid souring is there. The cost is neglegihle. The material used in sorghum to prevent sugaring is dias- talic malt syrup, and in sugar cane syrup is invertase. The restoration of the old syrup pitcher is advised as a means of getting syrup back prop erly in the diet, as it contains a lot of iron* calcium, and vitamines of the B complex, all of which are seriously lacking in the average diet according to school and 1 army records.

He has a lot of bee equipment and supplies, and points out that bees will work for you in producing sweets for the farm without wages. The marketing car carries the slogan “Quality Production Fixes Market Price” and sweet potatoes are used to illustrate that marketing is an all-inclusive term. The market, img chain for this crop has as its first link a clean seed bed and clean seed, seed treatment, proper soil, ro tation. vine cuttings, and proper harvesting and storage. All sorts of storage are shown, starting with the ventilated baiok, then the new V bouse, and on thru the Louisiana type curing house of any size. “Better Gardens For Home and National Defense” is the theme of the next car. It illustrates where a half acre. garden is equal to almost three bales of cotton. Insects, dis eases. and irrigation of the garden, is fully covered. Four type® of the lat ter, adaptable to varying farm con ditions. are shown—sub-irrigation, hose, diversion ditch, and the pump from a pond. “Food For Freedom” shows the ventilated pantry with canned, dried and preserved food for one person a year valued at S30.
