FRIDAY. DECEMBER 19, 1941, H-D COLUMN By ETHEL L. COUNTS Ev^ry day more and more things happen to impress upon us the need of an adequate amount of food. The food that an individual eats affects his health, strength, nervous condi tion, morale and mental functions. It is of paramount importance to the normal growth, development and health of children. To neglect this aspect of defense is as hazardous as to neglect military preparedness and yet every day we meet up with people with tears in their voices and who are ready to wring their hands but have not planted a garden. The trouble with many of us is that we dispise small things (such as plant ing a garden) and are not willing to do the things that we can do. Let’s be up and doing—there is a job for all, both young and old— plant food—varieties of food—and use it. Remember that nearly half of our boys were found deficient, so that means that we at home have not had what we should either. Let’s get ready for any and every emergency —do not put off until tomorrow what you can do now—act today. At Christmas time we are apt to eat too many rich foods and as a re- COUNTY’S 4-H DRESS REVUE WINNERS; TO RECEIVE MEDALS V COTTON QUIZ Announcement is made by Home Demonstration Agent Miss Ethel Counts that the winners of the County 4-H Dress Revue are: Hazel Rallentine, Route 3, Newber ry, S.

Roy Summer Washington, Dec. 11.—Despite a valiant fight by South Carolina’s senators and congressmen to bring about legislation providing outright grants to drouth-stricken farmers, indications are the Smith-Fufmer bill, authorizing approximately $66,- 000,000 to finance such a program, will never reach the house floor. The legislation’s doom was appar ently sealed today when Rules Com mittee Chairman Adolph Sabath of Illinois declined to submit to his fellow members a proposal that a rule be granted permitting consid eration by the house. His decision followed appearance before the com mittee of the Palmetto state’s con gressmen, who, with Representative Hampton P. Fulmer, chairman of the house agriculture committee, as spokesman, requested rules commit tee action on the measure, previously reported by the Fulmer committee. Mr. Sabath’s refusal to permit ac tion by his committee was not be cause of any desire on his part to kill the bill. It was rather due to a feeling that a vote by his committee would be unfavorable. Obviously he knew his position was well taken, for majorities in both the rules com mittee and the house apparently feel that the Smith-Fulmer bill is not the proper manner in which to handle re lief to farmers suffering from crop failures. Provide Federal Grants As finally reported by both the bouse and senate agricultural com mittees, the legislation would pro vide federal grants to cotton farmers whose production was less than 60 per cent of normal during the 1941 season. Such payments would amount to the difference between actual 1941 yield and a 60 per cent crop, multiplied by the parity price, set at about sixteen cents per pound. Rules committee bearings today revealed that some members of the house agriculture committee who voted with Representative Fulmer ■ to report the relief measure did so i more in a desire to follow their , chairman than because of personal beliefs that the legislation is the proper method of handling the prob lem. Most of those included in the opnosition to the bill believe that the onoblem is strictly one of relief and should be handled by existing relief agencies. They point out that the farm se curity administration recently re sponded to the request of Senator Burnet R. Maybank and the congres sional delegation and earmarked $1,- 125.000 for grants to approximately 25,000 farm families facing destitu tion because of 1941 crop failures. Liberal Loans Offered Admitting that the FSA will not reach farmers in the landlord class they further cite that Governor A. G. Black, of the farm credit admin istration, has notified all federal farm credit agencies in South Caro- Kna, including production credit as sociations, seen loan offices, banks for cooperatives and federal land hanks, that a liberal policy has been adopted toward loan payments and concerning new loans, and that farmers, with good credit records who demonstrate the proper attitude should be shown every possible con sideration in working out their prob lems. Senator Smith, who heads the Ag riculture committee, of the upper body, found sentiment in the sen ate on par with that in the house when he attempted earlier in the week to bring the measure up for consideration. Senator Charles L. McNary, of Oregon, Republican floor leader, raised objection and the bill was returned to the committee, where Senator Smith hopes to revise it to meet the minority leader’s ob jections. On a voice vote concerning Imme diate consideration of the measure, only three—Senators Smith, May- bank, and Elmer Thomas, of Okla homa—voted in favor of quick action. Barnwell Representative Seeks Job On S. C. Public Service Commission Barnwell Man is in Race for S. Public Service Commission Representative Winchester Smith, chairman of the house’s ways and means committee is a candidate for the South Carolina Public Service commission. Mr. Smith, has telegraphed vari- our lawmakers, to teli them of his candidacy. The incumbent, John B. McMillan of Ulmers, is offering for reelect ion. Barnwell is scheduled to lose one of its two house members, as result of the reapportionment due in 1942 on the basis of the 1940 census. Since Mr. Smith is chairman of the house’s most important committee and the other Barnwell representa tive, Sol Blatt, is speaker of the house, the question of what happens to the Barnwell member who leaves the house is one of statewide interest. The election will be by the 1942 general assembly. Fort Bragg, N. C., Dec. 13. — El don W. Pidgen, Jr., who tried hard to be a good soldier—and who suc ceeded until army officials discover ed his real age—tonight began his last week-end as a member of Uncle Sam’s army at Fort Bragg. For, although Pidgen performed all of his duties to the complete satisfac tion of superiors, and while his par ents have no objection to his con tinued service in the army, regula tions . must be observed, officials said. So, young Pidgen—who by the way is only fourteen years old—will be given an honorable dscharge at ceremonies next Tuesday. Despite his lack of years, Eldon succeeded at being “a good soldier” through nine weeks of training at Camp Bkmdlng, Fla., and in the tough daily grind 1 in the Carolina maneuver area. It was when an appendectomy became necessary, however, that authorities discovered his tender age. Said Eldon’s father, in Waycross, Ga., w^-ere the boy enlisted: “He did so want to serve in the army. And tiis mother and I ap proved his enlistment, and now that there is a war, we particularly hop ed he would be able to continue to serve his country.” Well, officala said, Eldon will prob ably have a chance to serve his coun try as a civilian, but be can’t be al lowed to see military service yet for some years. In fact, officials agreed, young Eldon has already served his coun try—and served well—by setting an example in patriotism which others, and older youth might follow. m REV. J. M.
