COPS TO GET NEW UNIFORMS
The town police force are soon to
don new summer uniforms. The uni
forms are to be bought this year on
bid and each merchant in town is to
have an equal opportunity for the
busienss. This is the way the town’s
business should be done. It is fair to
the merchants and will no doubt
mean a saving to the taxpayers. This
is another step of the present ad

and economical policy in purchases.

The House That Cotton Built
Almost overnight scores of concrete defense homes are rising at
Falls Church, Va. The rapidity of construction of these houses can
be attributed largely to the ingenious use of cotton and rubber, the
National Cotton Council and Cotton-Textile Institute report. Room
sized rubberized cotton ballon sections are inflated and sprayed with
concrete When the concrete hardens the balloon is removed and the
concrete shell is covered with insulating material and an outer layer
of concrete Defense housing officials say that using four balloon
sections, they can erect ICO houses in 60 days and 200 in 90 days.
Above, workmen dust balloon with a compound to prevent concrete
from sticking to it, and below, is shown a finished house. The house
has two bedrooms living room, kitchen, bath, entrance hall and ample
closet space.

Proclaims Employment Week
The period May 3-9 has been pro
claimed by Governor R. M. Jefferies
as Employment Week in South Caro
lina. The state’s chief executive is
seen above signing the proclamation
while Carl H. Hart of York, chair
man of the American Legion’s Em
ployment Committee in South Caro
lina, looks on. The Legion is spon
soring the observance in South Caro
lina.
In his proclamation the governor
emphasizes the employment of the
“Worker Over Forty,” including
War veterans, so that many of the
younger men may be relieved from
their jobs to enter active duty in the
armed forces, and calls on all people
of the state to make the fullest pos
sible use of the local offices of the
United States Employment Service.
The governor’s proclamation on
the subject follows:
Whereas, complete mobilization of
labor is considered essential to sur
pass the production of the enemy,
and
Whereas, there is a vast source of
labor availably among the older
workers, including war veterans, who
have heretofore been refused employ
ment by industry because of age and
Whereas, many of these older work
ers possess skills which are essential
in the expanding program of pro
duction, and
Whereas, there are training facili
ties available through the State and
Federal government to properly pre
pare, through refresher courses and
primary training, this overage group,
and
Whereas, employers of the State
would find it highly advantageous to
use the facilities of the United States
Employment Service and are urged
to call their local office of this Ser
vice when they need workers, and
Whereas, the younger workers
who ar now employed in industry
will be required for the armed forces,
and
Whereas, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt has previously proclaimed
the observance of National Employ
ment Week,
Now, therefore, I, R. M. Jefferies,
Governor of South Carolina, do here
by proclaim the week beginning May
3 as National Employment Week and
Sunday, May 3, as National Em
ployment Sunday, and urge all em
ployers, citizens, civic, religious and
other organizations to make a spe
cial effort to have everyone regis
ter with the United States Employ-
mnt Service who is possessed of skill
ed qualifications or who desires
training for skilled or semi-skilled
jobs in war industries.
