ALLOTS SUGAR FOR CANNING Washington, April 8—OPA decided today to make sugar available to home canners again this year without ration coupon penalties after arrang ing for an extra 200,000 tons of sugar to be imported from Cuba. The sugar deal involving extra shipments was concluded this morn ing, and a few hours later top OPA officials held a special conference and authorized the home canning sugar. Previously, OPA had considered requiring persons who asked for extra canning sugar to surrender eight to twelve points of their can ned goods ration stamps for every extra pound of sugar. Because of the canning and oth er needs, however, there was no in dication that the extra Cuban sugar would affect the ordinary consumer's sugar rations, which is at the rate of about one and one-half pounds per person per week. The procedure for getting canning sugar this year wil be substantially the same as it was last year, whan housewives applied to local ration boards for as much canning sugar as they thought they needed, and the ration boards reviewed each applica tion on its merits. One of the other possible places Abrams Offers Bill Columbia, April 11.—A bill which would place the state’s youth correc tional-educational institutions under supervision separate from the penal board was “based on the theory that ‘teen age boys and girls are not criminals,” Senator Marvin E. Ab rams, of Newberry, one of the meas ure’s authors, said today. The bill would create a five-mem ber governing board—not more than three members could be of one sex- who would supervise the programs for the State Industrial School for Girls, the State Industrial School for Boys and the John G. Richards School for Negro Boys. Supervision is now under the state penal board. “Primary purposes of this pro gram is to salvage and conserve boys and girls who might otherwise be undesirable citizens when they be come adults,” Abrams decalred. “We want to institute an education al training program that will help these youthful offenders against the moral and social laws to develop into useful and happy members of so ciety.” Abrams, chairman of ?. senate in vestigating committee to study the placemen ' of the institutions under separate supervision, said the pro gram was designed to function in co operation with the state welfare board, the state hospital and the state training school “to fit the inmates in the proper educational channels. “This bill is based upon the the ory that these teen-age boys and girls are not criminals and they are not to be considered by the cor rective agencies and ought not to be classified as criminals and placed un der the penal board,” Abrams said. ARMY ACCEPTS MORE BERRY BOYS NEW- Additional men accepted by the v, r»r>A r n P * SS *i, le pl ^ es army from the April contingent in where OPA may allot the extra sa tuo Cuban sugar is to restaurants, hotels and other public eating places that make their own pastries.

GRATITUDE STILL LIVES Some two months or more ago an old negro woman came to the Sun office and asked us to help her fill out an application for sugar given her by the local ration board. We filled it out for her and thought no more about it. Monday the old wo man came to the office with a doz en eggs in payment of the favor we had extended her. We of course told ber to keep the eggs but we got a little boost out of the act on a par- icularly blue Monday. Here was evidence that gratitude has not en tirely vanished from the earth but that it abides most always in hum ble places. PORCH”STREWN WITH COINS Colie Smith, who lives on Pauline street, is somewhat better off finan cially because some drunk forgot where he lived. Mr. and Mrs. Smith who work in local cotton mils went to their work Friday morning, leaving by the back door as usual. Mr. Smith had occa sion to return to the house later in the morning and entered by the front door. On the porch, scattered over a considerable space, was $2.25 in coins, two cigars and a pocket knife. Some drunk evidently thought he was at home and was searching his pockets for his key. Prints of his bands in the dust on the floor show ed he did considerable scrambling around. Mr. Smith has no idea who his visitor was.

Nurses Are Needed •Schools of nursing throughout the country admitted 5,000 more students during the current school year than they did the year before. Yet the to-’ tal is nearly 6,000 less thn the 55,- 000 quota which the nursing profes sion and the government, working jointly, estimated as necessary to meet war needs. How then will the 65,000 new stu dents needed for the coming school year, that begins in June, be recruit ed? Miss Cunnngham, Executve Sec retary of the S. C. State Nursng Council for War Service, posed the questions when she reported that South Carolina is 11 per cent below her quota in student recruitment. Admissions for the period June 1, 1042 to June 1, 1943 number 49,169, according to the Department of Studies of the National League of Nursing Education, which sent out questionnaires to all the 1,300 state accredited schools of nursing in the country. The national total is 89 per cent of the 55,000 goal, while th c South Carolina admissions are 89 per cent of the 600 quota assigned to' it. Eight states reached or passed their quota. They ar e Arkansas, Ida ho, Iowa, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. Other states which reach ed 90 per cent or more of their quota are California, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, and Virginia. “Clearly,” declared Miss Cunning ham, “we need to study the situation and find out why some girls have chosen nursing and others just as, eligible and as badly needed, have not. We here in South Carolina have a plan or heightened spring recruit ment. “Yet there is need, also for better balancing of demands upon woman- power by national authorities. If the health of fighters and war workers depends upon an adequate nursing supply, then young women of the type and education to make good nurses should not be urged to go into industry or other services until we have met the nation’s health needs.” Miss Cunningham pointed out that the Army and Navy Nurse Corps should number 61,000 by the end of 1943. That is more than one nurse out of four from the nation’s total supply of graduate, active nurses, es timated at about 262,000 by next Oc tober. “Filling schools with student nurses is not merely a question of being ready for a possible long-con tinued war,” she said. “In addition, the students give daily care to pa tients during clinical practice work and thus help solve the immediate problems of personnel that civilian hospitals are facing.” “The situation will be bettered,” said Miss Cunningham, “if a student nurse corps, which has been proposed to the War Manpower Commission af ter thoughtful study of the situation is set up.” The plan tentatively provides for distinctive insignia, maintenance and stipends for student nurses, and utili zation—in military and other govern ment hospitals—of the services of some of the seniors. “If the proposal is adopted in its present form,” said Miss Cunning ham, “any student enrolled in a par ticipating school of nursing during the past few months woud be eligi ble to volunteer for such a corps. If financial a id is necessary, a scholar ship may be available from one of the various funds that have been set up. Members of the corps as it is now planned would agree to serve where ver they may be needed for the dura tion of the war and six months there after.” AT THE COUNTY HOSPITAL Born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lom- inack, of Newberry, a son, Wednes day, April 14.
