DEFENSIVE PRINTING
IN OUR STATE
(The Anderson Independent)
Defensive tactics in warfare are
no doubt more intricate than offen
sive strategy. ,
The offensive armies limit the
various methods of defense, and so
the defenders must be very clever.
They must employ all sorts of
strategy and tricks in order to out
wit the enemy.
It was not, however, until recent
ly that we learn that printing and
mailing out literature was such an
important strategy in defensive op
erations.
It just goes to show that we live
and learn ... as well as other things.
The others cost less, though.
Take the South Carolina Council
for National Defense a® an example.
It has come to light that during
1941 and 1942, this noble organiza
tion did some highly-specialized .de
fense work.
This group, joined with the Indus
trial Development Committee, col
lected during this period the sum of
$75,000, from the power companies.
Now it appears that in order to be
on the defensive, you have to do a lot
of printing—the first time we have
been told that printing is a secret
weapon. Secret up to now, anyway.
For 40 per cent of the expense in
curred by the two groups in two
years was for that item—^printing.
The total for the period was given
as $29,638.83.
Apparently the literature turned
out was not of the dollar-a-word
variety, for the editorial cost was
listed at $1,250.
Contributions totalled $75,000; the
sxpense was set at $74,823.32. (A
•eserve is set up for two more print
ing jobs.)
A report was given to the House
of Representatives after a resolution
seeking the information had been in
troduced several weeks ago.
William P. Jacobs of Clinton heads
these two organizations.
Oh, yes, about the printing for de
fense—
Mr. Jacobs operates the Jacobs
Press, a printing plant at Clinton.
This is merely mentioned in pass
ing.
HAL’S ADLETS—
EASTER CORSAGES. Conditions
this Easter will limit the number of
corsage orders which we will be able
to fill and unless we can do them
properly we don’t take the orders.
When we book 50 orders we will

fully made Easter corsages which
we are famous for, then don’t delay
making arrangements.
EAST/LK CARDS, lots of them,
they are pretty.
EASTER FLOWERS, cut flowers
and potted plants. Our shop will be
filled with beautiful flowers. It
would be our peasure to have you
call during the week and browse
around.

eye. 20 varieties, priced from 15c
up. Most of the favorites are from
15 to 25c.

Lets WIN this war/
The fc-ig push is on! This is the fateful sum
mer that we have been waiting for. Hitler
knows he must win before another winter
rolls around, or fale inevitable annihilation.
And you can be sure that he will hurl every
thing he has—every gun, plane, soldier and
tank—into the summer struggle that is even
now rising in tempo on every front.
And when the command goes 'out to our
fighting men to ATTACK—you can be sure
they don’t look for excuses. They don’t hesi
tate. They strike fast and hard—as they did
at Guadacanal, in Tunisia and in the skies
over Europe.
NOW the command has come on the home
front to attack! To attack with the dollars
that buy the weapons of war our boys must
have to meet the last desperate assaults of
Hitler. Your government asks you to lend it
1 3 billion dollars during this drive. And this
historic 2nd War Loan Drive, which started
April 12th, is the most urgent appeal Ameri
ca has ever made!
The time is shorts—act now!
When you attack with War Bonds you don’t
suffer pain or anguish—you don’t risk your
limbs or your life as millions of our boys are
doing every day. All you do is make an
investment—the safest in the world. You
help to secure Victory now—and your own
financial security.
During this drive if you are visited by a
volunteer War Bond worker, welcome him.
He will explain the 7 different types of U.S.
Government obligations you may choose
from. But don’t wait for his call—go at once
to your nearest bank or Post Office or place
where they sell War Bonds. And answer the
command to ATTACK by buying more War
Bonds—and still more War Bonds!

“('lean-up, Me i i-up, Fix-up” is th e
slogan for .he farm homes (f New
berry County. Here are some of the
things farm families are putting into
practice and advising their neighbors
to do, also.
Check over all your eqiupinent, put
it in good working order, and keep
it so by better care.
Home sanitation goes hand m hand
with proper nutrition for sound
health. Eat the right food in an in
sect-clean house is excellent adv;ce.
Open doors and windows in spring
and summer invite passing insects to
fly in. Whether an insect “gives jou
the creeps” or not is no guide to
whether that insect is helpful or
harmful. Take the caoe of the spid
er and the fly. for example. You
may snudder when you come upon a
big spider in your house, yet pay no
attention to all the flies buzzing in
the kitchen. But your feelings ought
to be just the other way around, for
most spiders are helpful as they catch
insect pests. On the other hand, the
house fly is always a danger to the
health of the family. Typhoid and
malaria cost more to cure than to
prevent, so screen out the fly and
mosquito. By all means check over
last year’s screens, mend tho^e broken I
places and paint them for longer I
wear. Before painting, it is neces
sary to remove all dust and trash.
Use a stiff brush or whisk broom for
this. Wash screens and lec dry 1 e-
fore painting. Screen paint is thin
and a little goes a long way. If c:d-
inary .paint is used, it should be thin
ned out considerably to avoid clogging
up the mesh. Put it on with a screen
brush. It costs no more than a regu
lar paint brush, and “covers ground”
fast and thoroughly.
Be sure you screen doors are put
on so they will open out. If they
swing in, the flies gathered on the
outside will come in whenever you
open the door.
Another point of attack open to
the enemy, poor health and disease,
is the careless disposal of garbage.
The uncovered garbage pail, brim
ming over, left on the floor where
tiny fingers can dip in and where
flies can swarm and fly off to spread
disease in an open danger. Whatever
kind of garbage' pail you have, you
must cover it for health protection.
Paint has a big part in these days
of conservation. It preserves build
ings and protects them from the
FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1943
weather. If you cannot afford tho
standard paints for that weather
beaten barn, house or roof, try
whitewash or this low-cost paint or
stain. Here are general directions
for mixing: 1 gallon used motor oil
and raw linseed oil in equal parts,
add 4 or 5 pounds of dry Venetian
red or chrome green and stir thor
oughly. The larger the proportion
of used motor oil, the longer the dry
ing period, but the half and half
proportion is very satisfactory. The
amount of color used depends on the
surface of the wood. Try a sample
of the mixture before starting the
paint job.
One gallon of this paint will cover
100 to 300 square ft.—depending on
how absorbent the lumber is. Remem
ber, this formula is for weather-worn
buildings and is particularly good
for old roofs.
Every year many thousand farm
families in South Carolina join the
ranks of “Clean-up, Mend-up, Fix-up
the Farm Home” with the result
that their homes are more sanitary,
more convenient and comfortable and
much more attractive.
