D. 6.00 YOU’LL FEEL IT With the beginning of this week, you’ll feel your wallet growing flat ter inasmuch as the new tax bill has gone into effect, and this latest act will dip deeply into your pocket- book. First is the increase in certain postal rates which will net Uncle Sam almost one hundred million dol lars. Additional taxes have been added to movie tickets, telephone bills, furs, cosmetics, jewelry, lug gage, electric light bulbs, whiskey and a number of other.items. All in all, Uncle Sam will squeeze $1,051,- 000,000,000 more out of your pock ets in the way mentioned above. An other billion and a quarter dollars will come from higher income taxes on individual and corporation pro fits. And this is only a “drop in the bucket” as compared with what Roosevelt asked of Congress and didn’t get!—^Exchange. GOVERNMENT BY EXECUTIVE ORDER It is revealing, to say the least, to hear from Minnesota’s U. S. Sen ator Shipstead that, while Congress has enacted 4,553 laws in the last ten years, the President has issued 3,703 Executive Orders. Sponsoring a senate resolution which would authorize a Congres sional review of Executive Orders, the Minnesotan believes it is the duty of the lawmakers elected by the people to “find out about the source of authority and see if we want this situation continued.” Senator Shipstead describes the situation as “bad and dangerous,” and holds that it “could 1 go on un til we had nothing left but Execu tive Orders.” A people who have seen their country grow great and powerful in a system of liberty and self-govern ment—a government of laws, not of men—will weigh the Minnesota Sen ator’s warning when he says: “If you can pass a law by Ex ecutive Order, Congress might as well go home.”—G-eenville Observ er. 1,000 PLANES ON RAIDS IN PACIFIC Hutchinson, Kas., Apr. 27—Arte- mus L. Gates, assistant secretary of the Navy for air, disclosed today that American air forces have ex panded in the Pacific to the point “we have been conducting 1,000- plane raids there.” Here for the graduation of tbe first crew from the Navy’s big new operational base, Gates told a press conference: “I don’t think the public realizes that w-e’ve been having 1,000-plahe raids in the Pacific. The new co ordinated training here is part of the Navy’s expanding offensive. Gates said “we have been build ing up all the time, until now raids in which 1,000 planes are used are not uncommon.’’ He would not elaborate on that point. He emphasized, however, that “the Navy has become a flying Navy” with its planes coordinating closely with the surface fleet and the Army, and described the air plane as the Navy’s “most impor tant weapon.” Home Demonstration Column By Ethel L. Counts May the first is Child Health Day and during the month of May we usually think of the health of the youth. We know that it is necessary for us to stop and think when we realize what war is doing to children. Pictures from war zones of half starred children make us sick at heart an dyet on our streets every day we meet children suffering from incipient malnutrition. Public health officials now face the fact that mal nutrition is a major public health problems which is wide spread and serious. The great trouble with mal nutrition according to Thomas Par- ren, Surgeon General, S. S. Public Health Service, is the fact that like an iceberg, the most dangerous part is hidden. Good nutrition is based upon good food habits. The forces mobilized to take the offensive are agriculture, education, public health, and the family physician all of which must fight side by side on a com mon front. In living up to the club msignia, whose four H’s stand for “head, heart, hand, and health” 4-H club boys and girls work to improve food and health habits by checking them periodically against a 4-H food and health habit guide. They also work for good posture. Better nu trition of the entire population will lead us for along the road to better health, no one doubts that improve ment of the health of the nation will pay dividends in actual dollars and cents. It will also pay dividends in increased well-being and happiness. SALVAGE STORM DAMAGE TIMBER Farmers and landowners who have forest land that was damaged by the storm are urged to make every ef fort to salvage as much as possible, Mr. P. B. Ezell said here today. The farm needs should first be considered. Lumber for repairs and construction of new buildings should have first priority. In some instance where small trees were blown down maybe firewood is all that can be ob tained. Where there is an acreage or amount damaged that in in excess of fatjpi needs every effort should be made to get this material in lumber and pulpwood channels. As the warm weather approaches beetles and insects will get to work fast and if uncut will become a total > loss in a short time, and possibly | damage standing timber. The wind damaged forest products can easily be placed on the market through local pulpwood and lumber dealers, Mr. Ezell concludes. Returning from his day’s toil to his happy little home, father greet ed his family. “What have you all been doing today?” he asked. “I washed the diner things,” said Ann proudly. “And I wiped them!*’ exclaimed Sheila, just as proudly. Father turned to his only son. “And you, John?” “I picked up the pieces,” was the brief reply.—Ex. valuable booklet that '*nalps solve menu problems "CHEESE RECIPES FOR WARTIME MEALS" O Here are 22 excellent recipes bom the Kraft Kitchen ... recipes for main dishes that will be a big help with ration menus.

OP ZOOLOGY FISHES From time immemorial fishes have furnished much of mankind’s food; thousands of sportsmen spend hun dreds of thousands of dollars yearly in recreational fishing; thousands of tons of fish are used each year in manufacture of fertilizers; and mil lions of wigglers which would be come mosquitoes, midges, gnats, etc., are devoured by fishes; commercial fisheries support thousands of fami lies. The importance of fishes to mankind is very great indeed. Our vertebrated (I. E. backboned) animals, fall chiefly into five great groups or classes: fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Of these the birds and fishes each have far more species than the other three combined. Knowing that water cov ers far more than half of the sur face of our earth, may prepare you to understand that there are more species of fishes than there are of birds. If we say that in South Caro lina and adjacent ocean we have about 350 species of birds (a fairly close approximation), then we prob ably have in fresh, brackish, and salt waters of the state about 400 to 450 species of fishes, fishes, however, have not yet been so thoroughly and exhaustively colected and studied as have birds. For convenience, we might consider our fishes as falling into 3 groups: fishes which live (1) exclusively in salt water, (2) exclusively in fresh water, a nd (3) in brackish water or which may at times pass freely from salt to fresh waters. Fishes disreay great differences with regard to shape of body, the number, shape and placing of the fins, shape of tail, nature of mouth, teeth, etc., and all these differences are used by the student in distin guishing the groups and species. While most fishes lay eggs from which the young are hatched, a few hatch the eggs in body of the mother and the young are then born alive. Because of erosion of our soils, saw-mills along small forest streams, because of sewage and other pollu tion, many of our streams have few er fish and less desirable food-fish than they had in former years. Per haps some day we shall come to ap preciate fishes and other water-life, and find means to protect our water sheds and prevent pollution of our streams. Perhaps in these ways we will someday restore some of our natural resources which are now di minishing. WE ARE PROUD of the accomplishments of the textile workers of South Carolina during this war emergency; and of the splendid increased production in war goods which faithfulness and patriotic spirit has made possible. NEVER BEFORE in the history of our industry has there been such a spectacular increase in cotton goods; such a transfer from non-essential to essential products and such a spirit of cooperation be tween employer and employee in throwing all of America’s textile resources into the winning of a war. It is a record to which we may all look back through the years to come with great pride and satisfaction. ESSENTIAL TEXTILES This record has been made possible by our com bined realization that cotton, next to steel is the war’s most essential product and that all textiles have been vital to our cause in supplying our armed forces, our allies, the countries which we have liberated, and essential civilian neces- . sities. From the demands made upon our in dustry by the Quartermaster Corps and by the War Production Board it is clearly apparent that our responsibilities in the war are tremen dous. Furthermore, we are just getting started. We have a long distance yet to go. IN MEETING THIS EMERGENCY the industry needs the continued cooperation of all the people, the workers, management, the farmers, the merchants, the industry all around us, the ministers, the educators, pu'blic officials, in fact every man, woman and child, ESPECIALLY YOU.
