STATE TAXES ON PEACE PROGRAM JAPS OFFENDED BY STALIN TALK Surprised At Russian Czar Referring To Nation As ‘Aggressor’ Columbia, Nov. 10—“A study of government and taxation must take into account several factors,” an of ficial of the State Preparedness for Peace commission said here today. “Whether the study be of munici pal, county, state or federal units of government, it must determine what the laws are with regard tc government and taxation: what the practices are; whether practices conform to the laws; where the law and practice diverge, the study must also determine whether the laws, or the practices, are most practical and advantageous to the people. “In order that the dignity and power of the law be maintained, ut is essential that, where practice and law diverge, one or the other be changed. If current practices are for the best interests of the people, the law should be changed i Domei to conform to the practice. If the law is to the best interests of the people, administration of the law should see to it that practice con forms to the law. In the event it should be found that neither law nor practices are to the best inter ests of the people, both should be changed. “In order to bring about a con dition which will maintain conform ity of law and practice in keeping with the best interests of the peo ple of the state, it is essential that the survey of conditions be detailed and accurate. It must be practical and factual.’ San Francisco, Nov. 9—A Japanese broadcast said today that the people of Japan were “surprised and offend ed’ at the address of Premier Josef Stalin calling Japan an “aggressor” nation, and pointed out that while Russo-Japanese national relations are “normal” there is a possibility of change., A Domei (Japanese) News agency Transmission reported by the Fed- e-al communications commission siid that official Tokyo circles were refraining from opinion or com ment on the Stalin address, al though it was a topic of conversa tion in all Japan. Japan has a neutrality pact with Russia expiring a little over five months from now. Japs Called ‘Aggriessor’ The fact that Stalin branded Japan an “aggressor” is “indeed a new factor and may have been the most sensational part of his speech,” the broadcast said. Explaining why the people of Japan were “sur- I prised and offended,” it trotted out the time-worn phrase . that “the i war of greater East Asia is a fight ] to free the peoples of G.E.A. from the imperialism of America and Britain.” “The Soviet Union is a realistic country, so in all prflfbabiliity her foreign policy vis-a-vis her neighbor is not wholly immutable,” said as reported by the FCC. “Conversely, it is naturally expect ed that the foreign policy of Rus sia will change as new situations demand. Consequently, it is the firm belief of the Japanese general public that Japan must also adopt a realistic policy which will confirm with any new situation created by the Russians.” NEW CASES OF FLU IN SOUTH CAROLINA INCREASE Columbia, Nov. 10—Increases in new cases of influenza, malaria, syphillis, lobar pneumonia, scarlet fever and whooping cough for the week ending November 4 compared with previous week were reported to day by the state board of health. The -board said influenza cases increased from 211 to 357, malaria from 122 to 161 and syphillis from 131 to 208 during the past week in 44 of the state’s 46 counties. Charleston reported 50 new cases of syphillis and 45 of influenza, largest number of new cases of the diseases shown in the 44 counties, the board said. Other influenza cases reported were: Anderson 16. Flor ence 18, Greenvilie none, OiVmge- burg 17 and Spartanburg 17 AMERICAN NEGRO TROOPS ADVANCE Rome, Nov. 9—Troops of the 92nd American Negro division today cap tured the Ligurian coastal towns of Basati and Fabbiano, about four miles southeast of Masa, in the only appreciable advance along the Italian front. To the east on the Adriatic sector, Eighth army forces continued their fight to win full possession of the Forli airfield, along the Via Emilia. They drove the Germans to the northern edge of the field after crossing a small canal Resistance wns formidable, headquarters spokes men said. Midway between the Adriatic and Bologna fronts, Polish troops of the Eighth army registered gains on either side, of the Montone river. The town of Dovadola, on the high way linking Florence and Forli, was captured. (Radio Rome, in a broadcast .re ported by CBS, said that Italians had arisen against the Germans in Forli, but no further details were given.) MISS MARY CLAIRE ALSOBROOK WEDS MAJOR TRABERT PRICE Miss Mary Claire Alsobrook, daughter of Mrs. K. B. Alsobrook, of 2116 Dekle Ave., and the late Dr. Alsobrook, will become the bride of Major Charles Trabert Price today at high noon at St. Andrews Episco pal church.

Barnby Leach will officiate. Miss Marie Stress will be the bride’s only attendant, and Capt. Arthur Welling will serve as best man. Mrs. Robert Nunez, Jr., organ ist, will present a short musical pro gram as wedding guests are assemb ling. Miss Alsobrook was born and reared in Tampa and was graduated from Plant High school. She attend ed Florida State College for Women at Tallashasee, where she became a member of Kappa Delta sorority and the Village Vamps. She is one of the three Merrymaker club sponsors this year. Major Price, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson Price, of Newbery, was born in Berkley, Calif., but moved to Newberry in early childhood. He was attending Newberry college at the time of his enlistment in the Army. He received his commission at Max- wll Field, Alabama, in May, 1941, and was overseas for 18 months He has been awarded the Air Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Sol diers’ Medal and the Silver Star. Since February, he' has been station ed at MacDill Field.—Tampa Morn ing Tribune, Thursday, November 9. NORWOOD-DASHER The following wedding invitations have been received by friends of O. G.

JAMES CREIGHTON EDWARDS, son of Lt. and Mrs. Creighton G. Edwards (Emily Davidson Aull) who recently celebrated his first birth day, and spent that day here with his great-grandfather, James .R Davidson, on Calhoun street, who will celebrate his 92nd birthday on December 23 when “Jim” Edwards will be with him again. Home Demonstration By Ethel L. Counts Many a good wash lady slights the job of rinsing and! then wonders why the clothes don’t look clean. Soap left in fabric may make it dingy, yellow or even brownish in streaks and may eventually weaken the fi bers. Ideal for rinsing is an abundant supply of hot soft water, say house hold management specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Tests show that rinse water about as hot as the wash water—115 to 120 F. —removes soap and loosened dirt most easily. Hot water has the ad vantage of softening fabric, opening the weave, and dissolving soap quick ly. In contrast, when clothes go from hot water to a cold rinse, the fabric contracts and may actually hold in some soap and' dirt. Soft water dissolves soap without leaving scum or mineral sediment. But when hot water supplies are short or water is hard, how to get a thorough rinse? Try these meth ods: Just before lifting clothes from wash water, souse each piece up and down quickly. Then wring very dry. The more suds that can be pressed out, the less left to rinse out. If there is not enough hot water for ern section some may confuse it with the darker mafish ,arbbit ami L’n- ; state some may occasionally confuse , it with larger swamp rabbit. I Cottontail is perhaps the leading game animal of this state, as regards time and money spent on it, and in actual value of the meat secured from it; it has been estimated that it represens about $1,000,000.00 to this state annually. It is an item of great interest and some import ance to thousands of growing-up boys and young men. It is easily trapped and easily hunted. A 14 r year boy at Seneca told me that he had trapped more than a hundred in one season which had sold for more than $25.00, and that was quite an item for him. Cottontail does not become tame and cannot be reared and bred under close confinement It seems to like best a varied and broken country, about equally divided between culti vated land, grassland, breshland and forest, and that is about what we have in much of South Carolina, hence we have it in great numbers In its food-hgbits cottontail is somewhat destructive—it feeds on soybeans, clover, lespedeza, peas, snap-beans, etc., among our planted crops, yet is such a favorite for trapping and hunting thah few farm ers would wish it to be eliminated nor even very severely reduced in number. ■ * If the farm boy-trapper wishes to maintain and increase the rabbit pop ulation on his farm, he may keep and kill the males which he traps but release the females. Gullies, swamp areas, ditch and creek banks, ter races, etc, may be left wild and they fuPnish natural cover and encour agement to cottontail at no actual expense to the farmer. He stays close to where he is born and reared, is not inclined to wan der widely, hence any one farm- family may build up its own rabbit population. They build-up rapidly. Cottontail is a nice little game animal—I’m all for him, and hope you are too. Protect him carefully through the closed seasons, so as tp have plenty during the open season. HINTS FOR BETTER FARMING By P. B. Ezell, County Agent In field, orchard, and garden, there are important late fall jobs essential toward better farming, says County Agent P. B. Ezell, who lists the fol lowing brief hints for special atten tion. Agronomy 1. Save seeds now for next year’s planting. 2. Use a liberal amount of complete fertilizer under small grains. 3. Sow enough wheat for a good supply .for home use. 4. Don’t leave any cotton unprotected from weather; it may lose five or ten dollars per bale in value. 5. Destroy at once any remaining cotton stalks. 6. Begin preparing synthetic com post piles. 7. Buy and apply lime stone. 8. Keep all fields green with cover crops this winter, thereby sav ing plant food for next year’s crops Horticulture 1. Prepare land now for setting fruit trees in Novamber and Decem ber. 2 Prune scuppernong type grapes last of November. 3. Make cuttings of grapes and figs and set them out. 4. Set strawberry and raspberry plants. 5. Sow lettuce in coldframe for use in January and February. 6. Plan and prepare for the 1945 garden. Insects and Diseases 1.

Even lukewarm water is better for rinsing than cold water. If the water is hard, a rinse in thin, clean, hot suds helps carry off dirty suds and hard water deposits before the clothes go into clear wa ter. Afte- the soapy rinse, give clothes two or three rinses in clear water until the water shows no trace of soapiness. Clothes must move freely under water to get soan out, so never crowd the rinse tub. small Avoid diseased sweet potato vines where selecting seed. 3. Purchase material for dormant orchard spray and over haul sptfay equiparnemt. 4. Fumi gate weevil-infested grain where practical. 5. Plow under corn stub ble, covering it deeply to control the southern corn stalk borer. 6. Re duce entrance to beehives to two- inch space for the winter months, and feed bees where necessary.

It is also an 1 irtsudance against nutritional trou bles with the laying flock. Italian rye, oats, or barley make a good win- . ter grazing crop. One acre should be provided for each 300 to 500 hens. : Experiments show that chickens on a good grazing crop eat from 10 to 12 per cent less feed than those not on a good range. They show, too, that when hens have access to a grazing crop from 10 to 12 per cent less feed is required for each dozen eggs produced. I Green feed is a fine source of pro teins, minerals, and vitamins. If an abundance of it is supplied and the hens are out in the sun, they are protected against most of the nutri tional troubles that are likely to oc cur. If you do not already have a good crop of Italian rye or oats for your hens, get one in righy away. der these parts now to prevent de lays next spring. 3. Store farm machinery after cleaning and greas ing parts that may rust . CARE OF LIVESTOCK in good flesh by feeding grain lib erally. 3. Keep allnight or morning lights on the laying flocks. If elec tricity is not available, use kerosene lanterns one to each 20-foot sec tion of house. 4. Purchase male birds for next year’s breeding flock.

THIS MESSAGE SPONSORED BY THE S. C. NATIONAL BANK “They were summoned from the hillsides, They were called in from the glen, And our country found them ready At the stirring call for men. Let no tears add to their hardships As the soldiers march along, And although your heart is break ing, Make it sing this cherry song: (Chorus) “Keep the home fires burning, While your hearts are yearning. Though your lads are far away They dream of home. There’s a silver lining Through the dark clouds shining, Turn the dark clouds inside out Till the boys come home. “Overseas there came a pleading ‘Help a nation in distress; | So we gave our glorious laddies, Honor made us do no less; For no gallant sons of freedom To a tyrant’s yoke should bend, And a noble heart must answer To the sacred call of friend.” COTTON GINNING REPORT Census report shows that 12,795 bales of cotton were ginned in New berry county from the crop of 1944 prior to Nov. 1 as compared with 12,562 bales for the crop of 1943. By W. A. RIDGEWAY Assistant County Agent For the proper care of livestock in the late fall Assistant County Agent W. A. Ridgeway calls the attention of Newberry county farmers to these reminders: Animal Husbandry 1. Breed sows for spring litters. 2. Have all weanling pigs double- treated for cholera. 3. To prevent the beef herd losing the weight gain ed on pasture, supply cheap rough- age and a little cottonseed meal. 4. Fatten a beef animal to be slaughter ed later for home use. 5. Remove the ram from the ewe flock. 6. Feed idle mules ample roughage and give only half ration of concentrates. 7. See that all livestock have shelter and bedding during cold rainy wea ther. Dairying 1. Increase barn feeding. 2. Feed cow according to production to make most use of short supplies of con centrate grain rations. 3. Hold grain rations to as nearly 16 per cent di gestible protein as possible. 4. Feed roughages liberally. 5. It is not too late to plant winter grazing. Poultry T.
