The world changes, it's true, but there is
something which has withstood the test of
time unchanged—CHRISTMAS.
Here, at least, is something steadfast, some
thing secure, something which binds us to
gether more than any one thing. Christmas,
with its spirit of hope, of peace, and happi
ness will continue indefinitely.
May the spirit that makes Christmas the
greatest day of all days be yours throughout
the coming year.
W. E. Turner, Jeweler
Once again toe welcome the
Christmas season. This year, how
ever. the occasion takes on added
importance because of the trying
times each of us have experienced
since last Christmastime. ''
Gratefully we acknowledge the
courtesies you have extended us
these past twelve months, and we
Know of no better time to express
our appreciation than on this, the
happiest occasion of them all.
May Christmas hold for you and
yours all the good things possible.
Lominick’s Drug Store
The true meaning of Christmas is best
manifest by the cheerful atmosphere and
the friendly associations of those about
us. It.is the time of good fellowship and
the thoughtful consideration of others.
May this happiness be yours to enjoy,
not only at Christmas but during every
day of the coming year.

Clemson, Dec. 17—Conservation of
the soil and more profitable crop
production are being further aided
in South - Carolina through unit test
demonstrations conducted with farm,
ers in cooperation with the Tennessee
Vialley Authority and the Clemson
Ex-tension service, says P. S. Wil
liamson, extension supervisor of this
work.
This work, now in its fifth year
in South Carolina, is based on soil
improvement through use of lime
and superphosphate sponsored bv
TV A.
“Good fertile soils are essential
to a better standard of living be.
cause it takes a good fertile soil to
produce maximum yields,” says Wil
liamson. “Also, soils must be fertile
if the food and feed produced upon
them are to be nutritious. As Wal
ter Locke, noted writer, puts it:
“We have known that poor soil
makes poor crops. We have noticed
that stunted soils make stunted
men. We thought that grass was
grass. But grass can have only what
the soil beneath it gives. Little pot
ash, lime, or phosphorus in the goil
means little potash, lime, or phos
phorus in the grass.’’ 1
Columbia, Dec. 18—South Caroli
na’s eight presidential electors cast
their ballots today for President Roo
sevelt and vice president-elect Harry
Truman.
The state statutes provided that
electors meet here today only to
organize and then reconvene on
January 1 to cast their ballots for

the federal constitution which pro
vides for presidential balloting by

Washington, Dec. 18—The War
department announced today that it
has asked selective service to in
crease the Army’s January and Feb
ruary calls from 60,000 to 80,000.
The department said that since
last July it has asked selective ser
vice for fewer men than the esti
mated requirements. The deficits
were mpde up by combing Army
units to obtain men for field serv
ice.
By this method, the department
said the selective service call had
Ibeen held to 60,000 a month, but
that it is now necessary to step up .'
the calls by 20,000 a month.
It will be determined later, the
department said whether it will be
necessary to continue the 80,000 rate
in March and April. ’
Selective service meantime an
nounced that all men under 30
who had been rejected for military
service since last February 1, ex
cept those with obvious physical de
fects will be reexamined next year.
A selective service official said
the order already in the hands of
local draft boards applied princi
pally to “border line cases.”
