Maybe not, but we bumped into a sight the other day which had all the appearance of being as new as a freshly hatched chick. We were rambling around just across the river in Georgia and stopped at a country store for a cold drink and to casually inquire if there happened to be any black market fatback on the premises. After disposing of the drink, we moved towara the rear of the store preparatory to inquiring about the fatback. The place had a back door. We looked out, and there under a shade tree a few yards away was a fellow toiling at the crank of an old fashioned ice cream freezer. It was one of those five gallon jobs such as drug stores used years ago, the only difference being that the chum proper was revolving inside a metal barrel rather than a wood en one. And packed around the churn instead of ice were red hot coals. The fellow operating the contrap tion evidently saw amazement tamped cn our face. He grinned and said, “Making Brunswick stew.” We started asking questions, and the Georgian explained that he dis covered this method of manufac turing stew back in 1934. Every Saturday he turned out five gal lons at noon and another five late in the afternoon, for the benefit of hungry natives, who paid for it at the rate of twenty-five cents for a generous helping. “The dasher in the churn brings about even cooking,” the fellow ex plained. “At the same time,” he continued, “it breaks up the pota toes and carrots and tomatoes and onions and meat, turning out some thing that looks more like well- cooked barbeque hash than Bruns wick stew.” We would have hung around and sampled a bait of the stuff had not a traveling companion informed us that plenty of fatback was available five miles up the road at 50 cents a pound. CAROLINA COWS WIN The state 4-H dairy judging team from Greenwood county placed ninth in the all-breed judging con test at the All-American Junior Jersey Exposition at Columbus, Ohio, October 7-12. Competing with 20 other state judging teams, the South Carolina group, composed of Charles Sper ry, Thomas Lumley, Iris Wanda Miller, and Guilda Templeton, made a score of 2707 out of a possible 3300 in a contest where as few as three points separated the placings of teams. In the Junior Jersey cattle show, the South Carolina herd of five Jersey animals owned by junior members made a creditable show ing, winning twelfth money in this class in which 21 state herds were exhibited. The animals in the state herd, in addition to the other two junior Jerseys exhibited from South Caro lina, were also shown in individual classes where an average of 44 animals was shown in every class. Six of the seven animals shown from South Carolina won prizes, Thomas Garvin’s Duke Favorite Lassie winning twelfth in the class for cows four years old and over. Ward Crim, Jersey breeder of Spartanburg County, sold a Jersey cow at the exposition sale for $2,- 050; Ed Young of Laurens county sold a cow and calf for $875; and C. B. Parr of Newberry sold a cow for $800. The Greenwood County Jersey club this year sponsored junior participation in local, state, and national contests, and President G. E. Hawkins reports that the clul\ is well pleased with Greenwood’s ac complishments. Other counties represented by junior members and their animals at the show were Newberry, with one animal owned by William Parr; Greenville, with one animal owned by Donald Riddle; and Edgefield, with one animal owned by Carl Harris. COMMITTEE REPORTS FAIR GROUNDS WILL BE CLEAR FOR EXHIBITORS FAIR WEEK It has come to our attention that some of our friends and exhibitors think that the Circus will inter fere with our fair.

American Legion Post No. 24 Committee: Chalmers Brown, Chm., * Frank Sutton, Secty. Plans for Big Chris Lmas Doings The Merchants Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, have ap pointed Gerald Paysinger general chairman, and set up a number cf committees to make plans for one of the best Santa Claus Parades and Christmas Decorations that we have had for some time. Notices have been sent out to all the white schools of the county, requesting them to participate by entering floats or units in the San ta Claus Parade. A special committee will contact merchants, industries, and organi zations about entering floats >n the parade. The Finance Committee will con tact all the merchants between the 21st and the 23rd. The various committees are plan ning to have a big Santa Claus Pa rade, some street lights, loud speak er for Christmas carols, candy for Santa Claus to distribute and sub stantial prizes for the parade. As the cost of the above will be con siderable, the merchants are re quested to make generous contribu tions when approached by the committee. The Finance Committee is com posed of Jimmy Wiseman, chair man, Gordon Clarkson, co-chair man, Dr. Jimmy Burgess, Earl Summer, E- B. Purcell, Earl Scott, James Henry Davis, Ellerbe Sease, Theo Albrecht, John Lindsay, J. D. Rook, O. M. Cobb, R. L. Baker, J. N. Beard, J. H. Clary, Jr., Rob ert Hill, and W. E. Turner. Jobless Payments Show Downward Trend For the fourth consecutive month claims for servicemen’s readjust ment allowances declined in Sep tember when only 4,678 initial ap plications for payments were filed, a drop of 29.1 percent from August, Jas. Julien Bush, executive direc tor of the South Carolina Employ ment Security Commission an nounced today. Coinciding with the decline in initial claims was a drop of 12.8 percent in the amount of allowances paid; that is $1,651,446 in Septem ber, as compared with $1,839,311 in August. One hundred and forty- four servicemen exhausted the maximum allowances they are en titled to receive, as compared with only 99 exhaustions in August. Only 19,096 servicemen were beneficiaries under the unemploy ment allowance program, a 12.8 percent decline from August. Self-employment allowances de clined 43.6 percent under August, the most drastic change since the program was iniated. In September 5,263 self-employed veterans filed claims and received $508,170 in al lowances. This compared with 10,- 110 claims in August, on which $988,531 in allowances were paid. The Commission explained that the drop jn self-employment allow ances was due to the harvest sea son and financial returns from crops, as most of the self-employed veterans were engaged in agricul ture. “New initial claims,” the statement said, “tend to reflect the number of releases from the arm ed services and have been decreas ing with the near completion of demobilization.” As for continued claims, the decline was due large ly to veterans returning to schools and colleges. The Commission is now carefully checking the records of all claim ants to determine whether they are making an independent effort to find work aside from their regis tration with the Employment Serv ice offices. A claimant who does not actively seek unemployment is not determined to be fully available for work. A veteran must be fully available for work, among other requirements, in order to qualify for unemployment allowances. The Commission is also looking into numerous cases which may indicate that some veterans are working while claiming allowances. This constitutees fraud and subjects the claimant to a possible fine of $1,000 of imprisonment for a year. Benefits paid under the state un employment compensation law (a separate program from the readjust ment allowance program) also continued to decline and, during September, totaled only $130,716, which represented the low«-'.t monthly level reached since Feb ruary 1946. These payments com pensated for 9,295 weeks of unem ployment at an average rate of $14.06 per week compensated. Benefits paid under the state unemployment compensation law come from the state unemployment trust fund. The Commission is re imbursed by the federal government for allowances paid veterans under the Servicemen’s Readjustmene Act of 1944, and these payments there fore do not affect contributions paid by employers into the state trust fund.
