Miss Mable Hipp of Prosper ity was recently elected by the State 4-H club as a representa tive to the national club con gress to be held in Chicago the first week in December. I have before me the story of Mable’s 4-H club work, which I thor oughly enjoyed reading. Since space doesn’t allow me to print the full story, I’d like to men tion a few highlights of her work. She first joined a 4-H club in 1941 and in 1942 began compet ing in the Sears Roebuck gard ening and canning contests. That year, she won first prize for both gardening and canning. In 1943, she won the same first prizes in the contest and was elected secretary and treasurer of the Newberry County 4-H Council. In 1944, Mable’s family moved to another community, where no 4-H club was organized. Wit the help of the home demon stration agent, a club was or ganized, and Mable was elected president; she was also named president of the county council (Continued on page 8) McLeod Advocate Military Training Universal military training was strongly advocated by Dr. James C. McLeod of Florence, who delivered an Armistice day address on the subject of “Pre paredness” at the high school auditorium Tuesday morning at 11:00 o’clock. Dr. McLeod was originally scheduled to speak from the steps of the old courthouse, fol lowing an Armistice day parade, but because of the heavy rain fall the parade was canceled and the meeting held in the high school auditorium. William R. Wise, commander of American Legion Post No. 24, presided. Rev. Paul E. Monroe, Jr., pastor of the Lutheran church of the Redeemer, spoke the invocation and closed the meeting with a benediction. Commander Wise introduced Mrs. May T. Stuck, president of the Newberry unit, American Legion Auxiliary, who presented a wreath in honor of the dead of World Wars I and II. Dr. McLeod, who was intro duced by Commander Wise, be gan his speech by recalling cir cumstances leading to the arm istice of 1918, and commented on the observance of the anniver sary each year in various allied countries. “It is just and fitting,” he stated, “that such an observance as this be held. It represents our esteem and our appreciation —our love and our gratitude to those who fell in battle and to those who make possible Am erica continuing as a democ racy.” Dr. McLeod pointed out that in 171 years, America has seen seven wars—an average of 25 years between each war. In stressing preparedness, and urg ing a military training program, he said; “In my opinion, a year’s training will do each boy good —it will improve him spiritual ly, intellectually, and physically The cost of universal military training will be enormous . . . but as nothing compared with the cost of defeat.” The speaker quoted General Jonathan Wainwright, hero of Corregidor, as saying, “I hope that America will never again become so weak as to invite an other Corregidor.” “Each of us can do our part individually or in groups,” con cluded Dr. McLeod, “to help create proper public opinion that is going to be necessary to keep this country strong. Let us all unite with a determination on this Armistice day with a pledge in our hearts, and march for ward almost in cadence under the guidance and inspiration of the Stars and Stripes which has always been and always will be the symbol of a free religion, a free speech, a free America.” Following the services at the high school auditorium, a bar becue luncheon was served to approximately 700 members and guests of the Legion at the arm ory, The luncheon was served by the Legion Auxiliary. Dr. Marshal C. Dendy, a for mer pastor of Aveleigh Presby terian church, now of Orlando, Fla., visited in Newberry Mon day in the home of Mrs. M. J.

STATE WOMEN INVESTIGAT ORS STAMPING OUT ILLEGAL PRACTICE OF COSMETIC ART If you are curling ' anybody’s hair other than your own for pay or reward, either directly or indirectly, and are not a licensed beautician—it is against the Law, and you’d better be care ful because state women investi gators are making a thorough investigation of the state. The members of the State Board of cosmetic' Art Exam iners and it’s inspectors are vigorously enforcing the Law and will continue to press charges against those violating it. Many women in the state have violated the letter of. the Law at one time or another, since it specifically includes a lot of things commonly done. For instance, the Law, passed in 1934 provides that it shall be unlawful for any person not a registered beautician to practice cosmetology for pay or reward, either directly or indirectly, Which term includes, “The sys tematic massaging with the hands or mechanical apparatus, of the scalp, face, neck, should ers and hands; the use of cos metic preparations and antisep tics in connectior*. therewith: manicuring; cutting, dyeing, cleansing, arranging, dressing, waving and marcelling of the hair, and the use of electricity for stimulating growth of hair.” In addition to the above, par ticular effort is being made to eliminate the secret practice of those who are charging for their work and performing services in private homes. That covers a lot of territory, and violation is considered a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed $50, or a sen tence of not more than 30 days in prison. Advt.
