Price Supports On Oats, Wheat Price support on oats will be carried out in the county by means of loans and purchase agreements secured by eligible oats stored on the farm and on wheat by means of direct pur chases of eligible bulk wheat loaded on railroad cars, accord ing to Mr. James W. Abrams, Chairman of the Newberry County A.C.A. Committee. The loan rate for eligible oats produced in South Caro lina in 1949 will be 81 cents per bushel based on oats grad ing US No. 3 or better. Loans and purchase agreements will be available from time of har vest through January 31, 1950. Under the loan program, eli gible farm storage shall con sist of farm bins and granaries which, as determined by the County Committee, are of such substantial and permanent con struction as to afTord safe stor age of the oats, permit effec tive fumigation for the destruc tion of insects, and afford pro tection against rodents, other animals, thieves and weather. Listed below is a brief out line of the operation of the Farm Stored Oat Loan Pro gram. 1. The producer must make application to the County ACA Committee for a loan and re quest inspection of the storage structure. (The oats must have been in storage structure at least 30 days prior to inspec tion.) 2. The County Committee or a person designated by the Committee will visit the farm, inspect th e storage structure and .if the storage structure is approved, draw representative samples and determine by measurement the quantity of oats. The samples will be for warded to a licensed grain in spector for grading. 3. If the oats are eligible for loan as evidenced by the inspection certificate received from the licensed grain inspec tor, the county office will pre pare the loan forms. The far mer may either carry the loan forms to his local bank and ob tain his loan proceeds if such bank is approved to make grain loans, or the loan forms may be forwarded to the State PMA Office where a sight draft will be drawn and forwarded to the farmer. 4. A farmer may redeem his loan at any time before the maturity date (April 30, 1950) of the loan by repayment of the principle plus 3 percent interest. If the loan is not re deemed, CCC will accept de livery of the oats in satisfaction of the loan. Delivery will be accepted within 60 days after the maturity date or the loan. The support price for eligible wheat produced in South Caro lina in 1949 has been an nounced at a rate of $2.16 per bushel for US No. 1 grade, for lower grades the following prices are applicable: US No. 2—$2.15 per bushel. US No. 3—$2.13 per bushel. US No. 4 (by test wt only)— $2.10 per bushel. US No. 5 (by test wt. only)— $2.07 per bushel. Green, damp or wet wheat that is full of weed or grass seeds or onions and wheat mix ed with other grain will not be accepted under any circum stances. Producers offering eligible wheat for sale to Commodity Credit Corporation will deliver such wheat FOB railroad cars in car load lots to a designated railhead at the direction of Commodity Credit Corporation. Weight of the wheat will be determined by a representa tive of the County ACA Com mittee prior to loading in the car. Two or more producers may place wheat in the same car. Title to eligible wheat (grade No. 3 or better or grade No. 4 or 5 solely on the factor of test weight but otherwise grad ing No. 3 or better in accord ance with US grain Standards) will pass to CCC upon deliv ery. Settlement for eligible wheat will be made on the basis of official weight and grade of the wheat at destination at the ap plicable purchase rate. Wheat determined at destination to be ineligible will be sold by Com modity Credit Corporation at the prevailing market price for such wheat and the sale pro ceeds, less transportation and handling charges will be re mitted to the offerer. (In the event two or more producers have wheat in the same car the proceeds of the sale will be prorated among such producers on the basis of the weights de termined for each lot of wheat at loading point. Determination of weight and grade at the des tination shall be final. Interested producers are re quested to contact the County ACA Office for more detailed information.

Derrill Smith and Son, Inc., Whole sale Grocers, Newberry, S. C. 2tc Women Hear Mrs. Macaulay On Tuesday evening May 31st at the new Community Hall in the Old Court House Mrs. An gus Macaulay delighted an au dience made up of members of the Civic League of Newberry, the Newberry Women’s Club, the school group of the Mo ther’s Club, the pre-school group of the Mother’s Club, and the Marion Davis Mother’s Club with a most informative talk on the organization and program of the General Feder ation of Women’s Clubs with its membership of over 10,000,- 000 in the 48 state Federations, the District of Columbia, Alas ka, and its 66 Clubs in 45 For eign Countries. She outlined also the 7 Departments into which the Federation program is divided; namely, American Home, Citizenship, Education, Fine Arts, International Rela tions, Legislation and Public Welfare. Each of these De- partmens took on real mean ing as she discussed many of the vital issues studied and act ed upon by it. In the discussion it was brought out that the Newberry Civic League was an active member of the S. C. Federation of Women’s Clubs prior to the War, and has just recently re sumed its membership, discon tinued at that time. Mrs. R. D. Wright told the group that she was Treasurer of the Soflth Carolina Federation 45 years ago when the annual conven tion was held in Newbferry, the only time in its history that it has done so. She emphasized the growth in the Federation’s program, which at that time instead of the *7 major interests as considered by Departments, had 3 major projects, which were the promotion of Literary Clubs, Library Service, and Community Improvement. Great impetus was given the Newberry County, now the Re gional Library by the gift of a book as a token of apprecia tion for the hospitality expend ed each of th e delegates who attended this Convention of the South Carolina Federation *in 1904. Mrs. Macaulay pointed out that the 2 major objectives of the General Federation for next year are the taking of its vi tal program to women at “the grass roots,” and the helping to build a stronger democracy at home. There are 4 things that members of the Federa tion can do for the Federation: work in every possible way to help win the Peace help to take its program to the young er generation of women, give it moral support, and also help promote its program financial ly. She said that there are at least 6 important ways in which the Federation may help its individual faembere: by multiplying each member’s in fluence by 10,000,000, by help ing her to be better informed, by making her a more interest ing and worthwhile person, by training her for larger respon sibility, and by affording her opportunities for re-creative recreation.

Commencement Sabbath Eve ning services were held in Memorial Hall with the speak er qf the evening, Rev. Louis Patrick, pastor of the First As sociate Reformed Presbyterian Church of Statesille, N. C. Mr. Patrick based his sermon on Romans 8:19. “'For the em- est expectation of the creature waited for the manifestation of the son of God.” The sermon was a presentation of an ideal for humanity yet to be achieved by the grace of God and an appeal to realize the ideal by becoming creative fel low-laborers with God through a full commitment of life to the service of Christ and hu manity. Mr. Patrick is a dynamic type of preacher, gripping and holding attention throughout his sermons, giving evidence of penetration of thought and forceful expression rarely found in so young a preacher.
