The money for the program is from some al located several states, including South Carolina, to be used for a period of 20 months in an accele rated program to combat Bang’s disease.

Paul S. Lofton of Ninety Six won five first awards. These w r ere for highest average milk produc tion and butterfat production in herds of over 15 cows; the highest milk and butterfat production for individual cow based on 305 days and also for highest “ton of gold” cow\ A cow from Clemson Col lege herd was winner in lifetime milk production and a cow owned by G. E. Hawkins of Greenwood held the record for the cow with the life-time butter fat production. Brief talks were made by Char lie Hall, American Jersey Cattle Club fieldman, and Prof. J. P. Lamaster of Clemson College, who discussed^ the history of the Jer sey bulls in Clemson and showed slides of these animals. Outstanding reports were given by parish leaders on their re spective achievements during the past year. Mr. Cushman, who was intro duced by Audley H. Ward, re called the early history of dairy ing in South Carolina and named several of the pioneering herd leaders of the state. He pointed out the need for statesmen and leaders to act today as ambassa dors to spread the dairy industry and to meet the present day com petition with other foods. “We can produce milk and we should produce it and then go just as far as we can to put this food on the table of consumers. Milk is the best food there is. It is a product that is sold on the basis of its merit. Leadership is what we need in expanding this indus try today,” Mr. Cushman stated. At the close of his talk Mr. Cushman presented G. E. Haw kins, secretary-treasurer of the club for many years, and Mrs. Hawkins a silver tray . and tea set in appreciation of Mr. Haw kins’ remarkable qualities’ of lead ership in his community, state and Hospital Births Born to Mr. and Mrs. Harvey (Etta Ray Ruff) Jordan, Newberry, a 7 lb. 10 ounce son, Randall Ray Monday, November 22.

Summerfield said today. The December 1 edition replaces the preliminary edition originally issued October 21. It contains pro posals advanced by the public for improvements in the postal regu lations. The suggestions came from large commercial users of the mails, publishers, newspapers, citi zens in all walks of life and postaj employees themselves. Postmasten General Summer- field announced, when the prelim inary publication was released, that the Post Office Department was taking what was for his De partment an unprecedented step of asking for suggestions on im provements. The effective date of the regulations, originally set for November 26, had to be moved up to the present December 1 date to take advantage of the best of the Recommendations. Among additional changes being made in. the final publication are the following: 1. FYirther clarification of * the use of meter stamps has been made. The entire part on meter stamps has been rewritten. 2. Publishers will be allowed to use white or any other light-col ored paper for wrapping, Instead of being restricted to white or Manila paper—a simple change, but one which will be important financially for this large group of mailers. 3. Another important revision for publishers who are among the largest users of the mails will be one permitting use of light-colored paper for address strips also, in stead of the present mandatory white or yellow—another simple change which will have financial importance. As a part of this change, the requirement is abol ished that black ink exclusively must be used on the address strips. 4. Specific measurement limita tions as to where the “window” must he located in the envelope are changed, to eliminate unneces sary restrictive and technical re quirements which formerly applied to large mail users. 5. A complete list of territories, possessions and trust territory lands included in domestic mail service has been placed in the fi nal Manual—another illustration of how the Manual will give complete basic information for mail ukers. 6. Strict and unnecessary re strictions on the identifying letter ing for-Tural mail boxes are modi fied. These are only a few of scores of suggestions which are included in the final version, Mr. Summer- field noted. “While many of them appear of a simple nature, their importance for large groups of mail users is great, and sometimes th^ value of a single one of these changes made as a result of public cooperation may be worth thousands of dol lars to individual mail users,” Mr. Summerfield commented. In addition to the improvements brought about by the final manual, Mr. Summerfield recalled that the preliminary edition itself brought about a basic revision of postal regulati6ns, providing many im portant improvements. This included provisions under which innocent mailers have been plagued by professional informers who took advantage of the mailers unwitting violations of “booby trap” regulations — obsolete and unenforceable provisions formerly buried among the 4,006 pages of official publications. Innocent vio lations of these provisions laid mailers open to the possibility of court suit, particularly those in stigated by professional informers. Other typical changes contain ed in the first edition and contin ued in the final manual include these: A 0 Dependents of servicemen may have mail forwarded to new duty stations without charge. Persons entitled to a refund for overpaid postage, or for service paid for but not received may re ceive their money back. Publishers of magazines may now include attractive modern layouts on new kinds of paper, formerly outlawed by outmoded 19th century postal restrictions. Persons who are trapped with a wrong date on their metered ma terial for the mails no longer will be charged a 16 per cent penalty cost. In certain instances where it is an unnecessary and expensive bother, the date may be dropped from metered material for the mails. Publishers may obtain subscrip tions under agreements with agents, without having terms of the agreements dictated by the Post Office Department. Business mailers no longer need to hunt up and note on certain types of mail the mysterious and legalistic authorizations for that type of mail. Rev. Robert H. Harper A Cry Out of the Depths Lesson for December 5; Psalms 130: 1-6; 86: 3-3; 11-13 Golden Text: Psalms 86: '3 Out of the depths of his repent ance for sins committed against God, the Psalmist cried unto the Lord for forgiveness and restora tion to the divine favor. His at titude of supplication and wait ing for an answer was likened to that of a man who watches for the coming of the morning. He waits for the grant of forgiving grace because of his hope in the sure word of the Lord. He realizes that if God shouldst mark iniquity, no one could stand. And he is assured that God, who is good, is ready to forgive and is “abundant in loving kindness un to all them that call upon" him, and that he will know the joy of being restored to God’s favor. But the divine forgiveness is not to be had just for the asking and by the mere act of worship alone. If a man would be forgiven, Jesus teaches, he must forgive. If he would be forgiven he must have a pure heart and show forth love and service in the Master’s name. So let us know that the great thing needed for repentance is turning away from the former course of sin. For repentance is much more than a matter of words. It is the giving of the heart to God and the dedication of the life to the Lord’s service. Let the man who has transgressed against God, turn from his sin and consecrate himself to the Saviour. Scott Elliott Is Listed In Who’s Who Publication The 1953-54 volume of Who’s Who in American Education, has just come from the press and car ries a biographical sketch as well as a photograph of Prof. F.

C., for 65 cents a copy. It is canary yellow in color, contrast ing with the green of the fir^t edi tion.

This is obtainable also from the Superintendent of Docu ments. Postmaster General Summerfield has described the manual as “the most complete revision and sim plification of postal regulations in history.” The new publication, he empha sized, will ibe the absolute final word on postal rules and regula tions. The myriad, complicated material of the past is all com pletely superseded, and there will be no question of “conflicts” be tween previously issued material and this book. Instructions are go ing out to all postal establishments accordingly.
