Kinard was the guest speaker at tne Reciprocity meeting of the Woman’s Club which was held at the home of the club president, Mrs. H. L>. -enn, on February 14. This meeting, which is held annually, ceLPrated the club’s 56th birthday. The meeting was op; :ed with the reading of the club t by Mrs. Henry Fellers, clmo m n of the Reciprocity Comm ‘ .• Mrs. Senn then recognized t' resid ents of the various or and gave them a warm She also recognized Mi Elliott, chairman of t Sigma Omicron divisim South Carolina Federate men’s Clubs. Mrs. Fellers introduced Dr. Kin ard who spoke ably “The Appeal of the Aesthetic,' He ap plied the subject to th Woman's. Club, saying that the v d “aes thetic” definitely symbo.ized its impulses throughout its i mg his tory. He congratulated the club in carrying out its purpose to such a high degree. Then he said that since the home is woman’s pe culiar sphere, she is challenged to cultivate an appreciation of the aesthetic in her realm. He used many apt illustrations in present ing his point. “Beauty is the hand writing of God and if one has an appreciation of the aesthetic, he can find beauty in the common place and simple things of life,” the speaker said.

Congressman William Jennings Bryan Dorn joined ten other House Members in introducing a new cotton bill. This bill would com pensate the cotton farmers of South Carolina, through the Soil Bank program, for cotton acreage which they have lost to other states since 1950. Dorn's bill dir ects the ’ Secretary of Agriculture to establish for each cotton farm a new “farm base acreage” which shall consist, of the present farm acreage allotment plus 20 per cent. Cotton farmers would then be compensated for this addition al 20 percent through the Soil Bank. South Carolina’s present cotton acreage allotment is 727,837 acres, pongressman Dorn’s bill would add 145,400 acres to this total state allotment, making a total 873,- 237 acres. This additional 145,400 acres could not be planted to cotton but could be placed in the Soil Bank program. Under this bill, no acreage allotment will be lost in the county or state due to the failure of certain cotton producers to grow their annual cotton acreage allotment. This new bill also directs the Secretary of Agriculture, through the County ASC Committee, to provide for the measurment of acreage planted by metes and bounds where the cotton grower requests such measurement in writing to the county committee. This provision will afford the cot ton grower a more careful survey and will elimate some of the in justices which have caused farm ers to lose acreage in our section of the country. Congressman Dorn said, “The farmers of South Carolina, because of economic reasons and volun tarily, have been reducing their cotton acreage since 1920 while the west has been greatly increas ing acres planted to cotton. This bill, if passed, will greatly help cotton farmers in the southeastern states like South Carolina whose cotton acreage has been reduced since 1950. At the same time, this bill would not add a single bale of cotton to the Nation’s sur plus. This bill is only fair and just to the farmers of my State and I hope the Congress will pass Prosperity News MRS. B. T. YOUNG, Correspondent Time Runs Short To Apply For Summer Cabins Columbia, S. C., Feb. 16, 1957— Only a few days are left to apply for family vacation cabins at South Carolina’s state parks this summer, according to State For ester Chas. H. Flory. He pointed out that all applications should be sent to the State Commission of Forestry in Columbia before March first.

Many families, thinking of cool mountain breezes, want to spend their vacations in one of the cabins located at Oconee State Park or Table Rock State Park. Other vacation cabins re located at Cheraw State Park in the Sandhills,. at Poinsett State Park in the “high hills of Santee”, at Givhans Ferry State Park on the beautiful Edisto River, and at Santee State Park on the shores of Lake Marion. Negro families may rent cabins at Pleasant Ridge State Park in the mountins of Greenville County, or at the seashore at the Negro area Hunting Island State Park. There are sixty-seven family cabins located at ten state parks. The cabins have running water electric kitchens, and are fully equipped except for bed linen and table silver. Most cabins acc ommodate six people, and rental rates range from $24 to $42 per week. Because pf the heavy de mand, rentals are limited to one week per family during the sum mer months. Applicants are ad vised to give several choices of parks and weeks to increase their chances to obtain a cabin. - Mr. Jacobs stated that any fam ily wanting to spend a week’s vac ation at one of the state park family vacation cabins this sum mer should write before March first to the S.

Landowners May Be Self Employed Farm landowners as well as sharecroppers may now be self- employed for social security pur poses. The income a farm land- owner receives from a share farming agreement is covered by a recent change in the social security law if the rental arrang ement calls for the farmer to take an important part in the operat ion of the farm and he actually does so, according to Miss Martha Pressly, District Manager of the Greenwood social security office. This provision of the new law is met if the farmer' participates to a material degree in the pro duction or management of a crop or livestock on land he rents. Sharecroppers have been covered as self-employed since »the begin ning of 1955. The new law cov ering landowners applies to all types of farm rental arrange ments including cash rent, stand ing rent, share rental and share farming arrangements. The landowner who materially participates in the operation of his farm should report his net earnings for 1956 for social se curity purposes at the time he files his income tax return after the close of the year. Farmers who would like more information regarding this new phase of the law should contact their nearest social security office.
