WOMAN'S COUNCIL
OF DEFENSE MEETING

On Monday at the High school, the
Union County Council of Defense
meeting was held. The weather was
very unfavorable and it was impossi-
BILE for the women of the township
committees to attend
However, a goodly number of the
town women and few men braved
the elements and were rewarded by
hearing two most excellent addresses
The invocation was given by the Rev
c. f. Burts of Columbia, and all pres
ent joined in singing America. Mr.
Hope, county director of the War
Savings campaign introduced the first
speaker, Prof Marion Rucker of the
South Carolina University, who gave
resume of the causes of the war
and our reasons for fighting Germany
urging everybody to invest in War
Savings Stamps and help win the war
Carolina" was then sung by Mrs.
Frost Walker accompanied by Miss
Mary Jones. Mrs. J. w. Mixson
county chairman of the Woman's
Committee then outlined the plan of
organization of the National Council
of Defense reading a letter for Mrs.
w. C. Cathcart, executive secretary of
the South Carolina Division. This
letter was addressed to the women of
Union County, and was an eloquent
plea for patriotic service.
This is "Children's Year." and the
U. S. Children's Bureau has under
taken to carry out a wartime child
welfare program.
Miss Julia Irby of Laurens is S. G..
chairman of the Child Welfare Com
mittee and has arranged to have a
representatives of the Children's Bu-
reau speak in various towns in the
State. Mrs. Mixson then introduced
Miss Elizabeth Kelly of Washington
who came to Union to speak on
Child Welfare, at the request of the
Council of Defense.
She urged the necessity of the
proper care of infants-the training
of young children and the education of
boys and girls. She advocated the in
spection of children in schools and the
treatment of those found to have de-
fects that could be cured. She spoke
feelingly and brought tears to the
eyes of her hearers when she spoke
of the suffering of the women and
children in war stricken Europe.
She said that the wartime pro-
gram for the welfare Of the children
of America should take precedence of
all other activities and plead with the
women to heed this call to save 100,-

short of the mark, the very high
standard set, if she did not produce
her quota and more of food, the chief
item of which would be corn. This
season we are confronted with what
seems to be about a 60 per cent
shortage over last year, deplorable
condition, which, if not rectifed,
means that less than year hence
Union County will be forced to buy
corn from the more progressive
outside. This will never do: there is
but one chance to rectify this serious
condition that is to plant corn
abundantly while there is yet time.
The man who will now plant his stub
BILE, or other unused land in corn will
be richly rewarded, not only in dol
lars, but in being able to live at home
and do what the government expects
and insists upon. The farmer who
will now plant two acres of corn to
the plow, in addition to what he has,
will be playing safe game. Cotton
is now well along and by the time the
corn needs attention the necessary
time for cultivation will be available.
This is not only patriotic duty, but
necessity; it will lessen in the least
the chances to make money, and it is
the only safeguard against having to
go into the open market for what we
should raise at home. Cotton is a
good thing to grow so is corn, but do
not let the cotton over-balance this
essential food crop.
Logical reason teaches us that un-
less America produces the necessary
food we can not expect to win the
war. Additionally, thousands of peo-
pie will starve. The farmer who fails
to give this appeal consideration is
making vital mistake; he is letting
the scent of gold lure him away from
the straight pathway of duty to man.
kind and establishing a very dan
gerous precedent in the community.
Union County has hardly scratched
the surface of it's opportunities; there
is wealth untold which cannot be fully
developed until we adopt safe and
sane methods. Imagine, if you can,
the farmer who insists on producing
on his plantation all the food neces-
sary to supply the family and live
stock, who conserves a liberal supply
for winter, who can sell enough of
the excess to buy tihos. Things which which
the farmer can not produce. He is
abundantly independent, is safe, and
can do then with impunity grow cot
ton as strictly money crop, feeling
sure of the returns being nearer net
gains than at present, where these
conditions are reversed.
Get the land in corn, plant abund-
antly, use sufficient fertilizer to in
sure a crop, work it thoroughly and
not only be independent yourself but
assist the other fellow who is work
ing at something else, and insure him
a living, to say nothing of our boys
and our allies at the front.

A sensational achievement is re-

URGES PEOPLE TO BUY STAMPS

The quota for Ward is $45 $4,000
and the workers on my team have Sc
cured $1,430.00, leaving $44,210.00.
Union has contributed so literally in
the past whenever called upon, that
we feel sure she will not fail this
time; but since so small a per cent
has been subscribed I urge that every
person in this ward buy these stamps,
and that as many as possible increase
their pledges.

Company have each agreed to sell at

as the above named firms, but these
have definitely agreed to do this with
the proceeds of tomorrow's business.
