appeal to congress at the earliest pos
sible day to make provision to pub

POLAND BAREF0 DOT
ARMY Of CHILDREN
Gets AID rom U.S..

New York, Jan. 2.-Forty thousand
of Poland's barefoot army of a mil
lion hungry Jewish children, aren't
shoeless any more.
They're wearing sandals made with
wooden soles, leather straps and fur
heel pieces, purcha sed through funds
raised by the American Jewish Re-
lief committee and its allied organi-
cations.
Although sandals may be all right
in the balmy climate of Japan, they're
not much protection when the ther-
mometer is below zero and the snow
is several feet deep. Still they are
better than no sheos at all, declar-
ed lsidore Hershfield, Jewish Relief
Commissioner in Poland for the Joint
Distribution committee, who, unable
to get enough shoes quickly for his
million barefoot youngsters, because
of the scarcity of leather and the
exorbtant prices, purchased sandals
from available raw materials in Po
land.
Peculiar as they may seem in a
country noted for its severe winters,
the sandals are proving a blessing
to these suffering children, who
haven't worn shoes for years, wrote
Mr.. Hershfield. 1--WE are trying to
get more of them, for to secure ade-
quate supplies of shoes promptly is
out of the question The tragic army
CT barefoot waits will all have san
dals if they are possible to get"

the country into 379 regions along
the lines of the congressional dis
tricts. The cost of taking the cen

The enumerators are paid from 2 to
4 cents for each namt and are re-

warming TO GROWERS
OF SWEET POTATOES

Clemson College, Oct. 11.-Sweet
potatoes should be dug before frost OF
-.antinued cold weather approaching

plant and both vines and roots may
tAes damaged by temperature above the
frost point, warns the Extension Ser
T'ice horticulturists.
The earliest date Of the first killing
.:frr,st in the Piedmont section is Octo-
:bxsT 23rd, sandhill section November
G!st, Coastal section November 9th.
The prevalent idea that the vines
must be frosted before the potatoes
are dug is wrong and the practice dan

Frost injury, the former is least in

not be kept under any condition.
