SOUTHERN STATES DECLARES
DIVIDEND

The board of directors of Southern
States Cooperative in session in Rich
mond April 26, tentatively allocated
the estimated $1,390,000 of net saw
ings for the fiscal year ending June
80, General Manager w. G. Wysor,
annonced.
Dividends payable June 80 were
declared on all classes of outstanding
capital stock The amount of stock
dividends payable is $260,000, the
rate varying from 4 percent per an
mum on preferred to per cent per
annum on common stock.
If approval is given by local board
the ALLEGATION of net margins, the re-
mainder of operating asvings, other
than $4,000 allocated to increase
reserve for self insurance, will be re-
turned to patrons in patronage re-
funds.
Mn. Wysor announced that the or
ganization now has a membership of
178,80S farmers, the membership in
crease during the past year being
slightly less than $4,000.
Volume of business for the nine
months ended March 81 was 4 per
cent less than during the correspond
ing period the year previous. The de-
ccrease resulted from a reduction in
the quantity of hay purchased for
patrons. AS a result of the drought
in 1913 the cooperative handled dur
ing tie winter of 1943-44 more than
1900 carloads OF hay subsidized
by the government. During the cur
rent operating year farmers have
needed to purchase only limited
quantities of hay.

HOME NURSING COURSES

"Home care of the sick is now,
more than ever, the duty of we'll

Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Heauth, reminds homemak-
ers of Maryland. wives and moth
ers, and even teen-age girls, should
stand ready to give simple nursing
care when needed. During the pre-
sent shortage of nurses-when pro-
Ifessional nurses are needed in the
Iarmed forces, civilian hospitals and
public health nursing agencies
home nursing has become highly i'm
Iportant to the maintenance of civil
ian health.
"All women and older girls who
can possibly do so are urged to take
the Red Cross Home Nursing Course
to help them guard the family's and
the nations health and meet the
needs of sickness. They should take
quire knowledge and skills which
will be of practical value to them
now and in the future.
"In most sections of Maryland this
course is available, taught by regis
tered nurses. In many instances it is
given by county public health nurses.
The local Red Cross chairman will
be able to give detailed information
as to when and where home nursing

SUGGESTIONS FOR PACIFIC MAIL
PACKAGES PACKING

A package addressed to a man in
the Pacific will have a long and
rough trip, perhaps lasting months
and possibly in half a dozen ships, so
it should be well wrapped.
Dispatching more than two million
packages month to the Pacicfic and
expecting sudden new peaks in the
volume as more forces are sent to
that area. the Navy Mail Service is
sues this new appeal.
Postal officers here call attention
to the size of the Pacific Ocean and
the distance of it's battlefronts. Be-
cause many parcels collapse enroute,
they have outlined the following sug-
gestions:
l. Pack each article in shredded
paper or something like it to pre-
vent movement inside the package.
2. Tie the box with heavy cord,
then wrap it in brown paper and tie
it again with strong cord.
3. Print the address in ink directly
on the wrapping; don't use paper
stickers which fall off if they get wet.
4. Inside each package put a sheet
of paper listing the contents and Civ
ing the full address of the person to
whom it is sent. If this is done, a
broken box can be re-addressed and
delivered.)
5. 1t is a good idea to insure pack
ages sent overseas.
The number of packages sent to
the Pacific area increased from
1,655,S20 last September to ,2,O12,-
865 in January.

gets rid of mosquitoes, bedbugs,
lice, feas, moths and other insects.
Since it can destroy fish, cattle or

corning the future political and ter
ritorial makeup of postwar Europe,

disposition Of the country's North
African colonies, with the British
repeatedly frowning on the Aneri-
can proposition for permitting the
Italians to retain their territories

protective boundaries and rich
interests cropped up, the Brit

retention of only western Libya
while taking for themselves

strengthen their own Tunisian
holding.
