That war is agains' 'ho accident menace ? in industry, the home, on the highways and elsewhere This is not an empty parallel. An tom?Mle accidents alono actually cos more lives than war. They create ar much suffering. They are even com parable to war in the economic waste they entail. Or a number of fronts this wa has been successful. In the industria' field, tremendous progress in accider' prevention has been made. The roste of important industries which operate for memths at a stretch without,..;*, single mi.ihap of impa&|M<&vijB con fr ovi'Mir 'Dfe-lffe* ii of workers in every producing fiele' hps never been better guardeel-? be cause management has been tireless in instilling the doctrine of safety L first into its employes. That is also true of ohilelren of school age. Thousands of young lives have been saveel through courses on caution anel aooielent prevention. The great failure has been in the fielel of the automobile. Most years have seen elecisivo advances in the number of eleaths ahd injuries over the last. Reeluctions the few times they have ooour'oel have been small. The reckless and niconsielerate elriver has se-e>reel victory after victe>ry. The result is that Mir public streets and highways have become places of car nage. The never enellng war against ac cielent must be femght with increasing vige>r if it is to succeed. The dang fcrous driver is Public Enemy Number 1. Ho should be given the treatment ho deserves.

Camps Get Six Months More Announcement by the president of his intention to extend for another 1 six months the Civilian Conservation corps, even though this involves mov ing 450 camps to areas where winter in less severe is welcomed in the 16 C. C. C. camps in South Carolina, where it is estimated about 60 per cent of the present campers will sign on for another half- year hitch. Every man now in camp is present ly to receive a personal message from the president, urging him if possible to get himself a job, but offering him the afternative, if no job is obtainable of remaining in the Conservation corps for another six months' period. Men who get jobs outside the corps i will be replaced by others between J the ages of IS and 25 and in the vet erans' camps by military veterans. Approximately a third of the existing camps will have to be abandoned qjpd set up elsewhere to avoid the rigors of severe weather. This mans many of those now situated in the North will be moved to the South. Orders therefore are about to issue to the army to remove the most exposed camps by the end of Octobei in order that woods operations may continue through the winter. Twenty million dollars has been made available by the president to cover the expense of moving these camps. Just where in the South the North ern camps will go has not an yet been decided. Texas alone ha4? applied for 51 new camps, in addition to t$ie 80 or more already running in that state. South Carolina has offered many elig ible sites.

Toledo HI' Blue Eagle Drive Gains Momentum With the Blue Eagle drive daily S&ining momentum in every part 01 tlie country, there is mounting evi dence that the nation soon will be enlisted luo percent behind this new American bird. Kepoarts reaching Ownden from Washington today gave a stirring picture of a campaign ior re-employment that is unique in the Annals of this or any other country. According to these reports approxi mately G,000 communities are now organized with militant crew of vol unteer workers who are going tho limit of their ability to make possible the objectives of President loosevelt and National Recovery Administrator Johnson which is 5,000,000 mora men and women on tho payrolls of tho nation by Labor Day. And to this volunteer army, thousands of recruits ?are being added daily as new com munities by the hundreds take up tho work. t * One of the marvels of the cam paign, so it is pointed out, is the sheer speed with which these mighty strides have been attained. It is literally a matter of days since the Blue Eagle first was thrust across the American horizon. Less than 3<> days ago, General Johnson sent out a message to the heads of commercial organizations in all parts of the country asking them to take the initiative in forming militant Blu( Eagle organizations in their respec tive communities. This was the be ginning of the campaign. In less than 24 hours thereafter wires, 'phone calls, and letters began a bombard ment that has never ceased. It has >?>een a bombardment of enlistment. ^Through all the thousands 0f mess ?ges that have been pouring into ^Washington, this has been the theme g?' Teu us It is not' going too far to say that all America has enlisted behind the Blue Eagle, For example, every motion picture theatre in America if this weelf showing a "trailer" to the news reels. It starts off with a vigorous Uncle Sam pointing an un compromizing index finger at the adience with the words, "Uncle Sam Wants You." And then the whole picture is of a nature calculated to stir the aurience to the heights of patriotic ardor. Then there are count* less movie-tones, and next week will see the beginning of a sries of N. R. A. dramas in which all the big stars in Hollywood will take part. Never before in the history of the silver screen has there been such a solidarity o fendeavor to bring suc cess to a cause. The radio, too, has surrendered quite as completely tr the Blue Eagle. It is not easy to turn in anywhere today and not hoar some message of exhortation in behalf of the bird that has been stamped on r. nation's consciousness as tho insignia of hnppy days. Great programs or the air are soon to come. Such nation wide favorites as A1 Smith and Will Rogers will soon take to the "mike" in behalf of the great drive agninst unemployment. Mme. Schumann Heink who sang so effectively during the war enlisted again, and George W. Cohan has writtten n material air that will be the peace-time counter part of his immortal "Over There." Countless other radio and theatrical stars have joined up with tho great movement. Of course, the newspa pers have fallen in line just as they did with such patriotic loyalty in the days of 1017 and 1018. And every where in theatres and at all public gatherings speeches are being given by N. R. A. "Minute Men." In the N. R. A. offices in Washing ton, executives for days have been literally swamped with correspond ence, thus showing the trmndous pub lie reaction. It has not been possible even for the great facilities of the U. S. Government to deliver con sumer's cards, stickers, Blue Eagle insignia and other supplies and paraphernalia as rapidly as the pub lic has demanded them. Recently a fleet of 24 airplanes sailed from New York to the North, West and South loaded to capacity with campaign supplies but still the demand was unsatisfied. However, officials in Washington promise that all demands will be met and that If organizations Truck Owners To Meet in Camden Fri. Truck owners of Kershaw county will meet at the county court house in Camden Friday afternoon, August 26, at 3 o'clock to formulate an organiza tion to supervise the operation of the truckers' code of fair competition in this area, F. M. Burnett, secretary of the South Carolina motor truck own ers association, has announced. Similar meetings held in other sec tions of the state were largely at tended by truckers who unanimously adopted the proposed code which em bodies practically the same hours as apply to railroads. North Carolina truckers began operating under the agreement on August 7, immediately after signing of all leaders of the in dustry in the South in Atlanta, after it was found impossible to work under the blanket code. The code will allow the truckers to work six days of eight hours each, while for seven days service the week may be 56 hours. Minimum wages will be 30 cents an hour for drivers and 26 cents for helpers and clerical workers. Time and one-third would be allowed for over-time and provi sion is made on long hauls for a 16 hour day, provided the weekly total does not exceed 48 hours. All operators of trucks, drays and teams come under the provisions of the code and are expected to coope rate with it. Another -group" that will come under it are those persons who conduct another line of business but who move their goods to the consumer for the hauling, Mr. Burnett said. The government will not deal with individuals and to realize the full ben efits of the code, motor truck owners in this state must affiliate themselves with the South Carolina motor truck owners association or some similar organization that is recognized by tho national recovery administration. PRESIDENT DRAET&*rvt - V- - JOHN T. STEVESS John T. Stevens, prominent Ker shaw business man, received a wire last week from General Hugh John son, administrator of the National Recovery Act which reads as follows: "President Roosevelt has drafted you as one of'the seven members of ? he District Recovery Board for the Charleston District comprising the state of South Carolina as explained in bulletin number three of July twenty ? nineteen thirty three.
