We Lose Tench Owens
For the past four years an inter
esting column, “Sports Chatterbox,”
by Tench Owens, has appeared in
The Chronicle. To our regret, and to
that of hundrdes of readers interest
ed in athletics, the feature appeared
last week for the last time. The writ
er of the column was not “fired” we
hasten to say, but because of gradu
ation this week at Presbyterian col
lege and his'already having been
called into army service as a second
lieutenant in the Reserve Officers’
corps, the time arrived for his “finis”
column.
Tench is a talented writer and ixis-
sesses a wide knowledge of athletics,
as those who have enjoyed his col-
well know. He is a young man
umn
of high personal standards, clean
habits, a bright mind and an attrac
tive personality that makes and holds
many friends for him. The Chronicle
is ready to say he is one of the nicest
boys in this town, that we are for
him, and that we wish him mighty
well as he lays down his books and
pen to enter Uncle Sam’s service.
Scarcity of Nurses
The nation’s huge preparedness
program is producing a heavy de
mand for physicians and graduate
nurses. At the present commence
ment season when nurses are receiv
ing their diplomas from hospitals,
there is an urgent request that many
of them go into government service,
especially in the army branch. From
many hospitals large numbers of
young women are entering govern
ment employment at camp hospitals.
Their places, in many instances, are
being filled with girls from NYA
homes and schools to fill this emer
gency shortage.
As in the 'IVorld war, our national
defense program and training of sol
diers calls for experienced nursing
wearing seconds shirts, are find
ing that defense means more oppor
tunities and better pay.
The industrial leaders, who still
feel they are the ones who are going
to be called upon to do the real dol
lar sacrificing, are having a respite
before the big tax assessments come,
which fs giving them an opportunity
I to store up a reserve for a rainy day.
Senator^ and congressmen still an
nounce grants, subsidies and allot-
rhents for every conceivable purpose,
projects having not the slightest
bearing or connection with national
defense. Almost every day Senator
Byrnes announces another expendi
ture of this kind. As an example, it
was noted yesterday that the Flor
ence Chamber of Commerce had
adopted a resolution r^uesting can
cellation of a WPA grant for $28,000
lor landscaping public buildings in
that county and asking that the sum
be spent for national defense, or for
reducing the federal deficit. They
felt, the resolution said, that “it is
not proper to decorate our yards
when the house is in danger from
world conflagration.” The resolution
also denounced unwarranted strikes
defense industries. Florence has

As a matter^of fact, I rajely ever

occasions I fell like everybody is
wondering what that boob«means
trying to look nice. I have no tails;
only a tuK, or >sdiatever you call that
kind of garb that has a regular
length coat with foot-long lapels and
a little vest that has 2 buttons on it
at the bottom end that fastens over a
stiff-front shirt that is pushing your
neck off, and a pair of britches to
match with black braid running up
and down on the outside of the legs.
I think they call it a tux.

The army of civilian office-holders
increases, our state legislatures refuse
to cut appropriations and continue to
create new jobs for office-holders.
This army of employes, not includ
ing WPA workers, is now more than
1,200,000, which 'means we have al
most as many civilian office-holders
as soldiers in vmiform.

Juniors Enjoy Par^
The Junior department of the Bap
tist Training union enjoyed an old
time tacky party on Thursday eve
ning at the home of Miss Nellie
Jackson. Each girl and boy wi^
dressed appropriately for the oc
casion. Miss Esther Johnson receiv
ed a prize for the best dressed girl
and Lindy McCauley for the tackiest
boy. Refreshments of lemonade and
cookies were served.
Those stiff shirts that a guy has to
wear to these parties and weddings
Ought to be outlawed by a constitu
tional amendment. It takes the whole
family to get one of them on “pa.”
And when you are trying to talk to
some one at the “gathering,” the
thing pops and cracks every time you
open your mouth. Nine times out of
ten, if you ain’t awfully particular,

out of their holes and' either slide
down your inner clothes or bounce
out on the fioor in front of you.

Byrnes is the gentleman who seems
to have a sort of monopoly over our

WPA allotments, grants, etc., from
