CHERAW CHRONICLE
WE LDTDSAY, Editor
Shifter Organization in Chernw not
;|p Bad.
The Shifters, wishing us to tell the
people of this community that their
organization is perfectly harmless,
showed the Editor through the secrets
of the organization, free. He couldn't
have gone through if it had cost
anything.
We must admit we were disappointed.
We have seen newspaper accounts
of "cash" and "check" paid in kisses
if the "bank" wasn't closed but mere
was no mention of these in the ritual
of the Shifters of -Cheraw. About the
worst thing about the Shifters is their
aim: "To get something for nothing."i
This of course is not laudible but we
are sure it must be I -ts of fun if one
can do it in the~e s rtnuous days. The
idea of course is to ,-Jo" the candidate
(which can't be done if the candidate
happens to be like ye editor).
Certainly the Shifters Club here was
and is a very harmless affair and won't
live long enough to bother about reforming
so let's let it die in peace.
Home Town Commandments.
(Published by request of Civic
League.)
1. Thou shalt love thy home town
above all other towns. Thou shalt
be loyal to her people and her institutions.
2. Thou shalt guard thy home
town from the hosts of evil that
would invade and destroy her soul.
Thou shalt keep the good name of
thy home town clean and without
stain or blemish.
3. Thou shalt elect as thy public
servants men of strong character,
eager to conserve the best interests
of thy people. And when thou hast
elected such men thy shalt stand t
support and encourage them, for
their temptations are many and their
burdens heavy.
4. Thou shalt exalt thy public
school and honor it all the days of
thy life with the best of teachers,
buildings and equipments, for the
school is the cradle of the future.
Thy children are here and they shall
be the leaders of tomorrow. Xo
training is too good for them and
no preparation superfluous.
5. Thou shalt defend the health
of thy home town from the death
that lurks in marshes, swamps, and
heaps of filth. Thou shalt exterminate
the fly and mosquito, for they
carry typhoid and malaria. The
tubercle bacillus shalt thou drive before
thee with the sun and fresh air
as thy allies.
6. Thou shalt build good roads and
keep them good. For by her roads
is a town known for good or ill
Eternal watchfulness shall be thy
motto, that thy roads may not ravel
nor thy supervisor forget thee.

No hovel shalt thou permit to disfigure
them. Thou shalt keep thy
hemes and door yards clean and

town shalt thou plan with care and

in the worship of God. Thou shall
not send thy children to church. Thou
shalt bring them there. Th?.u shalt
offer thyself to thy spiritual leader
for the service of God and thy community.
So shall ye win many battle,
together.?F. Eastman, San ford Herald,

' Old Knickers and Golf Suit.
The home folks were lnystiiied the
other day when liarold, who Is attending
an up-state university, wrote u
letter to his sister,. Elsie, a-king her
to dig into his old trunk up in the attic
and send him the kuickerbocker
Norfolk suit he wore during his junior
year lu high school. Remembering
with what Joyous abandon liarold I
stepped out of short pants into bis
lirst suit of loug trousers, mother \
could not figure out why he should j
want to baeksli'de.
A postscript cleared up the mystery,
says the New York Sun.
"All the fellows are wearing golt .
suits on the campus," Harold wrote,
"especially on Saturdays and Sundays.
I know dud cuu't afford to slake me
to $65 worth of new clothes, so I'll try
to bluff the thing through with my i
old high school knickers and about
$2 yortft of regulation g !f stockings."

Ford Car Has Mnny Refmemenst
I *
Body and Mechanical Improvements Meet 9
Public Approval
The Ford Motor Company, Detroit, ha3 Just made public u list of recent
Improvements in the mechanical features of Ford cars.
Asserting that Ford cars are better today than they ever "have been before,
the statement adds that fuel consumption is lower; the engine is even
more efficient than formerly; improvements in the springs and steering
apparatus insure easier riding and driving qualities; a new headlamp lens,
which complies with all state laws, improves the road light; and that many
other minor betterments have been made.
Ford pistons and connecting rods have been re-designed and are matched
for weight before assembling into motors. This reduces vibration and gives
the motor a quicker pick-up. The new pistons weigh three-quarters of a
pound less than those formerly used. A highly polished crank shaft bearing
surface also reduces wear and, added to the piston and connecting rod
improvements, insures a smoother-running and better balanced motor. The
material used in the Ford crankshaft and the care and precision in its
manufacture make it a second to none.
The new Ford carburetor gives increased acceleration. Though not
radically different from the carburetor previously used, the new construction
improves the all-round performance of the motor, giving it a quicker
pick-up and a greater flexibility of action.
The wiring system has been completely re-designed, and while it costs
more to install than the old system, is moBt efficient, proof of which is evidenced
by the fact that it affords a fire insurance rate as low as the higher 9
priced cars on the market. (
Many other changes have been made: A 16" steering wheel is now
standard equipment; Timken roller bearings are used in the front wheel;
one-piece pressed steel running-board brackets insure body rigiditv and
eliminate vibration and body noises; a dash weather-trough prevents rain
from reaching coil terminals or dashwiring; the steering mechanism has
also been improved; and the tools supplied to purchasers of Ford cars have
also been improved in quality. Another important improvement in the
truck chassis is the truck chassis is the adoption of cord tires as standard

The change made sometime ago in the seating arrangement of the Touring
car has met with widespread approval. By lowering the seats and altering
the seat backs, greater comfort was added.
It is pointed out tha retail sales ofa million car^ and trucks yearly, and
the consumption of raw and finished products at a cost of approximately one
jmillion dollars a day makes it possible to sell Fords at their present low
I prices and at the same time to produce a car of exceptionally high quality.
