Anyway, the "share the wealth"
idea is fine for the la4y and shiftless,
Cities now brag" only about that

A Kansas convict is serving sen

no doubt get about 100 years off for

Unfortunately, those who day
dream of the great good they would

usually about $999,999 shy.
OATHS FOR TEAClttfcRS'
? In a number of states laws have
been passed,, ot have been proposed,
requiring teacher's in the public
schools and colleges to take the oatftl
of allegiance, as must be done by of
ficials in various branches of the gov*
ernment.
The dread about the spread of
Cocn&nuoistic doctrines, in which many
educators of note, as well as teach
ers of lesser- rank, are sdJd to have
taken part. That organized grtoups
of teachers have protested against
taking the oath is petUaps one of the
most convincing arguments for re
quiring it. It is diffctxlt to see liow
any true American could object to
taking the oath, which officials fro en
the President down must take before
entering upon the dtities of their re
spective offices. The oath is as fol-i
lows: 1
"I * * * do solemnly swear (or'
affirm) that I will support and de-j
fend the Constitution of the Unitea
States against all eoemSes, foreign
and dom&itic; that I will be&fr true
faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take this OlbMgatlon freely, with
out any mental reservation otr purpose
of evasion; and that I will w'ell and
faithfully discharge tile duties of the
?ffice on whicK l am about to enter.
So help me Cod."
It seems to us that anyone who
Would refuse to make tfiftS simple de
claration of loyalty to Ainv?fri6an prin
cipals is unfit to be entrusted with
the training of future Ametf Can cit
izens.
THE LONG StlFFEWKG MOTORIST
The motorist is a helpless victim of
taxation because there is no pftUitfeal
substitute for gaaiolMe.
For almost any other coaifrnottity thd
consumer cAh use a substitute.
But when it c6mes to gasoline, it's
pay the or stop driving.
The states started taxing gasoline
"ampderately" but, as with all special
taxes, the gas tax soon became exorb"
Itant.
Then the federal government decided
to take its pound Of flesh from tifoe
motorist.
Motorists have it in their poW^r to
demand a reduction of efcoftxit&nt gafl
taxes, including the actdal repeal of
the federal gas tax.
They also have the right to demand
that gasoline taxes be not used for
other than road purposes.
WJjen taxes run from 26 to 60 $er
cent of the retail price of any article,
as the gasoline tax does, it is trigh
time to correct the aJbtisfe.

FOURTH ENJOYED
AT HERMITAGE LAKE
The fourtfh was enjoyed hi Camden
and surrounding sections by cnany
hundreds of our citizens attending
the gala program at Hermitage Lake.
The owners of motor boats were
genavous in carrying all those wish
ing to ride for a trip over the lake.
Many availed themselves of the oppor
tunity of riding over this beautiful
body of water.
The ohildreri thoroughly enjoyed
bathing in tih<e lake and ipdcnic part
ies could be seen on all sides enjoy
ing a days outing with their families
and friends.
(D?a Carrison won the 60 yard dash
in the swimming contest. 'Shell', mot

of the motor boat race.
A delightful fish supper, prepared
under the direction of Herman Baiush
was enjoyed by hundreds at dusk, tab

ed Area for use of tftve picnic parties.
The .restoring of the Hermitage
Lake dftsn was one of the inmost worth- 1
while projects undertaken by the CWA
officials cooperating with the Mer
chants association of Camden under
the direction of John T. Mackey. It
is being stocked with government fish
and in a short time fishing rights
will be sold and this sport can be en
joyed by all at a small cost.
Neighbors complained that Henry

Car Buyers Prefer Knee Action
Conclusive proof of the motoring
public's demand for knee-action, de
monstrating that buyers not only
want it but are willing to pay the
small extra charge for it, is presented
in the Chevrolet Motor Company's
announcement that only three per
cent of the purdfoasers of the Mast
er de luxe mjodels, which may be had
either with knees or the conventional
front axle, order the conventional
type suspension.
William E. Holler, Vice President
and General Sales Manager, who an
nounced the comparative figures, de
clares that the proof of the knee act
ion acceptance is all the more positive
because knee-action requires an out
lay of $20 additional.
"When we announced last January,
said Mr. Holler, "tfhfat knee action
would be optional equipment at a
small extra charge, I underestimated
the hold that the improved suspen
sion had already taken on the mot
oring public. I gave out a statement
estimating that 90 per cent of the
purchasers of the de luxe models
would order knee action. Instead it
waa97 peT cent.
This percentage is [based on figurea|
for sales beginning in March. Be
fore that we were not in heavy pro
duction on conventional axle Master
models. In Mardh, 97.2 of our orders
wore for knee action cars; in April,
90.3 per cent; in May, 98.7; and in
June, 97.5 per cent.
Kneo action got off to a great start
in 1934, its first year. More than
half of all cars registered in the Uni
ted States last year had some form
of knee action. Until this year, how
ever, we could not tell whether people
were buying cars with knee action
becauso they pref erred thetn to the
conventional axles, #ri(hce no other
mako of oar gave buyers their choice
of either form of suspension. TIMs
year, Chevrolet, by (making knee
action optional, has given the public
its chance to register its preference,
ard knoo action has won overwhelm
ingly.
