Drive For Funds For The Children's Home i It in now about me usual time that I we start thinking about the drive for ' fimda that we will have to put on for the meanu to support the Children's Home for the coming year, starting March 1.

We also have been able to secure good homes for more children I this past year than In any year sluee ' we have operated. We believe that | the best luterest of the people of i Kershaw county .can be served by this home by obtaining homes for the greatest number of children possible. I Our idea is to take in under-fed and under-nourished children from sources I that cannot support them and build ! them up and make them strong and j healthy and secure good permanent homes for them where they will grow up as individuals and not just as members of our Children's Home. Our 1 drive will not start until late in February and further notice and advertisements of this drive will appear in the paper from time to time, and we hope that it will meet with the entire liberal response from the people j of this county. We thank you for your paBt support and solicit your support for this coming year.?Margaret J. Mayfleld, President.

Garden Hints At a recent meeting of the Camden Qafden Club the following garden hints were read: All cleaning up and sawing off of Injured limbs may be done during the remainder of January. Holes for transplanting may be prepared. Those roses we have dreamed about may become actualities. Many kinds and inexpensive too, may be purchased from various dealers. Old arbors and new wire can be put up and repaired for the climbers. Every shrub and rose, especially those planted last year -can be fertilized outside the former hole. Vines should be pruned while the sap is not running. Cedars from the woods and dogwoods will do well if planted now. Prune the dogwoods and shear the cedars all over. They will be more - likely to live. _ On e good day some perennials may be divided and young plants set out, such as coreopses, physostegta," elderdaisles/ pOldenglow * jmd others. If your sweet peas have ; been kilted, sow again, tftey may do well. Look at your enonymous bushes If scales show, spray with scalecide . a few times, N - Old hedges may be trimmed and I gaps fitted jWittr ue w planter?

I Worst Air Disaster in History of Nation Goodwin, Ark., Jan. 15.?Appalled by the worst disaster of American planfc travel, volunteers struggled through knee-deep mud and water today to recover the mangled bodies of 17 persons killed by the crash of the luxurious air liner Southerner in an Arkansas swamp. Twelve men, four women and one child made up the 14 passengers'and crew of three who rode the ill-fated ship on the Memphis-Little Rock hop of the regular New York-Los Angeles flight last night. A department of commerce, official, viewing the splintered wreckage, said the cause of the accident probably never would be known'. Plane and bodies were torn to bits as the liner crashed through a dense growth of trees, scattering plane parts and the victims over an area 400 yards long and 75 yards wide. The wreckage came to rest in a water-filled bog. Tentative plans called for removal , of the bodies to Memphis, with a further effort to be made there at identification. Wagons bogging down, rescuers moved them out slowly on stretchers. 4 Among the victims was W. R. Dyes, Works Progress administrator for Arkansas; and Frank C. Hart, wealthy. New Yorker, president of the Hartol Products company. J. C. Crawford, crippled coroner of St. Francis county, was carried torturously on a stretcher through the swamps to the scene before dawn to, hold an inquest. I He was held aloft by four men, standing deep In water, as he examined the bodies, heard two farmers who said they saw the plane fall, and made notes in a small book by the light of lanterns. On stretchers, the bodies which had been recovered, were carried before him and, with the assistance of Cecil West of the Little Rock airport, who held a passenger list, he attempted Identification. The Corn Products company, producers of food' ' products, on the strength of the AAA decision, has announced reductions in wholesale prices of 10 to 13 cents per hundred pounds on its products. : ' 1 WAR War is hell, no matter what The tire within that makes it hot! , Masters, by their devious ways, Light the red, destructive blaze! 1 Talk of God and righteousness; 1 What are they In this dlstreBB? ,] Talk about the soldier's fame; Talk about the glory game; Tell us It Is good to die That a flag may flout on high.

J , - . - -. ! *? ? .1 1 THE ONLY THREE A moat Ironic "editorial" on the subject of apeed appears quite inadvertently in an engagement book issued by the New York Telepkouc Company. It preaenta the name of apeed record holders in three fields, as follows : Air, Lieutenant Francesco Agello of Italy, 440.29 miles per hour. Water, Garfield A. Wood of the United Stutes, 124.86 miles pur hour. Land, Sir Malcolm Campbell of England, 301.337 miles per hour. What a blow this rauBt be to the thousands of amateur speeders throughout the country! The only * places their names may appear Is on" the police blotter or the obituary ^ page. Statistics show, according to the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, that 6,860 persons were killed and 134,300 injured In automobile accidents during 1934 as the dl reet result of excessive speed. But ? . the statistics cannot show how important a/factor speed was in nearly every otfter cause on the motor accident calendar. Driving cars too fast for conditions played a prominent part in thousands of accidents charged to vlo-" lating the right of way, cutting in, passing a standing street car, passing on a curve or hill, driving off the 21$ road way. and reckless driving. r.__ The smart, twentleth-cehtury attitude on speed Is that it is no longer a question of how fast you can go, but of how fast you can stop. ? Remember that excessive speed is relatively so Insignificant that out of the whole world only three names are given any mention for it.?Industrial Ne^rs-Review?
