American* throughout the country J have boon called upon by Norntun H. DuvIh, national chalrinan o/ tho Ana* ci lean Itod Croee, to aaaiet In rataing a fund of $1.out),000 urgently needed, in China for refugee relief work. In a letter uddreaaod to Oliver It Ice, chairman of the Camden and I Kerahaw county Hed Crt>e? chapter, | Mr .Davie pointed out that the need* i in China worn appalling, ajul that men, women and children who are Innocent victims of conditions there "are no more responsible for their pitiful plight than"*lf they were Buffering from a great cataclysm of nature." "KeportB from American consular officials and business men In China detail conditions unbelievable to most1 I Americans," Mr. itlce said. "Even in Shanghai, where relief work has been fairly efficiently organized trucks make morning rounds collecting refugees who have died on the streets; during the night from exposure and J starvation The typhoon season is in j full swing there now, with attendant j rains and -winds, and millions of the! homeless victims are wandering over; the countryside fruitlessly searching! for food and shelter." He pointed out, too> that the num-j ber of refugees was constantly growing. and that conditions away from coastal cities are Indescribably wretched. Hundreds of villages, ho said, had been completely demolished. and thousands of civilians were without medical assistance of any sort to care for their ills or wounds resullng from exislting conditions. Since the commencement of hostilities in the Far East, Mr. Rice said, the American Red Cross has received] 1170,000 from the public for transmis-! sion to China, and has appropriated! $200,000 from its national treasury in addition for this purpose. The Red; Cross Is hoping to raise a minimum j of $1.000,000 as quickly as possible to be sent for the relief of these mil-i lions of victims. Contributions should be addressed to Harold Funderburk, treasurer of Red Cross, Camden, S. C. The quota for Camden and Kershaw county is set at $55. jem|j redcross Five Announced For Governor of State Columbia. May 14?John Hughes Cooper. 53-year-old Columbia attorney,!

These four days will be spent doing tuberculosis work in i-.ee county. Since the Early Diagnosis Campaign began on April 1, fifty-four persons have been x-rayed. Appointment's have been made for sixty-one Others to receive x-ray examination within the next few weeks. The reresponse to this phase of the program has exceeded expectations. It had boon interest at feast one hundred persons having a positive tuberculin test in following this test with an x-ray examination. The number who have already made application for x-ray examination is one hundred and thirty-four. TOSSIN* THE BULL (With Skipper) A shortage of fish oil for medical purposes is threatened. The supply ot banana oil however never seems to diminish. r ? * Mebbe the answer to why our British cousins and friends up in Canada think this is the old Wild West is because of such newspaper headlines as "Indians Take Two Scalps in Detroit," and "Cubs Scalp Braves." Windshield stickers show that headlights are okeh?but there are no assurance the driver has enough sense to dim his lights when meeting traffic. t ? The city council of a Wisconsin city set a good example in no uncertain terms the?other day when it voted unanimously to deny a license to a carnival company which had appeared in that city every summer for many years. Because this particular carnival was considered the "least objectionable" of any shows visiting the city in many years, denial of the petiation was taken as an indication that no carnivals will be licensed in that city for some years. They assert that no matter how good a carnival may be it is just a "gyp." The English language improves right along. When you remove a wart now you call it a "surgical excision" and a cold sore is a "vesicular eruption" accompanying a febrile condition. * Japan's premier has made a brave speech in which he declares he will not be intimidated. Well It is usually easy to keep one's courage up a thousand miles behind the line of fire * A steamer reports sighting a dust storm far out at sea. Well, that is the very best place we can think of for a dust storm to b?*. And speaking of dust storms, we just found out that it was the fringe of one that made the sky so glassy and murky last Sunday. That chap on The State who got so sarcastic because we predicted that Dauber would be in the front line; when the Preakness was run. was quite profuse in his apologies toward a Camden writer. Chaps, the Alvin Untermeyer horse. who was at the Cntermeyer stables here a greater part of the training season. Is another Camden horse that is going places this summer By the way. this is something to think about If it concerns a nobody It is back-fence gossip?but?if it concerns somebody?it Is front page news. Tosses in the Towel. Alburquerque, N. M . May 13.?1 o I W H. Salter, hotel manager, came a I towel and i>0 cents the sender said was to pay for its nse since I stole it years ago." The ex-guest said he had Joined a religious sect and was "learning howto make restitution." President Roosevelt has rep?ated his appeal for contributions to relievo the "appalling and increasing distress of innocent sufferers in China." Bethune Students Stage Strike as Teachers are Asked to Resign illy Associated I'reaa) Bethiyve, Ma> lt>- A number of U? thunti high school students went oil u "strike" today in pro teat over the dismissal of a group "Of teachers. Spokesmen for the students said they were demanding the re-election of all teachers. Several of the teachers, it was said, had been asked to. resign. Leaders of tile strike said they would not return to the classrooms until their demands are met. When a majority of the students struck this morning. Mrs. Kathleen Watts, of Camden, county superintendent of education, went to the school and sought to settle the disagreement. She asked the students either to enter the school building and resume their work or leu^e the school grounds. The students then went into the public library across the street. Bethune Student Strike Bethune. May IS?All but twentyfour students of one hundred thirtylive refused to attend classes Monday and Tuesday, and the students say that school will not be resumed until all the teachers are re-elected and the superintendent is dismissed. The trouble came to a climax when the boaryl of trustees re-elected* the superintendent and the superintendent. ner.&onally asked u'n.e of the thirteen teachers to hand him their resignation by a specified time. The board of trustees and superintendent could not give the students sufficient reasons for asking the teachers for their resignations. As some of the pupils were trying to keep the other few students, who wish to enter the building, front en-' tering the chairman of the board of trustees drew an open knife on two of the high school students. This matter and the dismissing of two of the teachers for no reason whatsoever caused the confusion to grow hotter. The ladles of the community then took on themselves to try and settle the trouble without any ill feeling. They went to the board of trustees and asked that a meeting of the patrons and the trustees be arranged, they would not under any etrcumstancee agree to a meeting of this kind because the people are against the superintendent. All teachers were present every morning for regular work and no teacher at any time refused to enter the school building but this statement had no foundation. Mrs. Kathleen Watts, county superintendent of education, was called to the scene to try and reason with the students to resume their work but they only greeted her with their demands. She made no headway whatsoever tn settling the trouble. She then asked the students to either enter the school building and resume their work or leave the school grounds the students went into the public highway in front of the school building. The leaders of the student strikers still hold out that they will not resume their school works until their demands of re-election of all the school teachers and the dismissal of tho superintendent. D. M. Mays, Jr May 18, 1938 Students Return to Classes Betllune.
