NATIONAL CHAIRMAN CALLS
FOR ADDITIONAL RELIEF FUNDS !
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.

TUBERCULOSIS WORK TO BE
CONTINUED IN THE COUNTY
The Keniliaw County Delegation in
the. goner*! aaaeinbly included In the
Mipply hill the autn of ttve hundred
doilara to aupplhiuunt Hindu ralaod for
tuberculoaiH control during the 1U37
Chnatmua Seal Sale This appropriation
together with un additional u
mount provided by the South Carolina
Tuebrculoaia Aaeociallon will make it
poaeiblu to keep the nurse in the
county for the rest of the year with
the exception of four days in each
month. 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.

A shortage of fish oil for medical
purposes is threatened. The supply
ot banana oil however never seems
to diminish.

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.

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.
