Au/ust 2.". 1939. J 1 I Sanitary Plumbing and Heating I TELEPHONE 433-J I Estimate* Furnished on Short Notice I ELECTROL OIL BURNERS I I COMMENT? ON MEN AND THINGS' i (My Spectator) A lot of chaff comes with the f ?!ii ui. And woods grow wherever useful plants flourish. So in life, our ' modern progress brings with it a lot or norve strain and rubbish. Nothing i? capable of giving more pn a n.u than the radio and moyle. j ).i nothing so offends at times us the' inuxe and the radio. If the radio and' tin* movies are giving what the people j want And I assume that they are then our taste and intelligence are not high. What moves me at Hie moment,! however, it the blaring, frequent broadcasting of war announcements ami bulletins, if they don't drive us. Into frenzy we shall at least be "Jumpy" with nerves. And some peo- j pie leave their radios "on" so as to hear ull this. Here we are: LonUou, the children are being moved out. Chamberllan says ho has done his best. The Khrg fogot his tea. Purls, I The French uru holding themselves in. Streets are darkened. No wine is being sold. Berlin, Hitler uddressos a note to Mussolini. Hitler leaves palace. Troops marching. United States Ambassador called on Hitler. Home - President Roosevelt Bonds cable to the King. Nobody knew whore he was. Note Is given to Mussolini for the King. Washington ?President Roosevelt sits up all night reading dispatches from Europe. And this ull duy long and nearly all night. Suppose you had a wife, son or daughter in a hospital and received half-hour bedside broadcasts, like this; Sou a shade better. Temperature rising last fifteen minutes. Slight symptoms of nausea. Nausea developing. Son becoming dlscouruged. Son call nurse. Nurse calls doctor. Doctor comes out looking grave. Nurse rushing about. Hitler has not done anything that might not have been expected. The Germans are armed with every weapon and they know how to use the weapons. Moreover, the Germans are fine soldiers and they, as well as all Germany, are disciplined and j blindly obedient to authority. If Po| land did not expect a swift overrunning by German troops she did not know anything about German tactics In the World War. The Germans will conquer Poland quickly and then turn to meet Britain and France. The World War has begun. Germany invaded Poland and Britain and France declared w?r. If anything can be certain, Italy will Join Germany. What hope have we of keeping out? Britain will drive German and Italian commerce from the seas; German and Italian submarines will prey on British and French ships. American ships, and ships carrying Americans or American goods will be torpedoed and our national indignation will sweep us into the tide, as iu 1'JlT. Adolph Hitler must carry the blame I for all the suffering and slaughter which will come from tills war. That I om- man, with a dream of world empire, will cost Germany more than she can possibly gain. Ho starts a river | of blood that will wash him and his ambition away. G.in the nations make a treaty of peace and settlement which would be pi-rmuneui? Men say that the Treaty of Versailles laid the foundation for ( tins Hitler uprising, but what caused I the Japanese to despyil China? j Spectator must plow up some cot-i ton. And how does it i'eel? Well.) j just exactly as though a housewife] 'had baked a fine fruit cake and then 'had to throw it down a well. And I there you are. Everything agin the ' farmer and many things happening at oik Europe aflame, the United States agog, tile markets nervous and t. and my own cotton land risinup against me. Well. sir. too muen is enough, as Potash used to tell Perl' mm ter. When Chairman John T. SteveiiH of t lie State Highway Commission said -oniething about having no money tor highway construction he probably ne-atit that there was no money for low undertakings All about us we . e highway building and repair work on. so there must be money for tliat. or it would not continue. Mr Stevens is a man of large interests and has tie- habit of dismissing a mat ter when he makes a decision, so he jpiobahly thinks m terms of future 'contracts or entirely new projects wlu-n he says that there is no money 1 [for work. If Spectator is correct in 'this surmise there need not be any ' \ Jiff.-rem o between tile statement of Mr Stevens and that of Govern..; : .May-bank A the snnie time there ino reason why Spec tator should t ur . nuse. It would be interesting for : some one !n authority to tell what the Highway Department is now doing Let us ask that the financial condition I be given also. 1 Spectator observes that the publish . ed statements of gasoltne tax receipts convey the Idea that the Department has full monthly sum at Its disposal tr spend I used to think so. too Bui i recent study of the Bond Act?which i I think clearly unconstitutional, although validated by our Supreme Court -recent study, I repeat, shows that the roads are built by bond is. >11< s and that the law of 1929 expressly and clearly provides. It was a shock to me, but there it is in black and while. And it is (lie law of the laud. At the first of the year the High-J way Commission estimates the probable income and uses that Income. To pay county road bonds which may mature; i Interest oil county and state road bonds; I Complete projects already under j construction; Repair existing roads; Provide for general administration, engineers, superintendents, utc. Spectator lias, then, a more than' casual knowledge of what is being done, but would like to suggest thul a c lea rout statement be giveu the public, so that wo may see exactly what's: what. The war in Europe will create a demand for our foodstuffs. Tho best plan, 1 think, for our farmers is to produce what they consume. Most farms will produce rye and oats, as well as crops for hay. Certainly the yield will bo promoted through the use of lJine. Most of our laud, If limed, will produce wheat. Ordinarily, wheat is not a profitable crop with us, but if flour should skyrocket as it did In 1917 we should find wheat profitable. It Is too early for wheat, but rye may be planted this month, oats next month and wheat In November and December. Raise some hogs, ?too. Remember that when prices advance rapidly we must buy as well as sell. Sinkings, disasters, aud all the horrors of wajf, are being squawked over the radio and shouted through 4he streets day and night. We must grow accustomed to horrors and to avoid hysteria. It was bad enough during the World War to open the paper and find great head lined, telling of the sinking of two or three ships the day before and the bombing1 of a town; but now If we must have i a dozen radio broadcasts for each sinking and a dozen more for each i bombing, with extras yelled all overj town every hour?say, war Itself 1b less nerve-racking than all this. Most of us are, at heart, with the HrTflsh, French and Poles, but we know the power and ruthlessness of Germany. 12 RHODES 8CHOLAR8HIP8 OF U. 8. ARE 8U8PENDED Swarthmore, Pa., Sept. 8.?Suspension of 32 American Rhodes scholarships because of the war was announ-j ced today by Dr. Frank Aydelotte.i American secretary of the Rhodes trustees.

Child Safety And Motorists "School openings mean something to every driver of an automobile or truck in South Carolina, whether he has a child in school or not," Bald Wilbur S. 8mith, Traffic Engineer of the State Highway Department today. I>aBt year one out of every ten who died in traffic accidents was a child of school age. Four out of every five ! deaths of children of school age resulted from pedestrian accidents. During school months children are exposed to traffic in going to and from j school in addition to exposure from their normal activities. "Safety education to train children how to avoid dangers in traffic is now required in South Carolina schools," said Mr. Smith, "but to the driver is allotted the final responsibility of preventing tragedy if the child does pot follow his safety training." In the hours of school opening and closing, motorists should be particularly careful to observe all signs notifying them of school zones. School buses, in general use now to transport and protect children, were reported in sixteen accidents last year, none of which was fatal. Ten j of the accidents resulted in personal injuries, nine of those injured being children. All motorist are required by law to come to a full stop before passing a school bus which has stopped for the purpose of taking on or discharging children, and to remain stopped until the school bus has moved on. This is required not only of vehicles over-: taking and passing a school bus, but also of vehicles meeting'a bus headed in the opposite direction. "To eliminate most of the deaths in! traffic of children of school age, drivers need only to watch the road, keep control of their vehicles, drive I moderately in order to be able to stop quickly in an emergency. Observance of warning signs and correct driving habits will reduce such accidents to a minimum," said Mr. Smith, i "Your skill and caution can save I the child from injury or death, and yourself from the horror of running over a child."
