City Council Dooms
Radio Interference
Camden has become one of the
first municipalities in South Carolina
to pass a legal measure that will assure
residents of good radio reception
and also eliminate a handicap that
has been of serious Import to radio
dealers.
At a meeting of the City Council
Tuesday evening the matter of an
ordinance to culminate man-made static
from the city was submitted and
passed. For months there has been a
flood of complaints regarding inter !
ference of so drastic a nature that at
times, radio reception was completely
blocked out.
The city udminjstration began an
Immediate check and found that some
of the disturbance was caused by
cheap electrical appliances, others by
mixing devices, motors, and the like,
while still other noises emanated from I
electric wires touching against the
branches of trees. Allegedly overloaded
transformers is another reported
source of loudspeaker Jitters.
The entire city appeared to be
blank ted at times with the interference.
so following many weeks of investigation.
the City Council decided
to promulgate a law that would throttle
a inajpr portion of the disturbance
sources.
The ordinance specifically provides
that any person or persons within the
? ity. using an electrical appliance that
interferes with radio reception of
neighbors, shall be required to discontinue
use of same or use the proper
condenser or choke coll to prevent
radio or audio frequency oscillations
being fed back into the electric distributing
system, or into the air,
thereby eliminating radio interference
to tho neighbors
The law provides further that any
person or corporation refusing to comply
with the terms of the ordinance
shall be deemed guilty of eommit t ing
a misdemeanor and shall he punished
by a tine of not more than $100 00 or
imprisonment with or without hard
labor upon the public works of the
city or upon 'he public work*5 of the
emit.';, to: a period not exceeding
thirty day p V

S'l p?T rent of risk.

night escaped death or possible injury
by minutes in an explosion which
wrecked the Buergerbrau Hall Munich's

"Clues inuicate that the plot originated
abroad", said a semi-official
statement. The clues were not disclosed.
Casualties were listed as Bix

The Berlin newspaper Zwoelf I'hr
Blatt. the first paper to publish the
news, .openly accused Great Britain.
"There is no doubt that the English
secret service has a hand in this
affair," it declared, predicting that the
mntter would be clarified "with German
thoroughness" and enemies of
the stale destroyed.
There were indications that the
Gestapo (secret police i and the
Sohhtzstaefel, Hitler's elite bodyguard.
were starting on a far-flung
spy hunt and it drive to remove agitators
opposing the Belch in politi s or
war.
The propaganda Ministry insisted
that so far as was known no distinguished
Nazis were among the dead.
I The terrific Mast brought down the
ceiling of the -spacious room, killing

antoug the old Nazi leaders who had
come together to celebrate the famous
putsh In 19211 that failed.

trusted comrades still ringing in his
| ears, was safe on an armored train

Why Do You Slow
Down In Winter?
Now that cold weather Is coming,
health authorities are again urging
everyone to "watch that vitality". As
some 09c has pointed out, the human
body may' be compared with a dwell'
Ing. In the summer months. It la little
trouble to proteot this "house"
from the elements. Summer weather
Is pleasant 1f rains come, they are
gentle rains. Summer winds are
warm winds. The "House" gets along
pretty well. But In winter, conations
change. Cold winds howl, cold rains
batter, nature Itself seems determined
to find out whether the human
"house" "can take It".
Some times our bodies can't. That
Is why the sickness curve goes shooting
up in the cold months. The inner
vitality of your body is Just not
ready to flght. You haven't enough
energy. You catch cold easily. All
your bodily energy is burned up by
the day-to-day Job of battling in the
cold, damp weather. If you aren't
going to be sick# you need extra energy
so that your body will have reinforcements
it can always call on.
Pleasant ways have been discovered
to give you this extra energy. One
of the most popular of them is cola
drinks, so well-liked here in America.
It is a proved fact that the predigested
sugars in carbonated cola drinks
aid digestion because they enter the
blood stream quickly and step up the
blood circulation. "Quick energy",
scientists call it.
Cola drinks have long been known
to have this value. They are made
from the cola niUkMJfl_Abi??.jEflsnection,
Mr. M. B. Morrow, of the Royal
Crown Bottling Company, calls attention
to the historical "believe it or
not" that French Boldler in Senegal,
making the greatest forced march any
troop ever made, lived exclusively on
cola nuts.
