DR.'CLARKE DELIVERS ADDRESS 1
AT KIWANIS CLUB LUNCHEON I
. (
The program at Tuesday's Kiwanis ;
club was In charge of A. C. Drawdy.
He invited Dr. Maurice Clarke, rector
of Grace Episcopal church to address (
the club and be chose as bis subject,
"England's Part in the Second World
War." Dr. Clarke having been born
in England and lived there for many
years, graduating from both Universlty
and Theological Seminary, he was
fully qualified to give a most Interesting
and true picture of his subject.
He stated that the war up to the present
has been quite different from
what was anticipated by all of England,
the Blitz Krieg, so long talked
about, had not come to their shores. ,
In Poland they had suffered from the '
German Invasion but the west had not ,
been attacked. England's part was (
to control the seas, cuttl??? *" i
ports of necessities into Germany and j
most of her exports. Interesting fig- ,
ures were given to show that in spite ^
of the dramatic successes talked of (
by Germany against the English merchant
and naval fleet, the English ^had rebuilt,
until they now have only 18o,- j
000 tons less than when the war be-,
gan. The loss to shipping by the allies
and the neutrals up to now has
amounted to 1.823.000 tons destroyed,
but 60 per cent of this was to neutral (
shipping and 40 per cent to the Brl- f
tish and French. .
There was an unusually large at- (
tendance at the meeting and all ex- ^
pressed themselves as enjoying the
Interesting talk. s

and repair of tho fence around
the.held, regradlng of the county road

entrance to the airport and the inHtftll&tion
of new steel gates
The need of gates that can be locked
is imperative as vandals have
started to use the landing field for a
race track and as a result furrows
have been cut into the surface Petting
parties have established a parking
place on the far side of the field
and there is a well defined motor
roadway across the area to the far
side where necking may be indulged
in without fear of interruption.
While in Camden Mr. Martin issued
notice that ships with narrow skids

Listen Folks; That
Man Is Coming Soon
Everyone is hln own confession writer,
Uncle 8am 1? going to give you
a chance to write your own. He is
going to send a man around to take
it down.
That fellow Is the conaua taker.
He'll bo on every man's doorstep beginning
April 2. He will be playing
a little game of 37 questions. Every
fourteenth person on whom he calls
gets to play a game of 19 additional
questions.
Thoy aro the ones who will have
tho real fun. They'll get a chance
to tell all about their love life If they
aro women. No questions asked if
you are a man. But If the lucky fourteenth
Is a woman then "how many
times married?", "age at first marriage?",
"number of children born?' ,
and In reply to the latter, don t try
and bo smart and say "all of them."
It can cost you a fine of $300 to refuse
to glvo information to a census
man. And that goos for giving phoney
Information too.
There will be a premium on quick
thinking. Quick now! Is there running
water In your house and la it
pressure, gravity or on tap with bath
tub or shower, or pressure, gravity, or
on tap without bath tub or shower, or
perhaps hand-?pumped Inside house,
or no water Inside homo.
If deductions are made from yohr
wages or salary Tor federal old-afce
insurance?hurry up now?Is it deducted
from "all of wages or salary,
or is it "part of wages or salary, onehalf
or more," or "part of wages or
salary, under half," or is it just plain
"none of wages or salary?"
What do you owo on tho homestead?
The census man will want to
know that, and what you think the
place would likely rent for if you
were lb rent It. *
Where Were You?
The old district attorney question
of "where were you on the night of
December 22?" doesn't come up quite
in that form, but the census man will
want to know whether you were at
work, seeking work, or with a Job
during the week of August 6 to 12,
1939. Think hard, mate. Between <
August 6 and August 12?H'mm! and
"how many hours did you work that
week?"
By the way, "where were you living
on August 4, 1934?" The perennial
question of who wears the pants
in the household may come back tb
plague the census-takers as they define
"homcmaker" as "the woman. 4$
years of ago or over, responsible for
the management of tho home."
No wonder the United States senate
has started an investigation into census
snooping.
Episcopal Dog
