\ I Cruising v ^ with "Skipper" I -T.J "iv r ? v j \s m are going out on the limb? 1right out to the end, by predicting tho re-elect ton of Franklin D. Roosevelt for a third term. Aud our reason is simple. The manner In whloh the German nation Is mopping up in Europe a dtstlnce 'threat to the United Stales. Germany seeks to rule all of Kuropei It the armies of Hitler continue to achieve success In the future as they have already done so |ar In the war, the dreaiu Of the German dictator to be ruler ofc Europe will be realised., And then will come the desire to become ruler of the world. In the fuce of this situation It seems to us t tie re Is now no alternative but to kttep Roosevelt In power. We believe the majority of Americans will be reluctant to change horses In the middle of a mess such as the world Is in I red In.* 0 0 0 * l^ast Sunday was Mother's day. It is one day set aside as a tribute to the sweetest lady In the world) Why only one day of the year? If 1 had my life to live over again, If I could recall my sainted mother from that hilfside up In Wisconsin, I would ^oe that every day was mother's day. Like so many other things that go to i make up life on this mundane sphere, tin. present Is always a period of vain regret. -~y.\ . : r? l p In the old home town in Wisconsin they are embarking on a Class D baseball program., The daily paper requested suggestions for naming tlfe team The judges decided on 'Winnebago White Cajls."' Ye Gods, what a name for a baseball club. There was! sonn- relief when the paper took the bull by the horns and decided a j three word name was top heavy and <hlistened the sluggers "Panthers." Well, that's better, but what's the matter with some good -old nicknames like "Cubs", "Reds," "Red Sox," "browns," ?some name you can sort of spit out without twisting your tongue.^' ' ~ 0*00 Anyhow, we congrat the natives up in Fondy on getting back into pro ba-.-ball and we hop? Harry Rice will give the community a winning team. Rice, by the way was manager In DeLand of the Florida state league and of the Cordele, Ga., team. Back a score of years when Fondy was In the W. I. league, they turned 3Ut such baseball aces as Castey Stenjel, Mike Bancroft, Milton Stock, Pete Rusting, Jack Warhop, Burley Grimes, Pink Hawley and many others who really went places in the big time. Do you remember back last full fol lowing (he Oamden-Oaffoey high football game fhl? department had aome uide thing* ^ say about tlu? iiaffuey high baud, declaring it to be the topa of any playing ou the Oamdeu Held during the season. This baud weut to the southern band contest in' Florida last week and took first tenors in the H. division. The utuelo critics said it was ouo of the best small to^n groups they had ever llsteued to. Nelle Brooks SJtull thinks the country needs a woman President "as bad as a woman needs garters; to keep things from slipping." And for a long time we always assumed that women "rolled their own." A headline lu a state paper reads "Pests With IJs Despite Cold Weather." Why not say "including eold weather." An Italian speaker over the air last Sunday night said all Italy is of the | same mind as Mussolini. And what for heaven's sake, is on Mussolini's mind? * By the way, don't forget the polo game next Sunday. It will be Joe Bates and his Knights of Wateree against Charley DuBose and his Moonlight Knights. Ouch. Here is the way the foursomes will lineup. Wateree: Robertson, Little' Tupper and Bates. Camden: Burns, I DuBose, Boykln and Lightfoot. NufT aed. When We mentioned last week the fact that oldsters ^claimed that during ( the >forty years or more polo has been played on the number one Held there has not been a game in which the teams were ill/action when the Seaboard choo ehoo passed on the way to New York, we told the managing i editor that publicity would shatter * the jinx. Yes, slr-eve-e, It sure nuff did. Last Thursday in the fifth chukker of the : polo game the Seaboard rattler puffed by at a time when the polo players wpre doing an adagio over the turf. ? * So now Ancrum Boykin, Postmaster ( DuBose and a few others who have had their afternoons spoiled by the tension of wondering if "today is the day." The Jinx has been shattered and we'll wager the choo choo (will puff, by during many action periods from now on. * ?The Camden netters continued their fine play last Thursday by defeating j the Florence high net team. The, Camden ball club dropped a listless i game to Darlington the same after-1 noon. The game ^wotmd up the high { school diamond season. From now j on it will be Legion baseball and we hope the fans offer better support to this venture than they did to the high school program. The latest figures released by the British ministry of transport report that the sale of new cars In Britain fell 77.3 per cent during the "hrst four j months of the war as compared to the. corresponding months of 1938.' 1 , ? Burning of Cora Being Fought in Thia State Cooperation of law enforcement officers. In South Carolina to combat the stripping and burning of automobiles with Intent to collecting Insurance has resulted in the proaecutlou of a number of cases to be tried by courts in this state In May and June. The state's automobile association is bucking the light of officers to reduce such losses aud secure lower insurance rates for South Carolina. \ Some of the cases to be brought up soon are: Man, free under $1,000 bond, pending trial at llamberg, for allegedly burnlug automobile with intent to defraud lnsuror. Four llerekley county residents; one for allegedly stripping and burning his own car, doing the same to another man'js car, and automobile theft of a third car. free under fl.'SOO bond, pending a trial; two of the four car theft, bond $600 botid each pending trial; aud fourth, burning automobile of another person, $500 bond ponding trial. Three persons bound over in Orangeburg county; alleged conspiracy to defraud iusuror. One resident of Marlboro county; churge, burning car to defraud lnsuror. The South Carolina Automobile as[ sodatIon has -pointed out tlsat, "In New England states Ore insurance on automobiles costs the policyholder 25 cents to 60 cents per $100 of insurance. depending on whether the car . is new or old and the make of the car Insured. "In the Middle-Western states this same Insurance costs the policyholder 25 cents to 70 cents for $100 of insurance. In California it Is 20 cents to 50 cents and in South Carolina it is 95 cents to $1.50 per $100 of insurance ?the highest of state rates. In other words, the people of South Carolina 'are forced to pay five to seven times as much for fl^re protection on their automobiles as the people of California." a CLASSES PUT ON ANNUAL BANQUET AT BARON DeKALB SCHOOL The Junior class of Baron Deleft lb school entertained the seniors with Its annual banquet Friday evening, May 4 in the home economics department of the high school.
