Tenth Annual Term
For Baron DeKalb
The tentn annual commencement of
the Huron DoKalb high school wus
held lust Monday eveuluK. Juno 3,
with the fifteen members of the graduating
class entirely In charge of the
program. The theme of the program
was the commemoration of the
school's docouulul. The class, with
each member contributing a phase o(
the history of tho school, traced tts
development from the time that It
was only an Idea In the minds of a
few people to the present when It Is
recognized as one of the most modern
and progressive rural consolidated
schools In the state. An Impressive
fact brought out In the progress was
that whereus eleven years ago there
were approximately twelve pupils
within the present school area who
were attending school beyond the eldmentary
level, there were this year,
from the same area, one hundred and
forty-six pupils enrolled in the secondary
department of the school.
Further facts showed too that attendance
upon school had not been an
ultimate objectlvo within Itself. Actual
statistics Indicated that, while
the school can not yet boast of any
state or national celebrities, 11 can
point with pride to the high percentage
of Its former pupils who are now
profitably employed. Other class
members emphasized that In the future
as In the past It would be tho
policy of the school to pattern Its activities
and developments after the
needs of the Baron I>eKalb community
rather than wander In blank Imitation
of larger and different type of
school systems.
Duo tribute was paid to those who
contributed to the upbuilding of the
school. Platform guests were the present
board of trustees?K. C. Etters,
P. A. McDowell, F. N. Gay, H. L.
Smyrl, J. W. Sowoll, S. C. Truesdale
and It. II. Young; 8. \Y. Hornaby, a
board member at the time of the
school's consolidation in 1930; Mrs.
Kathleen B. Watts, county superlntend^nt
of education; and James H.
Hope, state superintendent of education.
Mrs. Watts and .Mr. Hope each
*poke briefly concerning the remarkable
progress mado by the school during
the brief span of ton years, Resect
wan accorded the two deceased
trustees, tho late J. C. Hilton and N.
B. Workman. Recognition was given
W. M Gladden, a former member of
the board, who moved from the community
some years ago.

MAKE APPLICATION AT ONCE
IF ELIGIBLE FOR MATTRE88
The Surplus Commodity Department
of the Federal Government la
making available to low Income farm
families 60 pounds of cottou and 10
yards of ticking used In making a
mattress. A low Income farm family
is defined as a family with an income
, less than |400 per year, half of which
is derived from the farm. Apjrticai
tlons for this material may be secured
from the farm and home agent's office
located In the Agricultural Building.
Any farm family, whether white or
colored, wage hands, sharecropper's,
tenants, or owuora are eligible to
make application. After applications
have been approved by county AAA
committeemen, individuals will make
mattresses at given points throughout
the county under the supervision of
trained supervisors.
To date 1,800 applications have
been recelvod out of a possible 3,000
eligible farm families.
If you aro eligible and have not
made application, it is most Important
that you secure a form and application
immediately ,since no applications
will be received after June 15, is
the advice given by Margaret Fewell,
home demonstration agent, and W. C.
MoC'arley, county agent.
The British Home secretary has ordered
internment on the Isle of Man
of all German and Austrian women in
England who previously had been under
police restrictions. Under the decree.
all enemy alien women between
the ages of 16 and 60 will be Interned.
It was explained that the women can,
if they wish, take children under 16
with them.
WILL OIL 8HORTAOK BtAT HIM?
It is almost Impossible to predict
with any probability of accuracy thp
developments which may occur In I1*?
war now raging In Europe.
While Hitler's war machine, probably
the greatest lu the history of the
world, rides to surplalng successes on
the wheels of his mechanised units,
the general conclusion of observers Is
that Der Fuehrer Is gambling everything
on an early victory over the Allied
nations.
For example, tako the question of
oil. There have been many attempts
to estimate the quautlty of oil that
Germany had stored for the present
blitzkrieg / We have read several Interesting
articles during the past year
discussing the oil situation in Ger.
many, and most of them conclude
, that It is the Achilles heel of the
German war maclue.
During the world war, Germany
was reduced to the use of substitutes
i for lubrication. In the present strug'
gle, the Allied blockade Is as tight as
! ever and there is every reason to believe
that a shortage of oil will crip'
pie the German war machine much
' Quicker than It did in the first world
war.
Certainly, the Nazi bltzkrleg Is based
upon prodigious use of trucks,
pianos and tanks. They require oil
1 to operute and the consumption of the
precious fluid in the campaign In
1 Northern France and Belgium is maI
ny times as grout as It was in the
I warfare of 1H14-18.
Along this line, H. B. Ellison, writing
In the Christian Science Monitor,
reviews the German oil supply. He
estimates German yearly production,
Including Roland, together with Imports
from Rumania and Russia, at about
4.500,000 tons a year. In preparing
for the war, Germany accumulated
o!l along with other raw materials
and he estimates that these stocks
J amounted to about 3,000,000 tons. The
I loot In the low-countries might total
another 1,000,000 tons. This would
give Germany about 8,500,000 tons
when the blitzkrieg began.
A conservative estimate of consumption
by the German war machine
engaged in widespread activity such
as that now going on, is at least 12,000.000
a year. This leads M. Ellison
to the conclusion that If the Germans
blitz stroke does not bring the Allies
to their knees in a matter of weeks,
the Germans will face a shortage of
oil that will stall their war machine
and pave the way for an early victory
for the Allies.
This is an Interesting conclusion,
particularly comforting in view of the
significant advances made by Germany
In the first two weeks of the blltzkrleg.
Whether the figures are accurate,
or the conclusions correct, remains
to be seen. Certainly, they
lead us to believe that unless Herr
Hitler can win his war this year, he
Is not apt to win it at all.?Orangeburg

efficient scholl principle, miss Jennie

after all was said aud done, rev.
will walte, our local mtuister, had to
preech the backy-laurate serwont. the
man they thought was coming over
from georgy to do so could not get
off as he had entered pollltlcks, and
has no time on his hands for outside
intrusts, he believed in the purge
verry strong when it was being put
on and Is sorry that It did not succeed.
he says his state Is verry poorly
rep person tod all the way from the
kurrlner's offls to the u.s. senate, he
rote that he would straighten out evverthlng
. . . when he got In. he did
not say "where."
The chief attraction on the commencement
program was a short Interlude
danced by misses Jennie seeve
and sallle veeve smith betwixt the
first and secont act of the play entitled?"who
broke the lock on the henhouse
door." they done a little bit of
rumba and hula and Charleston and
black-bottom and then the curtlng
went up. a large concourse pf loved
ones and friends was present to see
the charade and allso enjoy their children
in the manny plays and speeches
Indulged in.
some excitement took place whan
one of the high scholl girls dropped
a lit cigarette on some of the moss
scenery and set It on flre. but the

I done much dammage, except burnt up
the theme song which was rote on a

things Is going on and this Is not the
first time he has stopped a hig flre
just befoar It got started. It was all
a big suckcess and Is another laurel

POLITICS ARE WARMING UP IN

him drop: he knew.ri^ht then that

asked him if ho would give him the
flat rock post offis if he would support
him for president, up to going
to press, ho has not rote back as yet.
our old mayor, as usual, is running
but saying nothing, our poleesman is
allso quiet on pollltlcks. ho wants to
hold his job no matter who gets in or
gets out. our pressent mayer has a
stanglehold on flat rock's pollitical
set-up and gets eleckted ever time he
runs, he has not done nothing for
flat rock in 10 years except put in a
new pump in the town well, but he is
against whiskey and that gets the
wimmens votes: he drinks verry little
himself except at nfght, so his opponents
say,
the other gentermens (?) who is
running for offls are in fawor of
bigger and better armaments and a
bigger navy and they say they would
like to see as much as five thousand
dollars spent for air planes if necessary
and two thousand dollars spent
for auntie-aircraft guns, but they are
not afraid of gemanny coming over
