I can remember way back when
Chicago radio stations observed a sijent
night each Monday to give listeuers
a chance to tune iu or out ot
town stations. And I remember the
tin ears we. contacted from wearing
heavy ear phonefe until 3 or 4 A. M.
while wo tried to get Harry Snodgrass,
the prison pianist In Jefferson
City.

I wonder what Don meant the other
day when in respouae to my hale
and hearty "Well Donnie nte boy,
how's the world treating yob?" He
replied. "Not very often."
Speaking of baseball, sofbball and
the like. There wasn't much real
baseball dished up In that'CamdenManning
game last Thursday. A lot
ot fau^ turned out to see Lefty Mc#uut
his wares, but It wasn't
the day for the southpaw. It took the
Manning lads a few frimes to sound
him out and then?wham?they hit
him fast and furious. Rlgglns went
In and fared little better.
.
And while the Camden Juniors
were taking it on the chin from Manning,
Jake Haynes* Starlets were given
a workover by a nice-working
group ot maidens from Hartsvllle.
The usual snappy defense and hardhitting
offense of the Starlets was
missing and we frankly admit the
home gang was lucky to lose only by
a 13 to in score.
The Haynes-Kendall Softball game
Kheduled for last Friday night had
to be postponed owing to the absence
of the Kendall team from the Bailiwick.
Captain Artie Robinson's had
a date with Conway, arranged before
the city league schedule was made up.
The two teams will play off the game
in a double-feature later.
* *
Seems like old times at the Softball
arena. Even Generalissimo Lilly,
who used to pilot the Merchant's team
two years ago, motors over to the
games and last Wednesday did a nice
job of umpiring at first. "Pop" Halle,
Dr. Corbett. John Villepigue and others.
former gallery gods, are back
again in the old haunts out in far

But to get into the big topic of the
day?WAR. Up to the end of last
wf.uk so f?r nothing of a definite nature
regarding what Italy was doing
known Guess nobody's back had
been turned.

The French finally got the Germans
running around in circles?but
it happened to be around Paris.

Shaking of speed, speed and more
spt^d Would suggest our congressmen
and senators take a slant at
*hat happened in France. The Nazis
move with speed. That is jupt how
*e must move if we are to avoid
*"hat has happened to France and
about ten other nations. Hitler and
Mussolini are bad eggs and if Hitler
decides to come to Fort Knox to grab
?ur gold and Mussolini wants to return
the dagger to Roosevelt, we
must be ready. And getting ready

time military grandeur colored dedication
today a huge uuit at the Wright
Aeronautical corporation plant which
will he capable of turning out 1.000
airplane motors weekly.
Guy W. Vaughan, company president,
referred to the peak capacity
and the record 57-day plant tonatiuction
with the assertion:
"Another such type building can be
erected lit case this country needs it
for defense purposes."
A dozen army planes droned overhead
during the exercises which were
oombined with a ttag day celebration
by the city. Seveu thousand spectators
watched a parade of 1,000 men.
moat of them Wright employees, two
tanks and the entire motorized equipment
of the New Jersey National
Guard'e 16.5th Field artillery.
Army, navy and marine officers, inspected
the plant afterwards.
The series of connected building
add 540,000 square feOt of floor space
to facilities. Each uuit was put in
operation as soon as completed and
Is practically all In use now.
A penknife weighing 42 pounds and
having 1.851 blades is the largest ever
made. It is valued at more than
$7,600.
to do everything wo would do If we
were to wake up some morning and
find that the French army has been
wiped out, the British navy surrendered
and Hitler and Mussolini loaded
troop ships for a dash across the
sea for an American invasion.
*
Gosh, what with the heat and the
war news the past week has sure
been a tough one for everybody.
*
Now that Germany has beaten
France to her knees, Hitler will probably
give his forces a rest for several
weeks and then with the aid of the
wops launch a blitzkrieg against England.
* ? ?
With all duo respect to the New
Deal we agree with a writer for the
Charlotte Observer who calls attention
to the fact that Roosevelt took
office at the same time Hitler came
into power in Germany, and while
Hitler with only a small fraction of
our resources has terrorized the
world and conquered Europe, we,
reputedly the strongest people on
earth, have shown ourselves incapable
of operating, let aloud defending
our own democracy.
*
For Instance, of all the blatherskitIng
rubbish dished up last week iu
Washington was the statement of
Madam Eleanor that she opposes compulsory
military training because she
doesn't believe the country is ready
for it. Take it from me madam that
is also what Herr Hitler Is banking
on.
Did you know that last Friday the
United States sent out war debt bills
to 13 natlonB. -Most- of them were
sent care of Adolph Hitler.
In Columbia the business men are
so exercised over the small gain made
by that city during the past ten years
they have started a movement to pay
a dime for the listing of the name of
every person who was not counted in
the census Just completed.
* m m m
It is interesting to note that all
over the country there is a note of astonishment
at the small increase in
the population of American cities.
What increase has taken place has
occurred in the rural districts of the
west aud midwest.
*
Speaking of the west and midwest,
we talked with a chap from Chicago
a few days ago and he said folks out
that way are amused at the hysteria
of the eaBt and south over the war
situation.
He says the folks out that way are
all for giving every aid possible^ to
the allies but to send American boys
overseas?NEVER. His suggestion
that the* senators and others who are
urging Uncle Sam to grab a gun and
I hop into the fracas right away, be
! among the first to enlist, otherwise
be dubbed cowards, Is a good one.
Visioning Hitler becoming the master
of all Europe, either in possession
of the British fleet or in possession
of shipbuilding facilities which are
many time? our own, in
Norway, Belgium, Britain and Holland,
the New York Times boldly declares
that the time baa come when.
In the interest of self protection, the
American people should at once adopt
a national system of universal compulsory
military training. We say
this as a newspaper which has never
before believed In the wisdom^ such
a policy in time of peace. We say it
because the logic of events drives us
remorselessly to this conclusion.
