Santee Floods '
J Jgwamp Lands
Columbia, Aug. 17.?The Congaree
[ river continued falling today after
high waters had driven out a number
of families In low-lying sections of
Ktchlund county and caused an unestlmated
amount of damage to corn
and other crops.
A preliminary Bed Cross survey
showed that six families had been
driven fropi their homes by rising
water. Their crops were a total loss
In some cases. (
A game department employe estimated
after a survey, Uoweyer, that
at least 20 families In the lower part
of the county had left tbelr- homes.
The estimate showed that the river
was bevdn miles wide at some points
but that high spots In the
swamps were still above water to
furnish haven for game and Btock. '
The Wateree river at Camden crested
30.6 feet about midnight and fell
to 29 feet this morning. The Broad
and Saluda above'Columbia also were
falling fast.
High water will hit th'e Fort Swamp
Junction of the Congaree and Wateree
to form the Santee, sometime
tonight and wide areas will be Inundated.
The Santee will feel full
force of the rising waters next week
Air Losses Encouraging
Through Tuesday. August 13th, the
British Air Ministry says that 3,119
German planes have been destroyed,
during the entire war, compared to
a British loss of 713 ships.
This is a ratio of mole than four
to one. If It Is correct, It Is a happy
augury for the successful defense of
Great Britain. Moreover, the figures
are probably correct because the
British have no reason to lead Americans
to believe that their Island is
safe, since they are looking to this
country to extend tremendous material
help In the prosecution of the pres
ent war.

Washington, I>. C., Aug. 17. The
House on Thursday passed the National
Guard mobilization bill, empowering
President Roosevelt to call out
some 396,000 guardsmen and Army
reservists for a year's active service
anywhere in the Western Hemisphere.
The National Guard bill wau approved
by a 242 to 33 vote after the
House defeated. 210 to 110, an effort
to limit use of the troops to the,
United States and its possessions.
While President Roosevelt has said
the chances are 100 to 1 that the
Guard will not be sent out ol the continental
Uttlted States, House leaders
urged defeat of the limitation on the
ground it would be misunderstood by
l^atin America and was "bad military
policy."
I The measure already approved by
the Senate, was returned to'the upper
house for action on relatively minor
amendments. It is expected to becottie
law sometime next week, and the
Guard called out in increments this
fall.
The calling of the National Guard,
would mean an addition of anywheie
from 150,000 to 200,000 to the regular
Army, finds no serious opposition in
any of the major population groups.
By a vote of 82 per cent or more, it Is
approved in all geographical sections
in all age groups, and from top to
bottom of the income scale. On few
issues have the people ever been so
unified.
Why the measure is popular can
clearly seen from the reasons given
by the people in explaining their attitude.
The first and main reason is
that "we must be prepared for emergency
with a sKiiied and trained
fighting force."
The second reason is that it is logl-,
cal to call upon the Guard because
they "already have a foundation of
training in tactics," so that it' would
be the easiest and quickest way to
augment the Nation's fighting force.
The bill is as follows: "Resolved
by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, that during
the period ending June 30, 1942,
the President be, and is hereby authorized
from time to time to order
Into the active military service of
the United States for a period of
twelve consecutive months each, any
4>r ail- members and unite-of any-or allreserve
components of the Army of
the United States, and retired personnel
of the Regular Arm>, wlth^
or without their consent, to such extent
and in such manner as he may
deem necessary for the strengthening
of the national defense; Provided.
That the members and units of
the reserve components of the Army
of the United States ordered into active
Federal service under this authority
shall not be employed beyond
the limits of the Western Hemisphere
except in the Territories and possessions
of the I nited States, including
the Philippine Islands.
"Sec". All National Guard. Reserve,
and retired personnel ordered
Into active military service of the
United States under the foregoing
special authority shall from the date
on which they are respectively required
by such order to report for duty
in such service, be subject to the
respective laws and regulations relating
to enlistments, reenlisiments, employment,
conduct, rights, and privileges.
and discharge of such personnel
in such service to the same ex(tent
in all particulars as If they had
been ordered Into such service under
(existing general statutory authorizations.
"Sec. 3 (A) Any member of any
reserve component of the land or naval
forces who is on active duty or
who may be assigned to active duty,
and any person so ordered into the
active military l?p lof the United
States, who in tl?* judgment of those

under this Jo'.nt resolution
shall be entitled to a certificate to

-ALL 8TAR9 GLITTER IN
CHARITY BATTLE
(Continued from pugo one)
u guard, and Floyd, at quarterback,
two Oglethorpe stars, did aome spectacular
work, especially Fletcher,
who runa like u scared rabbit. The
starting lineup of the Invaders found
Newton at center, Neal and Fletcher
at guard positions, Taylor and-Hilton
at tackle, Graves and Hammond at
ends, Floyd at quarter, Olyburn and
Mangum as backs and Small at full.
Coach Nettles of * the^Catttden team
sent out the followldfc starting lineup:
Howell at center, Bundrick and
Marshall ends, Oliver and W. L. Jackson,
tackles, Flowers and Cornell,
guards, Wooten and Cox, backs, Nolan
at quarter and Hendricks at full.
The game opened - with Camden
kicking off to Kershaw. The Bulldog
'Crew'ttttflped the visitors dead and
taking possession of the ball after
four attempts to make the required
yardage had failed, the locals carried
the ball to the Kershaw three yard
line where the visitors braced and
hejd. Kershaw kicked out and Cox
returned the ball to the Kershaw 25.
Bundrick raced around right end for
15 yards as the quarter ended.
In the second quarter the play was
in Kershaw territory. Camden gradually
forged to the 10 yard line from
where Hendricks, playing a midseason
brand of ball, went over on a spinner
play through center. Cox passed
to Wooten for the extra point but the
pass was incomplete.
At this Juncture Coach Nettles sent
In seven reserves, Including Bell,
Llghtfoot, Haynes, Wilson and others.
Camden kicked off and after several
scrimmage plays, Floyd faded back
and threw a long pass which Wooten
intercepted and carried back* to the
Kershaw 30 yard line. Bell hurled a
flat pass which was interOepted, but
a minute later Bell intercepted a pass
from Floyd and on the first play Bundrick
cut loose for a 20 yard gallop.
Bell then flred a beautiful pass to
Jack Marshall, which was gathered in'
by the lanky boy, and advanced 15
yards. Bell then passed to Bundrick
who cut loose for a substantial gain.
On the next plfiy.Bell a perfect
pass to Wootep-. who raped over for
the second touchdown. Bell then fired
a long spiral to Haynes, but the
ball slithered off the tips of Jake's
outstretched hands . and fell incomplete.
Camden kicked to Kershaw
who failed to make, the necessary
gain. Camden took the ball and Bell
began his sharpshooting anew, Bundrick
and Marshall alternating at taking
the passes to advance the bail
down the field. The half ended at
this Juncture.
The second half^was somewhat of
a'l^pfetiHOTl -gfTTrr highlighted
by a spectacular run by Cox,
who carried over for a touchdown.
Cox then kicked the extra point with
Johnny Flowers doing a swell job at
holding the ball. That ended the scoring.
Kershaw's only threat came in the
closing minutes of the game when
some pretty running by Fletcher and
Floyd carried the ball down to the .
Camden 20 yard line. But Camden
held and taking the -ball, began
marching with Cox throwing some
nice passes. Marshall was at the receiving
end and did some splendid
kangeroo Jumping as he snared the
ball out of the air.
The camp fund was enriched to the
extent of over $200, which ^s the biggest
take of the three' years the charity
classic has been staged. The officials
contributed their part of the
program sb did the group from Chester.
The Chester tean| was accom.
panied to Camden by a big delegation
and the sporting spirit was quite to
the fore. The Kershaw players entered
into the spirit of the event and
played a beautiful game.
While the 1941 game'Is tar over
the horizon, it can be Paid at this )
time that Sumter will be invited to
send a team here " for the all-star
event. There Is even some i talk of
playing two games, with Columbia as
the second invader.
