THE FRIEND OF THE FIFTH COLUMNISTS SPOKE HIS MIND mr. holsum moore was telling the boys at the cltty hall last tuesday 1 about hearing a radio talk a week or I so ago by an ltlay-an from new york I cltty, who happens to be in congress, he understood his name to be mark anntonio. he was mad at the u. s. congresB for passing a bill requiring all aliens to regglster and be fingerprinted. it looks like he is going to see that the govvermen nullifies that act, and if he has to get mussy-lena to help him. mr. anntonio said in these u. s. all men is equal, much less all wlmmen. he considered it a sin and a shame and a disgrace to make furriners come up and tell Vho they are and what they are doing over here. he stated that these furrin-born 'men and wimmen came over here and worked hard for a livving, but he failed to say that uncle sam diddent afOd for theru and beg them to locate in america. they came over on their own accord, possibly in the steerage, but now, mr. moore said?they are getting cocky ansoforth. mr. moore didn't like mark anntonnio's talk a-tall he said that if those italy-ans. in whose behaff he was speaking, diddent want to regglster and be finger printed, why they could go back to deer old Italy and become one of mussy-lena s own. they don't only finger-print the folks in Italy and germannv and other europea.11 countries: they own them, boddy and sole, and use them just like we use mules and bosses and other domestic animals over here, except our u. s. animals have some freedom at night. such politicians as mark anntonio and hon. John 1. lewis and that feller bridges is what makes it difficult for our democracy to remain demmocratic. mr. slim chance, sr., says the day is coming over here when we will have to do more than finger print a few furriners, an honest citizen doesn't object to complying with the law: it's crooks and rascals that fear the open. mr. moore said he coulddent understand why the raddlo would let folks like that italy-an talk over It. this is time for free speech o. k.. but it is allso the time to be careful how you talk and what you say. yores trulie, mike lark. rfd. corry spondent. HEAT BLTTZKREIGED FLAT ROCK 1 AND CAUSED SOME SUFFERING the hot weather of two weeks ago left flat rock in a verry bad fix. mr. sam skinner got sun-struck on main street while trying to cross same and the only thing that saved him was a bucket of watter which was dashed In his face by mrs. holsum moore I who was toting It home from the town pump mr. skinner had been feeble | for 3 years; he began to draw hla wellfare check only 3 months ago. they will try to get it increased onner count of the sun. xnr. slim chance's rubber roof melted off Mb house when the thermometer got over 100. he bought his roof from a traveling peddler and got it much cheaper than the local folks would sell it to him. in fact, so he says, he saved over 50 per cent and cut out the middleman, it would of benn a verry good roof had it not melted, we have sevveral cittizens that perfer tb trade with strangers rather than home-folks, nearly everboddy but nir. chance is glad the roof melted. , the weather got so hot that mrs. may .knott's poodle dog everdently went mad. but she loved him so. she ' put him in a cage and agreed to heep him till she felt sure that he diddent have the rabbits, this was the request nof,the poleesman. it seems that he got cut a few day's ago and left no torwarding address, there is some talk of taking mrs knott to law for not seeing that her dog was either killed or impounded till further notice from the citty counsel), folks love dogs. a 11 vegetable gardings got burnt up from the hot sun rays, beans popped open on the vines in mrs. hadda chance's garding. it got too hot to fish: but yore corry spondent got'up enough courage to drop a few hooks in smith's mill pond, he caught a horney head and a mud cat, both of which were cooked to a light brown when he pulled them out of the watter. he et them right there, but he prefers to ketch fishes that aint alreddy cooked by the weather. yores trulie, mike lark, rfd, oorry spondent. Camden Lady Gets Letter From England (Continued from page one) | <*J a wondertui Hptrit aoromt in Hrlialu. I My own family has a young lady refugee from the Channel Inlands staying with us. We took her in because we felt that It might have been our daughter who wus a refugee and we would have liked her to be well lool^r. ed after. "Food la plentiful and we have the usuaj comforts. We are now trying to organize a campaign against waste? to save every scrap of aluminium, iron, paper and other things which In the past we threw Into the rubbish heaps. We find they can be made use of by the Htate. "11 Is worth living In these times. The greatest thing of all perhaps is the attitude of our women folks. They show no fear. They shed no toarB. They are prepared to stand by their men und share the risks with thein? and take the consequences whatever they may be. My own daughter Is serving In a, Y. M. C. A. Canteen? the only small contribution she can make meantime. Taxation is of course terrific?8|6d on the pouud ' on Incomes under 2,000 pounds and up to 18;?on the pound on Incomes beyond that. Such things don't matter at all?so long as we beat Hitler. The state can have all our income and our money?so long as they give us Just sufficient food to live on. So far we had more than sufficient food and this is likely to continue. We have all lost any great Interest In our money or savings. We will willingly give these.all if need be to the state for victory. "In any odd moments I can get, which are very few indeed during this great national crisis, 1 am still trying to carry on with my family and historical research. I shall be very glad to have from you some time your own tree as promised. I shall also be very glad indeed to hear from you from time to time. "I repeat my appreciation of the great interest and kindness you are showing in our fight pnd I would Bimply assure you again in all seriousness that we hope to win this war and thereby maintain freedom not only for Britain, but for the United States and the rest of the free world." Note?roughly calculated the prewar value of 1 pound sterling was equal to $5, therefore the war tax mentioned equals $2.12 for every $5 of Income up to $10,000; above it, it rises to $4.50 per $5.
