other day that about 8,000,000 people
in b^lljum looked like they would
starve to death if amerlca dlddent
feed them as we done enduring the last
~ war. mr. moore said he suggested
that the fifth collums of betljum who
sold out to germany mought be able
to make some arrangements with germanny
to feed their -captives, this
would possibly plese king loophole
who surrendered without notis.
mr. hitler must have plenty of food
up his sleeve, he is so smart, he'wont
let noboddy suffer, befoar he would let
them go hungry, he would shoot them
first he can't stand to see peeple
punnished. he was nice to poland and
reliewd them of their misery, allso
the land and other stuff, this feller said
that hitler of "coarse meant" to Tight"

th^-re is plenty of room for two good

[interesting Letter
From London
The following letter was received
In Sumter by Mr. l-ev| and wo feel It
will be read with great Interest by
our subscribers: '
Mr. Wendell M. Levi.
U'minon Building.
Sumter South Carolina. U. a. A.
Gear Mr. l^evi.
The final paragraph in your letter
comes very acceptable in those difficult
times and 1 thank you for the
sympathy and express to both myself
and our countrytl Your experience
' as a captain In France during the
Great War makes you appreciate something
of what wo are getting here,
but we are prepared for still greater
trials and hardships. The spirit of the
"Man In the Street" is wonderful and
all are determined to fight to the
last hill-top even.
This Is a Job that has to be done
and done properly this time?not like
last time when the Germans cried
"Comrade before their own soli was
invaded-?and we must see that it
cannot happen again.
In this part of London life goes
on much as before In spite of restrictions
and heavy taxation. Business Is
extremely qulot but after all, what is
the good of money when everything
that matters is at stake? Photography,
especially here, has slumped and all
my advertising and commercial work
has gone west but I'm looking forward
to a boom "after." Advertising
and illustrating should be in great
demand when wo are reconstructing
Europe and every advertising agent
I've spoken to agrees. And that reconstruction
is going to be nearly
as costly as the war at present as
we have to rescue all the countries
that have been over-run by that Hellbound
Hitler. ,
! Just now I spoke of the "Man in
the Street" but the women are as
I wonderful. The war they are carrying
on lwth their Jobs of work?many
doing the work of strong men?how
they are fitting themselves into the
changed conditions of today, and even
theordinary house-wife carries on
with a fixed determination to see It
through. God help any Invaders that
get through our defenders as practically
every woman Intends to wipe
out any Nazi that comes their way.
It is not a question of "hate" but a
resolve to be finished with this swarm
of vermin once and for all. One does
not "hate" rats but one exterminates
them all the same. Many keep a carefully
sharpened carving-knife handy
for eventualities.
Until now we in London tfave escaped
bombing but even if we get
it night and day, as we expect when
the "Ma dDog" starts running loose,
' we are prepared to "take it." We are
looking forward to that day with the
knowledge that our boys, "Kings of
| the Air," the R. A. F.. havethe mastery
of any that attempt it. Yesterday
it was announced that we had dropped
37^000 bombs on enemy coiIntry
compared with 7,000 they had presented
to us. (And Hitler threatened
ten to our one!)
Well, we have proved we are not
so effete as <3ermany thought and
our youngsters are demmrrtrattng tbe
fact every day?and night. Men that
but a few short months ago were behind
counters, at office desks, in factories,
on the land, etOa, are risking
their lives for the benefit of us vivilians,
taking hourly hazards to make
the air purer and clear It of the blood*
stained murders of women and children.
All I've met seem to take It as
a matter of course, going up cheerfully
with a sandfroid that Is wonderful,
returning with the satisfaction
that another "bird" Is "off the air."
Several of my personal friends who
are awaiting their "call-up" are like
greyhounds straining at the .leash.
They want to be "at em". Their work,
their homes, their very lives do not
count when Britain Is in danger. "Effete"
be damned.
May I state how we In the Empire
appreciate the support your great Nation
is giving us. Speaking of an ordinary
citizen your moral support?j
as well as tho material side?gives us.
heart te face the ordeals we are enduring
and those In front of us. Like
us, the U. S. A. realizes that the pow-|
er of Nazidom must be crushed forever,
this vile slavery destroyed, and
the small states of Europe freed from
oppression, and mankind allowed to
live without the fear of recurring war
by the tigars and Jackals who are
overrunning the Continent.
~"The other k?<)-?ome Belgiaus
here, two of them had lost all they
possessed for the second time in their
Uvea and are refugees in England
once again. Their courage is splendid
and they are filled with determinai
tion to recover their country from the
enemy.
I
Here, in Britain, we are a little Europe
in ourselves as dally we are adding
to our fighting forces those soldiers
of other states who are under
the heel of Hitler. In London may be
seen soldiers and sailors of thd subjugated
nations, lining up with us
to oppose the common enemy. I
should like to personally conduct
Hitler around Britain so he cound see
for himself the "atone wall" he is up
against. Not our material defenses
s? much but our moral ones. He
would then realize that we can never
be beaten, not even when he is being
wheeled around in a bath-chair or
dying of old age in a Nazi madhouse.
Well, I've let myself run on and
you piust forgive me if I have bored
you, but after your expression of
goodwill I felt I must write more
than a formal letter.
Again thanking you for your commission
and trusting we may be able!
I to do more business together "after". J
Yours sincerely,
A ,W. HUHSTO.

Aged Operator Tells
of First Plane Flight
Manteo. N. C., Sept. 2.?Yesterday
was an important anniversary in the
life of Alpheus W. Drinkwater, who
tappod out the first news of the birth
ol aviation and who still relays telegrams
and* coast guard matters along
tae outer banks, but, with a hurricane
on the coast, he didn't have much
time-to receive plaudits and to reminisce.
When a storm gathers ofT the banks
Cap'n Alf is a busy man. That's the
way it's been ever since he became
a telegrapher forty years ago yesterday,
I
Cap'n Alf, who was Dorn July 31,
1875, at Oregon Inlet, picked up telegraphy
at Virginia Beach, VS., railroad
station In his 'teens. On September
1, 1900, he was employed at
Currituck and in January 1916, was
moved to Manteo, where he's been
ever since save for a% brief period,
when the coast guard moved to Norfolk,
Va.
Drinkwater naturally rates the
birth of aviation as the greatest thing
he ever saw. For he was on the 'spot
when Wilbur and Orville Wright first
flew at nearby Kitty Hawk, December
17. 1903.
Cap'n Alf says the first flight was
"really Just gliding down a hill," and
the Wright's, because of lack of funds
were forced'to go back to Dayton, 0.(
to continue their bicycle business.
? When the Wright's came back in
1908, "they really did things then,"
DrfiikWater says.
"Wilbur and Orville^ had been back
here only a few week# 'when they
took off on the morning of May 6,
? 1908,'! he says. "They had a successful
flight that day and two days later,
' "they went up a total of 12 times,"
"Then on May 14, Wilbur pushed
i the steering stick the wrong way and
i
gracked.UP. the. 36. liftTflfliMBKftr.Sflglaft .
but even then they had flown almost
every day for a week.
"There were thousands of people
who didn't believe avlatioh was possible."
In this connection Drinkw&tor llkea
to,look back to rthe lime when the
late Uedruce Salley, Norfolk, . Va?
newspaperman, had atonies kicked
back on him from leading metropolitan
newspapers who considered aviation
a farce.
A Cleveland, Ohio, paper?wlred Salley:
"Cut out wild cat stuff."
Drinkwater has a copy of the wire
and the originals of the first stories
flled on aviation's birth.
The Wright's kept their experiments
secret and J>rinkwater was one
of the few who Viatphed the first "flying
machine."
I "It was one of those things you
didn't believe after you saw it," he
says. "Nobody thought they'd succeed.
I don't care what they say now.
"I know how Orville and Wilbur
had to struggle to get money to finance
their idea. The government was
very reluctant to help and It wasn't
until they'd flown two miles that it
really looked good for aviation's future,
and I'll tell you honestly we
were excited then."
Forty years is a long time Drinkwater
admits. But he says he doubts
that if he lived a million years he'd
I ever experience a thing as great as
the birth of aviation.

If you find a bomb on your doorstep
dunk It In lubricating oil?not water.
.That advice was given Philadelphia
policemen in special instructions
prom pied by the finding of two tsomba
in the city within a month. Some
bombs, the Instructor said, contain
chemicals which explode on contact
