First af all?the county fair will bo
held in xt week. Chairman Creed ami
his workers have labored long and la*
borlously to make the HMO fair better,
than any heretofore offered the good
folks of Kershaw county. And so It
behooves each and every one of ua
to torn out and make the turn-stiles

They say the Lawrence carnival Ih
a real affair, which will mean a lot to
the folks who like that knld of entertainment
-ami believe me, 'there are
plenty So go out prepared to enjoy
yourselves. And do not forget Ihei
farm exhibits and all the other things'
lilt at go to make up a (list class fair.
See you there.
And now for a dash of football
sauce. What happened nt Hock Hill
Is known to all of you. It was a moral
victory for the Bulldogs. They
were rated as being certain losers and
they held a good heavy team to a
scoreless tie. Ami was Hock Hill
lucky. Twice did the Bulldogs have
the ball down on tihe four yard -stripe.
But for a series of vital mishaps,.*

Tonight we take on Darlington and
so far as 'this department is concern*
ml?the game is in the bag for the
Bulldogs.

they can?but at the risk of being

However, imaging .1 G. Richards,

world, we do believe that spectators
should be kept back of the fence
and not be permitted to sprawl along
the side lines. At the Monroe game,
we conn-ted exactly thirty-seven kids
sitting along the west side lines near
the Camden dugout. We wonder just
what would happen if some i lay

Better keep the youngsters back of

Legion Would Aid

Boston . Sept. 25- Tho American
Legion vounl overwhelmingly today In
ravor or giving "all practicable aid to
nrrarrmtalTT^ tn cnn^mcrton wtttr a defense
program doalgned to make
America "strong enough to meet and
turn hack any i>osetble invasion before
It arrives,
Warren Atherton of California,
chairman of the 22ml convention com
mlttee 011 national defense, tenne<l the
pro--lirltiah roaolution "a new ajep In
the direction of closer support" for
that country. The Legion advocated
strict neutrality at its convention last
year.
The veterans' recommendation for
strengthening ;t<he United States' armed
forces far beyond the nation's present
expansion program, greatest In
Its history, and at the same time called
for legislation to provide for strict
supervision over aliens and for elimination
of "subversive" activities.
The 1,400-odd delegates, representing
more than a million former service
men, urged creation of a permanent
system of universal military training,
itnd increases in the personnel of the
iriny, navy, Air corps and merchant
marine,...The, National Guard and -TheIt.
O. T. C.
In a long-range program growing
out'of the war* abroad and prepared
ness plans at home, the soldiers of two
decades ago urged acquisition of ad
dltlonal bases for naval expansion,
and Indorsed "the principle of exchanging
obsolete equipment for needed
air and naval bases."
Universal finger-printing of all clt-i
|/.ens was recommended, along with
legislation to prevent members of the 1
Communtst party, the German-American
Bund and "other foreign subversive
groups" frpm holding either elective
or appointive public office.
One resolution urged immediate deportation
of Harry Bridges, west coast
labor leader.
While Boston returned to normalcy
after entertaining the biggest parade
crowd in its history yeetedray,'" the
delegates picked Milwaukee as the
scene for their national convention hi
1941 after receiving assurances that a
purse of $120,000 had been raised for
expenses. Kansas City also bid for
the convention.
?Earlier. W 1111am Green?president -of- the
American Federation of Labor,
drew cheers, from the convention as
he called for unity in action in combating
"isms" and building the nation's
defense.
Action on the mass of resolutions
came without a word of discussion
as the delegates adopted without a
single dissenting voice the recommendations
' of its committees on
Americanization and national defense.
"ir fighting is necessary to defend
the. United States." the national defense
opuiuiHtee said, as it offered its
recommendations, "we insist upon being
prepared to do the fighting outside
of the United States."
Fortifications of Guam; an "impregnable"
defense of Panama Canal and
Uie approaches; removal of the "mediocre
and incompetent" from leaderphi
p of United States armed forces
and creation of reserves and munitions,
tanks and planes to implement
an army of 2.200.0(10 were demanded
by tile Legion.
