SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY INCORPORATED Local Pastor Gets Letter From London ' Dr. Maurice Clarke, rector of Grace Church, of this city, who la a native of Great Britain, haa received a letter from IUh slstor, now residing In 1/omloiT which waa dated November 4. which gives a vivid word picture of what the people of Great Britain are undergoing. The letter, with namoH deleted, la as follow#: "l am worry to keep you wo long without a letter, but It seems the hardest thing to do?writing letters. We spend so much time in our shelter#, that we have to rush around and get food cooked and work done while we have the chance, But now I am tired of spending so much time In shelter. 1 feel U really getting mo down; when you thluk of going In at half past six to seven in the evening and Staying there till six to seven In the morning you will realize what I mean. Wo really have to take a chance and as other people Bay, if there is a bomb for u| we shall got it whether wo are in the shelter or house and It's quite truo. A shelter got his lust Sunday night quite close to us and killed five. One was a young married woman expecting a baby in a few weeks, it has so unnerved me. as I was thinking of In the same condition. I knew the young woman very well which made me feel worse. 1 pray for strength and courage (but I am afraid that when I hear the bombs whistling down, my strength uitd courage will leave me) but we cunnot do anything more than pray for all our loved ones. If wo had a gun and could do something it wouldn't bo bo had, but Just to wait for a Itoiub is worse than anything, but we have to keep up with It and hope it will soon ond. We certainly are not going to give into Hitler so wo have to fight to the end. 1 can't remember If 1 wrote and told you that had her house bombed on August IS, but she was quite safe in shelter In the next door garden. They dropped S bombs round their house. It was u terrifying oxporlenco for her. A lot of their lovely home was destroyed. On the other hand they save ii good bit they were here with me for six weeks and have another home now. I would have liked them to stay with me till war was over, but It's natural they wanted their own home. I am glad to say that Is keeping very well and the Dr. Is quite pleased with her. Her baby arrives the end of December or beginning of January. I shall be glad when It's over. I was sorry to h#ar M was so ixjorly and I hope she Is much better now, also . I wish and I were with you. "Now, dears, I am afraid you will think my letter very doleful, but I really will try to keep my. chin up and be cheerful. I fern glad to say W Is well, but he has a very trying time in lxmdon and has had many marvelous escapes for which I am thankful. I don't think 1 have any more news. I know the chief thing is to let you know we are safe and well, so will close with love to all. " Thank for is few lines of love and comfort. As you say I wish I could have heard bis sermon."

HUNDREDS SUITER FROM MALARIA And Don't Know It Many people think you must have chills and fever to nave malaria, but that is not always so. You may first feel bilious, tired, lazy, sluggish, rundown, pepless, sleepless and nervous, and have nagging pains j ) and aches in back and legs. Thousands of peorde when they feel this way turn to Oxidine, the famous doctor's prescription, that has been used for SO years. For tho most common typo of maiaria wo have in the South, Oxidinc attacks the infection in the blood. Then, Oxidine has a tonic action. Oxidine also helps keep the system healthfully open. Don't suffer more than you have to. Try Oxidinc. If in just 7 days Oxidine does not delight and satisfy you, your druggist will return your money. And remember, with Oxidine you can take it and keep right on at your work. Oxidine, 50c. I Truesdell Drug Store, Bethune, S. C. DeKalb Pharmacy, Camden, 8. C. 1 1 Greece Has Strong Natural Defenses * -. .... .. , y # _ An Italian troop* pour across the Albanian frontier Into northwestern Greece, and as air-raid alarms sound for the first time In Athens, the Greek dreaders take up their positions in a rugged, mountain-ribbed laud which presonta a succession of natural obstacles to the advance of moderu mechanized military divisions. "Oreeoe is a rough, tough little laud which has borne the yoke of alien domination many times since the days of its ancient glory, but now for more than a century it has maintained its national independence," says a special bulletin from the National Oeogra'pbic Boclety. "Almost all of Greece Is mountainous. but. the dominant range, the Pindus mountains, running down from Albania into Greece, form the backbone of the northwestern Greek area dnto which Italians are reported to be advancing. "The Pindus mountains hinder communications bewteen northern Greece's Aogean and Ionian provinces to such an extent that no east-west railway crosses the country north of the Gulf of Corinth. Well-guarded passes afford possible if dlffioult, Invasion routes eastward to the plains of Macedonia and Thessaiy. Spur ranges running eastward and southeastward from the Pindus 'stem', like toeth from the back of a comb,(undoubtedly would impede invading armies moving down from the north. "Although Important . agricultural areas of Greece face the Ionian sea In Ihe west, the key positions in military and naval strategy are along the greatly Indented, island-screened Aegean ocast in the dast, where the administrative and commercial life of Greece Is conoentrated at Athens the capital, and its port, Piraeus, in the south, and Thessalonike (Salonika) in the north. "Despite Its amazing variety of scenery and topography, Greece is about the size of New York state. Islands (largest and moat Important: Crete) make up a fifth of the total area. Although it is chiefly an agricultural country, only a fifth of its area cs" be farmod. The bulk of the nation is barren, rooky upland providing only limited pasturage for sheep ami goats. ISxtanalve draining operations In Boeotla and In the plains of Serral and Drama In Thrace have added thousands of acres to the country's arable total. Reforestation Is slowly supplementing the remnants of the once extensive forests, exhausted by careless cutting since ancient times. "Wheat, corn, barley, rye, and oats are grown, but Greece's total crops of cerer.is are not sufficient for domestic needs, and large quantities are imported. Olives, currants, tobacco, cotton, and wine are other Important agricultural products. Rice is grown In Macedonia. Lemons, oranges, mandrains, figs, and other fruits flourish. "Giieek mills and factories turn out olive oil, graces, chemicals^ textiles and prepared foods. Among the varied mineral deposits being exploited are iron, iron-pyrites, zilc, copper, lead, emery, manganese, nickel, magnesifce ore. lignite, salt, and marble. In 1938 before the present war upset trade conditions. Germany purchased 38.5 per cent of Greek exports and provided 28.8 per oent of Greece's imports. The United States was second in purchases of Greek exports, while Great Britain was next to Germany in supplying Greece's import needs. "Of the 7.197.000 Greeks, most of those who do not live by the sail make a living dii'ectly or indirectly from the sea. With a land so strikingly indented bv the sea, the Greeks have naturally been the leading maritime people of tho eastern Mediterranean since the, days of the Phoenicians "The spectacular cana^ through the Isthmus of Corinth provides a shortout for shipping between tho Ionian and Aegean seas, and. makes an artificial island of southern Greece (the AN ORDINANCE To Provide for an Election for u alderman for Ward 4 and Ward 6 of the City of Camden, South Carolina Be it ordained by the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Camaen, State of South Carolina, in Council assembled and by authority of the same. 1.
