PENALTIES IMPOSED FOR VIOLATING ACT Columbia, S. .. Jan. 7?Immediate | steps will bo takon to crack down on those who arc intentionally violating tlio provisions of the Selective Service act. General Holmes B. Springs, state director, said he had been informed today. General Springs, while pointing out that the state Headquarters for Selective Service, under the law, is not charged with enforcement of the act but serves merely in an administrative capacity, revealed that he had been informed by I'nited Slates District Attorney Claude N. Sapp. of the Kastern District of South Carolina, j that complete filei of those suspected of violations had been turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Savannah office fox investigation. W'iltul violations of the. act are punishable by a prison term of not more than live years or a fine of not more than $lu,0u0. or both, it was pointed out by Major Luther K. Brlce, l^gal adviser at state headquarters. While only a few persons have been i suspected <Sf ''wilful violations*-' in (this state, General Springs said, there) (are cases of registrants who cannot be located by local boards due to lack of knowledge of the law. The F. H. 1. will also investigate such cases, he said he had been told. "Casps where conclusive evidence is shown that violations of the act are due to lack of knowledge will, in all probability, bo treated with sympathetic consideration, but it is my understanding that the enforcement j officers will' present strong cases in seeking indictments against those who openly and flagrantly are violating the law. "Such obstruction of the nation's preparedness program at this serious time is shameful and should be pun-| ish- d. It is not fair to those who are now serving their year of intensive! military training to allow 'dodgers' to take advantage of the law. The latter deserve punishment for their tin-1 ;>a;riotic acrs. THE SPIRIT OF ''ABE" REVIVED A modem t M rs i Abe" Lincoln was I ovi i'imI in South Carolina during the lei" ante of Christmas Seals in the) p. r,oii of C B. Carolina, a teacher of Lugofi. S.

She immediately came to Camden and requested l.o"0 mare. I Seals. she was quoted as having said. ' My school raised ten dollar's worth for the cause last year, but wo would like to establish our own record of $ 12 50 this year.'

GARDEN NOTES - " % If among the many Now Year's re-! aolut lone there hi the one to study j garden planning, much pleasure will be had by the Individual as well a* much beauty added to the general landscape of our town. As tho average gardener knows more about planting than planning, January can be spent in no better way than in planning a new garden or In studying how to improve the lines of old plantings. Resolve to study garden planning and to omphuslzo the design. Gardens built on simple flnea are emphatically those of the best landscape design. Plan for simplicity of Hue and color with all foundation plantings suited to the lines and size of the buildings, j Now?January to March?is tho time for heavy planting of all shrubs and trees and broad-leaved evergreens. Now is tho time also for transplanting In tho gardens already made. Thin out the overgrown shrubbery. Take out the trees thnt shade the plants too heavily. Whore there are unneoded trees and shrubs <uid beds and .borders get rid of them and try to get back to simple tines and ways of gardening. In moving tho old shrubs and trees that lose their leaves in winter, the root systems will have to bo out and this means' that tho tops will also Heed cutting to balance the loss of root system; Usually to cut one third off Is right. Ih-oad* leaved evorgreons and conifers should be moved with a ball of earth around the roots and tills ball should not be broken. After plants have been replanted they should be given water freely as this keeps tho new roots growing and prevents loss in severe cold. Do not let tne oontrers die out at any time. If you do they are gone. Hawthorns have to bo cut back even though they are moved with a ball of oarth. Planning anew the situations of the | perennial and rose borders will give plenty of room or good design. A number of perennials can be transplanted into tlie border this month, including pansies, fox-gloves, canter bury bells, columbine, Shasta daisy. Roses like best being moved in cold weather except when it is freezing UiHd-grown roses with fcare roots \ should be planted from January to March. A good application of dry lime-and-sulphur in January, while roses are dormant is a good control of mildew. The easiest way to increase, your roses is to bend the branches down, make a deep slanting cut into the branc, and cover the wounded portion with soil. Sow this month your last planting of winter Flowering Sweet Peas wild flowers Ranuculus, annual poppies, California poppies. Sweet Alyssum. snapdragons. Scabioso, larkspur, calenduls. mignonette, annual chrysanthemums. callipsis. candytuft and lawn grass. Many bulbs can be transplanted and for a succession of bloom, continue to plant gladioli every few weeks from now until June. Now is the time to make cutting;* of crepe myrtle, butterfly-bus, shrubalthea. box, roses, privet, and hydrangea. rhe New Orleans Garden Society suggests that all beds be spaded so that the clods may be mellowed by tho frost. For conquering a stubborn soii autumn leaves and garden trash may be spaded in and by allowing the surface to remain rough through the winter the action of the frost will break up the soil into fine, mellow particles). With good planning and careful planting both in home gardens end around places of business, especially filling stations. Camden can be made noted for its beautiful gardens as well as for its places of historic interest ? Kliza belli Raum. Camden Garden Club Publicity. Reports No Election Cost Congressman James P.
