The medical-social welfare work of

the Red Cross are financed from membership
dues and contributions and
voluntary work.
Chairman Davis also favors co-ordinating

at no time lias our organization

of the warfare."
There has been in the 1'nlted States
some confusion as lo the needs r.nd
overlapping has taken place when
other American relief groups requested,
space for their supplies. All surgical
dressings were arranged for
with the American Red Cross and
enough dressings are on hand for all
of Britain's need, so there is no necoa-j
sii.v for oilier relief organizations to
make surgical dressings and all wellmeant
relief efforts should he directed

i xtrcincly Important that ihoy secure

In a statement regarding tbo application
and enforcement of tho vehicle
Inspection law, A. W. liohlon, Director

although moat motorists understand
that cars and trucks which do not
now display either the first period
1941 or tho second period 1940 sticker
are now being stopped by the Slate
Highway Patrol and their owner being
prosecuted, there has been some
misunderstanding about the statin of
vehicles which display the 194u certllleatc.
"In case of a county which l? sorveU
hy a portable lane. If owners who
have the 1910 sticker on their
vehicles do not secure tho llrst period
19-11 Ocker before the station leaves
the county in which they live, thoy
will he liable to Immediate prosecution,
and In most cases no Inspection
station will have to drive to a point
several miles away for inspection, or
slop Operating their vehicles until the
station returns. Therefore It Is urged
that all vehicles, whether they have
the second period 1940 sticker or not,
bo put through Inspection when the
safety station Is, within convenient
range.
In Camden and Kershaw County,
approximately 2400 vehicles have
been inspected and approved to date.
There are 4^500 vehicles registered in

1900 vehicles to bo Inspected and

The Inspection station will leave Camden

Tho Florence I'nion Stock Yards of
Florence. S. ('., was tho successful
bidder. We will continue these ship- j
ments monthly as long as we have
hogs to sell, the prospects are now
that we will get better prices for our
hogs in 1911 than wo got in 1940. Tbis
is a good time to feed your hogs till
they weigh from ISO to 225 pounds
which will enable you to get the top
I prices for them, says W. C. McCarley.

are on the streets and thus mingling
with crowds. This, according.'to Mr.
Morrison Is a far more dangerous situation
from the standpoint of contagion
than that to be found in the
srhools. . ____1
Both* Mrs. Wails and "Mr.'RichaTds
are keeping a close watch on the flu
situation and should it become more
serious the schools will be closed immediately.
Should it be necessary to close the
schools precautionary measures will
have to be extended to Sunday
Schools, theatres and other placos
where children might be in groups.
Dr. Humphries also pointed out that
the spread of the epidemic, is due
largely to people from other states
coining into the community, and it is ^
because of this that he emphasized
the fact that children who are allowed
to be on the streets and to come in
contact with these people run a greater
chance of being taken ill than
otherwise.
Dr. Humphries. Mr. Morrison, Mrs. 1
Watts, and Mr. Richards are mindful '
of the best interests of the children 1
and of the general public and can be 1
depended upon to act wisely in the '
present crisis.

lie does not think that the ending
of the war now in progress Is going
to bring the peace of mind and contentment
that everyone would like. He

understanding between labor and capital.
