?~ n??? Cruising jj Around : with "Skipper" Teacher: "What does "atop" spell? Pupil:v "Stop spells STOP!" Teacher: "What does atop moan?" Pupil: "Stop moana coaao from motion, come to a rest." All of which, summed up, moans that if Mrs. Blank, who resides on U. H. No. 1 near Hlaney had taken the word "atop" an printdd in big black letters on a bright yellow background, literally there would have been no col} liaion at I>eKalb and Mill street laat Thursday afternoon. / Itut Mrs. Blank, driving an auto in which her husband and two children were occupants, took the word stop to moan "alow down." And becauao the driver of another car, an officer from Port Bragg, N. C., figured he was on an arteial, in the right lane and therefore immune from any wandering motorist who might disregard regulations of traffic, there was trouble. **09 The Fort Bragg officer, driving a Packard car made every effort to avoid a collision, but Mrs. Blank came into hta* on the port side and wham ?crash! And to add to the complexity of the situation, Mrs. Blank did not have a driver's license. * * Fotunately no one was injured in the crash. Both cars were damaged. But?It might have been a tragedy? what with two little children In Mrs. Blank's car. * Well, we denied ourselves the pleasure of attending the President's hall at the Court Inn last Thursday night.' to attend the cage game between the Horse Shoe gang and a smart COC team from 1417. - *. ? And we were rewarded by seeing i some of the best basketball we or anyone else has ever seen on a Camden floor. And we say that without I effort of qualification, because the Shoe* are a flue working quint. Frankly, every game should be played before a packed gallery. < The exhibition the boys put up Is worthy of 100 per cent support from the moat critical of basketball experts. Beautiful team play, clover shooting?well folks, take It from one who has ?oeu the stars of the mklwest Big Ten teams, the best of the pro teams In action, the horse-shoe cagers are the neurost thing to being real basketball players we have seen since we canto south of the Mason-Dixon line. Next Wednesday night the big game of the season will bo played In the high gym. It brings the 118th Infantry team. Fort Juokson champs?hero for a tilt with the Horse Shoe lads, loot's All the gallery folks and give a swell team a rousing sendoff. Will the prediction of H. G. Wells In hts book written ten years ago entitled "The Shape of Tl^ngs to Coine" come true next fall? You will recall that In this book Wells predicted a ten-year period of flu, cholera, fever, and a resultant complete standstill of economic lifo. Eminent bacteriologists point out that the wave of flu prevalent in America has mvoed oastward, gaining virulency as It moves. When It strikes Europe, which they claim will be next faU It will invade an area where millions of people are under-nourished and living under most unhygenic conditions. Thoy will fall easy victims to their epidemic. Have you ever thought in this connection how strange it is that the God of the universe steps in to stop wars? Perhaps that is what will happen when the flu hits the warring nations. a v. In 1588 a terrific storm stepped in to save England when It wrecked the Spanish armada. Will God use the flu to "save England from the beast of Berlin? Speaking of boxing, the fight last Friday night between Joe Louis and Red Bunnan settled one argument rather conclusively and that is that while the brown bomber may be some shakes as a scrapper he never will be the fighter that Jack Dempsey was In his prime. Burman, fighting with the Dempsey crouch and ferocity scared hell out of Joe and had It not been for the weight and reach deft clency, there wight have been a now champion. Experts agree that Joe la slipping, and the chances for Hilly Conn to upset him have taken on a now luster. If Conn can add the weight and retain his speed and skill, ho has a swell chance of topping the ebony terror. ? * As we paddle out on the front porch every ipornlng In our striped pajamas and gather in the morning paper, we gazo at tho headlines and iyes sir, wo start cussing. Wo wonder, oh lx>rd, how long, will the rulers of this nation tolerate the strikes that everywhere over the nation have crippled or tied up the program of preparedness. Isn't it time that the government steps In and packs these experts in tlfth column activities Into concentration camps, or better yet, stand them up against a brick wall and let Hlaylight thropgh them. * * ? Ordinarily, we are for the laboring man, but our experience In newspaper work during which wo "covered" many darn bad strikes, we learned that the strike movement was usually fostered by some blamed foreigner. And we'll bet a hat that if you check the list of these union agitators you'll find they have an itsckvlch or a wop handle to their name. * Hells bells, folks, tills Isn't a time to strike. And we think every striker falls In patriotism. * 1 A few paragraphs on that grand game?polo. Another record turnout Sunday which was quite unexpected because of the cold weather and the threat of aln. But the fans came from K%re, there and everywhere until they Jammed the rails and parking areas. * * * * The loud speaker system is proving popular with the crowd, as Henry Savage, Jr., offers an Intelligent and interesting picture of the game as the action unfolds on the field.. Mr. Savage injects a lot of polo dope which the fans drink up with avidity. As the fans learn the fine points of the game and get to know the players, their Interest grows. As one lady from Charlotte jocularly remarked, "After taking one dose of your polo prescription several weeks ago my husband has overcoino his Sunday stay-at-homo ideas and it's we uus for the highway to Camden." This chap Harrison offers a beautiful play. He seemingly Is never hurried but is right on tho sppt when needed. His shooting is terrific and he seldom misses a shot; Light foot Is another rider who hits them far1 wide and handsome. One of the mo.;c improved players on the team since this department has been "covering" tho sport for four years is M. B. Burns. * You will see a lot of thrills and some sensational riding next Sunday when the North-South game is played. The Yanks will have a lot of power with Harrison, Pogasu Long Island club star head lining a lineup featuring members of the famous Essex troop team form Newark, N. J. This game Is lti the making as this Is written and wo hape it goes through okeh. The constituent elements of a 200pound human body would be worth about one dollar at market prices. "Build-Up" Important Protector of Women A weak, undernourished condition often enables funAiortol dysmenorrhea to get a foothold; thus leads to much of woman's suffering from headaches, nervousness, and other periodic discomfort. CARDUI'S principal help for such distress comes from the way it usually stimulate* appetite; increases flow of garftric juice; thus aids digestion; helps build energy, strength, physical resistance to periodic pain for many.

State Speakers Heard In-his talk Governor Maybank said that the state was looking forward to its farm leaders to help the state's agriculture to cope with the difficult times arising from the war. Ho said- that not only armed forces but well fed, well clothed and well housed farmers were needed to provide food supplies. He said much was to be done in the way of crop diversification and that tlie problem was a real challenge to farm leaders. Doctor Watklns, head of the extension service, said that 12,000 families agreed originally to carry out tho program and that 2,500 carried it to a point that they received certificates. Ho said tho experiment was some! thing new in American agriculture and predicted more farmers would enter It during tho present year. Doctor Watklns said too many South Carolina farms lacked chickens, cows and other farm essentials. He askod that 1040-50 be a decade of agricultural progress for this state. Ho said 25,000 farm families at least ought Lo participate in jthe Better Farm Living program. Mr. Sutherland said that the state has 165,000 families living on farms, more than half tho population, and that providing more of their own needs on thoir own farms tend to produce a moro balanced prosperity for the farmer.

By clearing up such areas in the late winter when farm labor Is not at a premium, farmers cSn get the Initial work of pasture development done and at the same time in many oases lay in a spring and summer supply of stove wood where undesirable types of trees are found on these areas, the soil conservation service points out. Numerous examples can be found In this section where land of this kind which had been contributing nothing to the farm IncomQ over a period of many years has been developed into tho best pasture land on tho farm, he said. At the same tin\e, the uho of these formerly non-productive areas for pasture has enabled farmers to put upland areas loss suited for grazing Into perennial hay crops such as kudzu and lespedezn soricea to supplement t.he farm hay supply. tax returns Notice Is hereby given that tho Auditor's office will ho open for receiving Tax Returns from January 10, 1941, to March 1, 1941.
