Nettles & Son WATCH YOUR STEPI Greensboro Defeats Senators By 6 to 4 Tho Harrisburg Senators' record in the Tobacco Road .. league, so-called because most of tho clubs training In the heart of this tobacco belt are playing each other, last Saturday stood at seven wins and two losses. After winning seven In a row, the Bellmen were handed their second setback of the training campaign when they fell 'before the Greensboro, N. C., Red Sox In a ten-lnnlng contest here Satuday, 6 to 4. It was the Senators' first exhibition game of tho year with a Piedmont league team, and, likewise, its first with a Class B club. It was their second extra-inning affair of the training season, having turned back the Albany Eastern league _club in ten frames about a week ago. If not for some wobbly support, particularly by Bill Homan, who committed the team's only two errors, the Senators may have extended t/heir winning streak and kept their record for winning extra inning frays Intact. A victory also would have given them a head start in their series with Piedmont League clubs, with which, starting today, they have three games in as many days. News from south-eastern Europe sounds discouraging In the main, but It's too early to lose hope. The O0r-_. man army is powerful, but not omnipotent, and Hitler's forces may be led Into wild terrain that may prove their undoing. When Japs and Chinese clash in pitched battle superior Jap armament and training generally tell, but the world knows by now that Japan Is waging a losing flght " in China, and would gladly surrender her designs on China to make an honorabb* retreat, and forget the entire business. It may bo that Hitler lias at last made a faux pas, and embarked .in a wild drive that will cost him his empire. Chester Reporter. Couple Has Golden Wedding Mr and Mrs John Whitaker of Camden are receiving congratulations from their friends, today being 'heir f.utii wedding anui versarj'. Mrs Whitaker was Miss Annie Burnet, daughter of the late and hoboed I >r Andrew W. Burnet and Harriet Shannon Burnet of Cajnden.

C., which took place at the home of the bride's aunt, Miss Alberta Team, this afternoon at a o'clock. Only the Immediate families and a very few close friends witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. A. Douglas McArn of Bethesda Presbyterian church. In the ceremony room largo vases of white Iris and exorchorda were used effectively as decorations. Tall palms and floor baskets of Easter lilies with white cathedral tapers in silver candlelabra on the mantel formed the background for the wedding party. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Herbert Orton, Jr., of Lewes, Del., cousin of the bride. Miss Susan Team, wbo attended her sister as maid of honor, wore delphinium blue and carried a colonial nosegay of sweet peas In pastel shades. The best P.an was the bridegroom's cousin, James Sherer of Charlotte and Splndale, N. C. The bride entered with her uncle, John L. Team, by whom she was given in marriage. She wore a becoming ensemble suit of navy blue with white accessories and a smart close fitting hat to match. Her shoulder corsage was of Sweetheart roses and lilies of the valley. After the ceremony an informal reception was held for the guests in attendance. The lace covered table in the dining room was centered with a crystal bowl of white Japanese iris, snapdragons and candytuft. On the buffet was the triple tiered wedding cake decorated with wedding bells and the emblems were tied to tiny white ribbons at the end of which were small sprays of valley lilies. Fruit cake, punch and green and white mints were served. Mrs. Faris Is the daughter^ of the late Mr. and Mrs James Team of Lugoff.

The Invasion of Yugoslavia creating immediate medical relief needs, the American Red Cross is arranging for a million dollars worth of supplies to be shipped to that unfortunate country. Ten field hospitals, tons of medicines and blankets, two million surgical dressings prepared by volunteers will be a part of this shipment. X-ray units, 500,000 quinine tablets, sera, vaccines, iodine, alcohol and ether, will also be sent. More than two million dollars has been spent in Greece?that amount being immediately available from the congressional appropriation of last year for war relief. Yugoslavia, especially Serbia, has always been most grateful to the Red Cross and its nurses for the wonderful work and heroic help in the lakt world war and while in Belgrade, I heard many expressions of this gratitude and stories of the part the Red Cross nurses and workers had had in the rehabilitation of Serbia. Typhus and typhiod were prevalent. One of Camden's nurses, the late Miss Lizzie Halle, was stationed in that part of the world and spoke most interestingly of her work there, upon her re- I turn home. The Yugoslav minister to Washing-1 ton, Constantin Fotitck, is a most outstanding representative of the Yugoslav people and his tribute to the Red Cross is highly appreciated. His advice to all those who would help his stricken country is to make their contributions specifically designated for Yugoslavian relief through the American R*k1 Cross, shows his confidence in this mercy agency of the Pnited States government. The fact that Croatia has ljeen fore-1 ed into the Axis orbit and that Hungary? like a'jackal?rushes in to tear the bleeding body of the little country to pieces, will not alter, and in fact, will intensify the needs of the Serbs of Young King Peter?now fighting for mere existence. Old King Peter and the murdered king Alexander, the father of the youthful king, followed the fortunes of war with their soldiers in their long guerilla warfare against the Austrians?suffering want, starvation and lack of clothing?eating tho scanty faro and hiding in caves and among rocky crags of mountaiif retreats nnd because of this the adored heroes of the soldiers and this love has been 9 handed down to the son. I I was present In Belgrade when I upon the return of young Peter, their fl King, from England, where hd had 9 been at school, they swore their undy>* ing allegiance to the youth so cruelly 1 deprived of his father. They will keep the oath! Paretic, the inatin-fl tor of the murder of King Alexander) 9 has come from his hiding place In Fasoist-Nazl-Italy, and now rules Cro-I atla under Hitler and Mussolini, but I "Vengeance Is mine and I will repafg* saith the lx>rd," and a day of reckon ing must come, to all who follow suck * a dastardly traitor and Austria will* rue the day of her deflection. .. ;H The Red Cross convention in Wash'-* ington, D. C.y April 21 and 23 will stress National Defense and war aid. The British ambassador, Viscounty Halifax, will speak and 4,000 dehl gates are expected. Chairman Dark9 will give the keynote address April ^9 21 in Constitution Hall and will pre-9 side at tiiat session. The Ameh^9 can Junior Red Cross,, with a me?S bership of more than 8,000,000 of till* nation's school children, will mtA-* with the senior body. ! The chairman of the Kershaw com- H ty Red Cross chapter, Major Moultrky Brailsford; Mrs. Warren Harris, Mil^9 E. O. VonTresckow and Mrs. Margaret J. Mayfleld were elected delegates and 9 alternates to represent the chnpttf.j* A full rport of this important tneet-9 ing will be given next week. ^9 GRACE CHURCH 8ERVICE OF SALUTE TO BRITAIN* The services for Sunday, April at Grace Episcopal church will be Uy follows: Holy communion at 8 a. m-! fl church school at 9:45 a. m.
