We'll admit a bit of disgust over
the situational the baseball park luBt
Friday wben the Camden Highs closed
thefV season with the Columbia
High* as opponents. It wasn't because
of the failure of Camden to wiu
?but rather on the condition of the
diamond, the outfield and the park in
general. The base line paths wero
roughs making the afternoon a nightmare
for the inflelder; tf?e outfield
had patches of weeds while waste
paper, broken glass and what not'
were in evidence over the area near
the stands. ' Just a case of cussed
^eglect. And where grere the metal
numbers for the score board.

SALE FROM CHRISTMAS
* ^ SEALS DOES GOOD WORK
Using Christmas Seal Sale funds
to pay for the service of Doctor 3t G.
Seastrunk of Columbia, who specializes
in tuberculosis work, the Kershaw
^county tuberculosis association
is finishing up-this week a fluoro*
scopic and X-ray clinic for about
thirty-five people. This clinic was
planned because the people of Kershaw
county need more X-ray work
than can be taken care of by the
mobile X-ray unit, which comes to
Camden only every six months.
Keeping ever on the job in a twofold
wa/, first by^ using every available
mean^of locating and isolating
spreaders of _ tuberculosis germs;
second by searching for signs of tuberculous
infection among contacts
of active caseB of pulmonary tuberculosis
rs well as among positive reactors
to the tuberculin test, the Ker-<
shaw county tuberculosis .association
is accomplishing much toward solving
the tuberculosis problem, which so
vitnlly .effects the health and economic
life of people between the ages of
fifteen and forty-five years.
And let us never forget that the
annual Christmas Seal Sale drive
I
fiifnishes a large part of the money
usod in the county's tuberculosis program!

Feels Convoys
Matter for Congress
Cheater, May 9--(Speclal)-iCongreat
man J. P. Richards, member of
the foreign affairs committee, said in
an interview here tonight, that he did
not feel President Roosevelt should or'
*ould order convoys for ships .to bei
leagured Britain without the consent
of congress, ,
"Copgress alone has the right to
declare war." Mr. Richards pointed
oat. "and convoying would be equivalent
to u declaration of-war tor war
would surely follow. If we must
tight, and it is possible that we must,
wo'Should choose our own time und
our own ground."
The Fifth district oongressman,
here to address the annual spring
Meeting of the Chester County Council
of Farm Wfcmen, expressed approval
of hfelplpg the democracies
with all aid short of war and commented
that the next step to be considered
by America Is the question of
direct Involvement.
"As I go Around tho district, many
people ask me why don't we see that
the materials we are shipping Great
Britain get there. My reply le If we
see that these materials got thoro It
means armed convoys and In tho
the words of t|?o President, 'Convoys
mean shooting and shooting mpans
war'. Porsonally, 1 do uot want to see
tho Culled States dragged into this
war."
Mr. Richards further asserted that,
the bulwark of this country and its
free people Is a free press, free
speech and tolerance of other peoples'
opinions. He stated that thoro are
many people in this country who bolieVe
we should enter this war now.
that there are others who believe we
should not, that each should credit
the views of the othor with good intention
and honesty. The time for
free discussion und free thinking is
now. Once fighting begins, no true
American cap do anything but put his
shoulders to the wheel and do his
part. Then It will be oil-out war as
now it should be all-out defense."
The congressman declared: "We
must have all-out team work, honest
team A'ork between the government
and business, labor and management,
Republicans and Democrats, city and
farm. The talk is freedom. What
will it profit business, labor and the
individual If they squabble now In
this, emergency and thereby lose the
freedom bequeathed to us by our
fathers." '
In the 1938 fiscal year, air lines
flew approximately IS,40d,000 miles |
per passenger fatality; in the fiscal
year 1939 this figure had increased
to 18.400.000 miles. In/the calendar
year 1940, the figure jumped to 32,260,000
miles, or an improvement of
170 per cent over the fiscal year of
1938.

the same engine ip the same model
develops 125 horsepower and goes 21.5

There's more from less gasoline ?and
it comes, literally, out of thin air.
Because the two carburetors in this
