Friday, May 23, 1941 THINKING THINQ8 OVER Properly cured and preserved meats, vegetables, fruits and borrles keep a long time. Unprocessed grulus also may be kept from year to year, If well stored. A cow can live, if need be, on pasture grass, and chickens can live on homo-grown feed. Hut what's the sense In those statements? Nothing very hot, perhaps; Just some thoughts running through the mind. Thoughts of what may happen when the lot-down comes, aflil how lucky forcslghted farmers will he if that let-down Is as uncomfortable as it may be. Even when money is not worth much, food is all right. In fact, if a loaf of bread should sell (or 25 cents, it woulld he no more sustaining than a loaf that cost u farmer nothing except a little labor. And If hunt rises to 50 cents a pound, a year or two years or three years hence. It will taste no better than a hum tuken from a pole in the smokehouse.... Just thinking over possibilities. That's all.?The State. It has been the contention of this paper that no class of people can view changing conditions In this chaotic world with such a feeling of , security as the American farmer? particularly the farmers of our Southland. There are many who predict that the let-down following the present war will be jolting, If not downright paralyzing, and, with tho depression still fresh In our minds, those predictions cannot help but be disquieting. As The State polnta out, the fluctuation of the dollar lu no way affects the food value of the food and feed crops of the farm, and the sweetness of a country ham changes not whether it he worth 10 cents u pound or 50. And yet Chunson college reports ihere are farms In South Carolina? if such they can he called?without '-lings, nor cows, nor chickens.?Lexington Dispatch.

A good quest Ion to answer Ik. why s early diagnosis of tuberculosis linportant? There are two answers.--a tolflsh one and an unselfish one. Self-protection and economy are the keywords for the selfish answer. Ah u rule, a ease of tuberculosis doe? not become u spreader case until the llsease has made some Inroads. 1'he earlier the case Is detected the less the chances for the Infection to be scattered among the associates of the victim of active tuberculosis. Finding tuberculosis early will help reduce the prevalence of the disease by preventing the "seeding'.' Sometimes to he early enough, a diagnosis should be made almost at the very onset of Illness, Listen to this true story. There la 111 the sanatorium at State Park hopelessly 111 a man about twenty years of ago, who has been feeling badly only about two and one half months. The llrst part of March he was- sick wlt1\ what was called pneumonia. Within about two weeks, he was able to get up but did not recover strength. Ho tried to take up active life again but could not Jaold out either at work or during exercise. Hy the latter part of April, lie had lout so much ground physically, that further medical advice was sought. U was found that In so short a time.'far advanced tuberculosis was present In one lung with considerable spread Into the other lung. Added to the physical loss In dealing with tuberculosis, the cost of treatment is to he considered. No matter how treatment of these cuses is paid for In the beginning, most of them eventually become the financial problem of the community. Is It not good business to make public expense uh small as possible f Cases diagnosed early take less time to cure and many times are restored to health to the extent of again haying tho physical strength to earn a living. ' The Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association Is counting on every public-minded citizen to nsslst In rendering service by helping to carry to the four corners of the county tho message, "In dealing with tuberculosis, early diagnosis is of almost Importance both for the welfare of the patient and tho entire community." TUNG TREES The tung oil nut tree Is now In full flower In south Georgia and as the Macon Telegraph observes. "TouriPts are realizing for tho first time that a new element of combined beauty and utility has been added to the roadside panorama by the development of large groves." It has been demonstrated by several years of experimental planting that these trees are entirely adapted to the soli and climate of south Georgia, in which section their nut crop gathered since Christmas was a profitable one. Georgia, farmers, " especially the itnall farmer, are urged to plant tung :rebs by nr. C. C. Concanon, chief of ihe chemical division of the federal lepartment of commerce. In Atlanta Journal news story Dr. Concannon uiys that these frees which produce i valuable oil produc t necessary. to: he trade and which Is difficult to >hfain from China now. will net the armor an average of $ GO an acre, if n* is willing to wait live or six years or ibt* trees to begin bearing. He loe.-H not favor extensive acreage ilantod. but small groves of from two io four ai'n's. Tung oil is used primarily in th'e manufacture of varnish.

The Committee to Defend Aqpercla by Aiding the Allies called on the President and the Congress of the United Stutea to face the Issues of the war threat by declaring ? statu of national emergency and I lining U. ?. warships to couvoy war inaterlala to Great Britain. In an official statement laaued May 7, 1941, the Committee urged the people and the Government of the United States to stop trying to evade the unpleasant truth and to throw the nation's full Industrial strength Into the common cause with Britain, and to guard I the sea lanes to the ilrltlsh Islands by whatever meanH necessary. The statement warned that such j [ action might lead to open conflict, with the Axis. Hut the choice before the United States Is not peace or war I with Germany but acceptance of the Nazi scheme or complete resistance. At present this country Is In a posl-, tiou to play a vital role In the defense I of the forces of freedom. If the opportunity for complete aid Is Ignored, the United States will later be exposed lo the full force of the Axis power . with no friendly powers to share the bprden. The committee called upon Congress and the President to enact the following measures: The declaration of a full state of uatlonal emergency. Employment of the naval and altforces of the nation to safeguard the I lifeline between the Western Hemisphere and the British Isles. SpeciliI tally we support use of American armed forces for police, convoy or In whatever way Is most effective to Insure delivery of our goods to those I nations resisting aggression. Cooperation wtlh Great Britain and her Allies for the employment of our united military resources to safeguard the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic and the Pacific against further Axis aggression. Effective aid to China. Rigid embargo against Japan. Clear Indication to Japan of our determination to prevent a conquest of Singapore and the Dutch East Indies. Freezing of Axis assets. Control of subversive propaganda and sabotage emanating from Axis consulates by whatever measures may be necessary, 1 including severance of diplomatic relations. Declaration of the intention of fhe | United States to take its full respouI nihility in organizing enduring pence I on the basis of political, social and I economic justice. The American people must now prepare themselves to face this responsibility." It is the opinion of many that this Is not simply a war between Great Britain and Germany, but a struggle to determine whether a Republic like our own shall exist or whether the world is to be ruled exclusively by the dictators. The National Policy Board of the Committee is headed by Dew is W. Douglas, former Budget Director of lite United States Government. Included among the vice-chairmen are Barry Bingham, publisher of the Louisville, Ky.. Courier-Journal; Douglas Fairbanks. Jr.. motion picture actor; Robert E. .Sherwood. New York playwright: Mrs. J.

HE88' CAPTURE DOE8 NOT * CHANGE WAR PICTURE In the excitement followln the fantastic capture of Iludolph Hess, No. 3 Nazi, in Scotland, there Is danger that the people of the United States will lose flight of the Important fact about the war. Regardless of the ultimate benefit Great Britain may derive from his capture, It must be remembered that at present the British are gravely threatened, that the tremendous loss of shipping in the Atlantic still continues, and that the British people are nightly subjected to poundings from huge numbers of Nazi bombers. The postponement of President Franklin 1). Roosevelt's long-awaited speech from May 14th to May 27th has probably delayed any official United ^States action on the convoy issue. But responsible officials Including Secretary of War Henry L, Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, jtre of the opinion that, regardless of the cost, the United States must take stepB to insure delivery of British war materials. The capture of Rudolph Hess does ; not necessarily mean that the Nazi 'machine is. ready to collapse. German successes to date have proved that Adolf Hitler still maintains a united nation behind him. It 1b inconceivable that the Nazis would collapse internally at the peak of their war effort. If the German people ever do revolt, it will probably follow severe reverses In the war. The fnct cannot he overemphasized that, as far as the immediate course of the war is concerned, the picture has not been changed. Great Britain desperutely needs United States war materials delivered in England. War supplies do no good lying on docks in this country or, even worse, lying at the bottom of the ocean because of inadequate protection from Nazi submarines and bombers. In this country the issue is still Lclear. To gain time properly to preI pare the Army. Navy and Air Force the United States must see that goods manufactured for Britain under the Lend-Lease bill arrive on English shores in ever increasing amounts. Mrs. A. E. B.
