Auyhow, after ,he first ulgbt when you set your clock ahead, you'll never notice the change, outside of the fact that the evenings will be a bit longer. ? * We tako it that any daylight schedule which may be adopted will ho for tho duration of the summer aud early fall months and not for the winter period. c The best thought of .. the " day omea from a chap named D. C. Griggs* of Alberniarle, who writes "South Carolina's tntut'o would be atfsured If the present would get out of the past." Ain't that the truth. '? 3 Anil from Emmet T. Scogglns of Jefferson* S. C. comes this dellctou; little gem "Traveling a little bit south of North Carolina one passes from howling confusion into blissful paradise and yqu Maybank on that." ? t The Irish festival, held at Sumter last Friday was a colorful affair and well programmed. Quite a number of Camden people motored over to the event. m * * i And by the way, just as an i,tem of Interest?there must have been quite a number of Camden base ball fans In attendance at the first Sunday ball game In Columbia. While in the state capital the other afternoon we stopped in at baseball headquarters i and learned that some fifty requests for reservations for the Sunday afternoon baseball debut of the Reds had come from Camden. * Which causes us to wonder if those fifty Camden sports will be sports enough to attend the Junior Legion pines in Camden this summer. Gosh, ( tho high school or Harrisburg earns had had 50 fans at any one same here the management of either would have fainted. t n We are seriously considering placing a sign in the window of our office requesting radio fans to take their complaints relative to local interference over on Rutledge street. Honestly folks, we have done everything possible to have the air cleared of the mess of noises, but apparently It's no dice. ' V * The polo game between a team of Camden poloists and a WinstonFhIpih team at Winston Sale^m last Friday came to an abrupt end when Karl Shaw, well known poloist was throw n from his horse and suffered n brain < oncusslon and also a fracmre?!

Roddy, a big hunk of a Wis I " - - . _ kid who has been In high school since the civil war, pitched for the Falls team and while hit work was a bit better than that offered by tbe duo of Kingstree Hlabblsta, it wasn't anything to write home about. -K , It was an even game for about ftve j lunlugs. Kingston had the heart taken out of the gang when Umpire Stoddard pulled the prize boner of the ' afternoon on a decision at second. There w.as one outataudlug feature ! of the game however which we would like to drive home to Camden sport fans?and that was manner in which the Great Falls fans turned out. They came by the hundreds and almost tore the roof off the grandstand with their rooting. Even Klngstree sent a big crowd of fans. As a matter of fact there were more folks in the baseball park last Saturday than there has been at any time since Syracuse played Augusta in 1938 In the formal opeuing of the new park. ?rrn Which brings us right down to the local baseball picture. The legion team, a smart alert outfit, is starting what should be a successful season. Are Camden fans going to turn the lads down this year as in the past by staying away from the games? The High school, baseball program was such a flop that there wasn't sufficient money taken in at the game to pay for the balls used. The Harrisburg training season games were played to empty seats. ? Another^a^cture?Great Falls?not 1 half as b^Hii community as Camden. But they had a good high school team and supported it well. They alaoi i boast of a semi-pro team that gets fine support. We hear Great Falls i will have a Junior Legion team this season. We'll bet the fans will turn out in support of this third team. How about it Camden fans? i * * * * j Oh Hum! We like baseball, in fact, all sports so well, it just burns us up to see the apathetic attitude on the part of the sporting public here. Think we'll organize a tatting club. It ought to be a wow. While crabbing, let's take a shot at the monopolistic, unions. Great Snakes, wouldn't you think that at a time when public morale is so important that the government would step in and stop the strikes. What is I keeping the department of Justice from stepping in and stopping all this communistic fifth column ' activity which is badly crippling the defense program ? Court ruling my friends, i just cout rulings * * * * ? There is one thing that is very much in evidence in regard to these strikes?the American public , is getting darned tired of them and one of these days Mr. John Q. Public Is going to take things in his own hands, despite the rulings of the New Deal courts. 1 * * Speaking of polo?that game at Winston-Salem Sunday was a riot of fun. Seeing Rubber DuBose riding a bangtail that had been bred for slow motion pictures and M. B. Burns play-( ing so hard he was pantless. Woll folks, you sure missed a rare spectacle.

It was a ringing declaration of Western Hemisphere solidarity. It Included reassertion of the doctrine of freedom of the seas. Determination to give material aid to the embattled democracies of the world, determination to resist attack with armed force, assertion that Hitler is a world threat and a mortal enemy of democracy, proposal to Increase our National Defense by every possible meaus, and the declaration that an ' unlimited national emergency exists. Most of the points made by the President was only reassertion of the foreign policy qf the United States. Undoubtedly the outstanding declaration of his* a pooch?was?the?notice that he was issuing a proclmation that an unlimited national emergency now exists and requires the strengthening of our defense to the extreme limit of national power and authority. This declaration shows that the President is determined to exerciso the power vested in him as President and as Commander-in-Chief of our Army and Navy, not only to prepare for any enemies from without but also to handle the situation from within. It is notice to capital and management that the Government itself, will take over defense plants In this country if there is any indication of desire to hamper our defense* 'progress. It is notice to labor that no labor organi-i zation or individual has a right by strikes or otherwise to hold up work in plants engaged in defense work. The President aptly pointed out that if Hitler wins this war and dominates the world, the rights of both capital and labor, guaranteed by our Constitution and subsequently perfected by the Executive, the Judiciary, and the Legislative Departments of our Govsrnment, will be a thing of the past; that the right of labor to bargain and the right of. capital to profit are hanging in the balance; that in the fight to preserve these rights and under the proclamation of unlimited emergency, no group, organization*, or inlividual in this nation will be allowed the right to sabotage the varied iefense efforts that have been Instituted to protect the rights aforementioned. I might say that it is very ?ratifying to me and other Members jr Congress from the South to T>e' ible to point out to Representatives 'rom~ other sections of the country hat in the South today both capital ind labor are sacrificing and working land in hand in order that this great country may meet this emergency as jur forefathers would have us meet t. No .one knows what the future will lold. It is the earnest desire of ill of us that wo may not become involved in war, but it must be reincm>ered that under the Constitution of ho United States, the President is n charge of our foreign policy. Some nistakes he has made, and lie will irobably make more,. but if -war omes, and come#it may, it is the duty >f every American citizen to put his shoulder to the wheel and see it hrough to victory. it was IgootT ' news to-7 farmers hroughout the country, particularly otton farmers, that the Prssident anlounced Monday his signature of the ,ct providing mandatory loans of ighty-flve (85) per cent parity prices n major crops, 011 condition, he says, hat the separate parity payments nd soil conservation payments shall ,ot exceed parity figures. Parity is he price farm commodites must iring to give a farmer buying power qual to tlie period from 1909 to 1914. loth the House and Senate had passd the Parity Ix>an Bill with a majorty -far above the two-thirds required 0 override a vmo. Growers of wheat, otton, corn, rice, and tobacco, the ve major commodities, are eligible or loans. 13.6 tent* a pound for coton, 71 cents a bushel for corn, 97 ents a bushel for wheat, 89 cents a ushel for rice,' and 20 cents a pound or tobacco were forecast under the 111. The President expressed belief hat penalties for non-compliance Jth cotton and rice allotments hould be increased. It is believed oat the signature of the President to lis bill will bring a long fight to give le farmer an even break on the maret and sold on an unprotected maret, which has kept him In virtual lavery. 7.

(formerly Sarah Doby Kennedy) who now Uvea with him and his family. Mrs. Burrows la probably one of Kerahaw comity's oldest citizens? > havtiiK been, aa aha said "born May 2t, 18f?2, and bred in dear old Cuiudon and raised up In Bethosdu Preabyterlan church where her* father. Anthony Kennedy, was a ruling elder for thirty-threo* years." The church record of Baptisms, of 1852, has this entry: "Sarah lkdiy Kennedy, daughter of A. M. and Sarah Ann Kennedy." The place where I was born, she reminisced, was the large old brick house on Broad street, with the tine old trees and the garden that Mother planted. Incidentally, this garden waa laid out by Crammond, a famous landscape gardener, and the house built by James Clark, and later purchased by Mr. Kennedy, wap burned in 1883. The grounds originally extended from the Library Square to the brick* house?the Bishop Davis hous^ -now used by N, M- Fobl as an, antique shop. The gardens still contain some of the few red-cheslnut j ouks In Camden. Mrs. Burrow's ed* I uoatiou was received at the famous "School for Young Ladies," conducted by Mrs. Leslie McCandloss?she , and her husbund being both thorough i sscotch tutors. From tho same Presbyterian church she was married when only eighteen years of ugq. to Major Edward Flud j Burrows, oue of the most extensive planters' of Sumter county, and their home for years was the now wellknown "The CedarB and The Pines," j near Bradford Springs?owned by Colonel Clark Williams, who has made it into a show-place for local ?as well as foreign visitors. And by way of parenthesis, has done so much towards educating the youth of the Southland and elsewhere by his liberal help In giving them scholarships to The Citadel, the military college of 8outh Carolina. Here, it was that, Mrs. Burrows endeared herself to the entire neighborhood?white And colored?by her charming personality, extensive hospitality and generosity and her lovable, Christian character. Truly a "(Lady of the Old School." Time has not dimmed?nor the years effaced these natural traits. Three sons?William Burrows, Stanyarne Burrows and Alexander Burrows?live almost within hailing distance of each other and they and numerous grandchildren?nieces and nephews, rise up nnd call her blessed. Mrs. Burrows Is the last of her Immediate family?her brothers and sisters?(Jeneral John D. Kennedy, Elizabeth Doby (Mrs. Alfred E. Doby) and Alexander Dalton Kennedy-?liav-, Ing "gone before." The following invitation has recently been received in Camden: "Lawson Dunn Falls requests the honour of your presence at the mariage of his daughter, Mary Frances, to Stanyarne Burrows, Jr., on Wednesday, the. fourth of June, at half after live o'clock, Calvary Episcopal church, Memphis, Tennessee." # i Mr. Burrows ijk 1the grandson of | Mrs. Burrows anwSlr. and Mrs. Stanyarne Burrows will attend the wedding. ... j. Million Men Will Register On July 1 Washington, May 26?Approxl- | mutely 1,000,000 young: men who have become 21 yearn old since October | 16 or will reach that age In the next ] five weekn were odered by President ^? Koosevult today to register on July 1 for possible military training. , The registration will bo conducted; 1 by the selective service system's 6,- i 600 boards throughout the country < and the new men signed up In each i area are expected to be put at the bot- I torn of their local draft lists In au oredr of priority among themselves to be determined by a now national . lottery. In u proclamation fixing the registration date, tho president said the "action was required tn tho Interests of the national defense" and detluod C^J 1 those who must register as all unregistered male citizens and uliena In tho United States, Ilawalt, Pueto Kico. and Alaska who have attained their twenty-first birthday on or before July 1. Some of those who have become 21 since tho first group of 16,506,000 men was signed up on October 16 already have fpglstercd and volunteer-1 j ed for a year of training. A provi ! ston of the draft law allows volun-! i tary service by men 18 to 21. The July 1 date was chosen, It was j understood. In order that men registering then would have time to find out beforo fall whether or not they might expect to' be called for duty. This would permit them to plan ahead for their fall and winter work on educational schedules. The manner of Integrating these new men with the first group of draftees In each local area has been under consideration here for several months. Two principal methods were studied, on^ called for sandwiching them among the original registrants by lottery, the other, for adding them to the end of the lists. Officials said today that the latter method probably would be used. It would work this way: Each man will get a registration number when he signs up. Each of the 6,600^ areas thus have a No. 1. No. 2 etc. One set of corresponding numbers then will be drawn in the liatlonal lottery. If "60" was the first num-t ber drawn, that would be "Order j No. 1" and men holding the number | 50 would bo tho first of tho new registrants called to nerve If thoro was no rehson for deferring them. Tho exception is that thousands of the men registered July 1 will bo called for service within a few ihpnths eveu though they are put at the end of their local draft lists. Officials said that local boards will be inclined to go quickly through their older registrants in order to reach men who have neither dependents nor essential employment and are at an age which the army wants.

That patienta, especially those who liave *to leave home to go to State I'ark appreciate the devotion of Mlsa rhomas to every phase of her work was expressed a few days ago by aonie' one, who had recently come liom'e after a long stay in the saua* [orium, who said, "Miss Thomas uftor duo of your visits, patients all around me would say, 'I wish had a nurse like that to look after me. She comes to see about you and looks, after getting the things needed to make you comfortable, too. She is about the only nurse in the whole State that pays you much attention after you leave home to go to thq sanatorium., " Tuberculosis cases at home also recognize the values of the tuberculosis nurse as portrayed by Miss Thomas. Not long ago, one of the cases at home remarked during a visit being made by the nurse, "Do you remember tho day you came when I ?was so down-hearted and depressed? After you got me to thinking about other things, I had a good appetite for my dinner and felt in much better spirits for the rest of the day."
