? ?WH?PW QRUISIN* ROUND WITH THE SKIPPER Tea. wo attend the bail game last Thursday. At least part ot it? to be exact two hours aud a half or 8eveu innings. Jh-ankly, that isn't baseball as we like it. 1* And we want to go on record right now iu saying that unless the pro* gram is better organised, and. by that we mean starting the games at a reasonable hour and then keeping them going?It will be Impossible, to revive baseball interest In Camden. V % What we would like to see la to ntart the games on time and have the umpires keep the tempo at a fast gait. To see the players wander out after their turn at bat as if they were going to an execution Is heck on a fan's patience. & * So far as the playing end of that Camden-Darlington game is concernpd?we were not at all crestfallen. It was a putrid exhibition of baseball we'll admit, but when you consider it was the first time the^Camden talent has played together?well, we did not expect to see errorless ball. If we were from DarllngtSn, we would have been a bit ashamed of the burlesque exhibition that outfit put up for the reason those kids have been playing together and should have been farther advanced. 9 m m 9 Game musings?getting hungry when we spotted Lee Little and his bag of peanuts.

The only way we can avoid Indigestion and enjoy life Is to keep away from the newspapers and the strike news. .. . ? f * For a fact, everybody from railway engineers and firemen through lumber workers and airplane mechanics, are all sticking their hands out aud yelling, "gimme, gimme". * * V Unless some drastic action is taken in regard to these strikes this nation is going to have a heck of a time saving itself, much less England. ? Au experienced Darlington Junior Legion team defeated the Camden Juniors last Thursday on the home lot by a score of 17 to 8. The visitors gathered 14 hits which with eight walks and a group of errors netted them the 17 counters. It was the first game that Camden boys played together as a team. On Friday the Camdenites invaded Darlington and lost 4 to 0. However the team showed marked Improvement in the second encounter and with the four practice games scheduled this week should be in good shape when the district play is started. * We were proud of the welcome Camden extended those 'fine British lads who arrived Saturday evening at 9:56 via the Seaboard. As we stood and watched those boys, some of them mere kids, climb out of the coach which had brought them all the way from Ottowa, Canada, we felt a flush of pride to know that the same fine English blood was in our veins. And when we yent to the air field Sunday and scanned the registration records, we found that many of the lads came from areas wherein we have many relatives in dear old England. We hope to find that we have many friends in common with thefce FmgMsh lads. Ji I wonder if it occurred to many in that great throng at the station that back some 161 years or more, Americans battled British over the same area where on Saturday the Yanks gave the English a big welcome. Yes | verily the British came again, but i this time they were greeted with cheers and not gunfire. . k lady who reads the papers diligently called up Monday to ask what would happen if the governpjuent declares gasless Sundays. It just so happened we had been reading in a metropolitan paper an explanation of the very thing the lady was asking about. It would appear from what we read that if the gasless Sunday edict goes into effect, you and I and a lot of other folks are going to find out what real -, sport ~ walking is. Frankly we look for a gradual reduction of our waist line-glory be. Yes, folks, if and when the gasless Sunday regulation is established It will mean that your jalopy will remain in the garage on that day. The only cars to be permitted to operate will be those of physicians, or in defense areas, those of military men and defense workers. ' Which means walking to church, "down town for a dope or if ydu are going for a swim?well?it would be ft- darn long walk. All the above would happen if present plans are carried, out. Whether they will or whether there will be a modification of Tome of the reported regulations?remains to be seen.

C., June 6?Legisla- ( tlon providing stiff prison senteucee j find tines for those who interfere with | Army aud Navy enlistments during j the current emergeucy was passed | by the House on Tuesday aud sent to ] the Senate. The bill would provide ; imprisonment up to 20 years and flues , up to |10,000 for violation. , The Navy Tuesday launched g ship* i building speed-up program based on i a doctrine successfully used during the World War?that Americans can do wonders spurred by competiton and patriotism. Announcing plans for a series of competitions among shipyards and individuals calculated to arouse the spirit of workers to war-time pitch, Secretary Knox called for a production miracle. At a conference of 160 shipbuilders Secretary Knox said that we musK.do something more than an honest . day's work. We must have the kind of spirit and the kind of zeal that animate men when they go into battle. The shipbuilders were asked to work out detailed plans for the competitions, which may include Governmentpaid bonuses, and appointed a com- ' mittee to handle the matter. The Army this week awarded contracts totaling more than 1320,000,000 for an estimated 1,000 long-range bombers. Described by the War Department as being designed to further President Roosevelt's goal for a 600-per-month bomber production, the huge awards were all for the heavy, four-engine planes capable of flying 5,000 miles nonstop. One award for $226,636,200 was made to Consolidate ed Aircraft Corporation, San Diego, California, and the other, for $95,242,696, went to the Boeing Aircraft Company ot Seattle, Washington.! Both contracts include spare parts. The War Department said that many of the ships ordered from Consolidated probably would be assembled in the new Government-owned assembly plant at Fort Worth, Texas, to be operated by Consolidated, while many of the Boeing 'flying fortresses" are expected to be assembled at the new Wichita, Kansas, assembly plant. President Roosevelt opening the $10,765,000 drive of the United Service Organizations for National Defense, Tuesday night called for contributions from all who possibly can because the cause was the first concern of every citizen. The Chief Executive's appeal, read by Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt in a broadcast from Los Angeles over three piajor networks, Btreesed the importance .of the fund for providing soldier recreation facilities because recreation is part of our total defense program. On the same program contributions were urged by Army and Navy leaders and head of the campaign, including Charles P. Taft, assistant security administrator in charge of health, welfare and related defense activtities, from Indianapolis; District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey, national chairman of the drive, and Walter Hovering, president of the United Service Organizations, from New York. In his message the President called contribution to the fund both a local and a national responsibility. The campaign goal of $1,0,765,000 will provide necessary services in hundreds of towns for many thousands of young men and women. Contributors are warned against giving money to persons who are not in possession of official United Service Organization (U. S. O.) receipts and who fail to produce credentials upon request. Mayor LaGuardla, recently appointed by President Roosevelt, to head the new Office of Civilian Defense is is very anxious to have the cooperation of every American. In order to unite the American people for defense it is urgent that a few simple facts about the present war be considered fully and also what these facts mean for the United States. The fact that the Amerclan people are divided today on what i? national defense means that we must work together for real national defense. National unity can never be had until millions of Amrelcans face the simple fact of what national defense means. The present war has shown clearly that there is no such thing as national defense except when a nation is prepared well enough to take the offensive against Its enemies. Therefore, the American people must unite on building a navy, a mechanised army, and enough planes to quickly assume the offensive against any enemy. The United States can only defend Itselfv by being equipped to strike any enemy,* anywhere in the world, at its own home base rather - ? rr~"T~. than sitting at home waiting to defend America. There is only one way to defend our country and that is^ to be prepared to Lake the offensive anywhere in the world.
