A FITTING RECOGNITION
TIiIh editorial, written by tho Skipper,
Is Intended us a recognition of a
man, who In the years the writer has
boon actively Interested In Camden
i affairs, has failed to receive tho rocog1
nitlon we feed Is due him.
' Under his struggle Camden, high
school has won state wide fame and
renown, not only in academic work,
but also in athletics.
This man, toucher and athletic
coach, is of tho retiring type. He Is
over In tho background, except por^,
hups at a ball' f&me when wo have
always regarded him as being somewhat
In the fore ground.
He loves boys?loves the success.of
boys, ho loves to help them In
being successful. He gives unsparingly
of his time outside of school
hours In coaching boys ami girls In
athletics.
In another column of this paper Is
a story written by your skipper
describing the honors won by tho
boys of the agricultural classes over a
period of a few years, also of tho
prowess and lion,or which are distinctive
Camden In basketball and baseball.
Mr. Small, wo believe you are'entitled
to recognition for your splendid
achievements as ail agricultural
teacher. Your classes and your Jn-(
dividual students have brought much
prestige to Camden high school. Your
work as a basketball coach Is outstanding.
It needs no Introduction.
Sporting circles show full well who
built tlie line basketball machine of
the past four yeurs, twice state champions
and twice runners up for tho
title.
Coach Small, I'm Just a new? scrlbbier,
but I bollevo I .voice the opinion
of all the peoples of Camden when I
tell you that wo ure proud of your
work, proud of your efforts with our
boys and our girls.
Wy have worked side by aide with
you In sport programs. We have'
watched your untiring efforta to build
athletic sports. We have watched
the lino cooperation you have extended
to our own John VUlepiguo in the
football aeason.
Couch Small, l'rofuaaor Small, we
aalutu you twice.
Fine work old fellla.
THE DOCTOR 18 A SOLDIER
Karly in June, more than 7,500
American doctors went to Clovelaud,
Ohio. They went there to attend the
annual meeting of the American Medical
Association, which la the largest
meeting of its kind in the world.
And this year the gathering was of
more than ordinary interest, for its
dominant note was the role of medicine
in the national preparedness program.
It Is apparent that the public health
is a very vital factor In defense. And
that concerns more than the health
of our new and fast-expanding army,
Important as that is. It concerns the
health of the millions of men who
work In our factories, and who operate
the machines which produce the
implements of war. It concerns tho
health of farmers, who raise our food.
It concerns tho health of civilian population,
which must play its part in
one way or another to speed the defense
drive to a successful consummation.
The doctors of America aro tho custodians
of tho public health. Upon
'hem rests tho gigantic responsibility
of curbing and fighting those diseases
which take men's lives, which
reduce men's productive capacities,
which waste and destroy great human
resources. And nny layman, attending
tho Medical Association's meet-l
lugs, would have been mightily impressed
by how the doctors are meeting
that responsibility. More than
250 papers describing advances in
medicine were read, and elaborate
scientific und technical exhibits were
shown.
The doctor Is a soldier?a soldier
fighting an ever-lasting war against
disease and plague and death. Today
medicine is mobilized to make that
fight even more effective.
FOR A UNITED PEOPLK
, / i
Saturday Evening Post Changed
Polloy About War
Ono of the most important editorial
policy hwitches In recent yearH dopurred
recently when The Saturday
Evening Post decided to abandon Its
Isolationist position and accept the
views that this war IsjOT^ltal interest
to the United States. Though it did
not retract its former statements and
made *no secret of Its dislike for the
present situation, the national periodical
made it clear that both the
honor and security of the United
States are at stake.
The Importance of this change of
policy lies In the fact that the representative
magazines of conservative
Isolationism believes that national
honor Is worth fighting for. While
It deplores the steps that have
brought the United States close to
the brink of war, it believes that, once
this country had committed itself to
aid for Britain and all other nations
fighting aggression, It must go
through with its pledge, regardless of
tho cost.
The Post recognized that the United
States must either go forward or
turn hack. "And If we turn back, wo
shall bo remembered forever as the
Fulataff nation of the world boasting
of a power It did really possess, boasting
of how It would go forth ugalnst
the aggressor, and then changing Its
mind when the night came..In going
on we face the possibility of national
death." ,
This attludo should be 11 guide for
those who still hang back, for those
who perlstently Insists that this war
Is none of our business. The majority
of the people of the United States
bucket! the President in the last election.
In doing so they expressed
their confidence In his ability to guide
this nation through one of its most
trying periods. Surely, the leust any
United States citizen can do today
is to refrain from doing or saying
anything that will obstruct the President
In his attempts to deliver the
materials of >var to Great Britain.
This does not mean that there must
be an end to all criticism. There Is
a place for honest, sincere, construe-!
tive criticism to the end that the
job to which the United States is committed
is done quickly, efficiently
and economically. But the time for
blind name-calling and unreasoning
hysteria is gone. As an honorable
nation, the United States must make
good its promrises of nid and, as honorable
citizens, 'the people of this
I country must accept their share of
the burden and work toward this
end. The road this nation must
travel Is one of sacrifice and danger,
and it must not be' hampered by a
divided people.

WOMAN WHO DIED IN RAGS
LEFT ESTATE OF $74,783
When Miss Josephine Claudius, a
retired New York City school teacher
whose eccentric mode of travel on an
old-fashioned foot-propelled scooter
brought .her the name of "The Scooter
Lady," was found dead last year
there was every evidence that her
last years had been passed in squalor.
She was found on a pile of old newspapers
and bundles of fags she had
used for a bed in a tenement.
A tax appraisal filed a tew days ago
"reveaied, however, that Miss Claudius
left a net estate of $74,783. She had
$13,883.16 in eight savings accounts
and besides her home, owned two
lots adjacent to it, together with
other real estate.
It Is safer in the city than it is-in
the country during an electrical
storm since tall buildings have lightning
conductors and lightning seldom
strikes objects in the street.
