HOT on THE Kits Ju THE SKIPPER. U-. ??? gon of feeling Kinder serious right lhU minute sad so we are going to concentrate ou SWlous matters for a few paragraphs. * ? These are the days wheu It is peccary to get things done and to ipeed things along many devices are totng tried. Take the civil service tomniission in Washington -for iuidnce. The commission devised dickers to attach to letters or raeLpo requiring special attention. These stickers read "Urgent." Rearjebeut came and the stickers enlarged to "Very Urgeut." When that became sort of commonplace,'it was changed to -"Urgent-Today." But as the weeks and .months passed the Urgent-Today sticker became commonplace and now the im portant papers of the commission bear the legend "Frantic-Urgent." m Which reminds us that as things get frauticer and urgenter the civil j aervice commission will have to dig Into Dan Webster's book apd grab off ( iuch words as "Feverish," "Explosive." and the like. /"X Now on the leeward track?we are , inclined to believe that it is going to take time and lots of bloodshed to put the ideas of President Roosevelt I nd Winston Churchill across to the1 world, but it sure offers a real hope to the nations that have been trampled under the heel of Hitlerlsm. Household hints suggest the use of wndpaper to remove the shine from a Hue serge suit. We suggest that all that is needed to remove stains is a tharp scissors and a steady hand. * \>ottce department UP at Cheraw must be wearing red faces these days. Imagine having the police station of all places robbed. Not only was the hoosegow up in the Cheraw bailiwick robbed of cash, but the strangers also made away with the I police docket. The good people of | Cheraw can be very happy over the thought that the police chief is. still in their midst. ' ? The determination of the city council to provide for sewage disposal of j I that area of the city east of Mill street is mighty good news to the any industrial concerns having plants i the area in question. As a mat-; itr of fact there has been a demand lor sewage disposal in the area for some thirty years or more. A livetire city administration, realizing' that tin? taxpayers of that part of the tlty were entitled to the plant, acted ccordinglv. Just another forward tep in a progressive community. t ( Debunking Who's Who:?Every j time I s.?? a newspaper story about ?ome one listed in "Who's Who", I' roll down my right sleeve,. button it carefully and then sort of pulling it "h. blow into it with great gusto, emitting a real "ha-ha" when I do do. Never get excited about the guy who J k listed in who' who. Because , friends, a who's who listing costing a J fe* bucks and anyone, even A1 kpone.

You see folks, what you read in 0 who about a guy U that guy'a ^ own oplniou of bis own greatness? or is he great. The old gang had a name for It?blowing your own horn. f Getting into baseball?we note by the Sunday paper that Flint, Michigan, with a swell baseball machine, put the skids under Gastonla, In two games to win the meet. The Wolverine team really put on the pressure In the final and deciding game the score being 10 to 8. All the tournament dope favored Gastonla to make a clean sweep of the opposition from the north and when the Tarheel outfit spanked Manchester, New Hampshire with ease In two games it looked aa If the dopsters were going to be right. But Flint upset the bucket by mauling the Carolinians j|n two games. ?i Sunday musings?Sleeping late and getting up refreshed only to have our hopes dashed when we looked at the thermometer and found the mercury at 80.

Hearing from the Clarke's up in Wisconsin to the effect they will be back in Camden this week?probably getting here last night. Here's hopin' that the weather turns cooler, else all the good effects of a vacation in the bracing climate o? the Badger state will go haywire. ? One of these days we are going to boil over on the American Legion baseball program.

Monday and Tuesday, JAMES ELLISON AND DOROTHY LEWIS A new romantic team making it* initial appearance in Republic's film extravaganza, "Kce-Capades." _ r NAVY BLUE AND GOLD" 8HOWING LAST TIME8 TONIGHT ) Brought back by popular demand, M-G-M's stirring drama of the United States Naval Academy, "Navy Blue and Gold," to the Halglar screen last times tonight and ugaln proved Itself one of the most Interesting and entertaining pictures to come out of the Hollywodd studios. James Stewart, Hobert Young and Lionel Barrymore form the triple-star threat In this engrossing and dramatic tale of life at the naval academy, and all three turn in brilliant performances, aided by such cinema favorites as Florence Rice, playing the romantic Interest, Billie Burke, Tom Brown, Samuel S. Hinds. Paul Kelly and Barnett Parker. "Navy Blue and Gold" is the story of three midshipmen at Annapolis who come to the academy from different environments and happen to draw the same quarters for their first year. All three of them are essentially fine, but with varying motives. Stewart portrays a gob up from the bowels of a battleship who passes his examinations for the Academy In the hope of winning stripes. Young is seen as a football husky from the South who frankly has no Intention of remaining In the service. Tom Brown is the son of a wealthy family and brother of a charming girl, played by the attractive and talented Florence Rice. Lionel Barrymore agains gives a characteristic performance of sterling value as the veteran coach and retired naval officer who retains his interest and enthusiasm for the high ideals of youth. Just before the Army-Navy game is scheduled, Stewart Is involved in a dramatic scandal when It is learned that he entered the Academy under an assumed name, owing to a rumored stain on the escutcheon of his father, a former navy ofTJcer. He clears his name apd with Young and Brown in the. Navy line beside him, the sailors defeat Army in 3 game that Is as exciting as the newsreel records of today's gridiron- battles. The direction by that distinguished veteran, Sam Wood, ranks with the best that has been demonstrated in many months. There is beautiful photography by John Seltz and throughout the picture there Is the undeniable stamp or authenticity. "Navy Blue and Gold" will hold every theatre patron for it has the qualities which interest alt ages and all sorts of people. Great Interest In Forestry Train (ContlE~sd from first page) 1 The first car is built around the 1 theme "The South's Forest Resources are Vital to Everyone's Welfare", and the arrangement here shows how and why forests are essential to all groups of people. A series of photographic illustrations in color and various col: Jections of forest products arranged hgalnst a forested' background show how the forests affect the welfare of the workman, the farmer, the housewife, the business man, the sportsman, the community and the school child. Foresters are agreed'that the matter of keeping the country's forests producing the thousands of things the American people need from them depends on the attitude of the Individual citizen. The gifts and services of the forests, indispensable to the general welfare is taken for granted by theaverage citizen. Enlightened selfIntereBt is one of the best ways to change this public attitude and to spread the forest conservation idea, and the exhibit was constructed around this principle. The grouping and classification enables each person entering the Car to visualize personal benefits from the forests and sharpens his awareness of the thousand and one things that forests supply. For Instance, the section relating to the workman emphasizes the opportunities' for employment which the forest affords and the saws, hammers, shovels, planes, rules and other items call attention to the fact that the forest not only provides work,, but also the tools with which to perform that work. The community section with its municipal watersheds, its Industrie^ churches, schools, and Its family groups further emphasises the I dependence of man on products of the J forest. Each visitor carries away a new impression of forests in his per-l sonal life and ft the economic and industrial Ufa of the country. The bus-' %- sf1? -, 7 ? lness man Is reminded that forests furnish the raw materials that keep the wheels of industry turning; the farmer, is reminded that he can help defend his country by defending his trees when he realizes that productive farm woodlands are part insurance against factories blighted with idleness and people haunted with want and Insecurity; .the sportsman and the recreatlonist realizes that he is partly dependent upon forest resources for fishing, hunting, swimming and a long list of other leisuretime activities. The second car depicts in one scene the waste and devastation caused by uncontrolled forest fire and poor cutting practices. Another scene of green, productive forests shows the efTects of proper Are protection, the young trees, and the loads of forest products on the way to market illustrate the logic of proper cutting practices^ An illuminated display board used as a focal point urges state-wide protection and reminds the individual what he can do to hfelp. As the first car strtssses the benefits and services of forests, the second car carries the thought that to enjoy these benefits and services, forests must have care. The third car, fitted up ajs a motion picture theatre,, permitted educational forestry films to be shown while the train was on exhibition. State and federal foresters accompanied the train and consulted with landowners and farmers concerning their forestry problems. The cooperation agencies also distributed forest literature applicable to this region. The entire exhibit snows uncontrolled forest fire a^ & destroyer of resources which must be vlgorousy dealt with in order to conserve the resource foundations under our farms and factories. It shows that in addition to! the staggering monetary loss, forest fire can disrupt whole communities. Industries and transportation systems. It is ? timely TftRkfcl reminder that should be far-reaching In arousing the public to (he Immediate need of forest fire prevention. It was estimated by Mr. Olllette that afouhd one thousand people visited the train daring Tneeday. "JITTERBUG QUEEN OF ICE" CAST IN NEW EXTRAVAGANZA Lois Dworshak, known as "the Jitterbug queen of the ice" through her spectacular awing routine in Republic's "Ice-CapadOH," showing at the Halgiar theatre, Monday and Tuesday, has more jobs waiting for her than she knows what to do with. She has a standing offer from several colleges to teach painting and music whenever she's ready to forsake her ice-skating career. Lois was an honor student at Carleton College, and she was ofTered two scholarships when she graduated. She had a choice of either studying piano In Europe or receiving a scholarship at the Art Students' League in New York City. She chose the latter, but interrupter her studies at the art school to achieve stardom in the road show production of "Ice-Capades." When Republic bought film rights, Lois was brought to Hollywood to bring her ultra modern "Jive" routine to the screen. LoN is a native of Duluth, and acquired her skating proficiency on ice rinks in her native city, then studied under Felix Grafsetrom, Swedish champion. This special training enabled Lois to win the Northwest amateur figure skating championship at the age of fifteen. Following her graduation from Duluth Central High School she entered Carleton College and developed into a top-flight Btudent. She continued her skating, however, even after she went to New York to enter the Art Students' League, and her ability brought her back to the ice as a featured performer In "Ice Follies. She subsequently appeared in "Ice Vanities" and "St. Moritz Express," and then accepted an offer to join the foe-Capades troupe. In her spare time Lois paints and hopes to hold an exhibition of her works m the near future. She has several teaching offers open to her if she ever forsakes ice skating, but it is quite possible that when she acquires a comfortable nest egg she'll buy a cattle ranch in the west. Her grandfather, who is in his 80's, was a farmer and she has the urge to be close to the soil. I * Thousands To Be Spent For Comfort! Fort Jackson, S. C., August 27?

Standard Time To Return September 28 You folks who have been getting up in the hours of darkness because of the daylight saving schedule, will be glad of the announcement from Governor Burnet R. Maybank that the daylight saving hysteria will close on September 28. On the morning of that day the state will be on the old eastern standard time schedule. The return to normal time will be greeted with acclaim by the majority I of people, many whom have fretted under the long hot evenings. The daylight saving plan was adopted to conserve electric energy, but when heavy rains filled the rivers and relieved the situation at the hydroelectric plants, there was no need o? further conservation. * And there will always be a question as to whether there was any actual conservation of electrical energy accomplished, especially In South Carolina.
