Friday, 8eptomber 8, 1841 MORALE The fear-mongers, the gloom-dlspeusera, the quislings and all their Ilk, ure currently up to the subtlest In their long repertory of devices designed to Impair the defense effort. First ? wo were told normally would win the war in a month; next we wore apprised that the war was strictly a European affair in which our Interests were not concerned; than we were informed we could never convert qur economy to u defense effort; and dually. It la rovealed that our army, enlisted men us well aa selectees, are utterly lacking In moralb. . Call a man a dog long enough and he'll begin to feel like a dog; the motive behind our Inner-enoiny's whispering campaign Is to take advantage of this psychological fact, and convort tho normal healthy grumbling of a bunch of young men Into active discontent, disobedience, and even sabotage. The American soldier remains, liowover. tho best clothed, host fed. best paid, and probkbly tho best?-soldlor | In the world. This lack of "morale" was a phenomenon of the last World War as well; but once he landed In France, tho doughboy became known as the most vicious, the most valorous, the most utterly heroic, of all the forces engaged In that Inconsequential! (?) combat. This will prove true again. The | European war still seems far away; the delicate and critical position of the j United States Is still scarcoly a matter of knowledge to most of us. But the patriotism and courage of the American soldier have not boen lost in two decades of peace; tho heritage of the pioneer Is still In our blood; and when the nood becomes apparent, the morale of our men will be manifest. SOME LIVESTOCK A prominent Alabama attorney and politician, upon one occasion responding to a speech mode by an equally prominent Georgian, In which the latter made disparaging remarks about the Alabama farmers, especially with reference to their lack of livestock, shouted to the audience?"Friends, If nil of the cows in Alabama was Just oue big cow. her horns would span the distance from Boston to Honolulu and she would give enough milk every day to fill Lake Erie twice. If she felt like switching, she could knock over IMko's Peak with one switch of her tall, and alio could drink tho Gulf of Mexico dry In three gulps." "If all of the bogs In Alabama wore just one big hog, he could eat all the corn raised in Georgia this year for Ills lunch. Ills grunt could be heurd on the moon, and be could root the Panama Canal in three roots " Hero there was so much applause that It was unanimously decided that the Alahaminu bad overw helmed bis opponent and the meeting adjourned. - Calhoun Times. OLD WAR THREADS PICKED UP Since we hear little anil read less about uuythlng except war, how about a few Civil War tatl-enda? I)o you know that Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, C. H., in the houae of Wllmer McLean? McLean owned a homo and farm at Hull lluu. After that first battle he decided to travel. He bought at Appomattox. 200 wiles awuy. Ilia homo wu* hint invaded by war and the second home by peace. John Wilkes Booth was not a Southerner, and owned no slave. Vanity and liquor supposed to have been 'the cause of hla killing Lincolu. Major 1 Kuthbone and hla aweetheart were with Mr. and Mra Lincoln at the theatre on the night of the shooting. lloaton Corbett, army sergeant, shot Booth. Appointed door keeper of the Kunaaa leglalature, he went craxy, locked In the aolona and began ahooting. No record of his killing one. It takoa a sure bullet to lilt a politician, In war of peace. Corbett died in the asylum. Major Ilathbone married Mlaa Hart-la. Later went crazy and killed himself and wife. The beat authorities do not agroe about Mra. Lincoln's sanity. Somewhat "cracked", but never too mludlesB to belabor and abuse Congreaa for robbing her out of the pension Iglven to other presidential widows. The bluck stain on President Andrew Johnson's record was hla allowing Mrs. Sarratt to hang as au accessory of John Wilkes Booth in the slaying of Lincoln. It was admitted that there was no evidence to convict Mrs. Sarratt. Her execution was a crime. Friends tried to reach Johnson to Intorcede for the unfortunate woman, but, for some reason, never explained. Senator Preston King, of New York, and Senator Lane, of Kansas, kept out the petitioners by main force. They had no orders to act. It must huve preyed on their minds. King committed suicide by drowning. Lune shot himself to death In Kansas. Johnson claimed that lies fooled him. Edward Stanton, secretary of war, and plastered with many crimes In connection with the war, was accused of cutting his own throat but denied by friends. Truly In the old days,' "War was hell," even to the losers. Fine business now for the colonels and genorals with fat salaries and who flght by telephone. Not one general got a scratch In the world war.?Calhoun Times. OUR VANISHING SHAD At cost of some temporary sacrifice by fishermen, und through the co! operation of the states of New York and New Jersey, "the shad run in the Hudson river", Which hnd all but ceased, "has been brought back almost to Its former abundance," and Is again an Important asset. But In South Carolina even so slight a shadconserving measure us the suspension of all fishing In the Edlsto river during the shad spawning season has so fur been denied. Legislation to that end languished and died In the general assembly. The opportunity will recur next January. A three-year study of the Edlsto situation is available, thanks to the Interest of the fish and wildlife service In the department of the Interior, and It is safe to assume, with a South Carolinian. Charles E. Jackson, acting director of that service. that federal experts will be disposable for counsel. "The Edlsto shad," Mr. Jackson has reported, "is recognized as one of the finest.' But however fine, the Edlsto shad is going. going, and without preservative measures will very soon be gone.? Columbia State. MIRACLE One evening, so the latest Berlin story goes. Hitler was catching up on his reading. Accidentally be picked up the Bible and read with avid interest the story of tho Red Sea. Immediately be sent a storm trooper to get one of Germany's leading rabbis out of a concentration camp. When rbe robed old man arrived.

And yet there are many children In our midst, who will npt enter and attend our school* (hiH fall and winter, unless from some source they cau secure decent ?ud adequate clothing to wear. If all of us will take the time to search our homes for all outgrown and unused wearing apparel and give this clothing, the Social Workers of the Welfare Department will be glad to place It where It will insure these children entering and attending our schools. This need for clothing applies not1 opfy to the children of school age but to thh children of preschool age their mothers, and !u many cases to other adult members of the family. Suits, dresses, shoes, sweaters, coats, caps, top coats, underwear and any sort of wearing apparel for every age child, boys and girls, and adults are needed. Will you not cooperutu In an effort to gather up all the unused and outgrown gurments in our homes and give them for this worthy cause? Perhaps we have done something for "Bundles for Britain". As the school opens and the winter approaches let us see Is we cannot get together a bundle of laid aside clothing for the dependent children, find their mothers, Of Camden and Kershaw County. Your bundles may be left at the Sunday School building of Bethesda Presbyterian Church at any time convenient with you. They will be turnod over immediately to the workers of the Welfare Department.

VI8ITOR8 IN CAMDEN Acting upon order of Mayor McCorkle town authorities at Camden have built and Installed 24 benches along the sidewalks in the downtown area for tourists and soldiers. In addition, other benches have been placed In parks where they will also bo available to visitors. "So many soldiers ana^lsltors are In Camden at this time..that I felt the city should provide these benches for them to use," Mayor McCorkle explained his decision. Camden Is following the precedent sot by St. Augustine, Fla., and Hendersonville, N. C. It is a good example and other South Carolina cities where soldiers and other visitors congregate, Columbia included, might do likewise. The (jrst step in making a a person welcome in your home or elsewhere is to give him a place to sit down.?Columbia Record.

J June 28pdtf > New Control Act Is Now In Force The Caiuden Chamber of Commerce hue called attention to members that the official icovernment regulations for the control of Installment sales went Into effect last. Monday. The Choraber calls attention to the fact that the now tliue-payment terms are aimed at three major objectives, to curtail needless purchases of any products using materials urgently required for national defeuse; to preveut undue price Increases and thus combat Inflation?thereby proteotlng the family of modest means against excessive living costs and to encourage farslghted thrift not only for defense but also to provide a reserve of savings and buying power as a cushion for the period following the present emergencies. The Chamber points out Ave ways la which the public can play Its part, llrst?buy thoughtfully, not heedlessly or needlessly and help conserve material for national defense production; second?pay cash whenever you can; third, when you buy on time make as large a down payment as you can reasonably afford and pay the balance In the fewest possible number of monthly Installments; fourth, keep a budget and save. Build a reserve fund for the future and buy treasury tax notes to pay next year's income taxes and 'fifth, Invest in America?tyuy United States defense savings bonds and national and personal security. The new government regulations, effective September 1, limit Installment payments to a period of not more than 18 consecutive months on the various types of "consumers' durable goods" listed below. The required minimum down-payment on each type of merchandise Is bIbo shown in the following list.

Rehearsals for the big show will be darted about September 26. American products received Into s'ew Zealand In a recent month were ralued at nearly $1,500,000. Grade A Milk Only After OctoBer 24 (Continued from first page) * must be of smooth concrete or other ImpervlQlis material, ?(?11 lighted and ventilated, all windows and doora screened. The water supply for washI ins must be adequate and of safe sanitary quality. Utensils used must be of smooth heavy-gage materials, I corrosion proof, no agateware, must | be cleaned after each usage, etc. There are strict regulations as to ,millng, bottling and capping and the keeping clean of surrounding premises to stables and milk house. The inspectors declared that almost a year had elapsed since the city served notice that the new ordiance would i become effective October, 1941, and they declare that very little has been done by some of the dairy farmers to comply withe regulations. The close approach of the army maneuver program, the strict requirements of the army over the milk supply and the determination of the city to enforce the provisions of the new milk ordiance to the letter means that according to the inpectors some fast work will have to be done. by some dairies to remedy present conditions which do not meet with the provsilslons of the code. PREPARE LAYING HOUSES FOR FALL GG HARVEST Put the laying house in shape early so that the pullets can be moved in when they are ready to lay, county agent W. C. McCarley advises Kershaw county poultry growers. This will remove any chance of a break in the laying period because of rehandling and moving them, or because of poor housing. The roof should be in good repair, loose siding nailed down to prevent drafts, the house thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and fresh litter put on the floor. Now is a good time to remodel the laying house before the pullets are moved in, he suggests. In remodeling the laying house, it would be wise to remove the dropping board and ventilate the back. The roosting poles, instead of being placed above the dropping board, can be placed 16 inches above the floor. Wire tacked beneath the poles will keep the hens out the droppings. A house without dropping boards has four important advantages: The front of the house where nests, , ' 7yfeed troughs, and water fountains ard' located, is kept cleaner. There is less injury from birds getting on and off the roosts. The birds distribute themselves more evenly over the roosting space. The house is easier to clean and cooler in the summer. The back of the house can be constructed in sections so that it can be opened up the same as the front. This opening is a big help in keeping the pullets cool in the fall when they must be confined until broken from going back to the range. PouJtrymen using this type of house move their pullets in during the early fall and the birds show no signs of consuming less feed. By selling firewood from bombed houses, eleven-year-old Ronald Spanner of Camberwell raised |6 for the London War Weapons Week, and when remitting,, he . wrote, "Please send me a receipt to show people that I have not spent the money".
