WAR DEPARTMENT TAKES'
TRUCK AND BUS INVENTORY
All truck and bus owners In the
nation are being asked to file data on
their vehicles with the Highway Traffic
Advisory Committee to the War
Department. Through the Public
Roads Administration and the Work
Projects Administration this information
is being gathered and tabulated
Into listsvof highway transportation
units available in all parte of the
country for use in case of emergency.
Every owner of any teuck or bus
should file a completed questionnaire,
regardless of the uses to which vehicles
are put in their daily work. In
South Carolnia over fifty thousand
cards have been mailed to all owners
of these vehicles, and over nineteen
thousand questionnaires, or 37 per
cent of the total, have been filled in
and returned by owners willing to be
of service in time of national emergency.
Every owner of any truck or bus
should file a completed questionnaire,
regardless of the uses to which vehicles
are put in their .daily work. In
South Carolina over fifty thousand
cards have been mailed to all owners
of these vehicles, and over nineteen
thousand questionnaires, or .".7 per
cent or the total, have been filled in
and returned by owners willing to be
of service in time of national emergency.
Records made public (October 16 in
Washington. D. C., placed Wisconsin
md Wyoming ahead of the other
it ales with over 50 per cent returns
received, other leaders being Vermont.
47 per cent; Colorada 16 per
rent; Washington and New Jersey
15 per cent;'Rhode Islund, South Dakota
and Delaware 43 per cent; New
Mexico 4.1 per cent; Utah 40 per cent;
Ohio, Maine. Nevada and Arizona 39
per cent. No southern state is included
among the leaders for which
"eturns are quoted.
The five million trucks and busses
n this country present a tremendous
eservo toward which the nation may
urn if transportation emergencies
thould arise in connection with nationtl
defense. But the government in
iVashington has no records of their
dud. location. size or availability.
These items can only be secured from
he owners, who are now asked
o turn in completed questionnaires
it once, and to make returns in South
'arolina equal or better than those
loted for any of the above states.
Data for three great transportation
nediums. air. water, and rail, are
Iready on file in Washington. Highlay
transportation, the fourth great
nedium, will place itself alongside
hese others through the data eollectd
from the questionnaires now in the
ands of truck and bus'owners. The
iced for such information is urgent,
'ruck and bus owners may serve best
y sending in their completed cards
m mediately.
The War Department wants this
reformation. It is of vital importance
a the national welfare. Owners are
rged to (ooperate by completing
heir cards and mailing them back at

and restaurants enjoyed big crowds.

o'clock band concert to be followed
by a motorcade were abandoned at
the last minute and the band concert
was held at 12:30 p. m. The 114th
Infantry band, under the direction of
Warrant Officer James L. Young, offered
a fine program of clarfsical, as
well as popular numbers. This band
conies from Camden, N. J., and is a
splendid musical group.
Theatres opened at 1 o'clock for
the entertainment of the soldiers

Armory.
DestroyCottonStalks
Says Guy Cardwell
The cotton weevil has taken a
heavy toll of the 1941 cotton crop, the
heaviest In years. We thought we
had this pest on the run, but weafher
conditions and failure, to .recognize
the Importance of early stalk destruction
and neglect to bring this about
last tteptember or October, Iras' gtfoir
J the billions of weevils a bountiful
| feast.
' Are we going to help this crop of
j weevils to get through the winter of
1911-42 comfortably, or are we going
to nay attention to the advice given
by our leaders to destroy cotton
Htalks as soon as cotton is picked
(picked as early as is possible) in
order to stop the feeding and breedof
the weevils?
It is said that tests embracing
many years experience at the Pee Dee
Experiment Station, South Carolnia,
show that more than 25 times as
many wevells live over the winter
when stalks are allowed to remain
in the fields until frost as when tbolr
food on living stalks is destroyed
early. When the plunt Is taken from
tho weevil In September, practically
no weevils live through the winter.
When cotton is taken from the weevil
in early October few weevils live
through the Wiuter, but where stalks
are not destroyed before frost a lot of
the weevils live through the winter
tos furnish "shock trdbps" for the
destruction of next year's cotton crop.
Plan to destroy cotton stalks at the
earllegj, possible date and then plan
for an abundance of small grains and
winter legumes on these cotton lands
for soil protection and improvement
aqd for food and feed that is sure
to be needed.
See that you get'a good seed bed
for the grains and legumes. Use liberal
amounts of fertilizer and lime
where necessary and pay attention to
qareful seeding of the recommended
grain and legume mixture#.
Future Borrowers
Can Now Hedge
A plan whereby farmers having
Federal land bank loans may protect
themselves against any post-war
9lump or cropfallures by making payments
into {^'future payment" fund,
which will draw the same rate of internet
he is being charged on his indebtedness
to the bank, is announced
by A. C. Bradbam, secretary-treasurer
Df the Kershaw and Lanshaw National
Farm L,oan Association.
Under the plan a land bank borrower
may now send funds to the
bank to be held In a trust account for
future Installments, and this account
will be credited with compound Interest
at the same rate which the member-borrower
Is paying on his land
aank loan.
"The Federal laud bank and tho
aational farm loan association feel
;hat this 'future payment' fund Offers
i number of advantages to the bor- J
rowers," said Mr. Bradham. "The
sorrower who has future payment
funds in the land bank has a backlog
sf security upon which he can draw in
ime of need to keep his obligation in
?ood standing and carry him through 1
l lean period. He is insured against
lard times?at no cost to him for the
nsurance.
"This new plan permits a land bank
>orrower to make payments for future
ipplication on Federal land bank loan,
lale contract or purchase money mortgage
running to the land bank In any
imount less than the unpaid balance
>f his obligation."
Mr. Bradham said that many farm>rs
were now In a position to fortify J
hemselves against future mortgage
vorrles and In taking advantage of
he future payment fund plan would
?e helping themselves and also would
ie eervlng their country because while
he investment is earning a gopd rate
if interest this money would at the
ame Jime be doing service for naional
defense through reinvestment
iy the land bank.

Wo reiAeniber tho day you laudM
the Spirit of St. Louie and "we" |g"
Paris. The world recognized that ?*
a uiuat ilarlllg Vtmtmo. Amortca fu
proud of you. Wo remember whea
you had nuioh trouble ami many
worries at your home In Ww jttl-8e),
Wo remombor whon you decided t0 K0
to England "to got away froid it' all ~
And we remember how good those
English folks were to you . tlwy lrwtl.
ed you royally and you had tlm stand,
lng of royalty ovor there.
We remember many minor things
about you. Wo remember when you
left England and went to Cor many
We romomber that we felt proud of
you . . . representing the United
States, unofficially, In Germany. We
remember when Hitler and hi?
"group" made much over you and took
you In. We remember when. Hitler
pinned a medal of honor ou y0ur
bosom. In fact, wo remember everything.
Now we wish we could forget
many thnlgs, but we can't ... we
mean many recent things about you.
You were once, the Idol of all, but
now you are the idol of only a few
and many of those "few" have a question
mark before them as to their
Americanism and loyalty to our goteminent.
We don't know what your
plans are or what instructions. If fmy,
you have received from foreign
sources. We do know, however, that
you are doing America '(that gave you
birth and a home) much injury. Wa
can't figure that a man with your experience
(in America) knows muck
about statesmanship or how an American
government should be run.
You have said many things that
true Americans will always remember.
You have tried to stir up strife among
our people, a-\d we are sorry to say
that you hav?* succeeded to some ex- 1
tent. It takee all of the people a long
time to learn a little about some people,
but when they decide definitely
on a purposd .... you can't change
them. You may or may not be an
emissary of some foreign government, I j
but millions of U. S. citizens think you H
are. The damages you have done to Hj
America can be repaired, but the torn
age That you have done to yoursett V
can not be repaired. It is time, for
you to decide where you think is the V
best place in the world to live, Amer

would say off-hand that you like I
