HOT OIF THE KlY^T J^THE SKIPPER. 1 1 q)i Hum! How do you liko these ?ear blackouts? ? ? ? ' Don't ask for our opinion of this latest plume of defense conservation? V V V ? We still have a headache from our react ion to the gasolene economy program as presented by Harold Ickes and Co. .. * * * * V ' But we do get a lot of fun listening to the radio sportcasters and reading what the sport writers have to say about this latest conservation idea. . 9 For instance, a radio sport friend of I ours bad a lot to say the other evcnF jng anent the ban on flood lighting of foottiall stadiums. And he sure had the dope right. For instance, a football game is played at Melton field in Columbia. There are 4,000 spectators at the game. That means that hundreds of homes will be dark while the family Is at the game. Our spcrtcasting friend had the problem figured down so well that he was able to tell just what the saving in electrical energy would be with the football field lighted and the homes dark. * There Is still another side to this latest conservation program. And that side should be 'of interest to every South Carolina business man. What we would like to find out is whether power diverted from South Carolina will he used in the development of defense industries in this state at the source of supply, or if the power thus generated here will be diverted to Tennessee Or other such points. MM??????? Personally we're all out 100 per cent lu a desire to aid the defeuse program, but we feel that South Carolina should share In the use of the electric power. What say? ? . , . The next three paragraphs, in quotes, are from the Columbia Merchants bulletin. ? "We In the Merchants Association foel that there fcre two major fallacies in the reasoning behlhd Washington curtailmeixt. The first*is that we knew I that merchants lu Columbia have | spent more than a million dollars on window, various neon and other sign lighting effects and if this had not been a very vital and direct phase of ! their business they would not have spent this money. "In the second place we consider that Columbia has been discriminated against in the allocation of different industries because It is now proven that Tennessee and other Southeastern states are industrially overloaded beyond their power generating facilities and at the same time Soutjx Carolina is showing their abundance of electric power by carrying a large share of those States' industrial load. "This afternoon letters are being sent to each of the South Carolina Representatives and Senators from our association pointing out these discriminations and at the same time ask that South Carolina be given relief from this blackout as soon as possible and still in no measure interfere with National Defense. We are also pointing out to these represents tlves that in our opinion the next I major iuduatrlal expansion to come ' to the Southeast should he in Columbia and iu other polnta in South Carolina." * I i We alao have wired our senators and congressman for relief. We do not want to interfere with any national , defenao program, but we do want to have whatever tu done, done iu un intelligent manner. What Is good for one area may be bad for another. * t t . We aura are sorry that the line radio broadcasta at the public relations headquarters l are now history, the last one being given lust Sunday evening and like all others, being tops in every respect. We have met a line bunch of fellows from lt&dlo Station WPTF, ltuleigh, N. CX especially Wesley Wallace, announcer and manager of the army broadcasting prog rem. Always obliging, always courteous and a real chap, Wes will be welcome In Camden any titne. This week's potpurri of this and that would be ref ilss if de did not bring to the attention of our readers several paragraphs from last Sunday's Charlotte Obsorvor. For Instance the Observers says "London papers say the British War Office plans for a second fighting front 4as suggested by Joseph Stalin', when (he time Is considered opportuno. "Ae every American knows by now. the 'time will be opportune' when this nation Is ready to send an expeditonury force of two or three million men. It Is a tragic situation in which our leaders have plunged us and we cannot extricate ourselves without actual fighting. We jnusf exert every effort to get it over with, then demand a dominant place at the peace conference four or five years hence,'Instead of being kicked out as b^o^e< "The State department makes public correspondence between Stalin i-nd Roosevelt in which Stalin thanks the Preldent for his 'unusually substantial aid' In lending the Commonists one billion dollars, without Interest to buy weapons to beat Hitler.' "War, like politics, makes strange bedfellows. If Mr. Roosevelt had announced as recently as six months ago he was lending a billion dollars to the Soviets, Congress would probably have started Impeachment proceedings. * "Up to last June, Russia was waging war against our national defense, stirring^ up itrlkee, calling us oh wes and encouraging Hitler. Today we give her a billion dollars to be taken from the pockets of Amreican people In the form of oppressive taxes. And that Is just the beginning. Let us hope that no American is stupid enough to believe Russia will ever pay one dime of this back." * I And In another paragraph, the Observer says "The above Is almost as' bad as the case of Finland, the best example of a democracy on earth. Less than two years ago Russia sent "tier bombers over without -warning, killed women and children, destroyed buildings alid wiped out nearly half | the Finnish army. This nation and the British told the Finns to fight on, that we would supply her with planes, ammunition and troops. But this aid never arrived. Today the Finns may remind Secretary Hull of this fact, also that they've had more oxperience with Russians than we have, having lived under Russian tyranny for nearly 200 years". I i 1 . When North Carolina university end the University of Virginia clash at Chapel Hill on November 20, the form er will have Hugh (Shot) Cox at quarter back while the Cavaliers will have George West handling the same slot. An interesting picture, two Camden grads quarter backing rival teams. Looks as If 'the Camden Bulldogs have a Job ahead of them in tjieir next two and final battles of the season. Tomorrow the Gold and Black warriors tackle the Charleston Bantams at Charleston and then close the regular season against the Gaffney Highs ... , ' : In the homecoming game here ou Thanksgiving day, Nov. 20.' ?P Charleston put rtib ' sltlda under dumtoj; 12 to 0 lust Friday while (.luffuey walloped Chester 35 to 0. ? The Bulldogs will have to show h lot more snap and pep against Charleston and Uaffuey than they did ugutnat llartsvllle last Friday'. The team hogged down badly at times In that game, but inunagod to put ou sufficient sporadic shots- of power ofteslively and defensively to take a 27 to 6 docislou over a team they should have walloped 60 to 0 In u romp. ? The touchdown matte by Hartaville* was the first to be scored against the Bulldogs with the regular lineup in action. Parker of Charlotte scored the other touchdown of the season against our hopefuls, but at the ttme they struggled over the pay dirt line, Camden was using a host of roHcrves. ? V ? To our way of thinking the big attraction at the game last Friday was the mammoth, alert and well uniformed llartsvllle High band. Just imagine folks, 80 musicians in tbisl grand organization, all attired in nutty outfits conspicuous for their uniformity. > Frankly we blushed for shame when the Camden band, only 23 of them, with the natty hats and capes In evidence but with the most heterogeneous conglomeration of pants and skirts we haye ever witnessed. We have taken a lot of pride In the Camden band, but the showing lust Friday really made us mad. A lot of money has been invested in uniforms and equipment. What was wrong. Some one informed us that the time between the end of the school session and the hour of the game was too short for the band members to go home, put on their uniforms and reach the football stadium. To that we point to the 80 members of the HartsviUe band which came some 45 or 50 miles and were in the stadium fifteen minutes bofore the game started. And what about the 23 Camden band members who did show enough school spirit to be on deck? |. m m ? For the love of Pete, let's have a real band out 'for the home-coming game. And to you Mr. and Mrs. Football fhum of Camden and Kershaw county and all over this section of the grand old Palmetto state, he out for that hotne-comlnK game. , It should he the big Kante of the year. It slurta at 3 p. in. Kustern Standard Time, giving you plenty of time to eat that turkey dinner and get out to the football arena. As added attraction we hope to have the Hrltigh cadets stuge a soccer period between the halves of the grid battle. We have discussed the matter with Captain Henry Huglin, commundant at the air school if the boys do not have to fly that afternoon, he will do what he can to arrange for the soccer exhibition. 9 * It'a a far cry from football to thing tall racing, but we have to edge in on this column with a few remarks about that tine race program given at Millway track last Saturday. 9 9 9 9 Our hats off to Molivar Hoykin, Dolly Singleton and the others who worked so hard to put Camden on the flat race map. 9 9 0 9 Three or four woess ago, what Is now the Mlllway track was a peanut patch. Yes, sir-oo-o-o. In another four or five months that truck will have added polish, with grass area within the fence, an Improved entrance road and a lot of other little touches. It has flue potentialities. The race program was line. Outside of a rather poor starting of the first race, the events were Interesting and had the crowd in a mood of tenseness and excitement from start to finish. The presence of foreign officers mud attaches of South Amoricun nations, Canada, Great Hritain as well as a host of high ranking brass hats of the U. S. A., added a lot of color to the affair. * * If we may offer the local race committee a suggesitou or so, we think It would be a swell Idea to have a gate in the fence on the far side from the judge's, stand. We had to crawl through the darned thing to get over to check on the results and we picked up lots of whitewash each time. And we also suggest a press platform for the preBB. The committee had a big truck for the scribes and the scribes used It during the first race and after that it was taken over by spectators. Car Crash Kills Soldier From Elliott Hishopville.
